Eps 125 - Gabriel's Business
Gio who got the news of Firda's rumour made him immediately run into Firda's room.
While in that room, Gio looked at Firda so softly, Gio breathed a sigh of relief because his end Firda was conscious as well after a week of waiting.
"Mrs Firda.." she said.
"Gio, where am I?" ask Firda in such a hoarse voice.
"Water, you need water, ma'am... Waita minute..." Gio came back out of his room, and before long Gio went back in with a glass of water. Firda's throat did indeed feel so dry and upon seeing that water, he swallowed his saliva.
"Here, Madame Firda..."
Firda was about to sit down but he groaned when he felt his body crumbling, Gio also swiftly helped Firda sit down.
"My hijab." said Firda as she realized she was not wearing the hijab.
"Sorry, Mrs Firda. But I don't have that..."
"Reverse! I want my hijab." Firda said, and when he looked down, he also realized his clothes had changed.
Even Gio innocently turned around, Firda looked around for anything that could cover his head and hair. He even forgot his thirst
"Gio, where am I?" ask Firda then.
"In my house, Madam Firda." replied Gio in a low voice, as soon as Firda immediately swerved. As far as he knows, Gio is good, but Gio is an enemy of Gabriel.
There was a bit of fear in Firda's heart knowing she was at Gio's house, and what about her husband?
" Don't worry, Madame Firda. I won't hurt you" Gio said then as if he could read Firda's mind.
"Then, where are Micheal and Mini?" ask Firda with a trembling voice.
"Together with your husband" Gio replied still in a soft voice. Gio had known all about Gabriel by now. And Gio's grudge now he diverts to the boy named Michael and the woman named Angeline. Gio has been determined to make Gabriel pay for his family's life, hasn't he? The grudge was indeed disturbed because of the love present in his heart for the main target, but what if there is another target?
Firda lowered her head with a drop of tears flowing down her cheeks, her cries slowly stirred up a sob and at the end her body trembled as her cries grew.
Gio who heard the sound of Firda's cry immediately turned his head, Gio really could not bear to see Firda in this state.
"Mrs Firda, don't cry" pinta Gio in such a gentle voice.
"I want to go home, Gio.." Pinta Firda still lowered her head.
Gio shook his head "I can't give you back to her, Madam. He can't even protect you." Gio said.
"He's my husband..."
"What's different about you?"
Instantly Gio was flabbergasted to hear what Firda said, what else when Firda settled down with a gaze so dear "You also want to kill me, right? You live in a criminal world too, right?" ask her with a trembling voice and of course Gio immediately shook her head firmly.
"Not anymore, Miss Firda... I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise, I swear" she said.
"Why if you take so much revenge on Gabriel and you take it upon me? What if someone wants to kill me for having a grudge against you?" ask Firda again.
"No, I love you and I will protect you!!! " exclaimed Gio who made Firda immediately stunned, he did not expect what Gabriel said was true there, Gio did love him?
"I can't hurt you because I love you so much" Gio said.
"Gio.." lirih Firda frustrated, he covered his face with both his hands.
"Go away, and I beg you, bring me my hijab.." said Firda.
Gio nodded in understanding and he immediately rushed out. Firda wiped away the tears that soaked her cheeks, and she had to get out of this house, and return to her husband...

Edward instigates one of Gabriel's men to guard him, by luring in the lure of various things including a third of Gabriel's fortune, seducing him and helping Edwards escape.
This infuriated Gabriel, and he ordered all his men to find Edward alive or dead. He doesn't care, the most important thing is to find Edward.
In the midst of his thoughts and feelings, Gabriel gets a call from his grandfather-in-law.
"Gabriel, have you found Firda yet?" ask her with her voice.
"Yet, Kek.." replied Gabriel in a soft and desperate voice. He looked down embarrassed, ashamed of himself who could not protect his wife.
"Don't give up, son. Keep trying to find her and do not forget to pray, grandfather is sure she will be fine" he said.
"It's my fault, Cake. I can't protect him, I can't protect my wife and child, what I have to tell my in-laws later..."
"You're just a human being, son. Destiny will not always be according to your will, even if you are a king. Don't worry, God himself will take care of her. While your in-laws, as much as I can calm them down...."
Gabriel's heart was a little relieved to hear what his grandfather-in-law said, who had given a lot of wise advice to him and Firda. The only one from the Firda family who knows Gabriel's true identity.
" I'll find her soon, Cake. I-i promise. And after that, we will stay in the village. With a simple life as long as we feel calm"
"God will grant your good intentions"
