"How are you doing now, Nora?" Alex's shrill voice, greeting Inora's dim senses.
The woman is now reunited with Alex for the first time, after their meeting a few months ago, which caused Inora's mental illness to recur.
"Good." Inora answered with a sigh. The woman seemed unfocused on Alex, preferring instead to circulate her gaze throughout the room.
"You look healthier." Get Alex again.
"Yes." Yeah." Inora answered briefly. Inora is actually reluctant to see Alex because of Alex's own request. But the insistence of Dion, in fact able to make Inora inevitably, meet Alex and fulfill the request of Inora's past man.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for keeping you in a difficult time years ago." Reveal Alex later. Of course Inora was immediately interested in staring at Alex. The love that until now is still passionate for Alex, has been able to control Inora and suppressed.
"Don't reveal the past, Alex. Let it all be like this and walk according to destiny and path respectively. Don't remind me of the past and hurt." Tukas Inora later.
"But I'm still in a state of excessive guilt, Inora. If you're interested, may I ask?"
"Tell me. Isn't this the moment of your freedom to ask me a lot of questions? Just ask me what you want to ask." Inora.
"You, promise not to be mad at me." Alex Pinta. Hearing Alex's words, of course Inora
"Hmm." Inora just nodded and cleared her throat.
"Nora, why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy? About Marcel's presence then?" Ask Alex then.
Inora realized, this question would come out of Alex's mouth. Unmitigated, the man asked on target and was straight to the point.
"For what? Why would I tell you about Marcel's whereabouts, if in the end you still can't have me? If in the end you don't love me, and love other women more? If I end up just getting hurt?"
Mum. All Alex's bus did was silence and silence a thousand languages without being able to answer. Inora's question, of course, makes Alex as brain dead, unable to think fast.
"You were in love with Aridha's mistress at the time, Alex. If I tell you the truth about Marcel's whereabouts, will you be responsible for that? If responsibility maybe you can do it, it's just, I don't want to marry a man who doesn't love me at all. Up here I hope you understand. I'm a love-worshiping woman, Alex. With Dion, he changed my whole shapeless life. I was I was thinking realistically, I'd rather be loved than loved, but my mind died slowly."
Inora smiled bitterly, while turning her gaze towards the window. A romantic lunch tub, Alex entertains Inora at a hotel cafe. Surely he did, at the insistence of Rida, his wife.
"But if you tell me the truth, I might marry you and not hurt Rida any further. You know, she was hurt when she heard that there was another woman who gave birth to my son. What's more, that woman is you, my past lady."
"Your wife's pain isn't something that can make her die, Alex. You don't know what hell I went through after your departure. In fact, I was waiting for you when you donated your eyes to princess Praja Bekti."
Surprise Alex can't hide. He did not expect, Inora even knew about it.
"You, you know everything?"
Silence came back, letting Inora close her eyes permeate the many flavors that reigned in her heart. The woman was immersed in her own thinking, not allowing anyone to know the fate of her past with Marcel.
"How did you manage to accept Dion's proposal back then?" Ask Alex.
"He assured me that he could make me happy, considered and accepted Marcel as his own son, and was also willing to give his last name to Marcel. Dion Dinata, Marcel Dinata. I thought I was, things would get worse if I didn't marry Dion. What would happen if Marcel was born without a father? Plus, I was completely crazy and forgot to myself at that moment."
Inora chuckled softly then. The woman truly remembered how steadfast Dion was in convincing her that Dion was serious about accepting whatever Inora was.
"Thank you very much, Nora. Thank you so much for giving birth to Marcel, my son." Then Dion was revealed. The man was truly grateful, God still reunited him with his son, regardless of how great his fault was with Nora and Marcel.
"I didn't give birth to Marcel because of you, Alex. You know, when I knew I wouldn't be able to reach you, have you, I was I thought my world was ruined. I won't be able to get you because you never loved me. The reason is, it's me who loves you half-dead. Marcel's existence makes me determined, it's okay I don't have you, Marcel is part of you and your life, and that's enough for me." Answer Inora.
"Then you don't want to demand anything from me?" Ask Alex then.
"What's? what do I need to demand from you? I told you, just let it go like this. It's better for me too. Thank you, you're willing to give the boy a job. I hope he gets closer to you."
"You don't want to ask me anything more?" Ask Alex then.
"What do you want me to ask? The money? I don't need the money, Alex. I just need peace in my old days, take care of my grandchildren, and also take good care of my home and husband." Tandas Inora later. The woman was really happy with her life at the moment. So, there was nothing else he wanted, because he was surrounded by good people.
"No, I didn't offer you any money. Even your husband already owns a one percent stake in Adi Prama's company. One percent of the shares there, of course, the results are quite large if only for living expenses. It's just, I want you to ask me something."
Alex's sentence, unkempt, made Inora look fixed on the man. There was a sense of urgency in Inora's heart.
"What do you want me to ask of you? My life is enough and I have everything, so I don't want to ask you for anything more. Enough of the past, I hope this too is our last speaker." Firmly Inora then.
"You didn't ask me anything, all right, then I'll give something to Marcel, my son."
"Already, Alex. Don't offer much that we can achieve on our own. Just think of Ms. Aridha's feelings, I don't want to demand anything from you. All I want, I just want you to keep a good relationship with your own son. You know, if Marcel hates someone, it's gonna be very hard to get him back." Inora.
"But Marcel has to get it from me, Nora. Anyway, my two sons."
"It's up to you if so. The important thing is, I don't demand and want anything from you."
The second conversation, of course, did not escape Aridha's hearing. Let alone Inora, even Alex did not know that his wife was disguised as someone else at a table not far from her place and Inora sat down.
