This time, Ardy's view turned to the figure of Sarah's mother who had just joined them. The young man never thought that he had an older brother. Female. One father, different mother.

Ardy's really confused. Mama often said that she was a bastard. But Papa never told me the truth. Now there is a man who claims to be a real father and also an older sister.

He was puzzled as to who was right and who had lied covered up his life history.

"I'll say goodbye first!" ardy finally said.

"Where are you going, son?" ask Mbah Suko worried.

"Night here, Om. Until everything is safe!" Sarah tries to keep Ardy from leaving the house.

Ardy looked into the girl's eyes.

Overnight at Sarah's? No way! Given Sarah's attitude to him when he was about to enter the house, it feels like Ardy still has to go and keep his distance from him.

"Thank you, I'm sure everything will be fine. I hope what you were worried about never happened to me ... " Ardy immediately rushed to leave them.

"Dik Ardy .." call Sarah's mother.

Ardy stopped for a moment, then immediately got into his car. He disappeared in the middle of the night.

The young man did not come home, he preferred to gather with his friends first, David, Jocky and Boma.

With a few bribes of various foods that were deliberately prepared, the three young people accepted Ardy's presence wholeheartedly.

"You want to rest, sleep on the bed Jocky, Dy," exclaimed Boma who was immediately glared at the owner of the mattress, Jocky.

Ardy smiled wryly, "Gue can sleep anywhere, right, guys?"

"Sure! Can do!" answer the three compact then simultaneously raided the food that was brought by Ardy earlier.

Once again, Ardy smiled at the behavior of his friends.

The young man laid his body on David's bed, his eyes fixed on the top. Looking at the white ceiling of the room while remembering the events that have passed.

The shadow of Rezky and Nola is again present in his memory. Remembering the innocent figure of Rezky who looked very frightened, when he left first in the hospital.

The night that the late Rezky died was in a very sad state. He began to think, there was something that his sister had experienced before breathing out her last breath. His wide-eyed ball was like a sign that he had experienced such overwhelming fear. It must have been an unnatural death.

Then the shabby male figure who often appeared himself, last time came through a dream. It happened moments before Rezky died. Ardy recalled his words that always gave warning to stay vigilant.

Many times he said it.

Ardy thought the man was just an ordinary kingpin who was about to scare him. But if you connect all the series of events with his words, it is possible that the figure is not an ordinary human being. He's not a bully and not crazy. He must be someone who has a life relationship with the Ardy family. But what and who?

Then the presence of Mbah Suko in his life who claimed to be a real father, Sarah with the call of Om and Mother Sarah also called him Sister, what is the relationship of all these events?

Sarah ... ? Ah, the girl seems to be in love with Ardy. But if the fact must be said that between Ardy and Sarah there is still a blood relationship, will the girl still survive the taste?

Ardy continued to think hard until finally asleep in the cradle of nature sleep.

Mbah Suko did not have time to tell about the slums of men and often appeared, only, to the Ardy.

Mbok Inah sobbed sadly in the room accompanied by Sri Kemuning, his son.

"Why, the hell, would you do something like that, Ndok?" ask Mbok Inah to Sri.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Sri himself does not know why it can be such a khilaf?" sri replied while hugging Mbok Inah with a guilty feeling.

"Mother does not think, you should be able to take care of yourself as a woman, Ndok. Not even making trouble and humiliating Mother like that," said Mbok Inah lirih, "This mother has been working in this house for decades. There have been many services and debts that Mr. Karyadi and Mrs Amanda gave to Mother. Even willing to accept you work here. Now what's your reply?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, ma'am. Lady Amanda has forgiven Sri. What else should Sri do? Back to the village? We don't have anyone in the village, Mom!"

Mbok Inah kept crying bitterly, "Mother is ashamed, Ndok! Shame."

The young woman suddenly felt nauseous. He immediately ran to the restroom. His stomach felt stirred, until it went up. Spewing back the contents of his stomach that had filled some time ago.

"Sri ... " Mbok Inah watched his son from behind.

Sri did not answer. The nausea was still left and regurgitated the contents of the stomach for the second time.

"Sri ... " Mbok Inah holds her son's shoulder, "are you sick, Ndok?"

Sri shook her head. But the look in Mbok Inah's eyes could not hide that the old woman was guessing something.

"Maybe just catch a cold, ma'am," replied Sri slowly.

Mbok Inah shook his head, "The bull only gets in the wind, Ndok?"

"Hopefully just catch a cold, Mom!"

"How many days have you not had your period?" ask Mbok Inah suddenly.

Sri turned her back to look at her mother's face, "Mom? What did you ask that?"

"You're pregnant, right?"

"Mom?"

"Jawab it, Ndok!"

Sri did not answer. He hurried to leave his mother's figure pensively sad while rubbing his old chest.

"Duh, Gusti! Forgive us."

I don't think the day goes so fast. Even the night has come. The originally sunlit highway that shone hot, changed with colorful street lights.

Ardy drove his car home. I'm afraid you'll get angry if you're late. Usually things that are small, often used as a reason for Mama to vent her emotions.

So before eight o'clock at night, Ardy intends to be home.

Sure enough, once Ardy set foot, Mama was waiting in front with hateful eyes.

"Where have you been? A whole day running around in Papa's car! Want to show off the treasure and want to be considered the son of a rich man?" Mama started to get angry, "too you! The child does not know himself!"

Ardy won't serve. The young man went straight to his room and lay on the bed.

"Speaking to sleep! Fucking kid!"

Ardy covered his face with a pillow so that the voice of Mama who continues to grumble is not heard.

Feeling unconcerned, Mama leaves Ardy in her room.

Meanwhile Mr. Karyadi was in his room. Busy with all kinds of flowers and incense smoke pouring from the censer.

Lady Amanda was astonished to see her husband's behavior.

"What are the flowers and the incense smoke for, Pa? Like a shaman!" said Mrs Amanda showed a displeased face.

Mr. Karyadi turned to his wife.

"Tonight we have a special guest. It's time for Mama to know and get to know Papa's special guest" replied Mr. Karyadi.

"Who will come?"

"Mama will know!"

Ms. Amanda didn't ask again. He couldn't stand the incense smoke that filled the room. The half-old woman came out of the room while coughing.

"Which one of you likes frankincense smoke?"

After Mrs Amanda's disagreement with Mr. Karyadi last night, the woman did not dare to oppose her husband again.
