After dinner, Ray asks Chaira for permission to immediately rest in his room. Chaira who understood that Ray must be tired did not mind.
"Let's kiss abi first son" Ray thrusts his cheek at Levi.
Levi who understood just tried to kiss her. Satisfied to get a kiss Levi Ray immediately parted with Chaira.
"I'm resting Chai, good night" Ray said
"Good night Ray" Chaira said.
Ray went straight to his room which was located in the courtyard beside the villa that Chaira occupied. Chaira who had finished giving directions to her assistant also immediately headed for her own room.
She suckled Levi and put him to bed.
Meanwhile, in Ray's room,,,,, in,,,,
Ray couldn't go to sleep. His memory floated at his meeting with Darren this morning.
"Why should I meet him? Why should Darren?? I should have checked the background of the company before I took the cooperation" Ray regretted his carelessness
"I tried so hard to erase the traces of Chaira it was even me who brought Darren closer to her" her inner self again
Ray doesn't want Chaira's happiness to be disturbed anymore. He remembered that time they were talking together in the garden of the villa. Actually not only the two because there was Levi in Ray's sling at that time.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Flashback talk in the park,,,,
"Chai, may I ask you something" Ray asked without looking at Chaira sitting next to him.
Ray kept fondly stroking and kissing the sleeping Levi. Chaira who was asked looked at him.
"What Ray? If it's something I can give or do, then I don't mind" Chaira said.
Ray stops his activities with Levi. This time he looked at Chaira's eyes.
"Let me be a father figure to Levi" Ray said
Chaira flinched hearing that.
"Ray,, "Caira was about to talk
"Don't misunderstand Chai. I just want to think of Levi as my own son." cut Ray quick
"No Chai, don't think about marriage. Although you know how much I want you but I never want to use what happens to you to make you mine. I'm not happy with the separation of you and Darren. I'm sick, Chai, I feel your pain" Ray said
"Therefore let me give you and Levi a place to be a part of my life. Let me be a father figure to Levi. I don't want Levi to grow up without a father's affection" she continued
Chaira who was still silent began to shed tears.
"I appreciate whatever your decision is about Darren. I will always support you. Including your unwillingness to tell him about Levi. I can understand and understand Chai, and I don't want to force you to change your decision. But I want you to remember, too, you might be able to get through this without Darren, but Levi??? At least present a father figure for him. He needs that Chai, "Ray's back to talking
Chaira was getting bowed and Ray could hear her sobbing.
"Did I hurt your feelings Chai?" Ray begins to worry about seeing Chaira who never stops crying.
Chaira nodded slowly. His face is still down.
" I,, "Chaira stop
" Why Chai?"asked Ray curiously
"I don't really want you to keep getting late and dragged into my life, Ray, but you're right. Levi needs a father figure. I want to grant your request but I'm thinking about your future. Me and Levi will only be your burden" Chaira said
Ray smiled. Levi kissed him many times.
"My future will be very bright with you. Being a part of your life makes me happy. So don't you ever hesitate to let me consider Levi my son." Ray answered with complete confidence.
"But Ray, "Chaira is still trying to resist
"Call me Abi just in front of Levi, and I'll call you mother in front of him. Let Levi feel he has Chai's whole family. Remember, you don't have to marry me. You remain free to determine your future with Levi. So don't be burdened with this." Ray tried to convince her
"We will explain everything to Levi when he can understand everything Chai" he continued, looking at Levi's innocent face.
"To be with you, I'm very happy. I don't need the clarity of our relationship. I just need your permission at my request" Ray said
"Well Ray, you may consider Levi your son and you may begin to accustom him to calling you abi. I don't mind. In fact, I am very grateful for your love for him. It means a lot to him Ray." said Chaira
Ray's eyes sparkled hearing it.
"Hello Abi's son, abi's hotshot." Immediately kissed Levi again many times until Levi woke up and cried.
"Rayyyy,,, you woke him up" Sumpul Chaira who immediately took Levi from Ray's sling.
The crying Levi started to smile as Chaira carried him.
"Wahhh son of naughty abi yaa,, ask her to be carried by the mother continues" Ray pinched his gnarled cheek.
Levi was crying again from the cut.
"Raaaayyyy, that's so naughty!!!" Chaira brushed Ray's hand
Ray caught his hand and grabbed it. He took it to his chest and taped it.
"I've always loved you Chai, no matter who you choose to go on with your life, I want you to always know and remember, I've always loved you" Ray said
Chaira lets her fingers stick to Ray's chest.
"Ray,, me,,, "
"No Chai, don't answer and say anything. I don't need it. I never want to know how you feel about me but I'm sure the love I have is enough for us" Ray said.
They looked at each other until Levi's cry resuscitated them.
"Can you let go of my hand Ray, I have to breastfeed Levi" Chaira said politely
"All right, I'll be waiting for you at the dinner table. After you're done, follow. I ordered a lot of this heart food for all of us here" Ray said
Chaira nodded. She immediately breastfed Levi as soon as Ray was away.

Back to the present,,,,, you,,,,
Ray never regretted making the decision to make himself Levi's father. He even felt like he was married.
There are children and wives waiting for work. Ray never regretted it even without the status and clear bond between them.
The bond of heart that has been firmly knotted is enough to warm their small artificial family.
But Darren's presence starts to annoy him. Ray doesn't want Darren to break it. Ray doesn't want to have his own Chaira. But Ray thought about whether Darren could accept everything?
Until now even Darren did not know that he had a son. I don't know when Chaira wants to hide it. Ray never asked.
Whatever Chaira's decision she will always support him, accompany him and protect him.
Darren flashed a wry smile as Ray asked him to convey his greetings to Chaira. Darren looks sad to hear Ray mention Chaira's name.
"Did he feel like he lost Chaira?" thought Ray
"What am I supposed to do? tell Chaira or try to figure out what Darren feels like to Chaira?" Ray was confused with himself.
One side he wants Chaira to know about his meeting with Darren so he can take the right steps.
But on the other hand Ray also wanted to know and was curious about Darren's feelings.
"Could there still be a sense of love for Chaira from him? Could there be a desire to improve his household with Chaira?" figured
"Then if you knew all the answers, what would you do, Ray? Release Chaira? Or hold it??" Ray's getting dizzy
"Aaaarrggghhhh I'd better get some sleep. Maybe tomorrow morning my mind will be clearer" he said
