"Actually-" Bi Ani began to recall a dark incident, 19 years ago, in which she dumped Marissa beside the orphanage.
The Flash Back On
That night Dian Maharani (Ani), a beautiful 18-year-old girl, was confused in her narrow contract. His face paled as a result of enduring the intense pain in his enlarged stomach.
"Oh my God, I'm not strong anymore!" he nodded while holding on to the wall of his room.
The turbid liquid mixed with blood kept coming out between his legs. He wanted to ask his neighbors for help, but he was ashamed. No one around her contract realized that she was pregnant. He didn't even have the money to ask a midwife for help.
Dian (Ani) resigned to her fate and also the baby who will soon come out of her womb. In a hurry, Dian headed for the bathroom and then sat leaning against the wall.
The pain attacked him again. It was a terrible pain, one he had never imagined. Even cold sweat continued to pour out on his temples.
"I can! I can do it!!!" murmured Dian while straining.
After an hour Dian struggled with her pain, finally a tiny baby girl, born safely without any less.
Dian who was weak, slowly grabbed the tiny baby and then carried it. He looked at the beautiful, sharp-nosed baby and with that thick hair while smiling wryly.
"You're so pretty, son. Your nose and your eyes are exactly like your father's" Dian murmured as she gently stroked the tiny cheeks of the beautiful baby.
His crying voice was heard but only for a moment. After that, he started to take. Using her remaining energy, Dian cleansed the tiny baby as well as herself.
He never imagined that he would have a baby at a very young age and in a status that is still 'unmarried'.
"What should I do with this baby? I can't take care of him. What will my uncle and aunt say in the village?" muttered.
Suddenly he thought of a crazy idea that never occurred to him. "Do I have to throw this baby away? But where should I throw it away? I want this baby to be safe and cared for by people who love him" Dian murmured.
Dian thought hard, until finally he got the idea to throw the tiny baby next to the Orphanage, which was a good distance from his contract. The young woman began to prepare herself and immediately took the newborn baby girl away from the contract.
Dian grabbed a box of mineral water that he found on the side of the road then put the tiny baby while sobbing.
"I'm sorry, son. I had to do it" he murmured.
While watching her surroundings, Dian started walking towards the Orphanage and placed the box containing the tiny baby there. After she finished doing her job, Dian immediately ran and hid behind the house of one of the residents and peeked at the baby from a distance.
Minutes change and minutes change hours. Dian, who was desperate because no one picked up the baby, wanted to take the baby back. But, just as he stepped on his feet, the little baby was hysterical because it was getting cold and thirsty.
Dian undo his intentions and keep peeking from behind the houses. Finally, a woman came out of the orphanage and approached the box containing her tiny baby. The woman was confused, she looked around, but because there was no one there. Without a second thought, the woman immediately brought the tiny baby into the orphanage.
"May you be happy, son."
The Flash Back Off
Marcello rubbed his face violently. He did not expect that all this time Dian (Ani) was the biological mother of Marissa. Similarly, Joe, the cold and cruel man was also seen in shock after hearing the story of Dian (Ani) 19 years ago.
"Oh, God!" murmured Marcello while giving a rough breath.
"Almost every day I visit the orphanage even if only from a distance. At the very least, I could see my daughter when they were taking her sunbathing or just taking her for a walk in the orphanage."
Dian grabbed the tissue on Marcello's desk then wiped her tears that were still flowing endlessly with the tissue.
"Until one day Mr. Marcello and Mrs Melinda visited the Orphanage to adopt my baby. I was terrified, and I was afraid that I would never see my daughter again. I tried to approach Mrs Melinda and offer her services as a Babysitter. And at that time I felt very lucky because Mrs Melinda was a good woman, she was willing to accept me and hire me as a Babysitter who would help her take care of little Marissa," dian continued while wiping his tears.
"So, who's Marissa's real father?" ask Marcello.
Dian speechless. It's too hard for her to reveal who Marissa's real father is.
