The Bride's Tears Replacement

AMPP S2 (Chapter 2)

Ting tong's…

The doorbell rang for the first time in two years. Yes, Rafa forbids everyone from coming home except with him or is very urgent. For two years, the bell never rang again.

The house is not equipped with a cctv. Rafa also decides not to hire any more helpers and guards. He worries that the presence of the person will endanger Love.

Rafa also forbids anyone from coming home without his knowledge.

Even when Jack and Hana come, they call Love directly to open the door. So, they don't have to ring the house bell.

"Who's coming?" Checking cellphone.

Who knows there's a call from the guy who pressed the bell button. Apparently there is no notification of any kind.

Love takes a slow step, though hesitant and restless, Love steps towards the door.

"Who?" Shouts of Love from within.

"Papa. Sorry to surprise you, honey." The guest's voice turned out to be his father-in-law.

Soon Love opens the door.

"Papa? Sorry to keep Papa waiting outside." Greet Love by letting Papa in.

"Papa also apologized for coming in violation of the rules of Rafa." He said directly sitting on the living room sofa.

"It's okay, Pa." Sit along.

"This, papa brought by by from Canada." Pouring paper bags on Love.

"What is this, Pa?" Retrieved it.

"Open up." His advice.

Soon Love opened the paperbag happily. When I saw what was in the paper bag, Love's eyes began to look glassy.

"Lad..." Staring haru at the old man who was very attentive to her since the day of Love miscarriage.

"It's a guaranteed potent drug. Yes, Papa hopes that your uterus will come back strong and strong, so that it can receive the presence of the baby again." Obviously Papa.

"It must be very expensive, right Pa?" Ask Love while wiping away her tears.

"It's not worth the pain you have to go through because of your selfishness." Papa said regretfully.

"No, Pa. Don't blame Mama. That day of heartless love." He recalled the incident two years ago.

"Thank you, baby. You're not just Papa's son-in-law. But, to Papa you are Papa's daughter." Papa finally shed a tear.

True love is deeply moved by the love of his father-in-law.

"Can papa hold your hand?" Ask Papa.

A moment Love smiled, then extended her hand before Papa. Soon Papa held it softly. Love can feel the grip of a father's hand. He felt his hands being gently touched by his deceased father who was gone.

"Thank you for forgiving my mother. Thank you for staying with Rafa. Thank you for always being patient." Said Papa while gently stroking the hand.

Love smiles, at once. The veil was wet with tears flowing behind the veil.

"Papa's still hiding this secret from Rafa, right?" Ask Love later.

"Of course, honey. Papa will keep our secret well. As long as you promise to stay beside Rafa. Accompany her, comfort her. Rafa never got the full affection of Mama and Papa. When Rafa and Rani were kids, we were always busy working." Papa said he was sorry.

"Rafa is growing well and is great, Pa. So, you don't have to feel sorry." Entertain Love.

For a moment both of them were silent with their minds. Until finally, Papa decided to go home soon.

"Remember, the drug is taken routinely. Take care of your health, do not be too tired and exercise often." Reminds.

"Ready Papa. And please pray, so that papa's grandson can be present again soon." Vigorously.

Papa smiled happily at the reaction of his son-in-law.

"Take Rafa on vacation. Every now and then, you guys have to be together more often." Papa's Advice.

Love just smiles in response to Papa's advice. So

Papa leaves, Cinta goes back into the house and continues to knit the baby socks that are almost finished.
