After that day, Damian visited the orphanage where Leo lived. Moreover, according to the results of the investigation of his confidants, it turns out that the child in Teresha's birth did not die.
It is likely that the teenager was indeed his son, as the boy said that Teresha lived alone in a neighboring country, while her parents were gone.
Damian approaches with the orphanage children, but he rarely speaks to Leo.
The young man seemed to have a closed nature to the person he just knew. Because of what Damian saw, Leo was so familiar and affectionate to his family in the orphanage.
Unyielding, every two days Damian comes to bring fruit hands to the residents of the orphanage. He will also take the time to play with children, and become a teacher teaching them schoolwork.
“Can I join here?”
Damian interrupts between Leo and his three younger siblings who are studying.
“Please, sir.” Leo permits. So far he has seen nothing suspicious of these adults.
Leo never paid close attention to Damian's face. He would only watch the movements of the adult man from a distance.
“What do you usually teach your sisters?” Damian pointed at the boys who were busy writing on the table.
“Yes, my sister taught me. But, after college sister, I replaced her.” Obviously Leo, who is still focused on reading the sheet about his sisters.
“Where is your brother now?” Despite knowing from Maria's mother, Damian made small talk in order to get closer to Leo.
“My brother got married, just two weeks ago. She lives in the city with her husband.”
‘Oh.. so you guys are still newlyweds?’
“Is your sister married to a single man?”
Damian's question made Leo squint his eyes.
“Meanour father?”
He glanced at his interlocutor. Then go back to reading the lines on the paper.
“Nothing, it's just that nowadays many girls are married to adult men, even to those who have been married.”
“My brother-in-law is already an adult, maybe my father's age. But he never married. She has never even dated.” Leo was tempted to explain. He doesn't like people saying bad things about his family.
“You sure?”
“Yakinu. Even the mother of my sister-in-law is a regular donor at this parlor. He helped my father and mother establish this place. Both of my parents know my sister-in-law's mother well.”
‘I'm your father son. Can't you feel it? Or are you not my son?’
Leo again helps his younger siblings to do the task, sometimes Damian interrupts the one he feels is wrong.
Even so, Leo did not want to familiarize himself. It was not like the first time he met Edward.
“How old are you, son?”
Damian asked again, when they had finished teaching the children his schoolwork.
“This year 16 years.”
“What month of your birth has passed?”
“Ya.. two months ago.”
‘The same birth month as my son.’
Leo tidied the table in front of him.
“You're so smart, it's rare that I find a teenager your age who still stays at home and helps his family.” Damian gave a compliment. He still continues to approach the young man. Once close, Damian plans to do DNA testing between the two of them.
Leo sighed. He sat down next to Damian.
“Sometimes that make me this way, sir. I lost my father at 5 years old. Where I didn't understand anything at the time. And three years ago, I lost my mother too. So I should be able to set a good example for my sisters.”
Leo said something soft. He thought back to his mother. He has absolutely no memories with his father, because he was only 5 years old. The memory is not yet clear on recording everything.
“Are you going to continue this home?”
“Sure. My sister got married and followed her husband. That way, I'm the one in charge of this parlour someday. This place is the pride of my parents, I will not leave it.”
Although Leo is only 16 years old, but he already has far-sighted thoughts. It made him an adult before his time.
“While anyone has offered you a better life?”
“Ya.”
“Then how do you finance the needs of this home?”
Leo thought for a moment. Then he answered that question.
“Someday I will work in one of my sister-in-law's offices. But I will never leave this place.”
Hearing Leo's words made Damian feel proud. The boy loved his family so much. What if the young man was really his son. He'll be lucky.
“Do you want to work in my company? I also have a business like your sister-in-law. Although not as big as it has.”
Leo's head shook. It's not interested.
“I just want to work at my family's place, sir. So that I can also take care of the parlors.” Refuse it subtly.
Damian won't force it now. Leo is 16 years old. The young man has not been proven to be his son. Maybe later if everything is clear, Damian will do a little coercion.
Meanwhile, Edward and Laura have just finished a work visit at a Hugo family-owned hotel in a neighboring country.
Edward directly introduced his wife to his hotel employees. Now Edward no longer needs to cover up Laura's whereabouts. That woman is already a young mistress Hugo.
“We have lunch where, baby?” Edward asked as he clasped his wife's hand and walked down the hotel corridor.
“What in this hotel there is a restaurant?”
“Sure. All the menus of our country are. You want?”
Laura nodded enthusiastically.
Edward also led his wife to a restaurant located in another building, but still one area with his hotel.
Entering the elevator, down the 20-story building, Edward takes his wife on a golf car, to reach the restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, a female waitress saluted the owner of the place.
He also saluted Laura, after hearing the news, if the boss came today with his wife.
The maid escorted the newlywed couple to one of the tables.
They also chose one of the local foods from their home country.
A few minutes wait, the food arrives. Edward and Laura ate peacefully.
After the lunch was over, they decided to go back into the room, to rest. Later that night we will take a walk near the hotel.
“Wait a minute here, I'm going to the cashier.”
Laura nodded. Although the hotel and restaurant were Edward's, the man made the payment. For the sake of smooth financial bookkeeping of his business.
Laura scanned the entire restaurant. Indeed the nuances of their home country are very thick felt in the place of eating it.
While being engrossed in seeing, suddenly his body hit something.
“Aduh.” He's jumped. The body came a little staggered.
“Sorry I didn't accidentally.” Said a woman who hit him. The woman was busy with a cell phone in her hand, so that she could not see anyone in plain sight.
“It's okay.” Laura replied smiling.
“It turns out we are from the same country.” The woman said after hearing Laura's reply.
Laura nodded her head. He examines his interlocutor who looks more mature than him.
“Sayang. Come.. I'm done.” Edward came from behind Laura, then embraced the wife's slender waist.
Degs..
‘Edward?’
The woman looked towards the man. His heart rumbled. How the man she had loved was in front of her now.
Teresha's.
Yes, the woman who bumped into Laura was Teresha, Edward's secret admirer since he was in school.
Despite almost 15 years in this country, the woman never stopped looking for the man of her dreams.
Every information about Edward on the internet he knew, therefore Teresha never forgot Edward's handsome face.
“It's done?” Laura asked reassuringly.
Edward nodded.
“Iya. Let's go to the room. I want a break.” Edward slightly attracted his wife, he did not even care about others who were near them.
“Alright, mbak. I'm sorry.” Laura said, even though they didn't know each other.
“Tu-wait. Can I know your name?”
Laura smiled, she then thrust out her hand.
“My name is Laura.”
“I Tere.” The woman returned Laura's hand.
“And you— ” Teresha fishing, thrusting a hand at Edward so that the man would get acquainted with him.
“Baby, I'm not comfortable. Come back.” The man whispered in the wife's ear.
“Sorry, he's my husband. Dia—.”
“Honey back now.”
Edward pulled the wife over before finishing his introduction.
