Look at me, my man!
Surrender

After the Emperor was shot and the man sprawled on the floor, Gabriel smirked. "Bring him in" Gabriel said to his men and to some of the policemen behind him.

While the Emperor was hit by gunfire, could only shout. Blood is everywhere. He no longer thought about how to escape, all he wanted was for this bullet to be removed from his leg.

The Emperor was immediately taken to leave, while Gabriel remained silent for a moment. "It looks like if this villa was given to Lyodra, it wouldn't be a problem" Gabriel said.

Yes, this is the deal they're working on. Lyodra wanted Gabriel's island because it was located in a very strategic place and in return, Lyodra would help Bianca return to Selo or support Selo.

Then now, Gabriel thought this villa was the same type as his Villa, and he was sure Lyodra would. So, Gabriel thought the villas could remain his, and this could belong to Lyodra. Of course Gabriel did not bother to pay this villa to anyone, because of course Emperor Morone was already detained.

After a long silence, Gabriel walked out of the room. The man immediately descended following in the footsteps of his men.

The helicopter began to fly. Gabriel grinned as he watched the Emperor groan in pain. The man could not move much, even to whimper it felt difficult, because he was flanked by two policemen who pointed a gun at him.

"That must have hurt," Gabriel's ridicule made the Emperor turn his head. The man did not talk much.

***

The helicopter landed at Gabriel's hospital. There were some people already waiting there while carrying a gurney. They've been told they're picking up a patient who's none other than Emperor Morone.

When the Emperor was about to be laid down, the man had time to wriggle. He better jump off the building. Soon, however, the police shot the Emperor in the right leg again, and in the end, the Emperor was in pain for the second time, and this time the man was completely unable to walk making Gabriel shake his head.

"Dad, are you home?" selo asked as the father walked towards Selo.

Selo was waiting outside the house. He was curious about what his father was doing, because his father said there was a very important mission, and he knew it was related to Roland.

"If you see Daddy here, is it possible that Daddy hasn't come home yet?" gabriel asked to make Selo grieve.

"This Daddy just answers what's difficult" Selo replied.

The middle-aged man decided to sit down for a moment, before he went inside to neutralize his fatigue.

"Momny's asleep?" ask Gabriel.

"Where do I know. I'm, right, from here on out," Selo replied in reply to Gabriel's words, making Gabriel shake his head.

"Have you found out who's behind Roland?" ask Gabriel.

"It has. She's her sister Chiko Morone.” ..

Wasn't Chiko the one who was crippled by brother?" tanyakanya.

"At least, your feet are better than yours" Gabriel said.

"This Ish Daddy," said Selo.

"So what's next? you're gonna keep chasing Bianca?" ask Gabriel.

Selo. She begins to be pessimistic because even though Maria already knows the real Roland, but Selo is sure Maria will not forget her mistake just like that. "I'm not sure about Dad" he replied.

"Currently, you're not a man" he said, "Just like Daddy, Daddy ...."

Gabriel suddenly stopped his words when he almost told Selo his past.

"You almost what?" tannya

"No, forget it" said Gabriel. Gabriel quickly got up from his seat then the man went straight inside.

While on the other hand, Maria kept rolling to and fro. He's really not calm. I don't know why he felt such a bad feeling.

After Roland was arrested, he also shuddered when he imagined the matter, where he was still having a warm conversation with Roland, but a few minutes later he found out the truth.

Lyodra, who was closing her eyes, opened her eyes again because she could not sleep, because Mary was moving too much. "Darling, what's wrong with you?" lyodra asked meekly.

"I can't sleep. I remember that," said Maria. Maria could have imagined that if it had not been uncovered, she would have plunged Bianca into the abyss of death.

Lyodra approached and hugged Maria. "Of course, don't think about it. It's all over and Bianca is safe" Lyodra said.

Suddenly, Mary thought of something. "You've known this for a long time?" ask Maria.

