Alex opens the left car door so the wife can get out. The time has shown in the afternoon when Desi is allowed to go home from the hospital. In front of the main door was seen Bu Dina, Adi and Rafi and several female servants were standing up to welcome the arrival of her master.
"What are they doing outside the house?" Desi asked as she was already standing beside her car.
"To welcome you," Alex replied briefly.
"Why should we welcome too? I'm not the queen?" Gerrutu Desi stepped towards her home.
"You deserve to be welcomed like this. You're the queen of my heart" Alex teased in a whisper. Fingers hands he tucked in between the fingers of the wife.
"Are you studying?"
"Learn what?" Alex asked as he frowned.
"Learning teases me..." Desi's laughter broke as she managed to make Alex's face speechless.
"Welcome back to Miss Desi's house..." Say to everyone who works at Alex's house.
"Thank you..." A moment Desi spread her gaze. He didn't see the in-laws or Sandra. Then he and Alex walked into the house. Even inside the house there is not much activity. Usually in the afternoon like this a lot of activities done by her in-laws. "Where's mom?" Asked Desi who had stepped up the stairs.
"He may be on a break" Alex replied again briefly. Right now he doesn't want to talk about Mama and Sandra.
"Then where..."
"Don't ask too many questions" said Alex who cut off Desi's words. He stopped his steps when he was at the door of his room. Holding his wife's arms as they faced each other. "You better take a break. I'll bring you some water again" said Alex, who had opened the door to his room. Tell Desi to come in first.
Alex went down the stairs to the kitchen. Meet Ms. Dina who has been struggling in the kitchen after welcoming her wife. "Where's Mama?" Alex asked who spread his gaze across the entire first floor.
Mom Dina stopped her work when Alex was in front of her. "The lady's still in master's room. Is there anything you need?"
Alex's eyes are now on the door of the mother's room which is still tightly closed. "Take me some water in the bottle. I'll take her to the room" Alex replied without turning her eyes to the mother's room.

In the evening Alex and Desi get out of the room. Dinner that is usually done at seven o'clock at night is now late until half-eight o'clock. Alex and Desi are waiting for their mother at the dinner table.
Marisa is seen walking towards the dining table while occasionally tidying up her messy hair. He smiled at Desi as he sat in the chair he used to sit in. "Sorry Mama is late" said Marisa, bowing her head. Hiding his eyes from his son-in-law.
Desi who knows something is wrong with her in-laws is now increasingly looking for awkwardness that seems hidden by the in-laws. "Mama's okay?" Desi asked while occasionally staring at the face of the in-law who was busy lowering his head.
Desi nodded her head. He felt more awkward when the husband seemed indifferent to his mother-in-law.
"We'd better start dinner. You also have to rest immediately, right," Alex said while drinking water in a glass glass.
"Don't we also have to wait for Sandra," said Desi who circulated her gaze throughout the room. Making Alex and Marisa silent will not be spoken of Desi. "Where is he? I didn't see him from before. Honey what are you..."
"She's not here" Alex answered quickly and his mother turned to look at him.
"Not here? Then where's Sandra?"
When Alex is silent, he does not answer the question of Desi, Marisa's chest hurts when her daughter-in-law asks where her daughter is. Slowly Marisa lowered her head as she tried to hold back her tears that were about to fall. He blinked his eyes several times so that his tears would not fall when he had to face Desi. "Darling... Sandra is following the internship from her college. Looks like he won't be home for a few days."
"That's how it looks..." Desi nodded her head in order to understand what her mother-in-law had said.
"Here you go, better eat fast. Then you take a break," Alex orders a nod of the head by Desi.
While Alex occasionally glanced at the mother who ate in silence. He can see clearly if the mother is very hit by the incident last night. Either his treatment last night was right or wrong but he was very disappointed about Sandra's attitude towards his wife.

In the middle of the night Desi awoke from her sleep. He immediately turned on the sleeping lamp on the nightstand as thirst dried his throat. He got up from his bed and sat down. Then he poured water from a glass bottle brought by Alex earlier. Then he drank it until the toilet was not left. Then put the glass back on the nightstand.
Desi looked at the left side of the bed. He was surprised to find Alex at his side. He walked to the light switch next to the door of his room, then turned it on. He looked all over his room but could not find Alex in his room. "Darling..." Call Desi. He walked to the bathroom and opened it. But again he could not find Alex there.
The feeling was terrible when Desi could not find her husband in her entire room. He saw a wall clock that showed two o'clock in the morning. It's not usual for Alex to leave at midnight like this. "Where is he?" Said Desi himself. But his desire to find Alex could not be avoided.
Desi stepped out of the room. Everything's dark. Only the lights on the wall are lit. He walked towards the stairs but he could see below there was not the slightest activity to see the lights below also go out.
He abandoned his intention to go down. For some reason at this time his mind even floated to the room Sandra who was also on the second floor. From the room he currently occupied, Sandra's room was only six meters away. The room and Sandra's room are only separated by a family room that is designed more private if it is on the second floor.
Slowly Desi stepped into Sandra's room. He could see that Sandra's room wasn't closing perfectly. There was a gap of about two snails at the door.
Isn't Sandra not there? Why are the lights in her room on?
Desi said in her heart as she could see clearly that the lights in Sandra's room were burning brightly from the crack of the door. Slowly Desi pushed into the door, but he did not fully open it. Without looking for the person she was looking for, she could see her husband standing next to Sandra's bed holding a picture. For a moment Desi even knew that her husband was currently not okay when he saw the vibrations in Alex's body. She could also catch the sound of crying out of her husband's mouth. For a moment he remembered the incident this morning in the hospital when he asked Alex if there was a problem at home but until now he did not get an answer from Alex. She also recalled last night's dinner when Alex stole a look at her mother-in-law. At that time she realized that her husband's family was not okay.
