Damian asked Maria's mother for permission today to take Leo to the hospital for a DNA test.
Maria's mother felt she had no right not to allow it, because Leo himself wanted to do the genetic test.
At exactly 9am, Damian's car was parked neatly in the orphanage yard. He is impatient. If he could, he wanted the test results out today as well.
Waiting for almost 20 minutes, Leo finally came to Damian who was talking to Maria's mother.
“Bu, I say goodbye first, come with Damian.” Leo grabbed the hand of the woman who now replaced the mother in the parlour.
“Be careful, yes. Mother prayer everything went well.”
Without in command, Damian and Leo compactly say the word “Amiin.” It made the two men of different ages look at each other for a moment.
“We'll excuse you first, Bu.” Damian also said goodbye to Maria's mother.
Damian and Leo, walking hand in hand in the courtyard of the parlour to the black sedan brought by Damian.
The man opened the door for Leo, in the front seat to the left of the wheel, and the teenager simply complied. Meanwhile, Damian sat to his right, holding the steering wheel.
It did not escape from the observation of Bagas, he had given a report to the Boss. But Edward did not respond.
Mr. Toto opened the gate so that the iron carriage could come out freely. Damian honked twice as a sign of gratitude.
Not far in front of the parlor, Teresha was sculpting. See the incident in the courtyard of the parlor. He knew exactly who the man who was carrying the black sedan was.
The man he hated so much, because that man Teresha lost Edward. Yeah, Teresha hates Damian so much. The man who had ruined his future, even though the man was willing to take responsibility, hatred remained ingrained in the 35-year-old woman.
In addition to seeing Damian, the other thing that makes Teresha jerk is a teenage boy who is with Damian. The young man looks very mirib with her ex-husband. Making Teresha wonder, could it be their son?
During this time, Teresha was a donor to the orphanage, but she never once entered the place. Not even finding out about her son.
“What is it you, son?” Mumbled wailing.
But a moment later he woke up. If that's really her son and Damian, then Damian knows about their son?
“No-no, this should not be allowed. It's about time I got into this place.”
Teresha took a deep breath, then she steadied herself stepping into the orphanage.
“Sorry there's something I can help you with, madam?” Bagas politely blocked the steps of the adult woman. He also memorized Teresha's face. So he was quite wary of the arrival of the woman.
Before serving in the home. Johan has provided Bagas with two photos of the faces of people he needs to be aware of his arrival. And Bagas had memorized both faces.
“I want to meet the caretaker, all this time I've been a donor. But I live outside. Just this time there is a chance to visit this place.” Teresha explained at length.
Bagas. He also escorted his guests to the room where ordinary guests were received.
Along the way, Teresha observes the surroundings. A large, shady yard. Very suitable for children.
“Please, mistress.” Bagas opened the door, and there was Mary's mother.
“Bu, this mistress said one of the donors of the orphanage.” He said as Maria's mother turned to him.
With a frown, Mary's mother approached the guest. And let it sit. Bagas excuse me to get a drink for their guests.
“Sorry, have we met before?” Maria's mother felt alien to the face of the woman who claimed to be her successor's donor. During this time, he memorized the faces of people who became supporters of the cost of living for his children.
“Previous, introduce, my name is Teresha Hadi. All this time I lived outside, so I became a donor by transferring money every month to this home account.” Teresha explained, she also showed evidence of the transfer from her account to the home account.
Mother Maria felt overwhelmed. He thanked Teresha.
Teresha observed the room. His sense of vision was fixed on the frames displayed beautifully in every corner, and the walls of the room.
“What is the owner of the parlor and his daughter, Bu?” Teresha refers to a photo of Laura and her mother.
“Ah Yes. That's Laura and Angelina.”
“Then the young man?” Teresha pointed to a photo of Laura with a young man.
“Then that, Laura and her sister Leo. She is only 16 years old.”
Deg. Teresha immediately remembered Laura's speech the other day in the cafe toilet. He approached the frame, then grabbed and observed the young man's face.
‘He who went with Damian earlier. So he's really my son?’
