Who is My Real Husband?

58. Dave's Last Day

Rayan has been much better after one week in intensive care in the hospital. There's no day without asking Dave who's been seeing him. Without being told, everyone knew what punishment Dave would get.

"You want to, don't you, stay with Mom? Consider this mother your mother too. You and Rinjani are the same. Same mother's son. Even though you were born from the same womb. We can be together to take care of each other." Ms. Niken feeds breakfast to the young man she considers to be a child. Although this child was the result of a wrong relationship, he realized wholeheartedly that this mistake was the absolute fault of his parents, not Rayan.

"I'll trouble you."

"No dong. Ma'am so there's a friend if you stay with us. How about we start all over. Those who have passed do not discuss let alone remembered. We are family." With warmth Rinjani hugged Rayan who was getting thinner.

"I really want to meet Dave. I knew this meeting would be the last time. Please let me see him." Rayan relentlessly seeks approval from them to meet Dave. Despite the rejection he always heard, he never gave up asking.

"Cheal first, you'll try."

Not long after, Raga came for the first time. He who started busy working only came occasionally and never met Rayan in a conscious state. The young man who was sitting on the bed with an infusion hose in his hand immediately threw away his face as Raga walked towards him.

"How are you doing, Rayan? When can I go home?"

"Not to be so caring. I hate it, brother. I'm satisfied, right, now? I'm satisfied to have lost Brother Dave. Raga knows what Dave's brother will get if he gets caught by the police. But even Raga brought him to them. Know that I don't want to be told by Brother Dave to take care of Brother," murmured Rayan emotion.

"Rayan, Dave killed your father because he demanded justice, you hated your father too because you couldn't get justice. You're siding with Dave because he's the only person you've got, even you're siding with your own father's killer because there's a reason. If you and Dave demand justice for what you've received, then Dave's victims and I will do the same. Demanding justice. I know, Dave's good. Exceptionally well. But you also have to understand that all the actions we do will have consequences. That's why Dave never allowed you to be like him. Because your story will be the same as Dave if you follow in his footsteps. It's okay you don't understand now, gradually you'll understand why I'm doing this. Never think that after this you will be alone. There's Mom, there's Mrs Rinjani, there's me, you've got family. We are born of different blood, I, you, Rinjani, have no relationship, but we can be a family, we are reunited with God as a family. Dave left you not without the people who will take care of you. There we are, Jim will always be there for you. Now Mr. Jim's priority after the family is you, not Dave. If you're why we and Mr. Jim will be so hard."

The raga walked closer. He stroked the child's head slowly. Staying long enough with Rayan made him understand that the young man could not be told out loud.

"Dave left you with us. Trust me, we'll take care of you just as Dave takes care of you. You can be spoiled with us. We're not anyone else, we're your family." Raga then brought the boy's head into his arms. There was no rejection, which happened just Rayan back crying as much as he was starting to believe that he was not alone.

Two months later, Rinjani has to go through a period of pain alone without her husband. The time that should have been a time of enjoying pain with her husband now she had to pass only with her mother and sister. After going through a full day of enduring the tremendous pain finally came the sound of baby crying that moved all the mothers in this world.

"Beautiful, but her face is like Dave's sister." Rayan put on a gloomy face. For two months he was separated from his brother and was not allowed to meet once.

One week after Rinjani's son was born, for the first time Raga came into custody to meet Dave. He secretly came there without anyone's knowledge. He came to show her that her little daughter was born safe, beautiful, and healthy.

"Why did you come here?"

"You're mad at me?"

"For what? I just don't want to see anyone."

"I came here to show you something. Before that, I want to apologize for bringing you here. You're..."

"Don't talk stale. I really don't care about my own life, Raga. I never regretted that I was put to death. My ideals have been fulfilled. I trust Rayan to you. Is my son born? From the calculations I remember, he should have been with his mother."

"You calm down, Rayan is fine. I managed to make him live as usual even though sometimes he still cries you." Raga reached into her pocket and took out a 2R photo.

"Your son! You cheated Dave. You didn't give Rinjani the chance to inherit her tiny face at all. You're all good at."

Dave grabbed the photo and held back his tears. She did not think her son was so similar to her. Warmly he kissed the photo with tears. The sight made Raga also shed her tears.

"You once said that me or Rinjani if you don't want to take care of him we can give it to Mr. Jim. Sorry, Dave. Looks like me and Rinjani alone will take good care of her. Rayan will also be quick to rise if this little angel is around."

"thank you. The thing I never thought of was seeing my son even if not in person. I also want to leave something for Rinjani and Rayan. Please give it to me after I'm executed. Give it tomorrow night. Don't tell people that I'm going to be executed tomorrow. I forbid the police to tell. I don't want them to come and cry for me." Dave gave me two pieces of paper.

"Tomorrow were you executed?"

"Yes. I don't think there's any more message I need to give you. You already know everything. I can go quietly. Thank you for the gift you gave me. I'll bring it tomorrow. Go, Raga. I want to enjoy my last day seeing my angel that I left behind."

"Goodbye Dave. You're evil, but you I won't forget as the evil man who took my heart."
