SHE'S YOUR MOTHER, NOT MY WIFE.
MENACE

I decided to follow all the advice of Mas Gaga. I went with Miranda on vacation, left a mess there for Mas Gaga. Edward asks why he should take a vacation at school, but with a slightly lying answer he just keeps quiet. I know my son, an understanding boy. And I also know that he will not remain silent as long as his curiosity has not gone away.

It's been two days walking as long as I get to Miranda's place.

Mas Gaga always gave news of the development of defamation cases that Reza did to us.

Mama and Papa Abraham went home many times. I was confused to believe that they were not involved or not. Then why are they silent when they know their son keeps hurting me and even his granddaughter. But if they don't know, maybe right now they want to take Edward away from me, too. They've lost Mikola it's not impossible they want Edward.

"Mbak, it's dong. Don't think about it, Mother also has to think about the baby branch in the womb. I'm sure Mas Gaga will succeed and everything will go our way. The wrong one will get a penalty, already yes Ma'am. They don't deserve to be the focus anyway." I was shocked when Miranda rubbed my shoulder. I nodded but still, this heart was restless and scared.

Reza and Clara are too crazy to have to spread everything into the public domain. Imagine the shares of his company that continue to decline, even many collaborations that break up because of this. They have given everything to get support.

But I'm sure it doesn't make them sympathetic otherwise. I'm just afraid, the man who's gone crazy is making things that don't.

Don't they think how Edward's life is after this?.

Don't they think how he's mental, Edward?.

This little boy they throw with big problems and bear the consequences of all of us. It was my fatal mistake to choose the wrong man, it was my fault, it was all my fault!!!.

Somehow I have to behave in front of my son, later. What answer should I explain to him. My head was filled with questions that ended with a dead-end answer.

Will that sweet smile of hers continue to be etched? How heartbroken it is to see him laughing so loosely at this moment, after remembering the problems we were facing. Why did Edward have to endure?.

Seeing her joking with Mikola, her smile was etched beautifully. Her lip strokes decorated her puffed cheeks. Will the joy continue to exist?.

"I'm sorry Mommy, son.." I said.

My tears kept flowing, but I didn't ask him to come out.

"Mbak.." pat Miranda on my shoulder.

"Already, Ma. Trust in God and keep asking Him for all this to be done with the end we want. Edward is the son of Mas Gaga. He is not a whiny boy, easily influenced or timid. Remember, Ma'am. Your son is a responsible, strong and broad-minded man." Miranda advised me, it is true that Edward is different from a child his age. But he's still a little boy to me.

"Hopefully, I'm afraid the growth is disrupted" I replied.

"Be assured of your son, Ma'am. He's not a weak man." Miranda smiled at me with all her might as I returned her smile.

"Oh yes, Mbak reminded when Edward helped Mas Gaga to get a project in Kalimantan at that time. Freddy told me how great Edward was in that meeting. Ailing Mas Gaga, accompanied by Edward by his side, won the project. Though his opponent is amazing, even Freddy is not able to get it. In a short time Edward studied the material and presentation in front of everyone. Four-year-old Loch, Ma'am. I myself can't necessarily afford it." he said enthusiastically. Maybe it meant comforting me but my heart remained unsettled.

"It was just luck, Miranda. Because they did not expect Edward to dare to appear, they might just be amazed to give the project to him, because they believe in Mas Gaga" I said.

"Yes can think of it that way, Ma'am. But we can take the positives, Ma'am. Such a small child dared to appear in front of many people who had strong charisma. Perhaps a child of his age would be afraid to even cry."

I can't help that, because Edward is standing in the middle of big business pressure. I myself did not necessarily dare to stand alone, but he was so gallant up ahead there. I clearly remember what he said at that time.

"Daddy don't worry, it's an important project for our company, right? I'm not taking it off, it's a gift to Daddy who's been struggling to get sick." That's not what a four-year-old says. But that's what I heard clearly in my ears.

He even forbade me to help him. At the press of several opponents, he remained calmly seated by his Daddy's side. I have to be sure that my son is amazing. He would not easily falter with just a problem, even he could already distinguish right from wrong. Even good at negotiation.

I took a deep breath and threw it away. My heart is a little calm, I have to explain to Edward as soon as possible the matter. Don't let him be surprised at the trial later. We have to help Mas Gaga get this problem right. I'm sure Edward can, I'm sure of it!!!.

"Thank you, Miranda. My heart was a little relieved given the rare event. Yes you're right, Edward didn't win the project once or twice. Although yesterday's project really shocked the business world and maybe because of that Reza wanted to seize Edward and want to bear the name as "The birth father of the Prince of Business" they nicknamed for Edward."

"Yes, Mother. You have to trust Edward. He can handle it." he clasped my hand tightly.

"But will Edward side with Reza, Miranda?. Especially after he found out that Reza was his real father." My mind was indeed traveling in all directions. My heart and body are slowly breaking.

"Mr... You don't have to think much. From childhood Edward was always with Mas Gaga. There was no way she had a father who abandoned her, even now spreading her disgrace. Take it easy Ma'am, he's a smart kid" he said. I'm nodding.

"Hopefully.. May all return to calm, let Edward enjoy his childhood well." I said sincerely from the heart. I remember being pregnant when Edward had to part with Mas Reza. And even living alone in a foreign place. Fortunately there was always Mas Gaga by my side accompanying me and taking good care of Edward.

I have nothing to fear, I'm sure my son and husband will stay with me. I have to learn to be calm and tough like them, so that I don't always worry them.

Edward needs my support and attention, I shouldn't be weak by his side. Mas Gaga was also very bothered with this problem.
