“Old in the car, I so want to eat chicken steak ...,” whispered after closing the bathroom door.
Gilda spent more than fifteen minutes in the bathroom. The young pregnant woman came out with a purple jumpsuit of short-sleeved floral motifs. Her hair look was still rolled up originally, until she stopped in front of the dressing table. Before arranging her hair and putting on a blush, Gilda grabbed the phone on the bed.
Seeing the name of his personal driver on the phone screen, Gilda impatiently read the contents. His eyes were wide open as he read two sentences from Antony. The first message tells her that she saw a man's shoe in the apartment, and the second saw a kiss on Carla's neck.
Gilda: If I could videotape or photograph her, it would be proof that my husband would stay away from her.
Anthony: I try, Madam.
Gilda's breath was irregular. I think he just did something stupid and crazy. Keeping Carla away from Edzhar was not her wish, she did not like this. There was a feeling of unbearability if he separated Edzhar, but on the other hand he also did not want his household to be troubled in the present or later.
Gilda's hand extended to her belly which was covered in jumpsuits. “But how else? I have a right to that. I want our children to have a complete family, without outside intruders. Although we were united by mistake, now I am the companion of Edzhar.”
He glimpsed his lamented stomach while smiling full of determination. “I won't let our marriage last for a year, Ed. I will fight for you, fight for this marriage, and fight for our family.” After that Gilda woke up and was about to make up herself.
He took the bag out of the suitcase. Put it out and put it on the table. Because it was late afternoon, Gilda finally only wore lip moisturizers and special ointments for her cheeks that were still bruised, almost faded. Her hair was tied high, leaving her tie neck exposed.
The phone on the dresser suddenly rang. Gilda's left hand, which was about to reach out, was startled by a knock from outside the room door. He quickly approached and opened it.
“Ya?”
“Excuse me, Mistress. Mr. Edzhar ordered me to drop off food for Mrs.”
“Oh, fine.” Gilda received the parcel from the middle-aged man and did not forget to thank him, before finally closing the door. “It turns out you remember me,” muttered Gilda smiled happily. He put the paper bag on the dresser again.
Before eating, take the time to check your phone. Gilda was quite astonished by what Antonius had sent her. “That mark is a lot, Carla ..” murmured before sliding another photo.
“Gosh! What if Ed saw this all ... he must have been devastated,” he said again before stroking his chest. “So, he's been playing behind Ed?” so far Gilda was completely shocked to learn of Carla's infamy.
Antonius was so good at taking pictures of Carla, even though they were taken from the side. Although some of the photos are blurred, there are still some that look very clear and Carla's face is also taken. Gilda who was still in shock was daydreaming, and the chicken steak on the table that he had just removed from the paper bag had not yet been touched.
“Do I have to threaten Carla with this photo?” ask yourself, still doubtful. Then his gaze fell on the chicken steak again, and muttered, “Why did Ed know that I wanted a chicken steak? Or is this a coincidence?” His hand rubbed his stomach with a smile on his lips clearly visible.
At Mateo's residence, a woman wearing a short dress was accompanied by two of the house's men. His arrival made the servants glare there, obviously shocked because Carla's appearance was so-so abnormal. The scar under his neck, and almost filling his chest was very clear.
“Cannot be the deeds of Mr. Edzhar,” Inner Mona who welcomed the arrival of guest Mateo at the main door. “Welcome Miss Carla, Mr. Mateo is already waiting for you in the living room,” Mona said politely. Carla passed him just like that, without returning her greeting which made Mona smile thinly.
“Lucky Mr. Edzhar, you did not marry that woman. Much better mistress Gilda,” Mona before turning back and continuing her work, began making dinner for Mateo and all his men.
Carla is welcome to sit in the gazebo with Mateo. There one of the newly arrived maids gave Carla a snack and a glass of apple juice, and special milk for the elderly man, his master. After the servant left and Luke and Antony were asked to leave, Mateo opened the conversation.
“I never asked you to stay away from my grandson, Edzhar. However, I just want to ask you to never once touch my other grandson, Gilda.” Carla who was originally staring at Mateo relaxed, now shriveled in confusion. “Once again you dare to raise your hand, I will make sure your career in the world of models is destroyed,” continued Mateo did not mess around.
“A-what do you mean, Sir? Gilda your granddaughter?”
