February 11th, exactly one week after Naomi's departure.
The weekend arrived, as usual, Jessica went to train and help with the exam preparation for the green belt.
They welcomed Jessica's guidance with pleasure. The morning exercise was smooth without the slightest hitch.
After the training. Jessica immediately prepared because she had made an appointment with someone, and Aldy would accompany Jessica that afternoon.
Jessica was dressed as usual, her hair was not too high and also not too low. He was wearing a black jacket and a plain ash shirt.
Jessica is always wearing a jacket and short-sleeved shirt every day, the woman feels more comfortable with such clothes.
Jessica squatted down to put on her shoes. He smiled when he saw Aldy's car parked in front of his rented gate.
"It's been a while?" jessica asked with a bright face.
"No, I just got there. Come on, come on in, my Edelweiss." Aldy opened the car door for Jessica. Jessica smiled and got into the car, sitting next to the driver's seat.
"Where exactly are you going, umm?" Aldy started the car, drove it to the highway.
"I'm going to the parlor, I want to meet the kids, that's all." Jessica pulled out her phone. It looked like he was reading something very important.
Aldy glanced at a glance, "Is there a problem?"
"Slightly," Jessica replied as she stuffed her phone into the jacket pocket.
"Say what's the problem?" Aldy looked at Jessica because the traffic light was red in front of him.
Jessica closed her eyes, unable to tell her the real problem. "Many children are coming out secretly. They were begging on the highway, I don't know, what caused them to do that. I've asked the managers to keep an eye on them. But they still do that."
Aldy frowned. Sounds weird in Aldy's ear. Children aged 7-10 years begging?
Aldy glanced back at Jessica who was still closing her eyes. He breathed out slowly.
"You are strong, yes. I'm sure you can solve this problem, my Edelweiss," Aldy murmured.
Half an hour's drive. They reached the slums located far from the city. Aldy came out first. He opened the door for his wife.
The two walk side by side. Aldy's watching around. He could see his men watching him and Jessica.
Aldy and Jessica were standing in front of the orphanage painted green. The building looks so simple, yet clean and comfortable.
A middle-aged woman came out, she greeted Aldy and Jessica with a face so happy.
Jessica looked at him. He saw a group of children sitting on the porch learning to read and draw.
"Come, come in, Miss Audi" said the woman. He takes Aldy and Jessica to a small living room.
The woman began to tell Jessica the real problem. "After Naomi's departure, there were some thugs coming here, they asked us to release these children to them. Sure, me and the others insist on keeping them all. And one of the thugs beat up." The woman struck a punch on her arm.
"The children don't have the heart for me, they secretly go out and meet the thugs. They were willing to beg to deposit money on the uncontrollable man" he said with teary eyes.
"Why not tell me sooner?" jessica asked with a face so cold.
The woman shook her head, "I can't, they're all closing down every alley. We can't go out to call you" he replied honestly.
Aldy and Jessica held their breaths. Both of them were burning with emotion at this moment.
After hearing the explanation, Aldy and Jessica come out to look for more evidence. They want to report the case to the authorities.
Jessica asked Aldy to go down a different path. The road looks crowded, but it is not a highway.
Jessica and Aldy are out. The two observed a hut filled with already brainless women and men.
The little girl kept running towards Jessica across there. Jessica also ran towards him because a car was about to hit the little girl's body.
"Auntie.." cried the girl as Jessica grabbed her and saved her from the car.
Aldy held his breath, almost the woman was in danger. Not a step ahead Aldy approached Jessica.
Suddenly a high-speed black car drove towards Jessica and the little girl.
"Awas Jess!!!!" Jessica looked over and grabbed the little girl. He took a step back however,
Braaks....
Jessica's body floated with the little girl still in her arms. Jessica realized, she wanted to protect her head, unfortunately, she was more concerned with the little girl, Jessica protected the girl's body so as not to come into contact with the asphalt road.
Jessica's eyes felt so heavy, she closed her eyes with a body that was covered in blood.
Aldy was still sculpting, he blinked his eyes in disbelief. Aldy ran towards Jessica with a million guilt.
She looked at Jessica's face, which was covered with blood. Without warning, all Aldy's men approached. They immediately took action, they spread out to catch the perpetrator.
The ambulance drove in the same direction. Jessica and the little girl were taken to a nearby hospital.
While Aldy, he entered the ambulance. The car has been taken care of by some of his men earlier.

Hospital
Aldy's appearance is no longer out of order. Her hair was messy, her clothes and jacket were covered in blood from Jessica. He sat down and stood up, and so on.
Aldy cursed himself. He may fail to take care of his wife.
"Aldy." Mom, Kamila and Ken are closing in on Aldy. The three immediately rolled after getting bad news about Jessica.
Kamila's eyes are no longer shaped, she cried from home to here. The girl hugged Mom, she was not strong with this poignant reality.
"Sister Jess." Kamila's sobs continued to be heard, now he sank into the chest of his sister's field.
"Ila, you're Big Brother's strength. Stop crying, you can't hear it." Aldy kissed his sister's forehead gently.
Kamila looked up with tears still flowing, wetting her cheeks. Aldy wiped his sister's precious tears.
"Don't cry anymore, you pray for Jessica. Pray for the best for him!"
The night begins to come, Ken, Keisha and Jack come again. Ken brought a change of clothes and food for Aldy, Mom and Kamila.
Aldy and Kamila never eat anything. The two kept peeking at the situation inside there. Jessica was still lying weakly with so many tools attached to her body. And the doctor didn't allow anyone to go in there for a while either.
"Sorry, I can't take care of you, I'm sorry" Aldy murmured. The man continued to wish Jessica all the best. He put his palm on the glass wall. Clear details flowed from his sharp eyes.
Ken and Keisha stared at each other, both of whom could feel a deep sadness in Aldy.
Mom and Kamila were brought home by Jack. Aldy asked the two women to rest, while he himself had never rested or eaten since.
Far away in a room. Hendra punched and kicked the samsak with all his might. He was raging so.
"The rich man did bring bad luck to your life, Jess." Hendra kept punching the samsak hard. He promised himself that he would not let Jessica get hurt or sick for the umpteenth time.
"I may be able to erase my feelings for you, but not with my promise to Mom to look after and protect you like my own sister." Hendra kicked the samsak until the entire wall of the room shook. He fell because he could not control his emotions. "Damn......."
Seriate.....
