"Dear, why? Dizziness again?" zio asked worriedly to see his wife grimacing while holding her head.
Sarah shook. "Sarah was having a hard time sleeping last night, and Sarah's head was a little dizzy,"
Zio frowned in astonishment.
Sarah cupped her husband's cheeks. "Do not worry, Sarah is fine, Sarah just needs rest. After Sarah's wife must be better again. Now Sarah's gonna rest in the room first,"
Zio was still glued to the spot, staring at the back of his wife who had walked up the stairs while holding the handle of the stairs.

The bond of a mother to a child is so strong, after this morning came to Sarah, Santi so the thought continues with her daughter, she feels there is something Sarah is hiding from her. Moreover, Santi remembered Sarah's words before marrying Zio, if he was not sure Zio could love her.
Raka who had since noticed his wife who was engrossed in pensive self in the living room walked up to him. "Mom why else?" he asked, then sat down next to Santi.
It's true, from last night Santi's feelings were not calm, after Raka told him about someone who gave him a photo of Zio along with Carla.
Raka went to take him to Sarah this morning, because his wife's feelings from last night never calmed down.
"Mama thought of our daughter, Pa," said Santi Lirih.
Raka rubbed his wife's shoulder. "Didn't you meet? Mama also saw for herself, right, Sarah's relationship with Zio is fine. Papa see Zio is also good at serving Sarah,"
"But Pa, Mama saw something different from Sarah. Does Papa not realize his body is now a bit thin? If she's happy, there's no way her body's thin like that,"
Raka was silent trying to compare the shape of Sarah's body before with the current one.
"I guess what the person who gave Zio's picture with a woman told Papa was right. How about we try asking that guy, Pa? It seems like that person knows a lot about our Princess household. Yesterday Papa also said. The man also told Papa how Zio had treated Sarah all this time,"
Raka was still silent, recalling the words that Andri had said to her yesterday so that she would not turn a blind eye to Zio's treatment of her daughter.
"Do you know where this guy lives?"
Raka shook her head, then took a deep breath. "Papa did not know, Ma, because at that time Papa did not respond well to what he said. Papa thinks he just wants to pit Papa with our daughter-in-law. Papa doesn't really care what he says,"
"Come on, this Papa!" Santi squeezed her husband's shoulder. "How to now? No way, we just let our daughter there suffer. Mama has to tell Salsa all this,"
"Don't you, Ma. We'd better find out the truth first, fearing we'll be the third person to destroy their marriage relationship,"
"But until when, Pa! Until when are we going to let our Princess suffer there! You know, Sarah's too good at secrecy! Do you remember, long ago? When she was a bully at school, Sarah never told us anything! If only his best friend hadn't told us, maybe until now we would never have known!" santi said.
Raka just kept quiet, because what his wife said was the truth that he could not deny.

Waking up, Sarah felt the pain in her head slightly reduced. Especially when he just opened his eyes, he saw Zio lying next to him, gently rubbing his hair.
"Eh, honey, brother made you wake up huh?"
Sarah shook her head while commenting on the smile, then reached out one hand stroking her husband's cheek. "Not really,"
"How now? Is his head still hurting?"
"It's healed,"
"Yes, as long as you're next to Sarah, Sarah will be healed,"
Zio reviewed a thin smile, then pinched the squeeze of his nose. "You can be a gombalin brother yes,"
"That's not a big brother, but reality! Try not to sleep next to Sarah, Sarah's head still hurts!"
"If it's healed, it means you can do it again?" Zio raised both eyebrows.
"Don't, you pervert!" Sarah scooped Zio's face.
Zio immediately hugged his wife's frail body. "But Brother wants to, dear," he whispered, then bit Sarah's earlobe.
"Yes, yes, but it's tonight, yes,"
"Well now, when you're hungry now eat it later tonight," Zio whined like a child asking for something.
"Abang, but Sarah's hungry now, just after lunch, yeah,"
"Well, what do you want to eat now? Let's order some food outside, "Then Zio pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Sarah held her husband's hand. "Sarah wants to eat your brother's cooking again" he said spoiledly.
Zio squinted his eyes. "But darling, your cooking isn't as good as yours, though,"
"Nothing, we cook together, and Sarah wants to teach you how to cook. If Sarah's not around, you can cook for yourself, you don't have to eat out,"
Zio's facial expression changed instantly. "No, you mean?"
"Eh no is, Sarah means later if Sarah is sick, can brother masakin Sarah again. Already let's go down," Sarah immediately got up from the bed, walked out of the room.
While Zio was still glued to the spot, thought to the words his wife had spoken just now.
Just as Zio was moving down from the bed, his phone suddenly shook. On the screen is Carla's name.
Zio breathed a rough breath, before answering the phone from his adoptive brother.
"Grandfather, you're busy! Please understand!"
At the end of there Carla immediately heard the clasping of Zio.
"What did Adek say? Tell me quickly, you don't have time!"
"Abang really does not care anymore the same Adek," said Carla at the end there.
Zio scooped his face, then exhaled a huge breath. "Okay, brother's sorry, but, brother's asking for help, Adek don't be like this anymore. Adek is an adult, not a child anymore that you have to keep 24 hours,"
Since then, Zio spoke withholding his voice so as not to be heard by Sarah who was already at the bottom.
"Adek just want to move to Bandung with Mother," said Carla at the end there.
Zio took a deep breath. Actually, he didn't want Carla to leave. However, he also thought about his wife's feelings. He did not want Carla to make his relationship with his wife tenuous. "Yes, okay, brother allow it," Zio said later.
"But Adek wanted to have one last dinner with Brother. We can have dinner tonight, after that Adek will not bother you again,"
"But-"
"Please! Adek please just this once," cut Carla.
A few moments Zio was silent. "Yes, well, you're coming tonight" he said later.
