Trying To Be Faithful

He's the one who came back

Washing your body with warm water in the morning is refreshing after a long rest for the night.

Raden walked into the closet to choose which clothes he would wear. Looking at the shirts one by one, take a suit for him to align with the shirt he chose. Match the tie after, see which watch he will wear, smell the perfume one by one so that his body smells a soft fresh fragrance.

Today after his hospital meeting, Raden will meet his heart. He couldn't bear to not apologize after yesterday morning's incident.

To tok tok

Raden turned his head towards the door, he asked who was knocking on the door in the morning like this.

"Lake in."

Raden resumed his activities wearing socks without looking at the door. As soon as the door opened, Raden's hand came to a halt.

Smell this?

Just by smelling the perfume Raden already knew who was coming. She immediately put on her socks perfectly and stood up straight away.

Sure enough, Azalea came. For a moment they stared at each other.

"What's this early you're here for?" ask Raden cynically.

Seeing the arrival of Azalea, there was a burning turmoil inside Raden's chest that was ready to burn his entire body. Angry, upset, and great emotions make Raden feel tremendous pain. It's just that, along with that, there's a little bit of happiness to see the woman he once loved, come.

Raden's eyes stopped at Azalea's chest, his bones clearly visible. Yes, Azalea looks skinny.

The woman walked closer.

"How are you, Pah?"

"That? Haha. It's funny you said that word."

Azalea smiled faintly. His smile was as sweet as ever. Nothing had changed, her face was still pretty, just the same when they first met. The fragrance is still the same, making it comfortable for people who are nearby.

"I came here because I miss the kids."

"Miss you said? Could it be, miss the child you threw away yourself just for the sake of another man?"

"We know exactly why it happened, right?"

Raden's mind seemed to be turned to the past. Azalea decided to leave home because of her uncle and aunt.

That night was the height of Azalea's anger after a long time she had so patiently endured the constant attacks from her family. Handi provides evidence that Azaleas were not loyal to Raden even from the first time they were married.

Photos, evidence of his chating are all plastered for real. They say that Airlangga is not Raden's biological child.

DNA test evidence they also pinned. Asroh and her husband were upset, and they drove out Azalea and Airlangga, and the child in her womb, Achtia.

Azalea who had high self-esteem, did not accept and immediately left. Raden pleaded but was not heeded.

A week later, Raden returned to Azalea at his home, but Raden was surprised to see Azalea hugging another man. The intention of wanting to return to bring the woman home, turned into anger. In his mind, the evidence that Handi gave.

At that time Raden, who was enveloped in emotion, immediately brought Airlangga without caring about the ban from Azalea.

"From now on I'm talking about three of you. Remember, do not bother the court for custody of children because the cheating mother is not worthy to take care of a son. Catch that!"

As soon as Azalea gave birth, Raden did not let Azalea breastfeed her child. He took their daughter away from her mother.

The love that has been poured out for Airlangga, making him close his eyes on the results of DNA tests.

Raden's hatred increased in the figure of Azalea. Despite knowing the two of them are not his children, Raden insists on taking care of him, or maybe Raden deliberately wants to separate the mother from his son as a medium of revenge for the pain he suffered.

Now, the woman stood before him after a long time of not seeing each other.

"Well, there's something I want to tell you."

Raden.

Azalea took out a white map. He gave it to Raden. The typical white map of the hospital has his family.

"I deliberately checked myself in the hospital that you run so that I wouldn't be mistaken for tricking you."

Raden reluctantly takes the map. Opened carelessly and ....

"W-what's this? w-why with you, Lea?"

Azalea cried so much. He sat down and rested at Raden's feet.

"Bah, I'm sorry. I came here to apologize for everything I ever did to you. For god's sake, Pah. I swear I never cheated. Yes, I am close to some male friends, but my body is only you have ever touched. I was still holy from another man's hand that time."

Raden.

"Come, we do a DNA test once again if you don't believe it? We prove that Tia and Airlangga are really our children."

"No matter if he's my son or not, to me they're still my son. I won't do any more tests on them. I'm sure they're my kids."

"Well, I was dumped by my husband when I found out I had cancer. He's afraid I'm spending his money."

"Then what made you come here? You want me to finance your treatment? No problem, you can get free treatment at my family's hospital. But, get out of here."

Azalea tried to wake up.

"Well, I don't know until when I have time. For the rest of my little life, I asked for your permission."

"What adultery?"

"Let me stay here for some time. I want to make amends to the kids. Let me give my love to them. I want to make some nice memories before death picks me up."

Raden just silently stared at Azalea who looked very desperate.

"Pah .. I went with ya set off sekol-"

Akhtia's voice disappeared as he entered Raden's room and saw someone standing there with his papa.

"Account ...."

The face of Achtia changed immediately. That pretty face turned into the face of a child filled with hatred. Without continuing his words, he turned around and walked quickly as Azalea consciously chased after him.

"Akhtia, wait, son. Shit on mom first, honey. Akhtija ...."

The girl ignored Azalea's call, begging her to listen.

When he opened the main door, Achtia very hard closed the door again. Azalea was afraid to see her daughter look so angry.

He could only stand still while crying as he pleased.

"I can't do anything about this. All decisions are in the hands of children. If they are willing, then I will allow you to stay here" Raden said as he passed away following his son.
