In the evening, Franco picked up Lora, and Lira for his invitation to eat at his house. That was the first time Lora and Lira would see Franco’s house.
That house had just been bought by Roel for him. The mother and daughter did not know what would happen that night.
“What are you ready for? I am close to your house.”
“Yes Franco, what is this gimmick of yours and we need to be formal? Who are your guests, are they celebrities?
“Ate Lora, don’t ask because you’ll see them too,” Franco replied.
He arrived at his sister-in-law’s house, and they left immediately so that they would not be late.
They have reached Franco’s house. Lora was amazed, she didn’t think that someone like Franco, who was a flower boy back then, had a nice house.
“Wow, you surprised us at your house, Franco. As for you it? Did you win the lottery like you hit the jackpot?”
“Haha! That’s too bad, sister. No, I’m just lucky that I didn’t buy it. You’ll also know who it is.” Franco replied.
They waited a few minutes for the visitor Franco told them.
~~~~~
Gio and Naneth went for a walk in a mall and by accident Miguel and Naneth met again while Gio was inside the store.
“Naneth?! How are you?”
“Oh! Miguel, ahm, it’s okay to have a big stomach.”
“Oh! Yes, I notice. Who was the father of the child? He is very lucky.”
“Haha! I’m unlucky because I don’t know who the father is. It’s just like an accident, baby. You know, I kind of forgot. By the time I got drunk and I was so depressed I didn’t know what I was doing.” Naneth replied.
“Oh! Sorry to hear that. Who’s with you? It’s afternoon when you go shopping.”
“Naneth, this is what you’re buying.” Said Gio.
“Ah! Gio was with me. He accompanied me.” Naneth replied.
“Oh! I see. It’s nice meeting you.”
“Nice meeting you again Miguel,” Naneth smiled sweetly. “Ah! How is your mom?”
“Ah! She’s better now. The operation is successful.”
“Oh! That’s great. I’m happy with your mom’s recovery.”
“Naneth, let’s go late.”
“All right, Miguel, we’re leaving. Let’s meet again.” Naneth smiled.
“All right, hope your delivery is successful.”
“Yes, thank you!” Miguel also left.
“Naneth! Why are you still talking to Miguel?
“You’re serious Gio, you know we’ve been friends before. What’s wrong with that? There’s no malice in our conversation, we’re just talking.” Naneth replied, annoyed.
“You know you’re getting married and then you’re still talking to men.”
“Oh! Wow, Gio! Have you forgotten that I didn’t force you to marry me? You are the one who wants to marry me and then you will ban me. We’re not even married yet. That’s how you behave.” Naneth walked out.
“Wait Naneth, you don’t understand how I feel. You know I’m jealous of that Miguel because your smile is even sweeter than mine.” Gio replied.
“You know your jealousy is out of place. You already know that he values me in you. I will no longer ride with you. I’ll just commute.” Naneth picked up what they had bought, and she hurried away from Gio.
Gio was worried about what might happen to her because she was pregnant, so he ran to catch up with Naneth. It was already down the escalator, so he sped up his pace even more. There he reached the basement where taxis were waiting for passengers.
“Naneth!” he held her hand.
“Let me go, don’t let me get in your car.”
“Naneth! Please, don’t be stubborn. Look, I didn’t mean what I told you, I was just carried away by my emotions.”
“You said so that’s right. I’m leaving. Let’s go. ”
Leaving Naneth she got into the taxi. Gio was left in the basement of the mall and he just took his car and went home.
When he got home, he noticed the house was quiet without his dad and Amer.
~~~~~
While Lora and Lira were at the table and then Franco’s guests arrived.
Lora was shocked when she saw Roel and the boy with him.
“Wait, is that you Roel?”
“Yes, sister Lora. It’s me.”
“Ha?! How come you and Franco have already met.”
“We only met recently so we decided to meet with you,” Roel replied.
“Wait! Are you the one I saw when I shopped at the market?
