Secretary Dadakan
Flashback, After Grandpa None

The rain still accompanied his steps. The little girl clutched her body. A cold chill enveloped his every breath. The vibration of his body was already frozen he felt.

He walked with shaky steps, he had ignored his clothes that had been wet in the rain water continuously.

Tears are fused with raindrops. Several times the sound of car and motorcycle horns alternately. Not to mention the mockery of the rider because the beautiful and tiny girl continued to walk through the streets, regardless of the vehicle that almost hit her body.

It stopped at a luxurious house that was still crowded. The screams and mockings of the mother-in-law were ignored. He continued walking towards his room without greeting or answering any questions from the guests who were still present at the place.

Edward was worried about welcoming his wife. He seemed worried about the look of anger on his face, because the wife did not tell him his whereabouts. But he was dim when he saw his wife who was so very sad.

Ana sat with her mind out of nowhere, her gaze blank, Edward took a small towel and rubbed her beloved wife's hair slowly.

He knew his wife was hurt, and the pressure from her family was growing. My grandfather has always been on his side.

At this time Edward knew talking to the child would be free. He knew Ana would be very quiet if she got a disappointment. 

Edward slowly covered his wife's body with a towel. He walked to get his wife's change of clothes. Slowly unbuttoning for the sake of buttons strands of fashion attached to the petite body of his wife.

Ana was silent, but when Edward would open it. Ana held back the husband's hand. He shook his head. This is not the right time if her husband demands more.

He walked to the bathroom. She flushed her body under the shower. And soaking his body for a long time in the bathtub. 

The sound of the mother-in-law's cry broke the silence destroying the calmness. The cute girl jumped in her daydream. He immediately put on his towel.

Get into the dressing room and put on her clothes. 

A middle-aged, round-eyed lady had been standing right before him at this moment. There was not a single smile on his face. He stood up, shaking his waist, looking intently at the daughter-in-law he hated.

Ana was silent, her eyes still red. Resisting the tightness in his heart was left behind by a very meaningful person in his life.

"Hello, beloved daughter-in-law," he said cynically. Ana could already guess from her current tone of speech. "You know? This is the happiest day of my life!" he said by pushing the body of the woman who was not powerful.

"No one will defend you! You wait for my play date!" He said by playing Ana's wet and still messy hair. "I'll make you!" He emphasized his tone of speech. "Split with my beloved son!" again the middle-aged woman commented on the cynical smile.

"Do you know?" tanyanya back. "I'm the one who made my favorite in-laws have heart attacks! Haha, I'm great, right?!" Ana clenched her hands, she could barely keep up the emotions.

"Why did you do that, huh!" ana's tone was already unstoppable she almost shouted, "Are you not able to guess? You're too stupid, baby!" the middle-aged woman grabbed Ana's hair.

"You remember one thing! I will rule the entire fortune of Endelson! You are the only barrier for me! I'll get you out of Edward!" threaten her. "You, you will have no choice but to leave my son, you understand!" He pushed Ana's body.

Ana was still sitting tight, clutching her chest. He felt pain, he wanted to fight it. However, he recalled the words of an ustadz when he taught when he was a child. He said that parents are never wrong. That's what she used to hold, but not now that Ana has become Yuna.

After that incident, he was still sitting with his cry. However, the knock on the door in his room broke his reverie.

A pulabaya woman, who still looks beautiful, looks auspicious and smiles kindly. That call was so much that Ana missed it. I don't know when he last heard that voice.

"Son." Call him in a soft voice. "Are you okay, son?" tanyanya back. Ana stared at the heartily her mind and soul were still not fused.

"Dear." He rubbed Ana's hair that had not been combed. "Well, where's the most beautiful woman's hair?" ask him with a chuckle. 

The friendly woman took a comb, she combed her hair slowly and said, "Are you happy, son?" ask him to occasionally dye the tiny woman's hair.

"Darling? It's all coming back, so you've got to let it go!" I really wanted to tell you that he was not okay. That his heart was broken. Her mother-in-law's treatment always hurt her. But, he did not want to burden his mother.

Ana hugged her mother tightly. Warm and comfortable he felt. The mother's caress was able to calm her heart and soul. His embrace strengthened the little-faced woman.

"Buk." call him soft. "Dad, honey?" a smile was drawn from his lips. Ana breathed out a rough breath, she did not continue her words. "What's up, baby? Tell me!"

"No, it's okay, Buk." Ana forced her smile. "Then let's go down! Papah is waiting for you and Andra!" 

"really?" the look on his face turned cheerful as he picked up the name of his beloved sister who was cold as a snowflake. "Is little Arya coming?" tanyanya back. "No! She won't let me come."

Ana walked over with a smile that could not be separated from her lips. He held the mother's hand. Instantly he forgot the heartache of his in-laws' treatment.

"Andra!" He hugged his beloved sister. He no longer cared about the stares of those around him. Her mother-in-law stared intently at Ana for a moment, she shrieked.

"How are you, Dek?" ask her with a smile that adheres beautifully to her tiny lips. Only the smile that Andra gave to the brother for the answer to the question of the brother.

Ana is still with her happiness. Meeting his family is rare.

The pats of the mother-in-law covered the smile floating on the happy face of the Ana family.

"Well, whoa! A bunch of sycophants have been happy about my in-laws' departure! You're happy aren't you? Now you can take control of the entire estate of the Endelson family! You sneaky!" 

"Whatchu mean? Who do you call cunning, huh?!" Anger has taken control of Ana's mother. However, her husband tried to calm her down.

"Mama!" Edward feels no acceptance for his mother's treatment of Ana and her family.

"Why? Do you want to be Edward's bastard son!" his jolt. "Please, don't make a fuss" she asked softly.

Edward loved Ana very much, but he was also a submissive and obedient son to his mother.

That's what Ana was worried about when her grandfather died. No one else can defend him. There was no longer a place to take shelter and complain at that time.
