Inside the dark room, Annora, Haikal, Felicia, and Sherly were in the same room to discuss the continuation of their plans.
"Daffa was taken away" Sherly said suddenly. "At that time, I visited Daffa to learn about his passing. But, he was shouting. I panicked, and someone came in. I hid and, yeah, Daffa was taken away."
"And I'm sure you can guess" said Felicia, Sherly nodding her head.
Haikal was furious half-dead, in contrast to Annora who was still quietly flinching. Haikal glanced at him. "What's keeping you out of focus today, Annora?" tannya
Annora. "No" he answered briefly.
"So, what's the next plan? It's a waste of time if we keep looking for Daffa's whereabouts" Sherly asked.
"We, we have to end this. Close the search for Jennie's death, "Annora said, which made Haikal a little emotional.
"After so much we've done, you canceled everything? Just be right, Annora!"
Annora sighed. "So there are people talking, horrified first," Annora said in a tired tone.
"We'll act as if we didn't put up any resistance. Sherly, you keep doing things as usual. Felicia, approach mom and get as much information as you can about her, but remember, don't be too aggressive let alone arouse suspicion."
"And for Haikal, do it as usual. And for me, maybe it'll be a little difficult. But I'm gonna try to get close to Aaron."
"They'll be two steps away from us if they find out about our resistance. This time, our plan is to give up."
"Remember, the Greeks won because they let Troy feel victorious" Annora explained at length.
"In short, we just have to pretend to surrender, then try to re-read the enemy's stratagem. That so?" ask Felicia
Annora nodded her head. "Yup, that's right. When they feel like they are winning, they will relax. That's the opportunity we're gonna use to work out their new plan."
...****************...
Today, Annora was walking among the flower beds. The park belongs to Erlangga, the first place he visited. Now, he returned to that place to calm his mind as well as his raging heart.
Iris the girl stared at the peace lily flower she was holding. Flowers that symbolize elegance make him always miss his mother. Peace lily is a favorite flower and is a flower that is very identical to its mother.
The riddle he had to answer. Calm down the death of the father, mother, and also Jennie. Everyone, it's so hard. It was like walking with his eyes closed. He did not know where his friend and opponent were. Everything, ambiguous, gray.
Let's think. First, he's going to talk about his father's death, which he thinks is so awkward. The news said his father died from a hit-and-run. Okay, fine, that makes sense. But where is his father's treasure now?
Annora still remembers when her father left them for good, someone from the government confiscated all of his assets for reasons that are unclear.
And stupidly, both the mother and herself believe, because at that time, they were all in mourning because of the departure of the father.
Since then, his life has changed completely. His mother had to bone down to finance his college and the school of his sister.
Second, the death of the mother. This was already clearly known and Annora felt that this incident did not need to be revealed further. His mother left because of Aaron's carelessness.
Ironically, the mother was made absent and taken one of her important organs by the same person. And more surprisingly, now his daughter instead became the wife of a Aaron Rama Erlangga.
And lastly, the mystery of the death of Jennie, Aaron's first wife who is still Annora believes if the man still loves his first wife.
As someone who used to be very fond of Aaron, of course Annora knows about Jennie Angraeni. Their marriage seemed happy, before the shocking news of Jennie Angraeni's death caused by her heart disease.
Almost everyone regrets that. Moreover, their relationship is independent of skewed issues. But who would have thought that what happened was worse than what the media said about Jennie's death.
Jennie dies and is found floating on a quiet lake. Too bad there were no witnesses and also solid evidence for it. However, even if there were, they would immediately get rid of him.
Jennie, if the mystery of Jennie's death is revealed, most likely, other cases of drowning will also come open. Recalling, the contents of his grandmother's will that said the peak of the decline of Erlangga was due to the death of the figure of the daughter of the Jevano commander.
"All this will not work if I continue to worry in making decisions" he murmured softly.
...****************...
Aluna came out in her thick clothes, making Annora smile. "Are you ready, little girl?" ask Annora
Aluna nodded her head. "Of course," he answered with vigor. Annora then clings to the girl and they walk together.
...****************...
The vast courtyard of Erlangga, here is Annora and Aluna's veranda. Felicia then came up with a birthday cake.
"Happy birthday, Princess Aluna Zeela Erlangga" Felicia said kindly.
Aluna scrunched her forehead, she then looked at the mother. "Mother ....?"
Annora nodded her head. "You know, today's not your birthday, is it?"
"Then, why Mother ....?"
Annora smiled faintly. "Because I'm probably gonna be busy tomorrow, anyway, just a day's difference, right?" Annora crouched down in front of Aluna equalizing her height. "For tomorrow, happy birthday little daughter mother, do not forget to be happy always, yes, mother's prayers will always be with you," Annora hoped.
Aluna hugged Annora's body to make the girl stagger slightly back. Aluna was crying, Annora could feel that.
"Ma-thank you, Mother. Luna really likes Mother," said Aluna.
Annora parses their embrace. He wiped away the tears that were on Aluna's cheeks. "Don't cry, honey. Come smile," said Annora, according to Aluna, she then smiled even though her tears did not stop flowing. "Well, that's pretty."
Annora then takes the birthday cake from Felicia's hand. "Now, blow the candle," Annora ordered, Aluna then blew the candle until the fire died. Afterwards, she cut the cake and gave it to Annora. Annora accepted it with pleasure.
Everything is so beautiful to them. So they do not realize if the two pairs of eyes are observing the familiarity that occurs between the mother and the child.
Aaron and Belinda watched them from afar. From the bottom of his heart, Aaron wants to be there to enjoy the warmth created.
Inwardly, Belinda secretly envied Annora who could be so familiar to Aluna. Her heart ached a little when she found out that her daughter loved a foreign woman more than her own mother who had given birth to her.
After they finished eating the cake, they stared at the starry night sky. The moon was also there.
"Look at the star and the moon, they celebrate your birthday" Annora said, pointing to the star-studded black sky.
Aluna looked up at the sky. "Is it really like that?" tannya
Annora nodded her head. "Of course, are you happy, Aluna?" ask Annora
Aluna nodded her head. "Of course, this is the first time I've had a surprise birthday like this. Normally, Belinda would just give me vacation time and that's without a father" he said.
Annora rubbed the woman's head gently. "Do you like fireworks?" Aluna nodded. Annora then gave the code to someone.
Duarr
The sound of fireworks rang out, Aluna stared at the sky with a twinkle. Annora smiled happily at the happy Aluna.
"Mother ...."
"Yes, for you, my little princess, Aluna Zeela Erlangga."
After the show time at eleven, Annora invites Aluna to go back to sleep, but the little girl is reluctant.
"Aluna, save your energy for tomorrow, because tomorrow, I will obey one of your requests, so .. rest so you can think about it," said Annora, only after that Aluna according to.
