MARRIED

Rescue

Theo walked towards Nadine who was immediately greeted with a sweet smile that Nadine threw.

"How long have you been, Theo?" nadine asked with a smile on the tip of her lips.

"I'm sorry I was in the toilet. Nad, you look tired. Here let me carry Arka," said Theo relaxed and approached Nadine.

"Now ah."

"Nad, you'll be exhausted. The trip will be long, let me carry Arka first. You can eat or drink or it's up to you" Theo said.

Suddenly Nadine moved away from Theo. "Why? So you can bring Arka? You think I'm stupid?!"

"What are you talking about, Nad?! Let Arka be with me first!" Theo begins to get impatient and approaches Nadine to seize Arka.

"Don't try! Have you forgotten who I am?!"

Nadine's face now looks cynical and her eyes look evil. Only hatred was emanating from his eyes. And it seems like he's starting to be unable to control himself.

Theo stood there, confused by what he was going to do. All the plans had been scrapped due to overconfidence, underestimating Nadine. He also did not create a backup plan for this kind of emergency situation. Now in his mind, it was only Ark's safety that he had to prioritize.

Meanwhile Ben and several policemen were observing from a distance. They know the situation is not conducive and they need a new plan.

The police are still patiently waiting, giving time for Theo to overcome the situation and save Arka first. But Ben was impatient and would not listen to the police.

Ben half ran towards where Theo and Nadine were standing. The cry of the police he did not grumble.

"Haha you finally came out of your hiding place too huh," said Nadine sarcastically seeing Ben.

Theo widens his eyes to see Ben, who he believes will make their position even more difficult.

"Nadine! Hand me the Ark!" ben's orders are firm.

Arka who heard the commotion around her seemed to wake up and started crying. Nadine tries to calm Arka down while thinking if she should be able to escape from Theo and Ben. Arka's crying that was getting louder made Nadine start to get angry.

'Shut up!" he shouted at Arka who increasingly made Arka's cries grow louder.

"Pa pa pa," cried Arka calling Ben on the sidelines of her cries.

Ben tries to take Arka, but unexpectedly, Nadine pulls out a bottle of red water from her pants pocket.

"You know what this is? Chili powder and pepper. I always take him for a gun in an emergency situation. If you dare to take Arka, this liquid I will spray into Arka's eyes!"

"Don't, Nad!" shouted Theo.

"Don't, Nad! Please, he's still a baby, pity him. If you take revenge on me, hurt me" said Ben trying to persuade.

"Haha you're afraid as well apparently," said Nadine happy for the threat that looks successful.

Theo and Ben scan the surroundings and realize that the police are moving, surrounding them. Ben and Theo's job is to buy time so the police can take Nadine down at the right time without jeopardizing Arka's safety.

"Haha .. You are very sorry about this child. Isn't that right, Ben?!" nadine shouted with her hands ready to spray chilli liquid on Arka's face. While Arka's crying is still tight.

"Nad, what do you want?" ask Theo calmly.

"Both of you, take care of me. You bad guys! Get me out of here and I'll give you Arka!" nadine was full of hate.

"Haha ... You think I can fool you again?!"

"You are not stupid at all, Nad," persuaded Ben who tried to keep Nadine's eyes only on him and his vigilance reduced.

That's when the police moved. Hit Nadine's nape from behind. Arka that will fall was immediately captured swiftly by Ben. While Theo snatched the chilli liquid from Nadine's hand.

"Darling ... cup my son's cup," persuaded Ben to appease Arka.

"Pa papa," said Arka began to calm down in Ben's arms.

Theo gives a bottle of milk to Arka and Arka starts to be quiet and calm in Ben's arms. The police secure Nadine.

Julia who had just arrived, ran fiercely towards Arka. Irfan caught up with him from behind. When he saw Arka in Ben's arms, Julia's heart was very relieved.

"Arka, son!" yelled Julia hugging Arka. Her tears did not stop crying, she kissed Arka affectionately.

Ben gives Arka to Julia and Ben keeps Arka's hand, calming her down. The three of them hugged tightly.

Irfan who had just arrived, saw the scene in front of him with a mixed heart. Happy that Arka survived, but somehow the sight of Ben hugging Julia and Arka feels like a family, a deep inner bond. His heart feels sore.

"Sir Theo, this is Nadine we'll take to the police station. He will be detained on charges of child abduction and falsification of documents" police said. Nadine is beginning to wake up.

"Good, Sir. This is Julia, Arka's mother." Theo introduced Julia to the police who were there.

"Next we will ask for information from all of you, especially Ms. Julia and Mr. Theo" said the police.

Julia and Theo agree to a police request and are willing to provide information for the smooth process of Nadine's detention. But because the day had begun at night, while only Theo had come to the police station to give his information.

"Theo, thank you so much for all your help" Julia said sincerely before Theo passed away with the police.

Theo just nodded his head. I am glad I helped Julia. At first, he did not plan to do this for Julia. But as Nadine continues to persuade him to help take Arka away abroad, Theo feels unbearable. He knows how much it hurts to lose a child, because he now has a daughter who is very dear to him.

Nadine, who had regained consciousness, was taken by the police with her handcuffed hands. Before leaving, Nadine had a hard look at Julia's eyes. Now Julia realizes that Nadine only has hatred for her. During this time it turns out Nadine was only theatrical to harm him.

But at the same time, Julia also felt sorry for Nadine. But for now, he did not want to get close to Nadine.

Irfan just stood there, he didn't know how. It was under control and calm again. It felt like he wanted to embrace Arka, but he was not close to Arka and it was certain that Arka would reject him. Irfan walked over to Julia.

"Jul, it's okay. The important thing is that Arka has survived" said Irfan trying to hug Julia.

But just as Julia was about to answer, Arka wriggled from her sling and pointed at Ben.

"Pa Papa," said Arka to Ben.

"Honey, here Papa is fat," said Ben who understood Arka's will. Julia also handed Arka to Ben. Indeed Arka always acts spoiled to Ben.

Arka looks excited and she starts laughing as Ben kisses her while tickling her. Julia smiled at Arka's happy face, finally Julia approached Arka and kissed her. He also forgot the existence of Irfan who stood not far from him.
