Since Lora's meeting with the Director of her company, she no longer gets scorn. Moreover, he has now been appointed as the adoptive son of the Director's family.
It was a reply to the Granny's gratitude to Lora. The Grandmother loved Lora very much, like her own granddaughter. Seeing Lora, he remembered his late granddaughter who had died in an accident.
Lora's life is now assured. He also does not worry anymore about monthly fees or childbirth in the future. In addition to getting a salary, he also gets alimony as a foster child.
Actually, Lora wants to be carried by her adoptive family to the foster family home. However, Lora rejected the snobbery of her grandmother and foster parents. He said he was more comfortable staying at his best friend's house. Not forgetting, Lora said her apologies and regrets. Because he could not accept an offer from his adoptive family.
The adoptive Papa, Mattew Louis. Not wanting to make things difficult for her daughter. So did the adoptive mother and Grandma. Because their dear rassa is so big, almost every week Mama and Grandma come to visit. And every day I contact him. Even if you only ask for news.
Six months just passed. Slowly but surely, Lora's life changes. Many people care and care about him. Loving her loved her more than anything.

Magdalena and Rosella, Lora's grandmother and foster mother come to visit Hannah's house. The two of them along with Lora had just come from the hospital. Check out the Lora candungaan. That day, Hannah couldn't come. He had to come to the coffee shop early because there was a shipment coming. Hannah is also unable to accompany Lora to the hospital.
"Grandma, Mama. Thank you very much. It has taken time to accompany Lora." said Lora with a widening smile.
"Together, darling. Mama's happy to be with you." replied Rosella.
Magdalene rubbed Lora's pretty face. He gently kissed his grandson's forehead.
"No need to thank me, baby. Anything for you. Don't you, Rose?" magdalene asked, looking at her daughter-in-law sitting beside her.
"Yes, Ma." replied Rosella smiling beautifully.
Rosella's cell phone rings. She gets a call from Mattew, her husband.
"Ah, wait a minute. Mattew called" Rosella said, shortly after picking up her phone from inside the bag.
She immediately received a call from her husband. Rosella knew very well, if her husband must be worried and anxious about the state of his adopted daughter.
"Yes, baby." answered Rosella.
"Darling, where are you? Where are our mama and daughter?" ask Mattew.
"We just got out of the hospital. We were at Hannah's house. What was? is our Director unemployed, huh?" goda Rosella's. After answering her husband's question.
"Yes, I just finished a meeting. Oh, ja. Want to have lunch together? we take Hannah out to eat with us, too." Mattew bargained.
Rosella was silent. He looked away at his mother-in-law and adopted daughter. Rosella also submitted Mattew's proposal for lunch together.
"Mom, Lora. Want to have lunch together? Mr. our beloved director wants to treat me." said Rosella who then laughed a little.
Magdalene nodded her head, "Good idea. Come on baby, you have to eat a lot to keep my great-grandchildren healthy" Magdalena told Lora in a soft tone of voice.
Lora smiled, "Yes, Grandma." replied Lora agreed.
Lora widens smile. Really, he felt happy and calm. His life now feels peaceful. Although Magdalena, Mattew and Rosella were only foster families, they were all very good to Lora and Hannah.
Rosella continued her conversation with Mattew. Not long after, the conversation was over.

Lora, Hannah and Lora's foster family have lunch together. Magdalena placed the dish containing the dessert that Lora liked in front of Lora on the table.
"Eat this. It's lemon cake. You love lemons." said Magdalena.
"Hm, actually less like, Grandma. But since I was pregnant I loved it. Not only like, but really like. Everything that smells of lemon. Be it food, drink, fruit or fragrance. I like it." Lora explained excitedly.
"Oh, could it be because you're pregnant, son?" asked Maattew who was sitting right next to Lora.
Lora smiled, "Yes, it's possible, Pa. There are many things that I did not like or did not like before. After pregnancy, I liked it. How else. I can't stop it." Lora explained.
"Are you guys okay, too, Pa, Ma? may Papa and Mama always be healthy and well." - Lora.
Lora was sad to remember both her parents. He misses Papa and his birth mother. However, he was also sad when Papa and his mother kicked him out just for reasons of family honor because he had not returned home and slept with other men besides his fiancee.
Since then, more precisely since Lora left home and decided to live abroad. He has not touched his family at all. My mom and dad never even asked me how it was. It was as if they really wanted to cut off the relationship with Lora.
Mattew sees Lora daydreaming. He rubbed Lora's head gently and invited Lora to go around with him.
"Darling, want to go with Papa? we can go for a walk to see the bookstore and the dessert shop not far from here." Mattew bargained.
Mattew knows, if her adopted daughter is thinking something heavy. Lora looked away at Grandma and Mama. The two beautiful women nodded in agreement.
"Go for a walk" said Magdalene.
"Be careful, dear. Our daughter is pregnant" Rosella warned.
"Yes, I know. I will definitely look after my grandchildren very well." replied Mattew.
"Grandma, Mama, Hannah. I go first, yes." said Lora.
"Yes, honey. Careful, yes." replied Rosella.
"Don't take it too far, Mattew" Magdalena warned.
"Yes, Ma. Take it easy." answered Mattew.
"Be careful, Lora, Uncle" Hannah said.
Lora left the dining table. He and Mattew walked together to the main door of the restaurant. Both want to go for a walk around the restaurant where they eat.
A few minutes drive, after leaving the restaurant. Mattew asks what Lora thinks.
"Lora .." call Mattew.
Lora looked away at Mattew, "Yes, Pa." she replied.
"You don't want to tell Papa?" ask Mattew.
Lora turned her face back. He looked around while thinking.
"Hm, there's nothing, Pa." replied Lora.
"No, Son. You're not okay. Papa knows, there's something you're thinking. What was? can't Papa know what you're thinking?" ask Mattew.
Lora took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He also admitted what made him think hard.
"I miss both my parents. However, after I think about it again, it seems like they really want to cut ties with me. I don't know, Pa. I'm confused too. Why did the thought suddenly appear." Lora replied explaining.
"It's okay, son. You don't have to think hard about it. There are times when a child misses his parents. Even if they've been unkind, they're still your parents. Aren't you trying to contact them? you still mad at them, son?" ask Mattew to know.
Lora slowed down her footsteps, "Half yes half no more. One side I miss very much, one side I am angry and disappointed." replied Lora.
Mattew stopped his footsteps, "Look Papa, Lora." Mattew asked.
Lora turned her gaze towards Mattew, then stopped her footsteps.
"It doesn't matter if you think about your parents. But you have to remember one thing. Here, there are Papa, Mama and Grandma who love you more than our own lives. So Papa, please, you want to share your burden with us. Don't feel like we're strangers. You understand what Papa means, don't you." Mattew explained.
Lora widens eyes. Instantly her tears flowed down her cheeks. He was deeply moved by Mattew's profound speech.
