"Ningsih, I'll go out for a while. Maybe in about an hour or two, I've prepared my mother's breakfast and medicine on the table.
All you need to do is make sure my mom takes her medicine" she told me and gave orders to the man standing in front of her.
"Yes madam" Ningsih replied as she nodded.
Rio's stepmother did not speak anymore she immediately left after hearing Ningsih's reply. After a fifteen-minute drive by car.
Now he is standing here, in front of a minimalist house type four five. There are still cars in the yard indicating that the occupants are in the house.
Ting tong, the bell rang as Rio's stepmother pressed the button.
Click, the key is turned and the door is pulled in and Rini appears from behind the door.
"Mother???" Rini said full of question marks, when she found out who came at this early hour, because it was still six in the morning.
"come in" said Rini again did not let the woman stand outside for too long, Rio's stepmother obeyed Rini's words, she entered and sat in the guest room.
While Rini went to the kitchen, made drinks and cut brownies to be served to Rio's stepmother.
"Please drink the tea and eat the cake, ma'am" Rini said as she placed the tea and cake on the table.
"Yes, thank you" replied stepmother rio as she lifted the glass containing warm tea, she took it for a while and drank it a mouthful, then put the glass back on the table and began to talk.
"Rini, actually I came here because there's something I want to talk to you about, I know as executive secretary you're very busy, which is why I came here so early." He said start the conversation.
Yes, Rini has indeed risen from secretary manager to executive secretary since three years ago.
"Is that mom? Say, I'm sure you'll want to talk about something important." Ask Rini enthusiastically.
"I know my mother asked you to marry Rio and I also know you've turned her down, so I came here to ask you to accept my mother's request.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I can't accept your request." Rini answered with regret.
"Why?" Ask while looking at Rini.
"Is the reason because of me?" Ask again but Rini just kept quiet.
"If it's because of me, you don't have to worry. My son has long since died and I have absolutely no objection to you marrying Rio. He's a good man even better than my son, I wouldn't turn him down even if I was his stepmother.
Rini, I always wanted you to be my daughter. Please make my wish come true by marrying Rio." He said convincing while holding Rini's hand.
Rini looked deeply into the face of the woman sitting in front of her, she really wanted to know all the contents of the woman's heart.
"Why don't you hate him?
Wasn't he evidence of Dion's father's disloyalty to his mother?" Rini solved the question.
"If I hate him, it means I hate my husband too. Why would I hate a long-dead person, it would only hurt my heart.
After all, when he was alive he never treated me badly and was always nice to me, I don't know since when he betrayed me.
If Dion hadn't gotten into an accident and died, I probably wouldn't have known it by the end of life." He answered Rini's question.
"Fruit falls not far from the tree, the saying is true. If only Dion had not died maybe now I would also be in your position mother" said Rini in her heart. He recalled the night before Dion had an accident.
That night Dion came to meet Rini in her room.
"Will you go home?" tanya Dion sat on the table facing Rini who was still sitting on the chair.
