Planted Like a Queen Dropped Like Dust
Part *24

As powerful as graceful energy trying to look mediocre now. He also did not want to look sad in front of the two old men who also felt the same way he felt.

"No papa, Ma. I'm not sad. I was just thinking about it. Ah, nevermind. Perhaps the path of destiny will change. Who knows what will happen next, right?"

"You're right, son. No one will know what will happen next. For that, just go well, honey. Whatever your decision will be. I am sure that is what is best for you and your family. Mama trusts you, Gun."

Gracefully hugged the woman gently. She buried her head into the second warm embrace after the mama who had given birth to her.

A woman who looks very young. But it hurts after her adopted child leaves and rarely returns.

Graceful to feel, their fate is the same. Made to lose and harbored feelings by the same person. It's just the difference, this mama still has one more child. It can make him run away because of his longing for another child. As for her, there is nothing else if she loses one husband.

"I'll miss you later, Mom. Sure."

"Mama too, Gun. My mom will miss you too. Because you already think like your own mama's son. I hope we can meet again later, son."

Two days later, the two foster-in-laws finally left their homeland. Gracefully deliver their departure all the way to the airport.

While Dion, he can't come. The reason remained the same, as he was too busy with work. Hence, he could not come to the airport to deliver the departure of his adoptive parents.

The sad strokes were clearly visible on the faces of the two old men. Especially, her mother who was very hopeful could see the child she cared for with all her heart before she left the homeland.

Anger re-emerged in the heart of Grace over the attitude of Dion who he considered to be very heartless. He also considers Dion ungrateful as a human being.

A sense of regret also appeared in the heart of Grace at this time. She regrets having known and chosen to marry Dion whom she considers heartless.

But, there was something else that was not Graceful and both of his adoptive parents knew. Dion did not want to come to meet his two foster parents. Except, he couldn't come.

Dion is serving time for wrongdoing while in the city where he grew up. His mother and father knew that that night, he was not looking after Sisil who was sick. Instead, search and stay together with Graceful all night.

My mother was angry because of that. In addition, Sisil's report said that Anggun, Dion's wife had harmed him in the hospital bathroom. While Dion did nothing to commemorate Anggun after making a mistake.

The deal says his biological family can't ask Dion for a divorce for any reason. Instead, Dion could not say whatever problem he was currently facing to his wife.

Dion's biological parents also said, if Anggun survive for two years with the current state of Dion, then they will accept Anggun as a son-in-law. But in reality, they are not good people. Rather, it was the cunning people who only wanted to master and take advantage of Dion alone.

In fact, Dion's famous hard and cruel birth father did not hesitate to make Anggun as a threat to Dion. Because he knew, Anggun was Dion's current weakness. Then he used Gracefully as much as possible.

Dion is still serving his sentence, in brackets in his room without being able to go anywhere for a week. Before that, he also received a lash from his fierce papa a few burrows on his back. And the lash marks are still there and still very painful.

That's what he accepted to keep his wife okay there. Because he had put his mother in the hospital with his wife. So that his papa would not hurt Anggun, Dion was ready to accept all punishment.

To the extent that, he could not meet his adoptive parents because of that punishment. He resigned to all circumstances. The most important thing is the safety of his wife. He hated his wife to be okay.

Dion's Sacrifice was indeed Graceful not knowing. Because Dion wasn't being frank with his wife, obviously Anggun only knew what he saw. Because he's just a human being, not a fortune teller who knows what's going on without that person telling the truth.

***

The days passed as before. Longing and loss were also still present in Anggun's heart after the departure of his adoptive father-in-law. But, he was getting more and more determined to concern himself with his work.

Graceful even often overtime to keep herself busy with work and forget about personal life. Bi Ina who saw that, felt anxious. He tried to contact Dion, but he couldn't. Because Dion's phone has been tapped by his biological family. Just in case, Dion chose to use another phone and turn off the phone he used to use before.

For the sake of security, he chose not to have any first relationship with his wife as well as life in the city where he grew up. With a hopeful heart, to keep everything all right.

Graceful busy by work, automatically takes a lot of time just to work and work. It makes the closeness between him and Damar more created.

They so often go out to eat, also often discuss personal things that have nothing to do with work. It made a different taste in Damar's heart for Graceful. While Graceful, still feel ordinary. Nothing has changed with his heart. Despite the pain, the heart still remained for Dion's husband.

As of right now, Damar is trying to please the woman he likes in the various ways he has. One of them, always there when Anggun need.

"I was surprised by Mr. Damar, Sis. He's our client, or is the driver Anggun? There is always a time when Anggun needs. To the extent, like being a driver to mbak Anggun. Though at first, he also came with his driver here."

One of the officers spoke to Siska the Anggun secretary. With eyes fixed on Anggun and Damar who are outside the office of course.
