The Foreign Taste
Adnan

"Your plan is.. Isn't it too ordinary, Nand? If Mas Adit does not want to be negotiated how?" Rahayu's voice sounded pessimistic.

"What do you think your husband looks like, Yu?" Ask Nanda back.

"Mas Adit's..."

Clik.

Aditya presses a button on his laptop screen so that he can pause from listening to a recording of the conversation that Jeff just sent to him.

His mind was tangled and again chaotic. Rahayu has finally found out the true identity of the girl named Ranum.

And it's only a matter of time until Rahayu can recall all the dark times they've spent together before her wife's accident.

Aditya felt confused and scared. Gamang, whether he dared to listen to the continuation of the recording earlier or not.

And Aditya was also scared. Afraid of what he would hear later from the tape. About how Rahayu thinks of her all this time.

Aditya really does not want to fight me in fights and quarrels again with Rahayu. Like old times..

The man had been used to living peacefully with his wife for the past ten years. Although he knew, the life they had lived for the past ten years seemed like a beautiful dream that could end at any moment. Until Rahayu recalls all her memories.

Aditya can not deny, if he has a dark and gloomy past life.

The shadow of life as the successor of a mafia family, always clinging and stalking her wherever she steps.

Even though since the last seven years he has released almost all of his efforts from illegal business. But still, there are still some things that need to be resolved with the underground power of his ancestors first.

Aditya is actually tired because it is always labeled bad by Rahayu, while his wife had not lost her memory. Because of this he also tried to eliminate his Skull gang slowly.

But Rahayu didn't know that. And his wife might not believe all his efforts to become a better person now.

Brak!

Aditya kicked off the mahogany table in his study quite tight. Until making some of the items on top of it so shifted or fell.

Like a picture of her two with Rahayu who just taken her a few months ago. Figura photo was also dropped from his standing position.

Then Aditya was moved to re-observe the figura. In the photo she held, she and Rahayu looked charming smiles.

Aditya with a thin and soothing smile. And Rahayu who was smiling was satisfied while laying her head against the man's chest. The two seemed to be in harmony and satisfied with their lives. And Aditya likes this fantasy.

But now, after Rahayu found out the secret that she had painstakingly hidden for years.. Aditya is not sure if they will be able to continue their happy life as before.

The man imagined days of rage and shouting as they often did. Like when Rahayu still has not had the accident.

...

Long stunned staring at his photo with his wife, Aditya then steadied his heart over something.

With one pressure on the keys on his keyboard, the laptop screen came back bright. Showing the last recorded trail heard by the man.

Before facing Rahayu later tonight, Aditya knows that he must first know Rahayu's opinion about himself during this time. So that from there he can decide what actions to do by him later.

And, Aditya's index finger finally pressed the play button on his laptop screen.

Clik.

Rahayu was nervous. Since coming home from Ranum's house and knowing the reality related to his biological daughter, he was wracked by mixed feelings. Yes happy. Yes anxious. Yes fear. Everything mixed into one.

Rahayu finds it very easy to believe that Ranum is her biological daughter by reason that she cannot explain anyway. Call it her instinct as a mother.

Moreover, her face and Ranum were arguably close to identical. With Ranum as a young version of his self probably in the past.

Rahayu accepts Nida's proposal to do a DNA test on her as well as Ranum. This is done to further solidify his heart from the truth that exists between them.

Especially until now Rahayu still can not remember all her past before. So there's nothing wrong with him doing a DNA test. And Ranum was grateful not to object to this plan.

Finally, it was decided that tomorrow the two of them would conduct DNA tests to a nearby hospital. Nida suggested doing it today. But because Rahayu has an appointment with Aditua after mahhrib, the DNA test plan must be pushed back to tomorrow.

Rahayu decides to talk to Aditya first. Following the advice put forward by Nanda to her this afternoon.

"If you can talk about it, talk to your husband first, Yu. Moreover, you guys have been together long enough. Of course the discussion room will be easier for both of you. Meanwhile, let Ranum stay with me and Nida first. Until we are absolutely sure that Ranum can live safely and happily with you again," said Nanda at length.

"Hhhhhh.." Rahayu sighed tiredly.

Not to have met Aditya, Rahayu was already feeling nervous immeasurably.

"Ma.. What did Mama think?" Adnan's voice breaks Rahayu's daydream.

Shaken in surprise, Rahayu immediately turned to look at her foster son.

Yep. Adnan is the foster son she adopted from an orphanage eleven years ago.

Before Rahayu gets into an accident and loses her memory, she and Aditya agree to adopt Adnan from an orphanage she used to visit.

Adnan was five years old. He was a quiet and caring boy. Rahayu accidentally sees Adnan feeding a cat with a piece of fish, his own lunch menu.

At that time Rahayu was immediately interested in the boy. So unknowingly at their following meetings, Rahayu always seek and invite Adnan talk.

Adnan's name in the orphanage used to be Dodo. But since Rahayu officially adopted her, she changed her son's name to Adnan. Adnan Nasution's.
