The day passed so fast. Now Elena's stomach has gotten bigger and bigger and she can't continue to accompany and care for Diego. The man is much better now, but he still has to do several therapies so that he can walk normally again. Several police officers have questioned Diego regarding the corruption case that befell him. And, fortunately, Diego has solid evidence that he's innocent. Evidence that shows who were the perpetrators of corruption who embezzled billions of rupiah in Fernandez Corporation company money. And now Diego's status has changed from suspect to key witness. And it is still kept secret for the man's safety from the other suspects.

Elena who knew the progress of the case could breathe a sigh of relief. She was sure Diego would not do something bad like that. And now it's time for Elena to say goodbye to Diego, pretending to be out of town for the next six months.

​​

"So, you're leaving today." Diego's tone was weak, he wasn't happy with Elena's departure.

"Yes, Darling. I have to go now." To convince Diego, Elena even brought a suitcase containing her clothes.

"Can't you cancel it." Diego hopes Elena doesn't leave.

"Can't Darling. I have to go. I've been bothering Shelina a lot. So, there's no way I could make her disappointed by canceling my departure."

Diego stared fixedly at Elena. His heart was not willing to let Elena go.

"After all, I was only gone for six months. Then I'll be home." Elena gripped Diego's fingers tightly. Convince and dispel the man's uneasiness.

Diego's heart was very unwilling. But he couldn't stop Elena from leaving. Because he also knows Elena can't cancel it. But somehow Diego's heart was unwilling. As if Elena would go far and leave him forever. As if the woman had not gone away for six months but left and would never come back to him.

With a heavy heart, Diego nodded in resignation, "Promise me, you will call me when you get there."

"Yes, darling. And enthusiasm for your therapy later. I can not help you. But I always wish you the best. And I'm sure you can run smoothly again. Because you are the strongest and greatest man in my life."

"Yes, of course." Diego smiled broadly at Elena's face. He was determined that before six months he should return to health, clear his name at the office, and go back to work. And after six months have passed when Elena returns, Diego will marry her.

Elena turned to the side looking at Mira who had been there.

"Mira, I ...."

"Yes, I know what you want to say. I will accompany and help Diego in therapy. So, you can relax there," said Mira interrupting Elena's words.

Hearing this, Elena became teary and hugged Mira, "Thank you, Mira."

"Take care of yourself and your babies," Mira whispered in Elena's ear.

"And don't forget to call me." Elena nods.

"Already you have to go immediately." Mira let go of her embrace. Elena nodded and turned back to face Diego. Her eyes fixed on that man. Tears have streamed down her white cheeks. Without waiting any longer, she threw herself into Diego's embrace.

Hugged the man tightly.

"I will miss you, darling." Elena's tears grew even more.

"Yes, I will miss you too." Diego tightened his embrace. Inhaled Elena's signature pheromone and closed his eyes.

"I love you," whispered Diego right beside Elena's ear. Made the woman cry even more.

A minute later Mira touched Elena's shoulder. And Elena let go of her hug. Realized it was time for her to leave. She stood by Diego's side who sat leaning on the hospital bed. Staring closely at the handsome man's face. In six months, she will not be able to make face-to-face matches with Diego.

Six months she will not be able to hug that man. And in six months she will part with him. Elena will miss him. The man who always looks after her. The man who was always by her side under any circumstances. The man who gave her an abundance of affection and love. And the man whose life has always been dependent on.

Elena took a deep breath and exhaled. Although reluctant to go and get away from Diego, Elena had to do it. She forced a smile on her face.

"I'm leaving, Darling." With a heavy heart, Elena turned around to dance her suitcase and was about to take a step. But her arm was held from behind. Diego held her.

Elena turned and rushed back to hug Diego. Gosh, she doesn't wanna go. Diego kisses Elena's forehead for a long time.

Mira just smiled a little seeing the two of them. She understood that the two of them were reluctant to separate. And she hopes Diego will continue to be by Elena's side no matter what, waiting for Elena to come back and welcome her with open arms.

....

Elena walked into the mansion by dragging her suitcase. From now to the next six months she will stay in this mansion all day long. She had quit her job and had said goodbye to Diego. So she only lived her days in this mansion until the time of her birth. After that, she can go and see Diego again.

