Rendi tells Mia that Shela will be home and stay for a month, Rendi asks Mia to be patient and act like a housekeeper. Mia asserts Rendi's willingness so that their relationship is not known by Shela.
In the morning Mia sees some new Shela stuff being delivered by the delivery car. Mia pretended not to see him and continued to head to the kitchen to wash the dishes and cook breakfast.
" What do you want to cook?" shela suddenly appeared in the kitchen.
" Mrs fried rice! " say Mia politely.
" Here I help masakin" Shela said kindly.
Shela's attitude towards Mia was so good that Mia felt that what helped her cook that day was not Shela. Mia felt bad for Shela who was very nice and joked with her. Shela tells about her past in High School and other funny stories she thinks. Mia only hears and laughs if something is funny.
" Is she possessed so that today she's been so kind to me" Mia thought.
Shela continues to help Mia until she is ready, Shela then asks Mia to eat with him and Rendi that morning so that makes Rendi amazed to see the attitude of Shela.
" What's this, baby?" ask Rendi to his wife.
" There is no harm if we are good to Mia, she has been helping us and preparing food for you every day. I am so grateful to Mia for being such a good ART" Shela said, looking at Mia and smiling at her.
Rendi looks scared to see the change in attitude of Shela who was once arrogant and rude suddenly become kind and friendly. Rendi continued to look towards his wife who finished her fried rice while talking kindly to Mia.
Mia gets all wrong, Mia used to be very upset with Shela, but when she saw Shela turned good this made Mia so did not have the heart to hurt her.

Shela takes Mia shopping at the Mall, Shela asks Mia to dress properly and not as a maid. Mia who had wanted to wear a negligee then changed her clothes with a nicer and elegant clothes.
" You're beautiful !" shela said with a smile.
Mia and Shela are escorted by Rendi to a Mall not far from their home. Rendi dropped them off in front of the Mall and they both walked into the Mall hand in hand.
Seeing Shela's strange demeanor made Mia become afraid of Shela. Mia feels this oddity is a way for Shela to get rid of her, but Mia's little heart also says that maybe Shela really wants to change.
" Let's buy clothes, you can choose whichever shirt you like. I'll be mad if you don't want to buy" Shela told Mia.
" But I don't have any money Mistress..!" said Mia.
" From now on don't call me madam, just call me 'Shela. I will pay for all your groceries today" Shela said as she picked up some clothes and took them to the fitting room.
Mia then chose some clothes that she loved and brought to the fitting room to try. They also shop for shoes, bags and cosmetics. Shela looks happy while Mia feels strange herself with Shela's attitude.
Shela invites Mia to eat after shopping, they eat ice cream together like friends.
" Why is Madam suddenly nice to me?" mia asked while enjoying her ice cream.
" Don't call me madam, I know you're not a maid" Shela said.
" sthat mean?" ask Mia.
" I already know all about you, I told people to spy on you and find out about you" Shela said flatly.
Mia was trembling with Shela's statement, Mia was so scared that she wanted to take her phone and call Rendi that her wife already knew about their relationship.
Mia did not know what to behave like, Shela's statement was well understood by Mia. Mia wanted to ask again but she felt guilty and afraid that her words would anger Shela.
" Are you confused and scared?" ask Shela.
" Yes, I don't understand what all this means" Mia said.
" I'll explain to you later when we're home, I'll tell you about Rendi and all her evil behavior during this time. You don't trust him easily, he's ruined my life and made me suffer all this time" Shela explained.
" I know that you're not a maid, but my husband's mistress!" firmly Shela.
" I'm sorry !!" mia said.
" Let's go home, let's talk in your room later. I hope you don't tell Rendi, because if she finds out, it's not just me who's losing but you" Shela explained.
**
Once home, Shela and Mia enter Mia's room to talk. At that time Rendi was not at home, they could speak freely without being known by Rendi.
" I'm out of the country a lot, but as long as you're in Rendi's life, I don't go there anymore. I'm stalking you and paying some people to find out about you and your background and what you did with Rendi. All this is unknown to Rendi, at this time I am not pretending to be nice to you, I just want you to know who Rendi really is." explained Shela at length.
Mia was only speechless to hear a long explanation from Shela, Mia did not know who to believe in, between Rendi and Shela, both of which confused Mia. The love that grows in Mia's heart for Rendi makes Mia slightly side with Rendi so that makes Mia feel that all of Shela's words and statements are the way Shela saves her household.
" I married Rendi 15 years ago." Shela begins her story.
" Rendi is not a person like you see right now, he is a handsome but unemployed man. I knew him when my car broke down on my way to my parents' house. Rendi helped me and we were in a relationship until we got married. My parents disagreed with our relationship so I left home just for Rendi's sake. After that incident my parents gave our blessing to our relationship so that we were legal to be husband and wife"
Shela sighed and continued her story.
" The first year of our marriage, Rendi's true nature was smelled. He often spent money on things that were not important. He often plays women and plays gambling with his friends. When I found out about it, I decided not to have children so that later if we separated, no children would be hurt. We fought a lot and Rendi always threatened to leave me." Shela said in tears.
" Are you afraid of losing Rendi?" ask Mia who is sympathetic to her story.
" Of course not after I found out that all this time he was just after my parents' treasure. But Rendi's parents were very kind to me, they asked me to be patient in dealing with her son. I followed his parents' will that made me suffer for 15 years." Shela took a sip of water to wet her dry throat.
" Rendi very often keeps other women behind me, she thinks I'm stupid and doesn't know any of this. I'm just waiting for the right time to kick him out of my house."
Mia becomes restless if she chooses Rendi to be her life companion.
" If Shela throws him out without giving anything away, it's the same as living with a poor, useless man" Mia thought.
" When I saw you, I told someone to find out about you and your background. After knowing everything there is a sense of resentment and pity on you, I do not like your attitude that can destroy the lives of others for your own happiness and I pity you because you are the next victim" Shela looks at Mia with a flat face.
" How many people are Rendi's victims?" ask Mia curious.
" I don't know, all I know is that Rendi had children from some of her stash and all of her stash was thrown away. Rendi prefers me because I have money and treasures in abundance" Shela said with a cynical smile.
***
Mia is not so sure about Shela's story, she hopes that all of Shela's stories are lies. Mia desperately wants to ask Rendi but Shela forbids it, Shela asks Mia to pretend not to know and continue to be her mistress Rendi.
" I'm so confused, who's lying here??" mumble Mia.
