The morning sunlight infiltrated through the gaps of the curtains that did not cover the window tightly. The glare of the scorching light was so dazzling to the eyes, that the figure of Rival sleeping facing towards the window became disturbed. His eyes blinked, adjusting the sunlight that hit his body.
Drowsiness was still enveloping, so He was very reluctant to get out of his bed. Pain throughout the new body felt, because He who lacks rest time. Yes, Rival can just close the eyes at three in the morning. Because He could not fall asleep, so He missed his morning prayer.
Too much thinking about the continuation of his relationship with Mely, really made Rival energy drain. He opened his eyes to see the clock perched in the room. It turned out to be seven in the morning.
Rival pulled out the blanket that covered his body. Get up from the bed, stretch his muscles that feel stiff and pained. He got out of bed, walked to the bathroom.
Rival is ready to go to work. Picked up his cell phone lying on his desk. His phone ran out of battery.
Rival walks weakly into the dining room, he has to fill his stomach, so that the medicine to be taken reacts appropriately.
"Abang Rival, is it better?" tanya Sari, who now serves Rival breakfast.
"Sari has improved, although nausea and dizziness are still present. But I can still tolerate." He said he took his medicine after finishing his breakfast.
"Oh yeah, what's the big master's room in the lock?" ask Rival to Sari. He wanted to find something in Mr. Ali's room.
"The key is the same as my Bang. Because even though the big master and lady are not here. We clean it every day." Sari replied with a little wonder. There is a need for what Brother Rival to the master's room is great.
"I asked for Sari's key. There's an extra document you want to take, keep Dad in his room." Rival said with confidence.
Sari walked towards the kitchen. Picking up the keys to her employer's room in place of a special keychain all the rooms in the house were.
After getting the key to Pak Ali's room, Rival walks weakly with an abnormal heartbeat. He felt like he was just a thief who wanted to take the valuables in Mr. Ali's room.
After entering Mr. Ali's room, he looked for the thing he wanted. Toothbrush Pak Ali. But, because of the toothbrush in the bathroom there are two. Mama Maryam's toothbrush, so Rival took both.
He also, looking for strands of hair scattered in Pak Ali's bed. Unfortunately, he did not find a single hair in the room.
"Si Sari was too clean to sweep this room. Cook a single strand of hair nothing is left behind." His speech is still looking in every corner of Mr. Ali's room. Starting from the dressing room, bathroom, up to the balcony. Not even one hair is there. Rival snorted angrily out of that room.
"At least I can brush these teeth." Say it slowly and put the toothbrush into his briefcase.
Rival drove his car into the office. He wanted to make sure to his secretary, when the schedule of meetings with business relations was held. Because, everything has been arranged by his secretary.
"The meeting was at two in the afternoon. I'd better go to the hospital first. I have to test my DNA and Mr. Ali." He said, leaving his phone on his desk.
Rival also did a DNA test, it turns out the same hospital as when Pak Ali also did a DNA test.
"Will it come out today, sir?" rival said impatiently.
"If today can't sir. DNA testing comes out one week at the earliest."
"For a long time, I want to be sure as soon as possible. That's what I need." Rival said, starting to be unsettled. He could wait that long. He must have strong evidence that he is also the son of Mr. Ali. After the DNA test comes out, he'll tell Mely.
"That's the procedure sir." Answer the medical officer.
"Tomorrow I must get. I'll pay anything." He said firmly and stared intently at the medics in front of him.

Rival also attended the meeting. Even though the body is less fit, as well as a feeling of sadness. Rival can still work with professionals. So the meeting got a good business deal.
Time has shown at five o'clock in the afternoon. Rival just got to his office. Tired, he threw his body on the bed in his study.
His hand, moving grabbed his phone in his pants pocket. Which from this morning in his non-activate.
Just now on, Rival's phone was unceasingly ringing. There are a lot of messages coming in. Starting from his wife Mely, Pak Ali and his sister Ridwan in the village.
With slightly trembling hands, Rival placed his phone on his bed. He was so afraid, to take the call.
He was not ready to listen, the amount of babbling his wife later. Because from last night Mely called him. But never lifted it. Even this daily one, he deactivated his cell phone. Because of his unpreparedness to face his wife.
His phone kept ringing which made him frustrated. Rival has finally turned off his phone. Trying to close his already heavy eyes, but he could not close them. Because his brain is still thinking.
So by trying to relax and discard all negative preconceptions. Rival finally fell asleep. Because his body needs rest.

At his father's house, Mely appears to be raging to all ART. He who can't communicate with Rival from last night. He decided to go to his parents' house this afternoon.
At first He had no intention to get angry, until Sari went into his room, carrying the avocado juice he asked for.
"Non, Rival brother slept here last night. Does Non know that?" sari asked, standing by her bedside Mely held the tray with a cynical smile. He was indeed less regent to his young Miss. Because, He liked Rival.
"Yes knows. My husband's here, want to get the document in Dad's office." His words began to suck up his avocado juice.
"What kind of Rival does Non hurt?" ask her curiously.
"sick..?" mely said more confused.
"Yes, last night Abang Rival was vomiting, until limp was not powered." Sari said shuddering in horror. He recalled the appalling state of Rival. That Rival's body was full of sweat. But his body temperature is cold.
Mely rolled her eyeballs, for a moment she smiled. She just remembered, that she was pregnant again and the one with the worst cravings was her husband.
Why did the young Miss smile instead, when I said that Brother Rival is sick. Is Miss happy. That's Rival koit's brother." Said origin.
Mely glared her eyes. "You don't know yourself, Sari. You can pray Mas Rival like that." Mely began to get annoyed at her maid who did not know herself.
"Yes sorry Miss, I'm surprised. Why isn't Non sad or worried about Abang Rival." Sari answered, He does not accept being told by a person who does not know himself.
"Mas Rival has been that ordinary, ever since I was pregnant. You're there, prepare dinner. I'll just wait for Mas Rival here. I'm sure he'll be here before he gets home." Mely said, expelling the pretentious Sari by shaking her hand.
Time has shown at eight o'clock in the evening, but Rival did not go home to Mr. Ali's house. Mely had also contacted the maid at their home asking if her husband had returned to their home. But, her reply was Rival did not return to their home.
Rival that does not come, makes Mely worried and upset. What's wrong with her husband. His phone was inactive from last night. Really Mely was so worried about him, Anxiety enveloped his heart.
"Why are you Mas, why can't your phone be reached?" he said while pacing on the porch of his parents' house.
"I can't stay here. I'm sure something's not right. I'll look for him in the office." He said by squeezing his fingers. Walk quickly to his room, to pick up his bag.
Mely asked the driver to take her to the office. The towering building was already quiet, although Mr. Satpam and overtime employees were still in the building, and some overtime employees wanted to go home.
With a hasty step, Mely asked Mr. Budi to accompany her to Rival's study.
From the outside, Rival's room looks bright, which can be seen from Rival's work door which is partly glass. Mely was sure her husband was still in the room.
"Sir, just wait in the basement!" exclaiming Mely, Mr. Budi also left Mely in front of the door of the coworking space of her Husband.
Mely pressed the door handle. Since the door was not locked, Mely easily opened it. He didn't see Rival on the desk chair or on the couch. So that the feet step into the break room in the corner of the workspace.
Mely faintly heard the voices of men and women. The voices of the man and woman were like exhaustion and spoke with bawling breaths.
Mely was so curious, that she sped up her pace. Because he knew the voice of the man. When I was in the doorway, how surprised Mely was to see the sight before her.
