Mr. Jodi hung up the phone and returned to the meeting room that had been filled with invitations.
“Pak Jodi!“call a man. Mr. Jodi immediately approached the man.
“What's the Great Sir?” asked Mr. Jodi, while looking at the man who was with Mr. Supreme and a woman.
“Pak Jodi! Introduce this Mr. Henry, his son Mr. Damian, happened to be Mr. Damian was out of town so was not present,” said the man.
“Halo Mr Henry! You're Mr Damian's son? You look so dashing like your father! My son is no different from your age!” said Mr. Jodi.
“Halo!” henry replied, taking his hand, Mr. Jodi.
“And who is this? Your wife? You were married at the time, right? Sorry I could not attend that time I suddenly had to go abroad,” asked Mr. Jodi, turning to the woman beside him Henry.
“Not,” replied Henry.
Henry will talk again but the woman next to him precedes him.
“I am Andrea, Henry is divorced with his wife, I am his new wife,” replied Andrea, smiling at Mr. Jodi.
Mr. Jodi looked surprised and then he was bearded, he did not expect Henry divorced that fast and already had a candidate that fast as well.
“Your future wife is very beautiful, Mr. Henry,” she said with a smile.
Henry glared at Andrea, he didn't like Andrea's reply but the girl didn't care about her protest, so Henry didn't say much. He also couldn't possibly fight with Andrea in such a public place.
How could she remarry, her divorce from Shezie was only a month later when she married again?
“Please sit down, the show will start soon, maybe a little slurred because other participants there who have not come stuck in traffic,” said Mr. Agung.
They also went to the chairs that had been provided.
Meanwhile Shezie is in his office being given a gift from Henry. He sat down leaning back while rubbing his stomach. She wanted to tell Henry that she was pregnant. But he was confused how? If Henry knows for sure he's not going to let go, and that means he's going to be Henry's wife again, what about his mother? Will she be able to have her mother relate to the man who left her?
What about Hanna's mother-in-law? Who would always feel jealous with the presence of his mother in the middle of their family, even though his mother-in-law had proposed to him again must have been very heavy. All this really confused him.
His phone rang, he saw it was Martin's number. Though lazy, Shezie picked it up as well.
“Halo baby, are you busy?” ask Martin kindly.
“What did you call me? I'm busy,” Shezie replied.
“Yes I know, I'm sorry for my attitude yesterday,” Martin said.
Shezie.
“There's something I want to talk about,” Martin said.
“What's the problem?” ask Shezie.
“Of course about our wedding,” Martin replied.
“I've made up my mind, I can't continue our marriage, I don't want to abort my womb,” Shezie said.
“You are too quick to make a decision, in a hurry. I want to take you to dinner, let's talk about this again. Please don't be angry, our marriage is a few days away,” Martin said.
Shezie went back to being quiet and thought.
“We'll talk about tonight. Hows it? Tida delicious by phone,” said Martin.
“Alright,” Shezie said, he remembered he had to ask why Martin lied about the hospital fee.
“Good then. But I can't pick you up, I'm meeting at the Berlin Hotel. You come at 8, meet me there,” Martin said.
“What? Berlin hotel at 8? It's too late for dinner,” Shezie said.
“Honey, understand, I'm busy with my work but have to prepare for our wedding in a moment, we have to quickly decide about this wedding. Please understand me, I've spent a lot for our wedding,” said Martin.
Shezie was silent again, at that time Martin tried to do indecent by taking him to the hotel. Is it going to happen again now? But he did have to talk to Martin. She had to cancel her wedding plans with Martin.
“You why? You mind? Believe me I will not do a no-no, let alone our marriage is only a few days away, I was just meeting,” said Martin trying to convince Shezie.
“Alright,” said Shezie finally, he did have to meet with Martin inevitably.
Martin smiled triumphantly. The plan must not fail, he has sold Shezie to Mr. Jodi at a high price. Shezie has to pay for everything he's done to her, especially if until Shezie gets back to Henry, no, he won't let that happen.
The day felt so fast running, when Shezie saw the clock on the wall turned out to be 6 pm. He rushed to go home. He remembered he had an appointment with Martin at 8. The man asked her to come to the Berlin Hotel. Sheziepun is getting ready to go home.
When she got home, Ms. Vina already greeted her at the door with a smile.
“It looks like mom looks really healthy,” Shezie said.
“Iya, mom feels mom's body is very fit today,” said Bu Vina.
“Alright Mom, I want to take a shower first, I have an appointment with Martin at 8.” Shezie said, while entering the house while Bu Vina closed the door.
