[6: 3 months]
-Alisha's Pov-
"President Han, you might be mistaken. This is my house, and I'm sure I don't have a husband!" I said.
Are you crazy?! You just enter someone else's house! And you have the audacity to mention a 'wife'! If you weren't a president, I would have kicked you out of my apartment!
And why did Alas let him in? He doesn't even let Dustin in if I'm not here.
"Mommy, President Han has something to say to you! I'll just go to my room!" Alas shouted before closing his bedroom door.
That kid. He left me here! What if... did Alas sell me?! Whaa, impossible, my baby loves me so much!
I sat on the sofa, and President Han sat across from me.
"What would you like to talk about?" I politely asked, forcing a fake smile.
He's the president, I can't offend him in any way. Hopefully, he has nothing bad in mind because he's wealthy, and he wouldn't steal anything from our house.
He smiled at me and handed me some documents.
My eyes widened when I saw the contents. A paternal test for President Han and Alas?
Probability of Paternity: 99.999998%.
My heart dropped...
He is the father of Alas?!
My worst fear has come true. Alas's father came to take him away from me. What chance do I have against a president?
"That night... you're that man, right?" I asked him, my voice trembling.
I restrained myself from tearing up the paper he handed me.
Why? Why did he come back?!
The man who ruined everything for me. And now he's back to take Alas away from me.
"Yes... back then, I came back for you, but you were already gone. I looked for you until now. Then our son showed up and told me everything."
I smiled bitterly at his words.
"Our son?! For five years since you appeared, everything has been ruined because of you! And now you still have the audacity to call him your 'son'?! Do you know the hardship I went through when I was pregnant with him? My family disowned me, I had nothing! Especially when I gave birth to him, I didn't even have time to recover because I still needed to work just to provide everything for MY son!" I yelled at him, standing up from my seat.
I endured all the pain and hardship because I had no one else to rely on. And now he comes here like nothing happened and claims my child?!
I wanted to shout at him, but I restrained myself from exploding with anger because I didn't want Alas to hear me.
"Where do you get the courage to show up here again? My son only needs me. Just go home, President Han. As far as I know, your son is not here."
I was about to leave, but he grabbed my arm.
"That's why I want to make it up to you, Alisha. I want to fulfill every responsibility I left! Believe me, I've been looking for you! I never stopped looking for you. If I only knew that you got pregnant, do you really think I would let you and our child live in such harsh conditions?" he said, and I withdrew my hand.
"You're too late. I can take care of Alas even if I'm alone. It's not necessary for you to make it up to us." I said, and he stood up too.
His stare pierced through my soul.
"Marry me. Move into my house with our son."
I furrowed my brows at his words. He wants to marry me for what? To get Alas more easily?!
"Are you out of your mind? I won't marry you. And I won't move in with Alas. I won't give my child to you. So, President Han, can you please leave?" I said.
I don't know where I got the courage to kick Aushi out. Even if he can easily take Alas away from me with just a wave of his hand. All I know is that I'm really angry at him.
I was surprised when he grabbed my hand and suddenly knelt in front of me.
What is he doing? Why is he kneeling?! And is he crying?!
"Give me 3 months, Alisha."
What?!
"Marry me, move into my house with our son, and give me 3 months to prove that we can have a happy life. 3 months to prove to you that I can be a good and responsible father to Alas. 3 months to prove to you that I can be a gentle and loving husband. If I can't prove everything I said within 3 months, then divorce me," he said while still kneeling.
Happy life. Father. Husband.
I looked up to prevent my tears from falling.
I-I am too selfish. I only think of myself. I didn't even think about Alas's feelings.
He wouldn't have looked for Aushi if he didn't want to see him. He wants to feel what it's like to have a father.
Even though Aushi has flaws, I feel that he really wants to make up for them. He even kneeled in front of me just to beg for a chance. He could have just ignored us and not bother us. But he goes all the way here, kneels in front of me, and begs for a chance to prove himself.
This is what I wanted for Alas a long time ago. To have a happy family.
I looked at Aushi, who was waiting for my answer.
"Alright, I'll give you 3 months."
Whether this turns out well or not, I'm happy that Alas will finally experience what he's been longing for.
