Cleon takes Alula to campus and waits for Alula to finish her work. Alula is only delivering a list of recap of student grades who follow SP to major. After that, Alula immediately rushed to go home because she was afraid Kai would return to their home.
Alula was escorted back by Cleon to get to her house. As Cleon's car passed through a field and a bridge, Alula stopped the car.
"Cleon, stop!"
"What's up, Al?" Cleon stopped the car.
"I want some ice cream over there!" Alula pointed to the ice cream seller who was serving buyers in the field next to the bridge. Cleon looked at Alula who was gulping her saliva when she saw the children who were licking the ice.
"You're having a cravings?"
"I don't know."
"alright. Let's go get that ice cream!" Cleon parked his car in a field near the bridge.
"The chocolate flavor is one with Blueberry and vanilla topping one with Granolla topping!" Cleon.
"Do you remember?" Alula turned to Cleon. He was shocked that Cleon still remembered his favorite ice cream.
"Of course," Cleon smiled.
Cleon also took ice cream stored in a waffle cone container that the seller recommended. Then he immediately paid for the ice cream.
"This is for you!" Cleon gave one vanilla-flavored ice cream with a Granolla topping to Alula.
"Thank you Cleon," Alula walked over the seemingly deserted bridge. Cleon seemed to be following Alula. Alula looked towards the water flowing under the bridge while eating her ice cream. Tears melted back on her cheeks when she remembered Kai.
"You crying?"
"No, I'm not crying. My eyes were just twinkling," Alula wagged her hands to dry her eyes.
"Do you remember the movie we saw together?" Cleon looked at Alula's face.
"What movie?" Alula's eyes seemed inundated with tears ready to be shed.
"The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. In the film, Gandalf said I would not say don't cry, because not all tears are bad" Cleon imitated Gandalf's remarks in The Lord Of The Rings.
"So, cry if you want to cry!" Cleon. Alula came closer and sniffled in Cleon's chest. Cleon patted Alula's head gently.
"Cleon, my heart hurts so much when Kai doesn't trust me!" Alula sobbed to make Cleon's work coat wet with her tears.
"Why should I fall in love with her if it ends up being like this?" Tears grew more and more unstoppable out of Alula's eyes.
"Kai said he doesn't want to live with me anymore. What about my son? Will he never have the love of his father?" Alula said with a sigh.
"I can't think if I live without it" Alula said.
"You're thinking too far. Kai's just gonna need some time" Cleon calmed down.
"Al, if I had prevented you from marrying Kai in the past, you probably wouldn't have felt this way. I used to be so stupid for letting you marry Kai, "the inner Cleon in his heart.
"Wah very romantic show," someone seemed to be clapping. Alula turned to the source of the voice. Alula saw her husband there.
"Kai?" Call Alula.
"Not one day before we split up, but you've been making out with this guy" Kai smiled cynically, but not with his heart. His heart was so burning jealous of seeing his wife with another man let alone that man was Cleon.
"Kai, Cleon and I didn't do anything" Alula walked up to Kai. She tries to touch her husband's arm, but Kai violently brushes Alula's hand.
"You don't be rude to him!" Cleon clutched Kai's collar.
"What is your business?" Kai clasped back the collar of Cleon's shirt wrapped in a suit.
"Cleon, already!!" Alula tried to break up their quarrel. Cleon let go of his hand.
"I'm so sorry I married you. If I hadn't married you, my father wouldn't be in a coma right now" Kai looked at Alula with an irate look. Then he looked at Cleon.
"Get ! Take this woman! I was very satisfied with his body. You can take my marks!" Kai deliberately let out hurtful words, so that Alula hurt with his words. He is jealous at the moment.
"YOU!!!" Cleon immediately punched Kai in the face with his hand until Kai fell on the ground.
"You don't know if your wife is ha-h"
"Cleon already!" Alula cut Cleon's speech.
Kai immediately got up and walked towards Alula. He immediately pulled the necklace wrapped around Alula's neck. The necklace was a gift necklace from him, while they were vacationing at Watergate Bay beach.
"Oh, what are you doing?" Alula screaming.
"It's not worth wearing anymore!!" Kai threw the necklace bearing the symbol of K on the ground. Then Kai passed from there.
"Berds*k you!" Cleon was about to chase Kai to hit him back, but Alula held him back.
