Two weeks later,
A lavish reception at the Anderson Hotel, the couple looked so happy. Experiencing every guest who comes, the smile never recedes from both.
"Mr Mark, thank you. Without the help of you and your family this reception might not have been able to go on like this." Mr. Drake said the young parents were sitting at a table.
"No need to thank Mr Drake, aren't we family? So let's never have a sense of contempt between us." Mr. Mark replied with a laugh.
"Rexy is very lucky to be taken care of by your family. When he is down, your family is willing to accept him. Thanks for that." Said Mr. Drake again.
"It is precisely we who are lucky to be able to nurture Reiz. When I could no longer have children, God sent Reiz for us. He's a good kid and smart too." Lady Tyas opened her voice.
Their chatter continues, how about the future of their children. Mr. Drake doesn't mind if Reiz stays with the Anderson family.
"Drake, I'd like to get you a drink, would you like me to get one?" Lady Eliza asked her husband.
"Em, no need, my drink is still there." replied Mr. Drake while showing his glass which was still filled with drinks.
"All right then. Mr. Mark and Mrs Tyas, if you'll excuse me, take a drink first." Pamphitt.
"Please Mistress." Mr. Mark and his wife answered simultaneously.

Lady Eliza stared at the drinks and food available, the taste was so appetizing.
"Mrs Eliza?" Call someone, undo his intention to take a drink.
"Yes?" The woman turned her body.
"Rexy?" He said when he saw someone standing in front of him.
"Can I have a minute?" Ask Reiz politely.
"certain." Answer Miss Eliza.
Lady Eliza followed Reiz's steps, towards a corner of the room that was far from the reach of the people.
"What do you want to talk about, Rexy?" Lady Eliza opened her voice after the two were silent for a few minutes. Reiz looked confused.
"Rexy, are you okay?" Ask Mrs Eliza.
"Ehm, Mistress. L'm.. I want to apologize..." Reiz replied hesitantly.
"I'm sorry? Apologize for what?" Now Miss Eliza looks confused.
"I'm sorry for my attitude all along." Reiz lowered his face.
"Rexy?"
"I'm sorry, if I've been...." Reiz's words were interrupted, Lady Eliza holding both of his arms. In his eyes the middle-aged woman who looked teary.
"Rexy... You don't have to apologize. You're not wrong, son. I'm the one who should be apologizing for making you lose your mother." Lady Eliza's tears flowed.
"No, ma'am, it's all fate..." Reiz said. Lady Eliza smiled knotfully,
"You're Edra's sister, right? Doesn't that mean you're my son too?" Ask Mrs Eliza. Reiz just nodded.
"Do you want to call me Mommy?" Pinta Mrs Eliza. Reiz raised his face, looked at the shady-looking woman.
"certain." His answer was accompanied by a nod.
"Rexy... My boy..." Lady Eliza has no power to hug Reiz.
"Mommy, I'm sorry..."
"Don't say that again, Rexy..."
The two also dissolve in an embrace, an affectionate embrace between a mother and her son.

"Eliza, where have you been? Why so long?" Ask Mr. Drake as soon as Ms. Eliza returns to her desk. Lady Eliza smiled, her eyes reddened.
"What's wrong? Have you been crying?" Ask Mr. Drake worried.
"No Drake, I..." Lady Eliza's words were interrupted, she turned her eyes to Mr. Mark and Mrs Tyas.
"No, no... " Sergey Mrs Eliza.
"You guys just stay here." Reciprocity.
"Ep... I met with Rexy. Then..." Lady Eliza told me what had just happened between her and Reiz.
"really?" Ask Mr. Drake as if he couldn't believe it. Lady Eliza nodded with sparkling eyes.
"You know, tonight I'm really happy. Finally Rexy is willing to call me Mommy..." The sparkle of happiness was so visible on the middle-aged woman's face.
"Mrs Eliza, I'm so happy." Lady Tyas was no less happy.
"Thank you, but you're not jealous if Rexy calls me Mommy too?" Lady Eliza asked feeling bad.
"Calm down, ma'am, I'm not jealous. Isn't Reiz or Rexy our son?" Madame Tyas asked in her interlude.
The four of them laughed together. And it didn't go unnoticed by Reiz.
"Reiz, what are you looking at?" Rin asked who saw her husband standing glued to look in one direction.
"You see? Our parents look so happy?"
Rin followed Reiz's gaze, looking at the laughing parents.
"You're right, they look happy." Rin smiled. Reiz wrapped his hands around his wife's slender waist.
"Why was I so stupid?"
"You mean?"
"I'm stuck in my own past...Without ever seeing, it turns out that there are many people who love me..." Lirih Reiz's.
"Reizz..." Rin shook his head slowly.
"It's only natural that you feel hurt, but don't let yourself dissolve too long in the past. Do we not live for the present and the future?" Rin looked into the sharp eyes of the man.
"Thank you... Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of love." He said sincerely while anchoring a kiss on Rin's forehead. Rin closed her eyes, soaking in her husband's warm kiss.
"Hey... Oi... The newlyweds are there, but why are you even making out here?" Tomi's voice has always been a bully, ruining both of his friendly moments.
"You're an old bride, so there's no need to make out here." Tomi.
Reiz rolled his eyes lazily, seeing the couple coming closer. Why are they always bothering?
"Can't you two not show up here?" Cynical Reiz.
"It's our family hotel, of course I'm here." Reply Tomi.
"The two of you are always making a fuss. But if one of you disappears, the other will be busy searching." Chirpe Tania.
"I never looked for him." Shake Reiz with his flat.
"I never looked for him either, because he never disappeared." Connect Tomi with his rest. While both their wives just let out a long sigh.
"Why don't we just go there? Congratulations to the newlyweds?" Rin's Proposal.
"You're right, we even forgot to congratulate them." Tania patted her own forehead. Either because they are too happy or too busy they forget to congratulate Edra and Gwen.
"Let's go there." The four men stepped over to Edra and Gwen, but Reiz suddenly stopped when he saw someone there.
A man wearing a maid outfit with suspicious gestures stood not far from the couple.
