A middle-aged woman was sitting on an iron swing that was on the balcony of her room in the large mansion of Alefosio. The view is empty even though there is a beautiful garden below. The slightly timid rays of the sun revealing itself to the earth further added to the sadness in his heart. It was as if the world knew about the turmoil of his soul.
She has two daughters, but can't live together with both of them at once. One of them rejects the destiny outlined by the creator.
Behind him a woman who was his age was looking at him full of pity. The woman was a living witness to the sufferer of the friend long ago.
Starting from the tragic events that happened to him to the forced marriage that ensnared him into the depths of suffering. During a marriage with a successful and famous businessman named Rocky there may be many women out there who envy the poor woman.
They must think that being the legal wife of someone who is rich and mighty is a fortune. However, they do not understand the wounds after wounds that are scratched in the physical and inner of the person who lives it.
Silvia stepped closer to the friend who was still silent on the balcony of her room. When it was right behind the friend, Silvia held the poor woman's shoulder until the owner of the shoulder was slightly shortened in shock.
Nabila looked back, the place where the friend stood with his hand still perched on his shoulder. Seeing Silvia's whereabouts, Nabila forced her lips to smile.
"Sil, what's wrong?" asked Nabila while also holding the hand of the friend who was on his shoulder.
"I should have asked. You why?" ask Silvia who immediately released his hand on the shoulder of the friend.
The real mother of Danendra Alefosio is now turning to the side of the friend. Nabila even slightly shifted so that his best friend can sit beside him.
"You got a problem again?" silvia asked after sitting herself beside Nabila.
Nabila nodded small, since the first best friend was indeed the most understanding. Silvia never allowed herself to hide anything from him. Everything that happened, surely Silvia was the first to know about it.
"Try the story, why, Bil?"
"Yesterday at Devan's welcome, Rihanna came, Sil."
"Huh, Rihanna's coming? Why don't I see him at all?" silvia asked in surprise.
"He only came for a moment. When I asked, he didn't come because he cared about his brother and nephew. He only came because he drove his friend alone," said Nabila with a sad facial expression.
Silvia knitted her eyebrows when she heard the words of her friend. "As far as I was at the party yesterday there was only family coming, Bil. If Rihanna comes with her friend, it does not rule out the possibility that Rihanna's friend is one of our relatives" Silvia explained, holding the hand of the friend who was in the lap.
"Come, Sil. I didn't know he was honest or lying. All this time Rihanna always lied to me because she had the support of her papa," Nabila replied with a wry smile.
"Then what makes you sad like this if you have memorized your daughter's habits?"
"I just didn't think Rihanna would turn down fate if Adeline was her sister. Though, I wish they could get along after knowing the truth."
Silvia gave a soft elusan on the back of Nabila's hand. Intended to calm down his best friend who looked so devastated. The two neutrals are even like cloudy clouds that will soon rain.
"Bil, it all takes process. The truth is too sudden for them. Let alone Rihanna who is used to living as she pleases. Adeline even initially rejected this truth, right?"
Nabila nodded slowly as she recalled how early Adeline knew the truth that she was her biological mother. The adult woman did not even believe in the revealed truth.
"Rihanna's swallowed-up can definitely take it, Bil. He just needs time. You have to be sensitive and wait until then. Rihanna is different from the other kids. From childhood he was always spoiled for treasure by your husband, but your husband never gave affection to his son."
"She's always acting like she's treating you, right? That's what makes Rihanna a selfish child and won't lose to anyone else."
Malik looked at Rihanna who was still eating her breakfast. The man who had finished eating simple homemade food put a fork and knife on the plate.
Rihanna only realized that the man sitting in front of her was looking at her. The young woman put her cutlery down even though it had not completely run out.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" rihanna asked awkwardly.
"Are you really okay in the apartment alone?" ask Malik to make sure.
"You've asked like that many times, Malik. I'm fine," Rihanna replied slightly shaking her head.
"But I'm worried. Afraid that the people who are looking for you will come here" Malik said with a serious face.
Rihanna took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. "I will not open the door of the apartment even if someone presses the bell a thousand times."
"alright. Then I leave first," Malik said in the end.
Malik left his apartment unit. The man immediately told Rihanna to lock it and not open it no matter what happens before she returns. Rihanna who did not dare to roam outside chose to obey Malik's orders.
Just now Malik stepped away from his apartment unit, suddenly someone smothered his mouth with a cloth that had been sprayed with anesthetic. Malik had revolted, but the person who had no good intention was swiftly hit the nape of Malik until unconscious.
"Take him to the mansion. The Great Lord wants to meet him!" one of them's orders.
Malik only realized when he was in a room that was very foreign to him. The man scratched his neck which was still painful. His gaze went around researching every corner of the room.
"Where am I?" ask him to yourself.
"You're in my mansion, Malik."
The voice instantly made Malik stare at the direction of the sound source. Someone was leaning against the door of the room. The two Malik netra perfectly rounded when they saw who it was.
"Om Rocky, why did you kidnap Malik?" malik asked as he rose from his initial position lying on the bed.
"You're the first one looking for trouble with Om," Rocky replies with a chest grip.
"How are you looking for trouble? Malik did what?" ask the confused Malik.
"You hid it, didn't you?" ask Rocky back which actually makes Malik more confused.
"Hide what, Om? Malik doesn't understand Om Rocky's speaking direction."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, Malik. Om knows you're hiding someone in your apartment!" ricky snapped in a high voice.
