Noey went to the kitchen after he looked through the photos of Mariana on display in the family room. She looked at Mariana who was cooking agilely and deftly like she was used to it. But some of his long hair that he tied a ponytail got into his mouth. Mariana tried to remove the hair from her face with dirty hands, but it was very difficult. Noey saw him and walked over to him. She helped Mariana pull that hair.
For a moment Mariana was shocked because Noey was suddenly behind her.
“Thank you” said Mariana while looking at Noey and smiling at him.
“Can I help you?” noey asked after she nodded her head in response to Mariana.
Mariana looked back and forth to find what Noey could help. His gaze ended on a basket of fruits that had not been cleaned.
“Eum .. can you help me wash those fruits?” mariana asked while pointing at the fruit on the table.
“Sure” Noey also grabbed the fruit and began washing it one by one until clean. Noey still continued to be in the kitchen even though he had finished with the fruits that he had to wash. He leaned against the table near Mariana.
“Are you used to cooking by yourself?” noey asked who looked astonished because even though Mariana was a famous artist, she was deft when it came to cooking.
“Yes, I'm used to cooking by myself. I can't just eat because I don't know how they cook, whether it's clean or not. So I better cook myself” Mariana explained with a gentle smile
"Oh, you deserve to look very shrewd in using all the cooking supplies” Mariana just smiled sweetly hearing Noey's praise to her.
Before long, Mariana was finished with some dishes that she cooked.
“Have your hands first, because you have helped me” Mariana also asked Noey to wash his hands politely while he tidied the dining table. Noey simply nodded and stepped towards the sink in the kitchen. After that they started to enjoy the dishes made by Mariana. There are shrimp, meat and vegetables. Mariana also prepared fruit salad for her dessert
“You are good at cooking. You can cook all this yourself” Noey said after seeing some dishes available on the table.
“This is just regular home cooking. Eat up and tell me if it suits your taste or not?” Noey nodded and began to taste every dish available on the dining table.
“How? Does it taste good?” Mariana looked at Noey with a hopeful look and she looked nervous
“Enak. I guess only the look is good, it also feels like it fits the look" Noey praised Mariana with a cool attitude and an expressionless face.
“Pyuuh .. thank goodness if it tastes good. I'm really scared if this doesn't suit your taste” Mariana heaved a sigh of relief after Noey said that the cooking is delicious.
Noey continued to pay attention to Mariana's smiling face in relief after getting compliments for her meal.
“How can a plain girl like her get physical and mental abuse from a guy she says loves her?” noey thought as he continued to stare at Mariana
“What's up? Is there something on my face?” mariana asked with an astonished look as Noey continued to arrange it. He touched every part of his own face that was involuntarily about the bruises on his cheeks. Mariana grimaced a little in pain.
“Is it really painful?” Noey's expression looked extremely cold and worried as he asked. He also looks upset and I don't know what else he feels. She had experienced violence when she was young, she knew very well what it was like to have no place to lean.
“Hah? Oh, these? It's nothing. No need to worry” Mariana responded to Noey's question while smiling and hiding her pain. But he did not realize that his smile looked bright in Noey's eyes
“Do you have no family or brothers? Why are you living alone?” Noey stopped eating her and asked Mariana in a cold manner.
“I have 1 little brother, but I put him in a school that has a dormitory. I don't want him to get too tired of chasing lessons and having to come home every day. Besides, I can't take good care of him either. Our parents have long since died and we have no siblings” Mariana responded with a faint smile while playing the food in front of her. He lowered his head with a sad expression as he told her about his family.
“I'm sorry. I should not ask you much questions”
“No papa. It's not a big deal. They died long ago anyway. I'm also my sister is used to living together” Mariana moved her hands and shook her head in unison responding to Noey's apology. They continued their lunch quietly.

Meanwhile Risha arrives at the office after she stops by the clothing store to buy a change of clothes. The wound on his shoulder is only a scratch wound so it is not bandaged with a large or using a hand brace. So Diaz couldn't possibly know that Risha was hurt.
“Zie, are you going to get into my office first?” risha asked Kenzie who had driven her.