“You don't need to know. I'm just asking you to stop hurting him. If I knew you were doing the same thing at the mall back then, I wouldn't hesitate to make your parents ashamed of having a child like you.” Carla clenched both her hands. “Look at your clothes, the sign that you just made love is clear,” said Mateo who made Carla pay attention to her clothes.
“Wire! Die me when Ed finds out I'm playing with Kendrick behind him, his inner” with clenched hands. Before leaving Mateo's mansion, he recalled the old man's words.
“Gilda's other granddaughter? That means she has a child besides papa Edzhar?” Carla almost ruffled her hair. In addition to thinking about the fate of his plan to marry Edzhar, he is dizzy about the origins of Gilda who turned out to be part of the Martinez family for a long time. “Then this is the case, I've already lost heavily before the war.”
Carla also booked a taxi online because she was self-aware enough not to ask Mateo's driver to drive her home. After sitting in the passenger seat, he alerted someone. Unwillingly he expressed despair.
Carla: I don't want to dirty my hands by getting rid of Gilda, your in-laws are threatening me.
After that, Carla's gaze was fixed on the building on the side of the road neatly arranged. He looked at the left window of the car. “Actually who's son? To the extent that Peyot's grandfather is so sorry for you,” blows Carla staring at the streets do not like, as well as very curious about the truth of the origin of Gilda.

Gilda who had just finished her chicken steak, glanced at the milk ice inside the paper bag. Drink chocolate milk until the rest of the cup. Long in the room, Gilda decided to go out with her phone. Suddenly, she really wants to ask Carla to stop continuing her relationship with her husband.
Gilda: Hi, Carla. Earlier I apologized for having to send you an indecent photo. Sorry, I have to say this. I was so sorry that night spent with Edzhar, and I accidentally conceived our baby.
I hope you will forgive me. Please stay away from Edzhar, because I want to keep our marriage forever. I'll show Edzhar that picture if you still want to take it from me.
Without lingering any longer, Gilda sent it to Carla along with a photo of Carla featuring a short dress with a low chest cut. Photographs of Antony showing kiss marks on the lower neck and around Carla's chest were sent as well. Within five minutes, Gilda received a message from Carla.
Carla: Take it from you? You should realize who took whose lover. Even so, I will try to let Edzhar go to you. It's just that I remind you, make sure your husband doesn't come after me. The fact is that Biantara Edzhar Martinez still loves Carla Florine.
Gilda's steps suddenly stopped after reading a reply from Carla. He felt again slapped by reality. Although he was married, Edzhar's heart was not his. His pair of eyes suddenly felt hot, followed by a tear that descended to the cheek.
“Nothing, I will fight for you.” Gilda smiled as she looked at her stomach. He also stroked his stomach before his gaze fell on the figure of the man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a waistline while staring at the wall. Next to him was a man who knew of his existence. “That's your papa there, do I have to go there to meet him and show you a photo of Carla?”
Not yet had Gilda swing her legs, their gazes met. Gilda who was misbehaved then hurriedly turned her body, it seemed like she was not ready to look at Edzhar after seeing the man's lips. Until finally his name was called by his husband and best friend.
“You need something?” edzhar asked who ran towards Gilda and patted her shoulder. “Your food is up? Or less still? Or would I like to order something?”
Gilda shook her head and placed her index finger on Edzhar's lips. Until he himself wavered when their gazes re-integrated. “Eh, no. I-I'm just bored in the room, Ed.” Gilda took one step back. “By the way why did you know that I wanted chicken steak? Is there a voice eavesdropper in our room?”
Edzhar pulled Gilda's waist down to get the woman closer. The bodies of the two actually collided as Edzhar embraced the wife's waist. “There is no voice eavesdropper, but you were the one who said that while sleeping in the car,” explained Edzhar before holding Gilda's chin and lifting her up.
Edzhar lowered her head, and was ready to kiss Gilda's flirtatious pink lips in her eyes. However, the sound of his own stomach just messed things up. Gilda hurriedly pushed Edzhar by holding back a laugh.
“Company me eat,” command Edzhar who is called Gilda.
The two also walk side by side to the dining room in the Martinez family inn. The location is not far from Edzhar standing with the man Gilda saw earlier. Suddenly, Gilda remembered the photo of Carla. “I want to ask you something, Ed.”
“What?”
“If later you knew Carla was cheating behind your back, would you forgive her?”
