Zaneta is a successful company leader and has been a single mother for 2 years at the age of almost thirty. But unfortunately, behind the success she achieved, Zaneta still prefers to be alone and is not yet willing to open her heart to another man. Luna, Zaneta's mother, always urges her only child to remarry and find a new father for Boy, especially given her own serious illness. Until finally, an unexpected event occurred, and this became the only main way to end all the romantic problems she was experiencing. Zaneta hired a man she met at the hospital to be her boyfriend and introduced him to her mom. After spending a long time together, they both became closer. At the moment they were getting closer, Zaneta's ex-husband returned to their lives. Is Zaneta capable of fully opening her heart? Who will stand by Zaneta and become her partner forever?
Chapter 1 Pressured to Marry
"You should find a partner as soon as possible, poor Boy needs love from a father, don't keep getting busy with work until you rarely pay attention to your own child," said Zaneta's mother.
Zaneta, who was devouring her breakfast, immediately stopped eating, frowned, and said, "Mom, I work my fingers to the bone every day for Boy, for his future too. My ex-husband has no responsibility at all for his child, so I have to fight alone, Mom. Mommy thinks I'm happy going out in the morning and coming back at night every day, never meeting my own child, Mommy thinks I'm comfortable like this." Zaneta's tears fell after uttering a sentence she had never thought of before.
"Mommy just wants the best for you and Boy, why are you getting so angry like this, are you crazy!" Zaneta's mother snapped.
"Mommy, if you're tired of taking care of Boy, just say so. There's no need to keep using that excuse to judge me in this house," said Zaneta. They both continued to argue fiercely with raised voices. Blaming each other and sticking to their own positions.
Zaneta continues to provide reasonable explanations that also represent her innermost feelings. Meanwhile, Mommy doesn't want to lose either, using her illness as an excuse to make Zaneta relent. Even though she had often been given such advice, Zaneta felt she was right without ever listening at all.
Since the divorce and having one child, Zaneta returned to her parents' house and lived with them. Unfortunately, Zaneta's father has passed away, and she only has her mother left in the family. Zaneta's mother felt sorry for her only child and allowed Zaneta to stay here again with Boy.
Many people say that Zaneta is a beautiful and wealthy widow. But unfortunately, men approach her only for her wealth, not out of genuine love, just like her ex-husband did. Fights like this have often happened in this house, and there was even a time when Zaneta ran away from home and left her child. Zaneta feels pressured and almost goes crazy hearing her mother suggest she remarry.
Zaneta got up from her seat after a quarrel with her mother without saying goodbye. Zaneta's mother clutched her chest, holding back the pain, tears fell uncontrollably as she watched her child's increasingly bold behavior day by day.
Zaneta drove the car at high speed while still sobbing uncontrollably. Until finally, Zaneta's car brakes couldn't be controlled and the steering wheel was turned, crashing into a power pole. Zaneta's car immediately started smoke, the front bumper was damaged, and she lost consciousness.
Zaneta's eyes slowly opened, her head still feeling dizzy, as she observed every corner of the room. Suddenly, a tall, slightly stocky adult man approached her with a faint smile.
"Are you awake?" What do you feel now? said the man.
"My head is still spinning, but why am I here?" And who are you?" asked Zaneta curiously.
"I'm Maxime, just call me Max, I was the one who helped you during the accident." "I'll call your family so they can come here right away," replied Maxime.
"Eh, no need, I'm fine, thank you for helping me. By the way, what time is it? I have to go to the office now because there's an important meeting with a client," Zaneta said while trying to get up and remove the infusion attached to her hand.
Because Zaneta was still weak, she couldn't stand upright, and as a result, she fell. Maxime immediately embraced Zaneta's body with both arms. In this atmosphere, Zaneta and Maxime's eyes met, focused without blinking. After a long time, Zaneta dared to look at the man whose identity she did not know. Five minutes passed, and finally, they both realized.
"You're still weak, let me take you to the office, if you don't mind my offer," said Maxime. Zaneta was taken aback by the words of the man she had only just met a few minutes ago. While she was thinking, Zaneta's phone suddenly rang loudly, filling the entire room. How shocked Zaneta was to hear the news that her mother was hospitalized due to a heart attack. Zaneta immediately rushed out, but her body was weak and unable to walk.
Maxime carried Zaneta from the front and escorted her to her mother's room, fortunately, her mother was being treated in the same hospital as Zaneta. Zaneta's interest in the man who had once disappeared has resurfaced since she met Maxime.
Zaneta could only see her mother through the glass window of the ICU, her condition was very critical and required intensive care. Zaneta did not expect that her argument this morning would worsen her mother's condition. Zaneta felt guilty and kept sobbing.
Maxime embraced Zaneta warmly, wiping the tears that stained her cheeks. Zaneta, still in shock from the incident, hugged Maxime tightly, as she only needed a shoulder to lean on to strengthen her heart.
Zaneta, who is still distraught over what happened, hasn't even thought about Boy's condition. So, who is Boy with? Will Mrs. Zaneta's condition improve or get worse?
