The man dressed in the security guard was disappointed. Missi he was thwarted because of an old woman he ignored. He regretted not taking care of Martini's mother before entering this house. He passed Martini's mother while on a monitoring errand at the back of the house before the mission was run.

I foolishly ignored the old woman because she thought that she knew nothing and was seen as not daring to act. He should not be careless and have predicted that David dared to hire the woman as the head of the household in the house that is responsible for security in the house must have the advantage.  Is it because he ignored the abstinence that he should not make love to women before the mission was run.  Why am I off guard? Am I really negligent or am I breaking my taboo ? But I cannot escape the charm of a Dilla Pratiwi.

Before I was knocked and thrown by the bullet the old woman threw, I saw the woman bleeding in her face.  Means not all failed.just I'm not sure that the woman named Soffie is in this room. I feel like this is my last time. I have done my duty in this world. Completed in the task and without being accompanied by loved ones. Will he cry for me? Is he waiting for my arrival? and. I'm tired.

As soon as the body of the man dressed as the security guard touched the ceramic floor, the eyes closed.

As soon as John's foot stepped on the second floor he looked around and found the rest of the smoke explosion and confirmed that it was the effect of a smoke grenade containing a dangerous substance.

"David .. close your nose !"  Shouted John to David who was lifting Martini's mother's head off the floor, We wait for the medics and police to come here soon, don't touch anything...

David turned his head and noticed John covering his nose with a cloth on his arm.  The newly arrived Michael immediately picked up a supply of masks that were on the first floor and ran towards the second floor. David only received the mask from Michael in silence. He notices Sonny and Dissy lying on the couch. Not far from their position, Chalie was still clutching her weapon. There were also 2 female ART men lying near the television.

It's clenching. No Soffie, Dean, Stefanus, Mama Jeany and baby Ariela. Where'd they? As if I had a little hope. David yelling.

"Michael, you look in that room for Stephen and Ariela. I'm looking for Soffie and Dean !"  David enters the room while running in search of his wife and son.

Open the door to that room. Seen by Soffii's bed used to sleep was still empty and clean. Where'd they? His eyes swept around the room to the corner, there was no one.

"Phie...  Soffy .....Dean ?"    David screamed and saw the room was empty.

"Soffia..... Dean's.... "Shouted David as he opened the bathroom door. He was still looking for them in his room. There's no one there.  Sadness and fear lingered in his heart.  David goes on to open the "Connecting Door" that leads to Dean's room.

Where are they both. Did the bloody Cepot manage to take them? David felt his legs limp and he was afraid of losing 3 significant people in his life. Soffie is pregnant with her second child and Dean is her little whiz.

"Phie... Where are you ? Dean's.....

David fell on the floor. He only realized he was very tired of running far enough to his home and felt failed to save his family. David didn't hear when someone opened the door outside Dean's room. Michael goes into the room with Stephen and baby Ariela who are in Jeany's mom's arms. They were shocked to see David sitting on the floor.

"Vid... why ? Where's soffie?"  Ask Mama Jeany.

David was silent and unable to answer. He wanted to scream but no more power. All disappeared in an instant. This morning he kissed them both. Why doesn't everything exist now. Is this punishment for my past mistakes?  David was still silent with a blank look.

Suddenly Stephen opened Dean's wardrobe in the corner. It was like hearing voices whispering from the closet. Stephen often found Dean hiding in the closet if playing with him hide-and-seek. Dean loved to hide there.

"Tante Soffie's... Om... Aunt Soffie and Dean are here !"  Shouted Stephen who seemed to awaken David to a hope.  David immediately got up and headed for the wardrobe that had a large size. He smiled as if he had gained new energy hearing that the two of them had survived and were in the room.

"Phie... Soffie... Why are you in here?"  David who immediately got up and stepped hastily looked at the closet. He was surprised to find Soffie hugging Dean who was still sobbing in the closet.

"I'm so scared. I'm afraid it's not hubbie who's coming.... I forbid Dean to scream.I'm afraid we can be killed if we make a sound.I'm afraid it's just a trap and a mishearing... my feet hurt so much, "Soffie said as she cried sobbing.

"Here baby..don't cry anymore.Papa has come home !" David was happy to see the two of them survived despite in a strange way in his view. But he was so grateful that all three of them survived.

"Papa.... Pa... Dean's afraid... Dean can't take care of Mama... " Dean said softly as David lifted his body from Soffie's embrace. Dean's body was sweating a lot and his shirt was wet.

"Relax. papa has come... Dean carried Stephen's brother first yes... Papa lift mama first.Mama's legs and stomach must hurt, "Peach David to his little man.

The little man nodded and still cried without a sound. Then David lifted the body of Soffie whose legs were bent in the closet for some time and put it on the bed.

"Where are you, baby?' Are you guys hurt ?" Is my son inside also frightened.I'm sorry yes.I was late to come..The road was very jammed, "Said David while lifting Soffie's body and heading to the bed in his room. His move was followed by others including Michael.

"Bie. thanks for coming home so quickly.I ran into the closet hugging Dean. it's only in that cupboard that there's lighting and Dean can be quieter because he likes to hide there if I'm angry.

"you rest first because I'm gonna call the doctor to check on you all..." David says he coded Michael to call their family doctor.

"What about Mama Jeany? Is anyone sick?" David asked in surprise because he saw his in-laws looking very healthy and fresh .

"Yes David... mama didn't hear anything.... until Michael came to wake her... So she brought Ariella...Where are Dissy and Sonny, Vid?"  Jeany was astonished that she did not see her son and daughter-in-law.

"they were injured and again in the hospital...David will check them all...  David went out first and set the others up, huh mam?" David explains and is answered with a nod by Jeany's mama.

"You all wait here... Stephen and Michael keep them here.I'll see the cops.... "

"Om fine... Stef's gonna make sure no one gets out of the room until it's sorted out. Dad, how's mom doing?" Stephen asked about his parents.

Stephen and Jeany did not know the situation of his parents because Michael made them both do not pass through the middle room where they usually all gathered on the second floor.

"Later you will check.You are here.please help, "David got up while patting Stephen's shoulder leaving the room.
