Marissa and Marcello arrive in front of the orphanage, where Marcello and Melinda used to adopt. Marissa hesitated to step into the orphanage, but Marcello continued to try to convince her.
"I'm nervous" said Marissa.
"Trust me, you'll be fine."
Marcello again led Marissa into the room and met one of the caretakers who had long served at the Orphanage.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Mister and Miss?"
"Include, Ma. I'm Marcello and this is Marissa."
The orphanage woman welcomed Marcello and Marissa's hand with a warm smile.
"Mom, actually we came here to find out who Marissa's real parents are. Because in the near future, Marissa will soon be getting married and she needs her biological parents, especially her father. 19 years ago, I was with my late wife, he said, adopted a baby girl from this place. And I remember, you were the one who handled it all. Now the baby has grown up and now he is sitting in front of you" Marcello said.
Marcello accidentally didn't tell her about her relationship with Marissa. He did not want the woman to find him strange because he had married his own adopted son.
The woman seemed to think while looking at Marissa's pretty face with teary eyes. He grabbed Marissa's hand and smiled.
"Yes, I remember, sir. The little baby I had taken care of a few months after we found it next to the orphanage" the woman replied.
"You're so beautiful, Marissa boy." The woman's words paused. "time passes so quickly, when it feels like just last night Mom held you. I always remember you, son, because I took care of you even for a few months" she continued, holding Marissa's hand tightly.
"Thank God that you remember it. So, can we know who Marissa's biological parents are? We want to see him soon" said Marcello eagerly.
The housekeeper's mother breathed a long breath. "I'm sorry, Mr. Marcello. Me and the rest of the staff at this place have absolutely no idea of Marissa's origin."
The middle-aged woman began to recall events 19 years ago, where she found a tiny baby in a mineral water box with no identity or message. Only a beautiful baby girl is still complete with her ari-ari.
"That night I woke up from my sleep hearing the sound of a baby crying. What I heard was not a hallucination. I actually found a beautiful baby girl who was still red crying from thirst and cold. I grabbed him and then took him in. The entire population of the orphanage was excited and the news of the baby's discovery quickly spread. Until you finally came to adopt him. Honestly, I was heavy at the time. I also want to take care of her, but since there are still many children in the orphanage that I have to take care of, then I agree."
"Shortly, Mom. Isn't there any CCTV or anything that can tell who put the baby there?" ask Marcello.
The woman shook her head. "First, there was only one CCTV and it was located in front of the home. And it just so happened that the baby was placed in a place far from the reach of CCTV cameras, so we could not find who had thrown the tiny baby," replied the caretaker with a gloomy face.
Marissa could not hold back her tears. She cried so much after hearing the story of her miserable childhood. Marcello grabbed Marissa's body and hugged her tightly.
"You just calm down, Cha. Daddy promised he would use all means to find out who your biological parents are" he said.
"Joe, I need your help. Get your men to find out where Marissa's parents are. And give them a big bonus if they manage to uncover who dumped little Marissa that night" Marcello said.
"Good, Sir."
Meanwhile in the room.
Marissa was still silent while thinking about her unfortunate fate. He was not alone there, he was with Bi Ani in the room.
Bi Ani stroked the back of Marissa who was sitting next to her while trying to calm the girl down.
"What's wrong with you, son?" ask Bi Ani.
"So Marissa to the Orphanage, where Mr. Marcello and Mrs Melinda adopted Marissa, Bi-"
"For what?" sela Bi Ani while looking at Marissa's face with a serious look.
"Finding out who Marissa's birth parents are, Bi. What else for?" marissa was upset that Bi Ani had suddenly interrupted her words.
"Then?"
"Everything is in vain, because none of them knows about the origin of Marissa" he said, in despair.
"What do you want to do if you manage to find both of your biological parents, son?" bi Ani asked while looking at Marissa's sad face.
"That's it, for sure Marissa wanted to ask what was the reason they threw Marissa away. Does Marissa not deserve their affection? If that's true, then why would they let Marissa live? Why didn't they get rid of Marissa from the womb?" he said with teary eyes.
Bi Ani immediately hugged Marissa's body while shedding her tears. "They must have a good reason to do that, son,"
