RTB 2: I Want You Back

66

. Dinda was surprised by Aldi's arrival. But he still hugged the crying Reifan. Hadi wondered why Dinda could be called mother by a child who had not met them. After Reifan could escape from Dinda, Dinda moved and stared intently at Aldi. The gaze was very different, Aldi felt his breath tight because of the gaze of Dinda who was not as warm as before.

"Sorry dad. I refuse this match." Dinda's words soon passed from before them. Aldi did not want to lose the opportunity, he soon followed even though he had to go to Dinda's room though. Aldi grabbed Dinda's running hand while sobbing up the stairs.

"Minda. Waitaminute! Listen to me first."

"Sound what else Al? You obviously have a wife. And your wife is pregnant." Dinda's shout succeeded in making Hasan and Hadi surprised. Hasan himself does not know if Aldi has another wife at this time.

"The aldi? What the fuck? You remarried without telling dad? Then why are you willing to come here if you already have a wife." Hasan's growl from below looked at Aldi who was in the middle of the stairs with Dinda.

"Dad, you misunderstood."

"No. I didn't misunderstand. Avril herself said her husband was a president. You have Al. Avril's a good woman, and you made me your mistress? Avril's my friend Al." Timpal Dinda again continued to corner Aldi.

"That's dad. He misunderstood. Avril is not my wife. She is the wife of a president. But the president is not me. You know Alvian Revano? He's Avril's husband. Not me." After Aldi explained so, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.

"Minda. Let me explain the truth." Lirih Aldi persuaded Dinda that he would listen to his explanation.

"Oms. Is Aldi allowed time to talk to Dinda?" Aldi turned to look at Hadi who hesitantly nodded in agreement.

"Bo-can please. But not in Dinda's room." It was enough to make Aldi put a smile on his face. By force, Dinda took Aldi to the side yard of the house.

. Inside, Hadi and Hasan are still shrouded in curiosity about the meeting of Aldi and Dinda.

"Rei.. Story to grandpa! Why did you call that sister by mother's call." Hasan persuaded Reifan to tell him about Dinda.

"Mother..like playing with Eifan at home. Beautiful mother. Good mother. Eifan dear mother." The answer is enough to make Hadi understand the meaning of Reifan.

"Alright then I understand." Hadi said now smiling with relief.

"Grandfather... Eifan miss mom. Dear mother Eifan. Mother dear daddy." His words again now sounded more whining.

"Awhile yeah. The mother has business first." Linda took Reifan from her husband's lap.

"Daddy?" Just looking for where Aldi is.

"Daddy is with mom. Eifan and grandpa want? We go up to see the star yu!" Hadi persuaded Reifan and, according to him, Reifan turned to Hadi's lap.

"Avril was my ex-boyfriend in high school. She is already married to Alvi right the age Rei entered into 2 years. After Syifa died, only Avil could become a surrogate mother for Rei. Originally Hasan's father and Linda's mother took care of Rei, but Rei was not at home with them. Thus, Avil willingly offered to take care of Rei while waiting for Alvi to come back to propose at that time. Honestly, I really love Avil. She was my first love, and the love was almost gone I gave her. Because Avil was already willing to take care of Rei, so I always replied to him with whatever he needed. Like driving her to the mall, to the doctor, or even to Alvi's office if I spare, I always deliver it. If you think I'm Avil's husband, it's Dinda's fault. Avil is proof of a love I can't reach. Until I meet you. At first I wasn't interested in you at all, but when I saw Rei loved you so much, it felt like I was looking at Syifa."

"So you just think of me as your late wife?" Dinda interjected with a visible emotional flush.

"It was, but the longer it took, I loved you because I saw you who wasn't with Syifa. Haha a widower like me shouldn't say much. Which woman would listen. Is that Dinda?" This time, Dinda fell silent to Aldi's explanation. He felt he wanted to contact Avril and make sure what Aldi said was true or just divert the blame.

"Dinda. Right now I love you, Rei loves you too, and our parents have already approved. I want you to come back to me, Dinda." Lirih Aldi who bowed because it was powerless if he had to look at Dinda. However, Dinda still chose silence not to respond to every phrase Aldi. After a long time both of them were silent, Aldi sighed in a moment and then moved on.

"Sorry I was hoping for more. Whether it's you or someone else, I shouldn't have agreed to come to see the woman proposed by my in-laws or my mom. After this, I made sure Rei wouldn't ask you where you are anymore. I will give full custody to Alvi and Avril." Said Aldi then he stepped with a very depressed feeling.

"Is that why Rei called Avril with a mommy call?" Hearing the question, Aldi's steps came to a halt and his face turned slightly.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Aldi briefly. He no longer knew what to say, even though he explained at length, Dinda would not believe it.

"What did Avril mean by her friends?" Dinda recalled Demira's words the other day.

Seeing Aldi passed without looking back, Dinda felt guilty for Aldi because he had been thinking a lot.

"Hows it? Is the business done?" Ask Hadi casually. Aldi just smiled thinly harboring his feelings of disappointment.

"Dad, mom, om, aunt. Sorry it looks like Aldi has to come home tonight." They were so surprised. Why sudden?

"Aldi... But why? We just talked about your wedding date with Dinda." Said Salma withholding Aldi's intention not to go home.

"I won't marry a woman who won't marry my aunt. Excuse me. I'm taking Rei back." Aldi answered the questions that came from each of their heads.

When Aldi was holding Reifan, he immediately passed without looking back.

"So, has the wedding date been set?" Dinda asked, making Aldi turn around and hear her question.

"I accept it, father." Lirihnya.
