The next day, Vika decides to take Vincent for a walk to the park around the complex. The handsome son of Vika looks so cheerful when he reaches the park.
"Mama .. tu ..., " said Vincen while pointing at the balloon seller.
"Vincen want a balloon?" ask Vika.
The baby nodded enthusiastically. Seeing her son so want the balloon, Vika finally bought it. After getting tired of playing balloons, Vincent whines. The baby rubbed his eyes repeatedly because of sleepiness.
"Mommy's son wants to sleep? Yuk, we're home!"
Vika finally carries Vincent's petite body. All the way home Vika continued to hum. He hoped that when he got home, Vincent was already asleep.
Upon arrival in front of the house, Vika was surprised by the presence of Miss Winda's car. The silver Tesla was already parked in Mahen's yard. A nervous feeling permeated Vika's heart. He repeatedly took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
As soon as her feelings calmed down, Vika started to step in. Turn the door slowly. After the door opened, Miss Winda and Mr. Theo turned to her. The mother also sat down with her former parents-in-law.
"Corn, Pa, Ma" said Vika as calmly as possible.
"Jiang, Vik. How are you?" Mr. Theo smiled kindly in response to Vika's greeting.
"Good, Pa. Been long?"
"Just now, come here. We want to talk" said Mr. Theo, patting the empty sofa beside him.
"Vika take Vincent to the room first. Excuse me," said Vika.
After laying Vincen in his room, Vika rushed to see Mr. Theo and Ms. Winda. The faces of the three old men looked tense.
"I don't like pleasantries. Do not attempt to deceive Us by bringing the child whose origins are not clear!" exclaim Bu Winda.
"I mean Mama?"
"Ma, relax. We can talk about it." Mr. Theo tried to calm his wife.
"Look, we intend to do a DNA test to prove whether Vincent is Mahen's son or not" explained Mr. Theo.
"May, if needed," said Vika flat.
"If the results of this test are negative, you should immediately get away from the Aerospace family!" exclaim Bu Winda.
"Actually Vika doesn't care about the test results, Ma. After this Vika plans to move to New York."
"Why?" ask Mr. Theo.
"Vika doesn't want to get hurt more if she stays in this country" Vika said.
"Go! If it turns out to be positive, leave Vincent here!" exclaim Bu Winda.
As if struck by lightning on a clear day, Vika was immediately aghast. He did not expect the bait he threw, instead pulling him in a more complicated problem. His head suddenly turned.
"If the result is negative, I will report you for fraud!" exclaimed Bu Winda in a cold tone.
"What's this! Please don't you torture my daughter with this silliness!" shouted Miss Lasmi.
"If the result is positive, I'll keep Vincent away! I don't want my son to be taken care of by someone like Mama!" firmly Vika.
"When I was pregnant, you kicked me out without listening to any explanation. In that second, we can also do a DNA test. However, what is this? I don't want to follow Mama's silly rules anymore!" yell Vika.
"Ma, Vika's right. Please don't go too far!" firmly Mr. Theo.
"You don't understand how I feel!" exclaim Bu Winda.
The middle-aged woman then left the house in a snobbed state. Mr. Theo calms Vika down first before catching up with his stubborn wife.
"Mama's problem, let papa take care of it. Calm down, if your mom files a custody lawsuit to the court, you will still win" said Mr. Theo then following Ms. Winda.

The next day, Vika hands a sample of Vincent's hair to Mahen. The man who married her was silent when he received Vincent's hair.
"Why silence? Are you afraid that Vincent might turn out to be your son or vice versa?" ask Vika.
"Please let me spend a little longer with Vincent" Mahen said.
"Why should I do it?" said Vika cynically.
"The king said you were leaving next week" Mahen said.
"I don't care about the test results. It's just .. I guess ... I already love Vincent," said Mahen lethargic.
Hearing Mahen's words, there was a feeling of having to sneak into Vika's heart. The woman tried to strengthen her heart so as not to change her mind.
"Well if that's what you want" said Vika.
The woman then left Mahen who was still sitting in the middle room. Mahen stared at the nanar of Vincent's hair strands that had been neatly wrapped in clear plastic.

"So, how long will the results last?" mahen asked a laboratory worker.
"At the earliest two weeks, and at the latest four weeks."
"Okay, thank you."
After handing over a hair sample, Mahen rushed to go home. I can't wait to spend until next week. Luckily, Nova went straight to Paris for a few weeks after her work was done.
The crowd of the capital did not make Mahen's spirit recede to go home soon. All his life, only this time he wanted to go home immediately. Usually after the work is done, the man will go hangout with his college friends first.
Arriving at home, Mahen was made to panic because the condition of the house was so quiet. He searches for Vika and Vincent in every corner of the house. Not finding their whereabouts, Mahen tries to call Vika.
The panic grew when Vika's mobile number could not be reached. There are only greetings from mobile operators that sound melodious. He doesn't know where to look for Vika and Vincent.
Mahen could only wait for that day. Hope Vika goes home. All day he was made senewen because of the existence of Vika who was out of nowhere. In times of chaos, the man would definitely prefer to sleep.
Mahen poured his body over the living room sofa. He put on headphones and played his favorite song. It didn't take long for Mahen to move into dreamland.
Mahen's eyes opened when he felt his face wet. In front of him is now emblazoned with a funny face Vincent who is showing off his four newly grown teeth. Inhaled in the distinctive aroma of the baby attached to Vincent's body.
"Hi, Boy! Where's it?" mahen asked though he wouldn't get an answer from Vincent's tiny lips.
Vincent smiled in response to Mahen's words. The ten-month-old baby raised his hand to be held. Mahen immediately lifted Vincent's body like an airplane.
Hearing Vincent laughing, Vika approached the boy. He brought a bowl of team rice for Vincent.
"Let's eat first, honey," said Vika.
Now Vincent's body has moved in Vika's lap. The baby seemed enthusiastic about the food the mother brought.
"Where?" ask Mahen.
"Hospital," Vika answered him briefly.
"Who's sick?"
"Vincent."
"Are you lying?"
That instant also Vika raised a sharp gaze towards Mahen. Mahen who felt innocent just moved his mouth forming the word 'what'.
"I'm serious, Vincent is sick. From birth he had abnormalities in his kidneys" said Vika.
Mahen's heart trembled. He did not expect the baby who seemed to grow healthy, was sick. He saw Vincent's sinless face. I don't know why the baby looks so strong. During his stay at home, he never cried like a sick baby.
