A Love That Will Not Change

Ayah

Shortly thereafter, Maya appears before them. Although the woman was terrified, she was forced to ask herself to meet the men. In this precarious situation, it turned out that in his heart he still remembered to pray to his Lord.

Maya looks towards Stephen. The man looked as if he was about to pounce on her and swallow her whole. Maya stepped down while bowing her head. Maya sits on an empty sofa. Trying hard but body shaking.

" Mrs Maya....! stephen's voice was firm and characterful. Hearing that voice Maya was terrified and wanted to bury herself in the grave alone.

" We don't need to explain what we came here for. You know and understand, right? continued one of Stephen's men.

" We hope you are ready to work together! he continued then firmly and with a threat.

" I don't understand what you mean? deny Maya pretend.

In this tense and frightening condition, his brain is still working to tell lies.

" You don't have to pretend you don't know what we mean. Obviously you have committed a criminal act by making false documents.! Hearing the explanation of Stephen's letter made Maya's guts become shrivelled.

" Damn..... Where do they know if the document is fake.? rutuk Maya in his mind.

" What documents do you mean? maya denies trying to cover up her lies.

" The documents of the Mateo custody letter you brought are false. Our officials have checked it in the court office, the letter was never issued by the court at all. Which means you have falsified the document.! said the man very convincingly.

Maya's face turned deathly pale with fear. He never thought his actions would be exposed so soon. The plans that are still in process will never happen. It will only be a plan.

There was an incoming message on Stephen's phone. Stephen checked it out immediately. Message from his men.

" Mister, we've found the boy. Safe in our hands!

The sound of the message.

" Take the boy here immediately! reply Stephen through his cell phone.

Five minutes later Stephen's men appeared with Mateo.

The boy looked pale and thin. His eyes were not as bright as before when he was with Sophia.

Seeing Stephen there, Mateo immediately ran over and hugged the handsome man.

Stephen returned Mateo's embrace warmly, gently and affectionately. Mateo is very happy, feels safe and comfortable.

Seeing the heartwarming scene turned out to be able to disturb Maya's heart. It looks like the net is glazed. But that feeling was only a moment. Seconds later...

" This is my chance! his cunning brain started playing.

" Dear Mateo, are you happy to meet your real father? I'm glad you could see your real father again. Forgive me for just meeting you now ! Maya's drama is so great and slick. I don't know what his brain is made of so he can think of the idea just now.

Stephen was surprised by the serpent woman's words. He was able to make a state as if turning to him.

And Mateo who did not understand the meaning of his mother's words tried to understand it in his little brain.

Maya started her acting again.

" Mom's been waiting for this day to happen. All this time I always try so that you can immediately meet your real father. But there are many obstacles that you have to go through. My mother has suffered so much.! Maya showed a grin on her face. Falsity smile.

Stephen looked at that face with a sharp glare. He wanted to eliminate the woman in front of him. Why was he able to relate to a woman like her?

Mateo loosened his embrace from Stephen. His views shifted to Maya. He had a question mark on his face after listening to his mother.

" What does mother mean? Who is Mateo's real father?

Maya smiles happily because her son calls her mother.

" Dear Mateo, the man in front of you right now is your real father. Mr. Stephen Wijaya, he's your real father, Mateo Michael Wijaya.! All of Maya's words are true. In this case he is not lying.

Mateo looked at Stephen's face. Ask for an explanation from his side.

Stephen took his breath. In fact, his heart was happy to know that Mateo was his biological child. But there is a block in his heart because the birth of the child occurred because of a mistake. How would Mateo feel if he knew the truth? Why is he in this world.? It was not because of the love between his mother and father. But because only a momentary lust is undesirable.

Had Mateo asked what really happened, what would he have to answer? That kid will definitely get hurt.

Stephen grabs Mateo's body and embraces him in his arms.

"Dear mateo, forgive me for letting Mateo alone. I'm sorry I was never there to look after and protect Mateo. But Mateo should know that you love Mateo very much. I really love Mateo. Just like Mama Sophia who always loved Mateo! Stephen tried to give understanding to the boy.

Hearing the name Sophia mentioned by Stephen, Maya becomes angry and does not accept, because Mateo's birth mother is she is not Sophia. She who conceived Mateo for 9 months and gave birth to him with full struggle between life and death.

" I'm her real mother. I conceived her and gave birth to her, why should Sophia receive that honor.? Maya's expression was emotional and angry.

" If you were a good mother, you wouldn't throw away your own child.! Stephen reminded him of what he had done to Mateo all along.

"I never threw away my son. That was my mother's doing. Not me! Maya tries to defend herself by throwing blame at her own mother.

" You don't have to defend yourself with lies. Anyone know what kind of mother you are? For the sake of money and luxury you are willing to throw away your own child that you think can only harm you.! said Stephen. And again, again,

" And now you're trying to take Mateo from Sophia after finding out that Mateo can make a lot of money. You plan to use Mateo to get money from me. Because you're sure that I will accept Mateo as my son, because Mateo is my flesh and blood. Because the Vijaya Family will never reject his own flesh and blood. That's your plan, right? Maya was silent listening to all of Stephen's words. He was speechless no more. Because what the man said was reality.

" Dear Mateo, now we go home, Mama Sophia miss Mateo very much. Mama Sophia must be so happy.! Stephen carried her and took her away from there. Maya could only be silent. Totally helpless. Stephen's men are still there.

One of them pulled out a check and handed it to Maya. It says there is a nominal amount of one hundred million rupiah.

" Mister Stephen will no longer count with you. Let's just say this problem is over. And you don't have to worry because you as the birth mother of Young Master Mateo you deserve it!

Maya looked up at that amount of money. He did not expect that he would earn that much money. He thought he would get nothing. It was unexpected that Stephen still had a conscience.

Maya just silently looked at the check in her hand. But his heart was cheering for the huge amount of money. Of course he didn't show it in front of them. No matter how greedy he was, he still had some shame.

The men resign and leave Maya still silent in her own mind. But after a while, when the people were no longer visible there, Maya immediately jumped up and excited. He ran there in the closet dancing like a madman who lost consciousness.

If filmed and shared via social media will definitely go viral and become a topic tranding.

Stephen and Mateo, who were sitting in the car to Stephen's house, sat silent, silent without any conversation between them. They don't seem to know where to start talking. The father and son did have almost the same nature and character.

For some reason, there is tension and disdain within them. Once the truth has been revealed like something's stuck in their hearts. Stiff and confused. Perhaps it was because it was still a little shocked by the reality he had just heard. The person who had been near him, who had been considered like his own father because of the affection in his heart. But after knowing the fact that the man is actually his real father feels very different.

Maybe it was just a momentary feeling of being surprised.

Stephen then grabbed Mateo by the shoulder and brought him closer to him. Mateo complied with his father's actions.

Wrap the boy's head with affection. Mateo enjoyed his father's treatment.

Because in his deepest little heart, Mateo is very happy to know that Stephen is his biological father. But he could not ignore the fact that his father had once allowed him to live in suffering. And she needs an explanation for why her father ever left her?
