              "Adrian, I'm asking you to come home now, there's something important you want to ask me." Vera's mom said across the phone.

             "Adrian's still out of town ma." Answer Adrian 

             "Oh, out of town, it's good if you don't come home mommy who's gonna catch up with you."

              Pouch .

         The call was interrupted, Adrian felt the heat of his mother's anger. Not knowing for sure Adrian is very agitated with the attitude of his mother who suddenly forces him home. Just now Adrian wants to step foot into his work room, Adrian steps stopped because his phone reads the incoming message notification.

          Adrian's eyes are perfectly rounded, he stared fixedly at the picture inside his phone.

              "Where did you get this picture from.?" Adrian muttered.

             Adrian turned his steps. He rushed to his car park.

              Braaks..

          Puspa threw out his workbook. Puspa who had been watching Adrian enter his room had to leave again after receiving a call. 

             "It's been a week or so without, uh go again." It's all because of Alya, no matter how I got rid of him.

             "Puspa, is Adrian in his room.?" Ask Bayu who suddenly appeared 

             "What.?"  Mr. Adrian has come but gone again." Answer Puspa nervously.

              Bayu scrunched his forehead astonishedly staring at Puspa. Like someone hiding something.

               "Why are you.?" Seeing me is like seeing a demon." Ask Bayu.

             "I'm just surprised sir." Reply Puspa trembled.

           Puspa was indeed very surprised by the presence of Bayu , who suddenly appeared before him. He was very afraid that Bayu heard his words.

            Bayu scratched his head that did not feel itchy because he had received a call from Aunt Vera to tell Adrian to go home. Bayu immediately left Puspa. Puspa was astonished by the behavior of the boss, and his cousin today.

              Adrian parked his car, for a moment he glanced at the door of his house. He took a deep breath to break his nervousness. Adrian can already guess for this time there must be a very great war , it will be even greater than yesterday . He realized his lie had been exposed, out of nowhere his mother got the photo that clearly he had this time he had to be ready to face it.

                Adrian got out of his car, slowly entered his house, and sure enough two beautiful angels were already waiting for his arrival, the first very sour face welcome he got.

            "Adrian, try to explain what this all means.?"  And , who is this woman lying down.?Mama Vera's words exploded - explosive.

             Adrian is just silent, he is trying to find the right answer to answer his mother's question. Staring at his mother, clearly visible anger in the look in his eyes.

            "Mama knows everything Adrian. This woman made you leave your engagement that night, didn't she.?"  

            Apparently Vera's mother after getting the photo, she immediately hired people to investigate Adrian's whereabouts. And sure enough, after investigating Adrian who is responsible for all the costs Alya. Adrian calls himself the patient's husband.

             "Now what.?" Is that really your son.?" Do you want to marry her.?" Mama Vera said with a blasphemous look.

             Adrian was surprised to hear the words of his mother. Adrian took a deep breath to unravel his thoughts, he thought from where his mama knew everything. He let his mother vent her anger.

             "You're really outrageous Adrian, mama's disappointed in you. You can do this with Mom." 

           "Are you going to marry that woman.?" Ask mom Vera.

            Adrian nodded his head steadily as the answer. Immediately, oma Jayanti and mama Vera, her eyes widened, surprised by Adrian's reply.

           "What.?" Are you not sane." Have you considered everything." Ask abouta Jayanti.

           "If mom and mom already know what to do, Adrian explain everything." Answer Adrian.

          Now Adrian is relaxed as if the problem at hand is not a big problem, he tries to hide his nervousness. 

           Mama Vera was really given a headache with her son's behavior. The laid back attitude Adrian showed made him out of sense to scold him.

           "Mama will never acknowledge him as the son-in-law of Dharmawangsa until anytime.!" 

           "Ma, that's Adrian's son, even if Adrian has to take responsibility.!" Adrian said 

           "But , there's no need to marry her. Just give compensation every month will be in order." 

            "Are you sure it's your son.   Isn't she the night woman you've hired." 

                Degh's..

           Adrian's heart rate is racing. He was very surprised, his mother's speech was really loud to Adrian from where his mother knew all.

             "Where did you know.?" Ask Adrian.

              "Why are you surprised.?" 

              "Yes, mama knows all Adrian, Puspa tells all, the woman used to be Puspa's neighbor, she was a cheap woman." 

             "When yesterday came to the house he delivered important papers for you to sign." Mama Vera answered as her hand grabbed some maps from the buffet and handed them to Adrian.

            Adrian clenched his hand his jaw hardened withstanding the now turbulent fury. Now Adrian can draw the conclusion of his mother's anger is not without cause from himself alone.

           "Please Adrian, think of this all well, our good name will be tarnished if you marry that woman." Oma Jayanti said accompanied by her sobs.

          "But Alya isn't like that, oma, mama, she's a good girl." Adrian stared at each other.

          "If she's a good girl, she won't sell herself, Adrian. Just this time, please think clearly."  Mama Vera said.

           Mama Vera's anger is now starting to subside, she thinks Adrian if until he is still rude, Adrian will do reckless.

           Silent. I just heard sobs of oma and mama Vera. Adrian tries to rethink, is it right with his actions, but his little heart can not ignore Alya and his son. He thought about his son, Adrian did not want his son to grow up with a lack of affection from both parents.

           "Oma, mama, give Adrian time to think, what decision will Adrian take." Adria rubbed her face rough.

           There's no answer. Oma got up from her seat and went into her room. Mama Vera stared fixedly at Adrian who was sitting opposite to him. Can not he imagine if he had to have a daughter-in-law of a woman at night, that's the way the thought of Mama Vera, he would not be willing if Adrian had to marry the woman.

            ******

          Puspa entered his house with a myriad of annoyances that he felt at this moment. His heart's intention was to approach Adrian, but Adrian did not even give a chance to him. 

               Brugh

          Puspa threw his sling bag in any place. It looks like his face is angry.

         "You're why Puspa.?" Ask Maria.

           "Yes, just came angry. " Tampal Barons.

           There is no word from Puspa. He walked to the dining table where Mary and the Baron were sitting.

         "Say, your father has a problem." Baron.

         "All the ideas, which I gave you already Puspa run , but is there no result.?" Puspa said annoyed.

        The baron who understood his daughter's mood walked over to Puspa.

          "You must be patient, as if you were fishing for a fish, the bait you gave it had not been eaten, if it had been eaten there was no way the fish would not have hit the hooks' eyes." Said Baron as his hand patted Puspa's shoulder.

          "But when will Adrian know that Puspa loves him, sir.?" 

         "Mother, remind Puspa, do not justify all means to get something." Or you will regret it. Maria said in an explanation.

           "Mother, if it can't help it, it's best to be quiet." Puspa doesn't like mom's opinion." Puspa uttered an annoyed snort.

         Maria can only be silent with the attitude of Puspa, the nature of Puspa and Alya is very much different , if Alya is a gentle woman , unlike Puspa since his father spoiled him Puspa turned arrogant and haughty.

             "You don't have to interfere with Mary, you better shut up." Baron snarled at Maria 

          Mary took a deep breath, her heart was completely heartbroken watching the child and her husband not appreciate it. It feels like he ran away and found Alya's whereabouts. But where will he look for her.

           Mary got up from her seat, she went into her room. His heart was in complete pain, watching the behavior of the two people he deeply cared about. Mary went to her wardrobe, she took the cross necklace and kissed it.

            "Oh my god" our heavenly father, please keep Alya wherever she is now , I miss her so much. I know, he wasn't born from my womb, but he's like my son." Mary said, kissing her cross. It didn't feel like tears had washed his cheeks.
