Eighteen months passed, now Romi and his family have to live very simply. There is no more luxury that they feel like they used to, before problems hit their families. And it happened because of their own actions.
So far Romi has been trying to find people who have spread his disgrace videos on company computers, but unfortunately he has not been able to find any clues from his search. And it seems that he has to be patient about it, or maybe he has to forget it if indeed this search does not produce results again. Moreover, the company now they have sold, so it will be increasingly difficult for him to find evidence about the person behind the hijacking of the computers.
To meet the needs of his family, Romi has been working as a private employee in a small company in one of the cities of Jakarta for almost seven months. He was forced to take the job because no one else wanted to take it to work because of his family problems that had spread since a year and a half ago. And that job he could get because there are insiders who want to help him.
At 19:48 Romi had just arrived at his rented house. Without knocking on the door, he just went inside his house with a slightly messy condition.
Aurel who was accompanying Andre was playing in the living room stared at her husband who had just entered.
"Papa," cried Andre with a run towards Romi.
Aurel got up from his seat and also approached Romi to welcome his return. As she was kissing the back of her husband's hand, suddenly her nose caught a very different scent on her body.
"You changed the parfume, Mas?" ask Aurel wonder.
"No. Why the hell?" ask Romi back.
"Why does your body smell weird? It smells like expensive parfumes. Don't you just wear a parfume that's two hundred thousand?"
Romi raised one of his hands to try to smell his scent from his shoulder. He seemed to think for a moment to remember what smell was on his body, then he smiled faintly at Aurel.
"Oh, maybe this is the smell of my client's parfume. You see, I just got a pretty big project after a long time working there. You take it easy, we will soon live a normal life again after all this project is finished," Romi said by rubbing Aurel's right cheek and kissing Andre's puffed cheek.
"What do you say to your clients, so they smell like this, Mom?" aurel asked possessively and ignored her husband's last words about normal living.
"Not really thinking. Just a quick hug as a farewell. Well, like a co-worker in general, honey."
"You didn't lie, did you?" Aurel raised both eyebrows suspiciously."
"Jeez, don't dong, honey. You are suspicious of that anyway. Not usually. Rather than you suspect so, you better prepare warm water for me. I'm gonna take a shower, my body's so sticky."
Romi dropped Andre off his carrier, and he went straight into his room to get ready to take a shower.
Aurel who saw that only sighed. She also has no idea why she has been so possessive with her husband for the past month. Whether it was just her excessive feelings or what, clearly she did not want to accuse her husband of a no-no. He did not want his jealousy to make their relationship so often quarrel.
She must trust her husband. Romi works hard bones, work overtime until home at night, all that just to meet the needs of his small family and also his mother who still has to be taken care of.

Raf Group's.
Inside the main director's room, a debate between father and son was going on. Where Basir is currently scolding Ardo for what happened to Romi and his family so far.
Yes, Basir already knew the incident a year and a half ago for what Ardo had done to Jinan's ex-husband and his family. He knew all this because two hours ago he overheard a conversation between Adli, Kemal, and Ardo saying that they had to keep an eye on Romi's movements so that the man did not look for Jinan.
Basir was suspicious of his son from the beginning. But because there was no strange incident that befell the people around him, Basir finally thought that his suspicion of Ardo was not true. And when he heard the conversation between the three men, Basir finally realized that his suspicions had been true.
He did not expect if the child he had educated as well as possible it could do something very detrimental to others like that. He was very sure if his son's evil behavior was caused by Ardo who had worked with the wrong person while in Germany yesterday.
"You're just thinking about that now? What you've been thinking all this time huh!" shouted Basir. "You know, Jinan would never have thought about her ex-husband's condition if the bad events that befell them were purely due to their own fault. But this incident? All of this was purely caused by you, Ardo. And you should know, the real thing that would be a burden on Jinan's mind is not her ex-husband's problem. When he finds out that you did it all, Jinan will think that he's married to a criminal like you."
"Pa, Ardo has given them little punishment for having done evil to Jinan. That's it, nothing more."
"Punishment? Why is it so easy to talk like that. Who do you think you are? The god? Remember Ardo, we do not live to judge someone's life. If they are guilty, leave everything to God. Let God repay him later. You have no right to that!"
Ardo was speechless with the words of his papa, he let out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry Ardo, Pa."
"You two too. Just be invited to do evil by him." Basir pointed towards Adli and Kemal who were standing behind Ardo with their heads lowered. "Other than you, Adli. You promised me you'd never do anything negative like this. But now what? You really let me down."
"Tuan–"
"Be quiet," cut Basir fast. "Now you give back what you have broken from that family. Responsibility for what you've done."
"But, Pa–"
"Why again?" sela Basir who does not like the word but Ardo said. It was as if the man was trying to refute his orders.
"Actually the virus doesn't do much harm to their computers, Pa. It turns out that Adli doesn't actually make viruses that are harmful to their computer devices. Ardo learns that only after Adli explains it to Ardo when Ardo hacks their office cctv a week after the incident."
"Their company went bankrupt it had nothing to do with Ardo Pa, but because there was no longer anyone who wanted to cooperate with their company. All because of the news of his son's affair and also the news of defamation of Jinan that made them reluctant to cooperate with them."
"You're saying there's nothing to it? Can't you think that everything that's happened started because of you! If you hadn't spread the man's disgrace, they probably wouldn't be like this right now."
"You know what else, Pa. It's all over. Well, let's just say this is karma for those who've made Jinan's life suffer for some know."
Basir shook his head, he really did not expect that his son could say that. With a feeling of annoyance Basir went from the room to go home. The initial intention of his arrival to the office to talk about birthday surprises for Elif finally he undo because his mood has been destroyed due to the reality he heard.
When the door of the room had just opened in half, Basir stopped his steps as Ardo called out to him.
"Ardo please, don't tell Jinan, Pa. Ardo doesn't want Jinan to think about this."
Basir looked at his son's face with a look of emotion. "Papa doesn't promise" he said coldly, then resumed his steps to get out of there before his emotions came back to the surface.
"What if you tell Jinan? Damnit. If Jinan finds out, this could be messed up. Though I had deliberately brought him here as soon as possible so that Jinan did not know all this," Ardo murmured frantically.
