At night Sofia arrived at the hospital.
"How's Ray doing?" askanya on mbok Asih.
"Alhamdulillah, Mr. Ray has passed his critical period. Mistress where have you been? Why is the clock coming? Hasn't Zola been calling Madam since this afternoon?"
"My business is a lot and you don't deserve to know!" ketus Sofia's. He entered Rayyan's treatment room.
"How did you get into an accident? How do you drive a car?" his pedicab.
"Come, Ma. I remember I just got out of the toy store. Suddenly I felt something hit my car from the back. I don't remember anything after that" Rayyan said.
"What did the doctor say? Did you have any serious injuries?" ask Sofia.
"No, Ma. I was unconscious for a few hours in shock."
"Damn! Already in an accident like this, why did he still escape death?" inner Sofia.
"Where have you been all day?" ask Rayyan.
"Regulate. There was one client who asked to meet outside the city."
"So I also met a client, but it turns out he was trying to trick me."
"Do you know him?"
Ray shook his head.
"He's my new client. His name is Sean."
"Oh .. Sean."
"Mom why panic like that? Did you know her?" ask Ray full of questions
"Ti-ti-no. I've never known a man named Sean" Sofia argued.
Ray nodded in understanding.
"Ehm .. Ray."
"What's up, Mom?"
"Mom needs money to increase business capital."
"How much do you need?"
"Ehm .. about three hundred million."
"Areally which Mom's business requires capital injections? Boutique, shop,
salon, or clothing store?"
"Ehm .. Look, Ray. Actually, I intend to open a new branch clothing store."
"If you may know where the address of the branch store is?"
"On the road ehm .. Orchid Street."
"It seems that the location is less strategic to open a business. You better find somewhere else."
"Well then, I'll survey somewhere else. So, how? You can't give a capital injection for mom's business?"
"Yes. I'll take care of it later after the doctor lets me leave the hospital."
"When should you be treated?"
"Maybe two more days."
"Oh yeah. Tonight let Seto accompany you at the hospital. You know, you can't sleep anywhere. It is also impossible for me to ask mbok Asih or Zola to accompany you here."
"It doesn't matter that I'm alone here. There are doctors and nurses on guard. Let Mr. Seto rest, he must be tired of driving Mom all day."
"Alright if that's what you want. I'm saying good night now."
In front of Rayyan, Sofia was always sweet, but Rayyan never knew if her adoptive mother had bad intentions to get rid of her while controlling all her property.

Suci had just put Arsen to sleep in his room when suddenly his phone rang. It was an unknown number that called him. Suci also chose to reject the call and put back his phone. A few minutes later, his phone rang again. Rather than wake Arsen up, he answered the phone.
[Hello, Assalamu'alaikum]
[Waalaikum. You are busy, right? Why did you answer the phone for so long?]
[Sorry, who am I talking to?]
[Actually who are you?]
[You remember the post office parking attendant you met yesterday?]
The saint thought for a moment.
[Yes, he's an old friend of mine, his name is Hanafi]
[I'm Hanafi]
[Oh, you turned out. Sorry, I don't recognize your voice]
[It's okay]
[Ehm .. Sacred].
[Yes]
[When can you get out of the house again?]
[Why indeed?]
[It's okay. I just want to chat with you while eating meatballs]
[Ehm .. sorry. I haven't worked in this house in a month. So I've never been off]
[There's still that old symbol in the house, right?]
[Name as mbok Asih. He's the cook in this house]
[You'll be able to leave the young master you foster on Sumi's mom. Not for long, an hour or two]
[Where can it be. In this house, we have our own duties. Plus the big lady is quite fierce. I don't want to make trouble with him]
[Come, once. We haven't met for years. Spending a little time cannot be]
[Sorry, I can't]
[So arrogant of you]
[It's not so, Han. I just, .. ]
Suddenly the call was cut off.
"Mbok thinks you're asleep" said mbok Asih who is now standing in the middle of the room door.
"No, Mbok. Someone just called."
"Who? Your father?"
"No, Mbok. Hanafi called me."
"Which hanafi?"
"Post office parking attendant
the one who spoke to me yesterday."
"Oh, yes. Mbok remembered. Why is he calling these nights?"
"He-he forced me to meet outside, but I refused on the grounds that I could not leave young master Arsen."
"Honestly, from the way he spoke, he was less fond of the man. He's not a good man."
"Why can Mbok talk like that?"
"Mbok can see from the look in his eyes, he has a bad intention. It is true that you refused to be invited to meet both," said mbok Asih.
"I believe in Mbok. I would never want to if he asked me to meet both."
"It's nothing, Nduk. Mbok talks like this because mbok love you. Moreover, this is a city, his life is much different from life in the village. Mbok does not want you to get the wrong association."
"I'm grateful to be reunited with people as good as Mbok. I feel like my mother's house is back" said Suci. Suddenly his eyes glazed over.
