"Mrs Diamond and the baby are okay. However, he had to be treated for a few days here in order for us to monitor."
Hearing Doctor Kusuma's explanation, both Vishnu and Ratna exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Is my granddaughter really okay, doc?" ask Ratna again.
Doctor Kusuma smiled. "Yes, it's okay, ma'am. Thank goodness he was brought here immediately, so the things we fear need not happen."
"Thank you, Doc, thank you!" said Vishnu, before then the doctor resigned.
Vishnu then sat in front of Intan who seemed to be asleep. The man gently stroked the wife's distended stomach and kissed her hand.
"You scared me" he said softly.
"It's all because of Adelia!" chirps Ratna cynical. "What do you want, that woman? If she's jealous that Intan is pregnant with your child, she should be able to put more effort into dong!" hard continued.
Vishnu was silent, reluctant to respond to his mother's babble. All the man had in mind was now the safety of his baby and Intan himself. However, Ratna continued to babble by bringing up the little mistakes Adelia had made.
"That's it, tomorrow Mama will take care of your divorce! If this continues, it is not impossible that Mama's grandchildren will be back in danger!"
Hearing Ratna's last words, Vishnu turned his eyes to her mother. "Ma, this is my household, so let me decide anything!" his jolt.
Ratna gasped. "Loh, this Mama just wants to help you, Vishnu! You should be able to live quietly with Intan and your child, why should you keep that woman at home."
"Ma!" Vishnu suddenly raised his voice. "Can't don't call Adelia that. After all, she is my rightful wife. All this time I always tried to obey every word Mama, including ignoring my obligations as Adelia's husband. In his eyes right now, I already look really bad, so, please, don't make this worse! Shouldn't Mama's parents help mediate us, instead of pumping?"
Ratna widened her eyes when she heard all the grievances that Vishnu had endured all this time.
"Vishnu, are you wrong Mama?" he asked with an angry face. Ratna of course offended by the words of the son who was judged to be late.
"It's up to you to assume what, obviously I'm tired, and please don't make a noise, Intan needs a break."
Ratna clenched her hands with all her might. All the hatred that he had planted just for Adelia grew bigger.
"I'll make the calculations for you, the lady who doesn't know herself!" muttered.
...**********...
"All right, thank you." Hariadi hung up his phone with someone, then turned to look at Adelia who was sitting on the bed with a blank look.
Adelia nodded her head. "I'm no longer expected here, Pa. If Mas Vishnu wants a divorce, please, I will not get in the way" Adelia replied in a hoarse voice.
Sitting next to Adelia. "I'm sorry, Papa, son. If you don't want to go it's okay."
Adelia shook her head. "I want to start a new life without the frills of Mas Vishnu." Adelia then looked at the father's face with a pushy look. "Pa, I'm sorry for not being able to be a good daughter-in-law. I'm not willing to let Papa go to be in-laws for others, but I also can't be treated like this. Thanks for everything, Pa?"
The tears rolled back down Adelia's cheeks.
Hariadi smiled gently, even though his eyes looked wet. "Whether or not your bond with Vishnu changes nothing. To Papa, you are the only child Papa never had."
Adelia's cry broke again. The two hugged each other to express their affection.
"Mom, can Aminah come?" Aminah who had been standing in the doorway of the room suddenly made a sound. The woman's eyes also looked wet.
Adelia let go of her father's embrace and walked over to Aminah. "Don't Aminah, your life is more secure here. Pray for me, will you?"
"But, Mum?" Aminah was crying again.
Adelia hugged Aminah tightly and calmed her down. "Thank you for your kindness all this time huh? I will definitely not forget you, Aminah," said Adelia Lirih.
Aminah returned the embrace of her master.
The woman then said goodbye to Hariadi and Aminah, who deliberately did not accompany her departure so as not to arouse suspicion.
"Go to the halfway house and find the locked back fence. Open with this key and continue to follow the path. You will find a public lake. That's where you're gonna find a black car that's gonna take you away."
It was a sentence from the father-in-law that Adelia kept on remembering. The woman continued to walk tirelessly after successfully opening the fence behind the halfway house that had been overgrown with shrubs.
Who would have thought, the mansion turned out to have a secret road to the lake and public facilities. Hariadi deliberately closed the road because it was often entered by foreigners.
There was not a single item Adelia had brought, other than just a piece of clothing attached to her body. His phone, wallet, and everything he had were left at Hariadi's behest.
Just as Adelia's feet stepped out toward the lake, a black car was parked not far from there.
A man dressed in all black welcomed Adelia's arrival and asked her to get into the car immediately.
Adelia according. Without looking back, he left the house that had been part of his life for more than ten years.
