"And you know Na, who did you meet after two months there?" Saying something that is starting to calm down.

"Who's Ma'am'?" Naina asked curiously.

"Relder. Father's personal assistant." Answer Sekar sure.

Naina frowned. He tried to remember the man named Rendi who Sekar mentioned.

"Replace?" Naina muttered while remembering.

"Yes. He was always with Romo wherever he went. You must have met him when you saw Romo that night." Sekar.

Naina is trying hard to roll back her memory that almost seven years ago. He tried to find the figure of Rendi, the assistant pimp.

"Is he a man who is a little stocky Ma'am'? His face is pretty handsome. But, it seems, his age isn't that far with Romo." Terka Naina's.

"Yes, it's Rendi." Answer Sekar sure.

"He survived ma'am from the attack?" Naina asked curiously.

"Yes." Yeah."

The Flashback

The cloudy afternoon. A line of black clouds is seen over the afternoon sky of Jogja City. They seemed very ready to spill all their contents on the earth, to become the source of life for the inhabitants of the earth.

I just got out of the hospital for the umpteenth time. And certainly, for the same reason as when he first underwent hospitalization one week after he was taken to Joko's house.

Two months ago, Sekar stayed at Joko's house. Although Joko pampered him very much, but Sekar's heart was completely closed to him. He rejects Joko outright, because he knows all the bad things that Joko has done so far.

Joko is not only a businessman in the world of night entertainment, but he also has a side business that is not contrary to humanity.

Joko has a business selling drugs that have penetrated into various cities. In addition, he also often traded underage women to be made 'night butterflies' or even slaves**** for some of his similar business associates.

Joko can very neatly cover his illegal business from law enforcement. He always escapes the scrutiny of law enforcement who begin to suspect him. And that's all, thanks to his cooperation with some of his business associates, who have their own connections at the local law enforcement office.

"Rest in the room! I'll accompany you later!" Pinta Joko was gentle as she reached home after picking up Sekar at the hospital.

Just being quiet doesn't answer anything. He just walked towards his room with a slightly limp body. He really doesn't care about Joko.

Joko actually loves Sekar very much. He had long since put his heart on Sekar and wanted to make Sekar his wife.

But because of Joko's illegal business, Sekar did not put his heart in the least. Because for Sekar, Joko's business trading women is the same as he does not appreciate women. And he did not get to the heart if he had to enjoy the money from the results of the business.

In the past, Joko was hindered by Romo who also loved Sekar. But now, Romo is gone. And now, Joko is trying to melt Sekar's heart, so that he will accept Joko completely.

BRUISES.

Sekar who was a little dreamy, accidentally hit someone who turned out to be in a hurry to meet Joko. Still silent, saying nothing. Until he heard the voice of the man he hit.

"Sorry Mom'!" Said the man quickly while slightly lowering his head.

He immediately looked at the person who had collided with him. He frowned trying to see the face of that person who was still down.

"Replace?" Speak Quickly.

The person who was attacked by Sekar turned out to be a man. The man immediately raised his face. His body is straight with his handsome face. A very familiar face. But, there is something different.

"Rendi? Is that you?" Ask Me again.

"I'm Galih Bu'. One of Mr. Joko's bodyguards." Answer the man.

"No, I can't be wrong. You must be Rendi. Don't you remember me? I'm Sekar." Say something to make sure.

"Yes, Ibu is Pak Joko's future wife, Ibu Sekar." Answer the plain galih.

"Not that."

"Then?"

"You're Father's personal assistant, aren't you, Rendi Irawan? How did you survive the attack?"

"I mean Mom?"

Sekar tries to convince Galih that he is Rendi. The same person, who had always helped him in many ways. Who has always been loyal to the figure of Romo for saving him when he was young.

"I'm Galih Yolanda Bu', not Rendi like I said before." Refute Galih again

Without thinking, Sekar pulled Galih's hand just like that. He still remembers, Rendi had a brown birthmark on the outside of her upper arm. The joint also has a stitch scar just above the birthmark. And Sekar wants to make sure of that.

Sekar rolled up the sleeves of Galih's shirt to the limit of his upper arm. An unprepared dig, slightly slashed in surprise.

And right, Sekar found the birthmark and the stitch scar.

"You're Rendi, not Galih. It's your birthmark and stitch scar for helping Romo fight Joko seven years ago." Say Sekar sure.

Galih was slightly fixated on hearing Sekar's words. He began to get confused by what he had just heard.

"Decision!"

Joko's voice distracts Galih and Sekar. The two turned to look at Joko who was standing at the doorway of her study.

"Why did you stop there?" Jerky Joko.

"Sorry Sir!" Joko sunggan.

Galih immediately went over to Joko. Sekar just stared at Galih who walked away from him.

"What happened to Randy? Why doesn't he recognize me? And how did he survive?" Mumbled Sekar while staring at the figure of Joko and Galih who began to enter the workspace Joko.

Then he walked back to his room. With great curiosity, he returned to his room. And trying to find a way, so that he can chat more with Galih. But, unbeknownst to Joko.

The day keeps changing. It's hard to see Galih again. He began to think of other ways to get complete information about Galih. And he got a way. Although a little reckless, but the possibility to succeed is quite high. And Sekar was sure of that.

Sekar finally carried out his plan slowly. He began to want to eat and drink for the sake of his plan. And Joko didn't suspect that.

Until finally, Sekar invited Joko to accompany him to drink alcoholic beverages on the grounds of longing for his old habits. Joko welcomed him. Joko immediately prepared his best drink for Sekar.

