“No, Son. It's not him who

hiding your wife,” Holland shook his head slowly, “but Daddy”

Hearing that was an instant Ellard

froze. He lowered his weapon and turned his head quickly, looking at Holland with

sorot can't believe it. And when Ellard was off guard, unbeknownst to him— Blake

sneak up, stand right behind him.

“A-what? Daddy who did—“

Not until it's done, body

Ellard collapses when Blake lands an injection

his arm. Ellard looked at Blake furiously before those eyes closed.

Ellards

opening the door to his father's office was rude. Holland is checking on a

the documents distract him, staring at the shrouded Ellard

fury. His son had just come to the senses from the dope he had been giving since

last time for two days Ellard was accidentally left asleep. In order to prevent

terrible thing his son was going to do.

“No

can you knock on the door first?”

BRAKKS

Scattering

hard it did not make Holland with a surprised look— even he stared

his son with a very relaxed look. Glasses perched in noses

the trigger was released immediately.

“Where

Ara?” low, he asked with great emphasis. His gaze shone sharply, while

his jaw was hardened with emotion. How dare this old man drugged himself in the middle

eternal search for his missing wife.

Already

two days his Ara disappeared without a trace. All the ways he has done to

looking for the whereabouts of his wife but the results are nil. He almost forgot the facts

that his father was also the most cruel figure in his youth. Hiding Ara

it's not something that's difficult for him.

“Say, ,

where did daddy hide it?” once again Ellard asked

grinding teeth.

“I

not concealed. He himself wants it.” Holland's Refutation

“Daddy

must have told him to leave me, right? HUH?”

 Holland breathed out softly. He rises, he,

walk around the table and stand right in front of Ellard. “I never

told him to do that. He wanted to leave, and I succeeded

stopped.”

Ellards

not saying, but his gaze still sharpens— demanding more explanation.

“Ara…

actually he's not okay. He was hurt by the marriage

both of you. He decided to leave on the grounds he couldn't live one

the roof with you. Even if agreeing to your marriage is the decision. Day

there she cried and begged daddy to let her go-“

“Dan

daddy agreed to it?” point out Ellard's sideways, her knuckles

whitened.

“Then

what am I supposed to do? While on the other hand, Clarissa also contains

your son and almost crazy 'cause you refused to marry him! Even left it

just like that at altar”

Telak.

Holland's words are very piercing.

“Ara

will continue to be hurt with Clarissa in your midst. Ought

you're grateful that Daddy hid it— instead of going with people

other.”

Ellards

smile obliquely, “Then now return my wife. I'm the one who will

solve all problems between us”

“No,

Son's. Before you can prove that Clarissa's child

not yours”

Ellards

speechless. But his hands were clenched with trembling bodies. How should he

prove if the child contained Clarissa is indeed flesh blood. Weeks

then he secretly told the doctor to do a DNA test in secret

clarissa's content, and the results showed the child was indeed shown to be blood

his flesh. What else to prove? This is the end of his story with

the woman he loved so much? The woman he fought for, he fought for,

and now finally choosing to leave? Because of his stupid mistakes.

“Married

Clarissa. She was also dying El. He even prefers

defending your baby from his own safety. His life is not long

again.” Holland stared wistfully at the pale face of his son “about Ara, daddy will

make sure he'll stay okay. Daddy's gonna make sure he doesn't

go further. As long as you want to be patient wait until the child is conceived

Clarissa was born and the girl left quietly. Don't impose your will,”

Her father

right, the relationship between her and Ara will never go smoothly

as long as there is Clarissa. But why did Ara have to leave while she was

he really needed that woman to be by his side. Midstress

the one he was facing right now, he desperately needed his Ara to comfort and

giving strength. Ellard couldn't accept that. I think it's

many times more painful.

Instantaneously

ellard's body highlighted fall— battered on the floor. He crawled— hugged the second

father's feet. This was the second destruction for him after the death of his mother.

His body trembled with tears flowing down his cheeks.

Holland

the one who saw it threw his face away from Ellard. Can't stand watching

directly the injured gaze of his son was merely his puppet. He has no choice

other than this.

“Restore

My, Dad. I can't if without him.. give him back Dad... give him back..”.

****

Temporal

it was in a room, Ara's tears kept dripping as she was now

staring at a portrait of himself with Ellard. Actually, he's going to go together

with Leo, but his father-in-law already knew and caught him

and bring himself to this place. As per his request, Holland brought him

he lives near the Vatican Church in Rome. He chose a place

this, because here he can feel the calm by helping the

nuns in the Church and teaching the little ones there.

