The door creaked, the sound of someone's feet approaching followed by the pungent aroma of alcohol. The man who is none other than Chandra. The man walked into Rania's room with a disheveled look. The sleeves of the shirt are rolled up to the elbows with a tie that is half loose. Not to be left behind was a black suit perched on his shoulders.
Chandra's that?
Rania, who had not fallen asleep, closed her eyes. He knows who's coming. The man who is the biological father of his son.
Placing herself on the side of the bed, Chandra watched Chadira's intense deep sleep. Cushion cheeks with slightly pursed lips—because of the sleeping position is closed. "Darling, forgive Daddy ...."
Slowly, Chandra said very slowly. He rubbed his face with one hand. Sucking a drop of tears. Every look at Chandira's innocent face made her feel guilty. And that guilt only got worse when she couldn't let go of Litania. "Yes God ... I was selfish. How can I be selfish and ignore my own son."
Exhaling heavily, Chandra directed her eyes at the mother figure of her child. A beautiful woman who was unlucky to meet him.
Turning around the hair that covered Rania's eyes, Chandra said softly, "I'm sorry, Ra .... I made you and your son suffer. Now I'm hot for Litania. As much as possible I will take care of you. I will try to be a good father and husband. I'll try, Ra. But ...."
Chandra can't continue verbally. For the first time in a lifetime she cried. Seeing the innocent face of the child and imagining how Rania suffered all this time made her show a weak side. He had a heavy head with elbows. Even a straight shoulder seemed to tremble faintly. "But .. but I'm not sure if I can be happy ...."
Really, Rania couldn't hold back. He wiped his tears which also came out. Seeing Chandra cry and wail like that left a sense of guilt in her. Past mistakes are also due to mistakes. I'm sorry too. I was wrong too ....
Wiping the tears that had soaked her cheeks, Chandra brought her face closer to Chandira. "I'm sorry Daddy, honey." Slowly popping the child's forehead. Chandra got out of bed and left the room. A situation that made Rania open her eyes. Staring blankly at the closed door.
Again, Rania's tears were shedding profusely. He filled his mouth with a blanket so that no moaning would come out. Seeing Chandra who gave up happiness for their sake made him moved was also guilty. A feeling that makes him more depressed.
"alright. I have to let her be happy. Maybe we're not fools." Rania laps a trace of her sadness and gets out of bed. Grab the bag under the bed. The bag he had prepared from noon. "Strength, Ra. Your happiness is not in this family."
Rania picked up the pen and the book in the drawer. Write something as a farewell.
Ii'm sorry. I left without saying goodbye. I'm afraid that saying goodbye makes me waver. I'm afraid of greed, Chan. I know I was never in your heart. I also realize that your kindness is solely due to responsibility. I'm grateful for that. But the longer I stay around you, the more I worry. I don't want to be a selfish person who takes the happiness of others for his own sake. I decided to go and go back to Semarang. I'm going to live my life like any other tough woman.
But please. Don't blame yourself. Grab your happiness. You and Litania are a great fit. I'm honestly envious. And I don't want that envy to grow. So I decided to leave.
About our son. Chandira is still our son. The son of error but the most beautiful gift from God. If you and Mom miss him, I'll open my door. But on condition, Litania should know. I don't want to play with the cats and repeat the same mistakes.
About Chandira. I will educate him well. I'll teach him not to make the same mistake we did. And when he's big. I'll explain everything. So you don't feel guilty. Once again find your happiness.
Notes.
Come at least once a month. Jakarta does not have to use a plane. And the most important thing is that the money is not late.
Greetings dear. Rania.
