Wyne and Ricardo arrived at the ER terrace, then they sat on the iron chairs on the right side of the terrace. Then, Ricardo took out two food boxes, opened the lids, and showed them to Wyne.
"Ma'am-" he reprimanded Kate's granddaughter.
"Kang-" Wyne quickly stopped, "You can call me, Wina." She asked Ricardo to call her Wina, "I'm Wina David." She introduced her pseudonym.
This man already knew because he had read Wyne's identity when he borrowed Matt's ID card to register Bella as a new patient at GE Hospital.
"Okay, Wina." Ricardo understood that Wyne was uncomfortable being called ma'am. "Just call me Duda, not Kang Duda, okay?" He asked Wyne to just call him Duda. "I am Duda Satria." His full name was mentioned. "32 years old." For some reason, he told her his age. "A traveling chicken sempol seller." He added his job.
Wyne smiled slightly, then, "I'm only 27 years old, Kang Duda." She then said her age. "Just a housewife."
"Still young." Ricardo smiled amusedly because Wyne also mentioned her age and job, "Ah-!" he remembered the mission of sitting on the terrace, "You can choose which side dishes you want to eat with." Two lunch boxes containing Padang rice rames were shown again. "This one has rendang, omelet, perkedel, and boiled cassava vegetables." The side dishes in one box were explained, "This one has grilled chicken, balado egg, perkedel, and cassava leaf vegetables."
Wyne smiled again, not expecting Ricardo to try to satisfy his appetite. Was this man a chicken sempol seller?
"I choose this one." She took a box containing side dishes with grilled chicken, "I like Padang grilled chicken." She added explaining.
"Okay-" Ricardo smiled, "The other one is for me." He chuckled as he pointed to the box in his hand, "I like rendang."
"If you like rendang, why did you offer it to me earlier?"
"Because I want you to eat whatever you like."
Wyne smiled when she heard this, it turned out that Ricardo was a straight-to-the-point person, not overly pretentious like most chicken sempol sellers.
"Thank you, Kang Duda."
"Just call me Duda-" Ricardo chuckled again, "So, I stay young." He joked, trying to cheer Wyne up because he could see that the sparkle in Bella's beautiful eyes was very sad. Even her face was a little puffy from crying.
"Okay, Duda." Wyne agreed to the man's request, "Let's start eating." The CEO invited her to eat. She prayed for a moment in her heart, then slowly ate, "Duda, thank you for being willing to help Bella." She thanked him for the umpteenth time.
"Don't be shy," Ricardo smiled while chewing his food, "You and Bella were treated badly by your husband, I'm sorry, it moved me to help you." He said explaining why he helped Wyne and Bella, "I couldn't bear to see you at that time who didn't even cry out for your husband's pity, only your tears were flowing."
Wyne remembered the incident, stopped eating, and took a deep breath.
"Before he dumped us," she said softly, "He said I begged for his love, and out of pity he returned my love." She said, "So when we get dumped, I won't beg for his pity. I don't want him to insult me even more in front of Bella."
Ricardo listened to Wyne's story, and his heart ached. A woman as beautiful as Wyne who had a soft and polite heart, why was she hurt by her husband? Wyne didn't say she wasn't married to Arifin.
"I'm sorry, Duda-" Wyne realized she had brought up her problem with Ricardo, "I shouldn't have told you about it." She apologized.
"It's okay for you to tell me." Ricardo slightly touched Wyne's hand that was on Bella's mother's right thigh, "Because I've seen a small part of your problem and I'm sorry, I want to know what happened. At least, I can help ease your sadness, so that Bella doesn't suffer from the impact of your and your husband's problems."
Wyne listened to all this and just smiled faintly, "Thank you, Duda." She said thank you.
"It's okay, Wina-" the CEO understood because he saw Wyne and Bella being pushed out of the house by Arifin, "Come on, you eat again," Wyne asked him to continue eating.
Wyne nodded, returning the food to his mouth.
"Wina-" the CEO opened the conversation again, "Excuse me, what are your plans?" Wyne was asked, "I saw your husband cheating on you with another woman. Are you suing him for divorce?"
"He has divorced me, Duda."
"I see." The CEO understood, "No wonder he shouted that he didn't want you to meet again at that time."
Wyne smiled bitterly, "It's my fate, Duda. It was wrong to love him." Clear crystals began to flow from her eyes. She quickly placed the lunch box on the surface of the chair next to her, then wiped the tears that wet her face.
Ricardo took a deep breath, put the lunch box aside, and then gently leaned Wyne's head against his chest.
"Cry-" He asked Wyne crying, "Let it out with tears, then after that hold your head up and show that you can live without him."
For some reason, Wyne cried on Ricardo's strong chest without a sound. Venting the tightness of her heart that she couldn't express when she was with Bella.
The CEO sighed softly, patting Wyne's arm gently, giving the woman a sense of comfort and security.
