Madam Rini got up from her seat without heeding the call of the husband, emotions still continue to wrestle her heart. It was not easy for him to forgive the mistake Mr. Dean had made, even though it was his past, but still the tightness in his chest was not lost just for a past reason.
"Ma, where are you going?" philia asked worriedly as her mother was about to leave the house.
"Mom's looking for the wind." Madam Rini continued her steps after she answered the child's question.
But not until he reached the door handle, Mr. Dean had already held his hand. "Ma, please. Don't be like this, I'm sorry for not being honest with you from the start."
Madam Rini immediately threw the hand that was being held by the husband, her heart still could not accept the reality, if her husband had ever touched another woman besides her.
"Please just give me a minute. This is all too shocking for me."
Neither Filia nor Mr. Dean could prevent Mrs Rini from leaving, they could only stare at the back of the woman who became the queen in the house.
"Pa, what if it's like this?" philia asked her father.
Mr. Dean rubbed his face violently, he himself felt frustrated with the current situation. "Papa doesn't know, Lia." Mr Dean stepped onto the sofa and threw himself back before saying, "Papa does not know if it turns out that Vera was pregnant and gave birth to a child. Papa knew Papa was wrong and Papa also regretted it all."
Filia was silent, she could only look on her parents' pity, without being able to help them. "Sorry because I can't help anything, Pa."
"Alright, Lia. It's all my fault, your mama must have been very disappointed in me, it's only natural that she was cold like that" said Mr. Dean.

Mrs Rini came out of her house and asked a driver to drive her to the home of her late parents. What had happened tonight, made his heart very shaken.
Along the way to the home of his late parents, he was more silent, while occasionally wiping his tears that seeped out.
Why, why do I have to know everything this way? What will they think about my family? What if people look down on my family after seeing this? madam Rini asked herself, she felt a headache from thinking about the current state of her household.
Arriving at the home of her late parents, Mrs Rini immediately stepped into the house. He rushed to a room where his father had asked him to marry Mr. Dean.
Mrs Rini's steps were so quick, that she paid no heed to some of the maids still working there. Some of the servants looked in surprise at Madam Rini, because they knew that Madam Rini was a friendly person to the waiter and when visiting full always greeted them.
"What's wrong with Mrs Rini?" ask one of the services for another service.
"I don't know either, but it seems like he's facing a pretty weird problem. We better not make him grow angry. Let him rest here we only need to serve him well." the senior servant only ordered his subordinates to serve Mrs Rini sufficiently and not to offend her.
"All right, we got it."
After receiving direction from her senior, the servants again dispersed themselves and allowed Madam Rini to enjoy her time alone.
Madam Rini looked back at the room that had been a witness to her receiving an arranged marriage from her father. In that room he once tried to refuse an arranged marriage and in that room he finally accepted his betrothal.
Dad, if that time Mas Dean spoke frankly to me and preferred his girlfriend, maybe I wouldn't be as hurt and embarrassed as I am today. Should I feel disappointed in him now? madam Rini asked as she looked at the photo of her parents, inside the workroom where her father used to be.
The middle-aged woman's face looked confused, angry, sad and disappointed. No bright twinkle emanated from there. The servants of the house also really let it dissolve in solitude. The room where his father worked was the same until today. Although their departure was long, but because it was always well guarded by the servants, so the room still felt comfortable.
Mrs Rini again circulated her presentation through every corner of the room. He hoped to find a glimmer of an answer to the problem his family was facing, until his gaze was fixed on a drawer next to his father's work chair. I don't know why, but he was very curious about the contents of the drawer.
Then he started opening it. Nothing special there, just some files that look outdated. However, as he retrieves the file, his gaze is suddenly diverted to a notebook that he knows belongs to his father.
Father's book, muttered Mrs Rini while taking it. He settled himself in and began to open the notebook and read it. The words by the amulets he had written there had already been read. There is nothing special or strange about this book.
Madam Rini again sighed disappointed because she found nothing in the notebook of her late father. When he was about to save it back, he accidentally found a paper that fell from the insertion of a book, out of curiosity, he picked it up and read it again.
Her gaze of Madam Rini was perfectly rounded as she read the paper. Without realizing it his hands clenched tightly and grabbed the piece of paper he had just read. His tears instantly decayed instantly, the tightness in his chest growing by the time he read the letter.
A letter containing his father's apology addressed to him.
To my dear son, Rini.
"I'm sorry I forced you to marry Dean. I didn't know Dean's girlfriend was pregnant at the time. The woman was also expelled by her parents in the village because it had defamed the family. I'm sorry I didn't tell you straight away. I don't want to ruin your marriage to Dean. Finally, as a form of accountability, Dad took the boy and put him in an orphanage on the edge of town. Last time I found out the boy was mentally retarded. If you'd like to, please accept the child in your home, dear. Here is the wrong father for forcing the will of your late grandfather, without thinking about your feelings. Sorry for making you have to accept the presence of a child from your husband's past."
Greetings dear, Father.
That is the content of the paper read by Mrs Rini. Now the woman can only resign, even though her chest feels very tight, but she must be able to learn to accept the husband's past.
The late Madam Rini's father knew the ins and outs of the son-in-law, and he asked Vera to stay away from Mr. Dean at the time. However, he did not expect if it turned out that his son-in-law had done something embarrassing before they separated. And, when Vera meets again with Madam Rini's father, the woman asks to be reunited with Mr. Dean, but Mrs Rini's father refuses her because he does not want to make the child's marriage ruined. So, he took the boy and put him in an orphanage.
