"Aiden and I got married two years ago. Keara also knew about it and the Atmajaya Family didn't hide our marriage from her. But then she got pregnant with Aiden's child. Did she purposely want me to divorce Aiden and give my position to her? Did she want to destroy my marriage on purpose?" Anya said without any mercy.
"What?" Indah was speechless in her place, having difficulty answering. "You... You two are married?"
"Since I've told you everything, I want to ask you something. Two years ago, you and sister Maria underwent a DNA test, right? At that time, an informant said that he found a girl who might be the daughter of either of you. Do you know the result?" Anya asked.
"I heard that Maria found her daughter. I was really hopeful at that time, but it turned out that the child was not mine so I fell sick again," Indah said.
"Did Keara tell you who that child is?" Anya asked again.
"I don't know. She said the Atmajaya Family hid it and didn't make it public."
Anya took a deep breath and said, "That child is me."
"How could it be?" Indah immediately denied. "You're ..."
"What's wrong with it?"
Indah did not continue. She was very sure that Anya was Galih's daughter because she really looked like Keara.
She always imagined that her husband had a child with Diana, and that child was Anya.
And Keara, the child she'd been raising all these years, wasn't her biological daughter.
Worse yet, her real daughter died. Her life was really sad.
Indah didn't want to tell Anya the truth because she didn't want Anya to fight over the inheritance of the Pratama Family with Keara.
Even though Keara was not her biological child, she was her sister's child whom she had raised since childhood. Indah preferred Keara to inherit all of Galih's legacy.
"You have your own parents. How could you be Maria's child?" Indah immediately changed her words.
"My mother did have a daughter, but the child died as soon as she was born. My grandmother adopted me. Two years ago, Keara found out that Aiden and I were married. To separate Aiden and me, she and Toni Srijaya worked together to manipulate the DNA test results and tried to convince everyone that I was the missing daughter of the Atmajaya Family," Anya said calmly while watching the expression on Indah's face.
She was also worried that Indah would not be able to comprehend this at once and fell sick again.
What if Indah suddenly fainted? Anya didn't want to take responsibility!
Indah felt her heartbeat elevated and her breathing getting faster.
"You left Aiden two years ago because the Atmajaya Family mistook you for Maria's child?" Indah tried to confirm Anya's story.
"Yes. At that time, I was pregnant too and I had to lose my child. During the past two years, Ms. Maria regretted the incident and blamed herself. But she'd found her real daughter not long ago,"
Anya couldn't help but smile bitterly on her face. "Aiden and I loved each other, but we had to be separated for two years because of someone's vile intention. The child in my womb was also innocent. Auntie, I just wanted to tell you that you will never be able to save Toni or Keara. I will never give Aiden to Keara. I'm sure Aiden wouldn't let the killer of our child become pregnant with his child either. As for how Keara could get pregnant with the child, you better ask her yourself."
Indah thought back to the Atmajaya Family's attitude towards Keara. Bima also ordered people to arrest Toni. It seemed that everything Anya said was true.
How could the Atmajaya Family not hate Keara after knowing what she did to the DNA test results? It was the cause of Anya and Aiden's separation and they also lost their child for that. That would mean the Atmajaya Family lost their unborn member.
Now that Toni had been caught, it seemed that Keara would meet the same fate soon.
After arranging her thoughts for a while, Indah finally managed to control her shock. She got up and bowed to Anya. "Anya, I'm really sorry for all my words just now. I am sorry. It was Keara who had made a big mistake and caused a lot of suffering to the Atmajaya Family as well as you. I am really, really sorry."
Anya immediately got up and helped Indah to sit back down. "Auntie, I always respect you. I even dream of becoming an elegant and sincere woman like you. Don't blame yourself for Keara's deeds. You have to take care of your health properly."
"I hope you can find your parents," Indah patted Anya's shoulder. She took the beautiful flower bouquet and left the cafe with her assistant.
…
Around 4 pm, Keara brought a bouquet of flowers and went to visit her mother at the hospital. But Indah's assistant immediately stopped her.
"Madame does not wish to see you now. Please go." The assistant spoke in a very formal manner.
"How dare you stop me? Get out of MY way!" Keara insisted to step in, she had to see her mother no matter what.
Galih was really angry with her because of her pregnancy problem. He no longer believed in Keara and was very disappointed in her.
Now, her mother was the only person who still defended her. Keara must win her mother's heart.
"Miss, Madame met Miss Anya this afternoon and she found out about everything," the assistant said.
"What?" Keara was surprised. "Why did she meet Anya?"
"Madame loves you and the child in your belly very much. She met Miss Anya and asked her to leave Mr. Aiden for your happiness. But she did not think that you turned out to be someone with such an ill intention to destroy others' marriage. And Madame also found out that you did not conceive this child together with Aiden, but through artificial insemination. Madame is very sad right now and doesn't want to see you. You better go home," the assistant explained.
In the room, Indah wiped her tears looking sad and heartbroken. She thought back to Keara when she was a child, so innocent and kind.
She had worked hard to raise Keara to be a good woman.
But it turned out that the safety of her mother was no more valuable than her love for a man.
Keara knew that Anya and Aiden were married, but she still wanted to destroy their marriage and bore Aiden's child.
And what hurt Indah even more was that the child in Keara's womb turned out to be the result of artificial insemination. That meant Keara purposely wanted to avoid saving her mother by using this pregnancy.
Indah considered Keara to be her own daughter, the kind and gentle child she had raised all along. But how could her daughter do such a cruel thing?
Look at what she had done. She changed the results of DNA tests and made Aiden and Anya divorce and lose their child.
They had to be separated for two years. And yet Keara still couldn't get Aiden's heart during those two years. Alas, she still wanted to conceive Aiden's child in the wrong way.
What Anya said was true. How could Aiden let his child's killer carry his own child?
Aiden never touched Keara, but she got pregnant all of a sudden. Keara did everything just to win a man's heart. Did she never think of her family?
Indah was very ashamed of her daughter's actions.
"Mother, don't believe what Anya said to you! She lied to you, Mom…" Keara didn't want to go and kept screaming from the front door.
Indah felt so angry and finally decided to call her husband, telling Galih to throw Keara out of her room.
"Indah, don't be too emotional. You have to take care of your health," Galih said.
"I have failed to educate Keara. She has hurt Anya and the Atmajaya Family. Galih, there's no need to take care of my brother's problem. He is responsible for his own actions. Let him face justice and see how karma works. As for Keara, she's not my child so I won't blame her if she doesn't want to donate her liver to me," Indah said coldly.
