"Are you sure you're going straight home?" Ask Selfia when the car stops because of the red light.
"I don't know if I'm actually sure, but there's no other choice for me than to go home and tell my parents the truth."
"Yes, may my parents understand and forgive you." Selfia.
Helena only smiled faintly, Helena did not know that Ernesto's mind had been poisoned by Selfia.
The car entered Helena's yard...
"Thank you Selfia...,"
"Same, let me know if you need anything."
Helena smiled before she finally got out of the car and ran a little because it was still raining hard.

"Damour..."
Mama Helena, who was unable to sleep at the time, walked straight to the door as soon as she heard the sound to the doorkeeper and she was surprised to find Helena in front of her.
"Mama..."
Helena immediately hugged her mother, while the Papa who had just come out of the other room and stood behind the mother, immediately looked at Helena with a sharp gaze of Helena.
"Lad..." Screeched Helena.
"Papa's disappointed with you."
Deg !!
Helena immediately took off her embrace and looked at the mother.
"Why are you embarrassing our family, son?" peekik.
"Ma, let Kak Helena change first." Said Helena's sister.
Mama looked at Papa as if asking for permission to let Helena into the room and change clothes.
"Papa wait for your explanation in the living room." Pekik Papa Helena's.
Lalisa immediately pulled Helena's hand to enter the room.
In the room...
"Lalisa, what's wrong?"
"Some time ago, the family of Ernesto's brother came, they were disappointed with brother, because..." Lalisa did not continue her words.
"Because what?" ask Helena.
"Sister, why would you accept Ernesto's proposal if you still love another man?"
"Lalisa, go get some rest. Brother will meet mom and dad." Helena.
Lalisa hugged Helena.
"Hopefully what you do, it won't bring anything bad to your family."
"Lalisa, why are you talking like that?" Ask Helena.
"So...."
Not yet Lalisa spoke, mama went into the room.
"Helena, mama came here to see if you're ready or not?"
"I'm ready ma." cried Helena.
"Alright, you must face Papa to account for what you have done."
Helena smiled and took a deep breath.
Lalisa wants to come along but Mama gives the code so that Lalisa stays in the room.
"Ma..." Call Helena.
"Helena, Mama thinks you've forgotten that guy. Mama was really happy when you accepted Ernesto's presence, even you accepted his proposal."
"Ma, Papa and Papa are planning my wedding with Ernesto. Not me."
"So, you blame us for marrying you to Ernesto?"
"It's not like that..."
"Didn't when Papa said do you want to marry Ernesto, you answer with whatever answer?"
Helena fell silent, only to realize that the fault was entirely with her.
If only when the Papa asked him, and Helena replied that she was not ready for a household. Maybe this won't happen.
Now, Helena must face the consequences of her actions.
Helena is now sitting in front of her Mom and Dad.
"Are you aware of the consequences of your actions?" Ask papa.
"I'm sorry Helena pa." Screeched Helena.
"Why?, what is so special about the man that you dare say that you still love him in the presence of the man who is already your husband?" Papa's complaint while crying.
"Lad..." Helena immediately rested before the Papa as soon as she found out that the Papa was crying.
"I'm sorry Helena pa, Helena reflexively said that because Ernesto forced Helena to serve him, even though Helena had asked Ernesto for time."
"What if Ernesto forced you to serve him, wouldn't it be your duty as a wife to serve your husband on the first night of your marriage?"
"Hiks hiks, Helena thought Ernesto was a different man, considering that for these few days, Ernesto had always been kind and friendly to Helena."
"Son, if it's tied up in marriage. It is not good to mention the name of another man in front of the husband. Moreover, you blatantly said that you still love men other than your husband." Say Mama.
"You've defiled our family name." Papa.
"Now, we have to pay compensation for what you did."Imbuh Mama's.
"Residence?" Ask Helena.
"Ernesto's family will take what we have." Mama said with tears.
"All we have?" Ask Helena.
"Home, company, and everything we have. And that's because of you. Supposedly, if you're not ready for marriage you don't have to give the answer whatever when Papa asks you." Papa.
"Papa, I'm sorry."
"Helena, now your apologies won't be able to return what they've taken."
"Lad..."
"You've made the company that Papa woke up desperately vanish in a matter of minutes. Papa is disappointed not because you made us poor, but you have tarnished the good image of our family."
"Lad..."
"Well, go back to your room and pack."
"Packaged?"
"Ernesto's family wants us to vacate this house immediately, tomorrow morning." Mama said as she got up after Papa got up from her seat and left Helena who was still sitting on the floor.
"Mama..."
"We will be exiled because we have desecrated a marriage. This is the first time a woman has uttered a word she shouldn't have spoken to her husband on the first night of their marriage."
"Mama..."
The real mother wanted to hug Helena, choosing to leave immediately from there.
Lalisa who had been listening behind the wall, went straight to Helena so as to make sure that her parents had entered the room.
"Sister..."
Lalisa hugged Helena, and Helena cried again in Lalisa's arms.
"Sister just accidentally said that brother still loves Alvino. But, that doesn't mean you want bad things to happen to your marriage."
"Sister, it's not good to be too sorry for what has happened because, they can no longer be in negotiations."
Lalisa later said that Ernesto's family also came along with Ernesto.
Helena truly regretted her actions, had she let Ernesto take his due. Although he must be hurt but at least the honor and dignity of his family is maintained.
Now, like the saying that rice has become porridge..
That is how Helena feels. He could no longer make something that had already become porridge back into rice.
That night, Lalisa invites Helena to sleep with him. But, in fact, Helena can not sleep. He thought about his family's fate as a result of his actions.
"I need to talk to Ernesto. I should be able to take Ernesto's heart before it's too late."
