Lies
Our Son

Karan's consciousness seemed to disappear instantly. He had no idea what was happening, but it seemed like he had just listened to the most shocking thing in his entire life. To his surprise, he almost lost his balance. Just because it held the wall of the building alone Karan could support his body so as not to collapse. If he had not used his hands to defend, his knees would have already collided with the cold marble floor.

Karan caught his breath, trying to stay calm while his mind was being filled with strange things. Is this a dream? Yes, he must still be in dreamland. The sleeping pills he consumed today had a fairly high dose let alone he drank a few grains. Surely at this time he is still under the control of sleeping pills so that he can hallucinate to this extent. First, he hallucinated being near the Kingdom, even riding in a car with his ex-wife. But it is clear that Raya has her own life. The woman already had Edgar, the man she could rely on more than Karan. There was no way Raya was beside him, beside the man who had already hurt the woman many times.

Second, and this is the worst, Karan hears something that is unlikely to happen. Luca is his son. The boy who had been interfering with his life for a few days was his biological son. Does that make sense? Of course Karan couldn't believe it. Raya herself said their baby had died five years ago. Karan makes the woman miscarry because of his actions. How could the baby that had vanished from his mother's womb suddenly become a four-year-old boy?

“What? What did you say?” Karan looked at his ex-wife. His gaze was covered in disbelief at all. If he was not affected by sleeping pills, Ray would be lying right now. Between the two there must be something that could be the reason for today's confusing events.

Raya touched Karan's hand. The woman spoke slowly so that she could be heard clearly by her ex-husband. “I told you Luca was our son. He is your son,” Raya. As Karan wanted to express his disbelief by shouting, Raya quickly pulled her hand away from the classroom. The kids are still learning. It's not good to disturb them. After all, it was not just the two of them who were there. Although using Indonesian language that is not understood by the parents of other students, still their voices are quite noisy until Raya finally brings Karan to the park in front of the class.

“Wait Away, wait a minute!” intercept Karan when Raya wants to take him a step further from the classroom. “You should explain what you just said to me just now!” sue the man. For five years Karan lived with so much regret for thinking his baby had died. But now miraculously, Karan becomes the father of a boy. It was clear Raya owed him a great deal of explanation.

“Yes, I'll explain. But not here. We should at least find a place to sit. Please don't make a fuss at Luca's school,” Pinta Raya. After convincing Karan, Raya also pulled the man's hand and brought him to a long chair. “Come sit,” he said again while inviting the ex-husband to sit in the iron chair.

Karan had no idea what was happening, but he followed what Raya said obediently. When the supermodel tells her to sit down, Karan follows her. He sat next to Raya without complaining at all.

“Now we are here.” Karan turned to his right and left, observing the surroundings as he understood the intention of Raya taking him to the school garden. So that their important conversation does not disturb the people who are there. “There is no one near us so you can talk freely.”

Instead of directly answering, Raya instead fell silent, seeming to be thinking of something. “I'm confused where to start.” He means he doesn't know how to tell me everything that's happened to him in these five years. He had to start the story from where, and what he had to tell first. Because there are too many important events that Raya has passed through that she wants to tell the ex-husband. And it all has to do with Luca.

“If you can't answer that easily, I'll help you.” Karan took over the conversation. He knew Raya was having trouble so he wanted to help her. It is also useful for himself so that he can get the information he has been asking in his mind. “Is Luca really my son?”

Raya nodded. “Yes, he's your son.”

“You're sure he's my son? He's not the son of another man?” Given how Luca and Edgar were so close to each other it was impossible to make Karan unsuspecting. They were too familiar to say they had no relationship at all. In fact, Karan could clearly see the affection Edgar gave Luca, and vice versa.

Karan jerks. He hurriedly clarified his words. “I didn't mean to say that, Raya. I just can't believe Luca is really my son.”

“Then whose son is he, Karan? Luca is now four years old, more precisely four years and eight months old. There are only four months left for her fifth birthday. How could I conceive the child of another man while I was still your wife?”

“Wait for Raya! If Luca is really my son, then you are ..” Karan looked at the two eyes of Raya with a sharp spotlight. In both of his net was stored a great anger towards the woman in front of him. “What does that mean back then you didn't miscarry?”

Raya nodded her head. “Yes, at that time I did not miscarry.”

“You lied to me?”

“I didn't completely lie to you, Karan,” denied Kingdom quickly. “At that time I did have bleeding, but not until the miscarriage. Luca can still be saved by a team of hospital doctors.”

Raya recounted the event in great detail. The day she had severe bleeding and almost lost her baby, Raya cried in despair. He really wanted to end his life with the baby if the baby had completely disappeared from the womb. The past that rose from his memory was so terrifying to him. Especially when he found out that he was the one who put Karan behind bars. She committed an unforgiving act for taking away her own father's life, and she also made her innocent husband bear all his guilt. Raya was completely shaken by all that reality.

Then, somehow, miraculously, the baby in the womb of the Kingdom can still be saved. It gives a great relief. Gives a strength for Raya to live life. He has lost one life with his own hands, he does not want to lose another. Raya decided to stay.

When the condition of his body was better, Raya again got the astonishing facts about Karan Reviano. He knew the man was renamed from Farraz to Karan Reviano, the only son of the conglomerate Reviano. The fact that Raya got was the evidence presented by Varen and Reagan about what her husband had been doing to her. That Karan had planned many things to harm others. Raya does not know what makes Karan so obsessed with her, but the aunt finally explains something that makes sense in Raya's ears.

“Karan does not love you, Raya. He's obsessed with you because of his hatred and resentment. He has suffered a lot in the past, and he blames you for all that suffering. You can't stay together. Because if you keep coercing your life together under these circumstances, Karan's hatred and resentment will destroy you. Auntie knows you love her so much, but you have to let her go so she can heal her hatred and anger at you. That's the only way you can live well.”

At first Raya did not want to divorce Karan. His love is too great for the man that he is willing to do anything for the sake of the husband. After all, it was only natural that Karan was angry with her. The man had already borne the blame that should have been inflicted on him. Raya believes time can cure Karan. And as long as he was by his side, the man would forget his anger and hatred. Unfortunately, that hope is completely dashed because Karan did a lot of things that actually showed that the man's grudge against him is still very big. As a result, Raya also sent a divorce letter to Karan.
