"Cleo!! Cleos!! wait, I!!" Sandra managed to catch up to him.
"I'm sorry, San. But, I have to make sure of everything Nayla says." Cleo looked so panicked. His face was very pale.
"Lo doesn't have to beat him up. Lo, know for yourself what his mouth is." Sandra tried to calm him down.
"But what if what he said was true?" ask Cleo.
"Have you ever seen your father sick?" sandra asked, Cleo shook her head.
"Well, if that's why you believe the same words of that jerk girl" he said. "Easy! Just ignore the words." he persuaded, Cleo nodded weakly at him.
"But I still want to go home" he said.
"Well, I'll drive you home." They're walking towards the parking lot.
"You good?" sandra asked as soon as they reached Cleo's house.
"Yes." Yeah." Cleo tried to smile.
"If I go home. If anything, let me know." the message, Cleo hugged Sandra.
"Thank you!" he said, replace Sandra who nodded. After Cleo came out, Sandra immediately left the house.
"Why did he get home so soon, Non?" ask bi Ita. Cleo did not reply, she looked weak.
"What's up, Non?Is everything okay?" tanya bi Ita who saw the change in Cleo's attitude.
"Bi, have you been sick all this time?" ask Cleo.
"T-no. Who told that to Miss?" ask bi Ita. He tried to hide the shock from his face.
"Naila! He said dad would leave me for good." The tears he had held since then finally fell as well.
"That's not true, Non. He must have made up a story. Miss could see how healthy Master was." she lied, Cleo looked at him, trying to find honesty from his face.
"I'll go to the room first, Bi!" Cleo was confused, she did not know who she should trust. He wondered where Nayla got the news from.

"He must be lying! Mother could not have done such a lowly thing." Nayla had been pacing back and forth waiting for Aisyah's arrival. Until nightfall, Aisyah finally reached home.
"Mother from anywhere?" he asked after Aisyah sat down.
"Mother of Sandra's house." Aisyah filled the water into the glass and directly looked at it until it was not left. "What's wrong? Why are you telling me that?" tanyakanya.
"Mom, there's actually something I want to ask." Nayla looks doubtful.
"What's? You look very serious." Aisyah stared at him, waiting for what her daughter would ask
"W-does mom have a relationship with Sandra's dad?" tanyakanya. Aisyah who was drinking became choked upon hearing her question.
"What did you say?" tanyakanya.
"Are you playing with Panji?" ask carefully. He dared to ask all of that. Face knitting Ns
"That's impossible. Who told you that lie?" tanyakanya.
"Sandra" she replied, Nayla could see Aisyah becoming tense upon hearing her name Sandra.
"You don't have to believe it. You'll know for yourself what Sandra is. She hated mom because she was just a maid in her house." Aisha lied again.
"Mom is telling the truth?" tanyanya, Aisyah nodded.
"Thank God! I just don't like it if anyone says anything bad about mom." Nayla hugged Aisha's waist."
"Already! No need to think about it." Aisyah patted Nayla's back gently.
"Hallo!" answer the voice of the man from across, who is none other than Panji.
"Mas, we're in trouble." Aisha spoke as if whispering. Sometimes he looked inside the house, afraid that Nayla would hear him.
"What problem do you mean?" ask Panji.
"Nayla's already suspicious of us. He's asking for our relationship." he reported.
"Good, if he knows. We don't have to hide anymore. We can get married soon. I can't wait to be able to look at you every day." she wrote.
"I can't wait to be your wife. I miss you so much." Aisyah. "But I don't want Nayla to know first, just until she goes to college" he said.
"You take it easy, I can confirm this." Panji promised him.
"So, is that all true? You really cheated on me with Papa Sandra?" Nayla still could not believe what she had just heard. Nayla closed the door of her room, when she heard Aisyah closing the door.
"I didn't expect that kind of mother. What do you get by doing that?" Nayla seemed to think. She was both embarrassed and angry. Because all of Sandra's ucaoan was proven right.
"But if you get married, it's good. I don't have to live hard like this. I can be free to do anything. And most importantly, I can shut that arrogant Sandra's mouth. With mother marrying her father, Sandra will be my brother, and she will no longer be able to mess with me." Nayla smiled cynically. He had already laid out a plan from now on.

"What do you want to say?" just as Adam was coming home, bi Ita had been following him since he got home.
"S-me .." bi Ita looks confused.
"What's wrong? Just say!" Adam looked towards him.
"Look, Sir. Last time, miss asked about your health." Adam stopped his hand that was taking clothes out of his bag.
"You mean?" tanyakanya.
"Miss asks if master ever got sick" she explained.
"Why did he suddenly ask that?" Adam demanded an answer from him.
"Naila! He told the lady that you were leaving the lady for good." Adam clenched his hand.
"That kid! What does he know? You make sure Cleo doesn't know anything. I don't want him to believe the boy's words." he said.
"But sir, when will you keep all this a secret from Miss? Hearing Nayla's words, miss was already so sad." bi Ita reminded her again.
"That's why I don't want him to know. He can't let me know that I don't live long anymore."
"BRAK." they were shocked when they saw Cleo opening the door loudly.
"What does father mean? So, what did Nayla say was true?" Cleo sounded emotional.
"N-no, it's not like you heard." Adam denies.
"Well, when did you lie to me? Am I not important m, so I don't need to know father's condition?" Cleo's furious.
"Non, relax!" Bi Ita tried to stop him.
"I'm doing fine. Your friend just made up the story." lied.
"Dad lied! I've heard everything. Dad just told me to go far away. It turns out that my guess has been right all along, I'm a nobody to dad. I'm just a kid you never expected. From the time I was a child until now, my father never thought of me as a child. I hate you!" Cleo ran out, she picked up the key of her motorbike located on the living room table.
"Cleo!!" Adam shouted, holding his left chest. "Cle ..."
"CRUMBLE!!"
"Master!! Master!!" bi Ita was shouting hysterically.
