"You're coming home the other night, Mas and you didn't tell me at all!" Said Riana Anggraeni Hermawan, a wife never recognized by her own husband, Steve Revano Lewis. Because they were married because of the will of the late wife Steve, who was a friend of Riana.

"I didn't ask you to wait for me, I told you you were just sleeping" Steve said.

"But I'm your wife, can't you tell me or appreciate me at all? I've been cooking food for you, I've also informed you earlier. Even I was waiting for you to come home to eat together," said Riana who looked so disappointed.

"Riana, I just got home from work. I'm so tired and want to rest, can't you see what time it is? It's 22:00 WIB, do you think I still want to eat. I ate at the office, too, so it's better now that you just go to the room. Tonight I'm going to sleep with Alana" said Steve, who left his wife.

Riana was sitting limp in the dining room, still vividly remembered when 1 year ago Steve said kabul ijab in front of Devina who is his best friend and also Steve's wife in the last seconds of his life while in the hospital. Still ringing in his ears as Devina pleads to ask him to accept Steve and Alana, their son being a part of his life.

Yes Devina was the one who asked Steve and Riana to get married in front of his eyes until he breathed his last when the friend and her husband were officially married. Although the marriage they did was sudden and forced, but Riana tried to sincerely accept everything. Moreover, he also loved Alana like his own son because he also did not have children even though he was a widow.

At first Riana considered it natural if Steve could not accept it because he still kept remembering his late wife. He tried to be patient with Steve who was always cold to him, but in fact even though they were married for 1 year, Steve still never considered it there. Let alone to accept her to be a wife, to speak to her only as necessary. It is rare for Steve to touch his food or accept if Riana is to carry out her duties as a wife. Steve was always giving a living born, but he never gave his inner living as a husband, so that makes Riana really feel tormented living the household together with him.

The next day, after what happened Riana must have forgotten about it very easily. She prepared breakfast as before for her husband and children who will be on the move. Alana and Steve walked up to her in the dining room. Before making breakfast earlier, Riana had already prepared all the needs of Alana.

"Dear, Morning Mas, you are ready," said Riana gave her best smile in the morning.

"Yes morning" replied Steve with a flat face.

"For Ma, what did you make breakfast for today?" Ask Alana. The 6-year-old boy already considers Riana as his own biological mother, even when his biological mother was alive. Alana's sweet attitude to him is what causes Riana until now still survive in the house.

"Make your favorite fried rice and Papa, let's have breakfast now," Riana asked.

"I have a morning meeting, so I don't have time for breakfast at home. You and Alana have breakfast, and then ask the driver who drove Alana to school" Steve said.

"Papa .. So Papa doesn't take me to school anymore. Why is Papa always busy, when does Papa have time to take me? I envy the friends who have always been escorted to school by Papa and Mama" protested Alana who felt disappointed towards her father.

"Darling, you don't like that dong. Papa hope Alana understands yes, this Papa is working to make money for Alana. Later if Papa is not busy, Papa promises to take Alana to school," said Steve trying to give understanding to his son.

"Mas, this early in the morning you have a meeting. It's also not the first time you've given an excuse like this just for avoiding breakfast with me. You don't feel sorry for Alana, once in a while Mas you take the time to take Alana to school. Alana really wants her papa to drive her," said Riana who felt sorry for Alana.

"I told you I had a morning meeting with Riana. Why don't you understand?" Tukas Steve was suddenly emotional.

"Mama, Papa, you guys don't fight. I'm fine, I go with the driver. But Papa promised yes, later if Papa has time Papa should take me to school," said Alana who is very smart, did not want to see her parents fight.

"Alana alone can understand," hardik Steve. "Dear, Papa promised" he smiled at the child.

"Dear, don't be sad. What if Mama took the driver to take Alana to school," said Riana.

"Hore .. Yes Ma, I would. Thank you Ma," said Alana, then kissed her stepmother's cheek very gently, making Riana so happy.

"Mommy? Mommy why is she here?" Riana asked who was quite surprised to see her mother-in-law at Alana's school. Though if asked to pick up his grandson, Laras always just looking for an excuse.

"Why indeed? This mommy's oma, it's wrong if Mami picks up Mami's own granddaughter," said Laras with a ketus.

In addition to Steve who does not recognize Riana as his wife, his mother-in-law also does not like his daughter-in-law at all. Even then Laras openly opposed when Steve was going to marry Riana, until in the end he was forced to agree because it was the last request of his favorite son-in-law before turning a blind eye. But after that, Laras was always indifferent to Riana, her innate emotions were always the case when talking to her new daughter-in-law.

"It's not wrong at all. But why didn't Mami tell me at all, so I didn't know and I came here to pick up Alana Mi, too" Riana said.

"Soliciting permission from you? It doesn't seem important at all. Mami has asked permission to Steve's own mother's son, so according to Mami no longer need permission with you," said Laras who stared cynically.

"But if this happens to clash Mi," said Riana.

"It's Riana, why are you so bothered. Did you forget that Alana wasn't your son. After all Mami came here only to pick up Mami's own granddaughter, but why do you seem to dislike her," said Laras began to look emotional.

"It's not like that I mean Mi-"

"Oma .. Mama … "

Suddenly, Alana's voice called out, making Riana's speech stop and the two of them turned to Alana and spread their hands to welcome the adorable little boy.

Who was chosen by Alana first to return the embrace? While Laras and Riana are both sure if they are the ones who will definitely be the winner.
