Al is in turmoil. Vienna has been quiet since their last fight. Al admitted his mistake, preferably, he told Vienna the truth.
Several times Al tried to send Vienna a romantic message. But Vienna ignored him. Tired of trying, made Al give up and start avoiding him.
Al chose to send a message to Citra. He wanted to ensure Citra's readiness to open the identity of Al's first wife. For a few minutes he waited, making him more frustrated.
Al squealed his forehead. His head is throbbing pain. The door of his room was pushed strong enough to make Al who wanted to throw a protest, fell silent again.
"Mommy, what are you doing here?" al asked when he saw his mother sitting on the sofa.
"What, Mami can't come to the papi company anymore?" ketus Widya the mommy.
"Of course I can." Al immediately walked over to his mother.
"How is your relationship with Vienna?" ask Widya.
Al speechless. He was weighing, should he tell me about the mess of his household? It seems not, if considering all these things happened because of the share of the woman who, unfortunately, is her biological mother.
Al decided to shut up. He did not want his mother to interfere in every household business. He is the one who has the right to make the decision. However, his calmness was disturbed.
"From the beginning, Mami told you to vote, didn't she? Al, there is not a single woman in this world who is willing to share love let alone share a husband with another woman. Moreover, Vienna knows nothing." Widya stopped for a moment.
"Don't be greedy Al. In the end, you have to choose between Vienna and Citra. But, Mami asked you to divorce Citra. Why are you keeping that woman again? He's no longer useful" he said in flames.
"Mi, the image is the person Al loves. How could Al just abandon her? If it wasn't for Mami asking Al to remarry, none of this would have happened." Al began to complain.
"No need for hypocrites Al. Mami, know you also want the presence of the baby again right? The image can no longer give it. Your daughter is no longer there either. It's also because of it."
Al pulled her hair back. He did not deny his mother's words. But isn't there another way? thought at that time.
"Al and Citra have agreed to raise the child before the mother triggers the crazy idea to Citra," Widya stared at Al horror.
"Don't try to do that stupid thing. Mami, don't want to have grandchildren whose origins are unclear. Now you choose, Vienna or Citra!"
"Mi, stop. Al has married Vienna. Al has even fucked her for the sake of mami's wishes!" said Al.
"Al, don't you love Vienna?" Al was wrong to ask that question.
"Mommy, conclude you've fallen in love with Vienna. So, now choose!"
"Can't, Mi. Al could not leave Citra after all the pain she was in. Citra is the first woman who can make Al fall in love. Please, Mami don't interfere in Al's domestic affairs anymore. Vienna and Citra are Al's wives. Let Al decide everything. Give Al time to think, how the continuation of Al household. Whatever Al's decision, please accept it!" break Al.
Al returned to his desk and continued his work. Widya exhaled a rough breath. Not wanting to linger any longer, he immediately stepped out.
After Widya's departure, Al immediately contacted Citra.
"Honey, we have to tell Vienna immediately" Al said. The man is pinching his temple.
"What's Vienna still mad at, Mas?"
"Looks like. That's not the problem. I don't want to, Mami interfered again. Last time Mami interfered, I had to follow your wish to marry your best friend."
"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to get you into this dilemma. I'm sorry, because I can't do my job as a wife properly. I can't give you another child either. Sorry."
Al closed his eyes tired. Moreover, when hearing the sound of the image vibrating.
"That's it. I never blamed you. God is testing us. Don't cry anymore" Al persuaded.

Vienna was having lunch when her phone rang. For a moment she thought that her husband had started contacting her. However, Vienna had to feel disappointed when it saw the name of the caller.
"Hello, Cit," said Vienna after pressing the green button.
"Win, I want to see you tomorrow."
"I want to meet you too. I need you Cit" said Vienna withstanding tears.
"Yes, I know that. Don't forget tomorrow."
Vienna wiped away her tears. Really, he needs someone to back him up. Al, who no longer seduced him after he was let go, made him feel even more, if he meant nothing to Al.
Meanwhile, after contacting Vienna, Citra immediately contacted Al and informed him about the meeting tomorrow afternoon.
"Are you sure?" ask Al softly.
Al knew, this was a tough decision for Citra. However, Citra still does.
"Here you go, my mom."
"alright. Tomorrow we'll unlock this secret."
Al leaned his body on his seat of greatness.

This afternoon, Vienna and Citra will meet. Vienna entered the restaurant that was already on reservation on behalf of his best friend.
A servant approached him and asked, "for how many people?"
"It's on the reservation" he replied.
"What's the name, ma'am?" ask the waiter.
"Partner" he replied again.
"Wait a minute." the waiter turned towards the receptionist, and told the name of the customer who made the reservation.
"Please, mother." the waiter showed me the space Citra had ordered.
Vienna followed the stewards' steps. I don't know why, his heart was pounding. From a distance, Al who had just come out of the toilet saw the arrival of Vienna. With a slow step, he followed her.
After delivering Vienna, the waiter immediately resigned. Vienna thanked him. Vienna opened the door and went inside.
The smiling image found Vienna had arrived.
"It's been a while?" ask Vienna.
He glanced at the tiny clock that coiled around his wrist. I don't think it's too late, is it? ask in the heart.
"No, you're not late. I came first. Come sit down," as if understanding the intent of the Vienna gaze, Citra answered him. The image also allowed Vienna to sit.
Vienna sits right in front of Citra.
"Your face, why is it so haggard?" ask Citra.
Vienna forced itself to smile. He also looked at the condition of his best friend who was not much different from him.
"You look haggard" said Vienna.
"Ah, I just got back from out of town. So, still tired," he said.
The sound of the door being pushed. As they both looked at the source of the voice. The man stood there long enough.
"Bang, Al," said Vienna.
"Bag,"
Al smiled and walked towards the two. Al sat in the middle between them.
