The Widow of One Billion
The Part 74
Seeing that Juna was silent, Delia said after a long swipe, “Sit down, tell me what you found?”
Juna sat down after being invited so politely and calmly, in the presence of a woman who looked graceful and beautiful even though some of her hair started to whiten.
“Are you sure you want to hear everything, Mistress?”
“Of course, why not? He's my son, isn't he?”
“Ya, I've made sure everything.”
Delia nodded as she looked at the man before her in seriousness, as if showing a readiness of heart, to listen even to the worst in what happened, to her son whom she had been looking for and longing for.
After seeing the calmness of Delia, Juna also told one by one the facts he found about the boss's daughter, the woman, he intermittently took a deep breath before continuing episode after episode that occurred in detail.
When Juna said about the circumstances one night that forced a woman to sell herself, then Delia clenched her hands and shed tears.
Her mouth said, “If she had stayed by my side, then none of this would have happened, I failed to be a mother .. I failed to be a good parent, Juna!”
The woman's cry was so bitter and slashing, Juna's heart was heavy to see it, however Delia was a woman whose soul was sometimes fragile and needed strength. However, as an assistant, he simply pulled out two sheets of tissue and gave it to the woman.
However, with a firm voice the woman said, “Continue ..!” While wiping his tears with a tissue from Juna.
Story after story just flowed from Juna's mouth, there was a time when Delia smiled and then returned to shed tears, until the story ended the woman remained silent in disbelief with everything she heard how tragic the fate of her daughter so far.

In a different place and time.
Merlin has been in hospital for two days but there has been no good news of his health. Jack and Mira, for two days, always stop by the hospital where Merlin is treated, before and after work. The two of them had never stayed there but, they kept a close eye on the progress and changes.
Besides Jack really wants, the best for his mom. The woman's life-supporting medical devices are still attached to her body. Even today Merlin's situation is worse than yesterday.
Jack and Mira are already in Merlin's treatment room. It is undeniable that the feeling of sadness remains, and maybe that is all he feels at this moment. The two days that have passed felt so heavy, when it came to seeing our loved ones lying weakly helpless.
"Ma... It's Jack, I'm off to work first, yeah!" Said Jack invites the mother to talk, Even though the one being spoken to did not respond to anything.
"Later... Jack came home from work to eat the food you were cooking. So, wake up, yeah, Ma! Don't sleep too long ...." Jack kept asking his mother to talk.
It was just how sad they had felt these past two days. By always hoping there will be a miracle given to the recovery of Merlin.
After a long time they invited the mother to talk, even though there was no response from the person, they still did not give up. To make Merlin quickly wake up from his long slumber.
"Come on! we're going to the office!" Take Jack to his wife and stand up from a chair near the patient's bed.
"Yes, come!" Mira nodded slowly, as she stepped up, a sign of agreeing with the husband's invitation.
"Ma... We go to work first, yeah!" Said Jack while peeping a glance at the mother's forehead.
I don't know, whether Merlin heard, felt it or not, about all the things that were nearby. However, his brain was too weak to respond to everything. However, without Jack and Mira knowing, a clear liquid came out of the corner of his eye.
They both came out of the treatment room that Merlin was in, towards the parking lot. Jack walks with his wife in his arms, as if to show the world and everyone that he is the owner of Mira, a very special woman for him.
A few pairs of eyes looked towards them as the affection they showed was extremely envious. A pair of handsome men and beautiful women.
That's how it is, even though Mira already has one child and is now pregnant, but, does not reduce her beauty. It looks even more beautiful now than before.
After walking down the corridor and down the elevator, they are now in the neighborhood where Jack parked his car there. He opens the door for Mira and they come in and sit down wearing his seatbelt. Slowly the four-wheeled vehicles they ride also leave the hospital yard until they face the busyness on the streets.
Then the vehicle that morning had started to crowded the road. The activities of the inhabitants of the earth have already begun. Where morning is the beginning will start the activity. But not a few mornings are used for sleep. Usually all of that because overnight they have to use most of their time to work.
The journey they took was quite long, because the distance from the hospital to the office was quite far.
The vehicle they were riding had already entered the office area. Jack immediately parked it in an ordinary place, where the place was dedicated to the CEO of the company.
Jack as usual treated Mira like a queen in the king's palace.
The car door was opened Jack reached out his hand to help his wife down. Then, they went into the room hand in hand. All employees also focus on the direction of the couple. The look from all of them made Mira look.
"Mas... I'm sorry, see how they look at us?" Mira said she was uncomfortable with what happened at the office this morning. Their looks are hard to understand. It could be staring at them it's sneering or something.
"Why?" Ask the husband.
"Just look at the way they look at us, strange pan... " Answer Mira.
"Obviously, it's just your feelings baby... " Tukas Jack's.
"Ishh,” Saying Woman is short.
"Have, don't mind them!" Jack said while embracing the waist of the wife.
"Yes," Mira was so nervous when Jack treated her like that in the presence of employees.
After a while ago, they arrived at their destination, the top floor, where Jack and Mira were so close together. So it's not hard for them.
