THE ANGEL I HURT

I still don't want to

I drove my car out of Chaira's house with a broken heart. But I can't be ruined. I must keep the spirit for my two children.

Although it was still difficult to accept his rejection, I was relieved that at least Chaira freed me to meet our son.

I'm gonna learn to let Chaira go, let go so she gets her happiness. She's a good woman, she deserves to be happy.

"Dare,, Lu should be able to chest roomy. Make this a valuable lesson for you. Don't even fall for this. You have to keep getting up. We will both always support you" Dion said that afternoon.

Both my friends visited me. Their arrival was enough to make the burden of my mind and heart decrease as I told them everything.

"Lu can definitely bro!!!" Angga patted me on the shoulder and shook it a few times.

"Thank you," I said.

"Heyyy don't miss it, Inget Levi and the Princess cost a lot to grow. Let's tighten your belt,, work hard!!! Rock n Roll!!!" Dion continues to cheer.

"Don't until his father loses to his brother. Wake up bro,, cook his ashes have a lot of company where his father continues just mellow gini. The spirit!!!" timpal Angga's.

They're correct.

I can't lose to Ray. Not because of prestige or want to show themselves. But I assume this is a whip for me to reopen the doors of success I once had.

I rise,,, you,,,

I don't want to get down, though, I,,

I'm gonna prove to Chaira that I really love her,, and,,,

I'm gonna be a good dad,,,, man,,,

I'm gonna get closer to God, I'm, uh,,,

I have to change!!!

"Do you have to be this fancy at the party? Chaira was ashamed, ma," Chaira said on the sidelines of our family gathering at Chaira's house.

Mom told us what our wedding concept would be. Mama said that mama wanted to use one of the hotels owned by the late papa first.

"Then what do you want it to be like, honey? if you object to a fancy party mama won't just comply. You guys have the show" said the mother patiently.

"Chaira's right mama, it's not a matter of us being able or unable to hold a fancy party, but what we have to prioritize is the sacredness of the marriage contract. Ray personally doesn't want a reception either. Just a core event, ma," said Ray

"Ray can't bear to have it immediately so mama don't make Ray wait for the reception anymoreiiiii" whispered Ray to his mother.

"That you naughty little prick, uh, "The mom that Ray was whispering was amused to hear it.

Chaira who heard Ray's words became embarrassed.

"Bikin be ashamed you're Ray, "chaira murmur.

Ray laughed.

"Already, so how is this, you want your wedding to be held where?" ask mama

"The mosque!!!"

Ray and Chaira who simultaneously answered immediately looked at and then laughed. Apparently their minds are the same.

"Wahhh sehati apparentlyaaaa" mama sneered at them.

"It's been a long time since the law was still not as outrageous as his name ma, ", said Ray

Mama who is impatient want them to get married immediately seriously invite them to discuss which mosque we will choose.

My mom started making a list of invitations. Not many. Just some close family. Ray and Chaira invite only a few close friends.

"Didn't you want to invite Darren Chai?" ask Ray.

"Do you and your mom mind and feel annoyed if I invite her?" Chaira asked back.

"Of course not dear, Darren is also part of your life. He's the father of our son's son. I also want to get his blessing" Ray said

"Ray's right, son, what does it mean to meet once during your wedding? After you get married and live here with your mom, you and mom will often meet her. He certainly came to see his son, right?, just invite him son, all you mama also want to know" Mama added.

"Thank you, Ray, thank you, Mom. Chaira was relieved to hear it." said Chaira.

After deliberating long enough, they finally agreed to hold their marriage for another week. Not much time they use to prepare and start spreading invitations.

Chaira smiled reading our names engraved on the front of our wedding invitation.

"Do you like the design?" ask Ray.

"Yes Ray, that's great" he replied

Chaira seemed to be thinking of something.

"Is there anything that bothers you?" ask Ray

Chaira nodded slowly. He was just thinking who better deliver the invitation to Darren.

"Let me personally give this invitation to him Ray, today he must have come to see the children" Chaira said.

"Dear, I don't mind at all" said Ray

"Why does it feel weird every time you call me baby?" Chaira asked in a joking tone

"Then I won't call you baby, baby" Ray said

"Eehhhmmmm, what yaaaa,,, eeehhmmmm,, Mother just let not lose to the child,,, yes mother yaaaaa,, may yaaaaa,, " Ray seduce.

"May, but not from now!!!" chaira.

"Well, when can Dong be??" ask Ray

"If you've been kind enough to say my name in front of the ruler" Chaira said

"Siapp bosss!!!!" Ray makes a respectful and upright attitude.

Chaira laughed at him.

A laugh,,,, that,,,

The laughter that almost disappeared from his life,,

Even while I was with me I never heard him laugh like that,,,

Maybe Ray is the only guy who can make Chaira be herself. With Ray Chaira feel free.

I feel like I lost once again to Ray,,, I, uh,,,

I who had been standing in front of the door of the house Chaira who was open to undo my intention to enter see their happiness.

"Bettle,,,"

I was about to go back and step outside when Chaira called me. I immediately blinked my eyes many times so that the tears that began to pool could disappear.

"You been here a long time? Why not go in? Ray is also inside. Let's introduce you to mama" Chaira asked kindly.

I just nod.

"You look sluggish without a burden dear, you have even called Mama Ray also by the name of mama. You really have been steady in choosing Ray to be your life partner" my mind while following his steps.

"Ray, mama, there's Darren here." Chaira called them.

Ray appears later by holding Levi. My heart ached when I saw my son so familiar with him. It felt even more familiar and spoiled than when I was with him.

"Hello Dare, how are you?" greet Ray.

"As you can see, it's still fresh in shape" I replied, though my heart wasn't as fresh and fit as my body.

"Eh there is a father, son, let Levi say hello to me first" Ray told Levi.

Ray took Levi down from his carrier and let my smooth-running son come up to me and stretched out his tiny hand to greet me.

I squatted down my body and welcomed my little hero.

"Dad kangen dear" lirihku

"If only we could always be together," my mind.

Satisfied to hold her I asked where the Princess was. Just finishing my question appeared the middle-aged woman carrying the Princess.

"Dare, this is my mom. Mama, this is Darren. His father's son" Ray introduced

"Hello aunt," I said

"Hello son, it's nice to meet you in person. Later I do not need to be surprised and confused if you come to visit my grandson" said mama lightly and laughed.

I forced myself to laugh.

"Mama, if you were still there, you would take care of your granddaughter yourself.No need to be cared for by mama Ray,," I was sad to remember my late mother.

"Thank you for accepting them to be aunt's grandchildren" I said.

"Of course, son, I gladly accepted Chaira to be my daughter-in-law so I accepted everything she had. Including your child and yourself" said the mother

Mama handed me the Princess so I would be content to carry her.

"Pity you son, you didn't even get to know your real mother. Don't be afraid son, I'll protect you." I kissed him.

Satisfied to play with children I say retreat.

"I went home first Chai, the day is also late at night" said I.

"Wait for Dare, "prevent Chaira who immediately rushed inside.

"This is for you" Chaira said as she handed me a thick sheet of paper.

I accepted.

I began to read word for word that was written there. My heart again felt pierced by a thousand swords while reading his name and Ray's name written there.

" Come, we really hope to have your presence to give us our blessing" he said

I nodded even though my head was heavy.

"I must have come" I said

Don't want Chaira to see my tears, I'll leave her house immediately.

All the way I was crying. I let my tears wet my shirt.

"I'm still not willing to let you go, baby, I'm sorry" I said