“Ha?! Is that so? Yes, that’s me.”
“Why didn’t you introduce yourself to me and leave right away instead.”
“I’m sorry sister, I’m not ready to talk to you at that time,” Roel replied.
“You two older brothers and Amer sit down first.” Said Franco.
“Are you Uncle Roel? Are you Naneth’s dad?”
“I’m Lira, the boy is still beautiful. By the way, your son is big.”
“Ah! Yes, he will be five months old this coming Saturday.”
“Oh! That’s why. Where is his dad?”
“Ha ?! Ah..ah! .. he is Robin Tan’s son.”
“Robin Tan? You mean Gilbert Tan’s son?”
“Yes, he is. Isn’t he the ex-husband of Naneth?” Roel replied.
“Yes he is, it’s a long story why we had a child.”
“Oh! I see, it’s okay if you can’t tell the story yet, it’s okay.”
“Roel, what are you up to now? How did you survive?
Roel was silent, wondering if he would tell his sister-in-law what happened to him before or if it would remain a secret between the three of them, Amer and Franco.
“Ah! Sister, don’t you know brother Roel? He is the owner of Alpha Private company. That’s what Naneth and I work for.”
“What?!” Lora and Lira were surprised at the same time.
“Are you serious about what you’re saying, Franco?”
“Of course, why should I lie he is another owner of a company that is against Tan Holdings Company.”
“Oh! I could not believe what I heard.”
“Wait! That’s with you uncle, I’ve seen him twice. He was the one who helped me when someone snatched my necklace and he was also the one Robin and I saw when we were at the bus station. Aren’t you Amer?”
“Yes, I’m Lira, and I’m glad you still remember me.”
“Of course, your face is familiar to me. Why are you together with my uncle? Do you also work for his company?”
“Yes, it has been a long time. He adopted me when I was on the street.”
“Oh! That’s good, Amer. My uncle is smart.”
“Yes, Uncle Roel is kind.”
“What?! Uncle Roel? Why do you call him uncle, isn’t he your boss?” Lira asked in surprise.
“Ah! That’s how it is sister Lora, that’s why I called because I have something important to tell you. Can’t you remember Amer’s face? That mark is on his hand, don’t you remember?”
Lora just stared at Amer and suddenly her memory returned.
“Sister, look at your son with dirt on his hands.”
“Really?! Look, what are you, isn’t that dirt, that birthmark means he’s a sign so your nephew won’t be lost even if he disappears, we know it’s him.”
“Ay! Is that so, yeah? He doesn’t want to be fired haha!”
“Oh no! You’re weird, go ahead and watch your nephew first.”
Lora couldn’t speak, she remembered who that man was. Suddenly her tears flowed without her realizing it.
“Mom, are you okay? Why are you crying? Who is Amer?”
“Son!” Lora approached Amer and hugged him tightly.
Lira was surprised by what she saw. He wonders why he calls Amer son. Who is Amer? Lora hugged for a long time so Amer, her actions show her longing as a mother to her child. Tears welled up in her eyes. While Amer’s eyes were silent and filled with a mixture of sadness and joy. He is still confused to this day.
“The longer I was anxious to see you, the longer I looked for you I thought you were dead. Thank God you are alive and your uncle Roel has adopted you.” Lora cried.
“Wait, is it true what I heard that my brother Amer?”
“Yes, she’s your brother Lira, we just found out recently. I didn’t even know he was my nephew when we first met.” Franco replied.
“I also only recently found out when Franco noticed the birthmark on his hand because I didn’t notice it when he was a child. That’s why I feel better about Amer because we have a blood relationship.” Roel replied.
“What happened to you son? Why did you suddenly disappear?”
Amer started talking, Lora was crying as she listened to Amer’s story. She didn’t think that her husband would be able to do what he did when he also sold Naneth.
“That Deme bastard, I thought he was innocent, he was even worse than a dog. He only thinks of himself, he doesn’t think of his son and niece as long as he has his own but that comes from evil.” Lora said angrily.
