“Sara .. why didn't I see your husband come here?” asked Zaid suddenly.
Getting such a question, it certainly seemed as if it made Sara freeze in place. Didn't think that Zaid would ask him personal questions. Whereas during this month, what they talk about is about business and work alone. Zaid never asked Sara about personal matters.
“As I recall .. when we both studied at the Coffee Lab, your husband always came to pick you up. She looks like a possessive type of husband, and sticks to you,”.
Of course Zaid did not insist on degrading Sara's husband. It was just that in her eyes, Sara had a possessive husband.
“Hmm, no need to ask,” Sara replied.
The woman smiled strangely, feeling clumsy. Sara could not give an honest answer to Zaid. Sara has a past she has to cover for now even until later.
Hearing the question from Zaid, it was as if Sara recalled the times where every afternoon Belva picked her up first at the Coffee Lab. Recall how Belva sprayed so many hand sanitizers on his palms, under the pretext that his hands were disinfected from germs.
Really, remembering all that alone made Sara's chest feel back tight. All the memories with Belva had been desperately he forgot, but now Zaid was back to ask the figure of the man named Belva Agastya.
As for Zaid himself, hearing Sara's evasive answer actually made the man increasingly want to know what Sara was hiding. What really happened to Sara. Why in the last two months, Sara actually looks alone.
"I'm fine, Zai," Sara replied in the end.
Sara did not want to share her story of the past with anyone including Zaid. Moreover rent a uterus is taboo for citizens +62. Her marriage was also a contract marriage. All of that seems to be taboo and Sara should hide it as best she can.
"It can't be okay, Sara. I know very well how possessive her husband is, and now seeing you alone I have become suspicious of you. What are you hiding Sara? Where's your baby?" ask Zaid.
When Sara wanted to hide everything, Zaid wanted to ask her everything. Yeah, that guy seemed to want to pry all the things about Sara.
"Tell me all Sara .. I'm sure something has gone wrong so far" Zaid continued.
Slowly Sara sighed. The man in front of him had already seen her pregnant and saw Belva who used to often pick her up after from the Coffee Lab.
"My marriage is over, Zaid," Sara said in the end.
Admitting with her own mouth and tongue that her marriage has ended is heartbreaking. However, it was a reality and could not be covered up anymore.
Zaid looked at Sara questioningly. How can a woman who used to be so guarded by her husband even now has to admit that her marriage is over. Husband who used to be diligent to pick her up even looks so possessive, it is now the two are both separated.
"That can't be Sara . I can see that your husband takes care of you. Your husband is possessive of Sara, it is impossible to let you go" Zaid replied.
Hearing Zaid's words, Sara smiled bitterly. "In reality, that's how it is. I'm just marrying him," Sara replied again.
Mutual marriage is often referred to as contract marriage. The relationship of men and women in one marriage bond within a certain period of time. According to the Shia school, a marriage is a marriage with a predetermined period of time, after which it will not take place again.
When Zaid heard Sara's statement, the man seemed to shake his head many times. Didn't think that Sara was a woman who was willing to be married in full.
"That's impossible, Sara ... tell me that it's all a lie" Zaid replied again.
"In fact it's all true, Zaid. I was married to him for a period of 12 months" Sara said this time.
"What about your baby?" zaid asked Sara a question.
"He was with my ex-husband. I married her in full order to give birth to the baby" Sara explained.
Although Sara did not explain that she was married just to rent a uterus. However, Zaid was able to capture that Sara's explanation direction led to renting a uterus.
"How can Sara?" ask Zaid as if he can't believe it.
"It could be Zaid, and in fact it was all that happened" Sara replied quickly.
As if so painfully, stifling the chest, but in reality it is. Sara sighed that felt heavy, now there are others who finally know that she is only a despicable woman, a woman who was willing to be married in full only to give birth to a baby for the man who contracted her for 12 months.

Meanwhile in Belva's House…
Belva who was holding Evan in her arms. Walk around and hope that his little baby will fall asleep quickly.
"Tumben until this hour you haven't slept Evan? Come on, bobok yuk. His son Papa quickly bobs up well," muttered Belva to his son.
Seeing Belva who was still trying to put Evan to sleep, Anin slowly approached her husband.
"Tumben well, Evan hasn't slept until this hour. Does she miss her mother?" anin asked her husband.
Slowly Belva looked at Evan's face, trying to guess with her own heart.
Do you really miss your mother, Evan?
Unfortunately until now Papa has not been able to find where your mother is.
Mother Sara always sends ASIP for you, but there is no exact address.
Where should you go, Van?
Patience, child .. someday you will be able to meet your Mother again.
Hopefully …
Yeah, I hope that time comes. Papa thinks you must be missing Mommy right now...
Patience well, forgive Papa who in fact still can not find where your mother is.
Now sleep Evan, Papa and Mama will always take care of you ....
Staring at the little face of the baby and while trying to put Evan to sleep was done Belva. The man looked claustrophobic looking at Evan who was far away from his biological mother. There may be an inner bond between Evan and Sara out there. So that makes Evan not immediately fall asleep.
Belva was still trying to hold her son and hoped that his son would fall asleep soon. Whatever's going on out there, Belva just wishes that Sara was in good health. From every pocket of ASIP that was sent Sara, Belva guessed that Sara was out there in good shape right now.
