In the corner of the room, a woman was sitting curled up while looking at the condensing window. His gaze was empty, his soul was floating. The pain of loss, takes away happiness in the blink of an eye. Cheerful laughter was no longer heard. Just empty and silent through the days.
"Darling.You haven't eaten yesterday. Poor the children in your stomach, they must be starving" Edward persuaded as he shoved a spoonful of food. Rona turned her head for a moment and pushed the spoon.
"I'm not hungry, Edward. I don't want to eat, I just want Ezio back in this house. Into our arms!" Rona's attention returned to the beginning, staring at the window. His mind wandered far away on the baby who was now separated from the deck.
"Don't be a selfish mother, Rona! The children in your stomach need food. They also deserve your attention! Don't act childish like this!" edward was desperate.
Rona looked with the tail of her eyes and then glared annoyed. "Me or you are selfish, Edward? You're more concerned with yourself than Ezio's happiness."
Edward snorted, he was confused to face the anger of Rona which did not also subside. Especially throughout the age of her marriage, only this time they were involved in a great fight. He was made confused because his attempt to make Rona understand was very difficult.
The man who would soon become a father, lowered his body and sat down next to his wife. He exhaled many times, cooling the warming brain. "It's not just you that's hit, I'm even worse off with everything that's happened. God is punishing me. That's why I don't want to act rashly. Don't want you or our children in danger."
"You're sad to lose Ezio, let alone me? Biologically, I am not his father. But, all feelings, I poured out for the boy. The kid who's been with us all this time."
"But I realized .. I must not dissolve in sadness because there is another life I must think of. You and our future children." Edward turned to look at Rona as well as Rona. Two pairs of heart windows meet, sharing each other's taste even without a word. They melt what is stored in the heart. However, it is not conveyed by the mouth that chooses the kelu.
"Please eat, for the sake of our children." Edward was still trying to persuade his wife and this time his efforts were successful. Rona finally burst out and was willing to open her mouth. He devoured all the food to the point of being unceremonious.
Edward smiled happily and grabbed his wife's body and plunged her into warmth. It had been two days since their eldest son left, Rona was in seclusion and did not want to talk to anyone especially her. "Thank you, baby.we're all dealing with this together. I can't promise Ezio will be with us. But I am sure God will give his best. For both of us and for Ezio."
Rona looked up looking for the face she had always missed. His gaze was soft, his face filled with bitterness. However, the thin smile lodged on his lips is enough to say that he has risen and is ready to face all the trials of life with the idol of the heart.
"Why see me like that, Rona?" Edward who was consciously stared at so closely, he became misbehaved. "Don't look at me like that, I'm really embarrassed!"
Rona chuckled while patting Edward on the cheek. "Since when have you been ashamed, hm...? Usually embarrassing!"
Edward did not answer Rona's slurs, he lifted his wife's body and laid on the bed. His deep gaze seemed to say that he wanted his wife right now. However, his thoughts were dashed because Rona again scowled. She still wanted to punish her husband for letting Roy take Ezio away.
"Hold ... there's still one week left!! You have to be strong I didn't give you rations tonight. Tell me who, bitch!" rona said, pointing to Edward's chest.
"OK. okay I give up, I must be strong. But it was me who wasn't strong," whined Edward looking towards his possession.
"That's your pain, Edward! I'm ah, I'm gonna take a shower. I want to see Ezio!" rona was unconscious.
"See Ezio? See where Ezio is going, Rona?" asked Edward.
Rona looked down lethargic and let out a weak sigh. "Em.. to the house of om Theo, who knows can see Ezio from afar. I miss our son, Edward. I can't keep quiet like this."

Emerald Mansion
"Ezio, baby, look Sister Ana brought Ezio's favorite food. Ezio eat ya?" A middle-aged woman seduces a boy sobbing on a swing. Since his arrival in this strange place, tears have never dried from the sense of sight.
"How about Ana, does Ezio want to eat?" ask a young woman who has just arrived at the residence of her future father-in-law.
"Son Ezio won't eat, Miss. I had persuaded him from earlier," Ana said worriedly. He was afraid that Roy was scolding him again for not making Ezio finish his meal.
"Let me feed him." The woman wearing the miniskirt pulled the plate that Ana was holding.
"But Miss Jessy ... Mr. Roy later scolded me again if my work was not done," Ana tried to pull back Ezio's dinner plate. However, Jessy held him back.
"It's okay. Roy won't scold you, Ana. Let me give him understanding. You better do another job. Let Ezio take care of it."
"Well Miss then, excuse me to go back to the kitchen." Ana bows and leaves Ezio and Jessy.
Jessy walks up to Ezio and pulls out a toy dinosaur from the goody bag she was carrying. "See this, baby... Aunty, what's that?"
Ezio threw away his face not looking at Jessy. He did not want anything because all he needed right now was his parents.
"Ezio miss mommy Rona same daddy Edward huh?" ask Jessy back.
Hearing the name of the loved ones called, Ezio suddenly turned his head. "Yes Aunty, Ezio miss mommy same daddy. Uncle Roy is evil Aunty .. he always scolds Ezio. This morning Ezio's leg was hit with a broom."
Jessy stretches out her arms encapsulating Ezio's body. "You're sorry, but now there's Aunty Jessy looking after Ezio. As long as there's an Aunty no one can hurt Ezio!"
"Well now... Ezio eat yes baby. If Ezio is sick, mommy and daddy will be sad." Jessy thrusts food into Ezio's mouth, the little boy opens his mouth with pleasure.
Jessy rubbed the top of Ezio's head. "Good boy, let's eat again!"
Jessy feeds Ezio for a bite, until the food on the plate is left a little. The ego that expected Ezio to be his son, was eroded by compassion. He could not bear to see Ezio continue to cry and depressed because of Roy's rude attitude.
