Billionaire Bride
CH-119 One more step towards my son

After the guests left, Astrid went to Hanna's room. The daughter was lying face down and hugging a pillow, she could not get out of her room because her father forbade her.

Hanna woke up from her sleep and sat on the bed, looking at her mother's face that looked flushed.

“Bu!” call Hanna.

Astrid was sitting beside the bed, her hands were stalling towards Hanna, her daughter was inching closer.

“Damian is home?” ask Hanna.

Miss Astrid nodded. Her hand stroked her daughter's hair gently.

“What did Damian say?” ask Hanna.

“He proposed to you dear,” replied Ms. Astrid. Hanna immediately smiled broadly.

“He proposed to me?” hanna asked again with a happy heart, she thought her father accepted her.

“I'm sure Damian is the man in charge, he won't break his promise, he actually proposed to me to dad,”.

“But your father rejected it,” said Ms. Astrid, causing Hanna's heart to break.

“Dad, dad rejected it?” hanna asked, looking at her mother, her eyes began to turn red.

“Dearly yes, your father refused, because you are about to remarry Cristian, it is impossible to cancel,” replied Ms. Astrid.

Hearing her, Hanna's face turned red, her eyes started to tear up again. He also looked down, a grain of tears fell on the white-clad pillow on his lap.

One drop, two drops, three drops, he finally cried. It was inconceivable how broken his heart was, he would lose Damian forever.

“I love Damian, Ma'am,” he said rather hoarsely on his side.

“Damian nice guy Mom, he really loves me,” said Hanna, now staring at his mother's face.

“Soalnya your marriage with Cristian has been set,” said his mother.

Hanna did not answer.

“You will marry Cristian, we are unlikely to cancel it, how does the Cristian family feel, they will be hurt a second time,” said Ms Astrid.

Hanna could not speak anymore, she immediately hugged her mother who hugged her back. Ms. Astrid felt sad that her daughter was crying in her arms. How could he possibly have said that he suspected Damian was Sony's son Bu, who was none other than his brother Cristian?

In her mind, Ms. Astrid, she had to meet her mother Cristian she wanted to tell her that her mother Damian was named Yulia, although many are names it but not all names are the same it has the same story as well.

*************

That morning after Mr. Louis left his house to go to work, Ms. Astridpun out of the house running his car at the speed of heading to his restaurant and his agreement with Ms. Sony.

After giving her employees breefing, Ms. Astrid went back to her study, where she heard a knock on the door. An employee entered his room.

“Bu, the guest has arrived, waiting in the hall Melati,” said the employee, standing at the door that was already open.

“Alright, I'll see him, thank you,” replied Ms. Astrid. He rushed to clean up the file on his desk and went out of the room to the hall Melati. One part of the outdoor dining area is quite spacious, surrounded by a small pond containing yellow fish.

Seen by Bu Sony was already in the hall jasmine, standing near the hall guardrail while looking at the fish in the pond.

“Good Morning, Miss Sony,” greet Ms. Astrid, who was called to turn her head immediately.

“For Bu Astrid,” replied Bu Sony, then approached and they hugged each other.

“Your call surprised me so I rushed here to see you,” said Miss Sony, Cristian's mother.

“Come sit down,” take Bu Astrid, along with a waiter who brought a drink for Ms. Sony.

 “There's something you want to say?” ask Mrs Sony. After sitting down, looking at Ms. Astrid's face, she looked very curious.

“Iya,” replied Bu Astrid.

“About our children's wedding, is there a problem?” ask Mrs Sony.

“Not, not that,” Bu Astrid shook her head.

“What's the problem?” sony asked, looking at him.

“What is your son named Damian?” ma'am Astrid asked, carefully and slowly saying.

“Damian? How do you know my son Damian's name? You know him?” asked Miss Sony, her hand immediately grabbed the hand of Ms. Astrid, grasping it tightly.

“Say, tell me, have you seen my son? Where?” ask Mrs Sony. His heart just immediately pounded not because of anxiety, anxiety, sadness, sipping on his chest, he missed his son very much.

“Actually I'm not sure if that's your son or not. She has a stepmother named Sofia,” said Ms. Astrid.

“Sofia?” Sony seemed silent.

“You don't know Mrs.Sofia?” ask Miss Astrid.

“I have a friend named sofia, but I didn't know she was Damian's stepmother,” replied Miss Sony.

“Mean I don't know if this is your son or not. Because this Damian also never met his mother again since childhood, his mother's name is Yulia, if not wrong it's sorry it's your name right?” ask Miss Astrid.

Ms. Sony did not reply, her eyes only turned red, she looked very nervous.

