The Shackles of Love The Single Heir

Chapters 70.

The next morning, Andra calls Miko and apologizes for last night's incident. It's not that he didn't come, but there was a small incident that prevented him from seeing Miko.

After hearing the explanation from Andra, Miko tried to understand it. Maybe the man's health was a little compromised, that's what Miko thought at the moment.

Andra asks Miko to reunite with her, but Miko refuses on the grounds of a lot of work she has to finish. Andra was disappointed to hear that.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

During the day, Maura takes Diona down the street to a shopping mall not far from the office.

Maybe with a little entertainment, Diona can return as usual. Sweet child who understands the busyness of his mother, never fuss if left with Tuti and his opinion Doni.

In a kids area, Diona looks carefree playing all kinds of games. The little girl ran around as she pleased and messed up whatever was in front of her eyes, of course under the watchful eye of Maura and Tuti who always went along with her.

In the same place, Adila and Andra are also taking their sons to play there. Upon entering the ball bath area, Andra accompanied her son who was just learning to walk.

Andra accidentally saw Diona from a short distance away. For some reason, he felt like he had seen the little girl before.

"Hello pretty, what's her name, son?" greet Andra while pinching Diona's cheek.

"Diona Om" replied Tuti.

"A beautiful name, just like the person" Andra said.

Diona reached for Andra's body, then sat on her lap and hugged the man. He looks comfortable with Andra. Tuti became confused, not usually Diona that close to the person she just met.

"I'm sorry, sir," Tuti took Diona from Andra's lap, and the little girl cried.

"Pi, Pi," whined Diona.

Tuti's distraught seeing Diona's behavior. Because the little girl did not want to be quiet, Tuti took her to the toilet following Maura.

"Diona, dear Mami why cry?" asked Maura who had just come out of the toilet.

"Sorry Mom, Diona doesn't want to be with me. He even tackles each other." replied Tuti.

"Paste each other how?" maura asked exalting her tone.

Tuti told me everything, it made Maura surprised. Diona was not an easy child to get close to others, what more people she had never met before.

"Who is that guy?" asked Maura curiously.

"Don't know Mom, I don't know." replied Tuti, shaking his head.

Arriving at the play area, Maura asks Tuti to show who the person is. Unfortunately, that person was no longer there. Maura decided to bring her daughter back to the office.

On the way, Maura's phone suddenly rang. Maura, who was driving, asked Tuti to pick up his phone in the bag.

When the phone was already in Tuti's grasp, the girl was stunned staring at Maura's cellphone screen that was still on. He scratched his head that was not itchy at all.

"Who's calling?" maura asked as she glanced towards Tuti.

"It's dead, ma'am" replied Tuti with an unusual look.

"Why is your face so weird?" asked Maura curiously.

"Sorry Mom, if you know who this is?" tanya Tuti while turning the phone back on.

"Photo of the late Diona's Papacy, why ask that?" maura answered with a question.

Tuti jumped in shock, his lips twitching to say. His face changed in an instant. How could it be his picture of the deceased papi Diona, while he had just seen the man inside the kids area. The same guy, who makes Diona fussy.

"Ti, no Ma'am." Tuti was confused what to say.

"Mom, is it true that Diona's Papa is dead?" tanya Tuti made sure.

"Yes, 2 years ago in an accident." Maura replied with an unusual look, Tuti's question made her sad and remembered her husband again.

"Are you sure? Did you see Diona's Papa's body yourself?" Tuti's question was cornered, making Maura step on the brake pedal and pull her car over the side of the road.

"What do you mean by this question, Tuti?" maura asked with a sharp look.

"Sorry Mom, I didn't mean anything. I just want to make sure" replied Tuti.

"What do you want to make sure?" Maura breathed a heavy sigh.

"My husband's body was charred with his car, all that was left was his bones."

Maura was powerless to endure her grief, telling her it made her fragile. For 2 years, she never forgot her husband. To him, Dion was still alive in his heart.

"I'm sorry Mom, I didn't mean to make Mom sad." Tuti tried to catch his breath.

"The man I told you about earlier, he's a lot like Diona's Papa."

"Seeer"

Maura's blood implied hearing that, her heartbeat raced with the roar of breath that was increasingly hunting. His eyes turned red, his hands and mouth suddenly shook.

"Tuti, what are you saying?" maura asked, her emotions becoming unstable.

"One more time I'm sorry, ma'am, but I really saw it. Diona grabbed him, hugged him and sat on his lap. That's why Diona cried, she didn't want me to take it. She was comfortable with the man." explained Tuti with teary eyes.

Maura swallowed her cries, her feelings changing erratically. Whether all this was the answer to all his prayers, his conviction arose again upon hearing Tuti's explanation.

Without waiting for long, Maura rubbed her face rough. He rushes off the handbrake and steps on the gas pedal. Turn the car around and go back to the mall.

Arriving at the parking lot, Maura asks Tuti to wait for her in the car. Maura ran like a possessed person, combing every corner of the mall with hopes so high.

"Darling, is that you?" maura's mind was full of hope. Her tears just kept dripping and running to and fro like crazy.

Maura re-enters the kids area, her eyeballs rolling in search of the whereabouts of the man she believes to be her husband, the man she loves so much.

A few minutes passed, Maura had to swallow her disappointment. He didn't find the man's nose at all.

In his desperation, he approached the children's area employee who was on duty in front of the entrance. Take out his phone and open the photo gallery stored in it.

"Excuse me, may I ask you a question?" maura said with a sigh of relief.

"Mom, can I help you?" answer the young man.

Maura thrust out her still-lit phone screen, revealing a photo of Dion with her.

"Did you see this guy? My baby sister said, she just came from the inside." asked Maura.

The man stared at Maura's phone screen intently. While shaking his waist, the man nodded his head.

"Yes ma'am, this guy was just here. But he's been out with a woman and a little boy." explained the young man.

Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, Maura's heart was shaken to hear that. His feet were limp, he sat down lethargic with tears falling. There was little hope he found from the man's explanation.
