...Author point of view....

Five days later.

The piercing cold of the night, made everyone put on thick clothes. The weather was really very cold, the sky was so ash, describing Jessie's mood tonight. He sat down on his bed, looking at Lauryn's face, which was very calm when he fell asleep.

Jessie breathed a long breath. Lamenting her terrible fate, Lauryn will be picked up by Troy in two days. And he will live alone, without anyone accompanying him.

“Don't be like Mama huh, someday, Lauryn will be a good Mom.” Jessie said gently, with a faint smile on her lips. Because he signed the custody transfer papers from Troy that day.

The day Troy entered his body.

Geck.

Geck.

Geck.

Jessie got up from her seat, she immediately went outside the room, but as a few steps towards the door to open it, Jessie held back her steps. Slowly he sat down and heard who was coming.

There was no sound from there, making Jessie afraid, of the arrival of bad people in her house. Especially Troy's arrival. Jessie shudders, what if Lauryn is taken away before his time?

“Open your door Jessie.” that heavy voice is not the voice of a man. But a woman. Jessie felt her desire to open the door suddenly appear.

Cklek.

The door opened, revealing who was coming. Jessie grinned her forehead confused. It was as if he had seen the woman in front of him, but where? Jessie forgot about it.

“Efsun.” said the woman with eyes that looked at Jessie sharply. Like, wanted to kill him alive. “Troy wife, the most loved.” Efsun's slanted smile is countered by Jessie with her cool, flat look.

“I just want to give you money, as a down payment. Because of your happiness I can buy with some money on this paper. I hope you're not a crafty woman, Jessie. ” Efsun throws that check in front of Jessie's face flushed with anger.

Efsun turned around to go home, with his body turned back to Jessie, as he wanted to leave immediately, Efsun suddenly held back his steps.

“Is not the happiness of a child the happiness of his mother too? You'll see Lauryn's happiness when his life is perfect. With me, Troy, and Nessie. Very ba-family ”

“Aww!!”

Jessie pulled Efsun's hair back, she grabbed Efsun's hair hard. “Let go of me Jessie.” growled at Efsun with reddened eyes, Jessie flicked her hand to Efsun's cheek.

Plakk.

Jessie slaps Efsun hard. Only then did he push Efsun out, and immediately close also locked the door quickly.

Brakkk's.

Jessie's breathing panted, her back withered limply leaning against the door behind her. Jessie couldn't imagine that Lauryn would be happy when he wasn't with her. Jessie hugged both of her bent knees. Then he hid his red face on his neck.

Troy stiffens his jaw when he finds out that Efsun has gone to visit Jessie's house. In his study, Troy paced back and forth unsettled, fearing that Efsun would do nothing to Jessie.

“Master, mistress Efsun has come home.” said the bodyguard firmly. Troy held back his soon-to-be-peaking anger.

“Pull Efsun, and bring it before me. ” not five minutes Troy ordered it, Efsun was already taken by force with both bodyguards on his left right side.

“Let go of me stupid!” pekik Efsun was disgusted by the two men who were holding his arms to carry him before Troy. Troy nodded at a glance as a gesture for the bodyguard to leave. In that room, only he and Efsun remained.

“What are you doing Efsun. ” furious Troy felt annoyed. Efsun threw his gaze to the side. Troy clasped Efsun's chin, then brought the face, to look at him.

“Say.” press Troy very intimidating.

“Introducing myself as your wife. That's it already. Hows it? a good introduction is not. ” Efsun said with a sly smile on his lips. Makes Troy's eyes sharpen.

“What did you say Efsun?” Troy gripped Efsun's chin getting louder. Making Efsun grimace in pain, Troy immediately released his grip on Efsun's chin.

He turned to the terrace, clutching a balcony railing made of iron. Troy was very upset. But he could not vent his frustration to Efsun.

“Troy..” call Efsun desperate.

“Don't make me hate you Efsun. Don't make me forget my responsibility to you. Don't forget that we're divorced. I can't get you on top if you still hurt the woman I love. Don't be consumed by your past. Don't kill your ego just to avenge you, which he doesn't deserve to blame. Jessie doesn't even know anything about you. He has no fault whatsoever against us.”

Troy said at length, looking straight at his eyes. Efsun who saw the side of Troy's face from the side, fell silent.

“He killed my son. Because of him I lost your love. Because of her presence my life is ruined.” press Efsun with tears that start to come down wet his cheeks.

“You killed your own son. You hurt yourself, so you don't pay attention to your content. Our son was killed for your own actions. Because you're selfish. Just attach importance to your wishes only. ” reply Troy firmly. Rejecting Efsun's accusations against Jessie

“Why did you abuse me Troy? Didn't you ever say that this was all my fault?” efsun asked in disbelief, with what Troy said.

“For this long, until now, I have only noticed your happiness. Until I forget how to be happy. We have separated Nessie from her mother, then we will immediately separate Lauryn also from her mother.” said Troy was not able to think about what he had done.

“But you're his father. You deserve custody of your two children.” Efsun said trying to manipulate Troy back, rather not being weak for Jessie.

“But Jessie's mom, she's the one who took care of my two kids without a husband. Without family. And only alone.”

“I will do the same if I am in the position of Jessie.” denied Efsun does not want to feel defeated.

“You're different. You had me, your family, and a place to go back to at that time, but you remained stubborn with your own desires. You were the one who wanted a divorce at the time. And all your wishes are fulfilled. But why do you want to get me now Efsun? Though you already know that my heart is only for the woman you just hurt.”

Troy passes away from Efsun, leaving his estranged ex-wife alone on the balcony of Troy's study.

“That's because I felt you were betraying. You betrayed the relationship we built. You have dared to love someone else, other than me. Even planted your seed in the womb of another woman, besides my womb. ” whispered Efsun lirih.
