“Tok!. Geck!. Tok!.”
The sound of knocking on the door was heard from the front of Zahra's room.
“Log in!.” Shouted Zahra.
“Sorry!. Am I interrupting?.” Jiang Xi's words that suddenly entered Zahra's room, made Zahra stand up straight from her seat.
“Oh certainly not, Ms. Jiang.” Said Zahra who suddenly felt awkward in front of her boss.
“I'm sorry for suddenly going into your room without notice. I just want to have a more intimate talk with you.” Said Jiang Xi who sounded serious this time.
“It's okay, I'm finishing up some of the remaining work.” Reveal Zahra who then followed Jiang Xi to the guest sofa.
“What do you need to come here, Mom?.” Said Zahra who wanted to know Jiang Xi's purpose in meeting him.
“Zahra.” Jiang Xi said as she clasped Zahra's hands.
“Iya.” Replied Zahra who was staring at Jiang Xi with question marks.
“Call me Mommy!.” Jiang Xi's words immediately made Zahra shocked.
“What?.” Spontaneous remarks from Zahra.
“I mean I know your relationship with Lu Chen I mean my son Jason. So from this second please call me Mommy!. You haven't been able to call me with that call, at least you can call me with that call. Are you ready?.” Jiang Xi asked with a pleading gaze.
“Alright!. Mo's.. Mommy!.” Zahra hesitantly started calling Jiang Xi Mommy.
“Help me to get your heart back!. I know this is a tough request from me. But as a mother, I don't want to lose my only son. Can?.” Pinta Jiang Xi suddenly, a Jiang Xi who always looked tough in Zahra's eyes immediately seemed helpless before Zahra.
Apparently Jiang Xi could no longer contain her grief in the face of the fact that Jason Lu, her son, was moving away from her. Over the years he endured the suffering of being shunned by his own son. Maybe this is the right time to re-establish his relationship with his son through his lover Zahra.
“I know I'm not a good mother to her!. I'm a selfish mother!. Which only concerned me, my feelings and my own success. I regret!. I've done various ways to get close to him again, but the boy's trying harder to resist me. But I saw a glimmer of hope when he was with you, he no longer looked at me as coldly as he used to. Please Zahra!. Help me!.” Pinta Jiang Xi while shedding tears, Zahra did not expect Jiang Xi who had displayed her haughty side to show a weak side before her.
“I'm not the one who knows everything about Lu. I'm just a person who tries to understand him and I can't force him to do something he doesn't like. And I think you can solve this problem on your own with Lu. Since I believe as cold as Lu Chen's heart, he won't let his mother suffer. I know he is a gentle-hearted person.” Reveal Zahra while reassuring the desperate-looking Jiang Xi.
“I know why Lu fell in love with you?. Because Lu liked simplicity, behind him who looked luxurious was actually his heart and mind was very simple. And what he needs is a person who is just like you Zahra. He was very similar to my old self, and my current self was just Jiang Xi who was consumed by an obsession. Obsessions that make the people I love even more distant.” Said Jiang Xi who was embarrassed by Zahra.
“Why are you so formal?. Call me Mommy and don't be formal to me when we're both like this.” Said Jiang Xi who insisted on making Zahra call him Mommy.
“I think so, Mommy.” Say Zahra straightforwardly.
“Well dong!. Thank you Zahra, I just felt relieved because of the advice from you.” Said the delighted Jiang Xi finally Zahra calling him Mommy.
Jiang Xi and Zahra chatted like parents and children. They began to get to know each other more closely and there was no sense of awkwardness between them. And that was where Zahra felt the warmth of a Jiang Xi who had long lost swallowed time.

The sound of water droplets from an old apartment, not far from there there is a bathtub that seems to be being used by someone who is bathing. But when viewed closely a stiff hand plastered clear from the side of the bathtub. The hand is the corpse of a man who we recently know as R, the man who one week ago met with Jia Li. The body of the man appeared to have turned blue and there were burns all over his body.
“BraAkk!!.” The door was forcefully opened.
Two policemen sneaked in to see the contents of the apartment. And they were surprised by the discovery of the corpse of a man who had rotted in the bathtub.
They contacted other police units and reported the incident. Because this R is a man who is being sought because many do a number of scams. One of them is the manufacture of passports, ktp to fake money. He had been hunted by the police for a long time, but in the past two years, R has changed his identity and even changed his face so that the police do not recognize him.
After a long time the police finally managed to get his trail through one of his clients. But once the police got the address it turned out the perpetrator was dead on the spot. R is suspected to be a victim of premeditated murder, when viewed from his death in a bathtub in which there is a hair dryer that is still attached by a stop contact.
The murder was committed less than a week ago. Where at that time Jia Li tried to contact R but he did not manage to contact him turned out R was dead in the hands of the real criminal.
Police found evidence of the murder, including footprints and blood of the man who dried up after being injured entering a window. From the DNA, the police can immediately find out who is behind the murder.

On the other hand Shawn and his men were watching the movements of Madam Feng. Shawn had suspicions of Mrs Feng's involvement in a number of cases that befell Lu Chen and Zahra. And that suspicion started from Madam Feng who always interfered in Jia Li's affairs. He was very confident that Madame Feng had the intention behind it, let alone until the entire servant by his side was changed over in such a short period of time. And plus the case of the disappearance of a maidservant who gave him evidence from Jia Li's room.
And that afternoon Shawn was planning to follow Mistress Feng away.at that time Madam Feng was seen leaving the Mansion without being escorted by her bodyguards. He went out wearing inconspicuous clothes, wearing a mask and sunglasses were very suspicious for a socialite who usually went for shopping or washing his eyes. Because basically socialites really like to look flashy.
And sure enough Shawn's guess, Mrs Feng stopped at one corner of the alley where the alley was far from the big street and from the crowd. Madam Feng entered the alley alone without being accompanied by her bodyguard.
“It seems very strange if he does not have people who protect him like this.” (mandarin language) murmured Shawn who pulled over his vehicle while paying attention to the circumstances around.
Soon he saw an awkwardness, as if he was being watched by someone. And sure enough it turned out that there was someone watching her from a distance, and it turned out that Madame Feng had placed her bodyguard at some point without being seen by anyone. Fortunately Shawn immediately realized it, he immediately hit the gas and immediately left the place.
