Luke stared at the ceiling of the room while lying on the bed. Salwa had fallen asleep in the bed opposite to him. He still thought about the mess that had happened to him.

"Bams may still have a grudge for Alex's death against me." Luke spoke to himself. "While Ronal must have come to arrest me." Reciprocity. "What happened to Raden?" Squeeze his brows. "Has he set me up?" Looking at Salwa who suddenly turned her body towards him. "But for what? There's no way he did it to help Bams avenge me?" Ask Lukas.

No way! I know what kind of person Raden is? He couldn't possibly involve himself for his men's personal problems. Luke's mind pulled the blanket up to cover his face.

The next morning Bams and a group of his men found traces of blood droplets from the gate to the building.

"Suck!" Bams kicked a pile of used wood fireplace on the floor that had been cracked along with bandage cutouts. "Quick check everything!" Bams yelled at his men while kicking a bottle of water that was gulped down by Luke last night.

Half an hour passed Bams and the others scattered looking but found nothing.

"Luckoohh!" Bams' screams full of anger startled Ronal who had just arrived in his car.

"Hey!" Call Ronal to one of Bams' men passing in front of him when opening the car door. "He why?" Ask while closing the car door.

"The man we hunted yesterday managed to escape." The answer then followed the other children.

"Oh." Sahut Ronal glanced at the car parked in front of the building now only two more. "He must have run away in the other car." Ronal pointed to the two parked cars.

"What's empty you say?" Tanya Bams who knew from the beginning there were only two cars. Both cars are still parked there. "And why are you still in-"

"- Stop yelling obscurely at me!" Cut Ronal. "Looking at you made me realize that it's better to have a smart brain than a big muscle!" The connection made Bams' men hold back laughter hearing Ronal's scorn on Bams. "Last night there were three cars parked here." Ronal said cynically.

"You sure?" Ask Bams.

"Do you really not realize it?" Ask Ronal back.

"If you've known it from the beginning." Answer Bams. "Why did you just say it now?" Ask Bams.

"I think since the beginning of this building owner's car there are three." Answer Ronal.

"Looking at you made me realize that having big muscles is better than someone who claims to have a smart brain!" His reply to Ronal who previously sneered at him made Bams' men again hold back laughter.

"Wait!" Sela Ronal ignored Bams' scorn on her.

"What?" Ask Bams.

"There's someone who came to help him in a special way." Said Ronal turning her body to step into her car. "Well! The people we hunt are really something." Praise Ronal followed by Bams from behind. "Eitts!" He shook off Bams' hand, who was about to open the door of his car to enter.

"You need my muscles to knock it out." Reply Bams pulled Ronal's hand back to get into the car. "You follow this car from behind!" His orders were then from inside the car on his men who moved in the other car.

At the same time Lukas and Salwa were relaxing enjoying breakfast on the balcony.

"Regarding the reason for coming after me here." Luke said as he descended from the balcony. "You haven't said it yet." Throw the rice wrap in the trash.

"Oh about that I'm be---." Salwa's speech was interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone. "-See, I'll pick up the phone first." He reaches for the phone and sees an incoming call from Salma making the two look at each other.

"God!She again?" Ask Luke to grin. "Why he always calls moment--" he paused for a moment. "-Luck!" Luke saw Salwa who was petrified staring at him.

"Hello." Welcome Salwa.

"Where are you?" Ask Salma from the other end of the phone.

"What?!!" Snaps Salma. "You know it's precarious!" His impact again made Salwa keep his phone away from the ear.

"Yes brother. Salwa knows." Legally. "This is also why we're going back today." Reciprocity.

"Where's Luhan?" Ask Salwa. "Try me on the phone, I'll talk." Her request.

"For what Salwa must speak specifically to my husband."

"Yaaa--" He paused for a moment thinking of reason. "-Yaa Brother just wanted to help you just persuaded him to come home soon." Reciprocity.

"God, take a shower." His answer to lying made Lukas grin. "I'm closing, brother. It still wants to be different." End phone.

"Basic ganjen!" Salwa turned and found Luke staring at her.

"Have you met your husband?" Luke asked with a nod of his head by Salwa. "Is he okay?" Luke's question made Salwa kneel before him. "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to ask you for help!" Pleads with both palms fused. "This is the reason I followed you here." He bows his body and begs Luke.

"Stand from there!" Luke turned his gaze away from the kneeling Salwa and bowed before him. "You're just making me look like a bad person." Reciprocity.

"Aren't you a criminal." Sahut Salwa got up from the floor and sat at the bedside with Luke.

"Are you going to turn me over to the police?" Ask Luke who was returned to his head by Salwa. "Why? Didn't you just say I'm a criminal?"

"I need you!" Answer Salwa. "Where might I turn you over to the cops." Reciprocity.

"If you don't turn me over to the police how can you free your husband." Luke's Sahut.

"Without handing you over I can get him out with this." Pointing Luke's finger.

"Why did you come to ask me for help?"

"I need you to replace my husband at home and in the company." Answer Salwa.

"Did your husband run away with another woman?" Cibir Luke felt Salwa's request was unreasonable.

"It would be much better if he could do that." Answer Salwa. "But even now to get out of bed he can't do it alone." Salwa.

"What exactly happened?" Ask Lukas.

"Lord comma." Looking to Lukas. "He's in a vegetative state." Reciprocity. "Nobody knows when he'll wake up from his coma." Clearly Salwa turned her face away from Luke's gaze. He cried while covering his face with both palms.

"I'm sad too." Luke said as he patted Salwa's back who was still crying with a sigh. "But honestly I can't help you." His welcome made Salwa raise her face looking at Luke.

"Luke, I beg you!" Caught Luke's hand. "Emperial group needs you to calm down the directors." Reciprocity. "I don't know who made the news about Luhan disappear. The news managed to shake up the company's shares. And my two in-laws were rushed to the hospital because of this news." Evidently. "Luke, I beg you!" With tears flowing. "You're the only one who can help me."

"I can't!" Reject Lukas.

"Why can't you?" Ask Salwa who now cupped Luke's face that turned him away from her.
