Behind the Rain and Memories

49. Three years passed

The hustle and bustle of workers preparing all the needs of the party in a hotel ballroom makes a woman with a knee-length dress with a polkadot motif feel dizzy. Slowly he grabbed a chair so that his body would not be shaken along with a man who came to give a bottle of mineral water. The woman looked up and smiled embarrassedly.

"Still, "he said softly while accepting and then opened the bottle cap and gulped the contents up to half. The man who was still standing shook his head.

" Your bad habits should be discarded immediately, busy may be but do not be lazy until you forget to drink, "the snoring is not happy.

This was not the first time she had received a scolding from her husband. He likes to be inattentive to health. Especially if he is bothered, to just drink he is reluctant.

" I just can't wait, it's Moza's first birthday, I want everything to look perfect, " said the woman happily, a twinkle in her eyes radiating happiness.

The man understood, the last three years have been a difficult time so it is only natural that his wife is very enthusiastic.

" Is there anything still needed?I gotta get back to work,"

The woman shook her head, "99 percent is done, "

The man left after peeping his wife's forehead. The woman blushed with the treatment of her husband. A warm feeling spread in his heart.

" It's 4pm, don't be late! " the woman reminded. The man gave a thumbs up sign he was coming in time.

The woman was none other than Gladys, who was now the mistress of Orion. No man can guess how his life is going. Includes Gladys.

Three years pass full of life drama, not only about the pandemic that suddenly strikes, also how destiny plays a role.

Still fresh remembered when she got news Alina disappeared while she was declared pregnant. He was devastated, not knowing what to do. Desperate, Gladys nearly concedes a life. But God still saves. Namira finds a bottle of sleeping pills that she bought illegally. Namira gave it to Tirta. Of course his older brother was suspicious. Gladys could not dodge either.

Tirta immediately went to the Orion family mansion to hold the promised accountability without caring if the family was grieving for Alina's departure. Tirta is not without empathy, it is Alina who helped them a lot during this time. But Gladys condition can not wait, there must be a clear decision, Tirta does not want his sister to repeat the bad intentions as before.

Luckily Orion's parents were very wise, in the midst of the grief experienced by their second son, they still continued the marriage of Orion and Gladys even though in a simple way without excessive parties like famous people. The Gladys were not at issue and were very understanding of the situation.

The first year passed heavily, even though she was already a wife, Gladys still did not get a place in Orion's heart. Gladys tried to accept sincerely. She was just focusing on her pregnancy, and carrying out her new role well. They live in a mansion with Orion's parents. Mommy and Papi are very caring, considerate with Gladys. That was more than enough even though Gladys was hoping to get it all from her husband. Perhaps due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, Gladys really wanted to be close to Orion, but the man always kept his distance. Gladys could only resign.

Until their daughter is born, Orion shows a change. The man began to pay attention and also loved Moza very much. Moza's presence brings a breath of fresh air to the relationship. Slowly but surely, Gladys and Orion are getting closer. Viruses that spread in various parts of the world make them spend more time at home. It was then that the seeds of love grew to greet.

In contrast to Gladys and Orion, Maxime lost hope. From the first Alina left. Max tried with all his might to find the whereabouts of his soulmate. Various ways are done so that Alina's brothers open their voices, unfortunately the results are nil. Both of Alina's sisters were unmoved and the search was fruitless as well. With the closing of the entrance of all countries makes it difficult for Max to trace Alina's trail. I don't know where Ranti's mother took her daughter, until a Maxime was unable to find her.

Max was devastated, he turned completely into an untouched cold figure. The focus is only on work, tirelessly. Maybe that's the way to move on. As parents, Hardi and Widyawati are certainly very worried about seeing the state of their youngest son. They continue to approach and try to make Max accept the situation. Countless girls are trying to introduce Max. Always a failure, let alone give a response to the beautiful girls who come, Max did not even look at it.

" In my life there's only Alina, I beg you to understand papi and mommy not to make an arranged marriage or I'm also gone from your lives, "

his emphasis was full.

Hardi and Widyawati could only sigh. Max's character is very harsh so they don't take it personally. Max is not wrong, it is their misunderstanding that makes Max angry. Only prayer can they give, may there be a miracle in their son's life.

Hardi is not just silent, all this time he also helped look for the existence of their future daughter-in-law. He even intimidated Alina's sisters. Just like before, both of Alina's sisters were so firm in silence. Even Audrey lashed out at Hardi, insisting they would report Max's family to the police for disturbing the peace.

Besides the accident and the disappearance of Alina is not without cause, there is still a connection with the emergence of their son-in-law Bryan, who is the husband of Adinda and also Alina's former fiancee.

Hardi and his extended family finally found out the real problem. They don't think everything is intertwined.

They are shocked to learn that Bryan is Alina's fiancee who faked death in order to marry Adinda. And even more surprised by the reason Bryan did it all. My sister got pregnant because of her actions. How it all happened is still a question mark because Bryan did not explain in detail. According to the information they got Bryan wasn't a wild man. She loves Alina so much and the reason the man faked death is to always live in Alina's memories.

" Mr Gladys! " one exclaimed, returning Gladys consciousness from the past story, she turned her head towards the direction of the voice. Lisa, the hotel manager, walked over.

" I'm looking for Gladys in the room, I don't know it here" Lisa said

" Yes mbak, I want to see the results of the decoration afraid there is less, what is it mbak Lisa?" reply Gladys friendly.

" I just asked if widya's mother had said that the catering is not in the hotel chef's handle because again full booking mbak, I diverted to catering my friend, I, widya's mother has tried her food tester yesterday and she likes it, but mbak Gladys has not tried it, is it okay? " lisa explained.

" No papa mbak, mommy's taste is never wrong, I just follow because it is our show impromptu,"

Moza's birthday is actually past a few days, they were not planning to celebrate massively, he said, just a family event but Max's return from Germany gave the idea to mommy to make a party so that Max would join and re-engage with the big family. After a long time withdrawing from the family.

Gladys and Orion thought Max wouldn't. Who would have thought Max actually agreed with the party that was discourse mommy. Maybe because Max loved Moza as much as his own son, only Moza, Max wanted to smile.

Long story short, everything was prepared in an instant. So Gladys understood that there are some things that cannot be conditioned

" I guarantee you I won't regret, it's not a big catering, but the cuisine is not less the same as the chef here, " said Lisa promoted.

After conversing with Lisa and re-examining the finished decorations, Gladys immediately headed for the room, there were still a few hours left before the event started, she had to prepare Moza as well as herself.

Upon entering the elevator, she passed a blonde woman with bold make up. Next to his hand carrying a large size paper bag and handbag, the other hand holding a girl of Moza's age.

Gladys felt like he had seen the woman, but where?
