A Heart Bond

DNA test

The depths of the ocean can be measured, the depths of the heart who knows. As if it is a phrase that represents the mystery of the owner of the taste. To be a reminder to us, that no one knows for sure what someone's heart is.

Niko was driving forward with a slightly shaking feeling. There was an unusual taste in his heart.

"What if they find out that the one who killed Father was Mr Dean's man?" Niko was worried.

"Ah, I don't need to think about that. Most importantly, now I must immediately tell the possibility to the Master and Madam." Imbuh Niko in between his driving focus.

Niko hastened the speed of her vehicle. He was very impatient to say the news that is still a mystery that quite stuck his heart, to Jonathan and Jelita.

There was a glimmer of hope in Niko's heart. She really hopes Rissa is Dean's daughter. Because he knew for himself, how Dean could love Rissa so much for no good reason.

"*Could it be because of the bond of heart between Mr Dean and Rissa*?"

Niko tries to contact her subordinates to ascertain where Jonathan and Jelita are now. Because he had seen Jonathan and Jelita in the hotel ballroom.

"Good afternoon, Mrs!" Sapa Niko was friendly when she was confronted by Jonathan and Jelita at the residence of Diedrich

"Nik afternoon! How are you?" Jonathan was friendly.

"I'm good Mr."

"Sit down! There's something you want to say, right?" Terka Jonathan's.

"Yes, sir."

"How company? No problem, right?"

"No Sir. Everything went well."

"How's your wife?" Ask Jelita suddenly.

"He's also a good Mistress." Answer Niko honestly.

"What do you want to say?" Ask Jelita again.

"I'm sorry Mr and Mrs before for saying this." Niko said.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jonathan was curious.

"It's about Miss Naina and her daughter, Rissa." Answer Niko quickly.

"What's wrong with them? What about Rissa and Delvin's truth? If that's the case, we already knew it at the hotel." Terka Jelita's.

"It has to do with that, Madam."

"You mean?" Jelita asked confused.

"Sorry Sir, Madam! Could it be, Rissa is Mr Dean's daughter?" Niko hesitated.

Jonathan and Jelita try to digest and understand Niko's sentence. They were trying to understand the meaning of what Niko said.

"Why did you say that?" Jonathan asked curiously.

"Is it because Rissa was similar to Rhea as a child?" Imbuh Jelita understands.

"That's also something that Madam needs to consider."

"Is there anything else you know?" Jelita began to want to know.

"Yes, Madam."

Niko then recounted her meeting with Rendi at Naina's house earlier. He also tells what Rendi told Jonathan and Jelita.

"Lantas, what does this have to do with Dean and Rissa?" Sela Jelita's.

"Because Mr. Dean asked me to kill Hartono and his men back then. And he was the pimp who made a deal with Miss Rhea's house, to exchange the position of the woman who accompanied Delvin that night with him." Obviously Niko.

"Rhea?" Jelita said in disbelief.

"yes Madam. And I think it was Miss Naina who accompanied Mr. Dean that night at the Rose Gold Hotel. Because according to Rendi, that night there were only two people who hired women from Hartono to be taken out of the club. And they both booked a room at the Rose Gold Hotel. And Rendi already knows the identity of one of those men, Mr. Delvin." Obviously Niko.

Jonathan and Jelita are silent at Niko's explanation. They try to better understand what Niko is saying.

"Then, why doesn't Naina recognize Dean? There's no way he's just forgotten about it, is he?" Jelita asked confused.

"I heard, Miss Naina couldn't see clearly without the glasses back then. And accidentally, he dropped his glasses just before meeting Mr. Dean. So, Miss Naina doesn't know Mr. Dean's face clearly."

"OK, I know about Naina's vision condition. But why doesn't Dean remember Naina? He has a very good memory, doesn't he?" Challenge Jelita.

Niko fell silent. He has also been trying to figure out the answer to that question ever since. But he has not found the answer yet.

"I don't know why, either, Madam. But, maybe we can find the answer after saying this to Mr. Dean Madam." Niko's Proposal.

"Don't tell Dean! Whatever it is." Reject Jelita firmly.

Jonathan and Niko looked at Jelita questioningly.

"But Madam," Sela Niko was not willing.

"Don't tell him anything! I'll investigate everything first!" Sahut Jelita sure.

Niko and Jonathan smiled slightly.

"Good Mistress." Answer Niko obediently.

Niko was already quite relieved to hear Jelita's reply. His heart was quite calm after saying everything and getting a good response from Jonathan and Jelita.

Now, Niko just needs to wait for the results of the investigation of Jelita and his men. An investigation into some of the oddities revealed by Niko earlier. Niko then reported some things about the company to Jonathan.

On the other hand, when the moon and stars have graced the dark sky, the sounds of night animals have enlivened the atmosphere. Greet the inhabitants of the earth with their sweet voices.

Naina is still unable to fall asleep, when the night has rolled with all its beauty. He had not been able to rest his mind, who still could not find an answer to the time-consuming question from earlier.

"Oh my God, how else should I be?" Naina muttered alone on the back porch.

"Face Na!" Lea answered suddenly.

Naina immediately turned her head to the source of the voice, which turned out to be still standing in the middle of the door. Leah stood with Hera in the doorway behind Naina's house. They also have not been able to rest themselves for worrying about Naina.

"Lea's sister Hera hasn't slept?" Naina asked pleasantries, in order to cover up her heartbreak.

"You think we're slackers? Can you sleep on the road anywhere?" Cibir Leah walked towards Naina.

