From a distance of several meters, Rosa stood looking at what she saw, not far from where she was standing at this time. He had just returned from a labor supply. Just as he set foot in his courtyard, he saw a figure he had long tried to forget about. The figure of the man who made his life fall apart.
What's he doing there! rosa murmured in the heart.
"Rose...!" roseta exclaimed when she realized the arrival of her sister.
All eyes turned to look towards the courtyard where Rosa was standing.
To be honest Rosa is very reluctant to meet again with the man who had become her brother-in-law who is also the biological father of her daughter. He wanted to turn around and hide. However, his arrival was already known to all of them. He doesn't want to have to face it either.
While Edward stared bitterly at the woman who was his first love and the woman he had hurt. Guilt continued to haunt her because Rosa disappeared from her actions and never returned until nineteen years after her disappearance.
For years he searched for Rosa. He tracks down the destination of the train that took Rosa away. He hires the services of detectives to conduct searches in the destination cities that allow Rosa to live. Detectives traced the entire church in the destination city to find Rosa, but Rosalina's name was not on any church's congregation list.
Rosa then stepped her feet slowly towards the porch of the house where they were all waiting for an explanation from her. Only Rosa has the right to answer.
"Sins ...!" edward said softly as Rosa began to draw near to where they had gathered.
Rosa ignored Edward who had been looking at her with a sad look.
"Why is he here, brother?" asked Rosa with a look that did not like Rosita.
"Mama, this sir has helped Syifa" Syifa said, smiling behind her veil. She was so happy that her mother had arrived.
Mama! edward murmured, scrunched his forehead and heard Syifa calling Rosa to her mother. He realized one thing the girl he helped was eighteen years old.
"Rosa, is she your daughter? what's she-?" edward's words were cut off by Rosa's exclamation.
"Sister, please bring Syifa in, sister!" rosa shouted loudly.
"Syifa, come!" Rosita pulls Syifa's arm into the house.
Syifa was astonished by her mother's unusual attitude. He was even more confused by what made his mother suddenly act cold like that. And, again why should he not listen to their talk. A number of questions also came to Syifa's mind about her mother's relationship with the man who had just helped her earlier. Although his curiosity was quite large he finally complied with what his mother ordered.
Syifa went into the house with Rosita. Rosita took him to the living room.
"Tante has no right to answer Syifa, let your own mother explain to you" said Rosita. He doesn't want to talk wrong. Because he was aware that he was guilty of events in the past that happened to Rosalina.
"Is he my papa?" ask Syifa.
Rosita was flabbergasted at the question Syifa was asking. He was confused as to what to answer.

"Rosa, I'm glad to see you again ..," Edward said.
"However, I don't, Brother! I don't want to see you again!" rosa said with a straight forward look without looking at her interlocutor.
"I know I'm guilty of you, Ros. But really all my life I regret it! And I really want to apologize for what I did to you. But all these years I've been looking for you, I can't find you, Ros!" edward said with sorrow.
"Why look for me? to see how bad I was at the time? You are satisfied to have ruined my future and ruined my relationship with my brother? Nineteen years have I lived far apart without my family. Why do you have to show up in front of me now, huh?" Rosa vented all her years of pent-up anger on the man who had inflicted deep wounds on her.
"Rosa .., I'm guilty, but I don't mean to make your life miserable. It happened spontaneously when I was disappointed to feel lied to by those of you who switched places. Because, you should have been the one who married me then, not Rosita. I really love you, which is why I'm looking for you to take responsibility for the mistakes I've done to you!" hatch Edward.
Rosa fell silent, what she said was almost the same as what her mother said. Mama Sofia had indeed exchanged it with her brother, it was only natural that Edward was very angry at that time. Mama and her brother also contributed to it, not entirely wrong Edward.
However, Rosa had no power to vaporize her uneg-uneg who had only been stored in her mind when she saw Edward back. The shadow of the events of nineteen years ago seemed to roll back before his eyes. It made her feel the wounds she had once felt. Rosa could only cry.
"Ros, please tell me the truth, were you pregnant after that? Is Syifa my son?" edward asked to know. From the very beginning of seeing Syifa's face, he felt very familiar. And, when Syifa called mama to Rosa, her mind immediately shook. He was convinced that Syifa was his son.
"He's my son, I raised him alone. You have no right to take it from me!" rosa says.
"So she's really my daughter, Ros?" edward asked to be sure again.
"You're his biological father, but you're not entitled to him. Get out of our lives! Let Syifa live happily!" rosa said.
