After undergoing surgery, Yuna briefly regained consciousness and begged her parents to hide her whereabouts and hand over their three children to Gerald. Initially, Yuna's parents refused, especially Yogi, who felt guilty for his actions that led to Yuna having to make a deal with Frans to secure her freedom.To honor Yuna's wishes, her entire family cooperated to claim that Yuna had passed away. They then took her far away to a remote village once her condition improved. Yuna was fortunate because her paralysis was due to her pregnancy.A bit of the backstory on his encounter with Gerald: he had deployed all his men to find out Yuna's whereabouts. Eventually, someone reported that Yuna was still alive, residing in a villa in a remote village.Upon learning this, Gerald immediately searched for the villa and found Yuna sitting in a wheelchair, gazing at the lush Pine forest beside the villa.Seeing Yuna's sacrifices and her current condition, Gerald felt overwhelming guilt. As a resu
"Why did you divorce her, and why are you telling me all this now? Who am I to you, Ger? You've been lying to me for years." Bianca gritted her teeth in frustration, letting out her pent-up anger at Gerald.As she had feared all along, Bianca was furious about the lies Gerald had hidden from her for years."I didn't want to force her. As I've told you, Yuna is paralyzed now. I didn't want to press her because I was afraid she'd run away again. Please understand my situation."Bianca nodded. "Alright then, Ger. Here's the deal. I won't be angry with you as long as you answer my questions honestly and take me to see Yuna tomorrow.""Of course, my love. I'll do as you wish."Bianca closed her eyes. "Why did you divorce her?""I had no choice. Both her parents didn't want to have anything to do with me. If I refused, they would have taken the twins from me. And to see Yuna, I'll take you there tomorrow morning. Pray that she hasn't moved again. Since I found out she's still alive, she's m
What mother wouldn't want to meet her children, those she had carried in her womb for nine months, risking her life to bring into the world?"Tell me what you want!"Once again, Yogi gave in. This question had been asked countless times by him."Don't ask anymore. My wish will remain the same until I die: to live and die alone. That's the only way I can be happy.""Alright. So, what do I do now?""Go! I want to stay here. I'm sure that after what happened earlier, no one will come to see me again. So go, Kak. Find your happiness. Aren't you getting married soon? And one message for you: take care of your wife, even if it's an arranged marriage. Learn to love her. Forget about Veronica. You deserve to be happy too." Yuna turned her wheelchair and went back inside the house.In that simple house, Yuna lived with two household assistants and a personal driver, who happened to be the child of one of the household assistants.Yogi had nothing more to say. He only followed Yuna's wishes so
"As you know, Gibran is my secretary at the office. And I want to set him up with Vanya as a way to redeem myself for my mistakes with Yuna...""Yuna?" Gerald interrupted at the end of the call. After all these years, he finally heard that name again. Yuna. His ex-wife who had given him three children at once. Until now, he and Bianca had enjoyed happiness, living in their old age surrounded by beautiful and handsome children. Even now, Sabrina was already helping him manage the company.Gerald remained silent, absorbing the weight of their past mistakes and the current situation Yuna was facing. It was clear that they all bore responsibility for the isolation Yuna now endured, cut off from her family. Fortunately, Yuna had taken in a young child who had accidentally found his way into her home, seeking refuge from an angry mob after stealing a piece of bread. That same child had become her caretaker and protector.In the past, Gerald had indeed tasked his trusted associates with keep
"My daughter loves Gibran," Gerald stated without beating around the bush, immediately sharing Sabrina's confession with Frans."But Gibran doesn't love my daughter," Gerald continued before Frans could respond to his first statement."So, they do know each other?" Frans inquired, seeking clarification.Gerald nodded. "Yes, they know each other. However, there's nothing between them. More precisely, Gibran doesn't acknowledge my daughter's existence, while Sabrina has confessed her feelings to your secretary," he explained, running a hand over his face."…and if I may ask, Frans, please cancel the arranged marriage between Vanya and Gibran. I beg you. Let Sabrina pursue it instead. After all, your daughter doesn't love him, right?" Gerald added."You're right, Ger. At least there is love from Sabrina to Gibran. Rather than arranging a marriage between them where there's no love at all. And perhaps Gibran accepted this arrangement because he's respectful toward me."Frans chuckled, ima
Gibran had even introduced Vanya to Yuna, his adoptive mother. Initially, their meetings went smoothly and well. But after Gibran told Yuna who Vanya really was, she immediately asked her foster son to leave Vanya. Yuna wanted nothing to do with Frans and Veronica.However, every time Yuna refused to meet Vanya and forbade Gibran to do so, Vanya persisted and ignored the rejection. This persistence eventually melted Yuna's heart, and she began to prepare herself for the possibility of Gibran marrying Vanya. For now, she had asked Vanya to keep their relationship and Gibran's identity a secret until both of them were ready for marriage.But now, Gibran felt that everything he had fought for was in vain. After ignoring him for a week, Vanya had come to meet him and stated that she wanted to end their relationship. Not only that, but Vanya also asked Gibran to accept Sabrina as his future wife.Sabrina, whom Gibran had met during Vanya's birthday party. Observing her interaction with Sab
"Ma, please, I beg you. This won't take long," Gibran pleaded again. He assumed that Yuna's shock was due to sharing in the pain he felt from what Vanya had done to him."Give me some time to think. This is too sudden," Yuna immediately reached for her wheelchair. Without seeking Gibran's assistance, she tried to get onto the wheelchair herself."Ma..." Gibran stopped Yuna and gently lifted her, then placed her on the wheelchair. He sat on the floor before her."Please don't be angry, Ma," he implored."Give me some time to think. Time to gather the courage to reopen these old wounds. Not about you, but about me.""What do you mean, Ma?""Take me to my room. I need time and courage to reopen these wounds that have never healed," Yuna's vacant gaze pulled her back into the past. A time when her youth was shattered abruptly. She would need immense strength to share those memories with Gibran."Alright, Ma. I'll wait until you're ready. And I hope this won't be a burden on you. If you do
Gibran's brow furrowed. “You said? Why does he say? Wasn't Mama the one who gave birth? But now why does it seem like mom has doubts about them?"“I've never once touched your sister. Never mind touching it. Never seen it before. Because after giving birth to the three of them, I was unconscious and as soon as consciousness dawned on me, I asked your grandfather and uncle to say that I had died. So that Gerald can calmly take your sister and no one gets hurt between me and Bianca."“But here Mama is the one who is hurt. Away from the three younger siblings and I'm sure Mama loves Sabrina's father.""You're right." Yuna smiled bitterly. Love? Ah, of course she really loves Gerald. Really love it, actually. The proof is that until now Yuna doesn't want to have a legitimate husband. Even though her previous lover wanted to make her his wife. The man was willing to accept all Yuna's shortcomings, because he was aware of Yuna's sacrifice for him.This rejection made Yuna's parents even mor
