Yudha's cell phone has been ringing since earlier. However, Yudha deliberately did not lift the flat object in front of his mother. When he was outside, he immediately saw who was behind the voice call.

"Nessa! Gosh! I forgot not to tell her that I was in Mom's room," he said alone.

For a moment Yudha turned to Elisa who looked pathetic. "Remember! Never complain about anything against Mother. And if Nessa asks you something please don't refuse. You have to do whatever she wants. You understand?"

"You mean I'll be Nessa's maid, then?" Elisa exclaimed with perfectly rounded eyes.

"Yes."

"Yudha! I am willing to marry you not to be a slave! Especially by your mistress!"

"I don't need your refusal or pointless babbling, Elisa!"

Elisa still couldn't believe young master Sahil's way of thinking. Many rules are presented to him. Elisa wanted to claw at that handsome face, but Nessa had already arrived while bursting into Yudha's chest. Worse yet, Yudha also returned the hug affectionately.

It was as if there was no Elisa figure around them. A blood-red transparent kimono and a perfume of blossom scent wafted through Elisa's senses of smell. He was disgusted, he didn't feel his heartache when Yudha landed a warmth on Nessa's neck gap.

"Honey, where have you been? I called but you didn't pick up! Heh! You're flirting with my fiancé!" Sarkis Nessa while pushing Elisa's slim body.

He groaned softly as he stumbled backward.

"Fiancé?"

"Yes! You don't know that Yudha and I have been engaged for a long time?"

"Is that right, Jude?" Nessa repeated.

"Yep right. Nessa, you don't need to worry. This marriage is just a play, a loveless marriage. I will never love this woman, ok. You don't need to be afraid. Come on let's go to my room, I miss your game."

It felt like the universe was unfair to Elisa. He had just lost his father, Mas Galung, and his happiness was suddenly snatched away. A few tears fell to accompany the early morning, there was a tightness in the chest that hit the recesses of Elisa's heart. Elisa should have been indifferent to it all. However, he also did not know why jealousy hit him.

"I can't just stay silent! I have to walk according to what is currently there. Letting go of Mas Galung is a must, and ... maintain this marriage by making Yudha love me," he said.

"Elissa!"

Elisa froze, her eardrums picked up a familiar, quivering voice. Even though it was the first time he had heard Mrs. Ratih's voice, he could confirm that there was his mother-in-law behind him.

Elisa thought for a moment, did you hear the conversation between me, Nessa, and Yudha? Good grief! Mother's heart could be troubled again if she knew this. Oh my God, what should I do now?

"Elissa!" he cried again.

"Elisa, please mother."

Elisa quickly turned towards the source of the voice.

"Yes, ma'am. Is there anything Elisa can help with?"

"I want to teach you how to write beautiful poems. I hear you're a novelist?"

"Come on, come here quickly. Why are you standing there?" said Mrs. Ratih again.

Elisa was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief Mrs. Ratih did not hear the three pathetic conversations. It didn't take long for Elisa to walk over to Mrs. Ratih, who seemed to have difficulty walking. The old man stumbled while carrying a pole that was perched on the IV line.

"What were you doing there, El?"

"Just have a look, ma'am," he lied.

"Then where is Yudha, why are you alone. And that... you finished crying?"

"No, Mom. This is not a trail of tears. Elisa is so sleepy that Elisa's eyes are sore."

Mrs. Ratih tried to confirm the words of the daughter-in-law. Seeing Mrs. Ratih's condition, finally made Elisa lead her to go back to bed.

Time went on, Mrs. Ratih had fallen asleep a few moments ago after reading a line of poetry. With pain, Elisa studied the old figure. Mrs. Ratih is a successful entrepreneur who is predicted to have up to seven generations of wealth. However, unfortunately, he has no other children besides Yudhana.

Mrs. Ratih's husband had already returned to God's presence ten years ago. Elisa thought for a moment, what if the mother finds out about this marriage which will never unite me and Yudha.

Elisa almost closed, now his position is sitting next to Mrs. Ratih. Even though he had thought about Yudhana and Nessa earlier, he immediately brushed it off. His mind was already quite tired today. Elisha needs to rest for a while.

"El, Elisa!"

"Elissa!" Bu Ratih shouted suddenly woke up and sat down. Elisa was also surprised by what was happening.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Elisa," said Mrs. Ratih. The woman seemed to shed tears with both hands that continued to echo Elisa's fingers.

"Yes, ma'am. What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"

"I dreamed that you left Mother, El. And Yudha, he was with another woman."

"El, promise not to leave Mother, son. After Yudha's late father left, Mother was always lonely. Mother did not have friends to just chat with, while Yudha was always busy with work. Only on Sundays Yudha meet Mother, it was no more than one day. hours. Elisa, I asked you to be Yudha's wife because my little heart was so sure that you were a good woman." She whispered with tears that made Elisa's chest ache.

'Even Mother already has signed. I'm sorry Elisa, ma'am. Elisa couldn't promise. Hah! How dare Yudha!' Elisa thought.

"Mom, it's just a flower bed. Let's sleep again, Elisa will accompany Mother."

***

He had been staying at Sahil's residence for two days. At first, Elisa didn't mind obeying Nessa's orders. He thought Nessa was not always in the house. Ah, wrong. It turns out that Nessa has lived under the same roof with Yudha for three years, who is now Elisa's husband.

"Hello, who?" Elisa said hoarsely, last night she just cried when Mas Galung said that he was going to study in Seoul, South Korea.

"Quickly deliver breakfast to my room, okay! It doesn't take long. You understand?"

"Nessa?"

"It's good that you know my voice."

The phone line was cut off, with a heavy heart Elisa also brought breakfast for Nessa. While walking towards the room there, Elisa crossed to Yudha's room. It so happened that Yudha's bed was in the same direction as the room where Nessa was. The woman seems to be very curious about where her husband slept last night.

The room was still tightly closed, Elisa took the time to put her ear to the gap in the door. Silence, maybe Yudhana is still closed. That's what Elisha thought.

"You are undisciplined!" he grumbled as he walked again.

***

Knock... knock...

The door was wide open, Elisa's eyes were immediately greeted by a painful sight. The figure of Nessa walked up to Elisa wearing only a mini kimono. As well as Yudha who was still fast asleep closed on the bed there.

"No need to be surprised like that, Elisa. Your marriage is just an arranged marriage. Later when Mrs. Ratih dies, Yudha will divorce you. Come here for breakfast, thank you."

The tray in Elisa's hand has now changed places. However, Elisa still stood helplessly at the sight in front of her. When Elisa decided to leave, suddenly Nessa called her name.

"Elisa wait!"

"Here, please take it to the laundry!"

"Even though you are Yudha's lover, I have more rights over Yudha and this family, Nessa! I am his legal wife, I can report you who do not have any power to the authorities!"

Quickly, Elisa immediately threw the clothes to scatter on the floor. However, when Elisa's footsteps were about to move away she felt that she was stepping on something.

"Contraception?" he said.

"Gosh! it's ours, maybe last night Yudha forgot to throw it away!"

Deg...

'Our contraceptives? so you mean Nessa and Yudha?'
