“In that prison I met immigrant man who was accused of murdering his master. One time I saw him worshiping and heard him reciting the holy verses of the Qur'an. There is an impulse that makes me feel calm and at peace, for some reason when he talks about Islam I seem to be at peace with myself (in that prison I met an immigrant man who was accused of killing his master. One day I saw him worshiping and heard him chanting the holy verses of the Qur’an. There is an impulse that makes me feel calm and peaceful, for some reason when he talks about the religion of Islam I can be at peace with myself)” said Nicholas staring at Sabrina who began to relax. The pain in Sabrina's stomach slowly began to diminish, alternating with a sense of comfort,
“Then... what happens next? (then..... what happens next?)” Sabrina was still tilting her body looking at Nicholas' handsome face.
“I finally learned about Islam from him until I decided to embrace that religion. With the help of the prisoner, I recited the creed, but not long ago I learned religion from him, the man had to undergo the punishment that had been determined by the court (i eventually learned about the religion of Islam from him until I decided to embrace it. With the help of the prisoner I recited the shahadah, but not long ago I learned religion from him the man had to serve the sentence set by the court)” said Nicholas recalled his past while in prison. Sabrina looked at the distant looking Nicholas recalling the moment where he felt the cold and cruelty of prison life.
“Then...(later...)” Sabrina's eyes slowly began to feel heavy, but she kept trying to wake up to hear past stories about Nicholas.
“I had felt down and lost my way when the man I considered a teacher who knew me about Islam, left forever. My knowledge of Islam is still so shallow and the influence of a mafia family background made me return to this black road. After that I was released due to inadequate evidence and. (i felt down and lost my way when the man I thought was the teacher who taught me about Islam, left for good. my knowledge of Islam is still so superficial and the influence of the mafia family background makes me return to this black street. After that I was released because the evidence was not strong enough and....)” said Nicholas staring at Sabrina who turned out to be asleep. He smiled happily looking at the old face of Sabrina who looked very tired.
His breath seemed regular and calm Sabrina's face looked so beautiful in Nicholas' eyes, his hands gently stroking his wife's head covered in a hijab. Slowly close her face to the beautiful girl, then her lips gently kissed Sabrina's forehead. After that he pulled a blanket over his wife's body so as not to get cold.
Nicholas' men including Jack accidentally see Gentle Nicholas' treatment and attitude towards Sabrina, all eyes wide open at once and immediately turn their attention elsewhere. There was a sense of compassion, sympathy and concern as they all heard the story of their boss's past.
They were all determined inwardly to always be loyal to their boss, having enveloped his wife Nicholas feeling very thirsty. He then stood up from his seat stepping towards the small kitchen at the front of the plane, his eagle eyes gazing towards the fellows who were looking back at him with deep respect.
Nicholas only responded coldly and then stepped forward towards the front of his private jet.
our boss will always be loyal to you, even we are ready to be a shield for you (our boss will always be loyal to you, even we are ready to be a shield for you) they murmured in their hearts to utter or pledge their allegiance to Nicholas.

Candra and the men in her family returned to the residence to find Helena sitting pensively on the veranda of the Wiguna residence.

“where is Elijah, Mi?” ask Adrian.
“Elia is going to the kitchen to make a warm drink for us,” said Helena with a sad look on her face. Adrian looked at his wife who was looking sadly at his first son,
“Already mi, do not drag on in sadness. However, this has all come from Him, this is a test for Raka” said Adrian understood with sadness his wife, one hand embracing Helena's shoulder.
“mami knows pi. But what about the extended family, relatives and co-workers who already know, they will certainly ask questions and will corner us.” Helena's speech stopped when cut by Candra.
“really said papa mi, Look Raka mi. he tried to be sincere with what happened to him, we should entertain so that he does not grieve” said Adrian staring at Raka who was only silent earlier.
Eliana, who finished making a warm drink for him and Helena, was surprised to find opa and the other family talking on the porch.
“Eyang, papi, Raka's sister, Wibi's sister?! When's arrived? Opa ama papi to make drinks?” eliana asked as she put the drink on the table.
“no need Elijah, we had a drink at the hospital earlier“ Adrian said.
"we just got to” said Candra shut her mouth and yawned, she noticed her wrist watch.
“it turns out that it is nine at night, Raka told the pilot to prepare the plane for our flight tomorrow morning to Jakarta” said Candra began to feel drowsiness.
“Good opa,” said Raka grabbed the phone in her pants pocket.
“Wibi... please deliver opa to the room, opa eyes already feel very heavy" Pinta Candra who directly helped Adrian to stand. Wibisana helped to get Candra into the residence to her room.
Raka and Helena were still sitting on the veranda of the Wiguna residence, Helena gazed sadly at her first son. Their eyes met as Raka looked towards her mother,
“Raka?!” Helena looked at her son for a long time, she could see there was sadness in Raka's eyes.
“ Mi.... (looking at her mother's eyes) Raka has given everything that happened, lying if Raka does not feel sick and sad. But, I believe and believe that God gave trials to His servant will not exceed the ability of His people” Raka's eyes seemed to be teary when he saw Helena who began to shed tears.
