"So how is my mother?", asked Lingga to a psychiatric specialist.
"Mrs Sekar was just in shock. It's good, the environment and family support him to be calm and not depressed!", said the doctor.
"Mother doesn't need to be cared for, do you?", asked Lingga again.
"No need, just continue taking the medicine regularly and take care of his emotions."
The doctor also prescribed Sekar's medicine. After everything seemed to improve, Sekar was brought back home.
"Mom, did you hear what the doctor said? I don't think about it!", said Lingga as they were all in the car. Puja was driving his car, while Sekar was sitting in the apit by Gita and Vanes.
"Yes", replied Sekar briefly. But his eyes were empty. The shadow as he was harassed by Glen flashed across his eye pellet. Until whenever the event can not be forgotten. Moreover.the face of Sham and Glen is like someone who reflects. Exact same! Just different ages.
Vanes and Gita only look on the beautiful female figure at the age that has not even fifty years.
"Ga!"
"Yes?"
"Where do you think Om Surya knows that Sham is his grandson?", Puja asked Lingga.
"The person is Surya many times, brother, he is not a random person! He can monitor Glen!", replied Lingga without frills 'Om' in calling Glen's name.
Gita knows that her husband who contacted Surya chose to remain silent. She doesn't want her husband to be blamed. It may be wrong, but Arya just wants Syam to get justice. That was what Arya had in mind without thinking what the consequences would be like. What is clear is, of course, the mental state of Sekar. He's the most depressed here.
Linga turned her head towards her mother-in-law whom she had considered her own mother. They were still staring blankly at the road leading to their home.
"According to big brother Ga's view, if at that time Bu Sekar received accountability from Glen, it might not happen like this! Sorry, not defending Glen. This is just my point of view!", said Puja lirih as she stared at the rearview view of the three women behind.
"If you knew you were going to get pregnant with Sham, maybe you would. Unfortunately I don't know. I can't blame Glen's position either. I was in the same situation once too. Neither has access to find out where my wife's family is."
Puja did not speak to his sister.
"I'm self-conscious, my ugliness is actually not much different from her. It's just, God still gives me a chance to fix everything."
"If you can say Ga, let Bu Sekar and Syam decide for themselves whether to forgive Glen or not! Instead of what, we never know what someone's heart is like right?", puja turned a short look at Lingga.
"You mother ..I think she's hard to apologize to Glen. And Sham...?" said Lingga.
"Chicken is too small to understand this difficult situation. Wasn't she forced into adulthood by circumstances?", asked Puja again.
"But brother, I often see that Syam actually needs a father figure. But.. since Glen knew the background of Sham, and out of fear of Aunt Helen....ah ..that it became an emotion again sis?!", said Lingga memijit templenya.
"I didn't know you loved Sham very much, Ga! However, Syam is entitled to recognition from his papa's family. He will remain with you, for guardianship is with you. So, do not worry later Syam will be brought by Glen's side. Anyway, like you said earlier. Aunt Helen's fate is no luckier than mother's. He also felt betrayed!"
Lingga stared at the streets that are now starting to thicken which means it has approached the alley that entered the village.

"Aunty!", call Angel.
"Dear, why?", asked Angel.
"What... is it true that Zea's papa is... Is the father Sham too?", asked Angel.
Galuh took a deep breath. He was not sure he wanted to tell Angel about it considering, Angel is also a relative of Zea.
"Yes!", answered Galuh briefly in the end.
"That means...Sham brother Zea?", asked Angel again.
"Huum, yes An!", replied Galuh.
"Did Zea know that Sham was her brother?"
"Yes, Zea knows that. And Zea asked that Sham not take his papa from Zea!" said Galuh. He didn't mean to complain about the sheep. It's just that he wanted to tell Angel what it was.
After hearing Galuh's reply, Angel stopped asking. Maybe all his curiosity has been answered by Galuh.
"Angel wants to eat? Let aunty get ready?", Galuh asked.
"May deh aunty!", replied Angel. He left Angel in his room. The pregnant woman went to the kitchen. Outside the kitchen door many of his workers are taking care of his vegetable garden.
Precisely Syam vegetable garden because Lingga has divided all vegetable garden income is owned by Syam. And it will be Sham who will manage it.
Bik Mumun was seen chatting with other workers. Galuh could not bear to call Mumun who seemed to have just finished resting.
Despite being pregnant, Galuh is still deftly doing homework let alone just preparing lunch.
After it felt enough to prepare at the dinner table, Galuh intended to call his father-in-law and also his only brother. But .....
"Syam knows, dear pa-pa is not the same brother?", asked Sham. Arya smiled not answering Sham's question.
"If it's the same brother? How's it? Do you have a big mistake until you hate your sister?", asked Syam who sounded so striking to an Aryan.
Galuh himself who had accidentally wanted to call them also chose to listen to the chat the two of them.
"Papa does not hate your brother Sham!", replied Arya. My eyes began to glaze over.
If you don't hate me, then why would you treat me like this? Mumbled. Giddy.
"Why then?", asked Sham again.
"Papa can not be a good person in front of your brother and brother!", replied Arya who made Syam confused.
"But why? Don't all questions have answers? Even answering the question is there must be a way to solve it?"
Arya turned to wonder at the child who was not even eleven years old.
"As with the hatred of my brothers and sisters, there must be a way to solve it. Can you tell me why pa? Papa can accept Sham who is just a ha-ram boy!"
"Stttt.. There is no such thing as an illegitimate son of Sham! Nothing!", Arya replied in a raised voice.
Syam was surprised to hear Arya say such a loud word.
"I'm sorry, if Sham's words are wrong and make papa Arya angry!", said Syam bowed. Seeing Sham who seemed to have mistaken it, Arya neutralized the emotions in her chest.
"Papa's sorry! Listen to papa! There is no such thing as an illegitimate child in this world Sham. There ain't! All children born into the world are born holy! There are no illegitimate children of Sham, no!", said Arya. After saying so, Arya got up and left Sham. Seeing Arya leave, Galuh approached his sister.
"Sir, lunch is yuk! Wasn't that breakfast?", Galuh. Syam also obeyed.
