The woman was still standing in the doorway with a suspicious look on Alexander and Ivona.
"Mom, when did you come?" ask Alexander.
Ivona turned to the man, then turned to look at the woman whom Alexander had called Mother. His brain quickly remembered this woman's face. Unmistakably, this woman was the woman he had met when Alexander first brought her home to the luxurious mansion.
"You can explain everything, Alex?"
"Mom, it's not what you think. I____"
"What's the connection between you and this girl?" cut the woman fast.
"We are only ______" Ah ... Alexander was confused as to what to answer. He has not named the relationship between himself and Ivona.
Seeing Alexander having trouble answering, Ivona took the initiative to help. "I'm sorry if it has made you think wrong, actually me and Mr. Al____"
"I'm not talking to you!" jolt the woman.
Ivona was silent. Apparently, his intention to help Alexander answer was a mistake. The look on this woman's eyes had not changed from the first time Ivona saw her, it was still just as cold.
"Mom!" aveng Alexander jerks his mother. "You don't have to interfere in what I have to do with Ivona, because I'm not a kid anymore who has to report to you about every single thing I do."
The woman stared angrily at Alexander with Ivona. Highlights do not like to be clearly drawn on his face.
"Come, Iv!" Alexander immediately pulled Ivona to leave, fortunately Ivona could quickly snatch a bag containing his laptop.
Alexander passed his mother for granted, while Ivona could only bow her head as a sign of apology for feeling disrespectful for ignoring the parents. "Sorry" said Ivona as she passed by Alexander's mother.
The woman kept staring at Ivona. The same thing repeated. Alexander ignored her for the sake of this girl. He was in disbelief when Mina— his loyal servant— reported to him about the big news, if Alexander had brought a girl to live in his Villa. Though all this time, his eldest son always refused to be betrothed, he even sent dozens of women to attract Alexander, but all failed. Of those dozens of women, not a single one had managed to lure his son.
From the Smith family party, Mrs Alberic grew curious about the woman he was close to. Because there, for the first time Alexander looks happy with a girl. What broke her prejudices about her son's s*sexual orientation.
Alexander kept taking Ivona out. "Come in" said Alexander.
The clueless Ivona looked at Alexander with a frown.
"Let the driver who drives you, it's getting darker, it'll be safer if you're ushered to your family's house" Alexander said.
"What about your mother?"
"That'll be my business, go and get your business done!" Alexander pushes Ivona's body into the car.
"Hurry way!" tell the driver.
Ivona opened her window, then looked at Alexander with a difficult feeling to translate. "I will definitely be back" Ivona said spontaneously, waving her hand at Alexander.
The man smiled at Ivona's departure and returned the wave of the girl's hand.
In the car, Ivona pulled out her phone. The big news about Vaya has spread all over Victoria. He also saw the comments of netizens who felt disappointed with Vaya.
[It turns out Vaya was a child raised by mistake.]
[I didn't think Vaya was a pickle boy.]
[Children take a lot of behavior!]
[All this time it turns out we idolized poisonous snakes. Already cared for and raised, it has grown to become a family destroyer.]
"I think this is enough to make you realize!" muttered Ivona, then hung up the phone.
Not noticeably, he had already reached the large residence of Iswara. The driver who delivered it immediately returned to Alexander's place. Ivona stared at the high gate of her family home. Lastly, he came back with tears.
Ivona took a deep breath. He tried to forget everything, his focus now was his grandfather. Ivona began to tread slowly, until she arrived at the living room of the mansion.
"Basic child does not know it is lucky!" A slap floated onto Vaya's cheek.
"God, Pa. I don't know about the tape, I'm sure there's someone who has bad intentions for me and engineered all the fake news. I've also never been in contact with my real father." Vaya knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Ma, Mama trusts Vaya, right? Not Vaya, Ma. All the footage is fake!"
Lady Iswara chose to turn away. Honestly she could not bear to see Vaya being treated harshly by her husband, but she was helpless because of Vaya's own actions.
"Ma, please .. trust Vaya, Ma." Vaya said, clear circles did not subside from both eyes.
"Listen this ..hear this well!" exclaim Mr. Iswara.
"Hello, you've been anywhere. I called you from earlier," cerocos Vaya impatiently.
"I'm sorry, Vaya, I'm busy."
"Ah .. Never mind, I don't want to hear your excuses. I need you to help me!" sentak Vaya's.
"Help?" ask the guy across the phone.
"Yes ... help, I want to give a lesson to the Iswara family!" answer Vaya firmly.
"What?" ask the guy on the other end of the phone in disbelief.
"I'm tired of seeing Ivona always hailed, Dad. I want to destroy it right now!"
"What do you want Vaya to do?"
"Release all evidence that Ivona was admitted to a mental hospital. Just let everyone know if Ivona's a crazy girl."
"Tell me if Ivona's entry into the asylum was due to her own family."
"Vaya, if you offend your foster family it won't be good for you, son."
"Ah .. I don't care. Just do what I tell you to! Hire a great man to do it, lest there be such a mess as before!"
"Vaya, have you thought through everything. Isn't Lord Iswara sick, what if he is shaken by the news you are about to spread. You said he used to be angry when he found out Ivona was in a mental hospital, what else now the big name of his family will be questioned by many people."
"I don't care about the old man, thankfully he could soon die from this news."
Mr. Iswara immediately turned off the recording. "You heard, you're trying to destroy the family that gave you life all along!"
"Pa, I'm not the one. It could be that all of those sounds were engineered to sound like my voice. I would never have done it. I love this family so much." Vaya continued to deny.
"Ma, please Vaya. Tell Papa if this is all misunderstood. Not Vaya." Vaya shuffled, and now he knelt at the feet of Lady Iswara. "Ma ...." Vaya continued to put on a pitiful face asking for help from Lady Iswara.
Unable to bear to see Vaya so pitiful, Lady Iswara chose to leave Vaya and her husband.
"Mrs ...."
"Get you out of my house!" banish Mr. Iswara.
"No, Pa. .. please." Vaya is still trying not to be expelled.
"Go or I call security to drag you out!" bentak Mr. Iswara.
With no other choice, Vaya stood up and left the living room. He passed by Ivona who saw all these things. Vaya glares sharply at Ivona, but she can do nothing but hold her anger at the girl.
Ivona grinned at Vaya's anger.
