Relapsing

"Mas, how's this? I don't want to see Alex and his wife. Oh my God, why did you decide without talking to me?" Inora protested against Dion who was grumbling from before on the way.

Now, the arrival of Dion and Inora is being awaited by Aridha and Alex. Although before leaving earlier, both Alex and Aridha were involved in a coercive drama that ended Alex had to give up. Undeniably, Aridha was very disappointed with Alex. But even so, Aridha did not want to be happy alone, while there was Inora and her son who suffered.

If Aridha had known long ago.

"Solve your past problems. Don't hide it anymore and don't hide it. Remember, honey. Twenty years have passed. You don't have to hide everything. Marcel must also know why he was hidden for twenty years from the public."

Inora threw away her face. The journey that feels fast for Inora, makes him inevitably have to be ready to face Alex.

The vibe of his love never faded one bit. His longing also grew even more stirring every time he was greeted by Alex. But Inora does not want to be a destroyer of other people's households. Alex has found his true love.

Let it be, Inora does not mind even if she has to be sad because of loving a man who does not love her until the end of life. Inora will be with Dion alone who loves her and accepts her for who she is.

Arriving Inora and Dion in a classy cafe with a VVIP room, Inora has resigned, if the facts she has hidden all this time, must be opened.

"Good night, Mr. Dion, Miss Nora. Nice to meet you, we still thank you for being willing to fulfill our invitation." Aridha welcomes the arrival of Dion and Inora who seem tense.

In his place, Alex is very uncomfortable with this situation. Somehow, he was eager to prostrate himself at Inora's feet for having sinned against the woman of his past, and also Marcel, their son.

"Thank you." Dion led Inora to sit down. No talks after that, in a minute. Awkward and silent, clearly makes them uncomfortable actually.

"Speak, mas. Tell me what you want to say. Ask what you want to ask Miss Inora."

Alex looked at his wife for a while, before staring at Inora with mixed feelings.

"Nora, I'm sorry." That's just Alex's phrase. The man did not seem to have many words to speak, but had a myriad of questions in his heart.

"For what?" Inora looked at Alex and Aridha alternately.

"Really, Marcel's my son?"

It's been the feeling of Inora. But Inora doesn't want to just like that.

"No. Marcel was my son alone, until a man came willing to be Marcel's father. So from then on, Marcel my son with Dion."

"Why don't you just say it, Nora? Why don't you just be honest with me? I'm his biological father. Why is it that ever since you found out you were pregnant with Marcel, you didn't ask me to take responsibility?"

"I don't want to end up dying in vain at the hands of the Praja Bekti family. I don't want to snatch the future husband of princess Praja Bekti. That's why I refused to look for you. I hope you don't forget your language when you take me for granted, after you take everything away from me."

Aridha was surprised not to play. Apparently, he was the reason behind the retreat and the disappearance of Inora.

"So you judge the Praja Bekti family?" asked Aridha not understanding.

"What else, madam? I am a poor woman who values a son of Atmadja. If Alex hadn't chosen you, I might have pursued her for a little responsibility."

"But I'm not gonna let another woman jump in the loop for the sake of......"

"Already, madam. Everything has passed and there is nothing more to explain. Leave it like this. Please don't bother me and Marcel. You guys should be happy with Hesti. And me, let me be happy with my little family. It's all gonna be okay. I'm not gonna sue for anything. Having Dion in my life is a bright gem even though Dion only works as an ordinary employee."

Clasping her husband's hand, Inora again said, "It is with this hand that I can live to raise Marcel. It's his affection that's keeping me well from depression, Alex. Sorry to you too, Miss Aridha. I don't intend or have an obsession with having Alex. I just want to be happy without ruining your love. So please, don't bother me. Let's just say Marcel is not my son, but my son with Alex."

"How could that be, Miss Inora. Marcel also had the right to overflow his father's affection." Aridha gave her wish.

"Love? Love with what?" Inora looked at Ridha.

"Alex should bear all the needs of Mar....."

"I guessed it." Inora suddenly dared to fight Aridha. the woman stood up suddenly to make the chair that was occupied, retreating to create a squeaking sound.

"This talk, it only boils down to money. I think you would be wiser like Mr. Radhi Praja Bekti. Unfortunately, you judge things very superficially. Money is limited to me, but I'm sorry, Dion and I don't need a dime just to support and raise Marcel. Excuse um. Good night."

At that moment, the cry that Inora had been enduring, broke instantly. The woman's steps were stifled. Dion, who realized Inora was not okay, immediately got up and half ran after Inora.

That made Aridha and Alex stand up.

Not yet able to step Inora towards the door, Inora laughed satisfied with the poignant look in her eyes. Undoubtedly, Inora's old depression that never relapsed, today relapses as well.
