There's Only You
CHAPTER 8 - Our Relationship Is Over!!
And Arifin just wants to live happily with his beloved wife. Even if he knows, that their relationship started with a mistake.
"I don't want to talk about Pa's past. Because from my point of view, infidelity is still wrong. There is still a heart that is hurt because of this. And in this case, the person you hurt is Mama. The woman who gave birth to me.
But I still can't hate Papa. Because after all, Papa is still my parents. But not for Aunt Mauli. Because to me, he's still the third person to destroy my parents' household. I don't hate him. But I can't think of her as my mother either. I'm sorry" Aurora said firmly and honestly.
Actually he felt bad about having to say something like this, because he knew that his father loved his wife very much.
But he also loved his mother very much.
And she was very grateful, because her mother freed her to meet her Papa whenever she wanted. And he thinks that's enough.
"Yes, Papa understands your feelings. You still want to open your heart and never hate Papa alone, has made Papa very happy. Because you're the only daughter Papa has. Very dear Papa" Arifin smiled faintly at Aurora's decision.
Although the child's words did not completely make him feel satisfied. Because honestly, he also wants to see his beloved son and wife can be familiar like his own mother and son.
But he could not force his will either. Because she knew that Aurora loved her mother very much. And she didn't want to be away from her only daughter. He would do anything to maintain his relationship with Aurora. The only daughter he had.
He married Mauli about 11 years ago. And he could not get any offspring from that woman. Because his wife had a miscarriage due to an accident, to make her uterus had to be removed.
Although he could not give him offspring, but his love for his wife still could not be reduced. Therefore, Aurora is the only child that Arifin has, as a focus of love and affection.
"Oh yeah, isn't Papa's birthday tomorrow?" Aurora asked to divert the conversation.
"Yes dear. You never forget, Papa's birthday?" Arifin smiles haru.
"Of course, how could I possibly forget the birthday of the person I care about so much" Aurora replied cheerfully.
"Thank you, baby. Oh yes, tomorrow night you come, Papa's birthday. You are the first person Papa could ever hope for. Without you, the event would be nothing to Papa" Arifin said expectantly.
"Yes Pa. Papa take it easy, I'm definitely coming. How could I have been absent from my parents' important ways"
"If your mom wants to come, you can take her. You know, until now Papa still hopes to make peace with him for your sake. Even if.... We can't be together anymore"
Arifin's words made Aurora's face look again grim. Because he was sure, if his mother would never come to that event.
"I don't think Mama will want to come with Pa. But Papa take it easy, even though Mama is not there, but I will still be present" Aurora said softly. She tried to show her sweetest smile to comfort her Papa.
"Papa was very happy to hear that. The most important thing is.... Papa's beloved Princess is in Papa's most important moment"
"Yes, Papa has a dinner date with a friend. You want Papa to take her?"
"No need Pa. I'll take the car. If you take Papa, how will my car be?"
"Oh yes, then. Be careful, baby"
"Okay Pa's. See you"

After taking off her Papa with a bright feeling, Aurora headed for her parked car. His father had told his driver to take his car from the parking lot of the restaurant's parking lot. So that he doesn't have to go back.
"Honey" A sturdy hand belonging to a man held his arm, as Aurora opened her car door. He turned around and saw the owner of the hand, which was none other than Gibran. The person he currently hated to meet! The one who broke her heart!
"Take me off!!" Aurora pulled her hand violently, until she missed her ex-fiance's hand.
"Why are you again?! Didn't we break up?! And I've lost it to you too? Don't ever see me again. Because I no longer want any business with you!!" Aurora cried with rage. Seeing the man's face made his heart again feel pain, because it remembered the incident in the apartment the other day.
"I'm glad I know I was wrong. I'm really sorry. I did it all because I was a khilaf. Please give me one more chance. I promise I will never repeat it again" Gibran said in a clear voice.
"The Khilaf? Lying to me under the pretext of being sick, while having fun with other women in the room you said khilaf?! I don't even know if it's the first woman, or the umpteenth time you've slept with! I've said it many times, right? I hate betrayal and infidelity so much! Whether you want to be happy or not, I don't care. My answer remains the same. Our relationship has broken!"
Aurora turned around to get into her car. But again Gibran blocked his wrist.
"Darling wait a minute. I know I was wrong. I have betrayed you. But one thing you have to know, for me women are just toys. Only partners in bed. I just need them to satisfy my desires.
The rest means nothing to me. Because all I have in my heart is you. Had you never turned down the times I had sex with you, maybe none of this would have happened"
Aurora grew increasingly inflamed at Gibran's self-defense, which she blamed for never wanting to satisfy her intimately.
"Because I am not a cheap woman who can easily throw my body at a man who has not been bound by marriage with me! Because I'm not one of those women who adventures with you in bed! I still have my pride and honor!
If you feel troubled about it, then why do you still want to maintain a relationship that does not meet your expectations?! And I have given you the right and freedom to continue your adventures with these women! And I've ended our relationship!!" Aurora raised her voice octave so emotionally.
"Darling wait a minute. I promise I'll never do anything like that again. I will be faithful to you and our love. I promise I will never betray you again. I beg you" Gibran said in an earnest-sounding voice.
