This morning Helen accompanied her daughter-in-law to check the contents. After the DNA results came out stating that if Kayra was the true child of Arina and her cousin sister, Helen's attitude towards her daughter-in-law and nephew was increasingly showing her great concern.
Like today, he asked Erlangga to allow himself to accompany Kayra to check Kayra's content which will soon be even four months. Although he had to undergo the conditions given by Erlangga.
" But, Mama should not mention Kayra's status. Can Mama promise?"
That's what Erlangga asked him to do. A small thing, although sometimes like not to be able to not be conveyed. However, given the risks associated with the fetus in Kayra's stomach, Helen should be able to keep her mouth.
" Ma, thank you for accompanying me to check the content .." said Kayra, as she waited in line for her turn to be called.
" It's Mama's duty, because your husband's gonna have to work." Helen.
" Yes, Ma." answered Kayra.
" Mrs Isabella Soedrajat ..." The doors of the obstetrician's examination room open and the nurse calls the next patient after the examined patient in the doctor's room exit. After this it was only Kayra's turn to be called.
" When is it your turn, Kayra?" ask Helen.
" After this, Ma." said Kayra.
" Oh, soon .." said Helen.
" Jeng Helen? Is Jeng Helen here?" A woman's voice suddenly greeted Helen, causing Helen and Kayra to look at the woman.
" Eh, Jeng Sarah? Yes, I accompanied my son-in-law to check." Helen returned Sarah's greeting and pointed towards Kayra. " Jeng Sarah is here too?" Helen now glanced at a pregnant woman who was next to Sarah.
" Yes, Jeng. I accompanied my son to check the contents as well." Sarah answered Helen's question. " Eh, is this Jeng's daughter-in-law Helen? Jeng Helen's son is only one, right? Not that Jeng Helen's daughter-in-law is the famous model, huh?" Sarah watched Kayra with a look of wonder, making Kayra unkind to be noticed that way.
" That was, Jeng Sarah. My son is divorced from that model. Yeah, you know yourself, don't you, Jeng? That job as a model would definitely interfere with her time taking care of her husband. Because it's ...."
" Mr ..." Kayra gently patted Helen's arm, asking that her in-laws do not open up all the problems that happened with the Erlangga and Caroline household just yet.
" Oh, sorry, Jeng Sarah. My daughter-in-law doesn't want me to discuss what's been the past ..." Helen chuckled, laughing at herself.
" Oh so, Jeng's daughter-in-law Helen is pregnant? How many months?" ask Sarah later.
" Some time will be four months, Jeng Sarah." replied Helen.
" Jeng Helen is very dear to her daughter-in-law, to accompany her daughter-in-law to check the womb. My son-in-law is willing to take the time to accompany his daughter-in-law. Though my son is pregnant with his own grandson" complained Sarah.
" Of course I have to take my time, Jeng. This is the first grandchild of the Mahadika Gautama family, of course I have to care about my daughter-in-law .." said Helen proudly, because she was praised by her acquaintances. Helen immediately wrapped her hand on Kayra's shoulder as if she wanted to show Sarah if she really loved her daughter-in-law.
Kayra smiled at her mother-in-law's words. Not smiling because he mocked his mother-in-law, because even before his mother-in-law had opposed and did not care about him. However, she smiled because she was happy, because now her mother-in-law had opened her heart to her.
" Mrs Kayra Erlangga Mahadika ..." Now Kayra's name has been called by the nurse, indicating now it's Kayra's turn to check on the obstetrician.
" Ma, it's my turn ..." Kayra got up from her seat. " Would you come in?" tanyanya.
" Jeng, I accompanied my daughter-in-law first, huh!?" Helen said goodbye to Sarah because she wanted to accompany Kayra to the doctor's office.
" Oh, please, Jeng Helen."
Sarah invited Helen to say goodbye to her.

" Mrs ...."
Sari's mother gasped when she heard Erlangga suddenly say hello when she just came out of her room. She thought that her daughter-in-law had gone to the office after Kayra and Helen went to the obstetrician.
" Your son Erlangga? Is Erlangga not going to the office yet?" Sari's mother tried to stay calm even though her heart was pounding.
" There's something I want to talk to you about."
Erlangga's words this time made Mother Sari's heart even more chaotic.
" B-talk what, son?" This time Mother Sari's words sounded trembling.
" We're talking in my study, ma'am. Let's ..." Erlangga invited her mother-in-law to walk to her office.
" Please, Mom." Erlangga invited Mother Sari who looked hesitant to step into her work room to sit on the sofa.
" I-yes, son." Sari's mother sat with her hands squeezing the robe she was wearing to get rid of her nervousness. " What does Erlangga want to say?" Ibu Sari's heart beats faster because of the curiosity and fear that become one
" Mom, I didn't want you to misunderstand what I was trying to say. Believe me, no matter what happens, I still respect and love you."
