YUCIA Love Story

I'll Be His Father

“Ciara, you brought your son here again?” ask for a voice. 

Yudha stopped, not caring about the steps of the other friends who had walked in front. He thought he could catch up with them after confirming about that someone named Ciara. Slowly, Yudha looked over. Both of his eyes caught the figure of a woman who turned out to have stood exactly five meters in front of him. Her body looked fuller and fresher, and most surprisingly the woman had been holding a baby. 

“It looks like the universe is deliberately playing us. Separated and then reunited, then separated again, then reunited. Isn't this so weird? After a year has passed you left without news when I was about to melt, we meet again in this place. In front of the river that we used to go to,” said Ciara with a vibrating voice. 

Yudha felt weak hearing that fact. On one hand he was happy to meet Ciara again, but on the other he felt guilty towards the woman. 

“How are you?” ciara asked, as if she had forgotten to mince words. 

“I'm good, then you?” Yudha turned around and looked at a baby in Ciara's arms. 

“My news is very good, especially now that I have a child named Nirmala. I have been living with him for ten months, so I am really in a very good state. Nice to meet you again, Yudha.” Ciara smiled. 

“You have a child?” ask Yudha. 

Ciara nodded. “True, a child without a Father. The man left me while Nirmala was still in the womb. Inevitably, I still have to take care of her womb and now she is a blessing for me,” replied Ciara. 

“Yes, he's my friend I told Mom about. Turns out he served here, accidentally we met here, Bu.” Ciara immediately interrupted her mother's question. 

Obviously his parents knew that the man was Yudha, the father of Nirmala. But when she first arrived, Ciara had asked her parents for help to hide the fact that Yudha was Nirmala's father from anyone, including Yudha herself. The mother was seen nodding even though part of her wanted to also slap the face of Yudha who could rape her son. 

Yudha approached even though her heart had been crushed. He thought that he did not have much time, so Yudha did not want to repeat the same mistake. Disappointed to learn the fact that Ciara has had a child, but her feelings for the mother never lie. 

“Ciara, will you come back with me and get married? Ciara, maybe this is too soon, but I really can't forget you,” Yudha softly with an earnest look. 

“Married?” Ciara surprised. “How are you related to Erina? You're the smartest to play a woman's feelings,” his ridicule in a dismissive tone. 

“Ciara, I'm not with Erina anymore. I broke up with him. I did repeat our relationship from the beginning, but it turns out my heart is only tethered to you. I can't forget you, so I decided to release Erina. So, will you marry me?” Yudha asked again. 

Ciara did not answer. 

“Not a problem with that boy, Ra, I'm going to be his father. Whoever the man who has impregnated and abandoned you, that is not a problem anymore. I love you, I want to marry you and be willing to be a father figure to the child you call Nirmala,” continued Yudha.
