After hearing the conversation, Dinda finally gave up her intention to meet with Nadine. Though Dinda only wanted to see Nadine because there was something, but because of hearing the conversation of her two children, Dinda finally chose to leave immediately. Slowly Dinda stepped her legs so as not to be heard by Keenan and Nadine, then she went down the stairs with her face looked down to withstand the sadness. But suddenly she hit her husband who was looking for her.
"Mama, what's wrong, Ma? Why is Mama's face sad like that?" Nathan asked who looked very worried.
"Nothing Pi, where's Papi going?" Ask Dinda anyway.
"But looking for Mama, Mama was not in the room so Papi planned to find Mama up and instead meet here. Mama why? It's impossible if there's nothing but Mama's face is moody like that? Papi knew that Mama was sad" Nathan said.
"But, we'll talk in the room, yes" said Dinda.
Nathan nodded, then he embraced his wife's body leading her to their room.
"What exactly is Ma, what makes Mama sad?" Nathan asked when they were in the room.
"So when Mama went upstairs to find Nadine, she accidentally heard the children talking on the balcony" said Dinda Lirih.
"What are they talking about? So it's the children's talk that makes Mama sad?" Ask Nathan again.
"Yes Pi, it was their talk that made Mama sad. Mama listen …."
Dinda told her what she had just heard to her husband.
"So Clara is already in Indonesia? He's back here and just now when we were at the restaurant, Keenan met the woman?" Nathan asked who looked very surprised and did not believe him.
Nathan recalled at the time, Clara once told Nathan that she would go abroad and would never return to Indonesia. He would also never again care about Keenan and give Keenan completely to his father.
"Yes Pi, Mama heard it for herself. Even Nadine was visibly shocked when Keenan told her about it. And then Mama also saw how sad Keenan was because he was not recognized by his own mother, even his mother was arrogant, angry with him, when what he did was unintentional. Mama also heard how Keenan was crying in Nadine's arms. Mama is so scared of Pi," said Dinda who looks anxious.
"Fearful? Scared why Ma?" Ask Nathan.
"Papi knows that if Mama has taken care of Keenan from childhood, Mama has taken care of Keenan with all of Mama's soul and body. Mama already considers Keenan as Mama's own biological child. Mama loves Keenan, Mama loves Keenan as much as Mama loves Nadine. Mama's scared because Clara's back. What if he wants to take Keenan from us, take Keenan from Mama. Mama didn't want Pi to lose Keenan" Dinda said in her grief.
Nathan understood Dinda's fear, and he grabbed his wife's body into his arms.
"Honey, no one will be able to take Keenan away from us. Keenan is our son, you remember that. Moreover, Clara had not returned for a long time even she never gave any news or asked any news about Keenan. Do you think that such an attitude is the attitude of a mother, whether it is the attitude of parents who love their children. No right? Besides, if Clara wants Keenan now, do you think Mama Keenan would want it, would Kenan? Papi sure doesn't Ma. Keenan won't want to go back with his mother. Even as Mama said earlier to Papi that Keenan would not admit if he was Keenan Clara's son. From there it is clear if Keenan is very disappointed with the attitude of his own biological mother. Never mind Ma, do not think no-no, Papi also believes that Keenan is so loving Mama and already considers Mama like her own birth mother," nathan convinced his wife not to think about anything.
"But what if Clara suddenly came to see Keenan and wanted Keenan back to her, and Keenan wanted to? What should Mama do?" Ask Dinda who is still shrouded in fear.
"That's not going to be possible, honey, you don't think that much anymore. Now we just rest, it's night. I think you need a break to calm your mind. The children must have rested, Keenan must have calmed down because of Nadine. Surely Keenan will also forget his sadness," said Nathan.

While choosing some fruits in the supermarket and want to pick apples, Dinda accidentally holds the hand of a woman who at that time also took the same fruit with her.
"I'm sorry I didn't accidentally Ma'am, just take it" said Dinda.
Then Dinda and the woman looked at each other, Dinda was very surprised because it turned out that the woman was the woman who had approached him and asked him to stay away from Nathan, so he left the city of Jakarta. Likewise with the woman who looks shocked staring sharply at Dinda.
"You? It was unexpected that we could meet again here" said Clara.
"Yes, and this is a meeting I really don't want. I don't want to see you anymore Clara" said Dinda, then she just left.
But Clara quickly chased and pulled Dinda's hand.
"Wait!" Clara.
Dinda stopped her footsteps and glanced towards the back with a cynical look. "Let go of my hand" he said.
"OK I'll let go, but I want us to talk" Clara said.
"I don't have time to talk to you" said Dinda.
"You don't have to feel like Dinda's big ass, I just want to talk for a while" Clara said.
Dinda finally agreed to Clara's request, now they sit in the cafe next to the supermarket they had visited.
"What do you really want to talk about? I don't have long to serve you" said Dinda.
"Heh, it turns out that after marrying Nathan you become a haughty woman huh," said Clara.
"So, that's what you said. Don't talk about me because you don't know anything. Now quickly tell me what you want to talk about, because I still have more business than having to serve you Clara," said Dinda. Somehow he still felt very upset about the woman considering the time he had threatened her, so he was forced to leave the man he loved by carrying the seeds that had been planted by the man.
"Where's Keenan? I know you've been with him all this time, right? Tell me where my son is, I want to meet him and I want to ask him to come back with me. I'm back in Indonesia now, and do you know I'm only going back to Indonesia for Keenan" Clara said.
Deg …
Suddenly Dinda's heart was racing, her blood flow was flowing more, it turned out that her fear had been true that Clara would come again to take Keenan from her. It made Dinda so very scared and surprised to look at Clara with an indecipherable look.
