Married a Single Mother
MSM 18'S

Now Jelita has started her activities back to work in the cafe. Weekend time was enough for him to rest from his tired work. Now it's time to work again for Ethan.

And today also Jelita will start her routine of delivering cakes and drinks to Raffael's office. Somehow there is a nervousness when going back to meet the man, especially after his meeting yesterday.

Raffael, who is still adamant about his stance, does not want to leave despite being subtly expelled by Jelita after confessing about his past. Even Raffael increasingly shows his seriousness to immediately marry him on the grounds of Ethan. Ethan who is getting bigger will one day ask about the whereabouts of his father. But for Jelita it is not that easy he received Raffael. What about Raffael's extended family if he knows of his status and past.

“Lita? Is there anything lacking with the cake order?” ask Ms. Alin suddenly.

Since then, Ms. Alin saw Jelita's attitude that tended to be silent, the woman was very curious about what really happened with Jelita.

“Oh, sorry Mom. Everything is complete. Alright, Lita will leave now.” replied Jelita.

“You have a problem, Son?” ma'am Alin asked, and Jelita answered with a headband.

“Talk honestly! Does this have anything to do with Raffa? What did he do to you?” ask Ms. Alin.

Jelita. Why did Ms. Alin know that she was thinking about Raffael. Does Miss Alin know anything?

“Im sorry Mom, Lita. A few days ago Raffa came to see Mom. He asked Mom for permission to get to know you more closely. Sorry if I invited him. I'm sure Raffa is a good guy. But it all depends on you.” Said Ms. Alin honestly.

“Iya, Mom. Mas Raffa has already met me. He also said it like that, but Jelita does not seem to deserve to be with a perfect man like Mas Raffa. Moreover, his family is not necessarily able to accept my past.”

“Mr Reno and Mrs Abi are good people. I'm sure they won't look at someone from their past. Ethan is growing bigger and bigger. He must really need Dad. My advice, from now on try to open your heart, Jelita. If it's still hard, do it for Ethan. Mom will always be by your side, son!”

Jelita's eyes glazed over hearing Ms. Alin's words. Truly the woman he had considered like his own biological mother was more than his own biological mother who had just thrown it away.

“Thank you very much, Mom! Alright, Jelita deliver order first.” Answer Jelita. He did not agree or reject the advice given by Ms. Alin. To be honest, he still doubts. But maybe if it was for Ethan's sake, he would.

As usual, Jelita will enter the CEO's room after being invited by the receptionist who had previously received a special mandate from Raffael.

Jelita knocked on Raffael's door. But suddenly the door opened and appeared Livy who happened to run into his superior.

“Excuse me, Miss!” greet Jelita politely.

Livy was silent not to respond to Jelita's greeting. She doesn't like Jelita very much. But also no longer dare to interfere with the woman.

“Nona Livy! Don't you have any manners?” ask Raffael. It turned out that Raffael who was inside noticed the reaction of his sister who was very unconcerned with Jelita's arrival.

“Ya, please come in!” livy finally said. After that he left Raffael's room.

Jelita put some boxes of cakes and also minimun on the table. After that he immediately resigned his retreat by trying to behave as usual like nothing.

“Jelita! Why are you silent? are you okay today?” ask Raffael.

“I'm fine, Mr.” Jelita answered by lowering her gaze.

“Hey, we're both now.Can't you call me as usual? I miss that call so much.” as well as Raffael with a warm smile.

Jelita looked at Raffael's face. It could be that the man was relaxed like this while he was in the office.what if someone else knew or heard him.

Jelita nodded her head. After that he immediately cut off his eye contact with Raffael who had been watching him since. Jelita's heart is not safe in this position.

“I'm sorry, Mister!” pamit Jelita politely.

“Don't go first! Later in the afternoon I will pick you up. I will take you to dinner at home.” said Raffael. Jelita was very surprised.

“What do you mean, Sir? Sorry, I can't.” Reject Jelita.

“Hey, I didn't make an offer. Now you can go.” Raffael said and went straight back to his desk. Ignoring Jelita who was still in shock.

Jelita wanted to make her protest because she did not want Raffael to go to dinner at her house, but unfortunately, there was someone who knocked on the door of the room. Jelita finally decided to just leave.

It turned out that the one who knocked on the door was Sania. The two women passed each other in front of the CEO's door. As usual, Jelita was always polite to anyone. But unfortunately Sania didn't care much about it.

“Sister Raffa! Why didn't you pick up my phone?” whinek Sania spoiled while the door was still open. And Jelita could hear it clearly.

Raffael glimpsed out the door that Jelita had just left. It seems that the woman also listened to what Sania had just said, but Raffael did not chase after her, as it would further make Sania suspicious.

“What are you doing here?” raffael asked in a flat voice.

“I wanted to take Raffa to lunch. But Big Brother didn't pick up my call.”

“Sorry, I'm busy. You can get out of this room right now if there is nothing important anymore.”

Sania was really upset. Why is Raffael always acting like this to him. Though all this time have been trying to patiently bring Raffael home, but it turns out his attitude has always remained the same. Finally without saying anything, Sania walked out of Raffael's room just like that.

In the afternoon after office hours, Raffael immediately picked up Jelita. He also brought a paper bag containing clothes that will be worn for Jelita at dinner later.

Yes, Raffael will introduce Jelita to his parents. I want to ask my mom and dad for their blessing. Let everyone judge this too soon. Raffael doesn't care. Again, he stressed that love can come at any time.

After trying various ways to get to Jelita, the woman finally wants to go with Raffael to dinner with her family. Even Bu Alin also intervened to persuade Jelita. While Ethan is temporarily entrusted to Bu Alin.

“You nervous?” raffael asked when his car had just entered his yard.

Jelita answered with a nod of her head. Not only was she nervous, but she was also insecure. Moreover, seeing so magnificent Raffael's house. What if Raffael's parents throw him out.

“Come!” Raffael gently held Jelita's hand and invited her into the house.
