"Rexy, you just got home?" Ask Mr. Drake as soon as he sees his son. But Reiz kept quiet, choosing to open the door of his apartment. Leaving Mr. Drake standing in his doorway.
"Come in." Reiz flat.
Mr. Drake sat his body on the living room couch, while Reiz went inside his room.
"Rexy's willing to accept my arrival, hopefully it's a good start. And I hope that my relationship with Rexy will improve soon." Sir Drake said in his heart.
After waiting fifteen minutes, Reiz returned to the living room with two bottles of soft drinks. The man looked fresh after cleaning his body.
"Drink." Reiz handed the bottle to Mr. Drake without looking at him.
"Thank you, son." He said with a smile.
"How are you doing, son? Are you all right?"
"Yes, I'm good." Answer Reiz briefly.
"How's your wife doing? Is he healed?"
"Yes, Rinata is healed."
Both silent. An awkward atmosphere was created, Reiz only answered Mr. Drake's question briefly. But Mr. Drake was already quite happy, because his son was already willing to talk to him again. For eighteen years, Reiz had always denied his existence. Reiz didn't want to see her let alone talk to her.
"Daddy..." The word was said so quietly because Reiz's throat seemed to be choked when saying it.
While Mr. Drake was silent staring at Reiz, as if he could not believe what he had heard earlier.
"Rexy.... What did you say, son?''
"Daddy... Ii'm sorry... " Lirih Reiz while bowing his head.
Mr. Drake got up from his seat, moving beside Reiz whom they had previously sat opposite.
"Sorry for what, son?"
"I'm sorry that I've been so selfish, I never thought about Daddy's feelings. I'm sorry...."
"Rexy, you don't have to apologize. It's all Daddy's fault..." Mr. Drake held the shoulder of his son. Making Reiz look at him, there was no longer the usual cold and flat gaze.
"Rexy, my boy.." Mr. Drake could no longer resist hugging his son.
Comfortable. That's how Reiz felt. Eighteen years he missed his father's embrace so much, but it was as if his ego held him back. Now all the defenses he built have been destroyed. Reiz finally realized what it was like to lose a child and a wife that his father had experienced.
Let's say his father didn't love his mother, but they were once in a relationship. Marriage until he was born. Even so, they always showered themselves with affection.
Like him who said he did not love Rin, but his world seemed to be destroyed when he lost his future son and his wife who was in a coma for two weeks.
"Im sorry, Dad." Reiz murmured softly as his second embrace slipped away. Mr. Drake was only able to shake his head.
"Don't say that again. You're my son, until whenever you're my son. Everything that happened was because of Daddy's stupidity that was never honest with your mother."
The two again dissolve in arms, the affectionate embrace of a father and also his son who for eighteen years could only see from afar.
**********
Rin's days go by with nothing. Although both her in-laws and Tomi and Tania treat her very well, it is undeniable that she misses her cold husband so much.
Why hasn't Reiz seen him? Does that guy not care about him anymore? Do you consider yourself a wife? Or already hate him? Then why not just divorce her?
A divorce? Would Rin be willing to accept if Reiz divorced her?
Rin breathed a heavy sigh. Yesterday when Lady Tyas asked about the certainty of her relationship with Reiz, Lady Tyas also told about Reiz's past.
To his surprise, Reiz was not the only child of the Anderson family. Reiz was the son of Drake William and Marissa Fredric, and also the half-sister of Edra William. They both looked like they knew each other at the time.
Rin also finally found out why Reiz's attitude was so cold and flat towards women. All because of his past, the death of his mother that made him that way. Reiz did not want to fall in love and also did not want to love for fear of hurting a woman, and ended up like his mother.
"We met Reiz when he was seven years old, when we accidentally hit him when he suddenly ran into the middle of the road. We took him to the hospital because Reiz was injured. Although the situation was not so severe, Reiz still had to be treated in the hospital.
When Mommy asks about her family, Reiz is silent and doesn't answer. Finally, after we forced him, he said that he left the house because his mother committed suicide and his father took another woman and a boy to his house.
We were going to tell her father, but Reiz begged us not to tell her whereabouts. Because we couldn't bear it, we ended up abandoning our intentions. Especially when we saw it, we remembered with Tomi because their age is almost the same only two months adrift.
After the incident, we decided to bring Reiz home with us making him our adopted son. We changed the name from Rexy William to Reiz Anderson.
Tomi was very happy at that time, because he finally had a sister. Tomi has been asking for a sister for a long time, but Mommy can't get pregnant anymore because Mommy's uterus has been removed due to illness when Tomi was three years old.
The presence of Reiz is a gift to us. He is a very smart kid and also very smart. Mommy and Daddy loved him very much and never distinguished him from Tomi. They both have the same love.
When Reiz was a teenager, we saw a difference in him. He became a cold man to women. Mommy never saw him close to any woman. Although Tomi always told stories at school and college many women who liked Reiz, but Reiz never wanted to see them. And finally we know, it's all because of his past.
We were worried that Reiz would never open the doors of his heart to women. Therefore, when we found out Reiz was helping you and even taking you to his apartment, we just took action to get you both married. Because you're the only woman who can be close to him. And hope Reiz can open his heart to you.
But in fact we were wrong, Reiz was still cold and it made Mommy and Daddy feel guilty about you." Lady Tyas' story that day.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
The sound of knocking on the door blew Rin's daydream. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it's ten at night. Who's this night knocking on the door of his room?
