"Oh my God, Zalin!" pekik Zalfa hysterical.
The middle-aged woman approached, her hands raised touching Zalin's cheeks, looked at that face, right! there's resemblance.
"Your name is Zalinda?" tanyakanya.
"I iiya Madam!" answer Zalin.
Afik was already sitting on the sofa, his knees were limp as if unable to hold his body weight.
"Is she your mother?" tanya Zalfa pointed at Bi Adin.
"Yes." Yeah."
"And you.." pointed it at Bi Adin, "Is he really your son?"
Bi Adin let out a heavy sigh, the old woman lowered her head deeply, fear and worry making a huck in her chest.
"Your silence makes me sure of the answer."
"I don't mean to hide anything Madam."
"I understand!"
"Let's talk about this!"
Zalfa took Bi Adin to a room, and she told Afik to wake her husband and immediately follow him to their private room.

"Hai Jio.." spoiled Shakira, the woman gently caressed the cheeks of the little baby boy from her Boss.
"You can familiarize her with Mother's call for you!" shirleen said, "I don't mind, they're your children too!"
"Thank you Miss!" sahut Shakira's.
Glanced at Jill in the baby box next to her, the tiny baby looked slumbering.
"How's Jio doing?" ask Shakira.
"He's fine for now, hopefully no more heart leaks in the next few years. However, Doctor Eri said even so Jio still can not move heavily that makes him too tired, he still continues to be in handling." explained Shirleen.
"You want a sling?" shirleen asked Shakira.
The woman's unbroken eyes looked at Jio making Shirleen offer that.
"I don't dare."
"It's easy enough if you want to, look." Shirleen takes Jio inside the box, then starts to clutch her.
"Mama's son." spoiled Shirleen.
Shakira smiled warmly, sometimes still thinking if only. True said Roy, sincere is not as easy as what is said, the proof of him, although sincere, although he can smile sweetly like this, but that does not mean he does not save sadness.
The fetus that may have just been shaped like a lump of meat in his womb that is what he always misses.
"Try it" said Shirleen.
"No Miss, I don't dare." Shakira refused again.
"Jio baby, this is Mommy... Call her Mother yaaa!" shirleen exclaims like introducing Shakira again to Jio.
The tiny baby squirms, as soon as his eyes meet Shakira's.
Shakira's tears could not be contained, she really loved the baby, "This dear Mother, this is Mother!" he spilled all his money, his anxiety seemed to pay off.
Shirleen is moved, her desire to share her happiness with Shakira is finally done, Shakira sees her begin to receive her baby.

"I know, you should be honest." His father Afik looks satisfied, today a reality is revealed.
"I found it while we were still living in my husband's hometown, Pangkalan Bun."
"At that time, my husband who was just a fisherman found him on the beach, his condition was very weak, we suspected he was one of the victims of the plane that crashed."
"We've reported to the hospital to broadcast this news, but one week passed by there was no sign that she had a family, she also didn't remember her name, she didn't remember anything, there is a necklace, bearing the name Zalinda, from which I know the name of the child." Bi Adin explained.
"Then?"
"Then, we took him home, we took care of him, while waiting for who knows who is looking for him, the necklace I deliberately hid, lest there be an irresponsible party confess I know Zalinda."
"Hemmm, aren't you lying?" ask his father Afik.
"No sir, my husband and my entire family at Pangkalan Bun can testify to what happened ten years ago."
"A little weird" said Afik's father again.
"Because it has been more than three months but no one has admitted to Zalin, my husband and I who do not have children decided to adopt Zalin, Zalin really didn't remember who he was until now."
"Have he ever tried to remember anything?"
"I never saw him trying to remember anything, and we didn't have the money to take him to the doctor trying to recover his memory."
"All the families knew that Zalin was not our son, but they also loved Zalin so they did not bother with it."
"Did Zalin know he wasn't your son?"
"No sir, emmm I was wrong because my husband and I never told her that."
"Why?"
"Well, already, we don't need to discuss, we already know the truth, Bi Adin is also honest, Mother feels there is no longer a problem."
"Well, you're right, but I still can't believe it, after ten years?"
"Sorry Sir, Madam. Is Zalinda your missing family?" tanya Bi Adin concluded, because the prospective employer seemed very happy to meet Zalin and found out that Zalin was not his biological child.
"He was our son-in-law, my son Afik and he was betrothed from their childhood, exactly eleven years ago when they were both seven years old, his name was Zalinda Bianca Putri Darmawan, the daughter of my late friend Darmawan Adijaya."
"That day, Zalin and his parents were going on vacation to Singapore, but the plane they were on had an accident, and until now they were not found."
"We have to introduce Zalin to the family of Adijaya Well, Zalin must know his identity" said Zalfa excited.
Bi Adin gaping unbelief, the power of God is true. Ten years have passed, Zalin can not remember where his family, where his origins, but only two years he settled in Jakarta, a reality can be revealed.
"I'm sorry Sir!"
"Alright, it's okay Bi, we should thank Zalin because we can be cared for by the right people, both like you, let us thank specifically his father Zalin, his husband Bi Adin." zalfa.
Rumbling in his chest, he was constantly grateful for Zalin's return.
Thank You Lord, thank You for bringing my son back, by Your will, by Your power.
"It doesn't need to be Madam, I mean it doesn't need to be that way, I apologize, because of the limited knowledge and cost constraints, we can't give Zalin a decent life, he said, he had to live a simple life with our family and..."
"Not to think about it, we should be very grateful, even though for a very long time, you've been taking care of our Zalin the best."
"That day, even you weren't willing to sell Zalin's necklace, what did you mean that day was the name necklace you found when Zalin was a kid?" asked Zalfa, he was sure but just wanted to be sure.
"Yes Madam, the necklace with the name Zalinda, I still always hope that Zalin can find his family someday, if the necklace is sold, then my hope will stop at that very moment." he said while holding tight.
