In the afternoon, Gloria who had decided to come to the Jade friend's residence began to prepare. Fifteen minutes later they left in one car.
A while on the way, finally the car that was supplying them with their departure all arrived at an enormous Mansion, even surpassing the size of the Jade Mansion.
"I never knew you had friends around here, baby." Oxela called for his opinion. Jade just smiled knot.
"Let's get down!" jade said she got down from her seat next to the driver.
Oxela, Gloria and a baby sitter guarding Briel follow in Jade's footsteps by getting out of the car.
Their arrival had apparently been awaited by the owner of the Mansion. A beautiful woman with exotic skin smiled towards all of them.
"Hallo, Jade." said a friendly.
Jade shook the woman's hand, then looked at his wife. "Hallo Renata, this is Oxela, my wife."
"Hi, Oxela...." The woman named Renata turned to shake Oxela's fingers, her smile still cracked.
"Hallo Renata," Oxela replied with a smile.
But suddenly Renata glanced at one other woman who came with Jade. "You must be Gloria!" guess it.
"You know me?" gloria asked in surprise. He does not know the figure in front of ya but this woman is so eloquent and precise guessing about her name.
"I'm sorry we haven't met before, Gloria." Renata smelled a smile. "But if you look at my husband, you're definitely not feeling alien to him" he continued.
In the next split second, they were startled by the presence of someone who came and joined on the veranda of the Mansion.
"Darling, why weren't they invited in!" said someone who made Oxela and Gloria flabbergasted.
"James?"
"James?"
The two women now turned to look at Jade as if asking since when did Jade become friends with James? James was Owen's best friend, so Gloria and Oxela thought today.
"It turns out my husband is pretty famous," Renata joked, making everyone chuckle. "Yes, let's go in! Go, go!" disillusioned.
By the time they had all gone inside and sat in the living room of the mansion. A baby sitter looked out from inside another room while holding a very handsome puffed up baby.
At that moment, Gloria seemed stunned and hypnotized by the atmosphere. The best moments with the baby felt reflected on his head as if there was a track record that was being turned.
How not, Gloria remembered very well the owner of a face similar to the baby, her husband. The baby was a junior version of her husband's duplicate. The color of the iris and the shape of the face are almost similar.
Inevitably, Gloria stood up from her seat, her eyes as if focusing on just one point - staring at the baby - as well as her ears, only able to hear the baby who was now clearly able to chatter while waving his hands as if he was calling him.
"Jeffhhh...." Gloria's tongue is very light calling her son's name. Without asking anyone or without waiting for an explanation from anyone Gloria is very sure if the one in front of her is now her son, Jeff.
Gloria's hands stretched out, nothing could prevent the woman's movement, not even the baby sitter holding the baby voluntarily gave the baby to move into Gloria's arms.
"Jeff.." he said again, this time sounding softly accompanied by a sob, but a smile of happiness clearly appeared out of the corner of the woman's lips.
Everyone in the room witnessed the heartbreaking and happy moment. They were full, but also very happy, a kind of opposite feeling mixed together into one.
"How can Jeff be here?" This time Oxela's voice sounded loud. He even covered his mouth with one hand signifying a truly speechless attitude.
"It's a long story, honey." Jade. But immediately Oxela realized something, that Jade had been hiding great things from her, including about Jeff's existence even about the baby's life.
"You need to explain it to me in detail!" demand Oxela look hard at her husband.
Jade nodded. He knew after this there would be a lot of questions from Oxela for him.
Gloria no longer focused on the husband and wife debate. His essence was diverted only to the prince.
"Jeff, it's Mommy." said Gloria, kissing Jeff's puffed cheek as if she wasn't going to let go of the baby at all.
Hearing that, Gloria hugged the son and then landed a kiss back to almost all parts of his son's body. His longing was very heavy, even difficult to bear.
"My God, Jeff Mommy's son...." Gloria shed happy tears. The cloudiness on his face gradually began to be replaced with a bright look. It seems that happiness is still on his side, but all this time he has been desperate in the shackles of sadness.
"Gloria, you can sit down first. It's okay holding Jeff, no one will take him away from you." Renata wrapped around Gloria's shoulders, as if they had known her for a long time, very friendly and full of warmth.
According to Gloria, she was sitting next to Renata, inexplicably Gloria also felt that Renata's aura was very calm.
"James.. Can-can you explain, how did Jeff get here?"
James nodded. "I'll explain later" he said.
"I want to know now!" sue Gloria while looking at Jamas full of pleadings. His eyes looked teary, making James finally could not bear and relented.
"All right."
James tells how he was able to save Jeff from Mark's Mansion six months ago. No lies, James told Gloria everything about Jeff. Including how he and Owen worked together to get Jeff out of there.
"So, Owen was alive and had a stab wound? And you're the doctor who treated her?" gloria asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes." Yeah."
"After that incident? Did Owen really die in the fire?"
James was silent, he glanced at Jade and they seemed to be talking through eye gestures. Jade certainly did not want to violate Owen's request to not first tell Gloria about him.
"That's why I don't know. I was just there until Jeff got out of there. After that I don't know." James had to give an excuse, because he also did not want to talk too much which would be a Boomerang for him later. Maybe Owen will be angry with him if he opens his mouth about the disguise of his best friend.
"So, you don't know if Owen's alive or dead?"
James shrugged his shoulders then shook his head in a doldrums.
"I see a man who looks like him, for whatever reason don't say I'm hallucinating" Gloria said in a stern tone. He opened up to James and everyone else there. "So, I still hope big! I hope my guess about that man isn't wrong. I wish he was my husband. Owen is alive!" full of confidence.
Renata stroked Gloria's shoulder trying to strengthen.
"You're a strong woman. I know that from the look in your eyes, may your hope be truly granted" Renata said. I don't know why every sentence Renata said seemed to make Gloria calm. I don't know where James found a woman like this.
Renata and James really seemed to be in harmony according to Gloria.
"Here we go, let's talk about something else first. I can't afford to talk about the sad stuff all the time." James tried to divert this conversation. He knew Gloria's heart wasn't okay. Inwardly, James cursed Owen who made Gloria like this because of a disguised mission as Nico.
"Why did you get married but didn't invite us!" chirped Oxela who had been silent since. It seemed that Oxela also wanted to distract from the conversation about her brother which also made her grieve.
"I'm sorry, our marriage was so sudden." Renata.
James began to tell the details of his marriage with Renata which was very rushed. It was all because of Jeff. Coincidentally while saving Jeff, he and Renata are not married. They dissolve in each other's activities until the marriage is delayed.
"Renata is a psychiatrist at my Hospital. We were both busy and always postponed the wedding. Eventually, we decided to speed up the marriage because of Jeff's relationship. Jeff brought us good luck" James said.
It is fitting that Renata is good at carrying herself and behaving warmly as if understanding Gloria's situation, apparently the woman with a shady smile was a psychiatrist. Surely Renata could see the current highlight of Gloria's sadness and happiness.
"Sorry, Jeff is troubling you." Gloria's not feeling well. "Surely you're delaying the honeymoon too, right?" guess it.
James and Renata looked at each other. "Yes that is," they answered in unison while chuckling.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" gloria felt guilty again.
"It's okay, we love Jeff so much. Anyway I haven't gotten any signs that I'm going to have a baby, with Jeff being a kind of entertainer for both of us" Renata said with a shady smile.
"That means after this you and James have to go on a long honeymoon!" chirp Gloria while playing the hand of Jeff in her lap. He made Jeff clap his hands now.