Mother Sari's heart and mind were getting less and less because of hearing every sentence after sentence that came out of her daughter-in-law's mouth. He thought what Erlangga would say was related to Kayra and her foster daughter's past.
" Mommy heard from Mama about the nanny I used to be pregnant with from my Om's son, right, Mom?"
Mother Sari's face now looks stiff. His guess turned out to be true, what Erlangga wanted to say had something to do with his past.
" My nanny used to lose her child which she left to the midwife who helped her give birth. Coincidentally, I felt that there was an oddity that Kayra had felt these past few times. From this house, especially when Kayra met with Sus Rina while attending Mr. Ronald's wedding a few weeks ago.
Mother Sari's eyes have warmed up, even clear liquid has accumulated in her eyeballs ready to spill over her cheeks.
Erlangga got up from his chair to move to the sofa where Ms. Sari was sitting. Erlangga clasped Sari's hand. She knew it wasn't easy for Ms. Sari to admit the secret she had kept from people, including Kayra herself.
" Mom, I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous. Mom didn't tell me who Kayra really was. However, my heart told me that Kayra was closely related to this house and Sus Arina, so I did a DNA test on a sample of Kayra and Sus Arina's hair."
Tears could not continue to be dammed Mother Sari until finally spilled wet her cheeks hearing her daughter-in-law did a DNA test. And of course he won't be able to keep dodging anymore.
" A week ago the DNA test came out, and the results showed that Kayra was really Sus Rina's son, my cousin."
Mom Sari's crying broke when she heard about Kayra's DNA test. His fear has now come true. The secret he had kept for years was finally revealed already by his own son-in-law. He imagined, if until Erlangga told Kayra, and Kayra would hate and leave him. At that moment he felt that the whole world was about to collapse on him. He would feel that his life would be ruined right then and there.
Seeing her mother-in-law sobbing, Erlangga then grabbed the body of Mother Sari and let her mother-in-law sob in her chest. He rubbed Mother Sari's back to calm her in-laws down.
" I'm sorry, Son. Please don't imprison Mom. Hicks ..." Ibu Sari's fear will not only be shunned by her son, but also fear being imprisoned for hiding Kayra's identity and can also be said to kidnap the child from Arina.
" Why are you talking like that, Mom? There's no way I could have done that to Mom." Erlangga continued to rub the back of Mother Sari. " Mother remains my mother-in-law. Whatever the reason you hid Kayra's identity, Mom and Dad have given a lot of love to Kayra. Mom and Dad have formed Kayra into a very extraordinary woman." Erlangga did not want to pressure Ms. Sari, because it would make Ms. Sari feel very guilty.
" Mom and husband Mom wanted children, because for years of marriage, we didn't have children because that's why we took care of Kayra." Finally Ibu Sari wants to be a little open to Erlangga even with a stammering sentence. Ibu Sari honestly told how they finally did not give Kayra to Arina, even though they knew that Arina was the wife of Ariyanto's employer.
" I understand how Mom and Dad feel. Besides my wife, Kayra is also my cousin's sister. I am grateful and grateful to Mom and Dad, because Kayra has been nurtured by the right people, so Kayra does not lack affection." Erlangga was very grateful Kayra was taken care of by a married couple who loved his wife so much.
" Is Nak Erlangga going to say this to Kayra?" Ibu Sari asked with a sad face. He could imagine, if Kayra would be disappointed towards him.
" Kayra should know who she really is as well as her biological parents. Not anytime soon, Mom. I wouldn't take any chances, if it would affect Kayra's pregnancy." Erlangga said he would not tell Kayra at this time.
" Kayra will definitely hate Mom ..." Sari's mother again sobbed, imagining her foster daughter would stay away from her because of her actions.
" I'm sure it won't happen, ma'am. I know how the mother's son is, right? Kayra is a good woman, her heart is very sincere, she can definitely accept Mom's reason, just like I can also understand why I take care of Kayra. Moreover, Kayra loved Mom very much, there was no way Kayra would hate Mom." Erlangga tried to convince her mother-in-law if the bad thing imagined by her in-laws would not happen.
" Well, will Kayra's biological parents be told, son? Is he gonna take Kayra?"
" Yes, Mom. Sus Rina had been sad and felt guilty for leaving her child first. She deserves to know if her daughter is still alive and growing up to be a good woman because of nurturing by Mom and Dad. But, I will also tell Sus Arina not to invite Kayra's suspicion if Sus Rina meets Kayra later." Erlangga explained his plan to Ibu Sari.
" And will Sus Arina take Kayra? Of course not, Mom. Right now I am the one who has the most right to Kayra, because she is my wife. Kayra will stay here, with Mom too." Erlangga's words certainly make Mother Sari can breathe a sigh of relief.
" Now, I need to calm down. Don't think about this. I hope with Mom to tell me, the burden on Mom's heart is a little let go." Erlangga rubbed Mother Sari's arm.
" Yes, Son."