***
Wyne and Ricardo looked relieved that Doctor Ezzi allowed Bella to go home because the X-ray results said there was nothing dangerous for the child. Bella just needed to rest and take vitamins.
"Honey-" Wyne reprimanded Bella who had woken up and was being carried by Ricardo, "Come on, let's go home." She stretched out both hands to her child.
"Uncle Arif's house, Mami?" Bella looked at her mother, "Bella doesn't want to! Uncle Arif is mean to Mami!" shook his head, didn't want to go back to the house.
"We're not going back there, honey." Wyne smiled, "We're going back to Gemmi's house, Mami's grandma's."
Bella was surprised to hear this, "Gemmi?" because since she was born, her mother never mentioned she had a grandmother.
"Yes." Wyne nodded, "Wait, Mami will order an online taxi." She lowered both hands, then rummaged through the bag placed on the buffet, about to take out her other cell phone. The other one had been slammed by Susan.
"Wina!" Ricardo quickly grabbed Wyne's hand, "I'll take you to your grandmother's house." He said as Wyne stared at him in surprise.
"No need, Duda." Wyne shook his head, "I've already caused you enough trouble."
"Don't be shy, Wina." Ricardo held Wyne's hand a little, then turned to Bella, "Bella-" the girl greeted him who for some reason had become attached to him, "I'll take you guys home, okay?"
"Yes, Papi." Bella nodded her head.
Tuing, Wyne, and Ricardo were shocked because Bella said the word Papi.
"Papi, my child?" Wyne asked Bella.
Bella pointed at Ricardo, "This is Bella's dad." She said, explaining that the CEO was her dad.
"Hais!" Wyne was surprised, "Bella, this is not yours-" her sentence was cut off because Ricardo's hand held hers again. The man observed her in surprise.
"Yes, dear-" Ricardo spoke sincerely to Bella, "Yes, Bella's daddy." He pointed to himself, confirming what Bella had said to Wyne.
Bella nodded her head, making Ricardo smile and kiss the child's forehead.
"Ugh!" the CEO exclaimed, "Papi's daughter is so adorable." He chuckled as he fell even more in love with Bella, "Come on, let's go home."
Wyne sighed, just realizing that Bella missed her father figure. Arifin never gave it to Bella, only busy studying. Bella cried, Arifin was angry with her. Now Ricardo, who was a nobody, gave sincere attention, making the child feel that there was a father who loved her, so she called the man Papi.
"Sorry, Duda." She felt bad for Ricardo, "Bella just calls you Papi."
Ricardo smiled amusedly, "It's no problem for me, Wina." He didn't mind, "Bella is comfortable with me, so Bella calls me Papi. That's a beautiful appreciation from Bella." he said sincerely. "Ah, never mind!" Wyne ended his guilt, "Come on, I'll take you both home."

Ricardo looked at the sturdy steel gate in front of them now. He followed Wyne and Bella out of the taxi when they arrived at Kate's house. In the man's arms was Bella. The child clung to the CEO until she fell asleep soundly. When Wyne was about to take her, the child groaned.
'Is this her grandmother's house?' he asked his heart while glancing at Wyne who was on the phone, 'If so, then she's not just any woman.' He said, 'Hais, her husband is so stupid to dump her. She's an angel from heaven.' Arifin felt so stupid to dump Wyne.
Behind the taxi, parked the CEO's motorbike cart driven by Matt, then there was the man's jeep a little away from these two vehicles.
Why didn't Wyne access the intercom installed on the wall next to the fence? Wouldn't that connect him to Kate's security post?
She did not do that because she left his grandmother's house for 5 years, then now with Ricardo and he is known as Wina David. Then from his communication with Sahid, his assistant, the house guard was replaced, because some old people resigned for their own interests.
Automatically, the new guard did not recognize that she was Kate's only granddaughter. So she contacted Sahid, asking to be picked up at the gate at this time.
Not long after, the gate was opened from the inside, then a man of Ricardo's age came out. He was Sahid Esvanza, Wyne's assistant at Wilson Group and in everyday life. With Sahid was Dolce, Kate's granddaughter's nanny.
"Miss-!"
The next second, Dolce's voice was heard exclaiming when he saw Wyne.
"My God!" She couldn't believe that Wyne had finally returned to Kate's house, then hugged Kate's granddaughter, "Praise my God! Praise my God!" and gave thanks, "Miss is finally home! Praise my God!"
Wyne returned the nanny's hug, whispering, "Bibi, I came with someone else." Telling her that she was not alone, "Bibi must not reveal my true identity."
Dolce gasped, quickly breaking away from their hug, then looked to Wyne's side. There was Ricardo still carrying Bella.
Meanwhile, Sahid observed Ricardo. He felt strange as to why Wyne was with that man. Where was Arifin? He already knew Arifin. Not long after, he sighed softly, why ask where Arifin was, didn't he already know that the man dumped Wyne and Bella today?
