Aunty Lalita seemed unable to take her eyes off the sheets of Hanna USG results. The happy look was so obvious on his face.
"You know, after 23 years. We will finally be able to hear the sound of a baby in the middle of our family. Thank you, Hanna." Said Aunt Lalita so sincere, also to answer the curiosity of Hanna. Because from earlier he continued to look at Aunt Lalita with a face full of question marks, why Aunt Lalita was so excited about Hanna's pregnancy.
"Aunty and Om were married young. But unfortunately, we are very difficult to have children. It took a long struggle and wait, until Rey finally came to the middle of our family. And after that, Aunt never got pregnant again." Aunty Lalita recalls the story of 23 years ago.
Hanna heard it carefully.
"But unfortunately, you have to have the grandchildren of a girl like me." Hanna looked down, she felt sorry. It shouldn't be from her womb that Rey has a child.
Aunt Lalita grabbed Hanna's hand, then held it gently. "There's nothing wrong with you. Aunt is so grateful, the girl Rey married is you!" Aunty Lalita encouraged Hanna.
Hanna raised her face. Looking at Aunt Lalita confused.
"There's no coincidence in this world, Hanna. Aunt and Om, strongly opposed to Rey and Myesa's marriage. But the girl was so stubborn and forced Rey to marry her. I don't know what she did until Rey was so fit to marry her. But in the end, it was he who was not present at the wedding. Then, suddenly Rey just chose you to be the bride of hundreds of people who were there at that time. Wh why? Because God planned it. And after Om and Aunty investigate, it turns out you're the girl who fits our best. You're an independent, tough girl who can face this world until it's finally at this point. Rey needs a woman like you by her side." Hanna, just hear it all.
"Rey, never felt any shortage since she was born. He had everything he wanted easily, he knew nothing but the luxury of life. And she'll learn a lot about life through you, Hanna. You don't have to change anything, you just have to be yourself. And help Rey face this cruel world. Teach him that every problem must be passed, not given up. Lead him through his problems in the future." Aunty Lalita continued expectantly.
Yes, sometimes we have to learn from people who already feel the bitterness of life. How painful and painful the world is. Such people have 1001 ways to stay afloat when problems keep pressing them to give up.
Hanna just found out, it turns out that Rey and Myesa's relationship was opposed by both parents. Hanna just realized, why Rey is very secretive about her closeness with Myesa now.
"But, Aunt. I'm not sure I can help Rey that far." Hanna finally.
Aunt Lalita smiled. "Go ahead, you can do it!" Aunt Lalita is back to encourage Hanna. I don't know why he was so sure Hanna could do it.

"And you're gonna do it?" Raffael. What answer Rey gave her father.
"I have no choice!" Rey replied while brushing her hair back violently.
Raffael, grin with growl. "Let me handle this project." Raffael said it looks like he has a plan to avenge Anthony.
"No! Or those people will have a reason to bring me down." Rey said, as if she could guess. What will those minorities do if Rey is unable to deal with the issue.
Raffael nodded his head. "Yes, you have a point." Raffael agrees with Rey.
"What about yesterday's report?" Rey asks about the report aimed at trapping her the other day before she leaves for Europe.
"I've dealt with it, but I haven't been able to find the brains of the problem. Looks like he's pretty good at hiding himself."
Rey breathed a rough sigh. For the first time, he had trouble at his job. Rey is pretty overwhelmed what else with no experience at all.
"Darling!"
Rey and Raffael. Turn toward the source of the sound.
"Okay, okay. I think I should leave this room." Said Raffael, moving from his seat. When suddenly Myesa came and entered Rey's work room. And his face looked unusual. Although Raffael does not know what happened between his best friend and the woman he thought was Rey's wife. But it seems, he should give space to both. That's what Raffael thinks.
"Please.." Raffael invites Myesa who is still standing in the doorway of Rey's study to come in and sit down. As for him, walk out of the room. Then, his gaze was fixed towards Hanna's workbench.

Hanna, who was in the car with Aunt Lalita, was immediately turned upside down when she received a phone call from Raffael.
Hanna immediately turned off the phone call, then quickly typed in a short message for Raffael. "Raf, sorry. I'm not free to talk right now." The content of the message.
"She must be crying right now." Raffael thought after reading a short message from Hanna.
"Call from who, Hanna?" Ask Aunt Lalita.
"Em, from my friend Auntie." Hanna answered a little nervously.
"Why not in Ankat?" Ask Aunt Lalita again.
"It's okay, I'll call you back later." Imbuh Hanna, while putting her phone back in her bag. After changing to silent mode. He also checked her short message for Rey earlier. But there's still no reply.
Hanna was curious as to what the current state of the office was after that incident.
*
"So you're really going to the office? Why not just rest at home?" Pinta Aunty Lalita as Hanna asks the driver to drive her to the office instead of returning home with Aunt Lalita.
"Yes Tan, after all, there is a lot of work to be done in the office." Hanna.
"Try getting used to calling, Mama." Said Aunt Lalita, making Hanna as if out of words. After a long time, never again said that word.
Hanna just smiled bitterly, then lowered her head.
"You got to get used to it, people are gonna think it's weird if you keep calling her, Auntie."
Hanna turned her head, her gaze implying something.
"Yes, Mama knows you want to keep your relationship with Rey a secret. But until when? When your child grows up, inevitably you have to publish your relationship out. It cannot be forever covered. After all, Mama was wondering why you guys still decided to keep it a secret." Said Aunt Lalita, full of question marks and inexhaustible with the mind path of Rey and Hanna.
"We have our own reasons..." Hanna said hanging. "Ma." Further.
The smile on Aunt Lalita's face instantly flashed."All right, just keep getting used to it." He patted Hanna's shoulder slowly.
"We've reached Madam." Imbuh the driver.
"Hanna first, Ma." Hanna said as she got out of the car.
"Emp, don't forget to take the medicine given by the doctor." Aunt Lalita reminded.
Hanna nodded while showing her best smile. After that, he rushed into the company.
