EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 67 About Cloudy

Cloudy left his restaurant. He kept driving his car. Though the bag and all his belongings are still in his room on the 2nd floor of the restaurant. It's just that the car keys are in his blazer pocket.

Cloudy looked at his son who was playing robots. Activities he usually does when he is in the car.

Cloudy, always take El with him wherever he goes. He could not be separated from the 3-year-old toddler. The son he got from a man he accidentally spent the night with.

Four years ago, just as Nath publicly acknowledged Tiara as his wife. And at that moment Cloudy saw the other side of Nath who turned out to be romantic and gentle while talking.

Cloudy felt hope of getting Nath extinct. He was heartbroken for days. Moving on and forcing herself would only disappoint her, she was aware of it.

Cloudy tries to dodge, not meeting Nath for a while as he knows his heart is not ready to face the fact that Nath already has one.

Cloudy who was in the store during a birthday party at his friend's house suddenly got carried away. He got drunk in the spacious house where there were only a few young people who were friends of the host.

Cloudy ended up in a bed in one of the rooms with a handsome man who had met him.

"Rileyfan."

"Cloudy."

And it all just flows. Cloudy had to lose his virginity that night.

He left before dawn with a frustrated cry. He did not ask for accountability because he was afraid to get the curse because the forbidden thing happened because both of them were drunk.

A month, Cloudy went into seclusion on the island of the Gods. And the earth where he stood suddenly felt collapsed like it would drown his body.

"I... am I pregnant?" Her crying broke out in the bathroom with a two-striped tespack.

That morning he was desperate to buy a tespack because he was late for the month and experienced some of the characteristics of young pregnancy such as nausea and vomiting.

"Hiks.. hicks... hicks." Wailing wistfully.

He was an only child victim of a broken home. His mother ran a business that his grandfather inherited, so he lacked parental attention and guidance.

He also lacks the affection of a father figure, as his father left with his new wife since he was 6 years old.

"Clou, what should you do, Ma?" He monologues and caresses his stomach. He was sitting limp in a closet at the hotel where he stayed while in Bali.

"Clou doesn't want this kid to look the same as Clou, have papa but like he doesn't have one."

Cloudy wiped away her tears. He immediately sought information about Reyfan from his friend who was birthday at that time. But the news he got actually made him worse.

"Well, you don't look for Reyfan, Clou. He's been in jail for kidnapping."

"Somehow, why are you looking for him?" ask Cloudy's friend Sisil.

"Eng. Nothing Sil. Curious, Wa he's never on line again."

"Udah first, yes. Thanks for the info."

Cloudy looked towards the city center from the window of his hotel room. He just found a new fact again.

The son-in-law of the A. A. family of businessmen, T.A, is the victim of R. D. kidnapping, a son of a businessman whose company is currently on the verge of bankruptcy.

A news headline that made him curious. And finally he discovers the truth that Tiara, Nath's wife was kidnapped by Reyfan.

Cloudy held his queen's stomach. "He can't know that his father is a criminal" murmured Cloudy with tears streaming down the cliff of his cheek.

"Nobody should know that I'm carrying that baby villain."

"Nobody can know!!" Claim Cloudy. His body slowly slumped to the floor. He sat down and rubbed his stomach.

"You have to stay alive, baby. You must be as good as a mother who survives without a papa figure."

"Okay, we should be able to strengthen each other. Mommy will keep you dear no matter what happens, especially if you have to fight your own oma." Cloudy's been determined to keep her fetus.

Cloudy decided to move to Bali. Continuing college while awaiting the birth of his son.

"Angis moon?" el's small voice made him realize from the memories of four years ago.

Cloudy wiped away her tears and widened her smile. "The moon is sad, El clumped straight from the bubble," he said.

"Sorry El ya bubun. El kayang bubun." El stretches out his hand for hugging. But Cloudy remains focused on the highway.

"The moon's still driving, baby."

Cloudy passed by a burial area that reminded him of someone he loved dearly.

"We'll see oma for a second, yuk!" take it to El. The toddler nodded happily.

Cloudy searched for some of the money she had saved in a pouch on her car dashboard. The money he made available for parking and other purposes.

Because his wallet was still left in the restaurant, Cloudy used the money to buy flowers and rose water in front of the public funeral gate.

Cloudy carried El in front of his body. He passed through many tombs. And his eyes were fixed on the pair of crying beakbaya rubbing the gravestone in front of them.

Cloudy had seen the name on the gravestone. Reiga. What a good name. Maybe their son's grave.

Cloudy continued walking towards a new tomb with a gravestone named Mega Herawati. This is the grave of his mother Cloudy who died not yet 40 days ago.

Mama who freely embraced him tightly when she met him in an apartment in Bali. Her mother secretly wanted to pick her up. And that's when Mega knew that Cloudy was pregnant without a husband.

Their bitter cries spill out. Without a doubt his mother rubbed a distended stomach with the age of 8 months.

"Mom sorry, dear."

"Mama's too busy, until you have to get through this on your own."

"Mama is preparing everything for you. And now it's not just you, it's him."

Justright. Her mother is building a business empire for her and El. Preparing for her security and future. To not tell him about the cancer that attacked his mother for years.

"Hi mama."

"Oma hi. El came again," a warm greeting with a hint of the child's distinctive lisp made Cloudy smile thinly at his son.

"Mama was happy there, yeah. Clou will keep trying to be strong for El, ma."

I don't know, if he hadn't kept El in his womb, maybe he would have been completely alone by now.

El hugged Cloudy who was shedding her tears.

Meeting Nath and Tiara scared him off. He fears that Nath and Tiara will take revenge on Reyfan and take revenge on his son if he finds out that El is Reyfan's son.

All this time Cloudy really did not want to find out about Reyfan and his family anymore. He completely shuts down all reproaches so that no one knows El is the result of his one-night relationship with Reyfan.

He was afraid El would not be recognized and that it would be more painful than not telling Reyfan's family.

And he was even more afraid if they took El from him. Moreover let El stay with Reyfan the villain, he would not be willing.

Bubun must protect you, baby. Nath and Tiara can't know who you're from.

***

El Nath and Tiara.

"Why you, baby?" nath asked almost a hundred times when Tiara had not yet fallen asleep even though they had almost 2 hours into bed.

Tiara looked at the ceiling. "I met Brother Cloudy, earlier." Nath was not surprised at all.

"How common are you, Bang?"

"So what should I do, baby?" ask Nath as if it's not important news.

"Shock cake. Ask cake. Or what a cake!" Tiara's upset.

"I don't matter either, Ti. Nobody is either."

"But he's your ex?" Tiara took a look at her husband's face. Looking for something he thinks Nath is hiding.

"Former what? So it's not even." Elak Nath fast.

"He's got a kid, Bang." Nath wondered why Tiara seemed to be concerned about the child that Cloudy had brought earlier.

"I know, "nath's answer made Tiara squeak suspiciously.

Nath realized he was speaking wrong. "Ehm, accidentally met in front of the restaurant earlier."

"Whose son is it, Bang?"

"Of course her husband's son, Ti." Nath pinched Tiara's cheek.

"Ck!" its decan. "You bang, but who's her husband."

"O Allah, kepo very much nih bini." Nath opens the blanket that covers Tiara's body and pulls his wife in a hug.

"From thinking of people's children, mending us to make our own children, Ti." Nath attacked his wife with kisses all over her face.

And then it happened as Nath wanted.
