*Cecilia PoV*
Today I saw my daughter was stiff. People came to greet me, hugged me while crying. What the hell's going on? I was confused myself too. I just kept quiet to see their behavior. My body no longer has a soul. My tears are dry. I've been crying all night. Now let those who come cry over my daughter's departure.
What's?! My daughter is dead? I still can't believe that. Just yesterday he said he wanted to go to the playground. His eyes sparkled as I agreed to his wish. Then why is he leaving now? 3 Days to the weekend. Mama promised to go there with you, son. Why are you leaving so soon? This is not fair. Why did I have to lose my daughter? Why not someone else? I can't take it anymore. My body feels heavy.
BRUUUUUKKKK
I collapsed back. For the umpteenth time I was unconscious.

*PoV* ladder*
Today me and some office employees came to visit Cecil's house. During the trip I was silent. I know exactly what happened yesterday. I drove him to the hospital. And also. my little debate with Alvian.
I've said something very strange. Why am I even talking about taking Cecil from Alvian?
I was just getting emotional at that moment. Because I saw Cecil being treated unfairly. And I also have to find out who that woman named Nayla is.
Arriving at Cecil's house, his house was crowded by the neighbors who joined the condolences. The house is quite large and can be said to be a luxury home. Well, Alvian is a public figure, there's no way he's got a small house.
I didn't see Cecil. Only a woman named Nayla sat next to Tasya's body.
I'm still curious about this woman. I looked around the house. I looked at one by one the family photos hanging on the wall. But there's no picture of Nayla there. Who her? Why the one who received the condolence speech was Nayla, not Cecil.
I heard their neighbors say that Cecil fell unconscious. It's been the umpteenth time. That's why he just rested in the room. I let out a long sigh. Of course Cecil was in shock. Which mother could lose her child.
Sayup-sayup was heard there were mourners who came with screaming sounds from the front of the house. He started to enter the house. And head straight for Nayla. She's a middle-aged woman in her 50s. Nayla got up from her seat. The woman slapped Nayla. Sontak made other mourners whisper.
"It's all because of you, isn't it? It was you who made my granddaughter die!!" Say the woman.
Oh, so she's Tasya's grandmother.
"From the very beginning you came to my daughter's home life, I already knew that you would want to destroy everything. You've taken my daughter's husband, and now you're taking her daughter's life, too. You perjakor!!!"
Whataa? The actor? Wait up!! Nayla this is the actor? I'm rattled. Same with all the mourners here.
She was the mother of Cecil. And he just came by now. Shouldn't relatives be contacted first in case of a disaster?
Alvian then came. He asked his mother-in-law to calm down. Not good with the mourners he said. The mother still did not accept Alvian's treatment of her.
"Can you not tell mom if anything happens to Tasya? You don't think of mom as Tasya's grandmother, do you? I know from someone else."
"I'm sorry, Mom. I hope you understand. It was a mess yesterday. Cecil also fainted several times. Please don't make a fuss here. We're all in mourning."
"You think mom's not sad? Tasya is the only mother's grandchild. And this actor has already made Tasya die."
Oh my God, I really like watching a scene in a soap opera. I want to feel like talking. But it will definitely add new problems here. It turns out this is what Cecil tried to cover.
"Mother please don't call Nayla that. Nayla has been guarding Tasya as well. And please don't scream here. Let's go in to see Cecil."
"Good job! You defend this actor! I purposely yelled here to let everyone know, if this woman, is your young wife."
I'm massaging my forehead. It feels dizzy to see this soap opera-like scene. And their debate ends, as a middle-aged man calms Alvian's mother-in-law. All the man knew was his older brother Alvian.
"Sister.." he said softly.
I glanced at him for a moment. "Why?" Reply lazily.
"I noticed, brother kept silent from now on. Did you really know about the matter at Bu Cecil's house?"
I glanced sharply at Danny. A sign that I don't like the questions he's asking. Well, I don't really know. But I'm suspicious. And it turns out my suspicions are true. Means all this time, Cecil was sad because of it. Yep, could be. Which woman can stand if she is being cheated.
Ah, marriage is complicated. That's why I don't want to get married even though I'm three heads.

Meanwhile, Radit, Hana and Amel are in one car. The three of them were also stunned to hear the reality revealed by Cecilia's mother.
They only found out that Cecil had been hiding Alvian's second marriage. Radit, who drives a car, can only speak a thousand languages. He was shocked to hear this truth.
While Amel recalls Cecil's strange attitude about a year ago.

*Flashback*
"Cil, what are you doing? What link are you reading? It seems so exciting that you don't hear me calling you."
Amel snatches the smart tablet from Cecilia's hands and reads Cecilia's search results.
"Polygamy? Why are you reading about polygamy?"
Cecil immediately reclaimed his smart tablet. "Bu-nothing. I just-want to know. I'm a convert, so I don't know much about this."
"Oh!! I think it's because Alvian wants to be polygamous. You take it easy, men like our husbands will never do polygamy. Trust me!!"
Cecilia simply smiled faintly at Amel's words.

"I remember when I saw Cecilia reading an article about polygamy on her tab. I think he's just curious because he's a convert. But it turns out, Alvian did do polygamy." Amel hugged Hana.
"What a pity Cecilia's fate. She had to share her husband with another woman." Amel cried while hugging Hana.
Radit's mind floated. He just stared ahead of the road. The woman he still loved, apparently carried a heavy burden. So far Radit thought, Cecilia depression only because of the burden of work. But it turns out he was wrong. Cecilia kept a big secret behind all her smiles.
