The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Delano Recognition

Happy reading!

For a few seconds I was just shaking in my composure. Ignoring his question and just staring blankly as I remembered all the mistakes I had made in the past.

"You don't have to answer if you don't know the answer. Right now, the most important thing is that you've realized all your mistakes, let alone killing an innocent fetus just out of fear that your secret will be known to Denis. Honestly when I heard that from Mira, I was very surprised at first. To me it's all like a dream because the one who killed my son is you."

Delano's words immediately reminded me of what he said in the hospital. Things that I have not been able to confirm because at that time I was playing the role of Almira.

"So, that kid is really your son and not Mas Denis's? Are you serious?" I am still curious about the story behind it all.

"Yes, the child in Mira's womb is my son."

I'm still silent. Digesting what Delano said by thinking hard. "Didn't Mira take my place on my first night with Mas Denis? So, why is the child in Mira's womb even your child and not Mas Denis' child?" Rather than just guessing, I finally made it clear what I had just heard. I've known all of this since I first met Delano at the hospital.

"Because after the first night with Denis, two days later Mira got her period. That's why I'm pretty sure it's not Denis' son."

The answer given by Delano further complements the puzzle pieces that previously had difficulty meeting the answer.

"Did Denis know about this fact? But, if I had thought that Mira would not have let Mas Denis know all the truth about her pregnancy, "my mind was trying to guess something I didn't know. Especially since I went to jail I have no news from Mas Denis or Mira out there, did they get married like Mas Denis said when he last met me in the hospital.

"I'm sorry, Lissa. I really have no intention of getting your sister pregnant. All the problems that happen to you also start from me who runs away from responsibility. I was too cowardly when Mira told her pregnancy."

Delano did not answer. I could see if he remembered anything before he started answering my question. His face also looked sad. I'm sure he really feels guilty for what happened to me. More precisely, in addition to feeling sympathy he also thinks under the root of the problem that befell me and also Almira started from his rejection when my twin sister asked him to take responsibility.

"So, if I'm honest, my intention to come to Jakarta was to see you, but when I found out that you were married to Denis, I felt really sad. Until finally, I met Mira while in college. I thought at first that woman was you, but after I found out, I, only then did I find out that it was your twin sister and that's when Mira and I got closer because it was like I saw you in Mira."

"sad? Why do you have to feel sad when you find out I'm married?" Out of curiosity, I asked Delano what he meant by saying that.

"Because you were my first love since Junior High, Lissa. Hence, I decided to look for you to Jakarta. But unfortunately, I was late." Delano's confession surprised me a little. But I think it's too late. It is also impossible if I have to open my heart to a man who has impregnated my sister, even she to the point of not daring to take responsibility for what she has done.

"Now I understand. So, because you refused to take responsibility, Mira purposely told me that the child in the womb was Mas Denis's son in order for the child to have a father." I was finally able to deduce everything Delano told me after thinking for quite a while.

"Yes, Lissa. Hence, I do not blame you entirely for the actions you have taken because if only Mira had not lied and told you if the child was Denis's child, surely none of this would have happened. You wouldn't think of killing that kid." Delano's face became more sad. Staring at me guiltily that was clearly visible in both of his beads. "One more time I'm sorry, Lissa. I know you will definitely hate me so much after this, but please allow me to remain your friend so that I can make up for all my mistakes!"

I still stared at Delano with dislike. To be more precise, she started to hate him after hearing everything he said even though he had apologized to me.
