2 months later.
Anya lived her life with great joy. The environment in which he lives makes it easier for Anya to adapt. He could have gone anywhere without the help of Ida. He was also already familiar with some of the traders in the market they frequented. Anya is very happy. Although sometimes, he cannot deny, there are times when he misses his biological parents and adoptive parents who have died.
And honestly, he missed Axton too.
If it was like that, Anya would just spend her time crying.
For him, these are all risks from life choices that he must bear. After all, want to choose any path, there will definitely be a risk.
"Just come home, Mommy?" greet one of the neighbors, to Anya who was walking towards the house.
The woman paused for a moment and nodded her head. "Yes, Mom. Come on," he continued his journey again.
"Eh, Miss Anya, where are you from?" now, one of the traveling vegetable sellers passed by him.
"Hospital, Pakde. Coming home to the agent, there's some merchandise running out." Anya answered kindly. The woman took a peek at Pakde's vegetable cart. He was going home, because the car was almost empty.
"Well, sir help bring it? That weight," said the vegetable seller Pakde, who looked worried to see Anya pregnant carrying two large plastic items containing groceries.
"It's okay Pakde, besides the distance to the house is close." Anya refused subtly.
"Surely it's okay?" Anya nodded steadily. The vegetable seller also said to go while telling carefully.
A few moments later, Anya arrived in front of her house. "Until now, too," said the woman as she placed the two large plastics she was carrying on her lap table.
"Smart, the mother's son doesn't complain." Anya stroked her stomach which now looks bloated.
Her gestational age has now entered the seventeenth week, the second trimester. He no longer felt as sick as before. His appetite is increasing.
He also felt more energetic. Almost all of Anya's activities are capable of doing themselves. To the extent that, installing tarps as the roof of his merchandise was done alone. Some neighbors screamed in fear when they found the woman on the table.

"You are, not asking for help!" Madam Ida scolded Anya and told her to come down.
"It's okay, Mom, Anya can." Anya scratched the back of her non-itchy neck.
"Mother's granddaughter is nothing." His eyes glanced at Bimo, the child, with a cruel look. "You too, Bim, instead of helping your mother! There you are nerusin," said Bu Ida while hitting hard Bimo's back.
Getting a blow of affection from the Mother, Bimo complained in pain. He also obeyed and continued the work of Anya who was half-finished.
"Tomorrow climbing a yo tree, Ma'am, let my niece be strong like Hercules." Hearing Bimo's joke, Anya laughed almost out of the way, while Bu Ida approached Bimo and hit his feet hard.
"Mom, fall me, Mom, geez!"
"Wild, fall you, fall!"

"Mbak Anya," Anya's daydreams crumpled when Dian came to greet her.
"Have you come home from the doctor?" ask Dian. The woman helped Anya take out the groceries and arrange them in the storefront.
"Already, Yan," replied Anya who was now wiping tables and chairs.
"What about the pressure?"
He stopped his activities. "God is normal." The woman smiled happily.
Dian thanked, "Doctor here is no less good with a Jakarta doctor, right?" Anya nodded while laughing.
"Ahh, I forgot. Later in the afternoon we gather at the Panti Kasih, Ma'am? Their biggest donors are holding small events there to celebrate the anniversary of the Company" Dian said.
Anya nodded. He had heard the news from two days ago. Their home is close to the Orphanage of children. Almost every Friday Anya always distributed lunch there.
"Okay, I'll pick you up later, okay? We'll just take the bike to hurry."
...***...
Maxim slapped Axton with all his might, until the man fell to the table. Although anger was clearly visible on the face of the Father, but at first glance Axton can see the frustration emanated from there.
"You, Papa didikan well, Papa college to high, your career is also successful. Papa thought you'd grow into a civilized man!" pekik angry. He did not expect at all, Axton could play the marriage bond on a paper. Anya did not dare to pick up the phone and only wanted to reply through a short message.
Maxim thought that the unpleasant feeling he had recently felt was a form of longing for his children and daughter-in-law. But it turns out that the guess is wrong.
Callista and Theresa could only fall silent. Callista did not intend to defend Axton at all, because he himself had given Axton a lesson first, when he knew it from Ian some time ago.
"The Father married you to Anya solely for not only retribution. Nor is it just to hinder your relationship with Hana. It's all for your own sake! Just Anya, the girl who deserves to accept you without seeing what you have, X!"
"You see how Hana, the woman you've been dating for years, actually is? If only Papa hadn't married you to Anya and let you marry that woman. So what are you now, huh?" Maxim stared at Axton sharply.
"You know X, Anya is even willing to do things that Hana isn't necessarily capable of." The man was trying not to talk. He promised his son-in-law not to open his mouth, no matter what.
After saying so, Maxim left his wife and two children for the second floor.
Maxim took his phone and searched for a number.
"Hello,"
"Don, I have a task for you,"
......***......
Anya, Dian and Nina get off the bike after parking it in front of the fence.
Their eyes were flabbergasted staring at the courtyard of the parlour that now seemed to be alive with various kinds of birthday supplies ornaments.
The woman read a line on a banner displayed in front of the parlour:
"An anniversary warning PT. Danastridyaksa the 35th."
His heart is unkempt. Cold sweat began to pour down his forehead.
He knows the name of the company. It was the name of the Company that his father owned. Danastridyaksa is the combined name of him and Eagle, the older brother. He changed the name of the company when he was born.
"Why Mother?" seeing the strange gurgle from Anya, Dian asked.
"I'm sure I'm going home, Yan. Suddenly my head is so dry." The answer lies
"Ahh, did you, did I take you?"
Anya moves her hand. "No need, let me walk, Yan. You just go inside yeah," without waiting for Dian's answer, Anya rushes out of there.
He had to hurry away from the parlour, before anyone caught him. He can't let anyone know where he is here.
"His?" a woman's voice sounded familiar in Anya's ears. The woman pretended not to listen.
The sound of footsteps chasing him.
Greb!
The woman managed to reach Anya's shoulder and turn her body.
"Oh Allah, it is Anya!" peekik Woman was astonished and happy at once.
"B-mom,"
