Marcel's Promise

"Oh my God, I have two fathers." Marcel really did not expect this fact about him.

Marcel who although smart, but the young man still remains shocked and not fully digest this incident. It was hard to make himself believe that he had a father who had been away from him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, son." Alex looked at his worried son.

Aridha and Dion were confused as to how he was going to deal with all this. The two men were made to wonder with Alex's presence since when did it come.

"Sorry, let me in the room and try to think about this." Marcel immediately passed to his room without waiting for a response from Dion and everyone else, the room that Yasmin and Aksa had occupied.

Both Alex, Dion and Aridha were confused instantly. Silent. No one starts the conversation first. The three of them were swept away in each other's thoughts.

"Mas, here. Let's finish tonight, too. I don't want it until something's still up in the future." Aridha interrupted her husband. There are many things that make the woman uncomfortable and calm.

Aridha walked slowly towards the fixated Alex, leading her husband to sit down with Ridha.

"Sorry, Mr. Dion. I've known about my husband and Nora's past problems for now. After I know everything, I would like to apologize personally with Miss Nora after Nora recovers from her illness. From now on, will you be able to get closer to the Praja Bekti family? I mean closeness like a brother, not just a besan."

Aridha's statement, just managed to make Dion surprised instead of playing. He did not expect, Aridha will take such a big decision.

"We, oh I mean me and my husband, want to be able to approach Marcel inwardly. In any case, I want to atone for my past sins that have taken Alex from Nora's mistress. That's all, I did it because I thought there was no woman with my husband's flesh and blood. Tonight, I am honored to ask for brotherhood with Mr. Dion's family."

Alex is shocked. He did not expect at all, that his wife would have such thoughts. Alex thinks Aridha will be angry and will scold him all out, beat Alex, or maybe slit Alex's throat while at home later after knowing all the facts about Alex's past. Unfortunately, Aridha widened his heart and was willing to accept Marcel, thinking of Marcel as his own son.

"Tap, but...." Dion said while stammering.

"Please don't refuse my wish, sir. I want to make amends for all my sins and mine and Alex's."

"All right."

Tonight, an agreement has been reached to establish a relationship more than just besan. They accept each other, but not Marcel who is currently alone in his room.

The young man was so pitiful that he felt unwanted that he had to be born out of wedlock. However, Marcel did not want to be presented in such a situation.

What Marcel had in mind, why would his father let him? Why leave her and the mother who was pregnant at that time. Then, now they came and asked to be recognized as a family?

However, Marcel was never wanted by a man named Alex. And now, Marcel would do something similar.

"Marcel, aren't you asleep?" Dion opened Marcel's room door. Marcel still opened his eyes. Unexpectedly, Marcel seemed to not accept what Aridha had said just now. Dion could see and feel that.

"You haven't slept?" Dion asked again as he opened the door wide.

"Sleep, you don't mind too much."

Marcel was silent and did not answer. The man was thinking hard, to chimed in on his father's sensitive sentence for him.

"Dad."

"Yes?"

"If I had been in my mother's womb, and they had not accepted me, would I now have to accept them as my parents? Didn't they want me then? Isn't this the father who sacrificed a lot and accepted me and my mother for what she was?"

Marcel asked to find his father.

Dion looked at his son, stroking Marcel's cheeks gently. He looked at Alex's face. In the past, even Inora insisted on wanting to abort the content, namely Marcel.

Luckily, Dion arrives on time and Inora fails to realize her intentions. Not only that, even Dion vowed to take care of and consider Marcel like his own flesh and blood.

"Son, you are not unwanted by them first, but your existence, deliberately hidden by mother so that your mother does not deal with the Praja Bekti family. You don't know yet how dangerous the Praja Bekti family was in your mother's eyes. Your mother doesn't want to lose you. What your mother has in mind, Alex will take you for granted if she finds out that your mother is pregnant. Back then, even your father was already in love with his wife, Madame Aridha."

Dion kept silent and observed the look of a handsome face before him. Marcel also kept silent and observed what his father had said.

"Nobody doesn't want you. You are the jewel of our lives, oh no, even you are more precious than the rarest gemstone on earth. Unfortunately, what you think at that time, it turns out to be contrary to the nature of the Praja Bekti family. They're good people. In fact, they want to get close and get to know you. Don't judge them, if they knew at that time, that you were the son of Mr. Alex, they wouldn't have let your mother slip away."

Reveal Dion again.

"But dad, I'm confused as to how. I can't accept anyone else as my parents, while dad is the best for me, so is mom. It's not easy, having two fathers and two mothers, it's not fair to me" Marcel said.

"How can it be unfair? Not fair from where? Marcel, listen to me. Many children out there, who are very hungry for the love of father and mother, unfortunately fate is not on their side, by taking their father and mother in death. But look, God loves you, loves you very much. You even have two mothers, and two fathers who are ready to pour out affection for you. Isn't this really God's favor?"

"Yes, I'm right." Marcel confirmed.

"Marcel, don't be selfish. I don't want you on the wrong track, honey. Remember one thing, I just want you to accept them, open your heart to them, and not have their bad thoughts. They're good people. You just don't know them yet. I hope you'll be able to be father's proud son, before Yasmin. Even though you're not my biological son, not my flesh and blood, you're still in my heart. Between you and your sister, Yasmin, you're equal here."

Dion patted his chest a few times. Here, Marcel recognized the advantages of his father, Dion. Marcel promised, whatever Dion wants, Marcel will always try it without any opposition.
