Papa's Choice Man

Our first fight

Anna and Rayyan were both in the room. Anna slowly removed Rayyan's hand from her waist and inched away from the man.

'Why is Rayyan not surprised at all, has she known about it for a long time?'

"Thank you for giving our daughter a beautiful name. Thank you for taking good care of him all this time. I know it's not easy for you to live a four-year life. Being a mother and a father to Rayna at your young age. I promise An, I'll pay for all the suffering I've caused all this time..."

"Since when did you find out...?"

"From the first time I saw him..."

Anna turned her body to face Rayyan who was beside her "In Bali...?"

"I honestly just found out recently. But when I first saw Rayna, my heart trembled. I have known him for a long time and so close. It was like there was a very close bond between us. I'm a fool, for I don't recognize my own son.."

Rayyan let out a long sigh "If only then did Aunt Yasmin not make up stories about you having a miscarriage, and made up stories about your marriage, he said, we must be living happily with our little family now and not be separated.."

Anna smiled cynically. "Why are you so sure..? even if Aunt Yasmin didn't lie back then, do you think I would have accepted you back then..? just so you know, I hated you at that time. I think I want to kill you. Papa I died, and that's because of you." Anna's anger peaked again considering the incident. "I don't know how I'm going to get on with my life then. Luckily there was Jerry who was always there for me. Which always strengthens me..."

Deg

Rayyan's blood rippled. Somehow she didn't like it every time Anna mentioned the man's name.

"Jerry again Jerry again. I told you An, Jerry it's just making things happen. He doesn't really love you...."

"You're why the hell always prejudiced against Jerry. You should thank him because Rayna is here now. As long as you know, at that time I was thinking of aborting my womb. I don't want your flesh and blood in my womb. I really can't think clearly, my heart and mind are filled with hatred. But Jerry always encouraged me and always convinced me that I could get through it. He promised he'd always be there for me, and take care of Rayna..."

"Oh yeah..? then where is he now..? you're sure he'll keep his promise...?" rayyan's voice began to rise. It seems like she's really emotional because Anna has always been proud of Jerry.

Anna was silent. Of course Jerry will not be able to keep his promise given that there is a big stone blocking them now.

"Forget that brengs*k guy. He won't be able to get close to you and Rayna again." Rayyan's voice began to soften.

"Jerry was married three days ago..."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious.. They're having a wedding at hotel X belonging to his wife's family..."

Rayyan found out from Tania's own father when they met together. Rayyan was shocked and unexpected because she was close to her ex-wife. But Rayyan also felt relieved that there was no longer an obstacle for her to get Anna back.

"That's impossible..! Jerry again in Singapore now takes care of his papa business.." Anna still couldn't believe it and she tried to smile.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. That's obviously the truth.."

"You lied..! you must have intentionally made up a story to keep me away from him...?" Anna still doesn't believe it.

"If you still don't trust the phone right now. Ask him directly..."

Anna immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Jerry's number there. In the first ring there was an answer from the other end. And that's a woman's voice.

"Hallo.." The voice sounded so soft.

"Yes hello.. Can I talk to Jerry...?" asked Anna without saying anything.

"Ma'af.., if you may know who I'm talking to..? and what's the matter with my husband...?"

Degs...

Anna's heart stopped beating. Jerry is really married.

"I'm his friend..."

"Oohhh Jerry is busy again mbak, can not be disturbed. Ma'af yes, maybe next time you can talk to him.." immediately the phone disconnected.

Anna was silent with her body trembling. Tears began to bathe his smooth cheeks.

'Why do you lie to me Jer..? what does our closeness mean? maybe it won't hurt this much if you come clean from the beginning'
