"I said enough!" shouted Marcello.
The screams of the man echoed throughout the room. His jaw grew firmer and the sound of his teeth grinding against each other. Highlight his eyes sharply stared at Sarrah, making Sarrah's guts shrivel.
Without the couple noticing, Marissa was already in the room with a sad face staring at them.
"Ja-so .. is that true?" ask Marissa stammering.
Marcello panicked, he immediately approached Marissa and tried to calm the girl down.
"No, Icha. That's not true, Sarrah just ..."
Marcello's words were held back because Sarrah interrupted his words.
"Yes, you are neither Marcello nor Melinda's son! You are just a child adopted from an orphanage! Fate of yours, Marissa! Your parents don't even want to take care of you and abandon you in an orphanage" Sarrah said.
Marissa's tears suddenly rolled down both sides of her cheeks. The words made by Sarrah hurt his feelings. Slowly, Marissa retreated her steps while watching the facial expressions of the two people standing before her. Sarrah with an annoyed expression and Marcello with a panicked face looked at her.
"Cha, Daddy please listen to Daddy!"
Marissa turned around and ran to her room.
"Now you are satisfied, Sarrah!" hardik Marcello's.
The man ran after Marissa who had disappeared from his sight. As for Sarrah, he fell silent in the room while thinking about what he had done. He himself did not know whether what he was doing was right, or even a big mistake.
Meanwhile, the,
Marissa kept running until she finally arrived at the door of her room. He opened the door of the room and closed it again.
Slowly, Marissa stepped onto the bed and sat there hugging her knees. His body shook again and his tears spilled again.
"Is what Sarrah said true? If that's true, then my fate is so sad. Even my parents, they don't want my presence on their side?" inner Marissa.
"Cha?!"
Suddenly Marcello opens the door to Marissa's room and enters without asking permission. He approached the girl and sat next to her.
"Cha, listen to Daddy" said Marcello, stroking Marissa's still-vibrating shoulders.
"So that's right, sir? You and Mrs Melinda are not my biological parents?" ask Marissa.
Marcello exhaled heavily while looking down at Marissa's bowed face.
"Yes, that's right. But to us, you are our real son, Cha. Me and Melinda love you so much, even more than ourselves" Marcello said.
Marissa nodded her head. However, he still threw his gaze in another direction. He did not want to look at the man.
"So .. do you know who my birth parents are?" ask Marissa.
Finally Marissa turned to the man while smiling a thin smile. "May I ask you something, Mr Marcello?"
"Yes, of course," said Marcello.
"Did you feel for me as a father to his son?" ask Marissa again.
"Yes, Icha. Believe me!" marcello.
"That's all?!"
"Yes" said Marcello.
The look of sadness on Marissa's beautiful face after knowing how Marcello really feels. If only, the man had said that he had more feelings than a father, perhaps he would have chosen to stay and fight for his feelings for the man.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Marcello. Can I take a break? I'm tired .." - Marissa said as she spread her body back to the man.
"All right,"
Marcello approached the girl then placed a warm kiss on her forehead. "Good rest, dear Icha," said Marcello.
Slowly he left the room and let Marissa rest there.
After Marcello died, Marissa immediately got up from her position and sat down as before.
"Yes, Lord .. What should I do after this? What Sarrah said is true. I'm not who Mr. Marcello is and I have no rights to that man. Especially to interfere in his personal affairs, including his relationship with Miss Sarrah, "the inner Marissa.
Marissa was silent while thinking hard. Think about the steps he will take after this. Until finally he decided to leave the magnificent Mansion and also leave the life of Marcello.
He wants to start a new life with a new status and then find out who and where his parents are. After putting her small stash of money into her pants pocket, Marissa walked out of her room slowly.
Yes, during his stay with Marcello, he never used cash. Whatever he wanted was all swipe and for now the Marcello cards are useless. He could not have brought the card with him.
Marissa walked leisurely, just like always. The servants who were doing their work, did not at all suspect Marissa's spirit at that time.
He continued to walk until in front of the Mansion gate. The Mansion Guards greeted, as he passed by the burly men.
"Where is Miss Marissa going?" ask one of the security guards.
"So I ordered food, sir. And the courier is waiting ahead" said Marissa, pointing out the gate.
"Let me take it, Miss. Miss Marissa just wait here,"
"Don't, let me! I'm hungry and want to eat it on the way" said Marissa.
By force, the security guards allowed him to leave the Mansion.
