Married a Single Mother
MSM 21'S

Jelita and Raffael have not communicated with each other for a week. Especially after dinner with raffael's family at that time.

During the week Jelita still sent the order cake to Raffael's office. It's just that for three days in a row there are employees who deliberately wait for his arrival to take the cake, so it does not have to make him painstakingly ride the elevator to the CEO's room. Then the next days Jelita brought the cake to Raffael's room. It's just that there's nobody there.

Jelita also did not intend to contact Raffael even though he just mince words asking for news. Because from the beginning of the man's arrival in his life, Jelita did not give any hope. And now if Raffael suddenly disappears without a trace, he should be fine too.

Only Jelita herself knows how she feels now towards Raffael. Moreover, the type of woman never seems to share her complaints with others. Even if it's Ms. Alin. For Jelita, Ms. Alin knows enough about her past. The rest, she will deal with it herself. Apalgi is a matter of feeling.

As usual, after returning from Cafe Jelita will remain at home to accompany Ethan to play. Because all this time only Ethan is the place to release all the fatigue in his life. Seeing her laughter and the whining of her son was enough to comfort Jelita.

Meanwhile in Cafe Bu Alin it appears that Abi was visiting there alone. Abi is very curious and wants to know a lot about Jelita from Bu Alin. People who have been close to Jelita.

“I am very happy to be visited by Mrs Reno.” Said Ms. Alin smiling warmly at Abi.

“Mbak Alin don't talk formally like that. Mbak Alin is not an employee of Mas Reno anymore.” said Abi was uncomfortable with the attitude of Bu Alin.

“Nnothing, just relax. because indeed you are Mrs Reno right?”

Abi just smiled, letting Ms. Alin be as comfortable as calling her. Though the age of Bu Alin was far adrift with him.

Then Bu Alin asked the intention of Abi's arrival to Cafe. Of course, it is not just stopping by if there is no important business.

“I want to ask about Jelita, Ma'am. Has Ma'am Alin helped Jelita all this time?” ask Abi.

Ms. Alin was silent for a moment. He observed Abi's face which looked oensaran once with Jelita's life. Although in his heart he can judge that Abi is a good woman and will certainly bless Raffael's relationship with Jelita, what's wrong if he tells all Jelita's past. Or does Abi know everything? Just wanted to know more clearly from the people closest to Jelita.

“I've known from Raffa, Ma'am. If Jelita is the victim's woman,-“

“True. Thank God Raffa told you to be honest with you.”.

Ms. Alin continued her story. Starting from her first meeting with Jelita, until her pregnancy, even Jelita had wanted to end her life when she found out she was pregnant with a child from the results of pemko_saan.

Ms. Alin again shed her tears when she remembered the dark time, she also told Abi that Jelita had never once discussed who the man who had done evil to her. Because after Jelita decided to take care of her child, since then Jelita has buried in her dark past.

Abi was crying when he heard it. Moreover, it is very regretful of the attitude of Jelita Mother who has expelled him and accused the cause of her own father's death.

“Raffa has asked for his blessing for his relationship with Jelita. I was the first to give my blessing, Ma'am. I am very grateful, through Mbak Alin, Raffa was reunited with women like Jelita. Then does Jelita live near here, Ma'am?”

“Iya. Jelita lives behind this Cafe. it's just that this night she doesn't come out anymore. just accompany Ethan play inside.” Answer Ms. Alin.

“Ethan?”

“Iya. Jelita's child. He's three years old. As long as he works, I take care of him. I already consider Jelita like my own son, and Ethan like my own grandson.” Answer Ms. Alin.

Raffael has just returned from out of town. His business trip was so sudden did not have time to give news to Jelita. Moreover, his phone was left in his room. He only brought a special mobile phone to connect with office people.Jelita number Raffael did not remember.

Upon arrival at home, Raffael immediately checked his phone which turned out to have run out of power. He immediately filled it up and could not wait to see the message Jelita sent. Did the woman send a message and say miss. Or have you been asking about her whereabouts for a few days? just imagine Raffael smiling to himself.

While waiting for the battery to fill up, Raffael decided to take a bath first. It felt like he needed a moment to soak to relax his body.

Still wearing a towel around his waist, Raffael turned on his phone. After waiting for a while hoping for a message notification from Jelita to come in, it turns out zonk. There was not a single message that Jelita sent. Raffael's body suddenly went limp. He remembered the woman's last words when she drove him home after dinner. Jelita asks him not to expect a love reply.

“Is there not the slightest taste for me, Jelita?” raffael's inner being a little disappointed.

Raffael glanced at the wall clock in his room already showing at eleven o'clock in the evening, he rushed to look for a change of clothes. Now he's going to go see Jelita. Hadn't he been determined to continue to pursue Jelita's love, even though the woman did not reciprocate her feelings at all.

At half-twelve less the new Raffael up Jelita's house. He looked around already looking lonely. Moreover, Jelita's house is dark. That's a sign that the residents of the house have all slept. But Raffael stayed out of his car. I don't know if he's gonna knock on Jelita's door to take off his miss.

From the side of Jelita Raffael's house smelled fried rice. Apparently in front of the alley there are people selling fried rice there. And the person who had filled Raffael's mind for a few days was sitting in a chair waiting for his order of fried rice.

Raffael smiled happily. It turns out that tonight he can see and meet directly with the woman of his heart. Finally he chose to wait in front of the terrace.

“Jesus!!” pekik Jelita was surprised when he saw a man sitting in a front seat of his porch.

Jelita who initially thought there was a bad person was patrolling her house, now she sharpened her vision. It turned out that the man was Raffael.

“Hai!” Sapa Raffael and smiling kindly looked at Jelita while waving her hand.

Jelita showed an ordinary attitude, although honestly there was a little relief in her heart when she saw Raffael.

“What did Mas come here?” jelita asked in her flat voice.

“Of course because it misses you.” Raffael answered as he spread out his arms and hugged Jelita.
