In the afternoon, when the sun began to hide behind his complaints.
Aisha who had just arrived after deciding to return home from the hospital walked through the hallway of the mansion which was going to lead to a room.
While Aisha's husband still lives there under the pretext of taking care of the administration and others.
She did not mind it, as long as her husband did not exceed the limit.
Tok tok tok tok
The white-painted wooden door was knocked from the outside. The boy holding a baby turned his eyes towards the door. He put his sister slowly on the bed.
Then walked over and opened the door a little, peeking at who was knocking.
"Hallo baby, can I come in?" Sapa Aisha quietly with a gentle smile. Devan, who was panicking when he recognized that the woman in front of him was the mistress of this mansion, was a little quiet.
Open the door and let the sweet lady in.
"Please sit down, madam." Aisha sat on the bed near the sleeping baby girl. One of the servants is assigned to feed and take care of Devan and Krystal.
"Did Devan feel lonely in this room. In this hallway only one room is filled. Does Devan want to move to another room?" He gently stroked Devan's head.
"No madam, this is enough for the three of us." Devan replied awkwardly.
Aisha notices a table dominated by trophies and medals that she believes belong to this boy. He can see the intelligence in Dev's eyes.
He believes Devan will be the man in the future.
"May I ask you something?" Devan
"Say, whatever I'll answer."
"Where's my mom?" Wilhelmina hasn't come home since yesterday. The boy misses the woman who gave birth to him.
Worried something bad happened.
"Your mom has a job to take care of. In a few days he'll be home, but Devan won't have to worry, because I'll keep you company as long as your mother's gone." Aisha smiled gently as she stroked Devan's cheek.
The woman also held Krystal who was almost crying from just waking up.
Her maternal soul had truly been perfectly formed.
"From now on don't be awkward with me, Devan can think of me like a parent. Okay?" Aisha sincerely uttered that sentence. Although she knew that the two children were the children of her husband's ex-lover.
But looking at the two, for some reason his motherly soul appeared.
Aisha felt a great change in herself after passing through these final events.
Aisha who is naughty, agile and spoiled has become a little more mature in dealing with the problems in her household. Don't know what the cause is.

The next day, when Wilhelmina's eyelids opened the first time the woman saw was a spacious room dominated by the color broken white.
His forehead wrinkled as he looked at the infusion hose attached to his hand.
Suddenly the woman grimaced, feeling her whole body crumbling. Wilhelmina now remembered everything.
The moment John tortured him so vilely, without the slightest mercy.
The day he was treated like a pet and a guinea pig.
Oh my God, remembering that makes his heart beat. Yesterday's incident really opened up the trauma that he had almost lost.
But the frightened face suddenly changed pias, Wilhelmina remembered her two children who must be currently looking for her.
Moreover, she is still breastfeeding, Krystal must be currently starving considering she does not know how long affected in the anesthetic given the doctor.
"My son.." The woman sat up, there was no one in the room. He remembers the last time Arthur brought him here, but nowhere is the man now.
"Mrs!" A female nurse who had just entered the room was shocked to see Wilhelmina attempting to remove the infusion hose attached to her hand.
"Don't ma'am, this can't be removed before the doctor's permission." Calls warn.
"I have to leave immediately, can you take care of my return right now?."
"The mother has not been able to go home because she is still in the recovery stage, preferably-" the nurse's words were not completed when the typical male baritone voice said accompanied by an open door.
"He'll stay here!" Arthur had just entered the room after taking care of the administration and expenses during his ex's treatment. The man looked well dressed in a navy suit and shirt.
"But Arthur, I've long since left my children they must be confused looking for me now." Anxiety struck his heart which was a normal feeling for a mother who was far away from his baby.
"Other people will take care of them, what can you do with your situation like this? It will only make them sad!" Arthur flat out. He had known Wilhelmina for a long time, who loved children. They promised to have more than 12 children before they were all smashed to pieces by treason.
The woman looked at the netra of her former lover in, her heart was calm to get this kind of treatment that she had not received for a long time.
A calm and peaceful feeling when others care about you and try to protect you. All this time she continued to stand on her own feet to survive all the heartache incised by her husband.
Wilhelmina sometimes cursed his brain so stupid, why was it just tempted by the treasures of Arthur Anderson without realizing how kind the man was.
"Arthur, I'm sorry. " In the midst of the silence created for a moment, the bright-eyed woman suddenly said an apology. Arthur who was still standing three meters away from him was only silent.
"Please forgive what I did in the past. I used to be so greedy that the treasures had unknowingly done such a barbaric thing. How evil I am until the heart betrays you. I'm sorry Arthur." He said as he looked at Arthur's faithful face not displaying any expression.
"Arthur, say something?"
"Other thing do I have to say?! You see the impact of your behavior first. Watch yourself full of wounds and bruises! If you hadn't done that in the past, you'd be fine now and living happily." Arthur broke half his emotions.