Sekar seduced Joko so subtly. He can make Joko drink the alcoholic beverages that Joko prepared earlier. Until Joko starts getting drunk. And Sekar, start to continue his plan. He interrogates Joko about Galih. And Sekar, got the answer that night.

"Yes, he's Rendi, Hartono's personal assistant. I've been after him for a long time, but he's too loyal to Hartono." Joko said on the sidelines while drunk.

Sekar was immediately relieved to hear Joko's confession. He then immediately asked Joko's bodyguards to move Joko's unconscious body to his room. He plays that Joko has again forced him to fulfill his desires when Joko is drunk tonight.

Two weeks later, Sekar returned to the hospital. He refused everything Joko gave him. He had also managed to see Galih several times before he entered the hospital again. And he secretly managed to convince Galih, that he was Rendi, Sekar's old friend and not Joko's men.

The hospital began to suspect. Because Sekar has three times returned to the same hospital in less than three months and with the same circumstances.

Joko did take Sekar to a different hospital several times, in order to cover his actions. But now he is beginning to be suspected.

Until Sekar ventured to ask for help from the hospital to help him escape from the hospital, even though his condition has not recovered. He has also made a pact with Galih, will escape with him from Joko's residence. And the hospital was willing to help him after Sekar explained everything.

The hospital offered police assistance, but was refused by Sekar. Because he knows, Joko has a confidant connection who works at the police station.

Things are not going as smoothly as Sekar hoped. He and Galih, get caught by Joko's bodyguards. They ran from Joko's bodyguard.

"Deliver!"

Galih and Sekar rebelled with all their might because they were caught. And with his anger, two of Joko's bodyguards beat Galih to death for daring to escape with Sekar. Sekar also got a punch that is not so hard on his face as a reprimand for daring to escape.

Sekar's weak body fell hard onto the pavement floor. The incident that occurred on the roadside was quite dense, grabbing the attention of dozens of pairs of eyes.

"Hey! What are you doing? She's a woman. You can't treat her like that." Snapped by a male boulevard who had just come out of the restaurant, whose courtyard became the place where Sekar and Galih were beaten by Joko's bodyguards.

Dozens of pairs of eyes that had not dared to help Galih and Sekar, immediately turned to look at the handsome boule who walked up to Sekar to help him.

"You don't have to interfere!" Snapped Joko's bodyguard.

Two of Joko's bodyguards, immediately pulled Galih's limp body and pulled Sekar's hand that had stood because it was helped by the bule earlier. Sekar's body jolted violently because it was very weak.

But, the bule did not release his hand from Sekar. Until it makes Sekar not fall. And he immediately turned towards the bule again.

Suddenly, another male bulle came forward against Joko's bodyguard who wanted to take Sekar.

"It's our business, because you're not being nice to this woman." Say it a little less clearly.

"Don't block us, or you'll know the consequences!" Snapped Joko's bodyguard again.

"You picked the wrong opponent!" The bule's ejek is relaxed.

"Don't get cocky you're Bule!" Challenge Joko's bodyguard.

"Beat them!" Pinta bule is short.

Joko's bodyguard, who also knew English, frowned. Up to four men with strong stature who were all Indonesians who had also been there, began to approach them. They immediately beat up Joko's men in no time.

The cheers and applause of dozens of pairs of eyes that had witnessed the incident, became the end of a fight won by four people who turned out to be the bodyguards who helped Sekar earlier. Joko's bodyguards chose to flee before they could not escape.

"Are you okay Madam?" Ask that bule.

Just nodding.

"Join!"

Sekar immediately approached Rendi's weakly drooped body with some bruises and torn skin because it was beaten by Joko's bodyguards. A moment that was still weak, suddenly fainted just like that.

The two Caucasians immediately took Sekar and Rendi to the hospital. They even waited until Sekar and Rendi finished getting help.

"Thank you." Rendi said softly after he finished getting medical help.

"You're welcome. Who is your name?" Ask the second bule.

"Shy. Oh no, Rendi."

"And that woman?"

"He's Sekar, my friend."

"He's not your wife?"

"No. And who is this Master?"

"My name is Joe. And he's Mr. William Robert, my boss." Obviously the bule.

Joe asked Rendi a lot of things. He also told me what he remembered. He also told me little he knew about Sekar.

When Sekar siuman, he was already in the inpatient room back, but in a different hospital. And now, there was a man accompanying her.

William asked Sekar a few things. Just answer it slowly.

"Come with me to America! You will be safe there." Take William without hesitation.

Sekar who was too tired, he accepted William's invitation just like that. He and Rendi were taken by William to America after their condition recovered. Just a moment to forget Naina.

And Joko, he was furious because he had to lose Sekar. He even vented his anger on all of his guards. But, he kept his promise to Sekar. He will not interfere with the lives of Leah, Hera and Naina because Sekar already wanted to come with him yesterday. Although now, he had to lose Sekar from his side.

Flashback Off

"Mr William is a good man." Praise Naina.

"Yes. She's very kind to Mom and Rendi." I'm Sekar.

"Then, how is Mr Rendi now?"

"Because that's why I've been watching you for the past month."

"I mean Mom?"

"Rendi had obtained her memories perfectly by now."

"Thank God. Then, why have you been monitoring Naina for a month? Why haven't you seen me all this time?"

"Mom doesn't want to make Joko come to you. And for this month, because of Rendi's confession."

"Rendi Sir's confession?"

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

"Rendi said Delvin wasn't Zia's father." Say Sekar sure.
