Mr. Leon's Second Wife
131

Leon seemed to close his eyes listening to the innocent babbling of his two daughters' sons. This is what he worries about. Ahsa is so plain and what it is. Remind her, how she used to innocently ask Aleta, is it true that the woman is their future mother directly to her person?

Yeah... That's like a kid, isn't it? what he wants to know, what he feels he must say.

Leon smiled stiffly. Another thing with Aleta that looks more relaxed.

"sorry madam, sir.....Ahsa likes it that way." Leon said.

Sarah looked towards Leon.

"not what Leon is. his name is also a child.." said Sarah.

Leon just smiled stiffly.

Mario was still staring at Alka and Ahsa who seemed amazed at Sean and Mario in warrior uniforms.

"om...om same grandfather is a soldier huh?" plain Ahsa asked Sean who was smiling towards them.

"yes.." replied Sean.

"waaaaahhh.." said Alka amazed.

"sister.bener right.." said Ahsa again.

Alka just nodded.

"yes.."answered Alka.

"means..later..we will be his granddaughter sir army brother...hebat ya.." said Ahsa.

"That's...!" leon said as if asking the princess to be quiet. Sean who heard Ahsa's words just smiled funny. So convinced are these two boys that Aleta is their mother-to-be.

"you want to be soldiers too?" ask Sean again.

"i want to." said Alka.

"i don't want to.I'm a girl.I want to be a singer like a mama.." said Ahsa made Sean smile funny.

Alka and Ahsa rise. Both are done with their lunch. The siblings dumped the food box and headed to the bathroom to wash their hands in the sink.

When finalized....

"Alcove....Ahsa...follow you want to?" ask Sean.

"where's om?" ask Alka.

"we walk yuk..buy ice cream.papa mama and her grandparents want to talk first...you guys are the same as you used to be.." said Sean.

"yes to me." replied Alka.

The two boys according. They leave with Sean after saying goodbye to Leon and kissing the hands of the adults in the room. The two then went with Sean .

......................

Alka, Ahsa, and Sean....

Mario approached the patient bed, where on the right and left side of the bed was Sarah and Aleta who were sitting on a chair there.

"how are you doing, Leon?" ask Mario.

Leon smile. Aleta looked down beside the bed.

"i've been much better sir." replied Leon.

"thank God, I'm glad to hear that, too." said Mario.

Leon smiled again.

"thank you sir, I also want to apologize, because I'm sick, Aleta is so much here looking after my son.

Mario smile.

"you must have known that my daughter really likes children, right?" mario asked Leon.

Leon seemed to nod in.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment....

Then...

"Leon .." said Mario.

Leon turned to look at the man Aleta's real father.

"coming me and my wife here, first, I want to see you, and second.I want to apologize.

Leon smile.

"who is arrogant sir? you are not arrogant, I understand what you mean.maybe if I were in your position, I would also do the same thing as you do.." said Leon.

Mario smile...

"Leon...Aleta...there's one more thing I want to say.." said Mario.

Leon and Aleta turned towards the man, as well as Sarah.

Leon and Aleta who had since realized Leon had never once touched on this matter also seemed to look at each other.

"i'm sorry.if my attitude towards you the other day was too harsh.as a parent, if my daughter comes back crying like she used to.." said Mario.

Leon smiled, he was about to chimed in Mario's words but the man in military uniform seemed to raise his hand, as if hinting Leon to be silent and not answer his words first.

Leon stopped his intentions.

"Leon.honestly, the saddest thing for me is Aleta's cry.Five years my wife and I took Aleta away from you, my only hope was one, hope Aleta soon rise from her trauma, start her new life and rearrange the heart for a new man who can make her happy." said Mario.

"i've tried to match Aleta with some men, but in fact Aleta never wanted.he always refused on the grounds that she was not ready to marry and did not fit..."

"Aleta never brought a man home and introduced him to us, his parents...and expressed her intention to ask for our daughter...."

"i.e., you're the only person who's ever been close to Aleta, her ex-husband who I really want to keep away from Aleta's life..."

"sorry, of course I don't agree.I don't want my son back in your cage that used to torture him...."

"that's why I rejected your intention, and planned to match Aleta again, with one of my men, Bobby...."

"but in fact it is not that easy.. After the accident that you experienced, Aleta changed drastically, no matter his career and his job, every day he just spends his time in this place, crying, praying, worshipping in the third of the night, taking care of your daughter's son, he said, and also take care of you who are fast asleep for four days.." said Mario who seems silent once came to the hospital midnight and saw Aleta's activities in the inpatient room.

"my intention of rejecting you was for my daughter's happiness, but I didn't get it....Aleta was unhappy, there was no laughter from her lips, there was only prolonged crying and suffering, and sad again.not only from Aleta..."

Mario took a deep breath.

"from there I began to realize that you lay on this bed has hurt many people.not only my daughter but also your children..."

"i feel guilty because the incident that happened to you happened shortly after my refusal. I feel involved in this matter." said Mario.

Leon was still looking down, and so was Aleta.

Mario stared at the two humans in turn.

"Leon....Aleta.." said Mario.

Leon and Aleta looked up.

"i'm just a parent who wants the best for my son. My decision to tell you to stay away from each other I don't think was the right decision. Aleta did not get her happiness.he seemed lifeless as long as you were sick.but now, I can see it.There is happiness behind her busy taking care of your son...even though I don't actually know, what's on my daughter's mind is willing to do all this for you and your son..."

Aleta's getting down.

"Leon.I know you have the same feelings as Aleta.I know you love each other...."

"i'll try to give you a second chance." said Mario again making Leon and Aleta look up at the general.

"but with some conditions." said the man again.

Mario looked towards Sarah. The woman then took out a brown map from the carry bag and handed it to Mario.

Mario opens it and hands the map to Leon.

The man also read the contents of the map which turned out to be an agreement before the marriage submitted by Mario to the man.

"i'm giving you a second chance.but I have a condition...."

"first of all, you have to marry my daughter immediately if you still love her, I don't want you to stay in a relationship without marriage for too long..."

"the second one, I want you to ask your mother for permission in prison and make sure that Aleta will be safe when the woman is finished with her sentence...I want you to make sure he won't interfere with your domestic affairs.."

"the third one.I allow you to marry, but I want you to stay with us for a certain amount of time, that you really have changed and can be a good priest to my daughter..."

"and lastly, I will act decisively and sue you if until you come back to repeat your mistake and hurt my daughter. Whether it's physical or mental violence, infidelity, or anything else." Mario said.

"i'm just a father who's afraid something's going on with my daughter. I'm doing this, not trying to interfere in the child's household. I just want to make sure you can really take my place, be the man I can count on to look after and love my daughter..."

"i will not enter into your household as long as you can carry out this agreement I made. I will allow you to stay alone in your home later, if I'm sure, you deserve to take Aleta with you." said Mario.

Leon looked towards Aleta. Aleta remained motionless as if resigned to Leon's decision.

Leon then turned to look towards Mario.

"what about my son?" ask Leon.

"i've never had a problem with children.Please take him with you wherever you go.I don't mind.." said Mario.

Leon nodded. Mario pulls out the pen Sarah gave him.

Leon was silent for a moment.

Then....

take the pen. With steady and full of confidence, signed his letter of agreement. A sign that he is ready to carry out the mandate of the general. He will marry Aleta soon. Be the man Aleta can be proud of and the general believes in keeping the precious jewels of Mario and Sarah.
