Secret Denis
Twenty-seven

A large and luxurious house stands haughty in the middle of a neatly arranged garden. The large gate shows the high social level of the occupants of the house. Even an ordinary person would be very disinclined by just looking at that gate. There are guards who are always ready to wait in turns in the guard post on the right in the gate. The towering fence does not allow anyone to enter carelessly into the yard of the house that is wide enough.

A luxury sedan entered the courtyard of the house after its gate opened immediately before it reached the front of the gate. It seemed that the owner of the car was a resident of the mansion because the guards were very quick to open the gate.

The car stopped in front of a large pillar of the house. A beautiful woman got out of the car and walked gracefully towards the door of the house that opened instantly.

A female servant had already greeted him respectfully at the entrance.

"The lady's waiting for you in the master bedroom." The middle-aged woman who greeted him at the door bowed her body slightly. The newly arrived beautiful woman only nodded slightly and passed by the woman just like that.

Climbing the half-circular steps to the second floor of the magnificent house. Continuing his steps down the second floor, passing through several rooms with his door sealed shut. His footsteps stopped in front of the main room door. Knock on the door before his hand turns the handle and pushes the door leaf.

He entered without waiting for an answer from within.

A nurse was feeding an elderly woman who was lying down with her head propped up on an elevated pillow. The beautiful lady who had just entered stood a bit away from the bed. Wait until the nurse finished feeding the old woman and gave her a drink of water.

The nurse bowed her body and smiled at the beautiful woman who had been standing there since. He then walked out of the room carrying the equipment he used to take care of the old woman.

"Come here." The old woman nodded her head slowly, gesturing for the beautiful woman to come closer to her. Patting the bed next to him, told the woman to sit close to him.

"Mom how are you?" greet the beautiful woman when she is already in her comfortable position.

"As you can see. No better than before." the woman called the mother spoke softly.

"Don't think too much. I'm just focusing on mom's health."

"What about the search for Icha? Has there been any news yet?"

"That's.."

"You'd better not go see mom if you haven't found Icha yet."

"Mom.."

"You told me not to think too much. But you're the one who made me keep thinking about Icha."

The beautiful woman sighed softly. Her eyeballs were spinning slightly unnoticed by her mother.

"Why now do you really want to find Icha? Shouldn't I be happy because the child I hate is not here now?"

"Mother never hated Icha. I just don't like the way you get Icha. That arrogant guy too. Why are you still hanging on with that guy?"

"Mother please don't start.."

"You know you never liked that guy.."

"Mom never liked anything about me." The woman's voice began to growl. His eyes quivered withstanding the emotions that were beginning to affect him. "First my mother was against my relationship with Bhishma. Until I married her, she still didn't approve of us. Even when my son was born, my mother did not show any motherly liking. Now I'm married to the man you decided on. But it has not made my mother satisfied. What exactly does she want?"

Rania, the beautiful woman, held back all her might so as not to shout at her mother. Even though he really wanted to do it.

"At the end of my age, I want to apologize to Icha. I know, I've been unfair to her. Mother made him leave the house. Please find him for mom. I want to meet her." Aryanti, the old woman, sobbed on her bed. His old eyes shed tears of regret. He was really sad to remember everything that happened in the past.

Rania can only let her mother vent her grief. Very rarely does the woman show it to others, even to her own child. The woman was famous for being very strict and hard at educating her sons and daughters. All the words he spoke were commands that could no longer be denied. Everyone must obey him. Even her late husband is known as a husband who is afraid of his wife.

Aryanti wiped away the tears that were still flowing on her smooth-striped cheeks. Her sad eyes looked at her youngest daughter with a look full of regret and sadness.

"Promise Rania. You'll bring Icha back before I leave this world."

"Mom don't talk like that. Mother will live a long life and will meet with Icha. I'm sure it is."

"You don't comfort me. I know your age will not be long. I also want to see your father soon. I miss her so much."

