Radian was pensive at dinner with his family. Shanty and Monica could only quietly enjoy their potluck meal.
"Radian, I'm sorry Mommy ran out of money to buy vegetables, can you give me a little money for tomorrow's shopping?" shanty asked carefully afraid of making Radian grieve.
Radian raised his face that had been bowed since. The man remembered in his wallet only a few pieces of money ten thousands. For the sake of staying with his wife at the hotel overnight, the man had drained the contents in his wallet which was planned enough until the end of the month.
The man also calculated his expenses for the rest of the day to receive a salary until finally decided to save money by not eating lunch. To go to the office, usually Radian had to take two public transportation finally decided to walk in one of them.
Radian must wake up early so as not to arrive late at the office. This makes Shanty surprised because Radian had been willing to go to work when the sky was still dark. One and two days Shanty could only observe without daring to ask. At last, his mother dared to ask.
"Why are you always leaving early in the morning?" shanty finally couldn't stand his curiosity.
At first Radian was reluctant to answer but the man had no other choice. The man also hoped that his mother would be more understanding of the situation.
"I had to walk to Mommy's office for half my trip-"
"What's? Wh why? Is it because you want to save?" shanty asked in shock.
"Not wanted but should. I'm afraid my money won't be enough for the cost until the end of this month" Radian said.
Hearing that Shanty cried, in his difficult family situation, the mistress who had lived a luxurious life was still selfish. In order to retain her jewelry, she had to watch her son leave for work on foot.
Sleep faster to wake up early. Keep one piece of fried bread for lunch even if available. Otherwise the Radian is forced to endure hunger. It made the madam's heart melt until finally apologizing to her son.
"I'm sorry Mommy Radian. Tomorrow Mommy will sell the rest of Mommy's jewelry for your lady to the office. The end of the month is still quite long, Mommy is afraid that your body cannot withstand a heavy workload with insufficient nutrition. You have to walk that far? Forgive Mommy who can only ask for money without thinking about your circumstances" Shanty explained with tears flowing.
Monica just bowed, the girl herself also tried to save even though not so much suffering as Radian experienced. The money he made from working as a companion to the models was used for his own purposes. But working in a world full of sparkling it requires a lot of costs. If you want to be appreciated, Monica must look attractive. In addition, Monica aspires to be a famous model. His own appearance should not be too lame in comparison to the model that so followed.
"Actually I have met Leana" said Radian.
With a blank stare Radian finally recounted his encounter with Leana. Of course, this surprised both. In their hearts they immediately hoped Radian would make up with Livia. There was hope until they immediately imagined the life they had lived while with Leana.
"Then, what about your relationship? Are you guys gonna make up?" shanty asked curiously.
"He's good, he forgives me. She ... also wants me to go back to her-"
"really? Then ... does Brother agree?" monica asked directly, so curious that she wished the girl who had been bullied first as the savior of their lives.
Monica forgot what she had done to Livia. His cruelty to the girl at school or at home. Forgetting the girl's grief while being treated cruelly at school or at home.
As soon as things turn around, Monica forgets about her crimes and thinks their relationship is okay from the beginning. Assuming everything has passed and can easily be forgiven and forgotten by Livia.
So does Shanty, only remembering Leana who was good when she was his daughter-in-law. So obedient and respectful to her as her mother-in-law. Shanty even considers himself able to master Leana through his son who looks so loved by the woman.
In Shanty's eyes, anything Leana would do for the sake of their happiness with her son. Leana is in her grasp because of Leana's love for Radian. Until the half-century-plus woman forgot that Leana was actually Livia. Stepchildren are really in the threshing child.
Where should the luxurious life given by Livia's father make her love her daughter more than her husband. But the selfish nature that only attach importance to his own happiness to forget to share the love and affection of a mother to her child. Shanty is unaware of her presence as Mr. Robert Chandra is also expected to be Livia's mother.
"Why did I get out of that house? If I have to go back there?" radian asked the two people who suddenly sparkled while talking about Leana.
"But Radian's sister is still her husband, Radian's sister never divorced her, right? Why don't you hang out with her again?" ask Monica again.
"Do you sincerely want me back to her? Or is there a purpose behind it? You really want me to go back to him? Wh-wh-what for? So you can come back to live a good life above his suffering?" ask Radian.
"Living well above his suffering? What does Brother mean?" ask Monica.
