"So, their relationship was just fine until I came back into their lives and messed everything up. Is that it?" Anya said angrily.
"Your father is just lost and doesn't want to find his way back. He decided to go to the extreme so that all of this happened. It's true that he did the wrong thing, but your mother still considers her feelings for your father. But there's no need to understand them. Just let them do their own thing. We don't have to interfere," Aiden said.
"It's fine if he recovers. But what if his condition turns bad and he gets paralyzed? Will he ask my mother to take care of him? Hmm?" Anya snorted coldly. "If he is okay, he will live happily with Jessica. But he looked for my mother when he was sick. Why must my mom be treated like this?"
"If he is paralyzed, let someone else take care of him. You won't let your mother take care of it, will you? Don't think too much about it." Aiden smiled and stroked his wife's head.
"My mother is still considering their relationship as husband and wife for 20 years. Meanwhile, I don't have a deep father and daughter relationship with him," Anya pursed her lips.
Aiden hugged Anya and rubbed her arms, trying to calm her down. "I know. But this problem is completely theirs. We don't have to interfere."
"I know. I will trust all the decisions you make," although Anya didn't like seeing her mother's concern for her father, Aiden's words made a lot of sense.
If her mom and dad didn't have a good relationship, her dad would have been looking for another woman and having another child out there long ago. What's more, her mother's health was not good enough for many years.
Their relationship had been very good at least before Anya returned to their life.
"If I hadn't married you and you married Keara instead of me, would all of this still happen?" Anya suddenly asked.
"Even without you, I would never have married the woman who betrayed me. Keara was destined to be such a lunatic, obsessed over her love for someone. Whoever I marry, she would still hate the woman I chose. That is the problem. Everything has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it," Aiden comforted.
"Father always thought that my appearance had destroyed the peace and happiness of the Pratama Family. He blamed me and my mom tried to protect me, so he also blamed her," Anya took a deep breath. "I can't believe that dad is such a bad man. But what about his relationship with Jessica?"
Aiden smiled understandingly. "She seduced him with her beauty."
"Beauty?" Anya said disdainfully.
"Maybe it's not just her beauty. As long as she is a woman and can seduce men, especially when your father is in this state, her plan will surely work. It just so happened that the relationship between your father and mother is tenuous. Now she is taking advantage of her pregnancy," said Aiden.
"Alright. We've given her the opportunity not to disturb our family," Anya sneered. "Father is not a fool either. If he did this, it doesn't mean he meant it as a mistake. He did it on purpose."
"Anya, calm down. You are pregnant now and your hormones are unstable. First of all, everyone knows that what Jessica did was disgusting. Everyone also knows that your father made a mistake by deciding to hook up with her. All of this was his own decision and no one was forcing him. They are both wrong. Now, we can only hope that your father is safe and well," Aiden said calmly.
Anya nodded obediently. "I don't want all of this to happen either, but I can't control myself. I… I may not be just pregnant, but also a hot-tempered woman."
Aiden laughed and kissed the top of her head. "Don't think about anything. Everything will be fine."
"I trust you. If you say everything will be fine, then everything will be fine," Anya trusted Aiden. In this world, there was nothing that Aiden couldn't do.
For Anya, Aiden can do anything.
Nadine has been discharged from the hospital, returned home to rest and look after the baby in her belly. Jenny's wedding party was also over.
Once Galih and Indah's problems are over, Anya can rest easy. She just needs to wait for her baby to be born peacefully.
…
The next morning, Anya gets a call from Indah.
"Anya, your father has gone through a critical period. But he doesn't want to tell me why he fainted." Indah took a deep breath. "I think something happened to him and Jessica. He didn't want to tell me out of shame."
"Mother, why should you care about him? If he's fine, you hurry home and rest," said Anya.
"Anya, he is still your father. Why don't you care about him?" Indah said.
"Is helping to decorate my school enough to prove that he is my father? How could a father's love be that cheap? I gave him the opportunity to be close to me after 20 years apart. I also want to be loved by my parents. But what did he do? He blamed me for showing up and destroying his family's happiness. Keara had done a lot of evil things, but all the blame was on me. Just because I am a disaster in his eyes!" Anya is not a vengeful person. But she couldn't let Galih do all this to her.
Since childhood, Anya had lacked love from her father. In the past, Deny, whom she considered as a father, loved Natali more than her.
It was very difficult to find her real father. But in fact, after meeting her biological father, Galih's favorite daughter was Keara, not her.
"Anya, your father just can't think clearly right now. What he said was simply because of his anger. After I divorced him, you will be his only family in this world. Don't hate him. He is getting old," Indah said gently.
Anya's eyes reddened at her mother's words. She also longs for a happy family. She wants to be a happy daughter, loved by her father and mother.
But her wish will never come true. It's not that she doesn't want to be a dutiful child to her father. However, it was her father who did not want to recognize her as his daughter.
"Mother, when the child in Jessica's womb is born, my father will ignore me even more. That's enough. You must be tired now. Hurry home," Anya whispered.
"Anya, I just hope that you won't be affected by mom and dad's divorce. Even though we are no longer husband and wife, you are still our child. Do you understand? In this world, there is no parent who doesn't love their child," after ending the call, Indah turned around and saw that Galih had woken up.
She forced a smile on her face. "You're awake. Your assistant is at the door and the hospital has arranged a special nurse for you, so you will be fine. Even though Anya is angry with you, she and Aiden have arranged the best treatment for you. You are her father no matter what. Even though we're not husband and wife anymore, I don't want your relationship with your daughter to be destroyed too."
Galih just looked at her coldly. "I treated you cruelly. Why do you still want to take care of me like this?"
"Even though we're going to separate, we've been in a relationship for more than 20 years. I also know that what you did to me was outright cruel. But if I do the same to you, it means I'm not that different from you. Galih, after being with me all this time, do you still not understand me and don't trust me?" Indah smiled faintly.
"In this world, we can only depend on ourselves," Galih replied.
Indah then still smiled at him. "You're right. Therefore I also have to think about myself. I can't help Keara. If she were still alive, you would do everything you could to help her after you got out of prison. Even though she could only lie on her bed, she still slandered me. I, who raised her since childhood, thought of her as my own daughter, but what did I get in return? Don't blame me if all this happened to her."
