The Shackles of Second Love
29
“Do you sleep with her?”
“Ya,”
“You also did that while in this mansion?”
“True, we did it while you were asleep.”
Without feeling his tears returned to his eyes as he recalled his conversation with Hartono on the night of their quarrel. The man, her husband, the one whom she trusted, and was her first love, had dared to fornicate behind her.
Not only did he feed off his love, the man also broke the sacred promise of their marriage that both had believed in for years. Hartono destroyed everything from trust to love in an instant.
Now Sharon even becomes very tormented by knowing the fact that her husband also made their palace as one of the places for the adultery of the man with Mia.
He felt he would no longer be able to stay in this mansion. All the precious memories he had built with his husband and son were destroyed by Hartono's own foul behavior.
“Bu, it's me!”
Fabian's voice came from outside his room, calling out to the mother who did not leave the room after many days.
“Can I log in?” Fabian asked.
The man was clearly worried about his mother's condition. Not to mention that he did not see his father anywhere, making the assumption that his parents were fighting stronger.
Sharon wiped away the tears without power, she answered Fabian's call and told her son to come in.
Fabian then went in and approached Sharon who was currently still sitting pensively on her bed.
The man watched his mother's face look pale while both eyes were swollen, making Fabian assume that his mother had just finished crying.
“Why, Mom? Is mom sick?” Fabian asked after sitting himself next to Sharon.
Sharon nodded in agreement, not wanting to hide anything in front of her son.
“A sick mother's heart, my son.” the woman's answer successfully made Fabian surprised.
“What's really going on? Who hurt mom's feelings?” ask the man.
Sharon fell silent as she held back herself who came back wanting to shed her tears. But Sharon did not want her son to see how fragile and broken he was.
“Your father has cheated.” replied Sharon quietly.
Fabian felt that someone was hitting his chest hard when he heard his mother's words. Both of his eyes widened as anger spread that infiltrated his chest cavity.
“She cheated with the woman who yesterday became a part of us.”
“Fucking woman! The bitch—”
Sharon again felt a tightness in her chest considering how Mia's innocent face managed to pull her heart out. It turns out that there is a rottenness behind the beautiful and innocent face of the woman.
Really, Fabian could not hide his surprise at hearing his mother's words.
How could her father have cheated on her with Mia and since when? It really surprised him. Even in his dreams Fabian never imagined it at all.
Upon hearing that his father had cheated on him, Fabian instantly lost respect for the man. But when he found out who his father was having an affair with, in addition to the lost respect, he also hated the man.
Because in addition to cheating, his father had also deceived them.it was a series of mistakes that he could not possibly forgive.
Looking at his silenced son, Sharon then reached into Fabian's hand and grasped it.
“My son, I really hope you don't follow in the footsteps of your father.” Sharon said trying to remind Fabian.
“I can't do that, Mom. I really love Laura.” replied Fabian with confidence.
The woman wears her thin smile, “You know son? Your father used to be like that. She said she loved me so much as the only woman in her heart.”
“Only one can prevent man from doing so, namely fear of his God.”
Fabian fell silent listening to all the words of his mother that seemed to shake his heart.
“Fabian, inculcate all the pain that your mother has in your mind.so that later this pain becomes a reminder for you when boredom begins to approach your household with Laura.”

Mia stared at the nanar on the test pack with the positive symbol listed in it. It turned out that his conjecture over all the oddities felt in his body was indeed correct.
She was pregnant, and this was the result of her actions with Hartono. The seed she was carrying belonged to the man, the man she loved to this day.
Mia grabbed her hair in frustration, why she had to be pregnant when they were no longer together. In addition, now he is undergoing a theatrical marriage with Haru.
What would the man think if he knew he was pregnant? And what Nana would think was the news, while her marriage to Haru had not even reached the third week.
“What should I say to Haru?” mia asked while touching her stomach.
Although the relationship with Hartono has ended, but there is not a single shred of Mia's desire to get rid of the fetus in the womb. Because this fetus is proof of his love with Hartono.
“Whatever the conditions, I have to tell Haru.” this
Regarding how the man's decision will be, Mia will accept with a chest of air.
“How long was it?”
Mia was surprised when she opened the bathroom door, and Haru was waiting for her to return from the bathroom.
“You're okay right?”
“I've noticed your face is pale lately.”
Mia looked at Haru who looked anxious, so she felt guilty for making the man worry.
“Mia—”
“I'm pregnant, Haru.”
A sudden silence was created between them, Mia was speechless with her unreasonable feelings. While Haru himself was confused and surprised to hear the news that his wife pretended to be pregnant.
Mia took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly.
“If you want us to end all this, I don't matter.” Mia said.
He only assumed that Haru would not be willing to continue their charade because of her pregnancy.
“I was really surprised when I heard it.” Haru responds for the first time after Mia gives news of her pregnancy.
“But it's okay, Mia. We can try to be a good parent for the baby in your womb.” Haru said while commenting on his smile.
Both of Mia's eyes were opened. Though he had thought that Haru would cancel their contract marriage, but what did the man do?
“What's your response?” Mia asked while looking at Haru.
“I'm pregnant with someone else's child, Haru. Don't you have a problem with that?” asked Mia again with a slight raise in her tone.
Haru again showed off his smile, he then gently pulled Mia's arm and invited the woman to sit on the sofa.
“I'm really okay, Mia.” replied Haru making Mia even more clueless with the man.
“I will take care of your child like a father.”
“I have no problem with all that.as long as you stay here with my mother, then I also do not mind thinking of your son as my son too.”