“You have an appointment with Martin?” ask Miss Vina.
“Yes, he took me to dinner,” Shezie replied, as he continued to walk into the house to his room.
“You better with Martin?” ask Miss Vina.
“No, there is only one we need to decide,” Shezie replied.
“There's something I want to say,” said Bu Vina.
“Mother..I've already cancelled your marriage to Martin,” said Bu Vina to the surprise of Shezie.
“What mother mean?” ask Shezie.
“Mother has come to see Martin's mother and cancelled your marriage to Martin,” replied Bu Vina.
“Bu..but Bu...” said Shezie, confused what to say.
Vina's mom grabbed Shezie's hand.
“Mommy doesn't want you aborting your womb. You want to go back to Henry or not, you can't abort your womb,” said Ms. Vina.
Shezie in front of his mother.
“Mother seriously?” ask Shezie.
“Iya,” replied Bu Vina.
“Mother.I'm glad you let me continue my pregnancy. But I promise I won't go back to Henry, I'll take care of my own baby,” Shezie said.
Bu Vina was surprised to hear that, she did not expect Shezie to make that decision.
“You want to raise your own baby?” ask Miss Vina.
“Iya Ma'am, I've allowed me to continue my pregnancy only I'm very happy. I'll focus on taking care of my baby. I can't possibly let you get hurt by messing with the man who hurt you. I realized my marriage to Henry would make a mess in our family and Henry's family, so I'd focus on taking care of my own baby.” Shezie replied.
Bu Vina was silent, no words could be spoken from her lips. Shezie is willing to suffer for his happiness. His ego closed his eyes to see how much his daughter loved him.
Shezie wakes up from his squat, leaving his mother to go into his room but Bu Vina calls out to him.
“Honey!” call Bu Vina, make Shezie turn her body back to look at her mother.
Ms. Vina moved her wheelchair closer to Shezie. He looked into his daughter's eyes.
“Do you want to go back to Henry?” ask Miss Vina.
“No Ma'am, I have decided to raise my own baby,” Shezie replied.
“Don't love, if you want to go back to Henry, I let you, come back,” said his mother, making Shezie surprised.
“No Ma'am, it's impossible, I can't possibly let mom suffer with my marriage, I love mom,” Shezie said, shaking her head.
Hearing her daughter's words, Ms. Vina felt a great sense of guilt. For the sake of her happiness her daughter sacrificed her own happiness, why has she been so selfish all this time? Even Shezie is willing to raise his own child without a husband accompanying him.
Ms. Vina again grabbed Shezie's hand.
“Honey, Mom apologizes, Mom is really sorry,” said Bu Vina, staring at her daughter with tears.
“Already Mom, no need to apologize, I am willing to do everything, I want Mom to be happy,” Shezie said.
Ms. Vina looked down and the tears fell on her lap. How selfish of him to his daughter who loved him so much.
“Mother is sorry,” said Bu Vina again, looking back at Shezie.
“Mother... Mother lets you go back to Henry,” lanujt Bu Vina in a hoarse voice.
“Mother, what did you say? You really want me back to Henry?” shezie asked, not believing. He was back in his arms staring at his mother's face.
“Iya,” replied Bu Vina, nodding.
“But Ma'am,” Shezie looks confused.
“ Raising a child alone is very difficult. I feel the weight of living alone raising you, I don't want you to experience like Mom. Living alone in loneliness, I don't want you to experience it,” said his mother.
“But Bu...”
“Mother has already annulled your marriage to Martin, you can go back to Henry. Meet with your husband and baby,” said Bu Vina, now the tears are dripping on her cheeks.
“What is mom serious? I don't want to hurt Mom,”ujar Shezie.
“Yes dear, I know you love Mom very much, I'm just too selfish not to think about your feelings, I'm selfish just thinking about mom's own happiness, I'm sorry,” said Ms. Vina, his hand touched Shezie's face. He saw his daughter's eyes had been reddened to hold back the crying.
Shezie stared back at his mother. From her eyelids the tears were spilled. He knew it was the toughest decision his mother had made for him.
“Bu, I love Mom,” she said while hugging her Mom tightly. The tears were touching her cheeks.
After a long time of crying, Shezie let go of her embrace.
“Now I have to see Martin, I have to finish everything Mom,” Shezie said.
Bu Vina nodded.
“Go!” said it.
Sheziepun woke up from his squat.
“Mommy wants a break? I drove to the room,” he said, which his mother embraced. Sheziepun pushed the wheelchair into his mother's room.
After making sure her mother rested, Shezie returned to her room to get ready to go to the Berlin Hotel.
