Bams' footsteps continued to slowly approach the column where Luke and Salwa were. Salwa leaning against the wall of the column looked at Luke who was trying to take a small glance at Bams from the edge of the corner of the column.


"Bombs!" Call Jily when Bams is about to reach the whereabouts of Luke and Salwa who are now sighing quietly. "Why are you there like people wanting to turn over?" Jily asked Bams who turned her body towards her.


"Who's the thief?" Deny Bams.


"Then?"


"It's nothing." Answer Bams diverts. "How's salma?" Tanya Bams invites Jily back by leaving Luke and Salwa who look over from behind the column.


"Are they lovers?" Salwa asked to see Jily embracing Bams' waist while stepping hand in hand.


"It can be." Luke's reply made Salwa look up at Luke, who knitted his eyebrows. He looked at the old Bams who was now putting his hands on his shoulders while throwing a smile at Jily who was looking at him. "Stop looking at me like that." Luke's reprimand lowered his gaze on Salwa.


"Why?" Ask Salwa. "You don't like it?" The connection makes Luke pull away by coming out from behind the column.


"I have to go see Ronal today." Luke answers ignoring Salwa's question by continuing his steps.


"You haven't answered my question." Salwa protests follow Luke. "Why?" Striking the way makes Luke stop his steps. "Do you prefer Salma to see you like that?" He looked up at Luke who was silent before him.


"You can go to Auntie's place by yourself, right'?" Ask Luke who then saves away ignoring Salwa's question. "I heard Indri was already there." Just keep going.


"Lord!" Shouting Salwa made Luke stop his steps as everyone there looked at them.


Ohhhh! Deep breath Luke with his face looked up and down.


"What's wrong with you?" Luke asked, turning his body to Salwa, who was 3 meters away from his position. "It's a hospital," he scolded. "Look, everyone's distracted because of you." Seeing people around them who whispered blame Salwa and himself who disturbed the peace of the nursery area.


"Are you ashamed of me?" Ask Salwa who doesn't know what happened to her. His heart felt claustrophobic considering Luke's concern for Salma coupled with the man's attitude that seemed uncomfortable in his existence.


"Not." Luke answered, his feet went up to Salwa. "What's wrong with you?" Caught Salwa's face. "Did I make a mistake?" Ask. "Tell me, Hm!" Her request. "Don't be so angry."


"I hate you." Salwa brushed off Luke's hand and left him.


Got to! It must be Salwa! Hating me will prevent you from having feelings for me. Luke's mind follows Salwa from behind.


You cannot create space for me in your heart because it will hurt Luhan in the future when he returns to your side. Luke's mind turned his car from the front of Salwa who chose to turn his face away from him. The woman seemed still upset to make Luke could not bear to leave her in a bad mood because of her. Moreover Salwa is the woman who made her fall in love for the first time.


"Let's ride!" Pinta Lukas opens the car door for Salwa. "I'll take you to the office." Her speech. "It'll be safer for you to go see Auntie with Bobi." He received no response from Salwa. "Your stubbornness will only make Bams catch you over a----"


--bam! Cut the sound of the car door being slammed hard by Salwa when entering the car.


"I don't want to take you to see Luhan." Said Lukas running his car. "Ronal asked me to come there alone to see him." Reciprocity. "I hope you don't misunderstand me and think I'm planning something else behind you." Clearly, Salwa received no response other than silence that created awkwardness between the two.


At the same time Salma awoke from her sleep. He saw Jily and Bams standing between his beds.


"Where's Dad?" Salma asked Jily to sit down. "Didn't he come with you?" Ask again while wiping his forehead while remembering the incident that happened to him last night.


"The boss is having business." Jily Sahut. "So he can't come to see you here." He then grabbed the dining table and placed it in front of Salma.


"Give me your phone!" Pinta Salma on Jily. "I want to talk to Ay---"


"-Eat first!" Cut Jily open the flask containing the porridge she had brought before.


"Salma Prakas, isn't it?" Tanya Jily made sure while pouring the porridge into the bowl.


"Give me your phone now!" Shouted Salma floating a bowl filled with porridge that Jily had just laid.


Prasggs!


Plakk! Jily's hand drifted to Salma's cheek making her even more berserk by stomping her hand connected with an infusion hose.


"Salma calm yourself!" Jily snapped the woman's shoulders to try to calm the overflowing emotions from Salma's recesses.


"Jily why did you treat me like this? Why?!" His complaints were passed on by crying. "Tell me where is Dad now?" His ink on Jily who pulled away while sighing.


"You eat first," take back the new bowl. "After your energy returns I'll give you a cell phone to call the Boss." Pouring porridge from a thermos. "You can ask directly where the Boss is." Giving a spoon to Salma's hand. "Bams," call Jily to see the blood rising at the infusion.


"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Bams's.


"Call the sisters here." The ink that made Bams come out calling the sisters left the two. "Salma what are your plans after this?" Tanya Jily stopped the blood from rising to the infusion hose.


"What do you mean?" Salma asked back.


"The man who came with me today is the boss's man." Answer Jily. "Last night he had just cleaned up the body of the Boss' bodyguard who had been guarding your residence." Evidently.


Prangg! The sound of a spoon in the hand falling. Salma was shocked to hear what Jily had just said.


"Aren't you pa-pa?" Tegur Jily's.


"I-I'm not pa-pa." Salma replied with a memory of the previous scream coming from the backyard.


"Something big seems to happen makes the Boss furious at all the bodyguards assigned there." Jily. "What exactly happened?" Tanya Jily looked at the silent Salma with her frown while Bams stood up from behind the room listening to the conversation.


Looks like Salwa and Luhan managed to get Mother out of that cursed house. Inner Salma with a blank look.


"Salma?" Tegur Jily keeps Salma awake from her thoughts.


"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Salma continued to bribe the porridge into his mouth to divert the question of Jily before who was still waiting for him.


"Is there someone coming?" Tanya Jily who tried to extract information from Salma for what had made Raden Prakas angry.


"I don't know." Salma answered shut her lips.


"Is that Salwa?" Jily's question kept Salma looking calm. "I saw him here before we came." The next made Bams frown. "He looks so worried about you." He also tried to break down Salma's pretense of his ignorance at events that ended in bloodshed.


"Oh yes." Sahut Salma still maintained his pretense to eliminate suspicion from Jily who would at any time report it to Raden.


"Bombs!" Call her. "Smute his mouth." Jily's moving orders lock Salma's hands back.


"What are you doing?" Complain Salma. "Take me off!" His shouting. "Too-"


- Plakk! Jily's voice slapped again, making Salma speechless with both eyes full of anger and anxiety.
