"Master, I've found the person who spread the word about Miss Alza."

Ammar faces Argan after getting information from his men.

Argan who was checking the files on the table immediately looked up at Ammar.

"Oh yeah? Who did it?"

Ammar handed a map to the table. Argan opened it immediately.

"Arzetta Pratama? So he's the one who's spreading rumors about Alza?"

Ammar nodded. "Yes, Sir."

Argan rubbed his chin. "It's weird. Why would he do this to Alza? Is it because of Arion? Does he still like Arion?"

"Then, what action should I take next, sir? Are we going to execute him?"

Argan shakes. "Don't do anything! I'll talk to Alza first. Now you go back to work!"

"Good, Sir. Excuse me!"

...***...

In the afternoon, Argan flies to town A to pick up Alza. Alza had been in town for two days. According to Argan, it is time for Alza to face the next wheel of life.

Arriving at the orphanage, Argan sees Alza playing with the children of the orphanage. Alza was laughing and happy.

"𝘈𝘬𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘶 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘸𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘶, 𝘈𝘭𝘻𝘢. 𝘈𝘬𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘫𝘢𝘯𝘫𝘪 𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘭𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘶 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘶𝘮 𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪 𝘪𝘵𝘶."

Argan approaches Alza and greets her.

"Hi, honey..."

"Bang Argan?" Alza exclaimed happily. "When will it come?"

"just now. It's almost night, we better get in. Get the kids in too."

Alza nodded. "Let's get our kids into the house!"

Alza took the hands of the children who had played with him and walked into the building of the home.

"You go into each other's rooms! It's dinner soon."

"Okay, Brother Alza!" The children answered in unison.

Then Alza turned to Argan.

"Which why? Why look at me like that?"

Argan shakes. "I'm glad you're happy to live here. I'm glad to see your smile."

"We'll talk in the room!" Alza held Argan's hand and invited him into the room.

Arriving at the room, they sat side by side on the edge of the bed. Understandably, Alza's room in the orphanage is not as big as his room after becoming a daughter of the Pratama family. Or even being Arion's wife.

"Alza, there's something I want to talk to you about." Argan's face looked serious.

"What's the matter, Bang?"

"It's about the news about you. The culprit has met."

"Eh?" Alza was quite surprised. "Who's the guy, Bang?"

"You'll see the file yourself." Argan handed Alza a map.

Despite his doubts, Alza slowly opened the map. His hand shut its mouth after reading the name on the paper.

"Zettaa? So who did all this is Zetta?" Alza shook her head slowly. I don't know why Zetta did this to him.

"really. Now, I leave it all to you. You want me to judge him in a rude way or..."

"Don't, Bang. Better leave it to the authorities. Let them process it."

"You sure?"

Alza nodded. "Yes, Bang. Let him account for what he did in prison."

"Well, if that's what you want. So, are you ready to go back now?"

Alza looked at Argan. There's no point in Alza being here. His career and life are in town B.

"okay! Tonight we're back in town B."

Arnis and Sultan sat together and looked at the canned letter Arnis received this afternoon. The Sultan seemed to be hesitating to say something. Sultan did not want to make Arnis disappointed or sad.

"Say something, Mas.." Pinta Arnis.

The Sultan looked at his wife and clasped Arnis's hand.

"Darling, this... It's just a canned letter. Are you seriously responding to this letter?"

Arnis nodded steadily. "I know this sounds ridiculous. But what's wrong if we prove it!"

"What if you're disappointed?"

"It's okay. At least I've been trying to figure out the truth."

Sultan took a breath. It would not be easy to persuade Arnis not to be affected by the canned letter.

"Did you remember? I know our son is fine, Mom. In the womb he was healthy during the examination. Why did he suddenly die? We're not even allowed to see the bodies of our children."

The sultan said Arnis in his heart. He couldn't have thought that his father was the mastermind of all this.

"𝘈𝘱𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘢 𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘶𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘪? 𝘛𝘢𝘱𝘪 𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘭. 𝘉𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘢𝘱𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘤𝘶𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘪?"

"Mas!" Arnis jerks the Sultan's daydream. "Don't shut up! We need to see the sender of this letter!"

"How is it?"

Arnis showed me a small note that was inside the envelope. "The sender wrote an address. We have to go, Mas!"

The Sultan was still unsure of the wife's decision. But what can be done. The Sultan had better obey Arnis' wishes. If it is proven that the person only pranks them, maybe after that Arnis no longer talks about their dead child.

...***...

Thanks to Argan's help, Alza was able to subdue the perpetrator who had defamed him. Now some police officers are heading to the Tama Group building and will meet Zetta.

Actually Alza can't do this to Zetta, but then again, what to do. Zetta himself has made Alza forced to take legal action.

"Miss Arzetta Pratama!" A plainclothes policeman walks into Zetta's room.

"Yes, I'm alone. You're who? And what's the need to come here?" Zetta replied with a stroke.

"We're from the city B police. You should come with us to the office. Someone reported that you've done defamation to Sister Alzarin."

"Heh?! Wh-what?! You must have mistaken it! I didn't spread anything about Alza." Zetta.

"Miss should come with us now. We'll prove whether Miss is guilty or not."

Zetta seems to be thinking hard. His mind was already very upset because of Alzarin.

"𝘚𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯! 𝘐𝘯𝘪 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪 𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘫𝘢𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘪 𝘈𝘭𝘻𝘢! 𝘋𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯! 𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘴𝘦𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘬𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪. 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘬𝘵𝘪 𝘢𝘱𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘪 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘬𝘶 𝘬𝘦 𝘫𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘬𝘶𝘮?"

Having no other choice, Zetta complies and goes with the police who pick her up.

"Zettaa! Wait, Sir! Where'd my sister go?" Dennis suddenly came and stopped the police and Zetta.

"Did you?"

"Zetta, you're okay, right?"

Zetta nods. Dennis looked at the two cops who were carrying Zetta.

"Sir, what's going on?" Dennis asked again.

"Sorry, sister Arzetta, we have to take her to the office for the defamation report against Miss Alzarin."

"W-what...?" Dennis was in shock. Dennis doesn't even realize that Zetta's figure has disappeared with the two cops who took him.

...***...

Zetta insists on not being guilty of all the charges leveled against her.

"Sir, I am innocent! What I said is true! Alzarin was married twice. She also gave birth to a baby, but unfortunately the baby died. And during my marriage to my sister, Alza was having an affair with my own fiancee until she got pregnant!"

"ZETTA!" The thunderous noise from the door made the two people in the room look at him.
