Axel went home. Disappointment is still felt. How not, this is the first time Axel fell in love but instead became the first heartbreak. All this time she never loved someone, I was the first person to make her fall in love. Axel opened the room door. Suddenly Renata stands up carrying a cake for Axel.
"Happy birthday, Axel" Raina said.
Axel looked at Raina flatly and without any expression.
"I made a cake for you? let's cut it we eat together" said Raina thrust the cake at Axel.
Axel fended off the cake until it fell to the floor.
"I'm tired, don't be so considerate of me" Axel snapped at Raina.
"Axel I made a cake for you because today's your birthday is not a snob" Raina said.
He crouched down to pick up the cake that had fallen on the floor then carried it outside.
That night Axel lay in bed, he had been asleep since he came home. The sound of the alarm woke him up. He picked up his cell phone lying on top of a drawer not far from the bed. Axel opened his eyes wide and looked at the screen.
"Gosh it's 1pm" Axel said. He didn't see Raina beside him. Axel thinks Raina might be in the toilet, she goes back to sleep. At 3 pm Axel woke up again, he did not see any Raina. Axel wakes up washing his face in the sink then looks for Raina. She did not find Raina either in her room or in her house.
"Where's raina?"
Axel's confused. He found a letter on the table.
"Letter from Raina" Axel said. Immediately open the letter from Raina.
Dear Axel
Thanks for being so good to me. Without her in my life. You're not a husband but a father to my son. You make this despicable me honorable. Thanks though.
All this time I've been trying to be a wife to you but it seems like you've only seen me as someone else you've helped. I see, you did marry me because you felt sorry for me. That's how much I got from you. I can't get more, because it's not for me.
I think one day we can love each other but the reality is different. You can't love me forever. I'm not leaving because I'm disappointed in you, but I don't want to be a burden to you. You must be free from your pity and attachment to me. Thanks Axel.
Raina
Axel just realized Raina must have been hurt all along. His attitude makes Raina live hanging without a definite purpose, Axel can not give him love just limited to friends.
Axel walked outside in a hurry. He has to find Raina. Especially it's night. It's not safe outside for him. Axel takes a car out of his house to find Raina.
On the side of the road Raina walks alone. The night was so dark as to know the state of his heart was not good. Raina sat at the bus stop, then took the bus. He's down in the area haphazardly. Raina walked among the houses. Raina fell unconscious shortly.
Axel saw the road by the road. Sweeping up a spot outside his car. There's no Raina, Axel feels guilty. I shouldn't have been angry with Raina.

Raina's eyes opened. He was already in a room. His eyes swept around the room. Elegant room decoration. Plus the size of the room was large. Suddenly someone entered the room. Raina was shocked when she saw that person.
"You!" raina. He took the blanket and covered his body.
"Not to be afraid, I found you lying in the street" Albern said.
Raina remembered what happened earlier. It was true that he fell and fainted. Albern approached him and stood in front of the bed.
"I know you're afraid of me because of what I did to you first" Albern said.
"I'm sorry Raina, I'm sorry, I was wrong to make your life suffer" Albern said.
Raina fell silent. Her tears fell on her cheeks. It's like Albern's apology is late. He even lost his son.
Albern kneeling. Apologizing in front of Raina. He bowed his head earnestly regretting his actions and apologized.
"I don't know if I should forgive you or get angry with you" Raina said.
"I won't force you, you have the right to be angry. What I did was wrong" Albern said.
"That day my life was ruined, I had to bring a disgrace that made everyone expel me and insult me. I hope there is a hope by asking for your answer but it falls deeper and there is no hope" Raina said.
Albern. He knows where his mistake lies. It's only natural that Raina can't forgive him.
"At that time I really lost everything, I couldn't go on with my life, I thought to end it but I found a kind man willing to marry me, otherwise I might just stay a name, I thought, go with my baby" Raina said.
"I'm sorry, I'll make up for all my mistakes" Albern said.
"Free, it's too late, what are you gonna pay for?" ask Raina.
"Do you need money? or something else, I'll do" Albern said.
"Everything can't be bought with money, my pride is not an item" Raina said.
"Well, you can be angry, I'll wait until you forgive me, and give me a chance to make amends" Albern said. He stood up and went out of the room.
Raina was just crying inside. Remembering his dead heart. Raina did not expect to lose her baby.
"If Dede were alive at least this heart wouldn't have been hurt this deep" Raina said.
Raina misses her son. She always hoped her son would come back. He wants to be with her.
***
In the dining room Axel ate alone with his mother that morning. Axel looks cooler than usual. He didn't talk to his mother.
"Axel why are you quiet? just let the wife do not know that she left, there is no use in the house, too" said Jonita.
Axel just kept eating his food.
"From time, my mom never agreed with me. I'm poor, pregnant out of wedlock, you've got the sap" Jonita said.
Axel did not speak to his mother.
"Thank God he left, if you need not go back again, good thing his son died if not? we have to raise that bastard child, to put where our family's honor is" Jonita said.
Axel put his spoon on the plate, he stood up and left the dining room.
"Axel ...," call Jonita.
Axel continued walking without looking back, he did not care about his mother's call.
"Based on a stupid child, thankfully I'm smart, that bastard I got rid of" said Jonita.