“No need. I will go straight back to my office just”, Kenzie responded to Risha with a smile on her lips
“Are you sure? Don't want to see papi first?” Risha squinted with a smile as she teased Kenzie
“No need. When it's announced, I'll meet Diaz”
"alright. Be careful on the road" Kenzie immediately rejects Risha's offer and starts to restart his car engine Risha also stepped foot into his office building, but he remembered something before he entered his work space.
“Wait. Has Sean been taken to the police station? What kind of punishment will he get?” thought Risha whose footsteps stopped before entering her room. He turned and left the office. He called Kenzie to ask for Noey's phone number.
Tut tuut tuut
“Halo, Sha. What's up?” ask Kenzie who received the phone while driving
“Zie, can you ask for Noey's phone number? I want to ask the police station where he took Sean” Risha said in a hurry.
“Ya, will I send you now”
“Thanks” Risha Langsug hung up with Zie.
Zie sent Noey's number
Risha contacted her as soon as she got her phone number
Tut tuut tuut
“Halo” Sounded Noey voice from the other end of the phone
“Noey, you took Sean to which police station?” asked Risha in a calm manner
“The police office is not far from the home Mariana” Noey responded with a calm attitude
“Oh, thank you” Risha directly hung up with Noey and rushed to the police station in question Noey using a taxi
“Taxi!”
Risha stops the passing taxi and rushes to the police station
After traveling for a long time, Risha finally arrived at the police station that Noey meant
“Excuse me. I want to see Sean, the young man who was just brought here with gunshot wounds to his hands and feet” Risha explained to the police on guard
“Sure. The suspect is still in the treatment room for the handling of the gunshot wounds he received. Please here” Police responded to Risha with a friendly smile
“Thanks” Risha also stepped foot following the police who walked in front of him
“This is the room. You have 30 minutes to visit suspect” the police explained the rules to Risha
“Good. Thank you” Risha also stepped into the room alone without being accompanied by police
“U-for what did you come here?” Sean was surprised to see Risha. He asked with a pale face and a body trembling in fear.
“I'd like to see you wear a prisoner's shirt. Do you still look handsome or not” said Risha with a sweet smile
"Go you! Basic jal*ng insolent!" sean shouted at Risha who was getting closer
"No need to drive me out I'll go. But after making sure that you also get the right punishment" Risha spoke with a sweet smile and a soft tone
"Are you crazy?! Have you shot my hands and feet?! You're still not satisfied, huh?!" shouts Sean who is frightened
"Yet. I haven't seen you battered" Risha responded in a calm manner
"What's your problem? I don't have any problems with you. Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Ehm. You also hurt my shoulder. And you also disgust me with your attitude of daring to do violence to women" At first Risha looks calm, but after that the look in her eyes turns sharp as she looks at Sean
"That ...he's my girlfriend, what does that have to do with you?!"
"He's my artist. You've defamed his good name and you've hurt my company for delaying the release of our film!" Risha responded with a cold attitude
"You …"
"You just wait for my gift" Risha turned around and walked away from Sean
"Excuse me Sir. Where will Sean be placed after he recovers from his treatment?" risha asked the police officer
"Disel over there" he points to the cell where Sean will be placed
"Can I see the condition of the cell?" ask Risha again with a plain face
"certain, Miss. Please" said the police on duty
"Thank you" Risha walked alone to the cell. There are some prisoners stationed there
"Excuse me. Do you guys need money?" ask Risha to the people in the cell
"There can be no one who doesn't need money. What do we do?" one of the prisoners responded to Risha with a grinning smile
"Later there will be a new prisoner with gunshot wounds to his hands and feet. He always hurt me and hurt my sister physically and mentally. Because I'm afraid of her, so I want you to help me repay her so that when she gets out of jail .. she no longer dares to hurt us" Risha acted sad and scared as she spoke
"You just calm down. We will make him no longer dare to hurt any woman" said the man who looked angry and upset
"Thank you. This is in return for you" Risha gave the money she put in the brown envelope to the man. They opened it up to be shared fairly
"You don't have to be afraid anymore. Now you and your sister can calm down. We're here for theft. But we don't like men who are rude to women"
"Thank you again" Risha oun turned away with a smirk on her lips
"Sean, I won't let you die just like that, but I won't let you live that easily either. How dare it make me lose"