“Now Ate Lora, will you believe that I am innocent?
“Yes Franco, forgive me if I put you in jail because I thought you were the one who sold my son,” Lora replied.
“I’m still confused about what my dad did. He is kind to me, he gives me everything I want.”
“Yes, Lira because he spoiled you, and also because of your ambitious dreams that were not fulfilled, your dad will do everything even in exchange for the lives of your brother and cousin.” Franco scolded.
“Franco, let that end first.” Roel moaned.
“Brother, you don’t know what luxuries Lira wants but I’ll go ahead and skip everything that brother Deme did because of her,” Franco replied with annoyance.
“Why do you always blame me for what happened, I didn’t order dad to do that,” Lira replied.
“I know but if you don’t just ask because you think you have too much wealth, brother won’t make easy money because he loves you so much and you are still a favorite, so no matter what happens to him, just get the money that can be given to you,” Franco replied.
“Is that right Franco and Lira as well as during the meal you will argue. We must work together now.” Lora said.
“Sister! You mentioned to me yesterday that you had seen sister Martha, Mrs. Natasha Roa, and sister Martha is one?”
“Ha?! Ah… yes, as far as I know, I can’t be wrong that she is.”
“So what do we plan to do? Shall we take sister Martha back to Mr. Roa?”
“That’s okay with your plan but we have to go through the process we have to solve the case first why did Martha go to Louie?” said Roel.
“I went to Abigail earlier, I ventured to find information on how Martha went to Mr. Roa. She said she didn’t know because her father didn’t say so. When she finds out, she will tell me.” Lora replied.
“When are you going back to the precinct sister?”
“Maybe tomorrow Franco.”
“I will go with you. I also want to know how my sister got to Mr. Roa. ”
“That’s better. Ah! Amer, won’t you visit us in the province?”
“Maybe when we’re not busy with work anymore, I’ll know that your house was taught to me by the residents there that I asked when I went there.” Said Amer.
That night ended with the realization of Amer’s true identity.
~~~~~
At the home of the Roa family.
Natasha was just in the room, she was sitting and looking in the mirror. She burst into tears when she saw herself in the mirror. That’s not what she wants to look like, she’s just pretending that her memory hasn’t come back yet but the truth is it’s been a long time coming back. She just wants to pretend to be a giant to Mr. Roa was her husband especially when she found out that her husband was responsible for why she had an accident.
Because she saw in CCTV footage the events before her accident, Louie did not erase that. So what she did was she copied it so that in case it was deleted or she denied she still had a copy.
She felt someone enter their room.
“Oh! Natasha, why are you still awake?”
She did not answer instead she left her seat and went to bed to sleep.
“You know Natasha I’m tired of your silence. I know you can talk, you just don’t want to talk and I feel like you’re just pretending. ” Said, Louie.
She doesn’t move because she wants her husband to be in trouble, to be depressed until she comes back to her senses.
It wasn’t time for him to expose so she just let Louie go.
~~~~~
When Naneth was on her way home because she didn’t ride with Gio, she noticed that it wasn’t the way to their apartment. She told the driver.
“Excuse me, sir, this is not the way to our house.” Said Naneth.
The driver did not speak it was still driving.
“Hey sir, are you deaf? Why did we go the other way? I gave you the way.”
She was starting to get nervous, who is this person because she doesn’t want to talk. She tried to call Gio in case her battery was empty.
“Sir, please speak up. I am pregnant and my pregnancy is difficult. I may give birth here in no time.” Naneth said again.
The driver still did not speak. They were turning into a narrow road, it was hollow2x so she said to slow down because she was pregnant. They stopped at a large gate.
“Man, where are we? Whose house is this?” Naneth was already very annoyed.
“I’ve been talking here before, you don’t answer me, talk to me. What is it?” when Naneth tapped the man he faced her and her eyes widened when she saw the male taxi driver.
Who is the taxi driver? Why was Naneth so shocked?
