"Are you sorry now, Daniel?" Samuel approached Daniel and whispered. "You better leave him. A man like you is no match for him. I'll take better care of him than you. I'm willing to be a surrogate father to the child he's carrying."
"Don't try to take it from me or I'll finish you off!! He is only mine. Let's see it's Samuel!" threaten Daniel while pulling back Samuel's crate.
Samuel was calm. "Don't you already have a wife, Daniel. You think a woman likes to be cheered on? She won't be happy with you."
"You know nothing Samuel! He is..."
"Daniel, it turns out you're here. We've been looking for you everywhere."
Daniel's words stopped as Ardya, Ira and Violet approached. Daniel quickly removed Samuel's crate and pushed Samuel away slightly. Samuel almost fell down because of the impulse.
"What's going on?" ask Ira.
"none. We're just old friends who happened to meet back here" Daniel lied. "What's it gonna take to find me?"
"What do you need to ask? You better take your wife home or better take her to the hospital. He doesn't seem to be feeling well tonight."
"Yes, Daniel. My head was dizzy and my body felt weak," Violet took the opportunity to resuscitate her head on Daniel's shoulder spoiledly.
"It sucks! If there's no Ardya and Ira here I'm definitely not going to pretend anymore. And I want my own little cat to kill you." Daniel growled. "Yes already. I'll take you home."
With a sense of force, Daniel leads Violet back to the car. Not willing to lose track of Lina, he sent a message to Qazi asking her to come to Xu's residence with Norman. He orders them to follow Lina wherever she goes tonight and report it to her.
"You've seen for yourself. What say?" samuel asked Lina who he knew was hiding behind a window curtain. He approached.
"I don't want to hear anything about him. Hicks..."
Lina covered both her ears. His heart was too sick to accept this reality and was afraid to remember everything. What if it turns out to be true that he is only a mistress. Nah! Lina couldn't. After what he saw earlier made those possibilities even greater. Daniel was married, so who was he?
"We're home?" samuel said as he extended his hand.
"Yes" Lina wiped her tears and received Samuel's hand.
They walk out leaving the party noise that was actually just a long time ago started. A dark blue car was already waiting for them outside. Samuel helps Lina get into the car before she does. The car then drove slowly away from Xu's residence. On the way Lina just daydreamed. With his body propped up in the car seat, he stared blankly ahead. Samuel occasionally glanced at Lina. He felt sorry to see her and understood what Lina was going through right now. Samuel let Lina calm herself down for a moment. It took a while for Lina to accept it.
...⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜...
Along the way home, Daniel also daydreamed. His head was filled with Lina's shadow. He did not care about Violet leaning her head against his shoulder. What else after finding out turns out Lina really lost her memory. Lina doesn't remember her nor Julius and Julia. Daniel is confused as to how to restore Lina's memory and for Lina to return to him. And the words of Samuel had disturbed Daniel's mind. But from all that there was happiness in Daniel's heart. Happy to know that Lina is pregnant. A small smile was engraved on Daniel's face as he remembered. He wants to stroke and greet the fetus in the womb Lina. But suddenly Daniel's daydreams broke out instantly as Violet again vomited and this time Daniel did not have time to avoid.
"Geek!"
Violet's vomit that was only water filled Daniel's suit.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Daniel. I don't know why my stomach feels so nauseous. Hmp!"
Before Violet vomited again, Daniel unceasingly hit the back of Violet's head which made Violet faint instantly.
"Ups. I think it's better that he falls asleep for a while" Daniel fixes Violet's body on the car seat. "Stop the car" he ordered the driver.
The driver immediately pulled the car to the left side of the road. Daniel got out of the car, took off his suit and threw it away. He pulled out his phone and called someone.
"I'll be there soon, young man."
Daniel broke the phone. He turned to his personal driver who was still sitting in the driver's seat. "You just take her home. Jony's gonna pick me up."
"Good young master."
The chauffeur plugged in the gas leaving Daniel. The black car stopped in front of Daniel. Without further ado Daniel just opened the door and got into the car. Jony drove his car among other vehicles on the road. Jony didn't ask Daniel anything. He only glanced at Daniel who was contacting someone.
"Jon, go to the location that Qazi has sent."
"Good."
...⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜...
Arriving home, Lina was still downcast. His meeting with Daniel did not produce the results he hoped to add to the misunderstanding between them. What else is Lina's newly recovered memory still muddled. He had no intention to arrange it and Mala wanted to throw it away. He needs rest to calm his mind and heart. Until at the door of Lina's room turned to face Samuel who had just followed her.
"Thank you for today" Lina said without seeing Samuel's face.
"Are you still sad about what happened tonight?"
"I don't want to remember it anymore."
"You know. It was my first meeting with aunt Ariana's daughter. He's very similar to you. You're like identical twins."
"That's how I became Daniel's mistress!" cut Lina with tears. "I look so much like his wife."
"Eh... Actually that's not what I wanted to say. Yes, you may be twins..."
"No way! If we were twins, Daniel's reaction wouldn't have been like that! And do you know this when your aunt Ariana actually has twins?"
"No," Samuel replied, nodding slowly.
"Sometimes Daniel may have mistaken me for his wife and until this accident!" Lina put her hand on her stomach. "No! I don't want to remember any of that! Let everything be forgotten forever! Hix... Hix... Hua.ah....."
Lina was crying so much that she was putting all the burden on her mind. Samuel felt sorry to see Lina who was so sad. His heart must be broken at this moment. The figure that Samuel had always seen as a cheerful woman was now weeping bitterly. Lina is indeed a strong woman and sometimes childish, but still she is a fragile woman if exposed to the hurt feelings in her heart.
