"I'm here."
Bima turned to be shocked to hear a voice that she had long since missed.
"Madiana?" he said, frozen in place.
"Yes. It's me." It's me."
Bima wanted to run to hug him, but hesitated. Not knowing what made him doubt, he himself could not find the reason.
"I'm sorry I left you." Mariana looked at Bima full of longing, a slight smile engraved on the corner of her lips.
"Why did you do that?" bima asked, walking doubtfully closer to Mariana.
"Because...."
"Is Sarah threatening you?"
Mariana silent.
Bima closed her eyes and took a breath to calm her turbulent emotions.
"No." Mariana shook her head quickly as she looked at the flames of anger in the depths of Bima's eyes.
"Don't protect her, Mariana."
Mariana nodded back. "I'm not trying to protect her at all. The reason I left was because of Sarah, yes. But I did not leave because of coercion. I decided to go."
Bima stopped right in front of Mariana, looking down at the tiny baby in Mariana's sling.
"What...he is... My son?" tanyanya doubt.
Mariana looked down at the baby, then nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"How can you?" ask Bima. His hands were raised hesitantly, then he was put back down.
Mariana looked at Bima. "When we do, I'm not pregnant."
Bima frowned.
"I'm sorry, but I've taken medicine to abort my womb."
Bima looked back at Mariana wondering. "But you never miscarried. Wouldn't it be if you were found out.. I would know?"
Mariana smiled. "Have you forgotten that the doctor forbade us from having sex for some time because I was weak?"
Bima thought for a moment, then looked back at the tiny baby in Mariana's hand, then she reached out her hand to touch the little baby's cheek.
"What's his name?" ask Bima softly.
"Leo Sandiago **."
Bima looked shocked. But looking at Mariana's usual face, he decided that maybe the name selection was just a coincidence.
"Mh... Marianas. Can I carry it?" ask Bima doubtfully.
Mariana smiled broadly. "Of course."
Buma received the tiny baby from Mariana's hand, and carried it slowly.
"Mrs Mariana, you better sit down. I'll bring you a drink for Madam." Marco walked over, allowing his boss's wife to sit down. Mariana smiled, then sat down.
"Honey. Where do you want to prepare a room for our baby?" bima asked, sitting next to Mariana.
Mariana was silent, looking at Bima who was holding Leo in a stiff motion.
"Darling...."
"Eh, actually.... Milky. I'm sorry. Actually I came here to take care of our divorce." Mariana lowered her head, speaking very quietly.
"What?!" bima shouted in shock, making the tiny creature in his carriage squeak.
"Ohhhhh..." Bina stood up, swinging her baby slowly.
"What are you really thinking, Mariana?" bima, whispering.
"I'm really sorry."
"Is this because of that old man?" bima asked fiercely.
"Whose man?" mariana asked, looking up at Bima.
"No need to pretend. I've seen you guys and I know you're living with that guy!"
"Which man do you mean?!" Mariana stood up, staring at the fierce Bima.
"Aah it is. I'll grant you your wish, but on condition that this baby I'll take care of her."
"What?!" replace Mariana who screamed in shock.
"Why? A husband and wife divorce, anyone who cheats will lose custody of their child. That's the law in effect, Mariana."
"No...." Mariana shook her head slowly.
Bima doesn't care, she comes out of her study carrying Leo in her cradle.
"Male! Give me back my son!" Mariana shouted, chasing Bima out of the room. Marco, walking with a drink, froze in place.
"You can get out now!" bima said coldly, leaving Mariana up the stairs.
Leo's baby started crying, knowing something was going on with his parents.
"He asked for Leo's custody and kicked me out."
Marco frowned. "How can you?" tanyanya's confused.
"I...." Mariana wiped away her tears that soon came out again. "I asked for a divorce from him."
Marco grinned sharply.
"Come in, Madam." Marco brought Mariana's arm back into Bima's den.
"Summon to calm the mind." Bima gave a glass of lemon water that he carried.
"I don't want to lose Baby Leo." Mariana sobbing.
"I know, Madam. But, what made the Madam decide to part from the Master?" marco asked calmly, sitting at the farthest corner from Mariana's place.
"I...."
"Say, Mistress. I will help you as much as I can."
Mariana was silent, looking down.
"I...." The woman fell silent again, her hand moving wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks.
"I know Bima's past."
"From Miss Sarah?"
Mariana nodded in disarray.
"Which past did Madam mean?" marco asked calmly.
"Everything. Who he really is and how he abandoned his son."
Marco smiled. "Does the Madam know why you abandoned her son?"
Mariana remained silent.
"He never cared about his son. He didn't want to admit it" Mariana said later.
Marco shakes. "That's not the real story, ma'am."
Mariana frowned.
"I will not make any defense for Mr. Bima, Madam. But I can tell Madam, that the real circumstances are not like that."
Mariana looked up, looking at Marco. "Whatchu mean? Do you want to tell me that Sarah's lying?" ask Mariana firmly.
Marco smiled back. "It is better that Madam ask herself to Mr. Bima. Because I don't even have permission to deliver."
Mariana breathed a long breath.
"Just tell me, I gave you permission" he said resentfully.
Marco shook his head, still smiling.
"If Madam is reluctant to ask Mr. Bima directly, she should see Thompson. He's much more understanding than me and he has special permission to unlock that secret as long as he's willing."
"Who's Thompson?"
"Just like me. He's a confidante sir."
"Where can I see him?"
"In showroom. Or if he is not there, maybe he is taking care of the finance company Mr. Bima who is working with the company Sasmita Group."
"Sasmita Company?"
"Yes, Madam. JkA was destroyed a few days ago and Sasmita Group is applying for cooperation with BSF, the Tuan Bima company managed under Thompson."
"May I ask you something, Marco?"
Marco nodded. "Of course, Madam. I will answer it as long as I have the right to it."
"Mmm... Actually, who is Bima?"
Marco frowned.
"Don't Madam know that?" ask Marco.
"Yes. I knew she was the head of the gangster, and when Sarah was pregnant with her child, Bima would rather be busy with her company instead of admitting to the baby in Sarah's womb. And I also know that her mother's death destroyed her and made her give up all the luxuries she had. But I'm still wondering who he really is."
Marco nodded. "Where did Madam get the idea to name her son?"
From Bima, of course. I took his last name even though we were not used to using the surname, therefore I added ** which means Junior. She's the Junior version of Bima."
Marco understood. "And you added Leo's name in front of him?"
Mariana smiled. "I actually took that name because someone inspired me. And I hope my son will be as good as he is."
Marco again frowned, staring curiously.
"You know Leo Atlas. Although no one knows who and how he is, but his name is already worldwide as the king of business. The company is scattered everywhere. That's why I gave him the name Leo. Because I wish my son would be as good as that man, whoever he is."
Marco nodded, smiling. "I'm sure he'll be as good as Leo Atlas" he said.
"Yes. I hope so too."