Naina smiled a little. He then lowered his head again, as Lea and Hera were already sitting on the other seats on the back porch.

"We did Na's DNA test on Rissa!" Hera's Proposal.

"What do you mean by Hera?" Naina asked confusedly.

"We did a DNA test on Rissa and the guy!" Hera answered with confidence.

"Na Dean." Lea replied a little annoyed.

"What's Ma'am for?"

"To find out who Rissa Na's father is."

"No Ma'am. Naina wouldn't do that!" Answer Naina bitterly.

"Don't tell me, you haven't thought about that since?" Challenge Lea.

Naina's speechless. His tongue was suddenly confused by hearing Leah's words. He could not answer the question Leah said, even if it was just a lie.

Naina can not be denied, that's what has filled her mind since. Confused him for not finding the answer.

"Could Dean be Rissa's father?"

Similarity in terms of physical and nature. Until the closeness of Dean and Rissa that seems very natural and like having a long-established heart bond. However, their introduction had not been long.

"I can't do that, Ma'am." Answer Naina lirih.

"Why Na?" Ask Hera disagreed.

"I can't Ma'am! That's all." Naina replied a little forcefully.

"What is the reason Na? Don't you want to know who Rissa's biological father is?" Lea Cecar.

"I want Mommy, very want. I want to know who Mr. D is also Rissa's father."

"Then, do Na! There's no harm in us doing a DNA test on Dean, is there? A lot of the strangeness between Dean and Rissa is too hard for Na to explain." Lea was a little angry.

"I'm just not ready to know the outcome" Ma'am." Naina answered, starting to sob.

"You mean?"

"If the test results don't match, where should I go to find Rissa's father? I don't know his real face or name at all. In fact, Mr. Rendi doesn't even know who he is."

"And if the results match, what should I do after that? Mama Lita was very disappointed in me. She definitely won't accept me and Rissa later. Then, how should I face Rissa Ma'am? How do I explain to her, if her grandmother doesn't accept her because of her mother's past that her grandmother didn't expect?"

"I wouldn't be able to say that to Rissa Ma'am! I've let Rissa down all this time, by covering up the truth from her. I won't be able to let him down again because of that!"

Naina started crying. His heart felt so worried about the problems he was facing. The dilemma is quite heavy makes him vent his sense of sadness with tears that always faithfully accompany him.

Lea immediately approached Naina. He held her and hugged Naina tightly. He let Naina spill all her heart through his tears that had not been wet since when Naina's cheeks without permission.

Lea and Hera understand Naina's heartbreak. They could understand, the sense of indecision that Naina was feeling right now. They were quite confused in regards to what Naina said earlier.

Long enough Naina cried in Lea's arms. Slowly, the crying began to subside. He began to be able to control his feelings that had lost control.

"Do Na! At least we know the outcome. Whatever it is." Hera said after Naina started to calm down a bit.

"Naina please Ma'am, don't force Naina again!" Reject Naina hard.

"Are you sure Na?" Challenge Lea.

"Enough Ma'am! Naina doesn't want to talk about this anymore!" Naina snapped while standing up for a moment.

Lea and Hera are shocked to see Naina's reaction. They looked at Naina in confusion.

"Naina come in first Ma'am, take a break!" Naina's voice is fast.

Naina immediately left Lea and Hera on the back porch just like that. Lea and Hera did not prevent Naina in the least. They let Naina rest tonight. Because they know so well, how Naina feels now.

...****************...

A bright morning. The sun's warm rays, peeling gently between the cold morning air that still remains. Give warmth to every taste, which begins to arrange pieces of despair in order to start the day to pick up the good in every destiny that has been engraved.

A week had passed already, after a day that Naina had never expected. During this one week, Naina and Rissa were only at home. They are difficult to get out of the house, because of the news circulating on the internet and television.

Naina had to do her work from home for one week. While Rissa, had to follow the learning from home because she was reluctant to go to school.

The Lea and Hera families had returned to Lombok three days ago. Only Sekar remains, who is now staying at Naina's house. William had returned to America first, because he had to take care of his work.

"Delvin's? Why'd he call her early in the morning?" Naina muttered after reading the name on her phone screen that was ringing.

"Why hasn't the phone been answered?" Ask Sekar curious while cleaning the dining table with Atun.

"From Delvin's mother'."

"Judah answer me! Doesn't it hurt to just answer the phone?" Sahut Sekar relax.

Naina just nodded. He also approved the word sekar. Naina immediately grabbed her phone that was on the dining table.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Why Del?" Say Naina when the call is connected.

"Wa'alaikumussalam Na's. How are you Na?"

"Good."

"Rissa. How's things going?"

"Alhamdulillah is good too."

"Can we meet Na?"

"What's wrong?"

"Something I want to tell you."

"Say now!"

"I want to say it directly. I want to apologize to you."

"I've forgiven you."

"I want to say it directly Na. And there are a few things I want to explain to you. I promise, it won't take long for that."

Naina's speechless. He tried to guess what Delvin wanted to explain to him. He also tried to make the best decision.

"alright. Cafe Tale. Tomorrow noon, eleven o'clock."

"Thank you Na. I'll see you there tomorrow!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Alright Na, I hung up! See you tomorrow afternoon."

Naina just kept quiet and didn't answer. And before long, the call was immediately ended by Delvin just like that.

Naina is actually very reluctant to meet with Delvin. But, he tried to welcome Delvin's goodwill to apologize to him. So, he accepted Delvin's invitation to meet tomorrow afternoon. And of course, to end all the good and bad things that ever happened between them.
