BRADLEY FAMILY DISAPPOINTMENT

''Good morning Roy, sorry I'm late.'' Said Cristian who had just arrived at his office.

''Yes Cris, no problem. By the way, congratulations on the birth of your first daughter.'' Roy said while shaking hands with Cristian.

''Yes Roy, thank you. Actually, I wanted Anatasya to give birth to Roy's son to replace me in the Bradley family. But there's no way I'm going to throw the child away.'' Cristian replied while sitting next to Roy.

''Gosh Cris, you should be grateful to have been blessed with such a beautiful daughter. Why are you still complaining, what exactly are you looking for in your life.'' Asked Roy who was astonished.

''Actually, all this time I wanted to get married together with Stella, Roy. But why is my destiny so bad. God has given me a destiny that I didn't want.'' Cristian said to Roy.

''Why are you still thinking about that woman Cris. Didn't you promise Anatasya that you would be a good husband for her. Why did you go to Maldiev if you were still thinking about your former lover? Roy said, trying to get Cristian's attention.

''I know Roy, but my feelings for Stella can't just disappear, just so you know. All this time I was still expecting her to come back into my life. Especially after Stella gave me a photo of my flesh and blood baby boy. My feelings of love for her are getting stronger Roy. I've been trying to fully accept Anatasya in my life. But my heart and feelings keep rejecting her.'' Cristian said as he opened his laptop.

''So why don't you just divorce Anatasya then. By divorcing Anatasya now, your problems with her will soon be over. And you can marry Stella after that.'' Cristian said, influencing Cristian's thoughts.

''That's impossible Roy. After all, Anatasya has been a good wife for me. Now let's discuss the profit of our business this month.'' Cristian said.

After that, Cristian and Roy began discussing the profits he had made this month in his office. Cristian and Roy have been good friends for a long time. But until now Roy still hasn't gotten married. Roy was already 38 years old, two years older than Cristian.

In the afternoon Cristian's mother came to Anatasya's house. Cristian's mother wanted to see the baby that Anatasya had just given birth to yesterday. Anatasya had prepared a meal to welcome Cristian's mother and the Bradley family.

All of Cristian's extended family thought that the child Anatasya had given birth to was a baby boy. They were surprised to see that Anatasya's baby turned out to be a girl. Previously, Cristian and Anatasya had not told them about the sex of their child.

''Hay mom and big bradley family, please come in. I have been waiting for your arrival at our house for a long time. And I've just finished preparing the food to welcome you to this house.'' Anatasya said as she told them to sit down.

''Yes Ana, thank you. They also can't wait to see your son as the son of the Bradley family.'' Cristian's mother said with a happy smile.

''What do you mean, Cristian hasn't told you that the child I gave birth to yesterday is a girl. Our daughter's name is Michelle Ashley. '' Anatasya said as she sat between them.

Everyone was surprised and glanced at each other. They felt a little disappointed that Anatasya had given birth to a girl. But Cristian's mother tried to keep the Bradley family from mocking Anatasya.

''Don't worry guys, it's certain that soon Anatasya will also be pregnant with a second child. She will soon give birth to another boy to succeed the Bradley family. That's not it Ana.'' Cristian's mother said, trying to defend Anatasya in front of the Bradley family.

''Yes, Mother.'' Anatasya replied a little sadly.

Finally, the Bradley family understood and would wait for the birth of Anatasya's second baby with Cristian. It wasn't long before they all got to see Anatasya's baby girl sleeping in her crib.

''Wow, my granddaughter is so cute, isn't she? Cristian's mother said to his older sister.

''Yes, your granddaughter is very beautiful like her mother.'' She said.

After that they wanted to go back to their respective homes. Anatasya then led them all to the front door of her house.

In the evening after Cristian arrived home, Anatasya tried to tell him that her family had come to her house earlier in the day. Anatasya then told Cristian that they were actually expecting a boy.

Because in the Bradley family, a wife should be able to give birth to a baby boy for her husband. If the wife could not give birth to a boy, then the husband was allowed to find a new wife and must be able to give birth to a baby boy after that.

''Cris this afternoon your mother and also Bradley's extended family have come to our house. And it turns out that they really hope that I can give birth to a boy soon Cris. Don't they know that a girl can also bring happiness to the family? I'm sorry Cris, I don't like your family's tradition. Anatasya said to Cristian.

''I knew that before they all came here. I just didn't tell you before. That's the tradition in my family. And after you give birth to a second child for me, then you must be able to give birth to a son for me. If not, then you can't stop me from having another wife Ana.'' Cristian said as he walked to his room.

''But Cris, until whenever, I will never want you to have another wife. When you cheated on me with Stella I was already very angry and disappointed with you!!!. Especially until you get married Cris! I won't let that happen Cris.'' Said Anatasya who was walking next to Cristian.

''Then, you must be able to give me a son after this. Do you understand!!!'' Cris said as he entered the bathroom.

It wasn't long before their baby girl was crying in her room. Anatasya immediately rushed to hold the baby and give her breast milk.

In the evening after Anatasya had fallen asleep. Cristian wanted to call Stella in the next room. With his slow footsteps, Cristian finally managed to get out of Anatasya's room without waking her up.

That night Cristian began to repeat his mistake of breaking his promise not to have any more contact with Stella. But the nature of cheating and lying has been attached to Cristian.

Tring.... Telephone voice

''Hello Cris, you finally called me. Did you miss me? Stella asked Cristian.

''Yes Stella, to be honest I really missed you. I even want to hug your body tonight. How is our child? Cristian said, wooing Stella a little.

''Our son is doing well Cristian. He seems to be missing his biological father. When can you come here Cris. We miss you so much.'' Stella said pamperingly.

''I'm sorry Stella, I'll see you when things get better in the house. I love you Stella. I'll call you back tomorrow night.'' Cristian said as he turned off his cell phone and went back to Anatasya's room to get some rest.

Cristian was a man who couldn't commit and had no convictions. How could he start cheating on Anatasya again. Even though Anatasya had reluctantly given him a second chance to improve himself as a good husband. But it turns out that he has not used the opportunity well so far.
