A month has passed after Bisma and Karina attend a baby welcome event Nara and Alex are named Sakka Darius Juantama. During this one month, as Andra had said if he and Karina would meet often. Coincidentally they met in the corridor, sometimes in the lobby, and several times they were in the same elevator. Most often they meet in the park. Karina and Bhishma were walking and Andra was jogging.
At each of these meetings, Bhishma was the one who disliked it most. Bhishma finds a way to prevent Karina from meeting Andra.
"Tumben alone. Where's Lord Bisma?" Karina lifted her head.
"Eh mr. Andra. Today there is an important meeting outside the city. So early in the morning it's gone." Answer Karina. Karina is currently taking a break after a walk in the park. Karina sits on a park bench. Andra also just finished jogging and will return to the apartment.
"Oh so. Karina rest here?"
"Yes. I'm tired of coming back."
"How many months is Karina?"
"Five months. Pray for good luck."
"Well, it's big. Sure oes. I'll pray for you."
"Thank you."
"Either. Yes, I came back first. It's noon. Later to the office. Karina is also back soon. Don't get wind for long." Said Andra before leaving Karina alone.
Andra sighed. If Karina were his sister, he would be very happy. Unfortunately, one month ago he received a report from a private detective he hired that his sister was dead.
When he found out about it, Andra wanted to be completely unbelieving. But when reading the detective's report, he inevitably had to accept if his sister was dead.
Actually Andra had wanted to stay away from Karina when she knew the truth. But he still refused to stay away. Andra loved Karina as her sister.

"When are you home?" Karina asked as Bisma contacted her via vidio call. Usually, if out of town Bisma not to stay overnight. But today Bisma has not come home until almost dinner.
"I'm sorry. Looks like this mam I can't go home." I don't know why Karina couldn't hold back her tears.
"Hey why are you crying?" Bisma immediately panicked.
"I don't know. Suddenly I want to cry." Karina replied with difficulty in between her sobs.
"Don't cry dong. I wouldn't have to."
"Hurry home, my mother."
"It can still go home, baby. Sorry yeah. I'm home tomorrow." Bhishma was full of guilt.
"Yes. Actually I'm okay. But I also don't know why I cry."
"That means you miss me."
"Maybe. How will I be tonight? I've been sleeping a little bit too hard."
"Some one can't separate."
"Mas ih's. I'm serious about this. What if I throw up again tomorrow morning?"
"will not. Our baby is already big. It's not bad anymore." Karina nodded. "Let's ask bi Eni to accompany you." Bisma.
"Yes already. I still have business. You don't sleep at night. Tomorrow morning I leave here. That's when I'm gonna go home."
"Yes mas. Be careful there too." Bisma nodded before turning off her phone connection.
Bisma sighed. He felt guilty for Karina. Andi who was beside him only looked at Bisma elaborately.
"Master, how now?"
"How else? It's come this far." Bhishma said as he walked ahead of Andi entering a room dominated by white.
Inside the room, a three-year-old boy lay on top of him. Eyes closed. In his left hand was an infusion hose. The little girl's face looked very pale. Beside him, a young woman was waiting for him.
"Where have you been all this time? Don't you know if everyone's looking for you?" The bisma stood not far from the woman. The room is narrow. There was only one chair there. Andi stood behind him.
"I'm pregnant. I'm ashamed of everyone." My lady is Vera. Nara's best friend who has been missing for a long time.
"Where is your son's father?"
Vera shook her head. "I don't know."
Bisma sighed. In the past, he did not know Vera very well. But seeing Vera like this made him sympathize.
"Huh. So what to do now?"
This afternoon, when he just finished a meeting with his client Bisma accidentally met Vera who was a waiter at the restaurant where Bisma was meeting. Vera who accidentally hit Bisma to make the suit worn by the man was dirty.
Vera still worked a few days as a waiter at the restaurant. And because the incident was not snegaja, he again had to lose his job. Previously Vera worked oddly. After giving birth to her daughter three years ago, Vera is still working as a male needs peddler. But as time went on, Vera thought that this would not be good for her daughter's development. After that Vera gradually began to move away from the world of women less moral.
Vera starts looking for a side job to fulfill her needs and also her daughter. Only a few months ago Vera was completely separated from the work that is not halal. Vera has found a job she thinks is right for her. But the job only lasted a few months until someone recognized him and exposed his dark past to get him fired.
Repeatedly similar events occur until Vera had wanted to give up and return to the night world that had given her a daughter. Vera repeatedly went in and out of work. It only lasts three months at most. And Vera is getting used to it.
But fate is like playing Vera. When Vera accepts her fate, Jihan falls ill and after being examined, doctors say she suffers from diabetes symptoms that may be passed down from her father.
Of course this makes Vera more down and feel guilty for her daughter. But the rice has become porridge. All Vera can do is give the best care for her child.
"Go back to Jakarta. Everyone loves you." Bhishma's speech draws Vera from her reverie.
"I'm so ashamed of Bhishma. I'll only be a burden if I come back."
"Then what is your son? Who takes care of him while you work?" Vera silent. He kept his son with his neighbor all this time. But a few days ago when Jihan entered the hospital and she came home to take care of her needs while there, Vera was expelled from the rented house she had been in. He stayed in the hospital for a few days.
"Let's see, I'll get you an apartment. There's a Mahardika branch here. I'll get people to prepare jobs for you. Come and tell me if I told you to. They'll know later." Bhishma knew Vera had just been evicted from her contract and had been in the hospital all along. But he's unlikely to continue living there. After Jihan recovers, they should also have a place to stay.
"Thank you brother. Sister Bisma is very good. Nara's very corny having a sister like Bhishma's sister."
"You're actually lucky, too. Have friends who care about you. Nara and your other two friends never stop looking for you. They're still looking for information about your whereabouts."
"Sister, please don't tell them where I am. I'm not ready to face them."
"alright. But you can't keep doing this. They love you unconditionally. They'll accept you no matter what."
"Thank you brother."
"alright. Then I'll say goodbye. I'll stay at the hotel tonight." Vera nodded. "This is my business card. If there's anything you can call me."
"Again thanks."
"Hem." Bisma. Then get out of Jihan's nursery along with Andi.
"Have you got it?" Bhishma asked Andi as soon as they came out of the room.
"It has. It's not far from the Mahardika branch office."
"good job. Do not forget to contact the branch head to prepare a job vacancy with a large salary. Vera needs money now. If I give him directly, he'll refuse."
"I understand." Andi nodded in understanding.
