Ken couldn't stop smiling when his mom was gone. He always looked at Ara and made the girl misbehave.
"Alright, Ken. Don't look at me like that!" said Ara who could not hide from Ken's gaze. He's tied up in a hospital bed and can't go anywhere.
Ken chuckled despite his lack of liking because Ara was still talking formally to him, "what's the matter? I just want to make up for the missed time without you!" he answered without turning his face away from Ara.
"But I'll be embarrassed, Ken. No, there's a dork in my eye, huh? Did your mom see it too?"
Ara became ugly and rubbed her eyes repeatedly.
"You're not saying that your mom wants to come!" grunts Ara.
Ken laughed again at Ara's behavior, "there's no trace in your eyes, Ra. You are even more beautiful than before!"
"Buck!" chirps Ara while throwing a pillow at Ken.
Fortunately Ken sped up and immediately caught the pillow Ara threw.
"What is this?!"
Suddenly, Aldy showed up. He just finished overtime.
Ken immediately stood up and hurriedly returned Ara's pillow.
"There's nothing, brother. Did you just get home from work?" asked Ara who saw her brother still wearing a work uniform.
Aldy nodded and placed his bag under the bed.
"Tomorrow I'm off so I can look after you all day!" he said, looking at Ken, "you're not in college, Ken? Don't you have to make a thesis?" ask Aldy to Ken.
Ken hesitated because he wasn't ready for the answer. He was indeed unable to concentrate because Ara was still not healed properly.
"I-iya, brother. Maybe next week if Ara's condition is better!" kennel replied a little nervously.
"Don't make an excuse. The thesis is very important to you! Don't worry about Ara," Aldy said a little firmly. It was for Ken's good as well despite actually not liking Ken to always be around his sister.
"L-yes, brother!" answer Ken briefly.
Ara even gave the code as if she was mocking Ken. Though it was to comfort her for being too tense facing her brother.
Ken immediately glared and replied to the same code as Ara.
"Then I want to go home, brother. Have a good night, Ra. Don't stay up, yeah!" ken said as he took his bag.
Then Ken said something to Ara even without a sound.
"What?" ask Ara who can't hear Ken's words.
"Mim Pi is me!" ken spoke more slowly.
Ara immediately stuck out her tongue after knowing what Ken meant.

The night was calm. As Ken had said, Ara had also dreamed of it. They were in the campus garden where they used to meet. There's Laras and Andre there too. They laugh and joke with each other.
It was just that, Ara was like seeing someone enter her room. Aldy also fell asleep so deeply that he was unaware of the presence of others.
That person's face was very creepy with burn scars. He just stood staring at Ara without doing anything.
Ara thought that she was dreaming and did not wake up until morning. But the shadow of the stranger was still in his mind.
"What's up, Ra?" aldy asked when he saw Ara was pensive.
"Ara dreamed of someone very strange, brother. His face was deformed like a burn mark. He just looked at Ara without doing anything!" tell Ara about her dream.
Aldy's stunned. He remembered the person who had donated blood to Ara. The nurse said the man also had burns on his face.
"Don't, that guy came here last night! Aah, I fell asleep so good I didn't know anyone was coming!" aldy blames himself.
"Did you know that guy?" ask Ara curiously
Aldy nodded, "maybe he's the one who donated his blood to you. But, brother doesn't know him. Who exactly is that guy, huh?" Aldy was getting curious about the figure of the deformed man.

"Noooo! I don't want to go to jail. Go then! Don't bother me" cried Janet as she threw the items nearby.
Mami Janet cries to see her daughter become like that, "this is mami, net. You will not be taken anywhere, let alone to prison. Mommy won't let anyone take you away!" mami Janet is no less hysterical. The tears just keep flowing.
The Vietnamese domestic assistant was also very frightened to see her employer's child like that. It seems he can't stand it anymore.
Suddenly, Janet grabs the vase on the table and throws it at the housekeeper. The flower vase was right about her forehead.
"Aaaakhs! No.no. I'll just go!" he said he ran straight out of the room while covering his bloody forehead.
It's been almost a month Janet's been like that. Her mom won't let Janet in much longer. He'll bring a psychiatrist to cure him.
Janet cannot forget what happened. He had indeed escaped the entrapment of the law. However, he had already punished himself.
"Hurry here, pih. Janet's getting worse. He's almost crazy!" mami Janet said on the other end of the phone.
Rony who started to fidget with his case also could not do anything more for his daughter.
"The fire has covered up Janet's actions for now. But someday, the hit-and-run event will be revealed. Papi's tired, mih. Just take care of Janet there. It's up to your mom to do it!" said Rony who was desperate with the behavior of his daughter.
The problem is already a lot, coupled with the problem of Janet which is also increasingly strange.
"Sorry, sir. Mr. Remond from the tax office wants to see you!" said Sardi, secretary to Mr. Rony.
Rony covered his face with a palm. There was another problem that made his head almost break.
"Send him in!" rony said briefly.
"Good, sir!" sahut Sardi walked out of the room.
Before long, a young man appears dressed in a tax officer uniform.
"Good day, sir. I'm Remond from the tax office. There are a few things I need to talk about with my dad!" he said politely.
"Yes, please sit down. What's up?" ask Rony who feels innocent.
Remond immediately sat down and took out some files from inside his bag.
"This is a file from the tax office. You've been in arrears of taxes for the last five years!" inexplicably.
Rony was shocked to hear Remond's explanation.
"What's? Taxes for five years? Maybe you're wrong! I've settled all the corporate taxes every year!" yells.
"But, this is the real file, sir. Maybe you paid him through the wrong guy!" remond said calmly. He often faces people like Mr. Rony. They pretended to have paid taxes when they had not.
"I'm handing it over to Mr. Dany at the tax company too! He's been helping me for ten years!" rony is very strict.
"Sir Dany? As far as I know, he's been fired for corruption, sir!" answer Remond.
"Fired? When?" Rony's curious.
"About two years ago, sir!"
"But I haven't seen him in a long time. Even I gave the tax payment money through his account!"
Rony begins to realize that he has been tricked by Dany.
"Sorry, sir. If so, please file a complaint with the police. But you still have to pay that tax for five years. Here's the file, sir!" Remond handed over some files to Mr. Rony.
Rony read it right away. His head was immediately dizzy as soon as he saw the amount that was quite large up to one billion.
"Crazy! What's this much?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"As you know, the company owned by the father there are three. Not to mention the property you own. All righty! I am only in charge of notifying you and please contact the official tax payment section. Excuse me, sir!" Remond stood up and prepared to leave.
Rony was just stunned to see the file Remond had given him. Turns out he's been tricked by Dany all this time. His sentence came slowly.
His head is getting sick. He stood up to take the medicine. But his sight went dark. Soon, Rony collapsed and fell to the floor. His body doesn't move anymore. Is he dead?