Lyodra nodded. "Already, yeah. Don't talk about it anymore. It's all over. Bianca's safe" Lyodra said. If he explained everything from the beginning, it was certain that they would not fall asleep tonight.

"Wait, are you also supporting Selo and Bianca back?" ask Maria.

"Honey, Bianca has her own stance. Even if I force her to go back to Selo, if Bianca doesn't want to, what do we do?" askalanya.

"So you're really supporting Selo?" ask Maria.

"Darling, it's already night. Stop arguing that is not important" Lyodra said firmly until Maria lowered her head.

"Alright" he answered.

In the end, Maria turned to face her husband and returned Lyodra's embrace.

***

The night changed in the morning.

Maria is waiting to get out. She should talk to her husband. "Dad, hurry. You've been a long time" Maria said as Lyodra continued to change clothes.

"Why, hm?" ask Lyodra.

"I want to ask your permission" said Maria.

"What adultery?" tanyakanya.

"I want to see Selo" replied Maria. He was afraid of what happened like yesterday, where he was caught lying.

"Why did you meet Selo?" ask Lyodra again who really does not understand Mary's mind.

Lyodra chuckled and stroked Maria's hair. "Do what calms you down" Lyodra said.

"Please call her, tell her I want to meet, ", said Maria.

"You don't want to call her alone?" ask Lyodra.

"No, I'm lazy" he replied, making Lyodra shake her head, until Lyodra reached into her pocket and then took her phone and fiddled with it, looking for Selo's number.

"Hello Uncle," said Selo across the street as he lifted the call from Lyodra.

"Are you busy?" ask Lyodra again.

"No Uncle, I'll just go to the office" he replied.

"What's wrong? Is anything important?" ask Selo.

"Aunt Mary wants to see you" replied Lyodra.

"What?!" pekik Selo's.

Lyodra immediately kept the phone away from the ear, as Selo shouted across the street. Apparently, the man was too surprised by what he heard. In Selo's mind, it's possible that Mary would like to re-perceive him with Bianca, because Maria already knows the real Roland, but she certainly doesn't. Maria would say otherwise.

"Where is Uncle? All right, I'll I'll be able to see Aunt Maria," Selo said across the street until Lyodra told her the address of the restaurant Maria was going to order.

Selo cheered in excitement as he closed the call from his former in-laws, until Maira, who was in his room, turned her head. "You're crazy?" ask Maira.

"Maira, did you know Aunt Maria wanted to see Brother? It looks like Aunt Maria will bless Brother back to Bianca" Selo said happily. The look on his face was sparkling, but Maira was just clucking.

"You're overconfident. Who knows Aunt Maria is seeing you because she doesn't want Bianca to come near you anymore" Maira replied.

The look on Selo's happy face disappeared, changing with confusion. What Maira said had a point, but she shook her head before long. "We have to husnuzon, we must not think badly of people" Selo said.

After that, he immediately changed his office suit with nonformal clothes, because he did not intend to go to the office, he did not so to go to the office and chose to see Maria as soon as possible.

***

This is where Selo's car is parked, in a restaurant where Maria is already waiting inside. Selo got out of the car then tidied up his look, then the man went inside. As he entered, he saw the table occupied by Mary, as well as Mary who also looked towards him.

The pleasure of thinking that Maria would support her with Bianca, disappeared when she saw the expression on Mary's face that kept looking at her as before. Flat and cold.

"Good day, Auntie," Selo said as she was at the table.

"Sit down" said Mary. Instead of answering Selo's greeting, Maria immediately told Selo to sit down. He doesn't want to mince words with his ex-daughter-in-law, until Selo's heart beats twice as fast.

Selo regrets having agreed to Maria's words to meet. He should have refused to meet Mary. As she sat down, Mary looked at the man. Selo did not dare to look at Maria.

"You must know my purpose for calling you here" said Maria. She doesn't call herself an aunt to Selo, preferring to speak formally, as she doesn't want her ex-daughter-in-law to break boundaries and be too brave for her.

