The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Story on New Year's Eve

“Still unable to make peace with Anita?” hani asked as she sat on the front porch with Harry.

The two are watching Gaby, Jonathan and their friends play fireworks while waiting for the turn of the year which is only 45 minutes away.

“What on my face is the writing of an unhappy husband ?” Harry asked back with a laugh.

“So hard to forget Anna ? You just make him unsettled in nature there. Before she died Anna had accepted the fate that you were not her match so it is also time for you to accept Anita as your wife.”

“I accept my destiny and carry out the duties as a father to our children but to be a husband is a little difficult.”

“Stupid is in God's hands, what happens indicates that you are not a match with Anna.”

“Karma is talking to Anita. If Anna had to let go of me in Anita's trap, now Anita has to watch her daughter let Jonathan choose her daughter Anna as his love port.

As hard as Maya tries to make your child her soul mate, fate sets a different path.”

“I think it's all just a coincidence,” said Hani while laughing.

“Not everything in life happens by chance. What happened between the three of them allowed me to meet his daughter Anna. The way of God is indeed unexpected.”

“More than 25 years have passed and we are no longer young. Accept Anita as Maya's wife and mother to make your life happier. Gaby can feel your heartache but even if her face is so similar to Anna, she can't make you happy because she's not Anna. Happiness comes from within the heart and is created by ourselves.”

“Will I consider. In the meantime I want to enjoy my time with Gaby because I know that Hendri can't give her the love of a father,” Harry said with a laugh.

”There is already Jonathan who can give you the love Gaby needs.”

“I'll have Jonathan share a little chance for me,” Harry said with a chuckle.

In between his laughter, Harry's eyebrows winked as he watched Gaby move away with Jonathan. Although they can't hear what they're talking about, it feels good to see someone protecting Gaby.

“Why ?” Jonathan stroked Gaby's head.

“Happy,” Gaby looked up, Jonathan's hands outstretched, rubbing Gaby's cheeks that were getting wet.

“Happy to cry ?”

Gaby hugged Jonathan and leaned her head against the man's chest.

“Happy for today for the first time Gaby welcomed a new year like this after mom died. Happy because tonight is the celebration of the turn of our first year as husband and wife. Last year Mas Nathan started to accept me as a wife but not completely.”

Jonathan hugged with his right hand and kissed Gaby several times.

“From now on, I promise to always give you happiness, create wonderful memories in our lives and love you with all my body soul.”

“Romantis really, hell,” Gaby broke her arms while laughing.

“Newly know that I am a very romantic man ? Just wait for the surprises from me, I guarantee you will be moved until it is difficult to say.”

Gaby laughed and looked up at the sky which was starting to be filled with fireworks from various places.

“Happy new year, Honey,” whispered Jonatahan while kissing his wife's lips in front of a lot of people.

“Yes pardon Mr. Nathan, make me more heartbroken,” chirped Joni who accidentally saw the intimacy of the husband and wife.

“Let's pray that next year we can move on and find a new love, certainly a better one than Gaby,” said Doni while embracing Joni's shoulder.

“I support your expectations,” insists Jonathan. “Awas aja if it got better, you guys still bother my wife !”

“Injuries in action, Bro !” ledek Kendra's.

Joni and Doni stared at each other and nodded their heads making the others laugh then looked up at the sky filled with fireworks while saying prayers of hope in their hearts.

Meanwhile in the hospital, mommy Anita is still fidgeting back and forth in front of the IGD room. Maya just sits there trying to get in touch with Martin, daddy Harry and Leo. Maya tried to contact Jonathan but it looks like the man has already blocked his number.

“No one answered your call ?” Maya shakes.

Mommy Anita checks her phone and a message comes in from dad Harry's assistant telling her that the boss is not in the apartment.

Not long after the doctor came out to report that Gavra had an infection in the digestive tract and needed to be treated tonight . Without asking for Maya's approval, mommy immediately agreed and took care of the administration of the room.

“Do not until you regret having wasted your own son. If Gavra can choose, mommy is sure she doesn't want to be born to a woman who refuses to recognize her as a child. Don't be a coward ! Gavra is just a fruit that you have to pick as a result of your own actions !”

Maya just shut up and followed mommy to the PICU room. Doctors decided it would be best if the baby was treated there until the fever dropped and could drink milk as usual again.

Maya is allowed to enter for a moment. His outstretched hand touched the fingers of his weakly lying son with an infusion hose in his hand.

Several times Maya sighed, remembering the doctor's request in front of the ER room.

“It would be helpful if mom is willing to give her ASI directly from the source.”

The words of the doctor and mama alternately disturbed Maya's mind, making her little heart slightly disturbed.

“Gavra taken to hospital.”

Leo only looked at his best friend and brother-in-law with a flat face and a bitter smile.

“It is better that elo soon meet them there,” Leo said with a flat face.

Martin breathed. The two were spending time at a cafe in a hotel near Leo's residence. The man himself remains under police surveillance.

”Elo do not want to come ? Let's see how you two are still Gavra's parents. Or elo change his mind because Gavra is not your biological child?”

Leo smiled bitterly and gulped down the drinks he ordered.

“Elo knew how deep my love for Maya was until I was willing to go through all this to avenge her heartache on that Jojo. But elo see for yourself if my actions are wrong and instead of making Maya become better even worse because he himself does not want to admit his son.”

“Until this second, me and daddy still believe that only Elo can make Maya change.”

“Let time do the talking and I will patiently wait. I'll wait for Maya to come alone to see me without being told to elo, daddy or mommy. Although at that time he could not love me wholeheartedly but his courage to meet me is a sign that he will learn to change.”

“Gue support any decision elo, Bro,” Martin said as he raised his glass.

“Happy New Year !”