“What

you okay?” Sister Anna, the pulmonary lady came with a glass of milk

Hamil Ara in her hands.

Ara

you came”

Sisters

Anna smiled then handed the milk “Minum. While it's still warm.

You need to consume a lot of nutrients to stay healthy for your prospective child”

“Thanks,

Sister” Ara sipped her drink straight up.

“What

do you feel at home in this place?” sister Anna asked after Ara put down the glass

empty on the nightstand

“Sure

just sister. Here very soothing” Ara smiling happily

“Thank God

then.” Sister Anna rubbing soft brown mane Ara “Then how

with your relationship with your husband? Not forever you will hide

continues from him? You are still his wife—more now you are

also pregnant with her child,” tanya full of caution. Ara is already

told all her problems to this nun leader.

Smile

what originally expanded it, slowly faded.

“For

now I don't know sister. Right now I just want to be with my son—

get as far away from him as possible. They are now married anyway. No

there's a reason for me to stay there,” Og Ara with teary eyes.

“Ara—“

“Enough

I'm the one who got hurt. Not son. Ellard can live without me.” Sela Ara seraya's

shaking weak “he will be happy with Clarissa and their child

sisi”

 Sister Anna doesn't say anymore. He took

ara's hand then stroked her with tenderness like a mother

he gave his daughter peace.

“Alright,

stay here for as long as you want. We're all very happy too

with your presence, let alone those kids.they really like you” Sister said

Anna while wiping Ara's tears. “iya. You deserve to be happy— together with

your son's in this place,”

“Thanks

many sisters,” Ara dropped herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman

that every single one of his words managed to give peace to his middle soul

languished.

Seven months

then

Ellards

walking hastily through the seven rooms of Inap Clarissa. The look on his face was radiating

such a serious anxiety. A few hours ago he was in charge of a meeting and

he had to be left because of a call from his father who said that

Clarissa critical.

Ellards

he enters Clarissa's room and finds Clarissa screaming in pain

held by two nurses to calm him down. That woman is new

just gave birth to their child.a baby

pretty girls.

Di

in that room there were not only doctors and nurses, but there were also both

clarissa's parents, Oma and Holland. The sadness was clearly mapped on the face

them. Especially Diana, who had not stopped crying— watched

the critical state of his daughter.

Ellards

approaching Clarissa, and two nurses who hold and the doctor

move immediately. Ellard takes over and takes Clarissa into his arms.

“Sick..”

clarissa sobbed. His face was red and sweat was pouring down his face.

“Tenace..”.

Ellard stroked Clarissa's hair and kissed the top of her head. “why you

would you rather keep our son than your own life?” ask Ellard

staring intensely at Clarissa

Clarissa

opening his closed eyes— looked up at Ellard with his neutrality

which flushes.

“Not

because our child is ready to be

beside me for seven months?” Clarissa spoke in a tone

intermittent “Even without any wedding ties,”

“Cla..”.

Clarissa

breathing in long breaths. His grip on Ellard grew stronger.

“No

need to feel guilty. For several months they can be close together and

being noticed by you alone, has made me very happy, at least my dream.

to live with you has already materialized. I'm happy..”

Clarissa

closed his eyes, grimacing as the waves of pain grew stronger and stronger.

After being able to cope enough, he opened his eyes again.

“Promise…

you will care for and love our daughter until anytime. Never do not

leaving it..,”

Ellards

nodding weakly, “I'll love our daughter Cla. Thank you for your sacrifice.”

Ellards

kiss Clarissa's forehead sincerely.

“Ellard…,

my sacrifice is not comparable to Ara's. He sacrificed more, repeatedly.

I always try to take you away from him to make use of the middle you

get drunk and do the dirtiest thing so I can have you completely.

that is, if one day our daughter asks who her mother is.

that is Ara. I want Ara to be her mother. Please say my apologies

to her... forgive me..” Clarissa cries bitter tears of regret.

Ellards

he hugged Clarissa. He closed his eyes listening

all Clarissa's confessions. His chest up and down held back anger and was disappointed in

himself.

“All

it's happened, you don't have to regret it anymore,”

“I love you..”.

Sentences

this is the last sentence Clarissa said before the electrocardiogram device displayed the line

straightest. Clarissa's hand held off, followed by her closed eyes

forever more…
