Waiting without any certainty, it was something unpleasant . Especially when it comes to someone we care about.
2 Days had Jack waiting by Riani's side. He continued to pray that his wife would be given the strength to be conscious. With the realization of Riani, of course, will make Jack relieved because it means he has passed his critical period.
Arma, since yesterday called Jack's phone. He asked about his mother. Jack had to lie. He said he was on external duty and that Riani's phone was being repaired because of a fall.
Jack is convinced, there is an inner contact between Arma and Riani. Arma must have been feeling restless and wanted to talk to her mother.
"Boss, Daniel's wife is out. Daniel himself was in his room." reported one of his men. Jack immediately stood up, then kissed Riani's forehead for a while, then he came out of his wife's treatment room.
With quick steps, he arrived at the room where Daniel was being treated.
Daniel, who was sitting on the sofa, was shocked when the door opened and Jack walked in with a hostile face. Before Daniel could say anything, Jack immediately threw his fist at the man's face.
"Suckers! What are you doing with my wife so you can crash?" jack shouted with his eyes lit up.
Daniel felt the corner of his lips that were bleeding. Then he smiled. "Didn't you know we were leaving? He is tired of you for living in simplicity. I promise a better life. And we agreed that we would go together and take care of Arma together. My son will have complete parents."
"Silence.....!" another fist was lodged in Daniel's face. "Riani's not that kind of woman."
"Why did he get in the car with me? Isn't that proof that he still loves me? I was his first love, I was the first man to touch his body, so I'll never be lost in his memory."
"You.....!"
"Boss, enough!" Charles who turns out to be following Jack immediately restrains Jack's hand which will hit Daniel again.
"Take me off, Charles!"
"The lady is conscious. The doctor is looking for you!"
Jack hurried out of Daniel's room.
"Please check the CCTV footage that is around my house. I felt that Daniel was deliberately lying by saying that he and Riani would run away." Jack ordered.
"Good, boss."
Jack reached Riani's room and immediately breathed a sigh of relief to see his wife had opened her eyes. The temporary doctor examined Riani.
"Thank God. Mrs Riani has already passed her critical period. If Mr. Jack wants to move him to a city hospital, we'll have to wait until another week to see how things go."
Jack nodded. He thanked the doctor and approached his wife.
"Honey....!" Jack held Riani's right hand. The woman smiled faintly while enduring the pain all over her body. The shadow of the accident that had engulfed them slowly surfaced in his mind.
"It's ok baby. Everything's been fine. Don't you worry, will you?" Jack rubbed Riani's cheek when he saw Riani's calm face.
"Mother.....Arma?" riani's voice sounded hoarse.
"You just calm down. I didn't say anything to them. I told you that you're on duty out of town and your phone is being fixed."
Riani nodded slowly. "Daniel, he forced me to get in the car."
Jack's hands clenched. He tried to hold back his emotions when he heard his wife's words. "I know! You can't possibly leave me. Now you just rest, okay? Don't think too much. After all this, I will tell you the truth. I'm sorry I wasn't being honest about who I really was." Jack lowered his head, then kissed Riani's forehead very gently.
"Sleep!" jack said as he rubbed the back of Riani's hand. Slowly the woman closed her eyes. He really feels sleepy. Shortly after, Riani fell asleep again.

"This is also a CCTV recording of one of the houses in the village. It is clear how Mr. Daniel dragged Mrs Riani into the car. I also got the video footage that was in Mr. Daniel's car. The accident happened because Mrs Riani deliberately pulled the driver because she didn't want to go with Mr. Daniel."
Jack's jaw is getting hard. "Have the police seen this footage?"
"Not boss."
"good. I don't want to deal with the police. I will solve this problem my way. Please find out who sent the video of my wife's showdown with the Goddess."
"Good, boss."
Jack gave Charles' cell phone back to him. He then returned to his wife's treatment room. There was a sense of regret in his heart when he realized that he had doubted Riani's loyalty. Get well soon my wife. The goddess will get a reply for what she told you. The goddess will regret having insulted Jack Almond's wife.

Sam is an assistant and Jack's right hand man meets his boss in the hospital. Jack had not been to work for a week and certainly a lot of work was piled up.
"Jack, how's your wife doing?"
"Enhanced improving. He can even sit now. So what should I sign?"
"There are some important documents. You read it first, learn it well tomorrow I'll be back to pick him up. Oh yeah, Cecilia met me last night. He wants to see you."
"You didn't say I was in the hospital, did you?"
"No." Sam shakes. "Just, he said something that surprised me a lot."
"What's that?"
"He's pregnant."
"Pregnant?"
"Yes. You know you haven't been with her in a long time, right? Especially after we got home from Bali and you decided to marry Riani. You didn't touch her at all, did you?"
Jack rubbed his face rough. "A month ago, when I had a fight with Riani, I was at the bar drinking. I was very drunk at the time. And by midnight, when I woke up, I was already in Cecilia's apartment. Cecilia was in the shower and I just walked out of her room."
"You slept with him?" ask Sam to worry.
"I don't know, Sam. I woke up wearing only my underwear. I don't remember if we had sex or not."
"Fuck you, Jack!" Sam punched his friend's shoulder. "What if you did sleep with her and Cecilia is actually pregnant with your child? I believe that Riani will definitely leave you."
"Don't talk like that, Sam."
"Why did you fall back into Cecilia's hands? Didn't you say that he was just a story of your past when you met Riani? Or did you marry Riani just because Cassie liked her?"
"It's not like that, Sam. You know why I'm like this."
Sam shook his head."Your decision to hide your true identity will cost you Riani "said Sam made Jack dumbstruck.