Then switch to his mother. "Mommy! Did you ever think of him as a Mommy kid? Even though he called Madame Robert Chandra with Mommy's call, did he live life like Mommy's son? Nah! In Mommy's eyes she's just a maid. Never mind being spoiled, he gets punished more often. Don't think I don't know any of that. While we live on his father's property. We treat her like a maid. And what's even worse, is Mommy and you're Monica, can it be like Livia? Can you live and smile with the people you used to want to kill? Just because he didn't die then was your sin blotted out?" ask Radian.
This time Radian really wanted to discuss everything. So that his mother and sister were aware and did not expect Leana again. Although one day Radian will return to Leana, the man wants his mother and sister to expect them to gather not only because they want to live comfortably but because they really love his wife.
"Why don't you guys answer? Can your sins be forgiven just like that and we can live happily together like nothing ever happened? If I don't! I couldn't bear it because I was so sorry .. I regret not being able to protect her. He loves me, he wants me back to him. For the sake of her love for me she turned a blind eye to your cruelty but I was ashamed .. shameful for having such an evil mother and sister to her," Radian finally later passed into her room.
There the man wept, hoping that his two families would regret their actions sincerely not for any specific purpose. Shanty was stunned, Monica was unable to say anything more. They know Radian loves Leana very much. But in order to keep the woman he loves from them, Radian willingly not gather with his wife and child again.
Shanty, who almost canceled selling the rest of his jewelry, finally decided to sell his favorite jewelry again because there was no hope Radian would accept Leana's offer to return to his wife.
As in previous days, Radian had to sleep faster in order to wake up earlier. Going through the office routine with occasional Camelia trying to get close to him. But the man ignored him. Buying the man lunch or preparing coffee for him does not make Radian want to receive all forms of kindness from Camelia.
In the afternoon the man returned home on foot but this time Leana stood up to him. Standing on the sidewalk and standing right in front of the man who was walking daydreamingly while bowed.
"Leanna? What are you doing here?" tanya Radian was shocked and did not expect to be able to meet the wife he loved.
"Waiting for Brother, I miss you so much but I can't come there to see Brother. I was afraid, trapped by Mr. Ezra. So I'm waiting for Brother here. Now let's go home, sister," Leana asked.
"Where?" ask Radian.
"To our house of course," replied Leana.
"You mean, to your house?" tanya Radian who was replied with a nod by Leana.
"I can't, baby, right now I'm still not sure I can change the nature of my mother and sister. I don't want them to take advantage of your kindness" Radian explained.
"Didn't Brother miss Revano?" leana asked to switch the conversation.
Looking at Radian who was still quibbling to come to his house. Leana reminded the man of her son.
"Of course I miss-"
"Then come on, let's go home, even if it's just a little bit okay. I'll wait, until Big Brother is ready to decide to come back to us" Leana persuaded as she flanked Radian's arm.
That woman already knows enough what Radian's life is like. After learning Radian works at the family-owned company Ezra. Leana asks someone to observe Radian's life. Leana knew for sure the lives of the three people were so difficult.
Monica is forced to work like a model's lackey. Shanty is forced into debt to meet the needs of his kitchen. And of course Radian who was forced to live frugally to finance the lives of the three of them.
However, because of the relationship Radian and Camelia make Leana hurt. To let the three people live a difficult life. Leana almost closed the door sorry for the three and tried to open her heart to Ezra.
They meet at a dinner proposed by Ezra. In that instant, when he saw Radian coming with Camelia, Leana's heart was really angry, really hateful. But even on that night the truth was revealed. Radian did not love Camelia at all but still loved her.
Radian even confesses his long-time love for Livia. Leana's heart immediately melted, not expecting the man who looked indifferent to her all this time. Precisely save the affection and love for him even though his face was very ugly because it had been damaged.
Now Leana is happy, knowing the contents of Radian's heart that has been hidden all this time to her. So happy that he wants to meet Radian every day. But it was very difficult for him to find an excuse until Leana finally decided to wait for the man on the way home from the office. He invited her husband to go home.
"All right but just visiting, baby! I can't stay there" said Radian, who was approved by Leana.
Leana nodded, anything that can make a man can take longer with her will be agreed. And hope that the husband he loves soon decided to return to live with him.
The radians get into Leana's luxury car. They drove back to Leana's house. She was so happy she smiled along the way. The Radians occasionally chimed in on Leana's words and fell asleep for the rest of their journey.
