Next morning.
As the night before, even this night Dea allowed Alfa to sleep with her on the luxurious bed. Although still not doing anything, at least the bolster that became their barrier, was eliminated.
Alfa lay on her side facing the girl.
"Thank you for giving me a second chance, Dea." Alfa smiled as she gently stroked Dea's cheek.
Dea smiled thinly. "Yes, Mas. As I thought, God alone can forgive the mistakes made by His people, my time as His people cannot forgive your mistakes to me."
After a while, they fell asleep.
Next day.
"Dea, whatever you want to do in this house, do it and don't feel sorry. What matters is not harming you and our baby. Remember that! No harm to you and our baby, okay?"
Before getting into his car, Alfa tried to remind Dea, because today he had to go back to work.
Dea nodded slowly with a smile. "Yes, okay. I'll remember that."
"OKs. I'm leaving first. Take good care of yourself, yes! If you need anything, you can tell the waiters or Mommy. And if you need me, just call my phone number" Alfa said, patting Dea on the shoulder.
Alfa turned around and prepared to step into the car whose door was wide open. However, before he lifted his foot into the object, Dea suddenly called out his name again.
"Mas Alfa," called Dea hesitantly.
"Yes?" Alfa turned back and looked at the girl.
"Your shirt collar is a mess. Can I help fix it?"
Alfa smiled widely. "Of course."
Alfa came back to Dea and now deftly the girl fixed her slightly messy shirt collar. While Dea focused on the shirt, Alfa was focused on looking at Dea's face with a smile.
"Here you go, my mom."
"Ehm, Dea?"
Dea nodded her head, looking up at Alfa. "Yes, Mom?"
"May I kiss your forehead before leaving?" asked Alfa without hesitation.
Dea smiled and her face looked red blushing withstanding embarrassment. He nodded slowly and agreed to Alfa's wishes.
"Byeah, Mas. Please," Dea replied timidly.
Of course Alfa was so happy to hear the answer from Dea just now. Slowly but surely, according to Alfa. At least his relationship with the girl didn't run in place.
Alfa placed both of her hands on Dea's shoulders. He kept his face close to the girl until he finally managed to put his warm kiss on the girl's forehead.
"Thank you, Dea."
Mrs Kharisma and Mr. Harry watched Alfa and Dea from a distance. And they were so happy to see the relationship of the child and his daughter-in-law who looked even warmer.
"Hopefully they will continue to grow old as we do, dear" said Mrs Kharisma, smiling at her husband, Mr. Harry.
"Yes, I hope so too."

Meanwhile somewhere else.
"Where are you going, Non? Isn't it still too early for a walk?" betty screeched as she saw Cecilia rush to the front yard, where her car was waiting.
Betty rushed to follow Cecilia's rapid pace and the soft-boned man looked overwhelmed.
"Non! Non not answering my questions, Non Cecil where are you going?"
"I want to see Mateo and tell her about my pregnancy" said Cecilia without stopping her quick steps.
"And hold that man accountable?" ask Betty later.
"Yes, why not! Isn't this due to his boredom?!" pissed Cecilia.
Betty could not speak anymore. He let out a heavy sigh while following Cecilia until now they arrived in front of the woman's courtyard.
"Don't be long, Non. Today we still have an unresolved job" said Betty who again tried to remind the woman.
"Yes" Cecilia replied briefly then got into the car and closed the door a little harshly.
"Road, Sir!" cecilia's word to her driver.
"Ready, Miss."
Betty could only shake her head slowly looking at Cecilia's attitude that was so harsh. He was silent in that place with a gaze that was still the focus of the car driven by his employer.
"May God open your eyes someday, Non-Cecil. To let you know who is sincere and who is just taking advantage of your stupidity" Betty murmured.
In Cecilia's car.
"Stupid!" curse Cecilia while hitting the seat she was sitting on quite hard.
Her face was flushed, a sign that Cecilia was really angry.
"Crazy! Where is this guy actually going? Why the number is still inactive. Maybe he changed the number?" muttered Cecilia again.
Cecilia did not give up until there. He kept trying to dial Mateo's phone number, again and again.
