"Zack, please accompany Lydi. Papa wants to talk inside for a minute."


"Yes Pa."


Zack and Lydia sat side by side in the long chair in the waiting room. Lydi put his head on Zack's shoulder, and the young man grabbed Lydia's shoulder. Zack doesn't want to say much because Lydia looks fragile.


Chris talked to the police on duty, he then asked to be reunited with Rafi. The bule man was then taken to another room containing 2 cells that were not large. A cell is usually made up of several people. Rafi stood up as Chris came along. The officer left them so they could speak more freely. Chris approached Rafi.


"What's going on? Why is it like this?"


"Shh!" Rafi put her index finger in front of her lips. He calls Chris over so that the other people in the cell don't eavesdrop on their conversation.


Chris according.


"I just met Romi and I had a vow since I married Anna I've never touched that unclean item again" Rafi said. Romi was his former subordinate when he became a Drug kingpin.


"But he's still, right?"


Rafi nodded.


"Why don't you just say that?"


"Now the police are looking for the Drug Club."


"What is he ...."


Rafi nodded.


"Then why are you ...."


Rafi shakes.


"Rafi .. You're crazy!" chris was angry. "You want Lydia to lose a father?"


Rafi was silent. The sentence did not also make Rafi seem to want to change her mind. Chris looks furious. "I'm done with you!(I'll just get here with you!)" He gets angry and leaves Rafi.


Chris immediately takes Lydia and Zack into the car. On his way home the man can not understand why Rafi protect Romi when it seems Romilah people have been given the drug business empire by Rafi considering Romi used to be Rafi's right hand. The man stayed to tell who the Drug kingpin is now and surely he can freely waltz out of prison. Why can't he do that and instead let the police arrest him as well, has he been involved in running it secretly without the knowledge of his in-laws? Because Chris knows, his in-laws are still watching the man until now. Is it because his in-laws can not speak Indonesian, so can be helped?


Various preconceptions swirled in Chris' head without knowing the end. He must solve this problem immediately. "We go to the flower shop" Chris told his bodyguard.


As soon as he arrived, Chris looked for his wife to get inside the store. He told me all about this problem. "I don't understand the style of both of them living, and now I don't understand the way both of them think either. They seem to be fine with the way they live! Only someone else saw him growled!"


Reina hears Chris' outpouring of heart over Anna-Rafa's seemingly fine partner living apart for years. He can only smile. "Yes that's the secret of the husband and wife, only those who know the truth, whether they are comfortable with it or not and not everyone can understand that."


"Hehhhh ...." Chris stood up with his waist down. He lowered his head to think. "It seems only his wife can solve this complicated problem. You have Anna's number, right? Please tell him this matter."


"Yes dear." Reina called Anna right away. He told all Rafi's problems to the wife of the man of Indian-Indonesian descent. He soon closed his phone.


"What's he saying?" asked Chris curiously.


"He is still touring for another week, after which he can only go to Jakarta."


"uh right? I just growled to see them moving slowly!!!" Chris was really trying to contain his anger.


"Darling ...." Reina approached and stroked her husband's hardened jaw. "Anna assumes that the police procedure is long so Rafi could be released, but even if it turns out her husband is stuck, the procedure is still time-consuming because it will shift to an investigation session. He knows the procedure, so it looks so relaxed." Reina touched Chris' chin with her fingertips.


"Mk." Chris began to understand but no doubt he was still confused about the behavior of the two of them to have to scratch his forehead. "Well, it's up to them, I'm dizzy thinking about it."


Chris returns to the car but does not find Zack. Where the hell is he? Apparently he went to a restaurant.


"Sir, want to buy a large Fruit Salad 1 huh?"


"Fruit salad, huh?" answer Leka.


"Eh, Zack. You want to buy a Fruit Salad?" Aska sat in a slightly hidden place until she was invisible to Zack. He stood approaching.


"Eh, Brother." Zack looked at Aska. "Why is he here? Doesn't she work at my sister's house?" He pointed at Leka. Apparently Zack does not know, his brother's ex-wife called Salwa is Leka. All he knows is Leka is a maid in Aska's house.


"Oh, that. She is now my girlfriend." Aska replied with a contrived smile.


Of course Leka was upset. Why not just be honest if he used to lie? Why make up a new lie?


But Zack quickly responded. He immediately understood what was happening. "Oh .. He's called the former sister of Salwa?"