Not long after, Bagas returned with two cups of tea. Actually Bagas was already standing in front of the room. He stalked for a moment, to be made a report material to the superior.

“Dev, don't be angry. Mama will take you to the parlor today.” Felisha tries to persuade Devano who is sulking.
The 8-year-old boy had just finished making a video call with his father and mother.
The two adults who promised to meet him on the weekend, today can not come again. He said they would accompany Johan to take care of the wedding preparations. In addition, the couple, who can still be said to be the newlyweds, have not yet moved out of their beds.
“Papa and mami slackers once. It's 9 o'clock, but they just woke up.” Gerrutu Devano's. He was banging on the edge of the sofa.
Felisha who heard the words of the son could only scratch his forehead which was not itchy at all. He was confused as to what to answer. His twin brother is too much. Make a video call still under the covers.
“Already. Don't think about your lazy papa, let's get ready. Mama will accompany you to the orphanage.”
Now, Felisha has re-occupied the room she used to occupy with her late husband. There was no more fear in the heart of the woman, because Devano accompanied her.
Almost half an hour ready, the mother and child returned down the stairs. On the first floor of the mansion, Devano's nanny had been waiting with a large cloth bag.
“That's what mbak?” Felisha asked her son's nanny, although their age was not far away, but Felisha used to call “mbak” so that Devano would also follow her.
“This is Devan's toy that's not in use anymore, madam. Yesterday Devan told me to pack it to the home.”
Felisha was moved to hear the nanny's words. He did not expect that the son had a social soul.
“Ya already, let's go to the parlor together.” They also walked to the main door.
“Mbak, later if mama comes home, say me and Devano go to the home yes.” Felisha told the house assistant who was cleaning the front room.
“Good, mistress.”
As usual, a driver was ready to accompany the journey of the mother and child.
After driving for 20 minutes, the white alphard car they were riding in, arrived in front of the parlour.
Mr. Toto swiftly opened the gate. And the car entered the courtyard.
All three passengers had been standing in the courtyard of the parlour, with one person among them carrying a cloth bag containing many toys.
Bagas approached, although he was assigned to watch over Damian and Teresha, he also had to look professional by questioning every guest who came.
“Gas, he is a family of sir Edward.” Before the sturdy man asked, Mr. Toto first explained.
Bagas. He also let his guests through.
“Who is he, sir?” Felisha asked as she walked towards the guest roar.
“Security officers, Mom. Mr. Edward who hires, he said lately there are often crimes, sir Edward is afraid something happens here.”
Felisha just nodded, she did not feel any suspicion, because it was the habit of her twin brother to give protection to those closest to her.
Arriving in front of the living room, Felisha's steps were riveted. His gaze collided with the person who had just walked out from inside the living room with Maria's mother.
“Mama, come. I want to meet friends.” Devano tugged at the blazer worn by his mother.
“Mbak, please take Devan to meet his friends.”
The nanny also complied. He led his master's children to the place where the children played.
“Felisha?”
“Teresha?”
Say the two women at the same time. And they came closer to each other.
“You know each other?” Mother Mary stared alternately at the two women younger than her.
“I-iya, Mom. We used to be friends during school.” Felisha answered a little. He knew who the woman in front of him was. People who used to send gifts to her brother, not even Teresha often entrusted to her.
“How are you, Fel?”
“I'm good. You how are you Te?”
“I'm good too. Didn't expect to see you here. Are you also a donor of this home?”
Felisha. Only his head shook slightly.
“She is the sister-in-law of the orphanage's son. His mother was a regular donor of the orphanage.” Mary's mother replied.
Teresha pretended to be surprised. Although he already knew, if Edward married the son of the owner of the house.
“Wah, this is a coincidence huh. So Edward is married?”
“Ya.”
“I guess she won't marry.”
“Why not? All this time Edward just hasn't found the right partner, and Laura is the type of woman he's been looking for.”
Felisha let out a slow breath.
“Every human being is destined to have their own soul mate. If it is not a match, no matter how strong we pursue it, surely we will not get.”
Felisha's words seemed to be insinuating Teresha. It made the woman grow angry.
