BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Helen's Regret

Helen turned to the door as her husband entered the room. It seemed that her husband had just finished talking to Erlangga.

" What the hell's that talking about, Pa? How, till this night?" Helen glanced at the wall clock that had shown ten o'clock in the evening.

" It's just a matter of work, Ma." said Krishna walked up to his bed and laid his body half-lying.

" Is there a problem in the office, Pa?" ask Helen back.

" No, Ma." answered Krishna but the middle-aged man's rough breathing was clearly heard by Helen.

" Is there a problem, Pa?" Helen sensed that there was something her husband did not want her to tell him.

" Nothing, Ma." Again Krishna dismissed his wife's suspicion if there was a problem that he and Erlangga were thinking about.

" Why the hell, Pa? Papa and Erlangga always keep something from Mama?" Helen felt that her son was too favoritistic towards her and her husband, because he always told her something, and hid secrets from her.

Krisna turned to his wife, who was visibly annoyed by his words, and said, "Why do you think that?" tanyanya.

" It's like that, right? Papa knows first about Erlangga and Kayra's marriage. Papa also knew first about their move to this house." Helen was upset.

" Yes maybe because all this time Mama always opposed Erlangga's decision, so Erlangga preferred to tell Papa than Mama." Krisna explained the reason why Erlangga prefers himself to exchange ideas.

" Now you're no longer hostile to Erlangga, Pa. Does Erlangga still not believe in Mama?" helen's protest later.

Krishna looked at his sulking wife. Actually he wanted to tell me about his meeting with Arina. However, he was worried that his wife could not keep a secret. Because he and Erlangga did not want Kayra to know about this any time soon.

" Can Mama be trusted?" krisna asked his wife.

" Don't you still doubt Mama?" helen was upset.

" But you have to promise not to say this to anyone. My mother knew enough about this problem. Is Mama willing to keep this a secret?" Krishna made sure his wife could keep a secret.

" Yes, what is the secret, Ma?" Helen was further intrigued by Krishna's words.

" Papa and Erlangga have discovered the existence of Arina, Ma" said Krishna, finally telling of his meeting with Arina.

" Arena? Arina Sus Rina means Papa?" Surprise is seen on Helen's face when her husband says he met Arina.

" Yes, Ma."

" Where is Sus Rina now, Pa? Did Papa also meet with Danny's son?" Helen seems enthusiastic to know that Arina, the babysitter, and the woman who bore the child of her cousin's sister have been found.

" Papa and Erlangga meet Arina in Bandung. She is now married to a wealthy businessman there. Arina's life now compares to one hundred and eighty degrees of her former life." Krishna tells how the life lived by Arina today.

" Thank God then, Pa. Then how's Sus Rina's son, Pa? Did Papa meet him too?" ask Helen again.

" The boy is not with Arina now. While giving birth, Arina leaves the child to a midwife to be handed over to the orphanage where Arina used to be raised." Krisna told me what happened to Arina and the baby.

" Geez, why would Arina put her baby in an orphanage anyway, Pa? Why would he choose to run away from our home and leave his son in an orphanage instead of being taken care of by us?" Helen is disappointed with Arina's decision to leave her son in an orphanage.

" We can't completely blame Arina, Ma. Arina was young and had no relatives. At that time he was very confused and did not know where to go?! Until finally decided to leave his son to the orphanage." Krisna was wise not to blame Arina, because after all Arina was the victim of the actions of his wife's cousin.

" Oh yes, Ma. Is it true that when we left Arina and Erlangga out of town, Mama told Danny to come home?" Krisna remembered the story of the arrival of Danny who returned to rape Arina in a state of old pregnant Arina.

" Hmmm, Mama didn't tell Danny to come to the house anyway, Pa. Mama just said that she was going out of town and leaving Erlangga at home. What's the matter, Pa?" helen asked not knowing there was a sad story that Arina experienced that night.

" That night Danny came home and he again forced Arina to serve naf su bia dabnya. That's what caused Arina to leave our house." Krishna explains the reason Arina ran away from their place to his wife.

