              "True to my guess, Anton is really reliable, it turns out I lost quickly to him." Burhan murmured.

           Burhan immediately left the library. He walked towards his private office. He pulled out his cell phone and called the name on the phone.

          "Every boss, this is also again the work of the boss according to orders, we have important news about the boss about the young lady." 

           "Say.!"  

           "The young lady works as a secretary at the company of Dharmawangsa boss." Answer the voice across the phone.

            "If that's true, keep an eye on him lest my mother find out first. If there's a chance to kidnap her." Burhan Vocabulary .

         Burhan disconnects, his anger now exploding knowing that Sudirja's sole heir is still alive.

           "It could have messed up all my plans, if mom found out that Bram's son was alive. It will all be in vain what I have been doing all this time.

          Burhan's mind is now very depressed, he does not want all assets that are now managed will fall in the right hands.  He only wanted Celine who had to inherit all of Sudirja corp's treasures.

             "This is the coffee." 

         Maria put a cup of coffee on the family room table. There sat Baron leisurely, his cigarette puffing in the air filling the room. When Mary would set foot leaving the Baron . His steps came to a halt with the voice of the Baron calling out to him.

            "Maria wait. If you're good like this you'll want something from me.?" The Baron looked at Maria.

           "Tell me if I'm willing I'll grant you your request." Said the Baron who understood Mary's sweet attitude.

           "really.? Are you going to agree.?" Maria said worriedly.

            "Yes depends on your request.?" Baron said his eyes scanned Maria's body.

            "I want to go to my God's house to complain about all my anxieties. You know that I'm a child with no parents or brothers, with the kindness of lady Anita and Mr. Bram, she helped me regardless of who I am and what religion I belong to.?" Sick Mary.

             Mary's memory glazed over a few decades ago. Where Bram and Anita were having a charity at an orphanage ""BUNDA MARIA." At that time there was a fire in the house and the fire spread to the orphanage. Orphanage was not left behind engulfed the red hero. The orphanage was partly moved to several foundations owned by Sudirja and partly adopted by someone.  Maria who at that time had no place to live can only resigned to mourn the ruins of the former buildings that have been charred.

           And finally Anita offers a job to work at her home. To take care of Alya who was still a baby. At the age of no longer young Baron came to propose to him, at that time Baron was given the confidence of Bram to oversee his projects outside the city. Although they differed in their beliefs, the Baron continued to question Mary as his wife.

            "Well you can go. But you remember,!  never go to the Sudirja residence, otherwise you know for yourself the consequences.!" Baron said firmly.

           "I understand, trust me." Maria Say.

           Mary's heart was a little relieved, with her being able to leave the house to worship at the church she could ask her friend who lived not far from the church.

           Under the Alya's consciousness.

          "Alya, where are you going.?" Asked a white-robed man with that radiant and glowing face.

           "Here is not the way home.?" 

         Alya turned her head towards the source of the voice where now she did not recognize a place that was very foreign to her, but there were people calling her.

           "Who are you.? And where am I.? Why do you know me.?" Alya asked in surprise.

           "I am Alya's mother." The woman smiled at Alya.

            "Mother, really?" Why is it only now that I see you, Alya misses you so much."

              Alya approaches the woman who calls herself Alya's mother. Alya observed the woman's face every inch, the woman looked beautiful and radiant without the slightest flaw in her.

              "Come, son." 

        The woman spread out her hands to welcome Alya into her arms. Alya was like hypnotized running scattering into the woman's arms.

              "Mother, are you really my mother. Alya misses mom, Alya wants to come with me." Alya said in between her tears.

              "Hey.., don't cry, not yet when you follow your dear mother . You have to go home." Said the woman both of her hands wiping Alya's cheeks that were flooded with tears.

               "If you are my mother please let me come with you." Alya said in her sobs.

                "No Alya, you have to go home. Look there.!" 

         The woman pointed to the door where a man, holding a baby, was standing. Alya turned to the direction where the woman showed her finger. Alya was very surprised, with the sight before her. Adrian stands waiting for himself and holds a baby.
