As a man and husband, of course Aji wants to choose to protect his wife and child from anyone who wants to disturb him. Whatever he's gonna do to make his family okay. In addition to being a form of responsibility, the man also felt afraid that Asha would return from his life as before. Aji won't be able to feel that again, just once.
After finishing his meal, Aji invited his wife and son to go home because it was also night time. Mama Nisa has contacted them asking when she will be home. Asha has already told me if she will be having dinner outside. Mama Nisa also understood and would not wait for them.
As soon as the car that Aji drove to the house, it looks like the house is deserted maybe the occupants have slept. Fortunately, my aunt opened the door. Khairi had also fallen asleep in the back seat, until finally Aji who carried her and took her to the room.
"Would you take a shower, Mommy?" ask Asha.
"Yes, but later. I want to sit for a while, I want to rest my body first" replied Aji who was sitting on the sofa in her room.
Asha decided to take a shower first. He also felt tired and wanted to rest, but his body felt sticky not good when he went to sleep. As soon as Asha gets inside the bathroom, Aji tries to contact someone for help.
"Hello, what's wrong? Tumben did you call me?" ask a man across the phone, who is none other than his best friend Dani. He is also an IT expert who can find out everything related to technology. Aji also had time to ask for his help while searching for Asha. Although I did not meet in the end.
"I need your help finding information about someone."
"Don't you say you found your wife?"
"I did find it, this time I need your help to find other people's information. Later I will send photos and also his profile, you find out all about him and what has happened to him for six years," said Aji so seriously, occasionally his eyes looked towards the bathroom, afraid that his wife would come out.
"Oh, what's going on? Is this also related to your past and also about your wife?"
Aji sighed in annoyance. He wanted to speed up the conversation so that Asha would not find out, but Dani asked a lot of questions instead.
"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Later when you get information you will know for yourself. This time I don't want to hear failure because the information I need is also not too difficult for you."
Dani smashed her lips. "About me failing once in my mission, you are willing to insult me. Yesterday because your wife was too good at hiding her identity, to the point that I couldn't find her, but this time just relax, I'll try to find the information of the person you want."
"Yes, that's all I want to say. I'm gonna take a break."
Aji immediately disconnected without waiting for a response from his friend. The man did not want Asha to know what he had done and did not want to burden the woman's mind, let Arvin's affairs himself settle. Aji was sure that the man was not someone she should be afraid of.
Aji also sent a photo of Arvin that he got when finding out about Asha first, as well as the address of the two men's parents. Whether they might still live there or not, let Dani find out for herself. He believes in the abilities of his best friend.
The sound of the bathroom door opening, Asha came out of there and asked her husband to clean up immediately. Without rejection the man nodded and followed the orders of the wife. Fortunately, he ended the call immediately if he did not use the sense he would know.

"Pa, I want to come to the new house, I don't want to go to school" Pinta Khairi whined at her papa.
Aji crouched down in front of her son and said, "Later on that Khairi has returned to our new school to a new home, yes! Now Khairi has to go to school first, only yesterday you went to school, now you have to take a day off?"
Aji tried to persuade the son slowly. He did not want the child to feel sad and left out. Finally Khairi nodded. Although in my heart I feel sad because I am not allowed to come home. However, the boy also did not want to disappoint his father who had tried hard to send him to school.
Aji, Asha and Khairi say goodbye to Mama Nisa and Papa Roni. Both parents were heavy with the departure of their children and grandchildren, but how else, they have now built their own family.
"Mas, do we need to hold a thanksgiving event for the new house? Did you have that show before?" ask Asha between their trips.
"I was just having a little show with my family before, but now we're occupying the house together. If you want to hold another event no problem, even better. I'm just so happy, let's just say it's a prayer for our family to be blessed."
"Can, Mas?"
"Of course you can, whatever you've been doing for good why not? I don't care what money I have to spend, all for you and our son."
Asha felt overwhelmed by the husband's answer, her unrelenting gratitude. A thousand thanks won't be enough. Verily the Lord is so good to him who is a sinful servant. The woman wished she could be forgiven.
Asha nodded, indeed she had planned to hold a thanksgiving event. Like Aji's wishes, he also wants his family to be happy and always blessed. The woman will make a sacred event even if it is just a simple event.
Not how long they finally arrived at the school where Khairi studied. The boy looks happy when he meets his friends. Aji was relieved that the boy was not so sad because his wish was not fulfilled. After making sure that Khairi entered the classroom, Aji also invited her to his house.
Along the way, for some reason Asha suddenly became quiet. It made the husband feel strange and the man asked, "What's the matter, honey? Why are you keeping quiet? Didn't you plan on making a big thanksgiving?"
"There's nothing, Mas," Asha replied with a stiff smile.
"You can't lie to me. Didn't we agree that there would be no more lies between the two of us?"
Asha also lowered her head, even though she had already tried to restrain herself from showing her anxiety in front of Aji. It seems the husband is more sensitive than the woman actually imagined.
"Since Arvin's arrival yesterday I've been restless, Mas. I was always afraid what would happen if the person who had taken my chastity came and suddenly wanted to take Khairi from me? I can't bear to lose my son. He has kept me alive and become my greatest strength. Somehow it would be if I had to lose Khairi."
Aji was surprised. He had never thought in that direction at all, but why did Asha suddenly think about it. It is undeniable that what his wife said was indeed true, one day it is possible that the man will come, whether when it happens. But not for now. Aji pulled her car over and clasped the wife's palm to give the woman peace.
"If it's true that your fear will happen, you just calm down. There is me by your side who always accompanies you under any circumstances. We will try to defend Khairi.Also the man also does not have any rights to khairi. Although he was indeed Khairi's real father, but not in the slightest did he interfere in raising her. He's not your husband either so, he doesn't have any laws."
