"You don't have to be afraid, because we're not the first time we're doing this, are we? We've done this before at home."
Hearing that remark, Merlin glared his eyes wide to look at Dicky. The shocked face look was very clear on Merlin's face at this moment.
"What did you mean, Dicky? Doing what thing? What have we done at home, huh?"
The question, accompanied by an incredulous look, made Dicky laugh again. He could not help but tingle in his heart. Merlin's blushing red face looked so cute and adorable in Dicky's eyes.
"Lin, what did you just think, hm? Don't think the no. I just want to say, we've slept together in one bed at home. So, you don't be afraid. Nothing's gonna happen."
"Whoever thinks. I don't" said Merlin, enduring the embarrassment. Merlin felt extremely embarrassed due to his over-reacting response.
"Yes, if you don't think anything. C'mon here! Rest. Don't waste time daydreaming. Because daydreaming won't do any good."
"Who said that daydreaming is useless? There's a lot." Merlin denied because he did not want to lose.
Dicky took a deep breath. Then let go of that breath violently.
"As far as you are. What's good in your opinion, then just put that opinion on."
Merlin no longer denied. He instead chose to remain silent without saying, but moved closer to the side of the large bed on which there was already a occupant lying down with a reclining position.
Meanwhile, in the main room of this mansion, Intan was sitting in the corner of the bed. He sat down while facing the window that he could directly see his beloved flower garden.
"God .. Should I go? But ... Where should I go? I don't have a family that's really close to me. After all, if they knew I wasn't the Prasetya's mistress anymore, who would care about my fate."
"But .. surviving here as a mistress who is not considered will also not be good. It's the same as blatantly torturing the heart." Intan spoke while continuing to stare out the window.
Slowly, unknowingly, what she had just said was heard very clearly by her husband Bagas. Bagas who had just entered, immediately listened to a speech that was more like complaining than Intan. Very rare thing for Bagas. Because all this time, the Diamond he knew was a very ambitious and slightly ruthless person.
"That makes you not considered yourself, Intan. So, what's complaining for?" tanya Bagas answered immediately.
React alone, the sudden answer made Intan shocked not dumbfounded. He immediately turned his body to face Bagas who was not far from the bed now.
"Father! Come in, don't you knock on the door?"
Intan took a rough breath. Her eyes looked sadly at the face of the husband she had been proud of all this time. The face of the person who used to care so much about him. But, because of the mistake he made, everything suddenly changed.
"I know everything here belongs to you, Mas. But at least, you respect me who's in this room."
"Lho, why should I respect you, Intan? You as a wife don't respect me. You left quietly from this house without saying goodbye, then then, you disappeared for three days without news. What do you think I am, huh?"
Intan laughed listening to her husband. Her heart suddenly felt amused by the words that her husband had just said. But, to be honest, what he felt now was a sense of sadness. Sadness that is too limited.
"Because I left without saying goodbye, kept disappearing for three days without news, you said I didn't respect you here? You're wrong, Mas. I left without saying goodbye because I respect you. I don't want us to fight again and again. Because every time we meet, you'll consider me your enemy, not your wife."
"And it seems, the disrespected one is that I'm here. Three days I disappeared without news, you guys are here just silent. You guys don't know what I've been through all those three hearts, do you, Mas? I'm tormented. Very, very tormented."
"However, the most surprising thing was that, when I came home, no one welcomed me at all. You guys didn't even care about my extremely miserable state when I arrived at this mansion. You were busy welcoming his wife Dicky who came here. As for me, you guys just ignore it."
"Shut up, Intan. Don't take Merlin's name with us. He doesn't know anything about any of this. He came too because it wasn't on purpose."
"Yes, I know he came because he wasn't on purpose. Nor do I intend to bring his name to the problems we are facing. But, I just want to tell you the truth that happened when I got home, Mas. Not more."
"Then, what else do you want to say, huh? Tell me what you want to say now! Because later on, I don't want you to talk about anything that's not in front of my daughter-in-law."
"Nothing else, Mom. That's all I want to say. Oh yeah, I want to remind you one thing, she's not just your daughter-in-law. But, also my son-in-law."
"Sad. Don't talk too much, Intan. You're here only a stepmom. You have no right to expect much from my son."
Hearing that remark, a clear circle slowly descended from Intan's eyes.
"I wouldn't expect much. Because I'm now self-conscious enough, Mom. But, is it wrong if I assume your son is also my son, Mas? I can't have children because you don't want any more children than Dicky. I accept, because I think, with Dicky, I feel like I've done enough to be a mom. Although in reality, on the other hand, I also feel very sad about the decision you took. I'm a normal woman. Want to have offspring that I was born myself from my womb. But .... "
"Shut up, Intan! Do not try to reveal everything that has passed. If you want to have a child and be a normal woman, then why are you willing to marry me even though you know what conditions I put before asking you, huh?"
"And .. You said you wanted to take Dicky as your son. Hmh! I'm disgusted to hear that hypocritical remark coming out of your foul mouth."
