“Did he know about what happened to us yesterday?” Bryana asked, staring at Dean’s cell phone which showed Raymond’s contact number kept calling.

“I forgot to call him because last night we just rested and slept,” Dean replied then said, “just answer the call.”

Bryana immediately answered the call, “hello.”

“Finally you answered my call, Jill. How are you?” Raymond asked over the phone sounding worried.

“I’m fine,” Bryana replied sadly because Raymond was the only family she had.

“I’ve heard everything from Dany and Louis. Sorry because as a brother I can’t take care of you until something like this happens again. I’ve decided to move back to Jakarta and live near you because you are the only sister, the only family I have.”

Bryana was silent feeling so touched and missed her family togetherness in the past, missed her father and mother who had passed away. She didn’t feel the tears coming back.

“Don’t cry, Jill,” cried Raymond who might have heard Bryana’s cry. .”Isn’t there a Dean who always looks after you and makes you happy? You have to be patient because after this not only he will take care of you, but I will also always be there for you as your brother and also Monica who always cares for you … we will be together like before again.”

“Yes, thank you,” said Bryana, still crying.

“Monica and I are leaving this afternoon.”

“Yes. Be careful.”

“Take care of yourself and don’t be sad anymore.”

“Yes.”

The phone line was cut off. Bryana breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Dean. .she rested her chin on her husband’s shoulder. “Raymond decided to move here,” she said.

“That’s good. Because that’s the way it should be. As a family, you have to be close,” Dean said.

“Do you think he will forgive Alex?” Bryan asked.

“He will surely forgive…if not, I will try to persuade him because the enmity and resentment must end to create a sense of peace in all of our hearts,” explained Dean with full maturity, forgetting all the pain and sadness he had felt so far because he was also a person who was always in trouble deal with Alex’s actions.

“But Alex is the person he hates the most. I’m not sure I can forgive all his mistakes.”

“Let it be. The most important thing is that Alex is not in prison and can take good care of his child. Find him a good mother like you..it’s better than Elsa who only thinks about treasure,” said Dean then looked at Aidyn who looked sluggish. “We should meet Alex now, then go home. My son must have wanted to drink milk.”

“Okay, I’ll meet him,” Bryana said, moving away from Dean’s shoulder. She took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, trying to contain the anger that might arise when she saw Alex’s face. Gosh, she looks like she’s just going to test his guts…

At another place …

Elsa feels bored at home while on normal days she often wanders around when there is no shooting schedule. She glanced at Haikal who was playing with Anna in the living room while she was standing near the stairs upstairs. the woman glanced at the black wall clock with a white center that showed two o’clock in the afternoon. ‘Could Carlos be busy today? Since then he has not contacted me,’ she thought.

Instead of being curious, Elsa contacted Carlos and immediately connected. “Hello, Carlos.”

“Hello, honey …” Carlos greeted in a voice that sounded seductive.

“I thought you forgot about me because you haven’t contacted me since,” Elsa muttered, leaning her elbow on the railing of the stairs.

“I’m very busy because I don’t have a trusted person anymore who can replace my job. You know that right? Previously that position was filled by Alex and now he is sick. It turns out that he has resigned from this company since yesterday,” explained Carlos sounding tired.

“Hem, that means you won’t have much time left for me?”

“No. I’ll still have time for you. I’ll be over to your house tonight. And starting tonight, you can stay in the apartment I gave you yesterday…there Alex won’t be able to bother you or take Haikal.”

Elsa smiled. “I think I’ll be staying there after my divorce is over. I don’t want any gossip.”

“Elsa. Whatever people say, don’t listen..you choose me it is your right because you want to be happy. I even want to marry you immediately, don’t mind the paparazzi or the gossip that will happen to you, because I will hire a lot of bodyguards to protect your privacy.”

Elsa is increasingly flattered and feels very loved.

“And you don’t have to work as a model anymore. I’ll give everything for you.” Carlos still gave the lure of luxury and wealth.

“Yeah fine. I know and I believe you did everything for me. I’ll see you tonight,” Elsa said with a smile because her heart was blooming. She no longer remembers Alex, who is still legally her husband.

Bryana looked at Alex who was silent full of regret. they became awkward and reluctant to talk to each other until finally, Dean spoke up.

“You don’t have to turn yourself into the police to account for what you’ve done all this time, Alex. live freely because you still have Haikal who needs you,” said Dean with a flat look.

“No, I still have to go to jail because I’ve gone too far!” said Alex.

“If you are imprisoned, it means your son will be raised by the stepfather Carlos. Isn’t Elsa going to marry him?” Dean asked.

“I don’t know… I don’t know what else to do. My life is never right.”

Bryana took a deep breath then exhaled slowly, until she said, “stay free and take Haikal from his brainless mother… I have forgiven you, even though it feels so hard. Thank you yesterday for being a hero to me and my husband.”

Alex looked at Bryana wistfully. “You forgive me? Of all the bad things I did?”

“Yes. But forgetting and letting go of the pain will be very difficult maybe even impossible… I’m doing this because I care about your son’s future…I don’t want Haikal or Calvin to be ashamed of having a bad father and ex-convict. Then stay free and improve yourself, show that you can be a good father.” Bryana said firmly, without looking at Alex. Her gaze on Aidyn who seemed to be getting restless being carried by Dean.

“Thank you. I won’t repeat stupid things in my life again. I will make good use of the opportunity you gave me…you are a good woman, Bryana,” Alex said sadly then turned to look at Dean. “And I can’t deny that you are the best man. You guys are so compatible and perfect as a couple.”

“Hope you can find a new love..and don’t judge a woman by physicality or status alone. Make sure that woman can be a good mother to Haikal,” said Dean.

“Yes, that’s true. A simple woman, won’t be greedy like Elsa,” Bryana said and then approached Dean. “Let’s go home. I want to rest.”

Dean nodded and understood that Bryana couldn’t stay close to Alex for long because her heart was still upset. He immediately said goodbye and then invited his wife and baby to go home immediately.
