Still POV Dio**

I felt my shoulders gently tapped. I lifted my eyes and saw Mama. He handed me a glass of warm water to drink. A smile full of shade It's a snick. Mama joined me and sat on the edge of the pool.

For a while, my mother said nothing. I finished the warm water that Mama gave me. I looked again at the woman who had entered middle age.

Mama is beautiful. Like princess. In her family, her mother is the most beautiful. My mother is grandfather's favorite child. Many wealthy businessmen who intend to ask Mama.

Mama is Papa's proud son. His business brain is very diluted. At first, Mama held a company owned by grandfather. But after Mama knew and fell in love with Papa he was no longer interested in the company.

Mama started to get swept away with Papa's charm. Their relationship got gramps' opposition. Mama doesn't care. He continued to fight for his love until he was finally expelled without bringing any money.

Mama eventually married Papa without any family attending. Feeling the difficulty of pioneering a business with Papa. Until finally, thanks to the help of Papa Sheila, Papa's business finally rose and grew bigger.

Mama initially helped with his business management Papa. Mama who is looking for a leading supplier and vendor. His ability to win large tenders brought Papa's company more familiar.

She is busy with her work, just like Dad. Mama started going out of town doing business out of town. Until finally when Mama came home from Semarang He saw how Papa treated his only child during his stay out of town.

Mama was very angry when she found out that I was suffering from anxiety disorder because of Papa. His emotions were running high at that moment. Without fear, he threatened to sue Papa for divorce if he dared to make me like that again.

Papa didn't bother with Mama's threats. She was afraid that Mama would leave her alone. Regretfully, Papa asked for Mama's forgiveness. Mama's heart was too weak, He accepted Papa's forgiveness on condition that He would no longer help Papa in the company. He will support and watch my growth.

Still Mama lost to Papa, because Papa still keeps me busy studying and additional tutoring. He no longer scolded me for value but he scolded Mama who he considered not good at educating me.

It's not making me recover, instead I'm more afraid that Papa will nag Mama again. Papa can already hold his own company without the help of Mama. Make Papa bigger and bigger. Mama also could not threaten to divorce continue, he was expelled from the house where would Grandpa go again?

Mama's been losing her power to defend me. Only by obeying Papa's words will make Papa and Mama quarrel. I am too. Do not want to continue to see Mama sad finally I just mouthed with every command Papa.

I'm still secretly sketching furniture designs. With art I can make myself feel calm and can control the anxiety in me.

I looked at Mama who was still silent without making any sound. Her once beautiful face had started to be decorated with fine wrinkles everywhere. Her eyes were still swollen from her tears earlier. He also needs to calm down as I do right now.

I held Mama's hand. We have always strengthened each other like this. His once tight hands had already begun to wrinkle. But the warmth he gave us remained the same.

"Sorry Mama.... All because of Mama. You get stressed and crushed again also because of the quarrel of Mama and Sheila. Mama should have been more able to hold back. Sorry Mama Nak...."

I shook my head and put on a smile as if everything was fine. I don't want Mama to feel guilty and blame herself more and more. "Mama is not wrong. Mama is a great mom. Mom can defend her son. Dio salute and be proud of Mama." I hugged Mama tightly.

"But Ma....."

Not finished I talked to Mama came Sheila with steps that were deliberately snapped so that Mama and I turned to her.

"I want to talk to you, io. Two by two." with a tone of indirect emphasis Sheila expels the existence of Mama.

"You don't behave like that with my Mama, La. Respect Him. Hurry up and apologize!" this time I have to defend my mother. Mama's been defending me all this time.

"But it was Aunt Lia who started the commotion with me?! Why should I apologize?"

"If you don't want to appreciate my mother and don't want to apologize, I don't want to talk to you either!" I said firmly.

Sheila finally felt defeated. He knew that if I was firm, he would never falter again. "alright. I'm sorry, Tan." Sheila reached out her hand which she immediately pulled back quickly after Mama welcomed her helping hand.

"Mama go inside first yeah, io. Remember, don't think too much. You need to stay calm."

"Yes, Ma."

My mother left me with Sheila.

The day has started at night. The swimming pool is getting cold. I took my foot out of the pool. I got up and sat in the gazebo. Sheila followed me wherever I went.

I kept quiet and did not start a conversation between us. Actually until yesterday I really missed Sheila's whereabouts. 6 months we did not meet. Sheila who is an angel and always be gentle with me.

Everything changed when I saw Sheila who did not even hesitate to attack Mama with her words. Sheila has changed. It's not just her hair that's changed so short, I don't mind that it might be a job demand. One thing is for sure, Sheila has changed.

"When I heard that you were married, I was honestly shocked. I didn't expect that you would betray our relationship."

I looked at this woman I love. The look in his eyes implied a deep sadness. I know this isn't just an act. Sheila was very disappointed and sad to learn about my marriage.

"What makes me even more disappointed is that you ended up making your wife pregnant. It was more of a shock than the story of you getting married because of a one night stand. Papa was shocked. Papa said that he didn't think your relationship with your wife would go that far. Papa thinks you're just stuck in a marriage relationship because of some form of moral responsibility. It turns out that you really live a married life. Have you replaced me with that woman, io?"

I breathe heavily. This question is hard to answer. In my heart there is not only love for Sheila. But there is affection for Ayu and our future child. Back to doubt and confusion surround me. To hell with the judgment of the person who says I'm unstable, don't stand. I'm just trying to be honest with myself. Have you never felt that there are 2 names engraved in your heart?

"You're still the woman I love, La. But now there's Ayu's name as the woman I love."
