Johan's wedding is over. Guests have also returned to their homes.
For the newlywed couple, they rushed to Hugo's hotel, to stay for two days.
Edward offers Johan and Monica a honeymoon. The newlyweds refused. They know, work in the office is currently a lot.
In addition, they also feel bad. It has been given a prize of billions of dollars by Edward.
“You sure you don't want to go on your honeymoon?” Edward asked again, when only their family was left in the wedding hall.
“Iya, boss. What is the honeymoon for? If at home can still be done.” Johan chuckled.
Monica reflex pinches her husband's waist.
“Aw, pain dear.”
“Pak Edward, thank you for giving such a huge gift to my children.” Gunawan opened his voice. From then on the middle-aged man was only a spectator, no chance to talk to Edward who was also his superior.
“I feel bad, sir Edward was so kind to them. Hopefully later in the day, they don't disappoint Mr. Edward.”
“No problem, Mr. Gunawan. I sincerely gave that gift to Johan and Monic. All this time, they have helped me a lot. Especially Johan. 8 years he's been with me, many things we've been through together. I think, the gift of the house is still lacking, considering what Johan has been doing for me.”
The atmosphere became haru. In order to no longer have tears, Mrs Hugo also took the initiative to disperse.
“Ah, I'm so tired. How about we rest now.” The middle-aged woman glanced at the expensive watch circling her wrist. And the time has shown at 5 p.m.
“Ah, yes. You're right, madam. Let's rest now.” Call madam Gunawan.
They also walked towards the door. Then we headed to the lobby, and split up there.
The newlywed couple had entered the car that had been decorated with roses. Followed by the Gunawan family car.
“Mama where to go?” Laura asked the in-laws.
“Subject Felisha only.”
“Grandma, I want to stay at papa's new house. I want to sleep with papa and mami.” Devano gave an answer.
“Dev, tomorrow you go to school.” Felisha feels bad, if the son bullies Edward and Laura. They are still newlyweds.
“A day off is okay, Fel. Anyway, we've never slept three.” Edward made a decision.
“But, Ed—,”
“It's okay, mbak. Sometimes we also have a holiday, no problem.” Whisper Laura to Felisha.
“Good. Let's go to papa's new house and mami.”
They also entered a different car. Mrs Hugo with Felisha. While Devano goes with his papa and his mom.

In another place, in an orphanage. The situation has not changed. Leo likes to be alone. He would only speak while teaching his younger siblings schoolwork, after which he returned to being quiet.
A week has passed, Damian did not appear in front of Leo. But the man continued to monitor the state of the son.
During this week, Damian is coming, but not going into the orphanage.
However, today the adult man could not stem any longer the longing that had filled the recesses of his heart.
He rushed down from the car he parked outside the gate of the orphanage.
While trying to cross the road, Damian's bead eyes accidentally saw a woman who had just come out of a taxi.
“Teresha?” Damian felt like he recognized the woman. He rushed over, then blocked the woman's wrist.
Teresha jerks. He wants to be angry. But his eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw the face of the person who blocked his hand.
“Damian?” He murmured, but could still be heard by the man.
“You still remember me?” Damian's eyebrows shot up, and his lips cut.
“Let go of my hand, Dam.”
Damian clucked. He also pulled the woman's hand, took her away from the front of the parlour, lest the people of the parlour see, let alone Leo.
“Detach, Dam.” Damian also hit Teresha's hand, after they were behind Damian's car parked not far from the home.
“What are you doing in this place, Te?”
“Not your business.”
“It's my business, if it concerns my son.”
“What do you mean?” Teresha pretended not to understand.
“Do not pretend, Teresha. I already know. We even did a DNA test.”
Teresha flinched, her eyes round hearing Damian's words. His head was shaking too.
Damian turned the corner of his lips.
“Even Edward, Laura and my son know.”
“Where do you know my son is here?”
“Destiny. God wants me to know the truth. And God also brought me to him.”
Chief Teresha shook her head again. How did Damian meet their son first?
“But because it was you—,” Damian pointed at Teresha's face. “My son won't talk to me, because of you.”
“I've never even met him. How can you accuse me?”
“Yes, it's because you threw it away first. If only you had given him to me. I wouldn't mind taking care of him. You are free wherever you go.”
The man cut his own hair. As an outlet of his anger. If this interlocutor were a man, Damian would have punched him right now.
“No. He hates you because of your own actions. Not because of me. You deserve to be hated, for imposing your will on a woman who does not love you.” Teresha turned to point at Damian.
“Yes, I admit, I was wrong. I even apologized and took responsibility for you. If you don't want to be with me, at least don't throw my son away. He knows nothing.”
“I didn't throw it away. I'm just protecting her so you don't find her. Even during this time, I became an overseas donor for this home.”
“Omong empty—.” Damian had not finished speaking, someone had interrupted him.
“Enough! Don't make a fuss here.”
Damian jolted he knew exactly who the owner of the voice was. He made the man look towards the source of the voice.
“Nak? Since when are you here?” Ask Leo, who is behind them.
“Since when it doesn't matter. But please don't make a fuss here.”
Leo was about to buy something to a mini market near the orphanage, accidentally saw Damian and a woman, so he heard them mention about the child. Therefore, the teenager approached.
“Leo?” Teresha muttered. The woman approached, about to touch the teenager's arm.
Leo however avoided.
“Sorry, who are you?” Ask the teenager.
“A-I, I'm your mama, son.”
Leo thunts.
“Mama?” The young man's head shook his head. “Sorry, I don't have a mom. I only have a mother. And that too is dead.”
Teresha. He grabbed Leo's shoulder.
“I'm your mama, son. I gave birth to you.”
“But you too have thrown me away. Yes, right?”
Degs…
Teresha could only remain silent.
“Why are you silent? Can't answer?”
“Leo, listen to me first—,” Leo raised his hand, before Damian finished speaking.
“You two please go. Never come to this orphanage again.”
“No, son. Don't say it.”
“Sir Damian, instead I've said, if I don't want to meet you first?”
Damian nodded.
“Then from that, go. Or you will never meet me again.”
“But, nak—,”
“Te, follow what Leo said. Don't let us lose him.”
And Teresha nodded. They both left, leaving Leo. And unknowingly, Teresha hitchhiked in Damian's car.
“You two are the same. Selfish! I hate you guys!”
