"Bak asked you to meet outside, because I didn't want you to hear what we were talking about."
"What decision? Ma'am wants you to show me your service, by helping me."
Mikaela looked down and played the plastic straw inside her drinking glass.
"Alright, madam. I'll fulfill Ma'am's request."
"Good El, it is not in vain that father and mother take care of and love you," said Annisa.
"May my sacrifice not be in vain and make Nisa happy." - Mikaela.
"God sent you by staying with us, to help me. It was God's plan, I found it hard to conceive, because my womb was weak."
Mikaela was silent, not responding to Annisa's words. Annisa was silent for a few seconds, and then continued what she wanted to say to Mikaela.
"Because you've agreed, there's something I want to talk to you about" Annisa said.
Mikaela waited, what would Annisa say again. Here, she is only as a maid role in Annisa's life. She cannot resist, as Annisa always brings up the role of her father and mother who have taken care of her, until she grows up. And the word Annisa always uttered that made Mikaela like a buffalo on her nose, in order to follow the will of the owner of the skanario.
"Your marriage to Mas Damar is known only to us-we do not know. Neither should your two friends know."
Mikaela raised her head and looked at Annisa.
"They already know, mbak."
"What !? you told them? Aira knows, Toni must know... ! why did you tell them El... ? Toni... She must have loved to see me suffer" Annisa said.
"Why did you tell those two friends ? Can't you keep a secret ? Oh... Lord!" Annisa is upset at Mikaela who she considers bodo, because she has shared the story with her two friends.
"Because I need a friend to share, Ma'am."
"It is not necessary for all friends to know our problems, El... ! Now they, especially Aira and Toni, will surely laugh at my life which is far from perfect."
"Toni must be happy, because I left him, because he couldn't give me the happiness I wanted" Annisa said.
"You will marry Mas Damar, but you must not serve Mas Damar in the bed of El ! The task of giving an inner living to Mas Damar is my duty, my real wife. While you are just a wife on paper who is in charge of giving birth to our child. And it's done by medical means, the doctor's gonna do it."
"Good, I also do not want to serve your husband, mbak." - Mikaela.
"Say something, El. Why are you quiet?" asked Annisa who had not heard a rebuttal from Mikaela's mouth.
"What should I say, Mother? It's all planned out, I'm just a doll" Mikaela said, but the word I'm just a doll can only be said in my heart.
"Do you mind what I say?"
"No Ma'am, I'll just follow the plot that mbak make." again Mikaela resigned to the storyline of the lives of the three of them later. Mikaela felt, she was just a puppet and Annisa was the mastermind of her life since she was present in the Uncle's family.
"This marriage no one should know, and you'll be staying at Ma'am's house later. At Ma'am's house there's a pavilion for the workers, you live there. Ma'am does not want people to be surprised by your presence at the house Mbak later, therefore you live in the back house. Remember, no one should know, including the workers at Ma'am's house."
"If they ask, what should I say, ma'am?"
Annisa thought about what Mikaela was asking.
"Let's just say, you can't stay home by yourself. Later mbak said, mother went to visit family outside the city. Therefore, you live in the back house."
"Good, mbak."
"After the wedding, we'll meet with the doctor to start doing the program. As soon as you're pregnant with us, you'll be free of this deal. Remember El ! Don't let you fall in love with my husband ."

"Sir Reza, what brother Damar ?" alisa Salim asked, who felt that she had met twice, Damar was not present and was only represented by the assistant. Reza.
"Mr Damar is busy miss, because all the business is done, therefore Mr. Damar sent me and Mr. Sanusi who handle all the affairs of the project."
"Then this is how I can tease Damar. Ah... Messy ! Alin would be mad at me. Ah... Masa bodo... I don't want to do this either, God will wrath me ."
"This is miss." Reza handed over the project master plan that Alisa had to check.
"So, Brother Reza, I don't need to check again. I believe in what you do. Here, let me sign it."
Arini gives Alisa a pen to sign the files that need to be signed.
"If you need anything else, I'll just have my secretary meet with Reza's sister."
"None right."
"Are you not helping Alin anymore, Lisa?" asked Arini who was sitting behind the wheel, while Alisa sitting beside him leaned her head and closed her eyes.
Alisa opened her eyes and straightened her body.
"I'm tired ! Aren't you tired ?" ask Alisa.
"Sama, I'm afraid karma is following me. Because it's destroyed people's households" Arini said.
"What if Alin gets angry? And leverage his help on us" Arini said.
"Rin, how do we meet brother Aldo and tell him all this" said Alisa.
"What if Alin gets angry, because we've complained to Aldo's brother" Arini said.
"We go home to Rin, I'm lazy to go back to the office." Alisa said.

"Is your decision not by force, Dam ?" aryan asked, after Damar agreed to his father's request to marry again, so they could bring momongan.
Damar looked at Annisa, and saw Annisa nodding her head.
"yes, pa ," said Damar.
"Yes ... ! you're forced?" ask Amelia.
"No, ma ! I don't have to."
"What's the matter, Dam ? he said he had to. Now it is not necessary" said Aryan.
"Sorry, Pa," said Damar.
"So, there's no compulsion, right ?" ask Aryan again.
"No, Pa," said Annisa.
"Remember Dam, the wife you married, don't waste it. Don't just use her to get kids" Amelia said.
"Papa will be angry, if you hear that you are not being fair. Moreover, that woman is still your wife's brother, Dam. Don't let this matter disturb the kinship."
"After marriage, Mama will bring Mikaela to live here" said Amelia.
"What !?" Annisa and Damar are shocked. Especially Annisa, because she planned to place Mikaela in the pavilion behind her house.
"How to take El to the hospital, if El stays at Mama's house." Annisa's inner monologue.
"Can't."
"Ma, we've been peeping. El will be staying with us" Annisa said.
"Are you sure you want to live together? Aren't you jealous of seeing Damar sleeping in his young wife's room?"
"No, ma. It's a risk I have to accept to have a child" Annisa said.
"Good," said Amelia.
"Then, the wedding will be Sunday" Aryan said.
"Sunday!" shocked Damar.
"Yes, Sunday. Wh why? Is there a job?" ask Aryan.
"No Pa," said Damar.
"Good, all affairs will be settled by the lawyer. This.... " Aryan gave the envelope that was on the table beside her and gave it to Annisa.
"Sign that permit."
"Izin what pa?" ask Annisa.
"Izin wife to give husband remarried, " said Aryan.
"Izin, isn't it just a series wedding ?" ask Damar.
"If siri, your son will be difficult to get birth documents. You have to get married officially."
Finally, with a heavy heart, Annisa signed the license.

Marriage happens simply, only attended by the nuclear family. Mikaela's side was attended by Mother Aini, while Lenia and her husband were not told by Mother Aini, because of the wishes of Annisa and Mikaela.
"Dam, take Mikaela to the hotel. I've booked a room for you to stay in for a week" said Amelia.
"Hotel?" inner Annisa.
"Why go to the hotel, ma ? We just go home" Damar said.
"Dam, you're newly married. There's no way your wife you're taking home, sorry Nisa saw you the first night at home." whispered Amelia.
Damar followed the will of his mother.
Before leaving, Annisa mustered Damar not to touch Mikaela.
"Remember, mas ! Don't touch El."
"Yes" said Damar.
"El, if it's not strong anymore. Go, mother is not angry."
Mikaela told Mother Aini. "Do'an El, mother."
"Mother's prayers are always with you, tell your mother if they hurt you. Let's go."
Mikaela nodded.