" Oh my goodness ..." Helen covered her mouth with her palm. He was shocked to hear the fact that his cousin's sister had treated Erlangga's nanny first.

" Sadly at that time no one of our ART told us that," regretted Krishna loved the silence of the workers in his house.

" ART we know?" Helen was surprised.

" Yes, they asked Arina to keep this from us."

" Oh yeah, Pa. If Sus Rina's son was dropped off at the orphanage, why is it that when we go there nobody tells us, huh?" ask Helen.

After Arina ran away from her home, Krisna did have time to contact the orphanage, however, the orphanage did not know about the whereabouts of Arina.

" That's because Arina's son was never taken there" said Krishna.

" What does Papa mean?" ask Helen then.

" The key is that only the midwife and her assistant midwife know where Arina's child is. The problem is, the midwife who helped Arina give birth moved out of the island and is not known to exist.as well as her assistant midwife, Arina does not know."

" Then, my cousin's son went missing out of nowhere, Pa?" Helen looks disappointed, even though she hopes to meet the descendants of her cousin's sister.

" Arina does not know where her son is!? But ...."

" But what, Pa?" Curious that Krishna had stopped her speech, Helen asked her husband to continue.

Kristine looked back at Helen for a long time. He seems to be thinking of telling Helen who Kayra really is.

" Pa, but what, Pa?" Helen urged Krishna to tell her a story quickly.

" There was something Erlangga had discovered about Arina's child, Ma."

" Don't you mean Papa?" Helen still did not understand what her husband said.

Finally Krisna told in detail about the suspicions of Erlangga who suspected that Kayra was the son of Arina. From the start of the house where they are now located, to Ms. Sari who said if the midwife where she worked first moved out of town. And also about the DNA test that will be done to prove the truth about Kayra's relationship with Arina.

" Good God, Pa ..." Helen suddenly burst into tears realizing her mistake during this time towards Kayra. " Mama's guilty of Kayra, Pa. Hicks ..." Helen immediately pulled her blanket down from the bed.

" Where are you going, Ma?" krisna asked her to see her wife getting out of bed.

" Mom should apologize to Kayra, Pa."

" Mama, Mama has promised not to tell this to anyone. Kayra doesn't know about this, Ma. And Erlangga did not want Kayra to know this matter at this time!"

" Why can't Kayra know, Pa?"

" Did Mama think it would be easy for Kayra to accept the harsh reality of her parents' past? Especially now that there was a fetus inside Kayra's stomach. Erlangga did not want Kayra to become depressed when she found out that she was not the biological child of Sari and her husband." Krishna explains why he forbade Helen from seeing Kayra.

" But Mama has to apologize to Kayra, Pa."

" To show that if you regret what you did to Kayra, you can now do it by treating Kayra well and lovingly. Didn't we want to raise Arina's child as our child from the beginning? All this time we were not given the opportunity to give that affection to Kayra. This is the right time for us to do it, Ma." Krishna rubbed his wife's shoulders, trying to calm Helen, who was plagued with guilt for her previous bad attitude towards Kayra.

***

Helen looked at Kayra who was eating food in front of her. He regretted not recognizing his own nephew and instead hated Kayra because he considered Kayra's social status was not worth it if he had to be the daughter-in-law of the Mahadika Gautama family.

" Kayra, you eat a lot of vegetables. The vitamins you gave me yesterday started eating, right?" helen asked so attentively to Kayra.

Everyone at the dinner table focused their eyes on Helen when they heard Helen say to Kayra in a soft-sounding sentence that was not as usual.

" Hmmm, already, Ma." replied Kayra who gasped to hear her mother-in-law asking in a very soft tone.

" Don't miss taking the vitamins. Later if you've eaten don't forget to eat fruit too, huh?" ask Helen back.

" Yes, Kayra will eat, Ma." answered Kayra clumsily with the attention of her mother-in-law.

" What do you want to eat again? Don't you want anything? No cravings what is it?"

