Blood And Tears MY HUSBAND
A Secret

Bu Yanti was always the head of Matahari Bunda orphanage increasingly restless and often sickly considering his favorite child he cared for from baby to adult like lost swallowed by the earth today. Since childhood life is in trouble with him and when adults fight hard for the survival of the orphanage and hope to get happiness after his foster daughter married but his fate is really poor.

He did not close his eyes and knew very well that the marriage of Ayu and Leo was far from harmonious like other common couples. They married because of a secret matchmaking that he had agreed with Ayu's father-in-law, the late Mark Abraham. The burden was piled on his heart when he regretted agreeing to marry Ayu to Leo.

"Come, where are you, son? There's a secret I want to tell you. Don't let me walk away from this world like your father-in-law left you with a big secret" said Bu Yanti shed tears as she leaned on her bed while holding a frame containing a picture of Ayu's marriage to Leo.

Then Bu Yanti put the picture frame of Ayu and Leo's wedding after that he walked to a small, worn wooden cabinet next to his closet. After the closet opened, he opened a drawer inside with an old key. A shabby black velvet box topped with a little dust he cleaned and then he sat in a chair not far from the closet.

Slowly he opened the velvet black box that was not too big and he let out a long sigh when he saw the thing inside. He took the item and closed his eyes to remember the incident almost twenty-five years ago. It was as if the memory had just happened yesterday because the memory still feels fresh even though the incident had happened for a long time.

A necklace with the initials "A" was in his hand. Tears of the woman who was aged twilight was dripping back when remembering the pieces of the past that became the secret of the foster child that he loved so much. He did this even really by being forced for the survival of all the residents of the orphanage at that time.

"I'm sorry Mr. Mark, if one day this secret must be revealed to Ayu and my father's family so that my heart is calmer if at any time God calls me" said Ms. Yanti.

In his heart he was determined to find Ayu at any cost because he was sure that one day Ayu could be happy with her true identity or if God willed then he certainly hoped Ayu could find a tomb both of his biological parents as he knew the info from the late Mark Abraham.

"I'm sure you're still my son's life and you haven't cheated on anyone like they've been accusing you of all this time" bu Yanti said in her heart when she was sad to remember Ayu's in-laws and husband accused Ayu of having an affair with Bram.

He knows Ayu and Bram. He was convinced that it was just a slander. Even now he has also found out that Leo is still Ayu's husband but remarried to another woman. It was more sadness he felt considering Ayu who was lost somehow, how the condition he did not know plus now the husband of his foster children has been with other women.

"Bu Yanti is inside?" asked Ana one of her orphanage children who was eighteen years old.

"Yes An, for a moment" said Bu Yanti rushed to reinsert Ayu's historic object and closed it tightly again and wiped her tears.

The door was open.

"What's the matter An?" ask Bu Yanti.

"That's Mom, there's a guy who when the day can come here ask about Ayu's sister but I don't take a step. What needs Ana to throw away Mom, it looks like the person is very suspicious to go back and forth here continue" said Ana with a worried tone.

"Let's just meet him, who knows there is news about where Ayu is or his condition" said Bu Yanti.

"But Ma'am, Ana is worried that there's nothing afraid of her being a fraud or a person who hates the same Kak Ayu just disguised himself and pretended to be good in front of us. Ana often sees him monitoring this home from a distance as if seeing our movements" Ana said in an anxious tone.

"Bismillah" said Bu Yanti as she prayed in her heart.

Bu Yanti rushed to the living room to meet the guest.
