As usual, Sani welcomed Sarah and Fabio as if they were his own family. There was a desire in his heart to make Sarah and Fabio truly part of his family. Therefore when Sandi intends to make Sarah his wife, Sani ma'am very supportive. But she has to accept the fact that Sarah is not willing to be Sandi's wife.

"San, you buy food. I don't cook anything, I don't think there will be any guests" Sani told Sandi

"Not bother, Mom. Eat something, don't buy everything. Pity me Sandi, just got home from work. Must be tired, "prevent Sarah.

"It's okay, pity my grandchildren if the food is not good" replied Ms. Sani.

"Yes, it's okay. Not far from buying it. Come on Bio, want to come with me, right? We're buying food!" take Password to Fabio.

Fabio nodded and walked towards Sandi.

"Wih, Daddy's handsome son. Just put on weight!" sandi said as she held Fabio and left the house.

Finally, Sani was free to talk to Sarah.

"What's up, honey?"

"There's nothing, ma'am. Just want to get away from the routine," Sarah tried not to show her distress.

"Speak, Son. I know you have a problem. Talk to mom, who knows after talking you'll feel relieved."

"It's about Fabio's father, ma'am?" sarah answered while looking down.

"Why with him?"

"He wanted to take Fabio away from me" Sarah said.

"So they met? Alhamdulillahot. Why would he suddenly ask Fabio? As if unaware that he had been ignoring you all along!"

"The whole story, Mom. He said that he did not want to part with the people he loved anymore" Sarah explained.

"So he wants you to go back to him? Have you explained your divorce?"

"Udah, Mom. Sarah was clear from the beginning. He was very disappointed and sad. He didn't know we had children. For a long time maybe she'd seen us go together, she started to get suspicious and ask about her son."

"Keep telling him?" ask Sani.

"Yes. Mas Rudi said we can not break someone's punishment, sinning the law," explained Sarah.

"Wait, wait. Who is Mas Rudi?" ask Ms. Sani

Sarah hesitated to answer.

"Mas Rudi is a man who is currently close to Sarah" replied Sarah slowly.

"Oh... Alhamdulillahot. May you be fooled. You've been alone too long, son. It's time you had another couple. You should move." It turns out that Ms. Sani supports her relationship with Rudi.

"At first mas Rizal did not discuss about him wanting to take Bio. Sarah is calm. But he said that. Sarah got scared" Sarah hugged Sani's mom.

"So you came here to avoid him?"

Sarah nodded.

"It's good that you come here, otherwise you will be very worried about you. For a while you stay here until you feel calm and ready to face his father Bio. Come on, take your things to the room. Maghrib in a minute, you clean up first."

Sani leads Sarah to her room and soon Sandi and Fabio come with two packs of chicken satay.

"Mama, look at this. Dad bought us chicken satay. Bio wants to eat chicken satay!" scream Fabio.

"Yes, Son. But now Bio takes a shower first, huh? I'll take a shower and eat satay. Okay?" said Sarah.

"Sama mama aja, pity Om Sandi is still tired," said Sarah because she felt bad for Sandi.

"It's okay, Sar. All right, I'm gonna take a shower, too" Sandi pulled Fabio's hand.

Accidentally their hands touch each other and make Sarah shocked and release her hands.

"Let's take a shower, Dad!" invite Fabio to surprise Sarah and Sandi.

"Oh yeah, come on. Come on!" answer Sandi.

While elsewhere Rudi again loses Sarah and tries to contact her. She was so worried because Sarah hadn't given her the news since this morning. Even in the afternoon when he visited Sarah's house, he did not meet Sarah and Fabio.

Rudi asked Arini, but Arini did not give an answer that could satisfy him. He began to think of everything, including his suspicions towards Rizal. Moreover, the last few days Sarah always complained about her fear of her ex-husband.

With Arini's help, Rudi gets Rizal's mobile number. But he still hesitated and considered contacting her. Rudi intends to investigate Rizal secretly.

For days Rudi did not get any news from Sarah. Sarah's office friends ask her about Sarah's whereabouts, especially Vina who feels very lost Sarah.

Until one day Vina tells Rudi that Sarah contacted her. Rudi was very enthusiastic about the news and asked Vina to tell him the whereabouts of Sarah and Fabio at this time.

"You serious, Vin?" ask Rudi.

"Yes, Bang. Sarah said she needed some time alone. But I suspect this has something to do with her ex-husband. Sarah said she didn't want to be separated from Fabio!" clearly Vina.

"I also thought so. But after I investigated Rizal was also looking for Sarah and Fabio," said Rudi.

"Just try Bang Rudi's phone tonight Sarah, because two days he called me malem-malem."

"The phone number is the same, right?" ask Rudi.

"still. Maybe in the afternoon she was afraid her ex-husband called her and could track her whereabouts. Bang Rudi WA Sarah just now, say that tonight you want to call her."

"Yes, I'll make an appointment through WA, okay?" said Rudi.

Later that night Rudi called Sarah as he promised via WA chat.

"Assalamualaikum" said Sarah.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Thank God I finally found you. You're just as good as Bio, right there?" ask Rudi happily.

"Alhamdulillah, Mother. I'm sorry I can't go to work for a while. Can't you?"

"Yes, it's okay. Later I coordinate with your part so that I can send your assignment online to your email."

"That's what it is, huh?" ask Sarah.

"Well, adjusting your condition now, after all, the office also needs your writing. I'll be emailing tomorrow, okay?"

"Alhamdulillah, thank you, yes Mas?" said Sarah.

"Not to say thanks. It's also for the benefit of my office, right? Oh yes, my dear. You really why the hell? Tell me the same story!"

Sarah recounts all her occurrences and worries if Rizal will actually take Fabio.

"I'm the same Vina already suspected this had something to do with him. It turns out that our guess is correct. Don't worry, Sar. You stay there first, I'll investigate Rizal. Next we'll be in touch via email and Skype, huh? I won't call you to this number. If you could just use a new number, would you?"

Sarah agreed and deactivated her mobile number.