“Where can I meet that guy named Damian? Can you drive me?” sony Ma'am asked, looking at Ms. Astrid's face expectantly.

“May he be my son, let's take me there,” invite Miss Sony, impatient.

Madam Astrid could feel her hands being so cold holding onto her.

“Alright, let's go there,” take Miss Astrid. Miss Sony immediately hurriedly stood up, she could not wait to see the man named Damian, was Damian really her son?

Miss Astridpun wakes up, she goes back to her office first to get her bag, and they head for the parking lot to Damian's office.

Along the way, Miss Sony held tightness in her chest, her tears could not bearably trickle down on her cheeks, although she did not yet know whether Damian was her son or not, she wished it was her son.

His little heart said he was his son. Because he remembered the moment in the spilled market that found a wallet that had a photo of him when he was young, it was likely that the owner of the wallet was Damian, his son. So the owner of this wallet lives on this beach, and now he's going to meet her. Hopefully, hopefully that's Damian's son.

At Damian's house, Ms. Sofia was standing on the terrace of the house near the stairs with Satria, staring at the parking lot that looks crowded with employees who arrive and also guests.

“So mom will be home today?” ask Satria.

“Yes, but I want to take a walk to the beach that we passed yesterday,” replied Ny.Sofia.

“Why beach? What's up?” ask Satria.

“It's okay, just want to take a walk,” replied Ny.Sofia.

“Alright Mom, now I will use the office car with Damian's sister, mother can use her car Satria said.

“You're going?” ask Ms.Sofia.

“Iya, we will review the location with brother and other guests. The landowners have started selling their land again to big brother, only I do not know if this project will continue or not, because big brother must be very heartbroken,” Satria replied.

“Why not? The project you can do or other employees, your brother does not need to stay here,” said Ms.Sofia.

“Iya Ma'am, it's up to you to make a decision, but it seems very difficult ma'am. My brother has high hopes for this project. This is a project for sister-in-law,” said Staria. Her heart became sad to remember her brother's story. She could tell her brother loved her sister-in-law very much.

“I feel sorry for him Mom, I can't bear to see a broken brother, but yeah how else, brother-in-law already applied Cristian,” said Satria.

Ms.Sofia did not say anything more, she saw Damin out of her office with the guests, her stepson despite being hit by problems, but still looked diligent at work.

“I leave ya Bu, Brother is waiting,” said Satria. Ms.Sofia nodded.

His son went down the stairs to the parking lot and approached Damian. His stepson looked at him but did not see anything. Then he saw the people who had been busy in the yard one by one riding their vehicles and left the office yard.

Bu Astrid's car stopped in front of the office house. Opening the window looked at the office.

“This is Damian's office house,” said Ms. Astrid.

Sony's mom poked her head out of the window, staring at that quiet looking rutan.

“We can get there now?” tanyanya can't wait to meet Damian.

“Alright, we go there,” replied Ms. Astrid, she also runs her car into the parking lot of the rukan.

They got off the car parked next to Damian's car.

The guards approached them.

“Siang Ma'am, can anyone help?” ask security.

Astrid stared at the security guard.

“We want to meet with Mr Damian, can?” ask Miss Astrid.

“It just so happened that Mr. Damian was out Bu, in the office there were only a few employees,” Pak Satpam replied making the two mothers disappointed.

“When is it back?” ask Miss Astrid.

“Maybe afternoon, not necessarily also,” replied Mr. Satpam.

Sony's mom looked at Astrid.

“Maybe later in the afternoon I have to come here again,” said Miss Sony.

“Iya seems like so, we also cannot catch up with Damian,” replied Ms. Astrid.

“Alright then Sir, thank you. We will be back later in the afternoon,” said Bu Astrid on Pak Satpam.

“Sama-sama,” said Mr. security guard.

With lethargy, Miss Sony and Miss Astrid again stepped closer to their car. His mother Cristian just sighed panjag, he still can't meet Damain now, he must be patient waiting for the afternoon. But at least, he knew where he was going to look for his son, hopefully Damian is his son.

But his steps came to a halt when he heard the sound of the security guard speaking louder.

“Ny. Sophia! You're going out?” ask the security guard, when Ms.Sofia came down the stairs of her house.

“True Mr. Satpam, I need to go to the beach for a while,” replied Ny.Sofia.

Sony's mom stopped her hand movements that had opened the car door. His hands instantly felt trembling, he memorized the voice, he memorized the owner of the voice, a person he knew, very familiar, Sofia.

Slowly Miss Sony turned her body, her eyes were on someone who was going down the stairs of the house, her eyes were looking at her. Sofia who happened to look at him.Damian's stepmother immediately stopped her steps.
