Elma took her hug off Darren. He could not accept Darren's proposal because he felt his life was flawed.
"I'm sorry Darren! I can't be anyone's wife. I'm already disabled. I'm useless. And this kid, I almost killed him for hating his father so much.
I even hated her presence the first time I found out I was pregnant with that bastard. The mentally ill man I did not know himself could have taken away my honor.
I. I. am gathering my courage to kill him one day. But where should I look?"
Elma is back. His heart is not strong enough to reveal the truth to Darren, even though he is currently talking directly to the rapist himself.
"You don't need to explain your hurt to me and who invited your son into this world because it doesn't matter to me.
I just need your ability to live with an arrogant man like me. Please Elma. I'm not the perfect man for you but I'm going to learn to be a husband that means so much to you and a good father to baby Darren."
Darren tries to convince Elma.
"It's not that easy, Darren. I'm still very traumatized. You don't know what I've been through in my life. I've been dirty even so despicable. I don't even dare to dream anymore.
Meet any man who likes me. My feelings are dead to love. I just want to raise my son. The rest I don't care."
"Elmra! I only know one way to love you. I don't care what your reasons are. Please don't reject me Elma. I'm determined that if I can find you, I'll marry you."
Darren said with his gaze looking sad.
"It's too soon for me Darren. Allow me to think. Give me enough room to make this decision."
elma said with a heavy heart.
"I'll schedule you to consult a psychologist to eliminate your trauma.
That way they can heal your soul. I don't want you stuck in the dark that makes your life uncomfortable."
"What do you know about my trauma Darren? Anyway it's an expensive hospital and I can't possibly afford a great doctor here what else is a psychology doctor."
"That's my business, baby. You simply consult with him because the secret of your life can only be shared with an expert in his field. I'm quite receptive to the results of that treatment."
Elma was stunned for a moment. He also needs a doctor who is directly related to his suffering that he now feels. If he is not treated, he will most likely continue to punish himself and refuse others to enter his life.
"Aren't you going to help yourself Elma? If you are not treated immediately, it is likely that you will hate baby Darren over time when he started growing up and began to make you riled up with his acquaintances. Right now she's just a very adorable baby to you."
"Alright Darren. If baby Darren is your consideration for the good of her growth, I must be a healthy born mind to raise her."
"I want you to count on me in all things Elma. And that can happen if we're legally husband and wife."
"Thank you Darren! we go through this naturally without any coercion." Pinta Elma is hopeful.
"Whatever your request is, I'll fulfill it as long as I can have you both dear."
Darren said.
Elma nodded her head in understanding the seriousness of this man in loving him.
"I hope you won't regret your choice Darren. You're too perfect for me." Said Elma with a choked voice.
"It's not me who's going to regret Elma, but maybe it's you who'll regret knowing I'm the source of the misfortune in your life." Inner Darren.
After keeping quiet with each other, Elma remembered that she also brought coffee. He offers his coffee to Darren.
"Don't you miss my Darren coffee?"
Elma asked timidly while tidying her hair child by her ear side.
"Did you bring my favorite Elma coffee?"
Elma nodded with a smile that made Darren's heart melt.
"Damn! That smile is too pretty for you to show anyone Elma." Inner Darren.
The smell of coffee filled the room that makes Darren feel back the good times that had been lost in his life with Elma.
"Please Darren!"
"Thank Elma. I do need a cup of coffee right now because it's a little frustrating to force yourself to marry me."
Darren said as he poured coffee on a small plate so he could sip.
Elma could only smile.
"Mommy.mommy.mommy.mom..!"
Call Baby Darren who immediately woke up sitting with the back of his hand wiping his tears.
"Baby's up, baby?"
Elma raised baby Darren cautiously as her hand was still stuck in an infusion needle.
Darren immediately approached his son who was looking at him with a frown as if asking who you are.
"Darling! Want to get in Daddy's car?"
Darren raised both hands to greet the son who began to respond with a smile showing his neat teeth. Baby Darren's hand welcomes his father's hand to carry it.
Darren hugged his son's stocky body which was more akin to Elma's face.
"Darling! Forgive Daddy for finding you late. Daddy promised to take you home to Daddy's palace." Darren lirih.
"Daddy!"
Baby Darren said as he looked at Darren's handsome face.
"Yes dear. This is your Daddy, Darren's Daddy."
Unwittingly Darren, his son kissed his cheek for a long time leaving behind a little saliva.
Darren's heart immediately warmed, feeling his son's affection.
"God's Masya. How wonderful is my life to meet you, dear?" Inner Darren was filled.
Darren plays with his son who is already adept at playing games on his mother's phone.
It turns out that the speed of baby Darren completing a game recognized by his father because the game they are currently playing is very difficult to complete by adults though.
Amidst this father-son preoccupation, KIA's assistant returns to the room again.
"Boss! I've booked a hotel close to this hospital, do you want to go back to the hotel?"
"No KIA, I want to stay here with my little family. I don't want to be separated from my son. "
Said Mr. Darren without taking his eyes off his son's handsome face.
"Good Sir. This is food for both of you. I've been looking for an Indonesian restaurant in town."
Say KIA while handing rice Padang with rendang complete vegetables and sauce.
"Thank you KIA! Sorry to trouble you."
Elma then prepared food for Darren.
Without hesitation, Elma fed the Padang rice to Darren making Darren smile happily.
He gladly opened his mouth to welcome every mouthful from Elma while still playing with his son who was sitting in his lap.
Seeing the intimacy, KIA immediately said goodbye to return to the hotel.
