"What's up with her? Why are her hands so cold?" Aiden asked frantically.

The doctor who accompanied Anya immediately explained. "Sir, the operation was successful and we managed to stop the bleeding. Miss Anya lost quite a lot of blood and the temperature inside the operating room was low so that her hands felt cold. After returning to her room, she will recover,"

After that, Anya was sent back to her room. Once she woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Nico and Tara came to visit her, but they could only see from outside the door. Aiden didn't let them in and immediately kicked them out.

Raka knew that Aiden did not let anyone visit Anya, but he still had the courage to come.

Luckily, Aiden let him in as a thank you for helping Anya when he couldn't be there.

Anya's face was as white as a paper. Even though she was asleep, her eyes were still shedding tears.

"Why didn't you protect her? Why did you let her suffer like this?" Raka went berserk and shouted at Aiden.

Aiden didn't say anything and just looked at his wife's body lying on the hospital bed.

This morning, her little hand was still reaching out the sky to feel the raindrops from the sky.

This morning, her tiny body was still spinning happily under the drizzle.

They still walked hand in hand in the morning. But now, Anya could only stay in bed, completely motionless.

"I didn't think all of this would happen. I just want to spend Christmas with her before I part with her tomorrow," Aiden said quietly.

"What is the difference? What difference does it make to kill a child today and tomorrow? Can't you understand what she wants?"

"I can't give her what she wants," Aiden whispered.

"Anya didn't force you to stay with her. If you want a divorce, she will give it to you. She just wanted to keep the child in her womb. You know how much Anya values ​​blood and family ties. Can't you grant her wish?" Raka said, expressing Anya's heart.

When she heard Raka say this, Anya's tears flowed even more profusely. She pulled the blanket around her body and covered her head.

"Anya, are you awake?" Raka immediately noticed Anya's movements.

"Raka, please send him out. I don't want to see him," Anya's voice sounded weak.

Aiden's face immediately looked grim, much worse than before. "Get some rest. I'll be on guard outside. Nobody can hurt you again,"

"What for? Nothing hurt me more than this pain…" she whispered softly, but her voice reached Aiden and Raka's ears.

Aiden walked out of the room with heavy steps.

In the corner of the corridor, Nico lifted his head when he saw the door to Anya's room was open. When he saw Anya kick Aiden out, he bowed his head again.

"Anya, you have to take care of yourself. Constantly grieving is not good for your health," Raka said.

"What's the point in me living if I can't protect my own child..." Anya said, crying.

"Calm down. You don't just live for Aiden and the child. You still have your dreams. You still have your mother. Think about your mother," Raka said.

Anya was too immersed in her sadness to think of her mother. Her heart felt even sadder when she remembered Diana.

She opened the blanket that covered her head. Meanwhile, Raka helped her so she could lean back more comfortably.

"Raka, don't tell my mother about this problem. I don't want to worry her," Anya said.

Raka nodded. "This afternoon I visited your father at the hospital. He was not in pain like before and slept soundly,"

"Don't tell my father about this either," Anya said. Tears couldn't stop flowing from the corner of her eye.

Raka handed her a tissue and said, "Don't cry."

"I thought Sister Maria was a good person. Why did she do this to me? What exactly was my fault to her?" Anya asked with reddened eyes.

Raka could only exhale a deep breath. During this time, he considered Maria as an extraordinary mother and wife figure.

Who would've known that such a woman had the heart to kill someone else's child.

"Sometimes we do things because we believe what we are doing is right. Humans are that selfish. I don't understand why Nico's mother did this, but I'm sure she must have had a hard time doing it too," Raka said.

"Do they still have hearts? Why are they doing this to me?"

Aiden could hear all of Anya's words from outside. His hands were tightly clenched. The back of his hand was battered from hitting the wall. Even though it was wrapped with a bandage, the blood stains were still visible from the outside.

Aiden left the house for about two hours.

During those two hours, Anya tried hard to protect the child in her womb at all costs. She rebelled, thrashed around and fought for her child's life.

During those two hours, Anya hoped that Aiden would come back and save her.

The more hope she placed on Aiden, the greater the disappointment she felt when she found out that he didn't come to save her.

And nobody came to save her.



Meanwhile, at the Atmajaya Family's main house...

Maria seemed to have lost her soul as she sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for news about Anya.

"Where's my mother?" Nico asked from the front door.

Maria went straight to Nico and asked, crying. "Nico, how is Anya?"

"Mother! What are you doing?! Why did you kill my uncle and aunt's children?" Nico couldn't understand any of this. Why did his mother have to do something like this?

Earlier in the hospital, Aiden stared at him hatefully as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

"I don't want to do it either. All of this is for their own good!" Maria replied, crying.

Nico didn't understand while Maria just cried and cried. In the end, he decided to ask Bima.

"Where is grandfather? Grandpa…!" Nico shouted from room to room but couldn't find his grandfather.

"Mr. Bima left. We don't know where," a maid said to him.

"He felt guilty for telling my mother to do this so went to calm himself down," Nico was annoyed that he couldn't get an answer from anyone.

"Mr. Nico, don't blame Mr. Bima. He's also very sad," the old maid took a deep breath.

Nico recalled when Anya was just pregnant, all of his family welcomed the news happily. However, everything changed so suddenly.

First, Aiden wanted to divorce Anya and all of his family members agreed to force Anya to abort the pregnancy.

And all these changes started when the Atmajaya Family found his little sister.

"Mother, you found my sister, right? Who the hell is she and where is she now? Does this have something to do with the aunt? Is aunt my sister?" Nico asked what he guessed in mind.

Maria didn't answer, she was crying even louder.

"Mother, it's not true, right? Tell me that this isn't true!" Nico laughed awkwardly, hoping his mother would laugh at this crazy thing. But Maria could only lower her head and cry. 

"No... " Nico sat on the sofa. He lowered his head and rubbed his head with both hands.

"The Atmajaya family has carried out three DNA tests and the results are the same. Don't blame Mr. Bima or Mrs. Maria. It's fate!" The old maid also had tears in her eyes.

Nico's eyes turned red, he ruffled his hair in frustration. "Mother! Can you stop crying? Tell me the truth!"

"Nico, why does our fate have to be like this?" Maria wept and wept.

She lost the child he gave birth to. After that, she was forced to care for and raise her husband's illegitimate child.

Then, the child she was caring for was also lost.

She lost her two daughters!

She knew it was difficult to find a child who had been missing for decades, but she did not expect that the identity of her biological daughter would make her feel even more hurt.

"I don't believe it! This is not possible! I will go to the hospital and ask her!" Nico couldn't accept all this.

He rushed to the door.
