The charm of Father-in-Law

Sculled

DEG

Gery's heart felt like it was beating unruffled. It was like getting a slap when he heard his father's words.

Gery looked at Dante who was looking at him with giddiness.

Silent

In the middle room it became quiet.

Hana smothered her mouth and broke into tears upon hearing Dante's shocking confession.

The Servant Chief's Aunt who watched the quarrel from a distance closed her eyes tightly, as if she knew about the great secret that had now been revealed.

Dante turned his face away, exhaling his breath violently.

"Daddy." Gery's tongue was suddenly confused, the emotions that controlled him immediately disappeared, replaced with sadness that penetrated into the soul.

The earth he was on felt like it wanted to collapse at that moment, was he really not the son of Dante William? gery's thoughts guessed.

"I'm sorry, maybe it's time you found out the truth" said Dante, still in the same position, turning his face away, reluctant to look at Gery.

"What's really going on?" asked Gery in a soft tone.

The butler's aunt approached Hana and led the girl to the room, so that the two men would speak with four eyes.

"Auntie, what's going on?" hana asked, when she was in the room, she sat herself on the edge of the bed while looking at Auntie who took the P3K box from the dresser drawer.

"Here, Auntie treat this bruised cheek of yours" Bibi said without answering Hana's question.

"Bi-i"

"Don't say much, Miss Hana!" bibi asserted, at once Hana was immediately silent not daring to make a sound again.

"No, you are not my son, indeed" Dante replied, exhaling violently repeatedly, actually he could not bear to tell this truth to Gery who he had grown from a baby to grow up like this with great affection.

"Dad-" said Gery faltered when his throat suddenly choked.

"Gery, even if you're not my son, I love you and raised you like my own son" Dante said with a heavy heart.

Gery lowered his head, he felt guilty and did not know himself because all this time he was ungrateful to Dante, even he hated the man.

"Mommy and I were married for a reason. Your mommy got pregnant out of wedlock with her boyfriend when she was just 16, as a friend who secretly loved her, I offered to take responsibility for the fetus she was carrying, so that he does not abort his womb," explained Dante, his mind glared far as he married his ex-wife until the birth of Gery into the world that gives happiness in his life.

"Now you know all about the secrets that Daddy has been keeping. One thing you should know is that you will remain Daddy's son forever" Dante said, staring at a tearful Gery.

Oh my God, the heart of this man before him began, thought Gery, he could not speak anymore.

"Daddy, I'm sorry" Gery said between sobs.

"It's okay," Dante replied, hugging his son, and patting his son on the back several times. "You'll still be Daddy's son" Dante said.

"No, Dad. I've been wrong to Daddy a lot, even disappointing Daddy, I don't think I deserve to be Daddy's son" Gery said.

"Don't say that again. You are still my son" replied Dante, breaking his embrace.

"Repair yourself before it's too late, and let Hana go, divorce her, pity she's already suffered too much because of you," said Dante, making Gery's body instantly freeze upon hearing his father's last words.

"Dissolve Hana?"

"Yes, Daddy will take care of your divorce" said Dante.

Gery was silent and felt very tired.
