MARRIED AN OLD VIRGIN (MY ADOPTED MOTHER)
Episode 17's
"Lord Eza said that he had been looking for the whereabouts of his long-lost son in recent years, from what I heard there was a family problem because of the disappearance of son Elvis when just a few days were born. But I did not dare to ask deeper, which is certain he came to my house while bringing some evidence related to the disappearance of a baby seven years ago. I can't hide this big thing, because if it's true he's the real father of Elvis' son then the boy should know too. He asked me to bring the two of them together, but unfortunately Mbak Adira has moved to Malang, and he begged me to deliver him here" explained RT sir with details, nothing was covered from Adira, the old man told the truth as told.
After the debate in the living room earlier, Adira asked for time to talk to RT in the dining room, Adira wanted to be more free to hear the real story, he said, elvis Adira told him to go into the room with his nanny.
Adira was pensive with a throbbing head, she never thought that this would happen after all this time. Adira does not think that Elvis's biological family still intends to find the child, seven years is not a short time, he said, why should they come now when love and affection for their adopted son is attached to the mother and the original child. Adira did not want to lose Elvis, Elvis was like half the life of Adira in his life, he could not imagine when he had to separate from the boy he had raised for seven years.
"W-what is the intention of him coming here..... To take Elvis from me?" Adira held back the cry with all her might.
Mr. RT seemed heartless, he also understood very well what Adira felt, a woman who had no one just a adopted son who loved wholeheartedly, he said, do I have to lose my loved ones again?
"If it is true, then Adira will always be allowed to meet with Elvis" he replied without giving certainty.
Adira closed both eyes to hear the speech, as soon as the clear liquid escaped through both cheeks of Adira reddened. His heart seemed to be torn apart by thousands of daggers, it felt when Adira should be happy because finally Elvis found the family where he came from.
"Hiks..... I'm not ready to lose Elvis, sir...." Isak Adira is unstoppable again.
Mr. RT also stares at the interlocutor, how else, the world is cruel even though what we do is a good. In the end, we have to accept the reality.
"Mbak Adira can talk about this well with Mr. Eza, I'm sure he will understand and you can take the best middle ground" RT sir suggested, there is doubt to say so.
Adira tried to toughen up, she immediately wiped away the origin of her tears.
"What if I refuse to take custody, sir? However, I care for and raise Elvis, even though I am only his adoptive parents" said Adira asked for advice again, still not willing if Elvis biological parents take it from Adira.
But quickly RT shook his head.
"I don't think it's possible, ma'am"
"Why, sir? Not necessarily they can care for and raise Elvis well, Elvis was not necessarily willing to go with them" continued Adira.
"I say so not without reason, Mr. Eza is not a random person. He came from among the people, a businessman and conglomerate, who must have high power. It is very unlikely if Mbak Adira will be opposite to him, especially through the legal route surely Mr. Eza has the best lawyer, he said, but beyond that the judge will consider very carefully and apologize if I was presumptuous but.... The future of Elvis will be more secure" he explained again.
The deg!

"I would love to take care of Elvis forever" exclaimed Adira as they returned to the living room and faced each other again with the two men who were still faithful waiting there.
Eza was heard laughing mockingly, after which he stared intently at the woman who was bowed covering her face that was swollen by the crying in the dining room earlier.
"Thank you, but I think it's enough to get here! Next I will take care of my own biological child" ketus Eza pressed the word 'contain' as if to resuscitate Adira who insisted on defending Elvis.
"But I beg you not to force the child, please give him time to accept all of this. D-he... She doesn't even know that I'm just her foster mother" Adira's pinta quivered, begging Eza's compassion not to take Elvis as quickly as possible, Adira is sure the boy will feel devastated when he learns the reality.
"I can't stay here for long, my family is waiting in Jakarta. We have to leave as soon as possible" Eza said firmly as if to reject Adira's request.
"Please give us another week, sir. I want to explain everything to Elvis before you take him away, let him know the facts, I don't want him to hate me one day" please Adira ventured to look at the interlocutor.
The moment the two exchanged glances with different gazes, those sharp eyes momentarily met with eyes filled with shiny puddles of water.
Where are the eyes of this woman? At the beginning he was challenging but now just begging for his mercy, Eza murmured inwardly.
"My advice is better if we give time to this Miss explained to Mr. Elvis, maybe that way your son can be more accepting of his departure" said Rafa the assistant.
It made Eza exhale rough, honestly he was impatient to bring his son home and meet his family there. Eza wants to atone for all his sins against the boy.
"Two days..! I give you two days from now to say goodbye, I hope your business with my son is done the day after tomorrow" he said.
Two days?? It was a short time for him and Elvis spent the last time. Many things he wanted to convey, not to mention Adira did not have time to carry out his promises to Elvis, the worries gathered in the depths of his soul. Adira's afraid.... Afraid Elvis will hate her even though they may never be able to meet again.
"I don't want my son to linger here, he has to have a decent life. But here???" Eza shook his head as if sneering at the state of Adira's life.
"He has to go back to where he should be" Eza continued before he finally got off the couch and left the house.
