Louis was waiting his turn to meet Edric who was very busy in his office, but his clothes were still wet and his body was shivering because of the very cold AC.
Although he already knew the same answer would be given Edric but still did not discourage him to find out the circumstances of the woman he loved and his daughter.
Time passed, hunger pangs his mind, his stomach ached once but he still lingered on waiting for Edric to finish his meeting.
Louis heard footsteps approaching him, he was sure it was Enne's best friend.
"Your spirit is great as well" Edric said, he looked at Louis's state which clearly seemed miserable with his life.
Louis smiled at Edric.
"Thankfully you came to see me, how? Do you know where Enne and Valarie are?" tanyanya expectantly.
Edric sighed, as well as ordinary people, of course there was sadness and pity when he put himself in the position of Louis.
"Why are you looking for him now? You're too late Louis" said Edric, staring sadly at the skinny and pathetic man.
Louis frowned, he did not understand the meaning of Edric's words.
"Too late? Meanin?" louis' voice rose, he was anxious, hoping that hopefully not bad news would come out of Edric's mouth.
"Adrienne is getting married, next month! So please don't bother him, Enne's been suffering a lot because of you, I'm sorry Louis, that's all I can tell you" Edric looked sad to explain Adrienne's current situation.
He was in shock and did not know what to respond to Edric's answer, as if his mind was empty and his brain could not function properly.
Louis swallowed his bitter salivary, inevitably he had to accept the fact that Adrienne had the right to choose the man she liked.
Although suddenly the memories of their first encounter appeared and made his chest feel like it had been pierced by thousands of needles, it was obvious that he was enduring the pain of the fact Edric mentioned.
"Well, I won't bother them but please, just once, meet me with her, please Edric" she asked.
Edric could no longer stand in the way of Louis desperately hoping for his meeting with his best friend.
"Ok, I'll tell Enne, I'll call you, so now go home" replied Edric pity.
Finally, for the first time, Louis smiled, although he could not hope for more but at least he could imagine his meeting with Enne and her daughter.
"Thank you Edric, I'm really grateful to you, then I'm saying goodbye"
That's how Louis left Edric, his smile did not fade and he looked very happy.
Even after she reached her residence, her face was still cheerful, but it did not last long as she found her mother sitting in the living room with an angry face and looking at her sharply.
"Mom, why are you here?" ask carefully.
Louis' mother grinned, unable to bear the attitude of her son.
"Tck Tck, look at you now, you're so skinny, this is why if you divorced Eliza, and she's the perfect wife for you, why did you divorce her without telling mom first?" louis' mother exploded.
Louis' mother was fixated on her place, only this time her son dared to oppose her words, moreover he could not dodge because what his son said was reality.
"Mother, please don't expect me to refer to Eliza, I was just wrong to marry her because I'm amnesiac, the woman I really want to marry is someone else ma'am, she even gave birth to my daughter, how can I live after knowing that? He didn't ask me for anything even though I was impregnating him" Louis explained.
"What's? What other shit is this? Do you have a daughter from another woman? You mean, you cheated when you were a man's husband? What good of a shameless woman like her?-
"CLOSE MOM'S MOUTH! I told you, I was wrong to marry Eliza, the woman I want to marry is Adrienne ma'am, I wanted to marry her because I fucked her but I forgot my memory and thought Eliza was the woman I promised to marry, do you understand? I'm not cheating and don't dare you insult a woman as good as her, I wouldn't be willing" Louis explained, angrily explaining.
Louis' mother no longer knew what to answer, her heavy sighs rang out loud in her son's ears.
"So where is that woman now? Are you going to marry her?" tanyanya resigned, she would not force her son, no matter what Louis decided, she would support him.
"No! She's getting married next month, but I'll see her once again, at least I have to express my feelings before she has another man" Louis replied in despair.
Louis' mother shook her head.
"What did you say? Why are you so weak like this, Lou? I suggest, chase him until he can, before he belongs to another, after all his marriage is still long, there is no harm if you try" he suggested suddenly.
"But ma'am
"But what else? Do you want your son to call another man's father? Do you want that woman named Adrienne to belong to someone else? Are you really sincere with the others?" ask her mother not to accept it.
Come to think of it, having a granddaughter is not such a bad thing, which is what Louis' mother thinks now, that's why she wants her son to rise up and try to find a way for the woman her son loves to be with him, his grandson.
Louis shook his head.
"I want to be with them, but ma'am, I'd be a bad guy if I took Enne away from the guy who married her soon, I met her, he's a good guy, he's a good guy, I'm worried that I'm no better than her mom" she said anxiously.
Louis' mother breathed her again.
"So you're giving up?" the question is not thought out.
"Yes, just give up, I don't want to ruin their happiness" Louis replied.
"Well if that's what you want, but are you sure your daughter's happy? Lest he disliked the new man who would become his father" Louis' mother again, as much as possible, wanted her son to try to achieve his wishes.
Louis seemed to think hard, it was true there was no harm in trying but this time he was too late, he was afraid that chasing Adrienne and her daughter would only ruin the happiness that the woman he loved had.
"Already ma'am, I will not hope or try to pursue him again, which I want to only meet him once before he married the man of his choice and I'm sure, Adrienne is not going to marry a man her daughter doesn't like, I know how much she loves Valarie" Louis said.
"From your story, it looks like Adrienne is indeed a caring woman, so I have a granddaughter named Valarie huh? Hm, her name is so pretty, you idiot, why do you have to forget the memory anyway, I should now be able to play with my granddaughter and son-in-law, Tck" said his mother annoyed, she looked at her son's nano.
"Well, I may be very unlucky" he said.
"Really! You're so unlucky" his mother said.
"Yes you change clothes and eat, I bring you chicken soup and other food, go eat, you are very thin, the title of the most handsome in Indonesia seems to be lost if you continue to lose weight, quickly eat, eat, and, don't make me angry" she wants, she tries to calm her son down and also accepts the harsh reality that she can't be a very old grandmother.
"Yes ma, I'm going to eat" said Louis, he walked to his room to change his clothes.
