My Son's Dad

TWENTY-THREE

Adara came home in a mess, she cried all the way home. Adara promised that she would never go there again.

Adara will not let her mind go awry because Markus, Adara has priority and priority is Cherryl.

Okay, Adara admitted he felt sorry for Mark, he also felt sorry because Mark had to experience all that but Adara could not do anything, and he did not want to interfere, either, it's enough there and Adara will return to her focus, her daughter.

Adara can't think of anything else, he has to keep focusing on Cherryl. Cherryl is in desperate need of Adara's attention.

Although Markus had relapsed Sabrina could not cover his happiness because after a long time Markus finally spoke, all this time Markus did not want to talk. He just cried, laughed and called out to Adara. Only it was accompanied by his dangerous action actions.

Sabrina did feel her heart sliced when she eavesdropped on the conversation between Mark and Adara, Sabrina realized that she was one of the causes of Mark being like this.

Had Sabrina given me as much affection as Mark needed, not forgetting Mark then Markus would have been fine by now. Maybe Mark is now happy to have a wife and children, instead of languishing in a place like this.

Sabrina's only hope is now Adara. If on the first day of Adara's visit only Mark spoke, in the future Mark might be cured. Because what Mark wants is Adara.

Somehow Sabrina had to persuade Adara to visit Mark again in the future.

“Where are you out of?” Lucas asked, he had just come out of Cherryl's room.

“Not where, did Cherryl sleep?” Adara did not want to say that she had just returned from seeing Mark. Because Adara knows that Lucas cares deeply about Markus, Adara does not want Lucas to ask Adara to see Markus again. Once made Adara's heart hurt.

“You didn't go home to your apartment?”

Lucas furrowed his brows, “You didn't ask me to stay? Usually you always ask me to stay behind to help you take care of Cherryl.”

Adara gigapan, “Eh. You must be tired, you have been looking after Cherryl all day and also work, you definitely need a break.”

Lucas knows that there is something strange about Adara but Lucas does not want to raise the problem, he chooses to leave. Maybe her sister needs some time alone.

“I go.”

***

In Aaron's heart pray, may he still be given a chance. Hopefully after his prison term runs out he can return with Adara, even though he knows it is impossible still Aaron wants to continue to hope. Because it was only hope he had right now.

Hope that someday he can be happy with Adara and their children.

***

Just yesterday Sabrina said that she only asked Adara to see Mark once and Adara obeyed her but now Sabrina came back with a million sweet words and a plea to Adara for Adara I want to visit Mark again.

Sabrina said that only Adara could make progress in Mark's healing, since only Adara was the one whom Mark listened to.

But of course Adara refused, because for him it was free.

It is free to give false hope to Mark, if in the end when Mark is healthy again Adara can not be with him.

Sabrina should have understood that giving Mark false hope would only make Mark worse.

“Sorry Aunt I cannot, if indeed Markus wants to recover it must be of his own volition. Not my influence, if he was healed just because of false expectations from me, when we could not be with Mark would definitely punish himself again. And everything will actually get worse.” said Adara trying to make Sabrina understand.

“So you really don't love Markus? Then who do you love? Your husband lied to you? Your husband is clearly the prime suspect why Mark is languishing in a mental institution right now?!”

Adara shook her head weakly, she did not know with her current feelings. He's confused.

Does he love Aaron?

Or is Adara just scared out of her safe zone? He is already too happy with his life with Aaron and his daughter, and everything suddenly falls apart.

Adara still can't think clearly whether she loves Mark. Who since childhood always with her, or love Aaron who became a protective figure when he was weak.

“I can't, sorry aunt.”

“Tante please, at least help Mark not as your best friend, not as a man who loves you but as the father of Cherryl. So when Cherryl asks you one day where his father is, you don't have to be ashamed to say that his father is in a mental institution. Because with your help I'm sure Markus will recover quickly.”
