Right Person, Wrong Time (An affair With First Love)

Alan's taking a promise

Since last night Nicholas hasn't gotten enough sleep. He sat next to Bianca, making sure Bianca fell asleep while occasionally closing her eyes.

At half-six in the morning Nicholas had to return to the hospital before Raina woke up and left Bianca still asleep. Arriving at the hospital it turns out Raina has woken up because Raina all night also can not sleep well thinking about where her husband is.

"Where's all night?! Your number is also unreachable" asked Raina ketus to Nicholas.

"I'm sorry I left last night and I didn't tell you, my phone died all night. Last night Lita and Simon called and said Bianca left the house, so we're trying to find Bianca. He was fighting with Fritz" Nicholas said.

"Meet??" ask Raina again.

"Not yet" answered Nicholas lying. He doesn't want anyone to know Bianca's whereabouts given that he has promised Bianca not to tell anyone.

Raina was silent, she did not want to ask or argue anything with Nicholas at this time, whereas in her mind there were many questions. He chose to shut up and wait for a report from Maya.

Rena still could not believe what Alan had just said. She does not understand what Alan wants from her, a woman who is pregnant with the seeds of another man but instead wants to marry him. Alan's help for him this time was already very excessive.

"Al, I understand you want to help me but it feels like your help is too much this time. Marriage is serious, I only want to get married once in my life. Sorry Al, I can't accept your application" Rena said.

"Who said I wanted to marry you just to help you Ren?" ask Alan.

"Then?" rena asked increasingly cluelessly.

"Rena.. I think I'm in love with you and the kid in your stomach.. You know I've been traveling around Europe for two weeks and it should take Ren a month but I can't focus at all. I always thought of you here, I was worried that anything would happen to you. Do you remember the night I stroked your stomach?! that night I felt very peaceful and there was warmth flowing in me. It's like there's something between me and the baby in Ren's stomach" Alan explained, pouring out his heart all along.

"Al. whatever you're thinking of me right now, it must be just a momentary feeling! Did you ever think of a Alan so great and famous, marrying a woman who was pregnant from another man? Are you able to raise a child who is not your flesh and blood not materially but with your care and affection!!!" said Rena.

Rena thinks Alan must be just curious about her and Alan will definitely regret it later if he marries her. He misses Alan but does not feel that he is in love with Alan.

"Rena. I'm a grown man, I know exactly that I'm really in love. Okay at first I was confused but just now when I saw you open the door for me, I knew it was Ren's love... When we're married, the child in your belly will be my son, using my family name and I will take care of and love him..I'll protect you and I don't want to see your grief Ren anymore" Alan said, trying to convince Rena.

Alan is not a basketball guy, he already likes Rena when they first met at their friend's house but when Rena ignored him even closed himself off from him. When Rena contacted him and asked for help, of course Alan responded well. Although she likes Rena but to propose let alone marry Rena is certainly not on her life agenda until a while ago when Rena opened the door for her and cried in her arms.

"Al, I believe and I can see your sincerity but I'm not sure if I love you too Al" said Rena honestly.

"Okay, you owe me dinner, right for a week?! On the seventh night you will answer my proposal. Give me a chance, for you, for us and for the child in your stomach" Alan said.

"Alright, I agree" said Rena then smiled as if the burden was gone.

Alan hugs Rena and kisses Rena's head and thanks Rena for giving them a chance.

Bianca awakens from her sleep, hoping that all that happens is a dream but unfortunately that is the reality she has to face.

He searches for Nicholas in his apartment but Nicholas is gone and he understands Nicholas must have gone back to the hospital to look after Raina. He felt bad for bothering Nicholas last night even Nicholas to leave Raina in the hospital. Then he picked up his phone and sent a message to Nicholas "thank you Nic" the message read.

Bianca made a glass of hot coffee and drank it to the end. He remembered his son Karen, surely Karen is currently confused because she did not find her mother at home.

He considered Nicholas' words to listen to Fritz's story if he was ready, even if he knew how Fritz's story still would not change the fact that he had an affair with Rena.

"Hello, Fritz" said Bianca.

"Bi, thank goodness you finally connected me." said Fritz in a raucous voice, he had almost lost his mind.

"Will I see you later in the afternoon?" ask Bianca.

Of course Fritz was willing to meet Bianca, he hoped Bianca would understand that he never intended to cheat.

Fritz tries to contact Rena back to make sure that Rena is pregnant with her or her lover Alan but Rena's phone dies overnight. Alan turned off Rena's phone and replaced it with a new number and only Alan and Susan knew this new number. Alan wants Rena to focus only on her relationship with Alan this week and not think much about Fritz's problems.

Fritz saw his reflection in the mirror and he looked different than usual. His appearance was very disheveled even the dark circles under his eyes were very clearly visible. He couldn't sleep all night thinking about Bianca and Karen. Condemning himself, his innocence and his stupidity so that he can get in touch with Rena.

Fritz only hopes Bianca forgives him and is willing to continue her marriage with him but he is confused what if Rena turns out to be pregnant with his child. He could not have married Rena and divorced Bianca. Various possibilities came to his mind but his thoughts were always the same, he did not want and could not divorce Bianca.
