The Love After Marriage

Bab82

Today the weather is a little cloudy as if to feel the atmosphere of sorrow for the death of someone.

Yesterday was the day of Keyla's last meeting with Keysa in the hospital. Keyla himself did not think that Keysa left so quickly. Keyla is now watching Keysa's funeral. She mourns Keysa's death, though Keysa was evil to her, but today Keyla forgives her.

At the funeral there were many people present, including Edwin who was staring at him making Keyla want to leave immediately from there. After the funeral was over and the people had begun to disperse, Keyla also wanted to go home soon of course after she offered her condolences to Malvin.

Keyla crouched down beside Malvin and held his shoulder next to Malvin's.

"I'm so sorry, Vin. You're the stoic one." Keyla told Malvin, who was crying for her sister. The man was holding a tombstone bearing the name Keysa Sabira.

"Thank you Key, I'm sorry my sister ruined your household" Malvin said sincerely, representing Keysa.

"I've forgiven him" Keyla said, although it's hard to forgive, but he tried to defend himself.

"Thank you Keyla"

"Sama-sama Malvin, then I'm sorry to go home" said Keyla, after getting a nod from Malvin, he immediately rushed home because Gempara must be waiting for him at home.

Keyla had just arrived at her house, as she was about to open Edwin's door to stop him.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Keyla.

"I want to see you, Key. Please let me meet him" Edwin said.

"Better now you go home and don't ever expect me to let you meet Gempara." Keyla said without pity on Edwin.

"I'm Key's father, because of my biological son. You have no right to deny me meeting my own biological children" Steady Edwin did not want to leave before meeting his son.

"What did you say? Did I hear Edwin wrong? Because of that my son with Raka and I have the right to avoid anyone to meet Gempara including you Edwin" Keyla pointed to Edwin's chest.

"Hate that you are like me, until you take my misgivings from my son... You know Key, when I found out my son died it felt like my world was collapsing and I wanted to give up on living" Lirih Edwin began to tear up. Let him be stamped on the fragile man, edwin the man and he has feelings.

"But when I found out about my real son, I couldn't despair. What else when I see the smile Gempara, make me more excited to live life because I have a purpose" said Edwin then he held both hands Keyla.

"You may hate me, but don't separate me from Gempara" he continued.

Keyla was glued to Edwin's speech.

"Sorry Edwin, I can't keep you close to Gempara"

"Key why are you so selfish?" Ask Edwin.

"We're both selfish Edwin, remember that" pressed Keyla, reminding that they're just as selfish.

"Why should I apologize to you? So you can forgive me?" Tanya Edwin begins to frustrate with Keyla's egoism that does not want to forgive him and keep him away from his son. Edwin did not know what else to do so Keyla would forgive all his mistakes.

"Keohin Gempara and I'm sorry you" said Keyla.

"Will not, I will continue to fight for what should be the right of a father. And someday you'll realize what you're doing is wrong, Key." Edwin remained with his stance who wanted to earn his rights as a father.

"There's no need to wait a moment because I realize what I'm doing is wrong, but I don't care about Edwin. I want you to understand what I used to do." Keyla said he went inside the house and locked the door.

Edwin is silent, in fact Keyla is avenging his revenge for Edwin's egoism first. Edwin could not avoid, everything that happened to him now was the result of his mistake first. If time can be turned he chooses to trust Keyla more and eliminate the selfishness of him who wants to have both.

"Key, who was outside?" Raka asked as she knew who was just outside because she heard her voice.

"not nobody. Oh yeah, where's it?" Ask Keyla.

"Sleeping after taking the medicine" Raka replied.

"Raka, let's go back to kannada." Ask Keyla to return to her son's birthplace.

"Why all of a sudden, don't we want to celebrate Gempara's birthday first? Only then do we go to Kannada" said Raka did not understand. Though yesterday-yesterday Keyla said he wanted to celebrate Gempara's birthday first only after it returned.

"I changed my mind, we celebrated Gempara's birthday there. It must have been exciting like the year before, right" Keyla seemed to try to hide into his friendship with an enthusiastic smile.

"Key, is there something you're hiding from me?" Raka asked with a probing look.

Keyla breathed a rough breath, "Referably Edwin already know Gempara his son and he meant to meet Gempara" Honestly Keyla could not avoid because Raka would know.

"Look, Edwin is his father" said Raka, upsetting Keyla.

"I don't like Edwin's same old-fashioned shit" Kesal Keyla.

"Key, you can't be selfish. Let Gempara know who his father is" Raka's message read. He could feel the pain of being Edwin who was far from his son.

"Kok you say that Ka, you don't appreciate how I feel" Keyla said, beginning to shed tears. Why Raka defended Edwin from Keyla. Though he knows how Keyla feels about it.

"Not that key, try to imagine how painful it is to be Edwin. For years she never knew her son and when she found out you forbade her from seeing him." Terang Raka tried to make Keyla understand.

"That's a reply to him for hurting me." Keyla.

Raka held onto both of Keyla's shoulders, "I beg you to make peace with the rest of you before regretting. Do you want Edwin why were you sorry for him? Is that what you want?"

"I don't want to, but I can't forgive him. Everything she did was too painful for me" Keyla shed her tears slowly.

"It's not really edwin's fault, you're wrong, including me. I beg you not to punish Edwin for his mistake" Raka said, wiping Keyla's tears.

"I'd like to apologize to her, but I can't let her get close to Gempara because I'm afraid edwin took Gempara from me" Keyla expressed her fear. Keyla was afraid of losing Gempara if he let her meet Edwin, because gradually Edwin would have asked for custody to fall on her.

"Key, beat me up. Edwin could not have said it because he loved you and could not hurt you anymore by taking Gempara from you. I also know you still love Edwin, from the way you look at him. You are not just afraid of losing Gempara, but you are afraid of losing both" said Raka who made Keyla silent for a moment.

"You're wrong, now I love you" Keyla denied Raka's words. Indeed Keyla still has a taste in Edwin, but all that slowly Keyla eliminate.

"Don't lie to yourself key, I know you accept me for wanting to return my feelings. I'd rather let you go than live a life of falsehood" From the beginning Raka knew Keyla accepted it not because Keyla loved her, but simply to repay her kindness. As hard as Raka tries to make Keyla love him, it's useless if not her soul mate.

"Honestly I did accept you because I felt bad for you and chose to be in a relationship with you to return your feelings and kindness, but over time, I started to love you, Raka" Keyla said honestly and the reason he did not accept Raka's proposal at that time was because he was afraid to undergo marriage. Keyla is traumatized by marriage, but now Keyla realizes that if she continues to be shackled by her fears, she will not come forward to have a better future. Keyla believed in Raka, the guy couldn't possibly hurt her.

"Maybe my feelings for you haven't been as great as your feelings for me, but I want to keep the same with you forever. I choose you Raka to be my partner, I believe in you" Keyla continued.

"You're sure of what you said, I'm not key if you want to go back to Edwin. Rather than you lying to your own heart" Raka clasped her chest and was ready to let go of Keyla despite the pain. He would not hurt anyone because of his love.

Cup.

Keyla kisses Raka's lips for the first time in two years. Raka was silent with her heart beating fast.

"I'm serious" Keyla hugged Raka who was sculpting.
