Kartika glanced at her son who was in tears. Without realizing it, Kartika's eyes began to glaze. He rubbed his face violently, then threw his gaze in the other direction.

Doctor Joe feels bad to be among them. Not do not not know, the neighbor had indeed heard the news about the incident that befell the Bu Kartika family.

"I'll excuse you, ma'am." Doctor Joe said goodbye.

Kartika immediately wiped her tears, then drove Doctor Joe to the door. "Thank you, Doc." Kartika said while commenting on her smile.

"Together, Mom." Doctor Joe came out of the house.

After delivering the doctor, Kartika again walked to the room where her son was lying down. He saw Sifa crying, making his heart so painful.

"Mom, let me keep it, ma'am."

Kartika threw away his face, but he still enveloped his son's body to the chest. When the woman was about to leave, Sifa immediately rose from her bed, then hugged Kartika from behind.

"I know, you wouldn't do that. I know that mother will accept it one day after she grows up to be a good child" Sifa said with a hiccup.

"A good boy? He came from a bad seed. His father was an addict and is still in prison. Twelve years you will wait for Aldo to come out of custody. Not necessarily he will be good after getting out of there," said Kartika while grunting.

"I'm sure, Mom. I'm sure he'll be a good guy after this. I can bear it all, let's just say this is karma for me because I have been disobedient to my previous husband. Aldo was rude also because it was my fault to compare him to Mas Fahri," Sifa said at length.

Kartika chose to let go of Sifa's hand that was coiled around her waist. However, the more Kartika was about to let go, the tighter her daughter hugged her.

"I won't let go of my arms until mom stops forbidding me to keep this child" Sifa said.

"As you please, let me go!" ketus Kartika's.

Sifa smiled, and the woman released her embrace from her mother. Kartika turned her head for a moment, looking at Sifa who was commenting on her smile. The middle-aged woman was still staring at Sifa with a look of dislike, then immediately left the room.

Sifa returned to lie on the bed. With his eyes open, he stared at the ceiling of his room.

"When I take steps to stay together or choose to separate. God assured me by bringing a little angel among us. Hearing the doctor's remark that I was about to become a mother, made me feel like I had a pride of my own."

"For so long I have been too trivial, leaving aside the presence of the baby just because of the economic crisis that has not been adequate. However, after the news came closer, it was inevitable that I felt so happy. And God assured me that the step I took was to maintain the integrity of my household, God tested me to wait patiently for my husband who is currently serving his punishment for his actions, and my solitude here is a punishment for me for having disobeyed my husband."

Sifa said in her heart, she stroked her flat stomach. There was a little angel who was currently residing in her womb.

"We'll wait for papa to be free, son. You and your mom need to be both strong and patient, so that you can really change completely. We give papa a second chance," muttered Sifa monologue.

While from a distance, Kartika was peering through the lips of the door. He tried to close his mouth so that his sobs were not heard by his daughter.

"I'm sorry, son. All this is because the mother who told you to choose Aldo over Fahri. If only, you used to stay with Fahri, maybe you wouldn't suffer like this" Kartika said.

After a long journey, the car driven by Mr. Rahmat arrived at the hotel. Fahri and Arumi go straight down, followed by Pak Rahmat from behind, who helps Fahri carry a suitcase in his hand, and a backpack containing his clothes .

Fahri approached the receptionist on guard, asking for two key rooms that had been booked before he left here.

After getting the key, Fahri and the others went straight to the room. The man handed over one room key to Mr. Grace which the man would occupy later.

"Good, Sir."

Mr. Grace took the key given by Fahri, then he separated from his two masters.

"Dear, open the door. I was very sleepy," grumbled Arumi who had frowned since she was awakened while sleeping.

"Good, sweetie." Fahri pinched briefly the cheek puffed Arumi, he immediately unlocked the room.

The pregnant woman sauntered first, headed to the bed and immediately dropped her body on the mattress.

Meanwhile, Fahri, he pulled both luggage earlier, then put the suitcase in the corner. As he turned to look at his wife, he saw that Arumi had fallen asleep again on the bed.

Fahri smiled as he stepped foot to approach his beloved wife. He took off the shoes that were still attached to Arumi's feet. The man also slightly restyled his wife's sleeping position, then gave a pillow as Arumi's headboard so that her neck does not hurt.

"I'm sorry my wife, you have to be exhausted like this to come with me" Fahri murmured as he rubbed the top of his wife's head.

"I'm afraid, if you're far from me. I'm afraid your stepmother will show up when I'm not next to you and immediately harm you as much as she hurt your father before," Fahri said.

Fahri moved from his seat. He also chose to clean his body first before joining his wife who was asleep.

Ten minutes later, Fahri already looks fresh with a face that is fresher than before. The man was wearing a bathrobe, while drying his hair with a small towel.

Fahri stared out the glass window. The place looks so beautiful at night. Fahri's daydream was caved in instantly when he heard his phone ringing. He immediately grabbed the flat object on the nightstand, saw for a moment who called him, then rubbed the screen to pick up the call.

"What's up, Sam?" fahri asked Samuel from across the phone.

"You've arrived?" ask Samuel.

"It has. How's your wound condition, is it a little mengingan?" asked Fahri who whispered a little while throwing his gaze at the wife for a moment.

"It's a little bit quiet. Anyway, it's not too serious. So it probably won't take long to heal" Samuel said.

"Where's your wife?" continue the man.

"She was asleep, actually I didn't have the heart to bring her here to come with me, because it would take her time off. But I hesitated to leave him alone at home" Fahri said.

"Yes .. is better that way. I'm just making sure that you guys get there safely. Then I hang up" said Samuel.

"Yes. Do not forget to always treat your wounds," said Fahri.

"Ready."

Shortly thereafter, the call was interrupted. Fahri turned around, when he was surprised to see Arumi who was standing looking at him suspiciously.

"Who are you calling, Mom?" ask the woman.
