Chapter 8

When Lisa arrives at Fandy's house, she knocks on his door. Coincidentally opening the door was his wife named Linda, she greeted Lisa gently.

"Sir, is Fandy home?" lisa asked looking at Linda with her cynical gaze.

"It just so happens that Mas Fandy hasn't come home yet, let's go in first Ma'am," Linda said softly.

Lisa followed Linda into her house, she sat in the living room that had been provided. Linda makes drinks and food for Lisa, which happens to be hungry.

"Mbak, who is this? why look for Mas Fandy?" ask Linda politely.

"I'm Fandy's ex-wife" Lisa replied.

Linda is sad because Fandy never told me he had a wife, so far Fandy has been hiding a big secret. Linda shed tears, she was very surprised by Lisa's arrival.

"When did you get married? why doesn't Mas Fandy ever tell?" linda asked, wondering about her husband's past.

"Seventeen years ago we were married, we also had a daughter named Dania High School" Lisa explained deliberately clarifying because she wanted to destroy their household.

Linda couldn't hold back her tears, she cried and fainted. Lisa is confused about what to do, lucky that Linda's housekeeper helped her.

"Think about it! just faint," Lisa said in her heart.

"Why can you faint, Mother? what's going on?" ask Linda's housekeeper while helping Lisa lift her employer's body and put her to bed on the sofa.

"Hurry up and get the oil or something! don't ask too many questions" Lisa said as she spoke to people.

"Well, Ma'am," he said, then took eucalyptus oil and applied it to Linda's nose.

Linda finally came to her senses as well, her domestic assistant gave her water and helped Linda to wake up.

"Sir, I was a dream, right? why would Mas Fandy lie to me" he said.

"Prophe Mom, don't trust people easily! I don't know the truth yet" said her domestic assistant calming.

Lisa was silent she did not dare to say anymore, she was afraid that anything would happen to Linda. Lisa spoke without thinking about the consequences, not later if Fandy came and was angry with him.

Fandy finally came home from the office, he was shocked to see Lisa in his house. "Lisa! why are you here?" tanyakanya.

"I want to see Dania, where is she?" lisa asked back.

"Mas, you can lie to me! why don't you ever be honest" Lisa said in tears.

Fandy immediately hugged his wife and took her to the room, explained everything and apologized. Linda is still unmoved, her mind is still at war between believing and not. The husband who married her for fifteen years turned out to have a hidden past, Linda felt she had been lied to.

Their marriage was not given a child, so Fandy wanted to bring Dania and finance his life and even give a house.

"Where is your son with that woman, Mas? I wanted to meet," Linda said, beginning to ease her emotions.

"Purchase a house not far from here" replied Fandy honestly.

"What's? even you can hide that kid from me, what do you think of me, Mas? why heart," said Linda while hitting her husband's chest.

"Father, why bring Mamah here! Dania's shy, Pah," she said upon seeing Lisa.

"You miss you, son," Lisa said.

Dania brushed off Lisa's hand that was about to hug her, she hugged Linda instead. Linda happily returned Dania's embrace, recently she felt the embrace of a child even though she was not her biological child.

"Well, this is my mother" said Dania.

Fandy could only nod, actually pitying to see the neglected Lisa.

"Dania, why did you become like this! Mamah who has treated you from a baby up to this size, you do not admit." said Lisa lirih.

Fandy also advises Dania to admit that Lisa is her mother. Dania also said she was embarrassed by Lisa's appearance.

"Dania, you know Mamah gave birth to Dania but don't dress like that! Dania's ashamed of her friends, wear come to school again," said Dania.

Linda will take Lisa to the salon to change her appearance, she also invites to stay one house with Lisa and Dania. With Lisa glad to accept her offer, Fandy and Dania actually disagree.

So noble is Linda's heart, to be willing to sacrifice her heart for the sake of family integrity. Free also he was angry and asked for a divorce, because it only complicates his life let alone he was sentenced by doctors can not have offspring anymore.

Dania and Lisa are so happy to finally be able to live in a luxurious house again, they can also feel like they are rich again.

"Dania, can't Mom bring your Grandma here?" ask Lisa.

Dania thought for a moment she remembered the first often said illegitimate children and so on, making her hurt.

"No, Mah! do not visit or Mamah, Dania expelled," said Dania firmly.

Suddenly the boy becomes haughty, due to gaining the recognition of Fandy and Linda who are famous as rich. Lisa also has a desire to control the house, so that her mother can live together again.

"Well, Mamah's decision was wrong to ask them to stay in one house with us" Fandy said.

"The house is spacious, so it is not lonely anymore if Papah works. There are those who accompany Mamah at home," Linda said, changing the call for her husband who was Mas to Papah.

"Be careful with Lisa, don't be easily fooled by her words" Fandy told Linda.

The worry is in Fandy's heart, so he can't bear to leave Linda alone at home. As Lisa has often said, change, but still do the same thing.

"It's not good suudzon with people, Pah. we have to be prejudiced, even though the person intends to be evil with us," explained Linda somehow made of what her heart was to be willing to live one roof with the bad guy.

Fandy hugged his wife, and invited her to rest. Today Linda is very tired, having to swallow the bitter reality.

Fandy loved Linda very much, although he could not give children but Linda was a good wife for him. Linda is also very independent unlike Lisa who is under the control of her Mom, Fandy also never regretted ever being married to Lisa, because there is all her own wisdom.

As human beings we need to learn and realize that nothing is perfect in this world, making the past the most valuable lesson and teacher. Not dropping and blaming each other, especially as a married couple must be able to accept each other's shortcomings.
