Sure enough what Gaza was thinking, Gea cried when he told me everything. About David in Jakarta. David still has both parents.
"Hiks .. hiks ... I feel like the dumbest woman in the world. So stupid of me, I can't tell which people are lying and telling the truth. I was even an ungodly child, forcing my own parents to approve of my marriage at the time."
"Already, it's Ge. Don't cry anymore. I expected that at the beginning you would cry but I still want to tell you. Regarding your parents, they still keep asking about you Ge. Can't you call him yet? Poor them too Ge, they're waiting for news from you. Call them. Tell them everything that happened to you. They will definitely not blame you, they will definitely continue to support you. Believe it."
"Hiks .. hiks ... I'm not ready Ga. I'm not ready to tell my mother and father. I feel like all this is worth it. But, why should it hurt like this?"
There was a sigh from Gaza across the phone.
"Don't keep blaming yourself for everything that's happened. It's not your fault. It's all David's fault, which is so hard on you. He's the one you should blame. You must be upbeat and keep fighting for your son. Please stay strong until the end. I will still help you. So just calm down."
"Please Ga. You are the person I trust the most right now. Thank you, thanks to you, I know all this. But, it looks like I haven't been able to go to Jakarta in the near future."
"It's okay, besides, my search is not over yet. There are still some things that feel awkward in my head. Just focus on what you are doing in Malang. If you're going to Jakarta, don't forget to call me."
"Yes, who else should I call besides you? I don't know anyone in Jakarta."
Gaza chuckles softly. Yes, it is also true. Gea doesn't have many friends. Because his attitude is too good and friendly, it makes many people do not like it.
"Ah right too. It was yes. Next time I call again if I have any other information. Remember to be strong Ge!"
"Yes, Ga. Thanks again yes. Right now, you're the only one I can trust, Ga."
The phone connection stopped. Gaza is now relieved. Although Gea was crying, knowing the truth was important rather than being lied to all the time.
"The strong Ge!"

The crying of Gea had now subsided. He still did not expect that he would be completely lied to. His parents said David was dead. In fact, both of David's parents are still intact both. That means her marriage and David are indeed kept a secret from them. Oh my God, Gea is sad again. He felt like the stupidest person all along.
Rather than keep thinking about it, Gea prefers to go around picking up her cake in stalls and replacing it with a new one. Hopefully, the cake that a few days ago Gea tipped, is over. So he can get money as capital again.
One by one the stalls of Gea came. There are cakes that run out, there are half left, and there are also many more. Gea just left it at the stall where the cake ran out and left a little. Then he rode his bike again to the next village.
Just about to enter the village next door, Gea was stopped by a car and from the car came out two people he did not know. He looks like a thug. His face is very sharp and there are many tattoos on his arms and neck.
Oh God, protect me. Please, I still want to live and meet my son.
"Quick down!"
Gea who does not have any martial skills can only obey. He was terrified, even his hands were trembling. At first glance he looked around. Quiet, there's no house around. People who pass by are rare.
Oh God, I'm so scared. How'this?
"What do you want? Don't bother me!" gea tried to be brave.
"Hahahaha, just talk to us shivering. Are you afraid, sweet? Take it easy, we're not gonna hurt you."
"Then go, you guys! I want to go to the next village" said Gea again.
"Deliver! Release me!" gea shouted as her arms were gripped.
"Just you guys want to take me too. I am not a rich man! I am a poor man! There will be no one who will redeem me if you kidnap me! You're not gonna get anything!"
shout Gea.
The two thugs laughed at Gea's cry.
"Who would want to kidnap you? We were just told to keep you safe so you wouldn't wander around, sweet lady. We've been paid by people anyway. If we want to ask for payment from you. Em, maybe your body can be used" said one of those who stared at Gea from toe to hair.
Gee!
Gea spat in front of the man's face.
"I wouldn't give this body to someone like you! Release me!"
Gea was still thrashing for release. However, his strength was not strong enough for that. Gea was forced to get into the car. However, not yet Gea got into the car, help came.
Two young men directly beat the two thugs blindly. Gea walked backwards and approached the bike. He could only see what was happening in front of him. He prayed that the two young men would win.
Sure enough, Gea's prayer was granted. The thug was already battered and just left using his car. While the two young men only got a slight wound on the face.
Gea thanked the two young men.
"thank you. You two helped me. As a thank you and as an apology, you've hurt your face. This is a little money to be used to buy drugs in pharmacies" said Gea.
"No need for miss. We help sincerely. Small wounds like this mah, a day is also dry. Then excuse us."
The two young men left on their bikes. Gea looked at the departure of the two young men with her excited gaze.
"It's very good of them. Thank you God. You have brought me help."
Gea continued his journey to go to the next village. Fortunately, the cake was not destroyed. So he didn't bother to cut anymore.
By the time Gea had left the place, apparently the two young men had only left until invisible in front of Gea. The two then followed wherever Gea went like a guard.
When Gea stopped somewhere, one of the young men reported the incident to his boss.
"Reporteur Mr. Gaza, there were two thugs who were not a man who would kidnap Miss Gea. Good thing we managed to foil that plan."
"Good, keep protecting Gea from the bad guys. Anyway don't let Gea get hurt in the least."
"Good sir."
Apparently, the two young men were a messenger from Gaza to protect Gea. Gaza fears that Gea is not doing well in the area. Especially there are no relatives.
