Juna's body froze with wide eyes as he looked at the person currently in front of him. Juna let go of her hand which could hold Laura's hand before finally falling silent.
"What does this all mean, Juna?" said someone again snapped at Juna who was still silent staring fearfully at him.
Camila Nugraha's. Yes, that person was the mother of Arjuna Aditya Nugraha, the woman who had given birth and raised Juna.
It was not just Juna who was silent. Laura and the servants could only be speechless staring in fear at Camila who had clearly visible emotions on her face.
"Ma," Juna's great-grandson who can't even say a word.
Juna did not expect that his mother would come to the house without preaching it. Despite living separately, his family always kept him informed whenever he would come to visit, as well as Juna who would inform him whenever he would come to his parents' place.
"So, this is the answer to all the uncomfortable feelings in your heart all this time. This is what you've done. Amazing, you're so-so amazing, Juna."
Camila was completely inexhaustible if her son would do such a bad thing as now. If he had not come there, they would not have known about the betrayal Juna had perpetrated.
Camila recalled the moment she arrived at Juna's house.
Three hours ago.
"I really miss them, even more so Zara. It seems like they have completely forgotten us" said Camila who is currently leaning on the shoulder of her husband–Candra.
"Are you really going there?" ask Candra pepper his wife.
"Yes, I'll give them a surprise. I wanted to see their response when I saw me coming there without telling them," she replied smilingly at the thought of the idea in her head.
"Well, if that's your decision. I'm sorry I can't accompany you there," said Candra who was nodding to understand by his wife because Candra's work is as busy as Juna's.
An hour later, as Camila planned it finally happened. At this time the woman who still looks beautiful despite her age is no longer young was already standing at the door of the house and welcomed so well by the servants.
"Welcome, Madam. Glad to see your arrival" Ina said welcoming the mother of her employer.
"Thank you, Ina. Are Juna and Zara home? Where is Zara? I miss my beautiful daughter so much" asked Camila who was so impatient to meet Zara.
The servant who heard Juna's mother's question could only fall silent. Between wanting to answer but also hesitating to answer because of course the answer that comes out will make problems for Juna.
Seeing the response of such a servant, curiosity was present. The woman who became the great mistress of the Nugraha family stared in full investigation at Ina.
"What's going on? Say it clearly! Don't cover anything from me!" camila said so firmly and loudly that Ina was cornered that there was no choice but to answer Camila's question to her.
"It-anu- Nyo–"
"Say it right! What's up?" camila snapped even more curious when she saw Ina stammering in speech.
"Non Zara is not at home" Ina replies trying to calm down, though Ina is still afraid to imagine the problems that will overwhelm Juna and the excitement that will certainly occur after Camila learns of Juna's behavior.
"Where is Zara? She went with Juna?" camila asked again slightly lowering her tone.
"No Madam. Miss Zara's coming home to her family." Ina was really scared to say that. Ina did not even dare to raise her face to look at Camila. Ina could only look down in fear.
"What's? What do you mean go home? Where is Juna?" Camila's emotions were reeling after hearing Ina's reply.
Camila had not even had time to sit at Juna's house, but her emotions had been made so passionate to hear Ina's words.
"Where is Juna! Tell me correctly, don't make me angry!" hatch Camila.
Camila who heard that almost fell down when her body suddenly felt limp when she heard Ina's reply saying Laura's name. Ina and some of the servants who were there quickly led Camila to the sofa that was there and helped her to sit there.
"Why? Is Zara not enough for Juna? Zara is much better than that woman. Why is Juna still with her?" camila shed her tears.
All the maids who heard that including Ina, were made to be extremely shocked. They had no idea that the mother of their employer knew about Laura.
"Did Zara know all that?" her tan looked at the waiter and wished the waiter had said no, because Camila could not have imagined that Zara knew all that. The beautiful girl he had so longed to be his daughter did not want Camila to see Zara hurt. Camila loves Zara just as much as Camila's love and affection for Juna.
"When did Zara leave?" ask Camila again.
"Two days ago, Madam."
"It's been two days and Juna let Zara go?" camila was getting hurt by the facts she heard.
"Did Zara know all this?" repeat Camila is still waiting for an answer to her question.
"We don't know, Madam." The audible answer did not make Camila feel satisfied at all.
"Did they ever fight?" tanyakanya.
"No. The situation in this house is completely calm thanks to the presence of Non Zara. His presence can make the atmosphere calm, comfortable and colorful, Madam. Non Zara is a very good woman, and it seems like Mr. Juna is also aware of that. Mr. Juna has always been gentle with Mon Zara. The relationship between the two is very good" replied one of the servants when Ina was unable to speak.
"But, Mr. Juna always comes home late at night. I know that Non Zara feels sad even though she is always smiling. The best woman would be to wonder where her husband went? Why do we come home late every day? But none of that happened to Non-Zara. He always seemed calm in the face of everything. She always tried to be such a good wife to Mr. Juna. She's really the perfect figure in my eyes, ma'am." Ina could no longer hide her sympathy for Zara. Ina is ready to take the risk of all her words if only Juna would fire her. To be sure Ina did not want to just keep silent to let a woman who was already considered like her daughter get hurt.
Camila, who had just calmed down after hearing the servant's previous answer about the harmony of the Juna household, was now also hurt by Ina's words.
Camila knows Ina because Ina is Juna's first servant and hires Ina to look after Juna. Ina couldn't possibly have made up the story, and that was also what made Camila end up crying.
Sadness enveloped Camila imagining what happened to Zara's pepper.
Camula also knew Zara. Zara is such a good woman, never complaining and always trying to calm down to face her every problem.
If it is true that Juna always comes home late at night, it is certain that there is a huge wound in Zara's heart.
"I betrothed them so that Juna would escape from the snake woman and so that Nuna could have a perfect woman like Zara. I love ZRa as much as I love Juna. I'm guilty of this" Camila said, blaming herself for what had happened.
"Tell me everything! Everybody!" pinta Camila on all the waiters until finally Camila can find out about the room that became Laura's room there.
With a trembling body Juna tried to get closer to Camila. The obvious anger on Camila's face really made Juna feel scared. Juna was really confused about what to do or say about his mother's emotions, because Camila was very rare or even could be said to never be angry. Seeing Camila angry was a scary thing for Juna.
"Ma, listen to my explanation!" said Juna.
PLAKKIS…
One slap so fiercely landed next to Juna's cheek. Juna felt no pain in his face at all, as seeing the disappointed look in Camila's eyes was more painful for him.
"Determine your choice. This woman or mother came out of the house. Not just this time, but forever!" said Camila like thunderous lightning struck the body of Juna who heard it.
"Ma" said Juna.
"Juna, until when do we have to hide like this? I think it's time to put an end to all this drama and tell the truth about our relationship. I don't want to be forever considered your mistress like this!" sahut Laura who had been silent, finally spoke up when Laura felt her position was threatened.
"He's right. End all this" said Camila.
