"But ... Brother Ariel wants me here, Ma," said Elin languishing.
"You're wrong" said Maria. He pointed at Elin's stomach. "Ariel just wants your baby. She wants you to have a life of your own after giving birth. So, you better come with Mama."
"Where?" ask Elin.
"To another house" answered Mary. "You can give birth there and after you recover you can immediately go abroad with Mama. You can go to school again and work, after that. You can have a new beginning."
Elin shook her head slowly. He doesn't want to go. She wanted to give birth here, on Ariel's side.
"If you still think of Mama as your parent, you should go with Mama right now!" hardik Maria can't take it anymore.
Elin rubbed her cheek. "I don't want to split up with this baby, Ma. It's my son!"
"The baby .. isn't that just a deal? You ... you agreed to give the baby to Sinta and Ariel" Maria said as she sat down. He touched Elin's shoulders and shook her. "Listen to Mama!"
Elin. He endured his cries because his heart was so painful, but he knew he was guilty of his mother as well.
"When you were a baby, you were just abandoned by your parents and now. And your baby ... Ariel and Sinta will take care of her. It's not a problem, El," said Maria convincingly. "Your baby can grow into a child who will not lack anything."
Elin shook her head slowly. Her lips were still muttering the words that she was the baby's biological mother. She doesn't want to be separated from her baby.
"If you stay by Ariel's side? What are you going to do next? To be a mistress for your whole life? You don't think you're already the third person? You feel proud? Ha?" Maria shook her head. "That's not at all honorable! It's really despicable and if anyone knows Ariel doing polygamy, especially with you, her own foster sister, it will have an effect on Ariel's career and company.
"You're not just a bully in Ariel's household. But you will also damage the reputation of the company! You should have thought about that. If you really love Ariel and you respect Mama, then you should go!" Mary took Elin's shoulder off. He looked at his daughter who seemed to be thinking.
"Can I talk to Brother first?" elin asked doubtfully.
"Don't. Don't ever talk to Ariel again" Maria said solemnly. He stood up and spread his eyes. "You want to get ready yourself or you want Mama to take care of your things?"
Elin did not answer. He was busy crying and cupping his face with his palm. He did not want to pay his respects to Mary, he knew his mother's temperament well. If his mother had said A, it could not be changed.
"Sir Fendi, please prepare a safe rental house for me and my daughter." Elin heard Mary talking to someone. "Well, we're going there tonight. "There are many things that need to be prepared, later I ask for help to be arranged. My daughter almost gave birth, but she couldn't give birth in the hospital. I need a trustworthy person to handle this. Well, you just get that house ready. And please, pick me up in 1 hour at my son's house."
Mary sat back on Elin's bed. Elin's face was still puffy and red, but she was no longer crying. "You're ready, Mama wait. We're not going so far."
"Can I give birth in the company of my sister?" ask Elin.
Maria shook her head. "No. There's Mama, you take it easy."
Elin bit her lip. "If so, let me talk to you for the last time."
"No need, El. You just have to get out of Mama's son's life."
With a dagger, Elin began to put some of her clothes into the bag. Ariel's laptop and voice recorder also went in there, then his phone and some of his books too.
Elin did not know how long she was preparing, but soon the door of the room opened from the outside. He had thought it was Ariel, but what he saw was a middle-aged man. The man took his bag and spoke to Maria briefly and passed.
What did he expect? Elin thought to herself. He really hoped Ariel would come and say he did not want to see her taken by his mother. Too bad, until he went down the stairs, he did not see the figure of Ariel. Elin looked down, her tears falling back.
"Elin!"
Elin gasped as the steps of Ariel ran. He almost met Ariel if Mary had not stood in front of Elin's body.
"Sister," call Elin while squeezing her fingers.
"El .. sorry," said Ariel.
Elin shook her head. That's not what he wants to hear. He wanted Ariel to hold him. However, from the steps he could see Sinta smiling triumphantly. Apparently true, Ariel doesn't want her. Ariel wants her gone and Ariel just wants her baby. Elin's heart broke instantly.
"Mama let me know that your baby is born" Maria told Ariel. He looked at Elin who had no more hue on her face. "Come, El."
"Wait!" Ariel came closer. He looked down for a moment and raised his face with tears in his eyes. "I want to talk to Elin first, Ma."
"No need. Last night, Elin had to rest" said Maria, pulling Elin's arm.
"Ma, wait!" Ariel approached again. He took Elin's hand this time. "I hope .. You can forgive me. I ... I really love you."
"Nr ...." Elin was at a loss for words. Whether Ariel's words were true or not, it was just as painful to him. Elin looked at Ariel's face shrouded in cloudiness. "I'm gonna give birth to this baby and go."
"El .. if we are born again, I want to be with you" Ariel said. He sucked his nose hard because of howling. She really wanted to embrace Elin's body, but Mary pulled Elin's arm back.
"I love you!" ariel shouted in frustration.
Ariel followed to the terrace, but apparently some people were waiting. Ariel's body is held back by them in order not to approach Elin again. Ariel had to admit her mother's preparations were very mature. He did not dwell because the men were so strong and did not give him access to approach Elin.
"Elin! Wait!" shouted Ariel.
Ariel watched Elin get into the car and before long, the car passed quickly. His body jerked to the cold patio floor. The men left in their cars without a care for Ariel who was about to catch up.
"Mas! You can't believe it, "call Sinta. He pulled Ariel's arm when the man tried to get into the car. "This is best for us, Mom. This ... this is also the best for Elin."
"I hurt Elin!" exclaiming Ariel. He felt his painful chest.
"You still have me, Mas." Sinta hugged Ariel's body until the man cried there. He will let Ariel weep for Elin for today, but from tomorrow, he will rule over Ariel's heart and body again, Sinta thought to herself. "We can be happy, Mas. You, me and our baby. Counting the days."
