For the past few days, Maureen has been beset by doubts about Jordan. I don't know why all of a sudden the feeling came and haunted his mind.
Already a few days after Fritz's departure, there were plenty of opportunities for Jordan to save the woman. Jordan had access to get out of the house, he could have reported to the authorities if he wanted to.
Or he could ask Maureen where her family and friends were. So that they can free Maureen from this cursed place.
But until this moment, Jordan did nothing. Maureen begins to worry if Jordan is just a spy for Fritz, who takes advantage of the opportunity to fuck her.
Jordan is Fritz's nephew. Maureen doesn't know what and how Jordan and Fritz are doing. Although Jordan often recounted Fritz's crimes, and defended him in front of the old man. But at the moment he can't put 100% trust in Jordan.
"Maureen, go to Fritz's reading room now. I was there."
Maureen discovers a handwriting of Jordan, which is tucked through a crack under the bedroom door. When he was pacing back and forth while thinking in front of the door.
Not long after that woman came out. But immediately approached by one of the guards, who happened to be on patrol to all corners of the room.
"Where are you going?" ask the guard to Maureen. Maureen was silent and a little unsteady.
"Mmm, I'm bored in the room. Go to the reading room." Maureen said later.
"I'm taking it in" said the guard.
Maureen complies. He stepped towards Fritz's private reading room or library. He had been invited by Fritz several times before.
"Don't bother me, I can be stressed if there are people near me" Maureen told the guard.
He entered the reading room and locked it from the inside. While the guard stood at the door, afraid that Maureen might try to escape.
Maureen began to search for Jordan among the shelves of books lined up. Because the room is so big.
"Jordan?"
"Sst."
Jordan came up from behind and they hugged each other.
"Maureen, baby."
Jordan kissed Maureen on the forehead, then kissed the baby inside. Maureen smiled faintly, trying hard to look ordinary in front of Jordan. Although great doubt now melted him. He no longer looked at the man as he had in previous days.
"Here." take Jordan later.
The man then directed Maureen to a place, where there was a sofa and a table to read. There was a lot of food there. Maureen was stunned for a moment, while Jordan smiled at her.
"Come, you must miss eating kayak gini?" sama later.
Maureen sees a lot of food that she likes. There are wafer, chocolate, cake and so on. Ever since she became pregnant, Fritz advised the maids. Maureen is only allowed to eat healthy food, and Maureen does not like it. But in this place, almost everything he wanted existed.
"Let's eat...!" jordan told him.
Maureen then sat down and ate all of it, like a person who had never met food before. Jordan laughed at Maureen.
For a moment Maureen felt happiness, amidst countless traumas. Since Fritz's captivity, before Jordan's arrival. Hardly ever did Maureen feel happiness. Even a heavy smile for him, he had regretted all the evil he had done before.
His actions that once betrayed Arka, once collaborated with Rani to do evil to Amanda. Not heeding his mother's rebuke and advice, living as good as he could and hurting others.
Maureen has been really brooding over her mistakes, all this time. He was even very sorry to have done something stupid, trying to deceive Amman for a luxury. Eventually, Amman turned around to deceive him.
"You likey?" ask Jordan to Maureen.
"I'll set you free soon, Maureen. Don't think I didn't do anything."
This time Maureen was silent looking at Jordan, as if Jordan had known the contents of Maureen's head. Concerning his doubts about the young man.
"Don't you remember when we first met?" Jordan asked, looking into his eyes.
Maureen nodded.
"I went to visit my old friends, because I had been abroad for a long time. Did you see the bracelet I was wearing?"
Maureen tried to remember, but then she nodded.
"Everyone who came out of Fritz's house. Wearing the bracelet, inside the front there's some kind of chip. There Fritz and his confidants can keep an eye on our movements, at which point we are. We can be detected."
Maureen looked at Jordan, not knowing there was such a thing. At one time, it was only in movies or online novels.
"Maybe you're surprised and can't believe it, but it's real. Fritz is an IT, physicist, and hacker. He is a dangerous and influential person in various fields, he moves very, very neatly and thoroughly. There were a lot of big people and had certain positions, who were around him. He often helps with his problems. That's why Fritz is so hard on the noose, he's a lot of backups."
Jordan looked at Maureen and vice versa.
"He and his confidants always follow me, where I go. They know where you live, where your family is, who your friends are. If I come, meet one of them. Or just passing near their residence, they might be in danger. I can't even lend my phone to you, to call your family. Because my phone has been tapped."
Maureen was silent to hear all that, suddenly her appetite just disappeared.
"Keep in this house, are we being watched?" ask her later.
Jordan shakes.
"For this house my movements are quite free, but outside, I can do nothing. He's been wearing that bracelet since I was a kid. Because he's worried, I'm going to go to my real father's. I know the address, although until now I have never met him directly. But I saw a picture of him at a glance in my mother's room, before it was burned by Fritz. I also found her home address and I saved it."
"Why did you come back here?" Not that abroad, you can be free?"
This time Jordan breathed.
"Fritz wants me to be his successor. If I refuse, he threatens to kill my real father. I know my father was bad, he left my mother for another woman. But he's all I have right now. I don't want him to die in Fritz's hands, because he's my father anyway."
Maureen now lowered her head in, her doubts towards Jordan much lessened. Ever since he heard the explanation from the young man.
In other parts, police have found a bright spot about Maureen's disappearance. Some street CCTV began to capture footage of the car Maureen had brought to campus, as she claimed to be Amman's son.
The car is seen moving several times a week at various points. So the police decided to chase the car, first and asked the owner.

The Arkan parents' residence.
Ningsih had been eager to ask her husband who he was buying flowers for the other day. But the woman is still weighing. Is it better to be silent and pretend not to know, but continue to investigate. Or ask at this time at the risk that her husband will lie to her.
Ningsih looked towards the front, to her husband who was sitting while struggling with a mobile phone. Arka's stepfather was looking at a catalog of prices of goods, on a long-time supplier website.
"Mom, please make coffee dong" he said later.
Ningsih then took a glass and started making coffee. Suddenly a determination emerged in her heart, that she must question Fiona to her husband.
The coffee was ready, Arka's mother stepped up. Suddenly a guest came. Arka's father welcomed the guest and forced Ningsih to undo his intentions.
