"Do you know me?" Axell asked, approaching the woman, who said her name was Celine.Celine's nodded and then cried, hugging Axell without warning."I'm sorry," she said, sobbing.Axell just remained silent, without returning the woman's hug, because honestly, Axell's heart was beating, as if he felt there was a bond between them. However, Axell couldn't guess what it was.Mrs. Celine was still sobbing and hadn't let go of her hug. Axell finally returned her hug."Cry, ma'am. If it reduces your burden. Even though I don't know what the problem is," said Axell, tightening his arms. Because Axell couldn't see a woman crying, his thoughts wandered to the orphanage and to a middle-aged woman there who spent her time caring for abandoned children like him. Yes, he remembered Mrs. Ania."I'm sorry," said Mrs. Celine between tears.Judging from her appearance, Mrs. Celine is not a random person. It seems like she comes from a wealthy family because the items she wears are all from well-known
"Please don't make my patience run out. Don't make me wait for unclear things like this," said Axell, holding back his emotions."Let me go," said Mrs. Celine as she stood up."Won't!" Axell shouted, making Mrs. Celine flinch."I told you, don't expect you to leave this room before saying what's wrong, because you came here yourself," said Axell, sitting Mrs. Celine back on the sofa.The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and cried again."How can I tell you that I am the evil mother who abandoned her child in front of an orphanage, and now that child has become a strong and tough man who is respected throughout this country?" Mrs. Celine sobbed and covered her face with her palms.Axell froze when he heard Mrs. Celine's explanation; it felt very difficult to breathe. Until Axell sat quietly on the sofa for a while."So?" Axell asked, not continuing his journey."Yes, I am your biological mother," answered Mrs. Celine firmly, even though tears were still flowing down her cheeks."Wh
"I'll say goodbye," said Mrs. Celine as she stood up and prepared to leave Axell's room."When will you leave?" Axell asked."Two weeks," answered Celine."Okay. I don't need this; please take it and hand it over to those who need it if you don't need it anymore," said Axell as he returned the folder that had been placed on the table."That's for you," said Mrs. Celine."I can't accept it."Finally, Celine was forced to take the folder back and leave Axell's room."Can I hug you one more time?" Celine asked.Axell didn't answer, nor did he refuse when Mrs. Celine hugged him tightly."Excuse me," said Mrs. Celine as she left Axell's room and put on sunglasses to cover her eyes, which were swollen from crying.He didn't expect his son to grow up to be such a strong child. Celine plans to come to the orphanage where she abandoned Axell to say thank you to the people who took care of Axell until he became what he is today.After Mrs. Celine left her room, Axell roughened his hair with hi
Two week after Celine's arrival, there was no more news about the middle-aged woman. And the company is still operating normally as usual, and today the doctor who asked for a DNA test came to the office."Good morning, Mr. Axell," said Doctor Fadil as he sat in front of Axell's desk."Good morning, Doctor Fadil. I'm sorry to be a bother, but you're the one who came here," said Axell."It's okay, sir; I happened to be passing through here too, so I'll just take it with me," chuckled Doctor Fadil."So how did it go, sir?" Axell asked impatiently."Hmmm."Doctor Fadil cleared his throat, then took the envelope, which was still sealed, and handed it to Axell."Just open the envelope, Dok," said Axell, holding out the envelope in front of Dr Fadil."Why sir?""It's okay, sir; I just haven't prepared myself mentally for all the results," said Axell, looking down."Neither positive nor negative?" asked Dr Fadil."Yeah, doc.""Okay, I'll open it, sir," said Dr Fadil as he opened the envelope
Axell returned home with a slightly confused heart, and Frans still couldn't find Celine."Are you home?" Mrs. Ania was surprised when she found Axell still sitting on the terrace, smoking his cigarette. This is something that rarely happens; Axell usually smokes in the gazebo and forbids Tama from coming near. Never smoke on the terrace because it is prone to Tama's sudden arrival."Yes, mom," Axell answered nervously, then put out his cigarette. For him, his children and mother are people who must be protected from the dangers of cigarette smoke, so when one of them is around, Axell chooses to put out his cigarette."Why?" Mrs. Ania asked because she understood that her son could never hide his problems alone."The DNA test results have come out," Axell answered dreamily."Keep going?""The results match; she is indeed the mother who conceived, gave birth, and threw me away.""Forget her grudges and mistakes; accept her as your mother. Respect her like your real mother, son," advise
It turned out that Axell drove his car to home, parking the car haphazardly. Axell entered the house in silence. Mr. Ujang, who opened the door, remained silent when he saw Axell come home disheveled and accompanied by Mrs. Ania and a mother who came this afternoon."Axell, listen first," called Mrs. Celine, chasing Axell up to the second floor.But Axell didn't care, and...Braaak.Axell closed his bedroom door roughly, causing quite a loud sound."I'm sorry. Please listen to me first," said Mrs. Celine while sobbing while sitting in front of Axell's room door."Axell, come out first," called Mrs. Ania.However, Axell did not budge.Mrs. Celine was still sitting and sobbing in front of Axell's room."Don't be like this; it'll hurt. Come on, let's rest first; hopefully we can talk to Axell tomorrow morning," Mrs. Ania's voice was heard persuading Mrs. Celine, who was still sitting in front of Axell's room door, even though it was past eleven o'clock at night."No, ma'am. I'll wait for
"Man, let's go home. I have to leave at eight," said Mrs. Celine to the driver, who was sipping his cigarette after finishing his breakfast."Yes, ma'am," answered Maman."Be careful," said Axell.Axell greeted Mrs. Celine, then hugged her tightly."Inform me when you leave for the airport, ma'am," Axell whispered to his mother.For some reason, Axell didn't trust Maman a little. For him, no one can be trusted, especially when things are threatened. Maman might reveal his mother's secret if he finds out that his mother won't leave the country."Yes," answered Mrs. Celine, gently stroking Axell's hair.Mrs. Celine's car slowly left Axell's house, and Mrs. Ania, Tama, and Rikel accompanied her to the gate."Bye, Grandma," said Tama with his pillow face."Bye, Tama, I'll come here again sometime, okay?" said Mrs. Celine while kissing Tama and Rikel's cheeks in turn.Axell exhaled roughly, then sat on a terrace chair with a dreamy look."She is proud of you," said Mrs. Ania, stroking Axel
"We're going home," said Axell when he arrived home after picking up Mrs. Celine at the airport."Welcome," said Mrs. Ania, who immediately hugged her child.This sight moved Celine, seeing how close Axell was to Mrs. Ania, who had cared for and educated him since he was a baby. And even Celine saw that Mrs. Ania's love for Axell was very big."Papa," said Tama, running out to welcome Axell."Are you home from school?" Axell asked while carrying Tama."That's it, papa.""Okay, let's play first, then rest," said Axell."Yes, papa.""Kiss oma's hand," Axell ordered Tama.Tama really grew into a good, obedient child."Mom, just go straight to your room and ask Aunt Rasi for help cleaning it up. I'm going to the office," said Axell while shaking hands with Mrs. Ania and Mrs. Celine in turn."Be careful," said Mrs. Ania as she escorted Axell to the front door.Axell drove his car to the office, where today at exactly two o'clock there was a schedule to meet a client who would propose coope
