THARN'S POV

"THARN, I AM PREGNANT."
Artia said on me, and I got happy for her.

"Wow! Finally.. Who's the lucky guy?" I excitedly ask. Finally she'll get over me.

"You! You are the father Tharn." her tears fell down.

"Wait.. What?! How? I mean.. When? Where?! I don't remember that I touched even a strand of your hair Artia. Don't make any story." I gritted my teeth, the enthusiasm I felt for her was replaced by disappointment and rage.

"R-remember the night you are in the club, you called the squad to join you.. I tagged along.. That night you argued with your father about getting masters degree.. That N-night Tharn, something happened." she stuttered when she saw my sharp glare.

"That's bullshit." I can't believe it. I did cheat on Type? How? I can't bring myself on thinking that I did it.

"I'm not forcing you to believe me. I am just telling you as the father."

"Don't tell that to anyone. I will go with you to the doctor and see if you are saying the truth. I will strangle you to death once I will found out that you lied."

That day, I didn't come home.
I know Type is waiting for me.
How can I tell him about it that even me myself I am not believing that I touched her?

She said that that night, I mistook her for Type. And it shook me to the core. Am I that drunk to be that stupid?

I am looking for the right timing when Type started to felt us drifting, much more when he read Artia's message. I almost lost myself and strangle her.
But Rain calmed me down.

How can I make myself clear If the situation wasn't in favor of me? How can I explain myself when each attempt I make to talk to Type, securities got me and throw me out.
I cannot even manage to find him, his parents hid him well.

I really wanted to talk to Type to clarify my self. I am sure that I am not the father because I didn't remember on touching her, ever.

Arisz, Artia's mother, talked to my dad, demanding my presence as the father of the fetus on her womb. Again.. My father got disappointed on me. He let me sign a contract saying that I will always be available for Artia' s need in exchange of not getting our family involved and our business. He said that it will tarnish our reputation because I committed an infedility and adultery.
I defended myself but no one believes me.

Days passed that I can't reach Type. I keep on drinking. To forget his happy image, to forget the memories. Why does everyone blames me? My dad, had me sign that agreement for my punishment as a TOTAL disgrace of the family.

That day IU got an accident,
Artia demanded on me to go with her again in the hospital for her monthly check up, I agreed because I want to visit IU.

A screeching car approached us, and I covered Artia's body, in instinct. I may believe that the child she's carrying was mine, but still what If?

She's hugging me while shaking in fear.
I calmed her down, the OB said that don't let her be stress, her pregnancy is weak.

Days passed again, I always wait for Type to get out of their villa. But nothing. I decided to go home on our matrimonial house. And what I saw, break me to hell.

DIVORCE PAPERS.

And a letter.

My hands are shaking when I read it. Type already signed it.
I get the letter and read it.

Tharn

Call me a coward, but I can't face you right now.. I need to fix myself. I am currently picking up the broken pieces of my all.. And try to fix it all together. I realized that I love you so much to the point that I got empty. Nothing left for myself.
We need to separate and grow individually. Be a good father to your baby. Hoping you all the best.
I love you,

Type.

I gripped the letter.

He decided to left me.

He got tired. I laughed a bit.
So this is the taste of Karma.

Bittersweet.

Through the months of Artia's pregnancy, I stay with her due to my wish.

I want a paternity test once the baby is born.

Everyone agreed, it is also Much better for myself.

I received a certain message from an unknown number.

"They are good at lying, check her once she thought that you are not around.. I hope you won't regret choosing her."

I felt my heart pumped.

Who is this?

That thought didn't leave my mind. So I acted sweet on Artia, and I act to accidentally to remove the maternity robe she's wearing. And what I saw shook me.

"What is this?!" I shouted at her and pulled it out of her body.

An artificial silicone belly!

My world crumbles apart.

Type left me.
And the baby that I learnt to keep and accept was fake.

"Let me explain Tharn..listen to me please."

"This is the last time that I will ket you fool me. I will kill you!"

Realization flooded into me.
From the start of our happy married life upto the divorce papers.

I wonder where he is right now.

I stop on a popular resort. I park my car and walk on the cliff. The water down there is inviting.

"I love you Type.. If I can't have you back.. I would rather die." I look at the blue water and I jump.

Aiming to end my life.
