Chapter 22 – Feel Guilty.
"Who?". Asked Michael.
"He is your father, even though he brought Sophia to the hospital but he cruelly asked Sophia not to look for you anymore. Even though Sophia just lost her baby".
"Are you able to imagine how painful it is to lose herr husband, father and son?". Asked Amel with tears in her eyes, her heart hurt remembering that day because she always accompanied Sophia at that time.
"What did you say? Baby? Sophia is pregnant and the baby died?". Asked Michael in a hoarse voice. His gaze dimmed because he could already feel how suffering Sophia was at that moment.
"Is the child my son? When did it happen?". Asked Michael again impatiently.
"Your ignorance makes me look down on you". Amel said as she stood up from her seat.
Before Amel really left, she glanced at Michael and said one last time. "If it's not your child, then whose child do you think it is?".
After that, Amel left Michael alone.
While Michael was silent for a moment, he tried to digest what Amel told him.
After a long silence, Michael couldn't hold it in anymore, he rushed off without remembering Clara. Because he had to ask Sophia.
Meanwhile, Clara is annoyed that Michael isn't picking up the phone either. Therefore, she rushed home to complain to her parents.
In the middle of the road, Michael was driving his car at a crazy speed, with tears in his eyes, he imagined the pain that Sophia was going through. Instantly he was heartbroken at the thought of Sophia's suffering after he left.
"Shopia… I'm sorry! Even though I don't deserve your forgiveness but please allow me to atone for my mistakes!". Michael thought.
After thinking, Michael tried to contact Sophia.
"Hello?". Because she didn't save Michael's number, Sophia picked up the call casually.
Hearing Sophia's voice from the other side of the phone, his heart was getting sad and sore.
"Shopia…".
Hearing a familiar voice from the other end of the phone, Sophia's heart beat faster.
"Isn't this Michael's voice?" Inner Sophia.
"Sorry, you got it wrong!" After saying that, Sophia hung up the phone.
Michael's heart was getting tighter seeing Sophia's attitude which was increasingly showing her hatred.
"Oh my God… Sophia must really hate me, Sophia… I know I was wrong, but please don't act like this to me! Please forgive me!". Michael said with tears in his eyes.
Walton House.
Not long after, Michael arrived in front of his house. He took random parking in front of the house.
After that, he entered the house in a hurry.
Mrs. Anggi who saw her son's arrival with red eyes and pale face became panicked.
"What's wrong with Michael?". Mrs. Anggi thought anxiously.
"Mother, where is my father?". Michael asked with a terrible expression.
"In his study, are you …". Before Mrs. Anggi finished his words Michael went straight to his father's study office.
."Dad". Michael said after he made it into his father's room.
Mr. Walton immediately looked at his son with a smile. "Michael… Why did you come home early? Have you taken Clara home?".
Michael looked at his father with a terrible glare, his eyes were red from crying.
"Eight years ago, is it true that it was father who bumped into Sophia?". Michael asked expressionlessly.
Mr. Walton was surprised, a secret that only he and certain people know. How did Michael know? Could it be that he has met with Sophia? Mr. Walton thoughts while trying to calm down.
"I don't understand what you mean!". Mr. Walton turned his face away from Michael because he didn't want to answer the question. Michael whose answer he had buried for a long time.
With a deep and hoarse voice, Michael urged his father.
"I remember everything! So, please stop pretending! Father, I respectfully ask you, what have you done to Sophia and my son, why did you hide it from me?" Michael shouted.
Mrs. Anggi, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between her son and her husband, was immediately shocked. She was shaking and worried.
"Oh. gosh… Michael had it all figured out. Not only that, he also knows about Sophia and her child. How is this?". Mrs. Anggi with a thought shudder.
Meanwhile, Mr. Walton's face turned sinister.
"Have you met the woman? So what did she complain to you about? She slandered me? Don't you know that she is a curse to you. So why are you approaching her again? Is this why you came back to this country?". Mr. Walton asked.
"Shopia isn't that kind of woman!". Michael said, clenching his fists.
"If she's not that kind of person, why did she seduce and frame you all those years ago? you want to marry her and …"
"I told you she's not that kind of girl, I asked her to marry me because I love her". Michael said, interrupting his father's words.
"Whatever you think. I don't have time to talk about unimportant things. If you still want to live in this country, you should focus on your wedding plans with Clara. Otherwise, I have no choice but to take you back to London". After saying that, Mr.. Walton left Michael alone in his study.
