My Son's Dad

FOUR

“Who is the father of the child you bear?”

Adara was silent, she did not know what to answer. Adara could not possibly confess to Damian that she slept with 4 men.

“Say Adara! The man should be responsible!” Damian raised his voice even more, he was furious because Adara was still silent.

Adara shook her head, she cried. “aI don't know. I don't know who the father of the child I bear.”.

“What do you mean huh?!” Damian kicked down the table in front of him, “Don't you know who the guy who fucked you is?! Are you stupid or have no brains?!”

Usually at times like this Clara always tried to calm Damian and try to free Adara from Damian tantrums but this time Clara was just silent. Her daughter was guilty.

“I don't know Pa.. Ma.. forgive me.”

Damian still could not calm himself, he was really angry. He leaves his daughter, Damian does not want to end up hurting Adara because of his emotions.

“Damian.”

Clara followed Damian, rubbing her husband's shoulder gently. Trying to calm the still emotional Damian.

“I failed..I failed to become a Father, I failed to keep my own daughter.” Damian's shoulder shook, he could not bear her crying. “For so long I've tried as hard as I can to keep her but I'm negligent, it's all my fault.”

Clara came to tears seeing her husband crying, Clara brought Damian into her arms. “It's not your fault Damian, don't blame yourself.”

“This is indeed my fault Clara, I'm not as becus as Dad look after our daughter.”

Damian felt very tormented, the very thing he feared happened.

Since Adara was born into this world, Damian always felt bad feelings, Damian always remembered the bad things he had done in the past.

Because of that Damian became very protective of Adara, because Damian did not want anything to happen to his daughter.

“It's not all your fault, you've tried your hardest to be a good Dad.” Clara let go of her embrace and looked up, wiping away the tears on Damian's cheek. “It's not your fault, okay?”

Damian nodded his head for a moment before he finally re-hugged Clara, burying his tear-soaked face into Clara's neck.

Adara heard everything, she heard the cries of her parents.

Adara regretted her stupidity, had she not been stubborn and gone to that place it would not have been like this.

Adara ran into her room, she stepped onto the balcony and cried. Accompanied by the cold night wind.

“You okay?”

Adara flinched, he turned his head and found Mark standing there. On the balcony of Mark's own room.

Because of their adjoining house, the balcony of their house was not far away, Adara regretted crying on the balcony to look sad in front of Mark like this.

“You okay?” Mark repeated his question.

Adara could only nod her head, Adara did not want to talk.

“I already know about your problem, I heard it from Viola.”

Adara cursed in her heart, she just remembered with Markus' sister, Viola who studied at the same campus as herself.

“Why would you mock me?” Adara stared at the cynical Markus.

Adara smiled cynically, “Help what?! You don't need to interfere, this matter is none of your business!”

Markus nodded his head, “Alright, if you don't need help. I just feel sorry for you, because Viola said based on the gossip spread on your campus, you're pregnant with an irresponsible man and you framed your own best friend so you could pass the blame to your best friend.”

Adara clenched her hand, the rumor was not true. I don't know who would spread such rumors.

“That's all not true! I'm not setting anyone up! I'm the victim here!”

Markus nodded his head again, “That color I want to help you Adara. You can tell them that I am the father of the child you bear and marry me, Adara.”.

“You are crazy huh?!”

“Yes, call me crazy. But I can't see you suffering like this, no matter how much you are my best friend, even if you never consider myself to be your best friend. I don't want you to hurt Adara, let them throw all these mistakes to me.”

Adara shook her head, “You're crazy Adara went inside her room and locked the balcony door tightly.

Markus is really crazy.

***

The corner of Mark's lips was drawn to form a grin.

Just a little more then all his plans will work.

Only a little more, when Adara agreed to his offer, and when the marriage he and Adara set later.

Markus will run away, leave and will never come to the wedding, deliberately to put Adara and her family to shame.

Adara must feel the pain she feels.

“You used to insult me bastard, right? See now who has an illegitimate child.”

***

Aaron lay on his bed staring at the sky of the room with a blank look.

Aaron is thinking about Adara, Aaron does not have the heart to see Adara humiliated on their campus, even rumors are not good even more spread.

The three friends even look bodo period with the suffering that Adara experienced, when in the past they all always cared for each other, but why did everything become like this?

Aaron feels awkward, as drunk as they are. How can they fuck Adara together and simultaneously forget the memory, Aaron feels all that as if on purpose.

But there's no way Adara did it. Adara couldn't possibly trap her own friend to protect her, Adara wasn't that bad.

Adara is stubborn but Aaron knows Adara is not that bad.

If not Adara, who?

But if if it is true that he and his best friend have fucked Adara, then what is the fate of Adara? His other three best friends no one wants to get involved, all of them running away from responsibility.

Should Aaron take on that responsibility? Although Adara's biological child is not necessarily his child.

But Aaron can't see Adara suffering alone, maybe his other friends can do something like that because they don't have the same feelings as Aaron.

Aaron has more feelings for Adara, more than feelings of affection for friends.

Is this an opportunity for Aaron to be able to live with Adara, like what he has dreamed so far?
