He went back to his room, his mind was in a mess. He tried to call Gania back but there was no answer at all.
"i have to go home tonight"
Gibran packed his clothes and stuffed them into a suitcase carelessly.
The clock shows at 01:15 in the morning. His decision was already unanimous to leave his job in order to break the misunderstanding of Gania and her Grandmother.
In the car, Gibran tries to contact Papa Surya. Three times the call there is no answer, but luckily this fourth call Papa Surya answered it.
"Pa, sorry. Gibran came home tonight" he said
"why Gi? Then tomorrow's meeting?"
"this is more important than the meeting. Gibran believes Papa's secretary can handle it"
"actually what's up?"
"preferably Papa's morning to go home, there's something important that Gibran should explain"
Not until Papa Surya answered, Gibran first closed his call.

At home, Gania is like someone who has lost her body. He could not close his eyes, he daydreamed at the dimly lit ceiling of his Grandmother's room without light.
"why did this happen" said Gania Lirih
"honey, I'm sorry Mommy made you sad too" said Gania again as she stroked her stomach
He never thought that his household would be like this, especially when the condition is pregnant.
"don't think much, you better rest. Grandma sure tomorrow morning Gibran came home" said Grandma suddenly while hugging her grandson warmly
"how could Gania not think of him? Grandma heard that sound too, right?"
"but Gibran said he was being framed?"
Gania nodded
"already, rest first. Later if it's morning we just wait for clarity from Gibran"
Then Gania nodded again and tilted her body to the right. The shadow of the voice still enveloped Gania's mind, but she tried to close her eyes.

At 07:30
The sound of Gibran's car arrived in his garage. He hurried out of the car and into the house.
In the TV room, he saw Gania with her eyes, Grandma and Papa Surya.
"i'll explain" Gibran said, sitting on the floor in front of Gania
"last night I was bored, I decided to go out for coffee at the Cafe next to the Hotel. When I was in line, it turned out that there was Pricilla"
"Pricillas?"
"Pricillas?"
Tanya Gania and Papa Surya together.
"yes" replied Gibran
"he said he ordered two coffees. One for him and one for his friend. But when he got the coffee, he said his friend left, and he offered me the coffee" he continued
"he made me sit together.."
"and you want to?!" Gania cuts through Gibran's story
"is your strength not enough to fight Pricilla?" gania Cibir
"dear, listen to me. At first he apologized to me, but I didn't answer a word. Then I immediately drank the coffee until it ran out so I could quickly get away from him" he continued
"but when I stood up, I felt my stomach wasn't digesting the coffee. So I spit it back out, and after that I don't remember anything. I think I fainted"
"are you in the poison?" ask Gania
"maybe that kind of thing. I didn't realize I woke up when Grandma called me and scolded me"
"you fucked her!" yell Gania
"Gania, calm down son" Grandma tried to calm down the teary-eyed Gania
"i don't feel like fucking her that"
"but she screamed you raped her" Grandma said
"no, there's no way I'm raping her"
"what's the evidence?" Gania wants proof
Gibran thought for a moment
"i didn't find any liquid left"
Instantly Grandma and Papa Surya laughed, while Gania stared at all the astonishment.
"Gania, Papa believes Gibran didn't. Don't you know who Pricilla is?" ask Papa Surya
Gania nodded
"but how can there be a submission of an imprecious voice?" ask Gania
"devote? meaning?"
Then Gania played back the voice mail last night.
"i didn't send it, just look at my phone there isn't" Gibran showed the contents of the chat
"that's trap. After sending, he must have deleted it" said Papa Surya
Gania thinks this makes sense too.
"so how? do you believe in me?" ask Gibran
Gania still silently looked at Gibran's eyes, she also saw no lies there.
"but why is he there?" ask Gania then
"don't ask" Gibran answered and sat down on the sofa next to Gania
"Papa thinks he's following you Gi" said Papa Surya
"i don't know if Gibran's out of town?"
It is still a big question mark.

The Hotel
"ahaha I slept well last night" said Pricilla, hugging Gibran's signature roll
"look at Gania, your heart will be broken after this" he said with a cynical smile
