Amalia and Juno sat on the bed, leaning back against the bed. They were still silent and thinking about what Arion had said earlier.
"What was the sin of our family in the past, that we should experience something like this, Pa?" Amalia said with a sad face.
Juno clasped Lia's hand. "We pray that what Arion says is not true, Ma."
Lia looked at her husband. "Didn't you remember what Arion said when he admitted that Alzarin's son was his. He said he was ready to do a DNA test. He was so sure that the child Alza conceived was his son. That means he knows about Dennis, Pah."
Juno carried Lia in her arms.
"We must not assume until there is valid evidence of this."
"Well, how about we meet Dennis tomorrow. He has to explain everything!"
Juno felt that what his wife said had a point as well. "Yes, Ma. We'll meet Dennis tomorrow. Now let's just rest."
The next day, Juno and Lia plan to meet Dennis at his house. It is better to solve the problem as quickly as possible than to continue to drag on. That was Lia's thinking.
When she arrives at Dennis's housing complex, Lia sees that Dennis's car is out of the house.
"Bah, that's Dennis' car. Let's hurry up and follow him!" said Lia while pointing towards the black sedan car that was driving.
"Yes, Ma. We follow from a distance. Later if it's found out Dennis can be bad, Ma."
Lia agreed with her husband's words. They followed Dennis's car until he arrived at a hospital.
"Pa, how did Dennis go to the hospital? Is she not sick?"
"Don't know, Ma. We better get down first!"
Lia immediately went down and followed Dennis. Lia was lucky that Dennis was unaware of his presence.
"Pa, Dennis is seeing a doctor."
Curious, Lia asked a nurse who was there. The nurse mentioned that Dennis went to see Dr. Wildan, an anthology doctor.
"Pa, why did Dennis see an anthology doctor? It must have something to do with her fertility right?" Lia started to worry.
"Calm down, Ma. We don't know what Dennis did with that doctor."
After waiting for a while, Dennis walked out of Wildan's doctor's office. The doctor patted Dennis on the back.
"Prophey, Nis. I'm sure you and Alza will be given their best."
Dennis sat down in the doldrums on the bench waiting. He stared at the results of his test that showed the same results as before.
"Thank you, Wil. Now I'm really sure that kid isn't my son."
"Dragon!" Lia's voice made Dennis turn his head.
"Mama? Papa?" Dennis was shocked to see his parents there.
"Dragon!" Lia hugged Dennis. The cries of sadness and disappointment could not be contained anymore by Lia.
"I'm sorry brother, Ma, Pa..." Dennis was crying with his parents.

Alzarin walked towards the front door of the house because someone pressed the bell.
"Is there anyone who's missed?"
Alza opened the door immediately. How shocked Alza was when she saw Arion in front of her house.
"You?!" Alza immediately closed the door again, but Arion immediately held him back.
"Go you! Don't bother me!"
"the alza! Listen to me first! We have something to talk about!"
"There's nothing to talk about! You're a bad man!"
"Alza, I beg you! Please listen to me!"
Arion pushed the door until Alza staggered back.
"the alza! You okay?" Arion immediately restrains Alza's body from falling.
"Deliver! I'm okay!" Alza turned her face away.
"Alza, listen to me!"
"Alza, I want us to do a DNA test on the fetus you're carrying." Arion who did not like to speak stale immediately expressed the intention of his arrival.
"Crazy basic! I don't want to do that!" reject Alza firmly.
"If you are still stubborn, it will be difficult for the baby you bear. Didn't Dennis accept the kid? I'll take responsibility, Alza. Because it's my son!"
"Enough! This kid is not your son or anyone! This child is my son!" exciting Alza.
Arion tries to be patient against Alza. "alright. Maybe you want to know first why I'm so sure that the kid is my son. Do you remember when you were on your honeymoon with Dennis? That night Dennis left the room wanting to take care of work. Do you remember?"
Suddenly Alza was silent. His memory was fixed the night he thought Arion was Dennis. And yes, they did.
Alza realized that at that time there was something different with Dennis. But since Alza is already lulled with all Arion's touches, Alza doesn't realize that the one who touched her isn't her husband.
Plus the dim lights of the room that made Alza not clear to see who the man who was spending the night with him. Arion has prepared everything. Arion arranged everything neatly.
Arion does this knowing Dennis can't give Alza a descent. Surely if the plan works, Arion will easily take Alza from Dennis. And it turns out Arion's plan is going well.
It's just that Alza's attitude is unpredictable. Arion thought Alza would accept him if he knew they were best friends from childhood. Friends who spent time together while still in an orphanage.
"I'm Arya, Alza. Arya your best friend in the orphanage." Arion honestly admits who he really is.
Alza. "Go! Arya wouldn't do such a lowly thing! Go!"
Alza pushes Arion's body out of his house.
"GO! Don't ever show your nose in front of me again!"
Alza slammed the door pretty hard. Alza's cries finally broke. He beat his chest tight.
How could he have to meet again with Arya but with this complicated condition?
Alza sat curled up while hugging her knees. Alza never thought that her life path would be this complicated.

Dennis arrives at the office with his lesion face. There was no happiness on his face.
"So it is true that the child conceived by Alzarin was the son of Arion. The alza... Did you do this to me on purpose?"
"Sir Dennis, just daydream Sir!" Someone's voice resuscitated Dennis' daydream.
"Ah, not really."
"Now our division is deserted sir after Alza resigns. I heard, Alza is pregnant. Congratulations, sir!" Alza's office friend Mirna extends her hand congratulating Dennis.
Doubtfully Dennis accepted Mirna's hand. "Thank you, Mirna. You can go back to work!"
"Good, sir."
Dennis closed his eyes hearing Mirna's congratulations. His already hot heart was now burning.
Meanwhile, Alza came out of the house on foot. Arion's story made Alza worse.
"You're a disgusting wife, Alza. How could you not know that it wasn't your husband?"
Alza's tears kept flowing. He held his flat stomach.
"Will it be an illegitimate child like you? You better just die!" Alza beat her stomach while walking. He hoped the fetus in his womb could fall.
The blazing rays of the sun made Alza's body start to fatigue. Alza doesn't care. He just wants the child he has left for good.
But Lia's words suddenly ringed in his ears.
"Don't think about it. This kid is still your son. You have to take good care of him. It's God's care, son. Not everyone can get a gift like you. Whoever the father of your baby is, this baby deserves to live. Don't think about dropping it. Yea?"
Alza was crying in silence. His body was shaken violently.
"I have to how?"
Alza crossed the highway without looking right or left. His tired body is no longer strong to support his weight.
BRUK!
Alza fell unconscious to coincide with a car passing in front of her.
"Sir, someone fainted!"