Alula crouched down and took the necklace. Alula cries again while holding the necklace that Kai threw.
"Al, I'm sick to see you like this !" Cleon looked at Alula who was crying.

Alden and Nino come to the scene when William is injured in his car. They immediately went down and looked around.
"There are many shops facing the highway. Surely they have CCTV footage" Alden told Nino.
They also entered one by one the shops in front of and across the street. But their answers are the same. They say that their shop's CCTVs mysteriously disappeared and disappeared together.
"I've guessed. Something's wrong with all this. If it is Alula, of course he does not need to do all this because he has been recorded by the car dashcam," Nino concluded.
"You're right, No," Alden agreed.
"I saw om William found near the bus stop means right in front of this florist," Nino gave her analysis.
"You're right. But I'm sure the florist has lost her CCTV, too" Alden was desperate.
"We'll just go first. What harm?" Nino immediately walked towards the flower shop that was opening today. Alden followed behind him. Someone seemed to be following them, it was the confidant of Arabella's father. They were asked to check back at the flower shop next to the bus stop.
"His master!" Nino and Alden walked into the flower shop, as did the person who followed them. The person seemed to be picking flowers but his gaze was watching over Nino and Alden.
"Piang. What flowers are you looking for?" A man answered with glasses.
"We're not looking for flowers, but we want to ask you something. It's very important" Nino said. It seems that Nino is serving as the speaker today.
"alright. We'll sit over there!" The man who owned the flower shop pointed to a chair inside the store.
"So what do you want to ask?" Ask the shop owner when they are already sitting down.
"Sir, did you know yesterday there was a stabbing incident in front of your store?" Nino looked at the man's face seriously.
"Yes. I knew. Then?"
"We're looking for the stabbing man."
"Hasn't the perpetrator been caught? I was watching the news this morning, "the owner of the store meant that Edward was prepared to be a false suspect in Kai's errand.
"No. He's not the culprit. The police caught people wrong, "Nino gave an excuse to be easily digested by the middle-aged man.
"really? So what can I do for you?"
"Do you have CCTV in this flower shop?"
The person following them seemed to be listening carefully.
"Say no!" Nino gave a gesture with her lips. Apparently Nino already knew that someone was watching them. The shop owner did not seem to understand.
"Say no! Someone is watching us" Nino repeated in a barely audible whisper. The man also seemed to understand.
"Ah, sorry sir! This store has no CCTV or anything. Our CCTV was broken a month ago and I haven't had time to buy a new one yet" the shopkeeper raised his voice.
"It's a shame!!" Nino pretended to be disappointed.
"Are you sure there's no other CCTV?" Alden.
"No. I really don't have any other surveillance cameras" the shopkeeper exclaimed.
The person who was following them also seemed satisfied with the answer from the store owner.
"Is there no lotus flower in this shop?" Ask the man who followed Alden and Nino.
"Sorry sir, we don't have it" the shopkeeper replied.
"Then thank you," the man got out in a hurry and immediately got into his car.
Alden immediately came out to pay attention around.
"I think it's safe" Alden told Nino.
"I'm sure you have CCTV. Has your CCTV gone?" Nino repeated the question. The shop owner was silent.
"I beg you this is very important for the victim."
"I have CCTV in this shop. When all the stores that are around here lost their cctv, but not with my CCTV. I kept it in a flower vase. CCTV cameras in this store do not disappear. I've secured the CCTV. I'm afraid if the CCTV is gone like the others" the shop owner said. Nino was satisfied with the florist's answer.
"May I take the CCTV?"
"Ah, it seems that it can't. My CCTV is a very expensive CCTV."
Nino smiled and seemed to understand. He took out two pounds of cash from his bag.
"Is this enough to make up for your CCTV?" Nino smiled.
"Of course, sir," the shopkeeper smiled happily and immediately took the money. He rushes to open his drawer to get his CCTV camera.
"It's mister!" The store owner offered Nino the CCTV.
Alden who was guarding in front went back in and took out the laptop from his bag. He kept and turned the laptop on the table. While Nino is removing the CCTV camera memory and moving it to his flash.
Nino immediately played the footage yesterday at the same time William was found.
"Already expected," Nino smiled triumphantly as she looked at the CCTV footage.