"Mother.." Inevitably Rania was carried away by the flow of sadness of the mother. His eyes glazed over at the deep sadness his mother felt.

"Mom don't talk about anything. Our men will soon bring glad tidings to mother. Now I'd better rest."

Rania corrected her mother's position to make it more comfortable. She pulled a blanket over her mother's chest. His gaze gently looked at that old face. The face that he had once feared for his carelessness when it came to him. Right now, she knew, everything her mother did was indeed for her good. That's how his mother educated him and his brothers. And only he became the dissident. As for his three brothers, all obedient and obedient to every word of his mother. Although behind her back, she knew exactly, her brother sometimes did things that were actually forbidden by their mother. Very different from her. He always said whatever he felt. He will reject what he does not like frankly. That's what makes his mother often inflamed to him.

Her mother's anger grew when she came in contact with a man when she was in sophomore High School. His mother was strongly opposed to the relationship but she was increasingly challenged to fight her mother. He even committed forbidden acts with the man so that he became pregnant as a result of his actions.

His mother was very angry and kicked him out. But because of his father's defense at that time, so his mother agreed to marry him to the man.

Agreeing to marry your daughter does not mean giving it up. After giving birth to her daughter, Rania is forced to divorce from the man. He then had to follow his mother's will by continuing his studies abroad. For that matter, Rania no longer had the energy to go against her mother. He went out of the country according to the mother's word. She left her daughter with only being taken care of by a nanny.

He returned a few years later and was betrothed to a man of his mother's choice. She had to accept the marriage even though she did not know her future husband at all.

With a heavy heart he went through the marriage. The man was as proud as his mother. Both hard and firm. He often contradicted his mother and made the woman even more disliked his daughter-in-law. However what power, she had to swallow the bitter pill, because the man was the one she had handpicked for her daughter.

*****

Rania had just closed her mother's room door when her phone rang. He reached into his bag and picked up the flat object.

"Hallo."

"Looks like we have some good news for you mistress."

"Quick say."

"My men saw a man who looked like Miss Icha in the house of her former nanny."

Rania flabbergasted. Is Icha at her ex-nanny's house? He had already suspected that. Since the beginning of his daughter left the house, he had told his men to check her whereabouts there. But at that time the result was nil. His daughter wasn't there. In fact, he told someone to continue to monitor the house and always report to him if anything suspicious. For months and even nearly a year, there was no news of his daughter.

"Examine it clearly. Don't lose track." He said and then he hung up his phone. Rania was silent at the door of her mother's room. His heart was a little churned. However, Icha is still his daughter. The daughter he had been carrying for nine months. She gave birth to him with great struggle. Even since she became pregnant, she has struggled to keep the baby.

Her mother's anger at the time forced her to have an abortion. But his attitude that always opposes his mother, makes him stick with his stance to defend the fetus that is being contained. All her mother's oath at that time she ignored.

Rania rubbed her chest that was painful. He was not so close to the daughter he had born. She left him after giving birth to her daughter. Not desire. But again the coercion of his mother who continues to threaten him if he does not want to obey his mother's will. Her mother threatened to throw her daughter away if she did not want to continue her studies abroad. He finally agreed. On condition, her mother let her daughter be well cared for in their mansion.

But the disappointment must be felt when he returned to Indonesia and found his daughter was not in the big house. Her daughter was well cared for by a caregiver, but was in a separate home.

The years she was separated from her daughter made the princess not recognize her very much. Rania's own less warm nature makes her daughter more distant. One thing is certain, however, that her daughter inherited all of Rania's traits. Dissident and always forthright with whatever he wants. Too honest and do not like to be organized. For that matter, Rania could not do much.

But it became a weapon used by his mother to always corner him. He always compared his daughter to the other grandchildren of his mother. Makes Icha more isolated and more away from the big family. The unstable icha is getting out of control. He was in school uniform but rarely was he in the school environment. He hung out with people his grandmother disliked. People with a low social level in the eyes of their grandmother. He's familiar with street kids. He started to get acquainted with the motorcycle gang.

