Adeline's eyes opened wide when she believed that the sound of crying was the mother's cry. The middle-aged woman was sitting on the cold floor, her hands clasping firmly on the blanket that was also on the floor.
"Mama!" peekik Adeline directly down from her bed and then rushed to Monica.
Monica was still crying, her slightly blackened lips continued to pronounce the name of someone who could not possibly return to the world. Hearing the mother call the name of the sister, Adeline also looked at the mother who was still crying hysterically.
"Mama why?" adeline asked gently while tightly hugging Monica's frail body.
"Where's Ella, Elin? Mama misses him."
Adeline was silent, the woman was confused to answer the question of the mother who suddenly asked the whereabouts of Grasiella. Doctors once warned that they hid the thing that triggered Monica to be affected by mental disorders. If he were to tell the truth, it would aggravate Monica's situation if her mother could not yet come to terms with reality.
"Elin! Quickly get Ella. Mama's dream was Ella asking for help from mama."
"Ma, mama calm down first. Ella must be on break right now. Don't bother him, ma. Mama should also rest first," said Adeline softly, her hands getting tighter hugging the woman she so loved.
"No! I want to meet Ella, Lin. Quickly call your sister!" snapped Monica persisted with her wish.
In his room, Danendra awoke when he faintly heard the voice of someone speaking in a high tone and then followed up with another crying voice. The tall man got out of the bed and walked out of the room.
The voices of the two women were becoming clearer. Danendra further sped up as his hearing caught a snapping sound that he believed was the in-law snapping at his wife.
Danendra hastily opened her in-laws room. His wife and father-in-law were sitting on the floor. Monica stays with her stance to meet with Grasiella, while Adeline continues to try to calm her mother down.
Upset that Adeline refused her request, Monica pushed her son's body into the back of Adeline's wooden desk. Danendra ran over to his wife.
"Are you all right, honey?" tanya Danendra holding Adeline's arm.
Monica stared ferociously at the two people in that place. Highlight his eyes looked angry, probably because his wishes were not obeyed so Monica went back out of control.
"I'm doing fine. Nendra, please get me your mama's medicine. We can't let Mom keep doing that. I'm afraid Mama will run away!"
Danendra nodded then ran towards the place where her in-laws were neatly stored. The man immediately took what his in-laws needed and immediately approached Monica who was still sitting while roaring on the floor. Both of his hands were pulling his own hair.
"Gosh, madam!" squealing a nurse who used to look after Monica.
"You get out of the way quickly, take good care of Devan. Mama let us take care of it!" adeline's orders to the nurse.
An injection was in Danendra's hand. The man immediately injected a sedative in Monica's arm, albeit with great difficulty.
Moments later Monica looks limp, and ends up losing consciousness. It just so happened that Danendra was still holding her body tightly, so the man immediately brought Monica's helpless body onto the bed.
Adeline wakes up and puts on a blanket for Monica. The couple looked at each other. The look on Adeline's face was still tense, while Danendra breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can you meet again, dear?" danendra asked as she looked at the face of her now unconscious father-in-law.
"I don't know, but Mama was trying to meet Ella. Maybe Ella's dream mama" Adeline replied.
"God. This is what I'm worried about if my mom's at home. We're not experts, honey."
"Regardless of how mom used to be, she was the one who took care of me as a child. Although not as sincere as he took care of Ella and Zico," continued Adeline who again remembered her childhood.

Rihanna and Malik are on their way back to the mansion after finishing attending a Reporter event. The two look more friendly after Malik introduced Rihanna to other guests who also attended the event.
Rihanna's cheeks were still flushed with blush. Malik really introduced himself to everyone who had sneered at them until they could not make a sound even to open their mouth even if they had difficulty.
"Kay," call Malik as Rihanna continues to look out.
Rihanna turned to Malik, "Why, Malik?"
"You're happy, aren't you?" ask Malik to make sure.
"Very. You can shut the mouth of those who were gossiping at us with inappropriate words in an elegant way."
"We don't have to repay the bad with the bad, Kay. Instead, we will look better because it does not serve their tyranny," said Malik sage.
"You are the best" said Rihanna.
They spend time on the go with small talk. The late night caused Rihanna to yawn. Malik who saw it also pulled his wife's head slowly to lean on his sturdy shoulder.
"Malik" scolded Rihanna who felt uncomfortable because of the driver's existence.
"It's okay, we don't do things out of bounds. It's just like this" Malik said softly.
Rihanna nodded and did not change position. His head rested on Malik's shoulder. Moments later, Rihanna fell into a dream. Malik smiled as he looked at the tired face of his wife sleeping on his shoulder.
"Sorry, Kay. Because of the event, you are exhausted," muttered Malik.
"We'll stop by the apartment, sir. Pity my wife if sleeping in a position like this is too long," said Malik gave direction, Malik Apartment is indeed closer than where the event took place.
"Good, Sir."
A few minutes later they arrived at the apartment. Malik carried the wife out of the car and then took her into his apartment unit.
Malik laid the body of his wife who was sound asleep in bed. The man then took his shirt in the closet. Malik slowly took off the clothes worn by Rihanna and replaced them with his shirt. He did not want his wife to sleep still wearing dirty clothes. Once done, Malik did not forget to also wear a blanket to warm the wife's body.
The man then went into the bathroom to clean himself up. Finished with the ritual before his sleep, Malik also rested his body that was a little tired.
As the night grew colder, Rihanna shifted her body in search of warmth. The pregnant woman went into the arms of the husband, making his husband's chest the most comfortable pillow.
Meanwhile, Riani who was in the mansion was in a daze. The middle-aged woman who was still beautiful with a hijab covering her long hair was pacing back and forth in the living room. Several times Riani stared at the door of the mansion that was still open. His hands repeatedly fiddled with mobile phones to contact his son and daughter-in-law who had not returned. However, both numbers are difficult to call.
"Actually where are they? Nothing bad happened to Rihanna."
