Two weeks passed, Rizal's condition had gradually recovered, because Rizal was actively doing therapy for his healing. He was bored of not doing his usual activities. In addition, he also wants to immediately let go of the longing to be in contact with the wife, because Grace continues to whine so that she will recover quickly.
Currently, Rizal has started to move in his office, although he did not spend all day in his office. After lunch, she chose to rest with Grace who had entered the age of ten weeks pregnant. The baby bump is beginning to appear in Grace's stomach.

" Sir, there's Mr. Bondan." Vito tells Rizal's best friend to come to the office. At the same time Bondan also appeared in Rizal's workspace.
" Hi, Zal! Howareyou? Is it starting to recover?" Sapa Bondan while doing a fist bump on Rizal. It's Bondan's second visit after Rizal wakes up from his coma.
" Alhamdulillah, not a hundred percent but already able to move," said Rizal rose from his chair and stepped towards the sofa, allowing Bondan to sit.
" Thank God you've been able to move back." Bondan sat on the sofa in Rizal's room.
" What do you want to drink, Dan?" Ask Rizal later.
" No, Zal. I'll just take it myself" Bondan refused.
" Aren't you so busy you could stop by here, Dan?" Tanya Rizal chuckled.
" I happened to pass by so close to here that I stopped by." Bondan explains why he got to Rizal's office. " Are you really well, Zal?" Bondan watched his best friend.
" Do I still look sick, Dan? Yes, sometimes I still like to limp, but the rest I've improved," replied Rizal.
" What's why? Why are you asking me that, Dan?" His instincts as an investigator make Rizal can feel that there is something Bondan is hiding from him.
" There's something I want to tell you, Zal. It's about Joe." Bondan did not tell me about Joe when he came first when Rizal, just woke up, because he felt the time was still not right.
" Joe? Has he been caught?" Rizal hasn't been told about Joe by Bondan. Grace, Isabella, Agatha and Rivaldi. They deliberately kept this from Rizal. As Rizal finds out from his men, Joe manages to escape after his suk menu.
" When you were in the hospital, Rivaldi managed to find Joe. He and his men intend to frame him for making calculations with Joe, before handing him over to the authorities. At that time, Grace found out and asked to come meet with Joe. because the two wanted to pay back for all the crimes Joe had done to him, to Bella and to you. I also went there to look after Grace because I knew your wife was pregnant." Bondan begins to open up the events of Joe's entrapment.
Rizal listens seriously to Bondan's story about Joe's arrest.
" It all went well at first when we, me and Rivaldi taught Joe a lesson. However, unexpectedly, Grace carries a sharp weapon and nibi kam Joe in the stomach just like Joe meni kammu, Zal." Bondan admits what he's really covering up from Grace and the others.
Rizal printed even he rounded his eyes and opened his mouth simultaneously when he heard the information conveyed Bondan related to the action carried out by his wife.
" Grace ni kam Joe?" As if not believing in his hearing, Rizal asked, hoping that what he heard was wrong.
" Yes, your wife was like possessed when she did that. Grace is furious at Joe for the actions he's done to you, Zal. Therefore, he did the same to Joe." Bondan.
" What about Joe's condition?" Of course Rizal was worried if Joe had bad luck, because it would affect his wife.
Bondan breathed a rough breath before he continued his story. The story he was going to tell next was very heavy. He glanced towards the door to make sure no one was listening to his words.
" What's going on, Dan?" Bondan did not immediately answer, making Rizal more curious.
" Joe lost a lot of blood, and he died while we were taking him on the way to the hospital." Bondan reveals the facts that happened to Joe after the incident conducted by Grace. " We immediately buried him in a public cemetery in the area" Bondan continued.
" Innalillahi wa innailaihi rojiun ..." Rizal looks limp knowing what the wife has done to cause Joe's life to drift.
" us? Who knows about this?" Ask Rizal. Of course he wants to know anyone who knows the secret about Joe's condition.
" I, Rivaldi and two of Rivaldi's men. I don't think Rivaldi's men would have betrayed his boss. So it doesn't look like this is going to be revealed and Grace's position is safe from the law." Bondan knew what he was doing was wrong. Hiding and eliminating traces of a criminal act. However, he was just trying to protect Grace.
" It's all coming home to you now, Zal. You're her husband." Bondan feels that now Rizal has the right to decide what to do with Joe's case.
Rizal took a deep breath. It turned out that many unexpected things happened when he was unconscious. It was a happy thing when she heard about Grace's pregnancy. Now, he gets very bad news because it turns out the wife has committed criminal acts to kill noah Joe.
" Thank's for your help keep this a secret, Dan." said Rizal later.
" I'm protecting Grace because you were still so engrossed in your sleep. Now you have the right to protect Grace, "said Bondan later.
***
After Bondan's death, Rizal decides to return home. The fact of Grace's actions to Joe had made him shocked. However, he did not want his wife to deal with the authorities.
Rizal walked slowly up the stairs to his room. She opened Grace's room. His wife was sitting on the back of the spring bed headboard while watching television.
" Mr ..." Rizal walked over to his wife and clenched her tightly and kissed her. She feels Grace's love for her so much that she injures Joe for wanting to avenge what Joe did to her. Even though he realized what his wife was doing was wrong.
" Why, Pih?" Grace is confused because Rizal suddenly enters the room and hugs and even kisses her.
" Don't do anything stupid anymore! I don't want you in legal trouble, Grace!" Rizal certainly did not want his wife to be imprisoned even though he knew what was done by his wife was wrong.
Grace looked up at the husband. Looks like he knows what Rizal's words mean about legal matters. She suspected that her husband had found out about Joe.
" Do you mean Papih?" Grace did not want to rush to guess directly what Rizal said.
" You shouldn't have done that to Joe, Grace. It's very dangerous for you!" Rizal actually regretted Grace's reckless actions that dared to negate Joe. Even though she knew Grace didn't mean to kill Joe.
" I want him to feel what Papih feels, Pih! He could not escape and live freely without receiving recompense for the crimes he had committed." Grace felt the reply she had done to Joe was indeed deserved by Joe.
" But it's very dangerous for you, Grace!" Rizal disagrees with Grace.
" Once, Pih! Besides, Mr. Bondan said he survived, so don't bother with Joe's business! Let her be brought to justice and hope she doesn't disturb our household anymore." Grace doesn't talk about Joe anymore.
Rizal tightened his embrace. It is inconceivable that his wife knew what had really happened to Joe. And Rizal did not want to risk making his wife shocked and frightened when he knew Joe was actually dead. For this time, Rizal was forced to break the law for covering up criminal acts committed by his wife.
