"Have you finished breaching?" tanya Ferdian looked into the children's room to see Meka who was arranging clothes into a suitcase.


"It's over soon" he replied.


"You brought anything up to this much?" Ferdian was quite astonished to see there were two large suitcases just for Davin and Callista's clothes.


"They're kids, easy to sultry, so it's necessary to bring a lot of clothes."


Ferdian plans to take his son and wife for a vacation to Bali for one week. He deliberately set aside time on the sidelines of busy work as a gift for Meka who has been caring for children at home. He said women need to be invited to vacation so as not to stress. He complied with his desire to stop working. Although Meka was also rationed by tens of millions each month, she could rarely afford to give her vacation time.


"We can buy there, just bring one suitcase. We want a vacation, honey, not a move ...."


"Dear the money, Di. They are also soon big and the clothes will be unused. I also brought a lot of new clothes that have never been worn."


Ferdian bobbing head. "I can even buy you a clothing store, don't be such a hard man!"


"Rather than your money to buy a clothing store, give it to me!" Meka stretched out her hand.


Ferdian could only clack to his wife's behavior. "Yes, it's up to you! Come on down now." The man finally gave up.


Meka closed the second suitcase she wanted to carry. He gave Ferdian a suitcase and a suitcase to carry. They took the elevator from the third floor to the bottom floor.


"Ferdians!" There was a sound of screaming from the front door. The woman walked in quick steps toward the two who had just stepped down from the elevator.


Renate. After a long time lying in a coma, he can finally recover. Thanks to intensive care until his family repeatedly changed doctors so that Renata could wake up again.


Ferdian and Meka are shocked to see Renata's presence. The peaceful life they had just started seemed to be re-shaken. Especially the conscious Meka only became a surrogate as long as Renata lay sick.


Plaque!


Renata slaps hard at Meka. He had heard all the stories from his family. During her illness, Meka did not know herself to be Ferdian's second wife and mastered Callista, her beloved daughter.


"What the fuck are you, Renata!" Ferdian went forward to face his first wife so as not to injure Meka again.


"You are the same! You have to be with me! Traitor!" Renata curses Ferdian with a tone full of disappointment.


"I can explain everything ...." Ferdian did not expect Renata who seemed to have no life expectancy could finally come to a realization. He pulled Renata's hand to come with him to the central room area.


"You are not at all refuting or evading. So, what I heard from my family turned out to be true, right ...." Renata's eyes were full of hate. "You're the cruelest husband who would throw away your own wife to marry that cheap woman!" Renata's tone grew higher.


"I never threw you away!" Ferdian chimed in with a higher tone. Renata was silent. "Since you've been in a coma, I've always taken care of you. I paid the doctors and nurses to look after you 24 hours at home, while taking care of Callista who had to be separated from you. Your own parents forced you to leave me."


"That's because you're not serious about treating me. Perhaps it is your wish to marry Meka without my permission."


Ferdian chuckled at Renata's words. All his sacrifices have been considered useless just because of the words of the Renata family. "Your family must have been a lot of bad-tempered about me, huh? Since when have you believed in them?"


"Who else should I trust besides them? Do I have to trust you who's married to another woman when I'm in a coma?"


"I married Meka for the good of all." Ferdian tried to give him a reason.


"Yes, that includes! I'm a normal guy who needs to channel biological desires. There's no way I'm gonna raise you who's sick!" Ferdian didn't dodge Renata's accusations. She blatantly tells him why she married Meka. Seeing Renata's presence in good health, it initially made Ferdian happy. But, being constantly cornered by the woman he loved the most, made Ferdian feel fed up.


"They are also women who gave birth to my son, Davin. She's an affectionate mother, even wholeheartedly willing to care for and breastfeed Callista as long as you can't do that for Callista. You should be thanking him for helping to keep Callista's cow's milk allergy in check."


Renata grew more hurt to hear Ferdian as if to corner him and defend Meka more. "If I had known, I wouldn't have let my son be breastfed by a woman like her!"


"More!" snapped Ferdian.


"It's been, .. I'm wrong." Meka who had been silent spoke up. He approached Ferdian and Renata who were struggling. From the beginning he already knew his position, Ferdian also clearly said his position was only to replace Renata during illness.


"We have an agreement. Once you're healed, our marriage will be over."


"May ...." Ferdian doesn't like Meka talking.


"I'm sorry, Ren. No more fighting with Didi. I'll get out of here."


Ferdian got up from his seat and approached Meka. "You shit? Who gave you permission to make a decision." He held Meka's arm.


"Don't pretend to forget the covenant at the beginning of our marriage, Di. I'll take Davin away with me. But, you are also free if you want to visit it occasionally." Meka let go of Ferdian's hand. He walked over to Davin who was playing with the nannies, watching their parents' commotion since.


"Davin, come with Mama." Meka stretched out her hand. Davin welcomed his mother's hand. The nannies could only bow down not daring to interfere with the problems faced by her employer.


"Where are we going, Ma?" ask Davin.


"We're going home, honey."


"But this is our home."


Meka smiling. "No, Honey. We are just guests here. Now it's time we go home to our little house first."


"Callista's grandfather was invited?" ask Davin again.


Meka menolrh towards Callista, the baby that he had been breastfeeding had grown bigger. The little boy stretched out his hand as if he had given the code to ask to be carried by him. His heart was screaming. Although not a biological child, but parting with Callista made his mind hurt.


"Callista's got his mama, honey. She'll be taken care of by her mother."


"Keep, will Papa come with us too? Is Papa going to stay with us?"


"Yes, Papa will come." Meka just pacified Davin so that he was easily invited to go.


"May." Ferdian held Meka's hand. His eyes were already glazed as Meka was about to leave him. Moreover, hearing the sound of Callista's cry that did not want to be left by his mother, he continued, increasingly making Ferdian destroyed.


"Finish your business with Renata, Di. You know where to look for me, I'm not gonna run away this time." Meka let go of ferdian's hand. He walked steadily while holding Davin's hand with him.


Life is not just a matter of love. The thing that makes Meka strong is to always hold on to the reality of life and not need to rely on others excessively. Even if he had to leave everything, he did not need to feel burdened. In the past, he also started from himself and had nothing.