"I don't know Auntie," Selo replied hesitantly. The man lowered his head.

"The story of you and Bianca seems to be the same as the story of Ferhad and Stevia, but I don't want to let you be like my brother who got a second chance" he said.

Hearing that, Selo raised his head.

"I mean, I know you're trying to catch up with Bianca right now, hoping Bianca comes back to you because you've already repented. Didn't we?" maria asked, while Selo bit her lip. He did not dare to agree or dare to dodge.

"You need to know I raised Bianca wholeheartedly, gave her affection and I as her mother would not be willing to let Bianca come back to you the son of a bitch who once hurt her" Maria said sternly.

"If you think or you're an adult, you'll understand what I'm saying" he continued.

Selo raised his head back then looked at Maria. He asked, "Auntie, did I wrongly want to repair my relationship with Bianca and make amends?"

"Wrong, very wrong. The best decision you will ever make is divorce. If you really want Bianca to be happy and make amends, get out of her life. You understand what I mean?" ask Maria.

After saying that, Mary got up from her seat. "Remember if you really love Bianca, let her live happily and want to make amends, never show me your nose again in front of my daughter" Maria said before leaving, until after saying that Maria immediately left Selo just like that.

Selo. It seemed as if Maria's words slapped Selo, resuscitating him that it wasn't as easy as he thought.

If flashback to the back, how he chased Bianca, he saw that Bianca really hated him. He also remembers his mistakes with his wife from the time they started dating until marriage, and what hurt him the most was when he found out Bianca lost their child because she was busy with Aghnia.

Selo's eyes glazed over. True said Maria, he hurt Bianca too much until Selo finally made the decision that he would never again pursue the woman. The meeting with Maria was brief, but capable of disrupting the man's feelings, and was able to make him aware of how much he had done wrong in the past. He also recalled Bianca's remarks about him being easily seduced.

Selo took a breath and then exhaled it. He wiped the corner of his watery eyes. The man called Bianca. Once, twice, three times not lifted, until the fourth time Bianca finally raised her call.

"What's wrong? I busy. Don't bother me" said Bianca.

"Wait a minute" Selo said until Bianca again stopped her intention to turn off the call.

"What?" ask Bianca.

"What do you think is my attitude some time back who wants to pursue you?" ask Selo.

"Selo, you want me to be honest?" ask Bianca.

"I want to be honest" Selo said.

Bianca was silent across the street. "Selo either you're asking this to joke or seriously, but please listen to me. From the moment you met Aghnia, your attitude has changed greatly. When we were dating and getting married, I was begging for your time to prepare everything, but you had fun with Aghnia.

"When I asked for your time to accompany me, you reasoned to be busy but you spent your time with him. The first night you did it without feeling, leaving me in confusion. When we went on our honeymoon, you went with Aghnia and I miscarried, exhausted from looking for you when we were married. You shut me down like I was guilty, and you had more time with Aghnia.

"After we got divorced and after you were dumped by Aghnia, you came to me saying you wanted to go back and fix everything. Your apologies have been said, but your behavior will never be erased by anything. I'm even traumatized by marriage, so it feels like I don't want to remarry and it's all because of you. You won't know how sad I am when I can only look at our future child USG, without being able to see his form because I lost him. So please don't waste your time chasing me, because there's no door for you to come back. You also please be self-aware that your mistakes are bigger than anything.” Bianca spoke at length. The woman made her complaint.

Without feeling clear bulir immediately fell from Selo eye pelupuk when hearing strands of words from Bianca. He took a breath and then exhaled it.

"Well Bi, I'm sorry also because I shamelessly kept coming to you, but from now on I promise I won't come to see you again" he said.

"Good then, maybe we'll just meet as brothers. No more and don't get too familiar with me" replied Bianca.

After saying that Bianca instantly turned off her call.