He wanted to ask a question that had been buried in his mind. Why did you leave me? Why did you pick that jerk John? What is less than me?. But his throat seemed choked to ask that.
Because Arthur already knows why. Wilhelmina only wanted position and wealth, also because at that time Arthur was not as cool as it is today. But I don't know why he always denied that reason.
"I know, I was stupid and I'm so sorry. But will you forgive me?" Hope will be forgiven by the man before him has appeared a long time ago, but only now he can realize it.
The woman hopes that Arthur is still willing to accept her as before, especially now that she is in need of protection and affection for someone to continue her life.
Silent.
"Arthur. Can you give me one more chance?" Wilhelmina did not know herself. Yes, he is aware and understands very well that he does not know himself by asking for a chance at a handsome man who stands towering in front of him. But isn't it better to try than not at all?
"Stop talking Wilhelmina bullshit!" Now the man finally spoke up after a long silence and just listened.
Arthur turned with wide strides towards the door before a single sentence of the woman who had filled the day stopped him.
"Devan is your son!" In a loud voice he spoke. Sontak makes Arthur stop and flip his athletic body.
His brows were sharp as if asking for an explanation.
"Don't you feel that Dev looks a lot like you? Devan is also very smart just like you. I admit Krystal was my son with that mean guy, but not with Dev!"
Deg.
Arthur went silent to digest the woman in front of him. His brain still needs time to prepare a response to the brown woman's speech.
How could it be, after all these years Wilhelmina and Arthur's love story has ended.
Then lightly the woman said that they had children.
"So talk! Your bullshit really doesn't make any sense." Tukas Arthur's. His tone described the confusion and anxiety in his mind.
Wilhelmina smiled wryly. With great difficulty the woman of two children tried to get up while grazing the pole of the infusion.
Swinging his legs towards Arthur with a shunt.
"Do you remember the week before our wedding?" Wilhelmina. The memory that was still embedded was clearly in the man's brain. Yeah, he remembered. If not mistaken it was a Saturday where he, Wilhelmina, John, and other friends went to a club in the middle of the city.
"You reminding? If you don't remember it, I'll give you time to remember!" The woman's tone slightly increased.
Arthur's mind looked at the past that he didn't really want to remember.
Arthur really wants to paralyze the memory in those dark times but in fact he was unable.
That night was the night they celebrated the success of Arthur who gained the trust of clients to hold a sizable project.
Anderson Group company which at that time was a little weak because of the rise of irresponsible officials.
Acquiring a project that can pull a family heritage company from the brink of collapse is something to celebrate.
"Dear drink again?" Wilhelmina with a dress on her knees just arrived and sat down to her lover.
In his hand carried a glass of drink that did not need to be asked anymore, it must have been an intoxicating alcoholic drink.
"No, enough baby! I can't drive with focus if I drink again." At that time Arthur is not a man who likes to drink too much, he will only drink alcohol during winter where the weather is very cold.
"We can stay at a hotel near here if you can't drive, or can I drive?. " Rose again.
Arthur's eyes swept around, his friend always adding every time the waiter thrust a glass. Makes him a little insecure.
"Don't doubt Mr. CEO, your project won't run away just because of a glass of wine! Ha ha ha!" One of his friends who was drunk said so.
John, William, Jack and his other friends are engrossed in his own world. Talk to women who are wandering around them.
"Look at your other friends. Look at John! Come on, don't be so geeky!" The words of the woman he loved offended Arthur a little. He does not want to be judged as a geeky man who is not manly just because he is not used to drinking alcohol like his friends.
His high grip made the young man continue to receive glass from his lover without stopping.
A few hours later.
"Darling, you seem to be drunk. I'm sorry I gave you too much to drink." Wilhelmina was concerned, she had unknowingly made her lover heavily drunk.
"I can't drive in this situation."
"I can't either because my head is also dizzy." As the woman said, she also gulped too much.
At last that night they decided to rent a room at the club. Only one room was left, making them inevitably have to stay in the room.
And either who started it first, either Arthur or Wilhelmina, but both of them did the intimate thing.
"Don't feel guilty, baby, we're getting married soon anyway." Wilhelmina said in the morning when Arthur apologized to her for feeling guilty. The two did not remember anything because they were equally drunk.
***
"So how? Do you remember Mr Anderson?! Devan is your son and no one can deny that fact!. Maybe you're asking me why I just told you now, it's all because after I got married to John that guy kept me locked up like a pet. We even moved to another city so I couldn't see you until now Arthur!" Wilhelmina cried out in despair with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"That's impossible." Arthur was wrong. He remembered doing that, but never expected anything else let alone to have a child with the woman in front of him
Their conversation was too serious to realize that from the opening of the door there was an ear that caught the whole conversation.
