Wife Custody (Second Love)

Hanungs

I know it's not gonna be easy. Convincing a Julie is difficult, because she always considers everything carefully. His research instincts are very strong, and he uses them in every way. Including matters of the heart.

I'm sure very well, he must have thought that if marrying me meant betraying Keanu. I understand his way of thinking, and to me it is natural. I'm the only one who's been 8 years old, sometimes still feel that way. My ex-wife, Diana, got married 5 years ago. Every time I met another woman, I asked myself, did I betray my love for Diana? How do my kids feel about me getting married again?

It's all I feel because... Okay, I have to admit that I love Diana very much. Even to this day. After all, she is the mother of my children. No woman can replace him. Then I understand what Julie is feeling right now. I'm the living witness to how strong Keanu and Julie's love is. How much Keanu loved Julie, and how much Julie loved my best friend.

Keanu and Julie separated not because of a divorce full of wounds as I felt. But because of death, which separated them when they were at the height of happiness. I understand very well that Julie still loves Keanu very much. It was only six months since Keanu's death that Julie had not been able to replace Keanu in her heart with the presence of others. With presence. Who am I, Keanu's only friend since High School, who later also became a friend to all members of his family. Including Julie.

However, this trust still has to be fulfilled. I decided to try and open my heart to Julie. Even though I'm not sure I can do well, at least I try and keep my best friend's promise. Keanu has been so kind to me, I owe him. If at that time he did not accompany me and help me rise after my divorce with Diana, maybe now I am no longer in the world.

Keanu also helped me in my work, so my ability was honed and promoted in a relatively short time. Even until the end of his life, Keanu still had time to drain his help. He recommended me to replace him in the position of IT manager - previously I was head of IT operations division. I was the only person he trusted to replace him. I feel very lucky.

This is the only help I can give to repay Keanu's kindness. By looking after his wife and children.

"Let me return the favor of what Keanu has done to me all this time, Jul. I want to marry you, Julie Sandara. Please, let me be the new captain. For you and your children."

I saw Julie crying without a sound. He kept his head down, trying to hide it from me. I touched her shoulder, then patted her slowly. The kids I've been working with before - I told you they're asleep, when they're in the kitchen near the living room, thankfully Julie's daydreaming, so it's not caught - out of hiding. They approached Julie and hugged her tightly.

"Mommy wants to? We want to accept Hanung's father as our father. Papi won't be replaced, Mum. Papi is in our hearts forever" Renata said. Darrel. Without feeling, it was my tears that fell. It's hard, but I love them. And I have to take care of them.

Finally Julie raised her face. He looked at his two children in turn.

"You promised Mami, Brother and Sister always have to doain Papi."

They hugged back. Does this mean Julie's willing to marry me?

"Jul, are you.."

He answered straightforwardly but looked sweet in my eyes. My heart is pounding, unusual. I immediately lowered my gaze. What's the matter? Am I..? Ah, it's impossible. It can't be this fast.

Besides, can I love him?

I went home, went back to the apartment - which Keanu bought for me.

"Your house is too far from the office, also from my house. Pity you if you go back and forth that far every day. Can you crumble later." That was the reason Keanu used to be. He's a really good friend.

Before I walked out the door, I turned around and told Julie that I would take my parents to propose to her officially.

"When?"

"If you can be soon."

"Saturday I can clear my schedule."

I smile. "It's better that way. If it can be for the next. Saturday and Sunday are days for families."

He nodded. "Let's consider. But, I will try. I want to learn from the shortcomings of the past."

Julie waved her hand from that door. Just like he did in the days before. But tonight feels different.

I feel my passion back. Could my heart begin to melt and open again?