Elena sat languidly on the living room sofa. Her eyes were swollen from crying earlier. Elena convinced herself that she could endure this to the end.

Auntie Yanti has brought her suitcase to the room. And Auntie Yanti also said that Elise was out at this time.

Elena's gaze is now down to the stomach. Her hand rubbed her stomach which was already bulging. Rub with gentle movements. Elena loves the twins who are now growing in her womb. Even though the twins are not the children of the man she loves, Elena can't help but love her child. Her maternal instincts grew and she wanted one of her children. Want to care for and raise him.

Brian balked at her request. And until now Elena has not talked about it again. The focus for the past few weeks was only on grooming and keeping Diego company. Now she can go back to thinking about her twins baby. She'll talk again to Brian ... and Elise. Elena believes Elise can help persuade Brian to agree to her request. Yes, Elena will struggle to get one of her twins baby.

Suddenly a middle-aged woman just walked in and stood not far from her.

"Elise." The voice of the call made Elena look up at a middle-aged woman. The woman looks over fifty years old. But it still looks beautiful.

she?

Elena frowned. Who is she? Elena feels familiar. She had seen that woman's face. But where?

Elena studied the look on that face. The woman looks similar to Brian. And immediately Elena realized that the middle-aged woman who was standing not far from her was Brian's mother. Rena Fernandez, Elise's mother-in-law.

Elise has already told the woman and showed her photo to Elena. So that he could recognize and pretend to be Elise when she met her.

Elise also tells her about Rena not liking Elise. Don't approve of Brian's marriage with Elise, only because of Elise's social status and identity, who is an orphan.

Knowing who that woman was, Elena immediately got up.

"Mother." Elena greeted in a low voice. But it can still be heard by Rena very clearly.

Mother?

Rena frowned. Elise called her mother. Her eyes looked suspiciously at Elena. Realizing the suspicious gaze that Rena gave, Elena immediately walked over.

"Moth-Mommy, come in."

Elena stuttered as she called Rena, Mommy. She is now standing opposite Rena. Elena stood restless, nervous, and awkward. Even though Rena is not her mother-in-law, the sharp gaze full of investigating that Rena gives makes Elena uncomfortable.

What should she do and say to that middle-aged woman?

Thinking about it, Elena realized she had to be kind.

"Please sit down, Mo-Mommy." Elena is still having trouble calling Rena, Mommy.

Rena's forehead that had been frowning now disappeared. The woman sat on the sofa and looked back at Elena sharply. She's always been like that to Elise.

"What's Mommy want to drink?" asked Elena.

"No need. Mommy just wants to know the condition of Mommy's grandchildren." Rena's tone of voice has always been unfriendly, always curt, and cynical.

Elena sighed and sat on the single sofa. Dealing with Rena. Rena's words made Elena lower her head and stroked her belly.

"My pregnancy is fine, Mom. Doctor Diana said my fetus was developing well and being healthy." Elena's eyes were only on her stomach. Gaze affectionately at the fetus that is still in its stomach.

"You don't eat carelessly, do you?"

"No. I eat the food the doctor recommends."

"You don't have weird cravings, do you?" Again, Rena's voice was cynical and disliked. Elena didn't mind the way the middle-aged woman spoke.

Elena smiles as she remembers the night Brian fulfilled her strange wish, which was when the man wore Elise's lingerie.

"No. I just wake up a lot at night hungry."

"Look, you have to take good care of your womb. Mommy will never forgive you if you have a miscarriage. Do you understand?" threatened Rena.

Elena nodded firmly. Her hands unconsciously hugged her stomach. She also didn't want to lose the baby. After Rena talked to Elena at length she said goodbye to her home.

....

Now that it is night, Elena, Elise, and Brian are sitting relaxed in the family room. They are watching tv.

Elise sat on the same sofa as Brian. Her hand hugged Brian's right arm tightly. Meanwhile, Elena sat on the single sofa.

The woman is restless. Since dinner, she had wanted to say what she wanted. Elena even practiced and composed the right sentences so that she got her to wish. The desire to raise one of her babies.