Now Aska pretended to laugh because her lie had been caught by her sister. Leka who had wrapped Zack's order was immediately paid by Aska.


"Let Brother pay."


Leka gave the man's money to the cashier, then left him.


"Leka, Leka wait ...." Aska can't catch Leka who just goes to the back door. He waited for the change and groceries directly given to Zack. He forced his sister out of the restaurant so that he could catch up with Leka. "Yes, you go home quickly."


Aska chases Leka to the back door while Arya and Mariko who are in the kitchen come to see the incident. Arya who was leaning against a table while folding her hands on her chest, shook her head. "Look, he hasn't changed."


"Saitei!"


"What's that?"


"Low man!"


"Ooo ...." Arya nodded her head.


Zack, returning to the car, shows Lydia the wrapper happily. "Let's eat these two in the room, shall we?"


Lydia who still looks confused just silently mute and the car rolled into the road.

"Favor Brother."


"Thank you Oniichan."


Kenzo's two sisters were so happy to receive the shopping parcel from her brother, they each hugged him tightly.


"It's also for Mama and Dad, please?" Kenzo hands it to Aiko.


"Yes, Oniichan."


"Niichan go first." Kenzo got in his car. He returned to driving on his own and his bodyguard followed behind on the bike. Every now and then he glanced at the package that was on the chair beside him. He then entered the parking lot of the restaurant a little far away because he himself hesitated. He saw from the glass door of his car, Leka who continued to be followed by Aska. There are also both parents.


Somehow she could get there, even though seeing Leka who was followed by her ex-husband only made her heart more helpless. Helplessly leaving him but seeing him only added to the wound. Old wounds that re-scratched in the same place. Ah, he actually came back like he used to, letting himself be injured so many times just for wanting to look at the woman, her facial expressions, her gestures, even when the woman was silently thinking about something. Now the woman was putting on an annoyed face at the man who was following her. He moved faster to make the man lose his mind.


Ah, I'm not a stalker, trailing other people's private lives and I'm not a fan of it. However, inevitably when he thought about 'fans', he felt he went into it. Didn't he secretly admire the beauty of the woman? The female idol who did not dare he reached because of hit the status of the woman.


Hah .. I am a stalker. Do I dare to give this to him? No right? Do I dare to approach him again? Neither. I am now peeping on him. How stupid of me.


Kenzo finally revived his car and left the restaurant.


-----------++++---------


Leka came home with Aska.


"God ...."


The woman did not listen and immediately got out of the car. And the Baby Sitter. The car eventually left them.


Leka immediately entered the compound of his house. The guard stood up and handed him a plastic package.


"What is it sir?"


"By Kenzo sir."


Leka then accepted it and took it in. He opened it in the room. A writing toy that can be removed with a single pull, it looks like it's for Runi. Another one in a small package of a copper bracelet that is joined with several beads makes it look unique. Leka liked it very much. He immediately wears it.


It's exquisite. He bought it for me? It's already night, isn't it? Tomorrow I'll thank him.


Leka was still watching Kenzo's circular bracelet in her hand. Kenzo, thank you ....


------------++++-----------


Arya was startled by the noise on her phone that morning as she was about to leave the room for breakfast. By Kenzo. 'Dad I'm leaving. Sorry I'm not saying goodbye. I still can't decide my wishes. Sorry.'


Arya was really upset. He tried to call Kenzo but he wasn't picked up. At the height of his frustration, he slammed his phone into bed. Long he pensive. Then he tried to answer it, still filled with anger.


Kenzo was at the airport. He deliberately did not pick up the phone from Arya so that he was not affected by his father's persuasion, but he read the notification from his father.


'Man dies once, but a coward, he dies many times.'


Kenzo's eyes are reddened. Without realizing it, a drop of her tears fell. Dad, you're right, her inner.


But then followed the next notification. 'Daddy loves you. Hurry home, don't make us wait long. I will always pray for you from far away.'


Kenzo's tears are flowing. While holding his cellphone, his sobbing that tried to muffle looked very heartbreaking.


He sat in a long, hidden chair. In the middle of a fairly crowded airport atmosphere, the man tried to be stoic.


Do you know Leka? My hardest journey was to forget you. Not once can I sleep well without worrying about you. Sorry I left without saying goodbye. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I see you pleading with me.


Arya's family peeked through the windshield of the front room window, seeing Leka who had brought food to Kenzo's house, had to reap disappointment. The man went back abroad without saying goodbye to him.
