"Again I ask you why did you marry me lord Fernando satria hutama honourable?"
"hmmm.you have memorized my full name in just a few hours since I became my legal wife doctor Sofia aulia rahman. Is this also a sign that you've become my new fan? if so, then I suggest that you immediately prepare the paper and the ballpoint pen because my signature is very difficult to get."
"You're overconfident."
"You want to know too much too."
"just because it's my life."
"You'll know when we meet Helena my daughter."
"well, I'm quiet." Sofia said later. He was lazy to argue. All his energy was exhausted to think about his fate after reaching Jakarta. Arguing with Fernando would only give him a headache.
"that's better." replied Nando indifferently.
They were both silent in their thoughts until an hour and a half later their plane arrived at the airport. Nando immediately grabbed a tissue and cleaned his hand and stood up first to get out of the plane. Sofia is stepping lazily behind her. Lost is his dream of living a happy life, even though he had intended to open his heart and accept his destiny even though he knew, Nando had never been sincere to himself or his parents. But he knew enough what a wife's obligations were, because however Nando had married her legally in both religion and state law.
Alex nodded respectfully at the two as he arrived in front of them. The man deftly grabbed the two small suitcases and then followed his employer to a car that had been parked neatly waiting for them earlier.
"Take us to Elle's place." Nando ordered when Alex got in the car.
"well young master" he answered obediently and then drove his vehicle splitting the density and congestion of Jakarta.
At the same time on the plane, the newlyweds also had no intention of making a sound to each other. Their eyes were focused on the road that was increasingly taking them in the opposite direction to Fernando's residence.
The car entered a high-fenced mansion surrounded by colorful flower plants. The house is twice the size of Fernando's residence which looks quiet from the outside. A servant ran into the house to convey Fernando's arrival to the owner of the house.
"let's go in." take Nando firmly resembling an order.Soft hesitated,Sofia followed the steps of the young master who first entered the house with wide steps. There,a beautiful oriental-faced woman walked quickly down the stairs and then without further ado hugged Fernando.Sofia's body did not budge to see her forced husband kiss the woman's forehead soft.There was torn in the corner of Sofia's heart when the woman it was spoiled in her husband's arms without the slightest protest from him.
"How are you doing ge?" his tan was spoiled without letting go of his embrace from Fernando's burly arms.
"As you can see."
"she.." without continuing the question the woman turned to Sofia who was still standing in front of Alex's secretary. Fernando followed the direction of those eyes.
"She's Sofia, my wife." she replied briefly. The woman came to Sofia and stretched out her hand.
"Hi sister, I'm Arabella.Call me Bella." she said kindly. Sofia welcomed the hand and introduced herself while commenting on the friendly smile.
"where's Elle?"
"He played with Ling-ling. Let me call ge." without waiting for an answer , Bella returned upstairs in a bit of a hurry.But how long later, she returned down the stairs while holding a beautiful girl in a pink dress with cute accessories in her hair. The laughter of the two resounded in the large room.
"Papa." cried the little girl.Fernando hurried to pick her up from Ele's sling and hugged her tightly.
"How are you doing papa's angel?"
"Good elle pa.Papa came with whom?aunty said papa....."
Nando gestured for Sofia to come closer.
" Hello dear who....."
"mamaaaaaa.....!!!" the little girl shouted and then revolted from the embrace of her father. Sofia feels very surprised when she sees Elle heading in another direction.Ahh...Blind elle.
"Honey, it's mama there" said Nando quietly while directing Elle at Sofia who was still struck by shock. Her consciousness had only recovered when the little girl hugged her legs tightly. Sofia. Her motherly soul moved. Immediately he crouched down and hugged the little girl tightly.
"Mama where have you been?why did I leave Elle at Aunty's house so long? is it because Elle is blind now? are you ashamed to have a child like Ellle? don't you love Elle anymore?" ask Elle stammering. Her crying broke instantly. Sofia who was washed away in the sadness of the little girl continued to hug her while shedding tears. At first glance he glanced at Fernando who was staring at the interaction of the two seriously.
"Don't talk so dear, dear mama, mama loves you so much."
"then why don't you ever call Elle?" at once Sofia suddenly did not know what to answer, while she herself did not know who Elle's birth mother was.
Fernando hugged his daughter's shoulder.
" Elle, I told you that you're in therapy at the hospital. So my mom can't go anywhere. Doctors also banned my mother from carrying a cell phone. The important thing is that now you've reunited with us and will bring Elle home."
"really?"
"yes." everyone answered in unison Elle smiled happily.
"now we're going to Elle's room.Papa help Elle get ready."
"but mama..."
"Let me have a conversation with Aunt Bella. Mama can't be too tired, too, baby. Papa's with Elle." Nando was patient. She beckoned Bella before holding Elle up to her room.
"Sister, can you come with me for a second?" ask Bella to Sofia who is still glued to her place.
"certain."
Bella takes him to the front garden and then to the cool gasebo there.
"Fernando is my brother.You must be wondering why our faces don't look alike?That's because I'm actually his cousin. His uncle's son. Back then, when both my parents died in a plane crash, Papa Teguh came to pick me up and took me to this house. Me, brother Nando and brother Karin grew up together without distinction. They also consider me their youngest daughter." Bella recalls chuckling softly.His black hair fluttered in the wind.
"This is the home of the Hutama family. My mom and dad rarely come home because they are busy in England. Me and my husband who occupied it because Nando's brother chose to live independently with Emma's sister after marriage." Sofia still faithfully listens to every word that slides from Bella's lips. Accept it without wanting a word to be missed from there.
"They lived happily before the deadly accident took Emma's life and left Elle blind a few months ago. Sis Nando who was hit was forced to leave Elle to me so that he did not know if his mother was dead...Ahh my God..Is this a coincidence?your voice is very much like Emma's sister. I was surprised myself. Nsndo's brother is going to marry Delia as his pretender wife and tell Elle he just had vocal cord surgery because of the accident."
"And sis..Can I give you a request?"
"say."
"Please pretend to be Emma's sister, at least until Elle gets a matching eye donor.The love of Elle kak.She is still too small to feel the meaning of loss. Looking at Elle now feels like I've been mirroring myself in the past."
