"I'm sorry Lexa. I was helpless and didn't know what to do." said Mr. David regretfully.
Madame Lexa rushed out of the room not even forgetting to slam the door.
"Etha." Madame Lexa was surprised to see the princess standing before her. While Etha just looked at him with a hard-to-understand look.
Etha then put the tray he carried on the nightstand, then approached his mother.
"Emmm... Baby, did you hear Mama and Papa talk?" madam Lexa asked meekly looking at the princess's bead eyes.
Etha nodded quickly in response to her mother's words. Without further ado, Lexa's mistress grabbed her daughter's hand, then took her to the princess's room. Etha was only able to follow her mother's footsteps until she arrived at the door of her room.
"Why did Mama take me to my room?" etha asked when she was at the door of her room and rushed inside. His mother is seen stepping into the dressing room without chiming in. Etha hurried to catch up with him.
"What is Mama, why do you look so panicked" said Etha as she looked at her mother who was looking for something.
"Hurry and pack your things, baby. Tomorrow morning you have to go as far as possible" said Ms. Lexa until finally found the thing she was looking for. Apparently he was looking for the princess's suitcase next to the wardrobe.
"What's Mama for? did Mama ask me to run away?" etha said as she approached her mother.
"Mama loves you very much, baby. Mama doesn't want to make you suffer....Hiks hyks hyks.." said Mrs Lexa accompanied by sobs, then rushed to hug her daughter.
Etha returned her mother's embrace with teary eyes. His chest became congested when he saw his mother crying.
"Mama doesn't want you to be a victim of your Papa deal. Mama does not want you to be used as a debt relief tool. Mama doesn't want.hiks..hiks...hiks." Miss Lexa broke into tears.
Etha then loosened her arms, then looked at the face of the mother. Slowly, Etha's hand was stretched out to remove the remains of her mother's tears.
"What's with me running off the problem will be over, Mama?"
"Etha darling. Please listen to Mama, you deserve to find happiness outside. Don't mind us, you deserve to be happy with a man who truly loves you. You are my precious daughter, whatever you will do for your happiness, not the woman who has to bear your Papa's debt" Ms Lexa said in tears.
Etha smiled faintly listening to her mother's words, she wiped away her mother's tears gently and lovingly.
"No Mama, you're my parents and the most meritorious person in my life. I could not have been like this without the help and affection you gave me. There's no way I'm running away from this, and don't keep turning Papa on for what happened. Since Papa wasn't wrong, all of this was already a fate line. I am willing to be made as a debt relief tool." said Etha then exhaled violently. He was already convinced by his father's decision, inevitably he had to be ready to accept it.
Now all he has to do is convince his mother that everything will be fine.
Madam Lexa shook her head at her daughter's words.
"No dear, you have to go as far as possible" Ms. Lexa balked at the decision taken by her daughter.
"Mom, please understand, this is the only way to save Papa's company and free Papa from his debt. Since it is not only us who will bear the consequences, the people outside who depend on our families must also suffer the consequences, what about the fate of the workers in our residence, he said, employees after this. They all have families to live with. I don't want to sacrifice the lives of all those who have spent years pitting their fate in our company. Trust me, everything will be fine, God will always be with us. I have absolutely no problem living it." said Etha smiling that everything would be fine, she believed it.
"Youngpam...Dear daughter..." Again Miss Lexa hugged her daughter tightly, she was very sad, her daughter will be used as a debt relief tool. What a pity his daughter's fate is at this time. She did not know if she could still meet her daughter after this or she would lose her daughter forever.
Etha also shed her tears while patting the mother's back softly. They strengthen each other.
God always tests every servant beyond his means. I believe there is wisdom behind all of this. And I believe God will always protect his servant from distress. What is clear is that we are always close to him and every moment we remember him, God will remember his servant. Etha smiled.
As this one sentence, rainbow after rain and dark comes out light, this meaning can give him strength. Because every human being will experience difficult times, but will also feel happy times.
Time did not seem to go so fast, precisely today is the day that Alfhat will return to visit the residence of master David, with the aim to take away Etha, the adopted daughter of master David.
Mr. David and Mrs Lexa were so anxious to see two black cars enter the yard and stop right in front of her house.
Mr. David and Mrs Lexa who were sitting on the porch of the house immediately got up from her seat.
"Honey, there meet Etha, let me just welcome her" Mr. David said to his wife.
"Yes" said Mrs Lexa and rushed into the house.
Alfhat's secretary first got out of the car, then moved quickly to open the car door for his boss.
Alfhat got off the car in his haughty style. Sunglasses perched on his nose, elegantly styled, he took off his glasses and slipped them in his pocket.
His gaze was so sharp that he saw the middle-aged man who seemed to be deliberately welcoming his arrival.
"Bring your daughter in front of me immediately, because I don't want to linger in your residence." he said and did not want to be denied.
"Sorry sir, we'd better have a chat inside. You've only just arrived." said Mr. David.
Alfhat snorted in annoyance, but did not make a rejection of master David's remark. He went into the house and immediately landed his butt on the sofa.
Not long after, Etha appeared with her mother and joined sitting on the living room sofa. Alfhat stared at the cynical hijab-wearing woman sitting opposite him.
While Etha just looked at him with a flat gaze without throwing a smile, let alone greeting him.
"Richard, take this woman to the car." Alfhat ordered his secretary.
"Wait a minute, you can't just take my daughter with you" Ms. Lexa said.
Sontak Richard who moved closer to Etha chose to stop the action. Alfhat turned to face Miss Lexa
"You don't have rights over your daughter, I've bought her." Alfhat said with a sharp eye.
"We can't hand over our daughter voluntarily to you" said Mr. David, who also defended her.
While Etha frowned hearing their debate. Alfhat had already clenched his hands under the table hearing the couple's words.
"What do you mean, Mr. David! clearly you made your daughter a debt relief tool!." upset Alfhat who was already emotionally ignited.
"Mr Alfhat, you can take my daughter and have the right to her. But, on one condition, you have to marry her first." said Mr. David lightly.
"What!!" Alfhat and Etha spoke at the same time. They were shocked to hear the words of Mr. David.