He repeatedly makes trouble that makes his grandmother ride apitam. And the peak is when Icha is arrested by the police along with his delinquent friends. Her grandmother was so angry. Fierce fights are inevitable. So the grandmother raised about the status of Icha which is the result of a child relationship outside marriage.

After the events of that day, Icha left the house. Aryanti who was still very angry at that time forbade anyone to look for Icha. He was sure that one day Icha would return home. But that day did not come until it had been a year since the girl's departure.

*****

Rania looked at the street she was walking through with a blank look. The car that carried him drove smoothly through the main streets of the capital. Occasionally a sigh comes out of his nostrils, releasing the load that holds him.

The phone calls from his daydream.

"Where?" Ask after seeing who called.

"I'm sorry, Madam. We're late. Miss Icha is gone from that house."

"Where'd he go?"

"From the information we got, Miss Icha came back to Jakarta."

Rania breathed out a little hard. Put the phone back in his bag after giving instructions to his men. There was a little smile on his face. His heart was beating a little fast. Imagine the face of his daughter he had been looking for.

The car that took him entered the courtyard of a tall, towering office building. He got down in front of the lobby and walked gracefully through the reception desk to the elevator door. The employees he passed by smiled amiably and nodded respectfully.

Rania entered a room that read President Director above the door. A handsome man raised his face to see who entered his room without excuse. He looked very serious about the files on his desk.

"Where are you from?" Asked the man while re-examining some important sheets.

"From mom's house." Rania threw her body on the sofa in front of her husband's desk.

"How is he doing?"

"Pretty good. But he looks desperate. I always regret what happened."

"He deserves it."

"Andres, she's my mother."

"He's been bad to you too."

"I knew. But we shouldn't retaliate with anything bad either."

"You seem to have changed.." Andres poked his lips. His eyes glanced at his wife.

"I feel sorry for Mom. I used to hate him. But seeing the situation now, I am so unbearable. He felt that his age was not long. He's very concerned."

Andres sighed. He put the file he was holding. He approached his wife and sat down next to Rania.

"You don't have to feel sad like that. Stay strong and stay strong. You can definitely get through this, like before." His fingers touched the soft son of hair that dangled his wife. Followed by a warm kiss of soul tranquilizer.

Rania blinked her eyes. Her husband's sweet treatment was enough to treat her current heartbreak.

"thank you. You always stood up for me in front of my mom. You always give me support. You're always there for me."

Andres sighed. His eyes still nailed on his wife's pretty face. At the age of forty years, the woman increasingly exudes her beauty. His increasingly mature attitude, making his inner beauty increasingly out. At the age of no longer young, Rania is still the center of attention of perfectionist male spies.

Andres was proud to be the owner of the beautiful woman. Although the beginning of their marriage had to go through things that they did not want. He is not a man who likes to play women. In fact he has no girlfriend until he is betrothed on behalf of a business to a woman the daughter of a well-known conglomerate.

There was no rejection from him. She accepted the match and went through the marriage by continuing to learn to accept the woman who already had a daughter from her previous marriage. Andres didn't bother about that. And so does his family. The important thing about marriage is the business benefits between the two parties.

After two years of marriage, they had a beautiful daughter. Their daughter's presence further tightened the bond of affection between them. Love just comes with it.

But his closeness to his wife does not necessarily make his relationship with the in-laws better. The arrogant attitude of her mother-in-law who was always arbitrary towards Rania forced her to always confront her mother-in-law. Not infrequently he and his mother-in-law had to throw each other fierce words even for trivial things.

And now, Rania seemed very sad to think about her mother's condition. Andres felt sorry to see his wife in such a state. It's not that he wasn't trying to help his wife who kept looking for her daughter. But their efforts have not succeeded. Because the person they're looking for, never wants to be found.
