"Al, tell me Umi. Who made Al's body like this, son ?"

Al kept shaking. She insists on not wanting to tell Dee who did this to her. The crying did not stop. The word pain always comes from his mouth. This boy vented everything to Dee. Seeking comfort and peace in his arms.

"If Al doesn't want to tell Umi, how can we stop him, son. It's a rascal, Al," said Dee gently hugging the fragile body of his beloved son.

"No, Umi. This is all about naughty Al, hiks. He said Al was beaten when Al had no mouth of his ruler. He said, if Al is naughty, Umi will be hit more. Al love the Umi. Therefore, Al said that he was bial Al aja who was hit, not Umi, hyks," Al replied with a hiccup in his cry.

"Al, sorry Umi, son. Umi promises not to leave Al again. Al will always be near Umi. So will Umi who will always be there for Al," said Dee calm Al in his tears.

"Al, say the same Umi, son. Who made the wound on the body of Umi's favorite child ?" ask Dee again.

"Hiks, torment" Al still shook his head in tears.

Umi promised, son. Anyone who does this will be rewarded by Allah. Al is Sholeh Umi's son. After this, there are only parts and beautiful smiles in the lives of Al, Umi and Abi.

Monologue Dee in heart. His heart hurt even more to see his son's wounds, than to the wounds of his own body. Even this was more crowded than any pain he had ever experienced.

"Al," called Dee because she no longer heard the sound of her son crying. There was no response from Al. Dee lowered her head looking at Al. A soft snoring came out of Al's mouth, indicating that the child was asleep. Crying makes him tired.

Today Dee gets both happy and sick. Happy to know that the child he always missed loved him more than he ever imagined. But Dee felt pain, seeing the sacrifice of her son for the love and affection of Dee.

Dee gently stroked Al's head giving him comfort to make him more restful. Dee called the driver to pick them up. Dee wants to lift Al up on her own, but the wounds on her body and Al's body don't allow her to do that.

Sleep, son. Hopefully after this we get the greatest happiness, until we forget how it feels to be sick and hurt. Dee looked at the beautiful and peaceful face of her son while sleeping.

Not long after that, the driver came and approached Dee. Dee asked the driver to lift Al carefully. Arriving in the car, Dee put Al in his lap. Gently brush her son's thick hair.

While in his office, Ibra is now busy with a stack of files that he must check. After talking with Kevin and Agam, Ibra was back in the bus with important papers for his company. While Kevin back in his room to continue his work and Agam who left because there are other needs. Ibra's hand was holding the paper. But his mind could not focus, because it was still remembered by the incident at Al school.

"During this time, Al has always been close to Naina. Is it possible that Naina knows something ? I have to ask Naina this" Ibra said.

Ibra picked up the phone on her desk, then called Naina.

Naina who was currently busy with her own thoughts gasped in shock at the sound of the phone on her desk. Without a second thought, Naina immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello, Nai. The room is now !" ibra's voice resolutely asked Naina to come to his room. Not yet Naina opened her voice, Ibra had already disconnected the phone first.

"What's up ? how is Ibra's voice so serious ?" ask Naina to herself. Not wanting Ibra to get upset, Naina just knocked on the door of Ibra's room. After getting an answer from inside, Naina immediately opened the door and entered Ibra's room.

"No need to be formal, Nai. I called you here as a friend" Ibra smiled.

Naina nodded. "alright. Is there anything important that makes you look unsettled like this ?" tanya Naina saw the look on Ibra's face.

Ibra. "Over the years, you helped me take care of Al during Dee's imprisonment. You're close to him, even Al is more often with you than with me" Ibra said.

"Yes, then ?" ask Naina.

"Did Al ever tell you anything about Dee ?" ask Ibra.

Naina nodded. "Yes, she always said that she loved Uminya," Naina replied lightly hearing Ibra's question.

"Nothing else ?" tanya Ibra made sure.

Naina nodded. "Over with me, that's all Al said if I told him about Uminya. He always said that, Uminya is a good person," Naina said.

"Look, Nai. All this time the one who was close to Al was you. He sees you as his mother's replacement. Al's sudden change of attitude after Dee got out of prison, really baffled me. And that incident at his school proved my guess to be true, that Al was just pretending to hate his mother. There must have been someone who threatened or told him to do that" Ibra explained the content of his thoughts to Naina.

"You mean ?"

"Ekhem," Ibra cleared his throat before continuing. "Look, Nai. I hope you're not offended by my words. I just wanted to ask, did you ever say anything or have Al do that to, Dee ? Because what I've seen all this time Al has always been close to you" Ibra said carefully. He was afraid that Naina would be offended by his words.

Naina remained calm. He smiled before answering Ibra's words. "I love Al sincerely. I give a mother's affection to her, I always fill the emptiness of her heart, when her own mother is not nearby. I often drive and pick her up to school. I always taught her something nice. Is it possible for me to threaten my own son, and give him discomfort ? I was also a little confused to see Al's attitude towards Dee. Something must be wrong?" answer Naina.

Ibra felt guilty for asking Naina this. Naina must be impossible to do this, he thought.

"You take it easy Ib, don't be afraid. I'm not offended at all. Because I never did that. I know, you're going to ask me this, for sure" Naina replied, seeing Ibra's change in countenance.

"Sorry, Nai. I was just confused by everything that happened" Ibra said regretfully.

Naina smiled meaningfully hearing the regret coming out of Ibra's mouth.
