“What does Aunt mean? Raffa promises not to hurt Jelita, as Raffa wants to be close to Jelita and protect Jelita. Please Auntie!”
Ms. Alin was silent, the woman was confused to respond to Raffael's remarks. Especially remember Jelita's bitter past. Then if Raffael has more feelings for Jelita, Ms. Alin is afraid of both Raffael's parents who are definitely against their relationship.
“Let Auntie take care of Jelita. Because all this time Jelita is fine. You don't have to worry!” answer Ms. Alin.
“But, Auntie! Raffa please, Raffa wants to be close to Jelita.”
Seeing the serious look in Raffael's eyes, Ms. Alin knew very well that Raffael was a good and trustworthy man. Doesn't matter if he lets Raffael get close to Jelita.
“What has been the life of Jelita and Ethan all this time, Auntie? Where's her ex-husband? looks like Jelita suffered a severe trauma.” Said Raffael to make Bu Alin surprised when he heard Raffael's last sentence.
“Do you know something? Did you just meet Jelita?” asked the worried-looking Bu Alin.
Raffael nodded his head faintly. Then he recounted the incident where Jelita was very frightened as he tried to force his way in. But he had no bad intentions. Just wanted to give Ethan a toy. But he was surprised by Jelita's frightened reaction.
“Tante, going to Jelita's house first!” bu Alin said and hurried to leave Raffael.
“Do not, Auntie! Let Jelita alone with Ethan. He needs some alone time. Raffa believes that Jelita does not want to meet anyone when her mood is not okay.” prevent Raffael.
Ms. Alin also denied her intention to leave. Raffael has a point. Maybe tomorrow morning he'll see Jelita.
Raffael continues to force Bu Alin to tell her about Jelita. Finally Bu Alin had no other choice until finally he told Jelita's past which he thought was very sad.
“Jelita has no husband.” Bu Alin said briefly. Then the woman took off her glasses to wipe away her tears that suddenly came out just like that.
“What does Aunt Alin mean? Don't have a husband? then the kid?” raffael asked with all the bad thoughts already lodged in his mind.
Finally, after a long silence, Ms. Alin resumed her story. Answering Raffael's questions about Jelita's past. Raffael has to know everything, so he doesn't have any regrets at the back.
“Tante met with Jelita four years ago. When it rained heavily, he sat crying in front of the terrace of the house Aunt.” Said Ms. Alin by shrinking back her tears.
Ms. Alin really couldn't continue her story. Especially considering the misfortune of Jelita's fate at that time, but when he saw Raffael, somehow the woman wanted to continue the story.
“Tante helped him and let Jelita stay here for a while. Aunty did not know that Jelita was pregnant at that time. The situation at that time was really bad. Aunt is obviously very worried about her content. Even Jelita had wanted to abort the content. But luckily Auntie knew it all, so the bad intentions were undo.”
“After a few days of living with Auntie, Jelita's condition slowly improved. After that he dared to tell his past.”
Raffael is getting curious. Even he was already attached in his heart, no matter what Jelita's past was, he would stick to his choice, which was to guard and protect Jelita.
“Jelita is a victim of pemerko_saan done by her boss's son where when she interned in college. Again, when it was discovered that she was pregnant, her parents were very angry with Jelita. His father had a heart attack and died. Her mother blamed Jelita and kicked her out.”
Raffael clenched his hands tightly.he was also very angry to hear it all. But his anger was on two people. Namely the man baj***an who had raped_sa Jelita, and Jelita's mother who had expelled and accused Jelita of her father's death.
“Then what about baj*** that, Auntie? Does Aunt know?” raffael asked with a voice restraining in anger.
“Jelita until now never told about the man. did not want to demand accountability in any form. To him, once baj***an, stay baj**an. And the fear that you saw from Jelita earlier, it may be true that she is still traumatized by the fateful incident.”
Raffael really felt guilty to Jelita for her attitude that forced her to enter the woman's house earlier.Maybe even later Jelita still hate him. But he did not want to lose the woman, especially after knowing her past.
“Are you sure you will still want to be close to Jelita after knowing her past is so bad?” ask Ms. Alin.
“You sure? How will your parents respond, Raff? Auntie doesn't want to see Jelita hurt over your family's rejection.” Ask Ms. Alin.
“Already, Auntie no need to worry about that.”
Finally, Ms. Alin nodded her head. Maybe Raffael is the right guy for Jelita. Even though the road they will go through later is very steep. Especially Jelita herself who is difficult to open her heart to anyone.
After his heart was quite relieved to hear Jelita's past story, Raffael finally said goodbye to home.he was very grateful to Bu Alin. Ms. Alin also asked Raffael to keep the secret and not tell Jelita.
“Yes already, Raffa said goodbye first, Auntie!”
“Yes, be careful!”

And so is Om Chiko. The man looked up to Raffael like his own son. After that, Raffael joined there.
“You just got home? overtime?” ask Om Chiko.
“No, Om. It ran out from the outside after coming home from work. Om and Auntie how's it going? Oh yes Mario when to go home?” ask Raffael.
“Om and Aunt both. Mario is likely to be home in two months.he said he will come home with happy news.” Answer Aunty Chelsea.
“Really, Auntie? What is happy news?” raffael asked enthusiastically.
“Mario will get engaged. When do you introduce your future daughter-in-law Mama?” sahut Abi immediately made Raffael lazy to look at his mother.
Rafael is older than Mario. But Mario was actually engaged earlier than Raffael who had always been at home with his single’nya status.