" Hmmm, no, Ma. I don't want to be cravings for anything." Kayra who was confused by the drastic change in attitude from her Mama-in-law immediately turned to look at Erlangga who was similarly confused with her.

Erlangga who has not received information from his father was actually surprised to see the change in attitude of his mother towards Kayra. But, of course, Helen's attention to Kayra made Erlangga happy.

" If you want something, you just say it to Mama, yes!? Mama will buy it for you." Helen no longer thinks about her prestige after getting an explanation from Krishna about who Kayra is even though the results of DNA tests have not come out.

" Good day, sir."

Erlangga turned towards the entrance of his study room when he heard Bondan's voice greeting him.

Erlangga did want to immediately do a DNA test to ascertain whether it is true if Arina's missing daughter first is Kayra. Many events that make Erlangga direct allegations that Kayra is the sister of his cousin, son of Om Danny who is very irresponsible, even doing things that make Erlangga himself embarrassed when he found out.

Although a little worried about the attitude of the wife if you know the truth. However, Erlangga was relieved, at least his cousin's sister who should have since childhood get the affection of the family Mahadika Gautama, now already in the right place and get their affection Even, they are, not just as a sister, but as the wife of Erlangga.

" Come in, Mr Bondan!" Erlangga let Bondan into his room and told him to sit on the sofa.

Bondan walked in and sat down on the sofa appointed by Erlangga. Actually Bondan himself was a bit surprised when asked Erlangga to come to see him. Because all this time, his boss always gave orders over the phone, and rarely met face to face with him. So that makes Bondan suspect if what Erlangga wants to convey to him is something important.

" What did you call me to come here?" bondan asked after he sat on the expensive soft sofa in the office of the CEO of the company Mahadika Gautama.

Erlangga put two plastic pieces containing hair samples that he had labeled Kayra and Arina on the table.

" Please Mr. Bondan bring this to be tested for DNA" Erlangga said later.

Bondan grabbed two plastic samples of hair that Erlangga handed to him.

" Is it true that Lady Arina is Madam Kayra's mother, sir?" tanya Bondan looked at the two hair samples.

" A lot of evidence points there. But, I need definitive proof of this, so that I can determine the course of action that I must take. I have to think about my wife's psychological condition if there's any evidence they have a blood relationship. It will not be easy to accept the reality if he was born from a very painful past story," Erlangga said bitterly when saying the last sentence. He who is not in position as Kayra only feels heartache with his own Om treatment, especially Kayra, Fortunately the bad attitude that Danny has is not contagious to Kayra. His wife was loving and tender-hearted.

" I can understand, Sir. But would you tell Mrs Kayra this if the DNA proved they were Mother and Son?" ask Bondan.

" Kayra should know this. He has a right to know who his real parents are. But, maybe not anytime soon. I'm worried about her pregnancy, because what I want to say is not all happy news. All this time Kayra knew she was the biological child of Ibu Sari and Pak Ariyanto. She doesn't know if she's a child born out of wedlock, and she wants her mother in an orphanage for a while."

" I think Ms. Arina also needs to know if her daughter is alive and well cared for by her adoptive family. During this time he was looking for the whereabouts of his daughter, it was time he got happy news about his missing daughter first," Erlangga explained what he planned to Bondan.

" How are you going to meet Mrs Arina, while Grace's disguise is exposed, sir?" ask Bondan.

" I'll think about it again. The most important thing is to get the results of DNA testing first" said Erlangga.

" Alright, Sir. I'd better excuse myself, because I want to hand this sample over to the lab." Bondan said goodbye because he had to act quickly so that the Master would get certainty about the truth of the relationship between Kayra and Arina.

" If any documents are needed, contact me immediately. I am waiting for news as soon as possible from the results of the DNA test, Mr. Bondan," said Erlangga.

" Okay, Mister." Bondan got up from his seat. " I'll excuse you first." After saying goodbye, Bondan stepped out of Erlangga's study to go to a famous hospital. Where she will do DNA testing from hair samples taken from Kayra and Arina.
