3. Disowned His Baby

"I'm sorry I disappointed Mom and Dad!"

"No, we are guilty. If the matchmaking didn't exist, you wouldn't feel this pain." Ratih stroked her daughter's hair.

Then Ratih remembered what Julia had said earlier. She asked. "Honey, you're not pregnant, are you? Julia said you were pregnant. Is that true?" Ratih asked worriedly.

Kirana's tears became more and more. She didn't answer right away. Ratih, who saw it, was getting more and more pounding, waiting for her daughter's answer.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I can't take care of myself. I'm sorry!" Kirana was accompanied by tears that were getting sadder.

Ratih shook her head. He hoped it was a lie from Julia, but what she had just heard made her chest tighten.

"Kirana? Tell me the truth! That's a lie, isn't it?" Ratih asked again as if in disbelief.

"I...I'm pregnant, Mom."

Now, Ratih's feelings are crushed. They not only get betrayed and humiliated but also have to accept that their beloved daughter had to become pregnant out of wedlock and the man could not be held responsible. She could not imagine her daughter pregnant without a husband, especially since Kirana is still very young and her future is still long.

Ratih then let go of her arms, got up, and walked out of the room unsteadily. Kirana, who saw her heart even more torn, shouted, "I'm sorry!"

Ratih approached her husband. She sobbed in her husband's arms.

"Our daughter ... our daughter's future has been destroyed. It's not only her heart that's broken," said Ratih beating her husband's chest.

Hermawan understood what his wife said, trying to be strong.

"It's okay. We have to accept this. We can still care for Kirana and her child even without a father. We have to be strong for them." Hermawan tried to calm his wife down.

Everything has happened, and they have to accept reality firmly.

Kirana fell asleep with her body sitting on the floor, maybe because he was too tired to cry.

She had a dream, and she saw everyone leaving her, Adrian, her father, then her mother. They left without hearing her cry calling for them.

Then Kirana woke up gasping for air. She breathed a sigh of relief because it was all a dream. She couldn't imagine what if all of that had happened. The loss of Adrian was enough to make her fragile.

Kirana saw his cell phone vibrating. She grabbed it and saw who the caller was. Adrian, who called her. For a moment, there was a feeling of happiness in her heart, but then pain spread to all corners of her heart.

She then picked up the call.

"Kiran? Can you hear me, Kirana?" asked Adrian.

"Yes."

"We have to talk. Can we meet?" asked Adrian.

"For what? You want my congratulations?" Kirana said sarcastically.

"Please, Kirana, we need to talk. I will wait for you at the cafe we ​​usually meet. At four o'clock in the afternoon, you must come!" said Adrian.

Kirana didn't answer. She immediately hung up her phone. She then got up and went to the bathroom.

Kirana came out of her bedroom into the dining room. Her stomach ached from not being filled with food. Now she was determined to be strong for the sake of the baby in her womb.

Hermawan came out to see Kirana, who was eating. He then approached his daughter shifted the dining chair, and sat across from her.

"Eat a lot for yourself and your child! You don't need to think about anything else! There are us who will never leave and betray you," said Hermawan.

Hearing that, Kirana's tears flowed again. She sobbed and then got up and knelt before her father.

"Sorry!" Kirana sobbed, her throat constricted.

"Never mind. You don't have to feel sorry. Now continue eating!"

Kirana obeyed her father's orders until it was finished. She then finished the drink Hermawan had offered her.

Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Adrian had arrived at the cafe he promised to Kirana.

Half an hour passed, but Kirana still hadn't come. Adrian began to get restless and continued to look at the clock in his hand. He tried to contact Kirana, but there was no answer.

Moments later, he was startled by the presence of someone in front of him.

"Sintia? What are you doing here?" Adrian's face looked surprised.

Sintia sat on the chair beside Adrian and then replied, "Just like you, waiting for that woman. You don't mind if I'm here, don't you?"

"Y-yes, sure, but I have to talk to Kirana alone."

"Why? I'm your wife. Why can't I know what you're talking about? I could be suspicious.

"Whatever, but please don't talk too much later!" said Adrian with resignation. He was annoyed by his wife's sudden presence.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Kirana finally arrived, wearing a black knee-length dress and flowing hair without powder or flashy lipstick like Sintia. She just put lip balm on her lips. Even so, her beauty is still visible.

Seeing Sintia beside Adrian, Kirana sighed and tried to be strong. There was no way he could back off and go back home because they had already seen her arrival.

"Why did you ask me to come?" Kirana asked matter-of-factly.

Adrian hesitated to answer because there was Sintia beside him.

"Of course, I want to apologize and...." Adrian hesitated to continue his words.

"And what?" Kirana couldn't wait for Andrian's words.

"The message you sent a few days ago."

"Oh, about my pregnancy," said Kirana.

Spontaneously, Sintia glared at Kirana's words.

"What? Pregnant? Who? Whose child are you pregnant with?" asked Sintia impatiently.

Kirana took out a test and a paper from the doctor stating that she was pregnant.

"I'm pregnant. I'm not lying. Only four weeks old."

"Are you sure it's Adrian's son?" asked Sintia.

"You think I did it with another man? Adrian knows. He took my virginity himself. Gosh, I was stupid for believing all his seductions. It turns out that behind my back, he also impregnated another woman." Kirana glared at Adrian.

Because Adrian didn't say anything, Kirana finally continued her speech.

"I think he is a good man and right for me. I believed everything he said until I was willing to give up everything for him." Kirana said, holding back tears.

And suddenly, Adrian asked something that made Kirana quite surprised.

"Are you sure the baby in your womb is mine?" asked Adrian sarcastically.

Kirana widened her eyes and could not believe the words that came out of Adrian's mouth. Sintia smiled happily at Adrian's question. Her husband doubts Kirana and is about to get rid of that woman in his life.

"Adrian, I've never been in contact with any other man besides you. You know that. Why do you doubt this baby?" asked Kirana.

"You're trying to snare me, aren't you? You want to destroy my marriage?" Adrian accused Kirana.

"Adrian, after your betrayal, you still accuse me," said Kirana. The tears were running down her cheeks.

Kirana then got up from her seat to leave immediately, but before leaving, Kirana turned to look at Adrian.

"I love you, and I try to let you marry her. But the words that doubt this baby as yours, I can not forgive. I will not hold you responsible for this baby. My child does not deserve to have a father coward like you."
