Shanum felt his body was healthy, and after three days in the hospital, the doctor finally allowed Shanum to go home. There were no complaints from that woman. Everything seemed healthy, including Arsenio.
Arriving at the boarding house, everyone gathered in Shanum's room to see Arsen. Many of them praised Arsen's good looks.
"He's so handsome, you know! I think he's a lot like CEO Arthur Group, very similar!" exclaimed a woman, she stared fixedly at Arsen's sleeping face.
"CEO of Arthur Group? Whoa! Masa, anyway?" Others are interested in gossiping.
"really. I've seen Mr. Arthur several times, his face is very similar to Arsen's," she was so sure of his vision.
Hearing that, Shanum and Rima looked at each other. Their hearts guessed the same thing. However, do not dare to show any hesitation because there is still crowded.
"That's it, why gossip. How could Shanum's son be similar to that of a richest CEO. Watch out, carefully speak. Later, Arsen's biological father gets angry, you know!" rima said mediating, he warned everyone who was there.
"Sha, I've never seen your husband. Where's she headed? Do you know if your child was born?" said kos friend Shanum. Getting that answer, Shanum wavered. As usual, he could only smile to shake off the awkwardness.
"My husband is on a remote island, working there. He's been contracted for three years. Know for yourself, a remote island is hard to get a signal." Again and again Shanum had to go back to telling lies. He himself did not know, until when the lie was used as a shield so that his son was not considered contemptible.
"Your husband must have been very happy to see the good looks of his son!"
"Yes, that's it!" Shanum smiled again.
After the others came out of Shanum's room, Rima immediately found out who and what a CEO of Arthur Group's company was like.
Indeed, there are no clear photos of Arthur circulating on the internet. However, from the photos circulating, Rima can equalize how percent similarity. Is it really that similar to Arsen? Despite working at the same company, Rima never saw Arthur's face in person. He worked in the cleaning service.
"Shaa! Right they say, your son's face is very similar to that of CEO Arthur Group!" exclaimed Rima, giving his phone that still displays Arthur's face to Shanum.
Shanum was also curious. Without having to compare more details, they could already judge the resemblance. It's very similar. However, Shanum chose to ignore.
"It's not similar at all" Shanum said, returning Rima's phone to the owner.
"You're blind, huh? It's similar to this, but you say there's no resemblance?" Rima pointed at Arthur's photo from his phone screen.
"After all, it's impossible that the one who fucked me that night was CEO of Arthur Group, right? No way, Rim. Don't think too much. Never mind, I can take care of Arsen alone," Shanum said, not wanting to be too hopeful for anyone. Once let down by his own family, Shanum limits his own expectations. He realized, could only rely on himself.
'Five billion? If I recall five billion dollars and see the resemblance of Arsen and that man, I can be pretty sure that he is the real father of my son. But even if it is true, what should I do? Do I have to go to him and hold him accountable? It's too late, isn't it?'
Shanum drowned out all his feelings of sadness, shifting all his worries by looking at his son's so soothing face. Rima also decided, during this month he would accompany Shanum to sleep, not going to let Shanum feel exhausted alone.
While the two were talking, Mother Kos came while carrying a large box.
He sat right next to Shanum on the bed.
"Congratulations, yes, Shanum. Finally, your son can be born healthy and safe," said the boarding mother. "So, I also want to take you to the hospital, accompany you to give birth. But Rima would not allow it. She said, I'm old, I can't go anywhere else" she explained, then laughed.
"Whose Rima said it was true, Mom. I do have to rest a lot" Shanum chimed in.
"Yes, Mom. But, maybe all that Shanum can't do. How could Shanum have left Arsen alone" he replied.
"It's okay, there's Mom. Let me take care of your son, yeah. All this time I felt lonely," Mother asked, her gaze so deep. As if implying great hope for Shanum to immediately agree to his request.
"But, Mom, Shanum can't-"
"You don't see Mom's old. Mother's energy is still strong, you know." The hostess smiled again, a sincere smile that could calm Shanum down. Shanum refused not because he did not trust the middle-aged woman, he already considered her hostess like her own Mother. However, there was a sense of unease that continued to linger in him.
"Don't think about anything, Sha. You know, you feel bad, right? Just think about your son. She needs all the milk, diapers, new clothes, adequate education. If you continue to be caught in a bad mood, what about your son's fate?" said the hostess, opening Shanum's gaze.
"Sha, what I said is true. Your child needs everything. Just trust everything to our hostess." Rima also spoke.
"Alright, Mom. The plan is, later I will work in the same place as Rima. When it comes, I leave Arsen to you, yeah." Shanum finally gave up. He was very conscious, there was no point being stubborn. After all, everything Rima and her hostess said was true.
"My granddaughter," said the hostess, making Shanum smile because he was very happy.

Coinciding with the same day, Rara who was pregnant had also experienced contractions. Of course she was very happy, because her pregnancy had passed the proper birth estimate.
Rara was holding back the pain, Rio and his parents were accompanying him. Although there is a sense of dislike that is still inherent today, they cannot choose to be selfish, who was conceived and will soon be born by Rara is their biological grandchild. How could they be indifferent.
Rara stayed in the operating room for almost an hour. Rio did not want to enter to accompany. He said he was too scared to go in even though Rara had been whining repeatedly while enduring the pain.
Forced, Peni entered to accompany the son-in-law.
Oek ... Oek ... Oek.
The sound of baby crying echoed inside the room, hearing the sound of her son crying, Rio instantly barged inside to see her baby.
"Where's my son?" rio asked, she immediately approached a nurse who was still cleaning her child.
"What's my son's gender, Doc? Men, right?" asked Rio enthusiastically.
"Congratulations, sir, my daughter's father" said the nurse.
Rio sighed. He saw his son's face. Especially after knowing the sex of his child, his enthusiasm suddenly disappeared.
After Rara was transferred to the hospital room, Rio immediately approached his wife who had a frightened face.
"Rara, I've seen our son. Why does his face look so different from mine, or yours. Actually, who does he look like? Couldn't he look like your affair? Answer me, whose child is this?!" rio snapped without caring for the gazes of the few nurses who were still there.
