“Kak Rico how are you?” ask Iva who's visiting Rico. Her hand held the hand of her husband who no longer refused her.
“Good. Tumben you came in the morning.”
“Iya, sis. I met Mr. Verrel and his wife.”
“What? You're crazy, aren't you? Do you want to kill Iva? Why did you meet them, you think they'd feel sorry for you?” a barrage of questions came out of Rico's mouth who was shocked to hear his wife's words.
“Quiet first brother. I deliberately went there to beg their greatness for brother.”
“Yes, pardon Iva. Your brain is where you put it, huh? You don't know what Verrel.” looks like
“Ma—saf, brother if what I did made you angry. But all this I did so that my brother could be free. I talked to papa and the lawyer. They said there is a possibility that brother did not spend long in prison, brother could be under house arrest.”
“You mean? You think it's that easy? Brother Verrel won't let me out of here."
“That's exactly why I met them in his office. I know they're still angry, but I'm pretty sure Deandra's sister will understand my situation. She is also a woman, surely she understands better.” said Iva explained with confidence. “I won't give up on you, I'd do anything to get you out of here. If necessary I will beg Mr. Verrel and his wife even to the entire Ceyhan extended family if necessary.”
Rico just let out a long sigh, he looked at Iva with an incomprehensible look. ‘Why are you so stupid to do all this? I'll never love you.”
“I know brother does not love me, I hope with the presence of this child, sister can give a little love and attention sister.” pinta woman with a soft look.
“You know it's very hard to do Iva. I don't love you at all, but you're very stubborn. Why are you doing all this? Do you think that by sacrificing, I will love you ?” said Rico rubbing his face rough.
“Tak what. I will wait until your heart accepts me. I'm willing to sacrifice for you, Brother Rico. I love you so much. Allow me to help you.”
Rico did not respond, he was busy with his thoughts. ‘If I can get out with the guarantee it means I can live a normal life. I'm tired of being in here, for a long time I can go crazy.’ he thought.
“Kak Rico! Did you hear me?”
“Yes I heard you.” Rico clasped Iva's hand making the woman gasp in shock. “Are you going to do anything for me?” ask Rico reassuringly. Iva replied with a nod of her head.
“I won't give up. If I could talk to Deandra alone, maybe he would be devastated.”, said Iva. “I'll talk to a lawyer about how much the security deposit.”
“Good. Do what you think is best. I can't stand languishing here anymore.”
“I promise sister. All will be fine, but-”
“But what?” asked Rico gnashed his forehead.
“But you have to promise me, if you get out of here, promise not to bother your wife Verrel again.”
Rico was speechless not answering, he inhaled a deep breath. Although heavy but he had no other choice. As much as possible I will try to forget it, it is heavy but I do not want to be in prison, he muttered in his heart.
“I'll try,” that's just the answer Rico gave. Iva smiled faintly she knew her request would be very heavy for Rico to do.
“Papa is willing to help to pay bail if Mr. Verrel's lawyer does not apply for a security deposit that is too large.”
“Talk to my mama, maybe mama can help.” Rico said. After the visiting time runs out, Iva looks more excited. He is convinced, slowly Rico will forget about Deandra and begin to learn to accept himself. “I won't give up on getting your heart Brother Rico. Just look, I will bring you to your knees and love me,” said Iva when she was in the car that brought her home to her parents.

“Who sent the package earlier?”
“Delivery, mistress. A kind of ojol gitu.” he replied.
“I warn ya, bibik never accept any package if there is no sender name.”
“Alright, mistress. Butwhy? What is the contents of the package?”

“ARRGG…..FUCKIN' SHIT! FUCKIN' SHIT! DARE YOU PLAY ME!” he slammed all the stuff in his room. Andini looks like a lost mind. Just a week ago he lost ten billion, now the man who blackmailed him asked for another ten billion. The woman took her phone and called Rian.

“The package came again, but this time there is a letter asking me to provide money of ten billion.” stuffing with a sad tone. Return to acting to attract the attention of Rian.
“What? When did you get that package?” rian asked in surprise but in fact the man was holding back a satisfied laugh hearing Andini's panic.
“Barusan, my housemaid who received. How is this Rian? I don't have the money, you remember just a week ago I gave ten billion. I got that money from selling the house.”
“You sell home?”
“Iya. I have a house and land I bought without my husband's knowledge.”
“Have you sold both?”
“Already. There are still two billion left, but where do I get eight billion more? Did I just shut it down? I don't want my husband to know.”

“Good. I'm following your advice. Thanks Rian, it's there for me.”
“Not to thank. You know I will always help you.” said Rian smiling satisfied and triumphantly.