" Mommy also has to act normal, as if nothing happened to make Kayra unsuspecting. Because some time ago Kayra was very worried about Mom after Mom went out with Mama shopping." Erlangga explained how worried Kayra was about her mother.
" Yes, Son. Forgive me." said Ibu Sari to Erlangga. " Mom was really shocked then" he continued.
" Yes, I have to go to the office. I'm afraid Kayra and Mama are quick to return from the doctor. He would have been suspicious if Mom and I had talked here." Erlangga decided to end his conversation with his mother-in-law and immediately went to his office.
***
Ahead of the afternoon waiting for her husband to come home from the office, Kayra sat on her bedroom sofa while watching the show on television. While his hand pressed the remote button looking for an interesting show to watch.
" Imviewers, there is good news from our famous model, Caroline Wijayanti, who reportedly lined up as a sports car advertising model from Germany," said an infotainment show host.
The female presenter's words led Kayra to stop her hand, which was about to replace Chanel's television show infotainment of celebrity gossip, when the infotaiment host mentioned the name of Caroline, Erlangga's former first wife.
" It's true. Reportedly Caroline managed to beat some of the world's top models to get the ad. Very proud of dong, of course. Selected to be a famous sports car advertising model and will be aired in several European countries," continued another presenter.
" Well, what an amazing feat Caroline got, huh?" sahut the first presenter.
" Surely, dong. The pay must be huge too, right? We wonder what the story is like? Check out the interview of our colleague in Munich who managed to meet Caroline," said the second presenter.
" Imviewer, with me this time there is already a top model from Indonesia who is lucky to get a contract as a model for sports car advertising from Germany. Hi, Caroline. Congratulations on your success being selected as a sports car advertising model. Can you tell me a little bit how you feel right now?" The infotaiment reporter greeted Caroline who was standing next to him.
" Thank you .. I'm definitely happy with this. This is one of my dreams as well and hopefully this further paves the way for me to be able to compete and be aligned with other world top models. Although ... there must be a sacrifice to get this. At least what I've sacrificed has paid off with this success" Caroline said. Of course the sacrifice Caroline meant was a failure in her household.
Kayra stared at Caroline's beautiful face on the television screen. To be honest there was still guilt in Kayra's heart, as she had snatched Erlangga's heart from Caroline. However, he was also pleased with Caroline's success. At least, Caroline seems to have been able to move on and reorganize her life after the divorce. It can be seen from the success of Caroline to achieve that goal and from the aura of Caroline's happy face.
" Your achievements are amazing, you know! Not only proud for you personally, but also the name of the country. Must be a lot of support from the people closest to you, right?" ask the reporter.
" Of course, they are the people closest to me who have never stopped supporting my career. My family and my manager, Vishnu. He has always encouraged me to continue to survive in the modeling world that I am engaged in," said Caroline, did not hesitate to mention the name of Vishnu as the most meritorious person in her career as a model. In fact, Vishnu who was next to Caroline who was finally highlighted by the camera, is now seen wrapping his hand on Caroline's shoulder. It made the woman smile, especially Vishnu then gave a kiss on Caroline's right cheek.
Unknowingly, a smile on Kayra's lips looked at the romantic scene on the television screen she was looking at. She could feel that Caroline was really happy with what she was doing
" What are you looking at, anyway? How come to live it once, to smile to herself so that she does not realize her husband is coming." Erlangga's sudden voice made Kayra gasp.
" Here are you coming?"
" Nah, right? I didn't even know I was in this room." Erlangga pretended to sulk while blasting her lips.
" I saw the news about Caroline's mother, Mas." Kayra pointed at the television that had changed to reporting other celebrities.
" Caroline?" Erlangga frowned as she turned to the television screen.
" There was news about Caroline's mother, Mas. Turns out Caroline's mom got the ad she wanted, you know, Mas." Kayra told me excitedly.
" Oh yeah?" Flat response from Erlangga.
" Yes, Mas. I also saw, if Mother Caroline has now moved on and it looks like she has a special relationship with Mr. Vishnu. I just heard Mother Caroline mention that Mr. Vishnu is the most meritorious person in his career. Then, Mr. Vishnu kissed Mother Caroline's cheek, Mother Caroline did not refuse and smiled happily." Kayra told me back what she saw.
" Thank God if Caroline can rearrange her heart, maybe Vishnu is the most appropriate man for Caroline, not me" said Erlangga.
" Don't you feel jealous of them?" kayra asked suddenly.
" Why are you asking like that?" asked Erlangga.
" She loved Caroline's mother, didn't she?"
" With ya, Kayra. Caroline and I are over. I've closed it tightly. Right now you're my only wife I love! No other woman gets my love as a husband but you! So, don't ever ask me again about it!Origin of herbal medicine know, honey. Right now, my love is growing more and more towards you and there will be no other woman who can replace you in my heart now, later, and so on." Erlangga hugged his wife. Of course, after he knew the fact that Kayra was his cousin's sister, the love and affection of CEO Mahadika Gautama was multiplied to Kayra.
