Love Divided

"Just reply with a hand department" whispered Adry.

"Sorry" said Raina. She hesitates to stretch out her hand looking at Janeta who looks disrespectful to her. However, Raina did not want to worsen her first impression. He smiled broadly at the woman in front of him so that his rows of teeth were visible.

"Adry didn't you teach her manners" Janeta said in German so Raina didn't know what it meant but smiled back at the hand.

"Raina, Madam." Raina introduced herself.

"Janeta," briefly the woman looked dislikefully at Raina. The focus was back on the ten-year-old boy.

"Let's go in, it's cold outside" Janeta asks Leon to come inside the house.

They went straight to the dining room. Raina admired the shape and design of the Victorian house that was very Artistic, beautiful, luxurious and antique.

"Wow this is like a palace in a fairy tale" Leon said. Janeta and Carl actually understand a little bit about Indonesian but he wants to test first what Raina deserves not he accompanied Adry.

"You like it?" ask Adry. Leon nodded his head. He rubbed Leon's head slowly. Raina and Nita were just walking at the very back.

"Don't you say you didn't want to bring Leon here?" nita still looks calm.

"This is not my wish this is Adry's wish" Raina said. He felt bad for the man for not seeing him for one week and not contacting him at all. It annoyed him half to death but he persisted.

"So all this time Adry was with her?" inner Nita is angry.

They then sat on a dining chair with an elongated table probably enough for a twenty-man banquet. Carl sits at the end of the table because he is the head of the household while Janeta sits at Carl's right. Adry invites Raina to sit next to him while Leon is next to her. Nita herself is near Janeta facing Raina exactly. He looked down his face from earlier. He showed a face of a predator and was depressed.

Raina herself does not understand why the husband and wife who often look friendly now look stretched. Was there a problem that happened that he did not know about? Too bad Roy isn't a woman who likes to gossip otherwise he'll ask about Adry from yesterday.

They then eat together without any sound that there is only tension. Many times Raina and Leon make mistakes they are not used to eating in a table manner way. The use of the spoon knife made Raina depressed. He didn't know which knife to use and which spoon.

Adry did help her but it caused her embarrassment. From yesterday Roy has said do not embarrass yourself that there he even made trouble. Like this cut of steak. Leon chose to use his hands.

The two middle-aged frowns, Mother Adry instead looks flushed her face like holding back anger but she still held back.

Adry let his son eat his way while for Raina he gave his plate that had meat sliced to be exchanged for Raina's plate.

"Sorry, Dad," said Adry. After the meal, Adry asked for time to talk.

"Sorry, Mom's dad. I want to reveal one thing to you. This is my son Leon and this is my second wife Raina."

"I don't know how you guys think about this but I love them like I love Nita."

"I guessed it" said Carl. Carl put down the glass he had just been drinking.

Adry opened his mouth slightly surprised. "I mean Dad?"

"You were a naughty young man who played with women there must be one woman you've hamili, Leon your real son right?"

"We'd better talk about this in the living room." Carl walks first and is followed by Janeta. Nita walks by Janeta's side as an affirmation that Adry's parents prefer her.

"Well.." call Leon.

Adry rubbed Leon's head gently. "We'll talk about this later. Come now come with me to meet your Grandpa and grandmother" said Adry holding Leon's hand. One hand reached for Raina's waist.

"Come on," said Adry.

"I ...."

"All will be well believe me" Adry said.

"I'm just nervous" Raina explained.

"There I am." Adry stared fixedly at Raina. Raina nodded her head. Perhaps at this time, she could not take her in-laws heart but she had taken Adry's heart. That's what makes him a little calm.

The three of them then went to the middle room. The room was spacious, there were several seats one long sofa and two single chairs on its side. While in front of the fireplace there are two single wooden chairs with a higher backrest. There Mr. Carl and Janeta are sitting while Nita is sitting in a single seat.

Raina stopped stepping in doubt. Adry took her hands and led them to a long sofa chair. Adry sat in a single chair facing Nita.

"Okey is all complete. This house feels warm, not as cold as when we were alone," Carl said. Raina was surprised that Mr. Carl could speak Indonesian.

"Forward what you want to explain" Carl said in an authoritative and charismatic voice.

"You're right Dad, me and Raina did have a short relationship and I just left." Adry breathed deeply. His chest felt tight remembering this.

"If only I had known from the beginning my son would not have suffered from living with limitations. He was very ill, kidney failure, I don't know," Adry pressed his eyes hard to hold back his tears.

"My heart is broken seeing the situation and the bad Raina is fighting alone for her, she is even willing to rent out her uterus just for my son's medical expenses. The other cruel thing I did was I was the renter of Raina's womb" Adry said in a stifled and trembling voice.

Everyone in the room breathed. For a moment they were silent. Leon himself clutched his mother's body.

"When did you realize it?" ask Carl.

"The second time I met my son and saw his face was a duplicate of mine as a child. Mom and dad can see it, right?" Adry pointed with his hand at Leon. Carl and Janeta nodded their heads.

"She reminds me of you when I was a kid. It's just that her skin is whiter and there are no dimples on her cheeks" continued Janeta. "But everything is the same."

Adry smiled proudly.

"This child looks calmer unlike Adry who is actively moving here and there" he added.

"Maybe it's an inherited trait from her mother," Carl said making Raina dare to raise her face looking towards the man-in-law in front of her.

"Okey, then what are you going to do now?" carl continued on Adry.
