The Grace of Debt Redeemer

Persuading the Children

"Nadine, Keenan, since when have you two been there?" Ask Nathan.

Then Keenan and Nadine walked up to them.

"Pi, is it true that Papi is Nadine's real father?" Keenan asked with a soft look.

Nathan looked into the eyes of his children who seemed to ask for an explanation from him. He was confused what to explain to the two genius children. But this was a good time to explain as well as ask permission to the two of them.

"Nadine, Keenan, let Papi explain yes. So it's true that Papi is Nadine's real father" Nathan replied.

Keenan and Nadine widened their eyes and closed their mouths like adults because they did not believe. Nadine really did not expect if the father of her best friend was her own biological father.

"Ma, is that really Ma?" Asked Nadine who couldn't believe it just like that.

Dinda was silent, she looked at the child's face and nodded her head quietly, powerless to hide the problem from her son. It is true that Nathan and his mother said that Nadine deserves to know who her real father is.

"Can't Ma? It's not that Mama said that Papa Nadine is dead," said Nadine, who sounded so sad in Nathan's ear, how could Dinda tell her son that she was dead.

"Why Papi never said that Nadine is Papi's son. Means Keenan and Nadine brother dong," asked Keenan.

"He was right Keenan, so Nadine is your sister" Nathan replied.

"This is how Mr. Doni, Miss Santi, how about the four of us get out first. Let them talk" Cynthia asked.

"Santi, Doni and Frans agreed. Then they immediately came out of the room.

"Pi, Keenan is the son of Papi and Mami, if Nadine is Keenan's sister, what does it mean that Nadine is also Mami's child?" Ask Keenan.

"Dear not, you are indeed the son of Mami Clara, but Nadine is the real child of Auntie. You're one father's brothers." Dinda answered Keenan's question.

"Yes right. So like this, Papi and Mama Dinda used to be in a relationship but at that time papa was also married to Mami Clara. Papi did not know if at that time Mama Dinda and Mami Clara were both pregnant, which is pregnant you two. Therefore your age is not much different," said Nathan.

Although Nathan was hesitant to explain to his son, he had to explain it anyway. After all, the two genius children would be quick to catch and understand what their parents mean.

"So that's why Papi split with Mami?" Keenan asked Nathan to his surprise, a little boy could think if his father had left his mother for another woman.

"Darling, it's not like that. So Mami and Papi were betrothed, we were both married but never really loved each other. Even you yourself can see that your Mami does not care about Papi at all, does not care about you. Your mother is only concerned with her work and herself. And you need to know, the person Papi loved the first was Nadine's mother. Therefore now that Papi and Mami you will be separated, Papi wants to teach Papi love again that is Aunt Dinda," Nathan said trying to explain.

"What does it mean that Nathan wants to marry Mama Nadine?" Circlap Nadine.

"Nadine, Om is your Papa. Forgive Papa for never being next to Nadine, but if Nadine and Keenan approve of Papa and Mama getting married, then Papa promises to always love Nadine as Papa loves Keenan. You two will always be together, you can play together, you will live happily as brothers" Nathan said.

After several hours of talking, Nathan and his family say goodbye to go home so that Dinda can think clearly while discussing first with his family including Nadine. In three days, Dinda promised to give her answer.

"Why are you quiet, honey?" Cynthia asked the granddaughter as they were on their way home.

"Jawab dong if Oma asks," said Nathan because Keenan did not want to talk at all.

"The bad guy, Papi wants to get married again. Papi really left the mami" Keenan said, folding his hands together and resting them on his chest.

"Bapi doesn't mean Keenan at all. Papi and Mami you are separated and that means Papi can marry again. Why is Keenan unhappy that Papi is married to Aunt Dinda? You should be happy dong, later Keenan used to always play with Nadine, we no longer need to come all the way there because later we will live together," said Nathan.

"Ya Keenan is happy if he can always play with Nadine, Keenan will also be happy to be with Nadine every day, but Kenan still wants Mami. Keenan does not want Aunt Dinda who became Keenan's mother to replace Mami" said Keenan.

"Darling, you heard yes, there will be no one to take your Mami's place in Keenan's heart. But you have to understand dong" Nathan said.

"Nathan, it's Nathan. However, Keenan is only a child, he still needs time. You better shut up first" said Cynthia.

Not long after, they arrived home. Keenan just got out of the car and ran to his room.

"Nathan, you don't bother Keenan first, let Mama talk to him later. Mama is sure Keenan will definitely understand if this matter is discussed slowly and given understanding, do not need to rush like you," said Cynthia.

"Yes Nathan, that's right your mother said. You better take a break now, let Keenan be your Mama's business" Frans said.

"Yes Ma, Pa, then Nathan goes into the room first" Nathan said, responding to a nod by his parents.

Nathan immediately stepped into the room to rest, not only his tired body, but also his brain.

Meanwhile, Dinda is also trying to persuade Nadine. Nadine who had been reluctant to talk had made Dinda in the fog and felt very guilty.

"Nadine, are you still mad at Mama? I'm sorry I never told you this before. Because you're too scared dear, Papa you already have a family, we don't deserve to be among them. You know how tormented Mama has been hiding everything from you, my heart aches because I have to tell you that your Papa is no more. But if Mama's telling the truth, how can Mama bring you two together. It was really hard for Mama Nadine" said Dinda who shed her tears.

Nadine was sad to see her mother cry, she immediately threw her arms into the arms of the mother.
