"Defender, isn't everything clear now. There are children among us too. Can we get back together?" asked Ray expectantly.
"Sorry Ray, but it's better this way" Bela replied.
"What do you mean like this?" ray did not understand.
"I can't go back with you, right now other than myself I also have to think about Raynan's feelings. I don't want Raynan to have to experience rejection from Mami. Raynan was a kid, I didn't want to see him hurt by rejection" Bela said.
"I'm sure, Mami can definitely accept Raynan's presence. Raynan is Mami's grandson and all this time Mami really wants a grandson, Mami will definitely be happy if she finds out that Mami already has a grandchild, I beg Bela, please, I want to make amends for what I have done in the past. I want to make up for the days I've spent without Raynan" Ray said.
"What makes you so sure?" I'm sorry Ray, I don't believe you, but the mistake I made was very imprinted in Mami's heart, I don't blame Mami, because I deserve to be hated. But Raynan was just a kid who didn't understand about his mommy's mistakes. I don't want Raynan to bear the consequences of my mistakes, so I beg you not to involve Raynan in our problems" Bela said.
"But Raynan deserves the affection of both parents" said Ray.
"Raynan is fine like this, so I beg you, let it be like this, you just continue your life as what Mami wants, me and Raynan are fine" Bela said.
"But I'm not okay, Bela." said Ray in a high tone.
"Think of Raynan's condition, Ray. Do you want Raynan to be confused about our condition? and wonder why her grandmother could hate her mommy so much?" ask Bela.
"But it's not fair to me Bel, I want our little family back together! I beg Bela!" said Ray
"Our family is different from other families Ray, I beg you to keep it like this" Bela said.

Ray thinks about what Bela said, but his heart cannot accept the decision Bela made, Ray wants his little family back together.
The next day, at the dinner table, Ray tells the truth to Miss Santi.
"What do you mean, boy?" santi asked, not understanding.
"Ray, already has a child Mi, Ray has met with Ray's son. Before Bela left, Bela was pregnant with Ray's child" explained Ray.
"How can you be sure it's your son? you'd forgotten? What kind of woman?" said Miss Santi.
"Mi, Bela is not unlike what Mami said. And Ray is pretty sure that this is Ray's son, even Ray who donated blood when this kid was in an accident. Does that still not make Mami sure that this child, Ray's son?" ask Ray.
"So that kid who needs that blood donor, Bela's son?" ask Miss Santi.
"Stop it, Mami can not be completely sure of the woman" said Ms Santi.
"Mi, no matter what Mami's judgment, Ray believes Raynan is Ray's son. And Ray wants to get back together with them!" said Ray.
"Don't be crazy you Ray, you think the clear one, remember, that woman made your Papi die. Can you see that Mami has to suffer again? Mami's age is also not long Ray, you know, this Mami is sick. Do you want Mami to die sooner?" said Miss Santi.
"Mi, please don't say that. Mi, don't Mami want to see Mami's granddaughter? doesn't Mami want to live with Mami's granddaughter?" ask Ray.
"We do a DNA test. If it's true that the child is your child, we take care of the custody of our child, we will raise the child. Women like Bela are not worthy to raise your child" Ms Santi said.
"Astaghfirullah, Mami why have such thoughts? Does Mami want to separate a child from her birth mother?" ask Ray.
"This is for the good of the child, we can raise the child much better and provide much better facilities" said Ms Santi.
"Bela, also not a cash-strapped person, Mi. even though all her assets have been returned to Mami, but Bela is not a cash-strapped person, she can give everything Raynan needs," answer Ray.
"Remember Ray! you promised to marry Mita. Don't use this kid's excuse to cancel your appointment!" said Miss Santi.
"After what Ray has said, it turns out that Mami is still not changed and still ask Ray to marry Mita? it turned out to be true what Bela said ", said Ray.
"What did Bela say? is he trying to ruin our relationship again? Ray you don't get affected by women like that anymore. Remember Ray a child's paradise is on his mother's soles!" said Miss Santi.
"Mi, Ray understands. Ray knows, Ray's paradise is on Mami's riddho.but Ray is also a Mi father, Ray has a child. Since he was born in this world, Ray has never done Ray's duty as a father" said Ray with teary eyes.
"Then, follow Mommy's advice. Do a DNA test and take custody of the child, we hire the most expensive lawyer to take the child, Mami is sure Mita will be a good mother for your child" said Miss Santi.
"Ray went to Mi's office first, Assalamu'alaikum" said Ray passed because he was upset with Miss Santi, whatever was discussed still did not change Bu Santi's stance.
And when Ray was gone, Miss Santi pondered what Ray said. Miss Santi became curious about the granddaughter that Ray said.
Ms. Santi secretly went to the hospital and found out about Raynan's condition. From a distance, Ms. Santi saw Raynan who was in Bela's bribe.
"His face is very similar to Ray when he was a child, is he really Ray's child? but they do look so similar," muttered Bu Santi trying to recall when Ray was a child.so similar is what is currently in the mind of Bu Santi.
"But who is that man? what was the man's relationship with Bela and the child?" muttered Bu Santi when he saw Riza who was also beside Raynan.
"Why does the boy call him Daddy?" muttered Bu Santi when he heard Raynan calling Riza as daddy.
