The sound of a bell that continues to echo in a luxury apartment makes the owner forced to wake up from his deep sleep. He glanced at the clock above the nightstand which showed the time at one in the morning.

"Who's coming in these nights?" he muttered and came down from his soft bed.

The man who owned the apartment pressed a button on the screen and saw a girl who had been pressing the bell in her apartment. The man opened the door for the girl who seemed to be in a mess.

"Sir Rasya!" The girl immediately rushed to hug the man who owned the apartment which was Rasya.

"Claras? What the hell's going on? Why are you coming here at all these nights?"

Rasya brought Clara to sit on the sofa.

"Sister, allow me to stay here for a while."

"Did?!" Rasya.

"I got into a fight with bang Shady because of your sister-in-law!" story Clara.

Rasya massaged his temple slowly. "It's already night. You better take a break first. I'll prepare the guest room."

Clara nodded. Rasya got up from his seat and headed to the guest room. He tidied up a little bed that was rarely occupied.

"Clara, get in the room. Tomorrow you'll tell me if you really want to tell a story."

"Thank you very much, brother. Sorry if I'm troubling you, brother."

Rasya nodded then headed back towards his room.

The next day at the Hutama family home,

Dea opened her eyes and again felt something heavy hit her stomach. Dea looked around and saw different things.

"This is not Naura's room!" inner Dea.

Dea turned around and looked at Shady's face that was sound asleep beside her.

"What?! Since when did I sleep with Mas Shady? Didn't I obviously sleep in Naura's room last night?" Back Dea impinge.

Dea looked at Shady who was still closed. He slowly releases Shady's arm that hugs him.

"If only yesterday you looked peaceful like this, Mom. Now what's Clara's condition? You have the heart, Mommy." Dea muttered softly but was heard by Shady.

Dea's body movements make Shady wake up. Shady opened his eyes and looked at Dea who was looking down miserably.

"I'm sorry..." Again Dea heard an apology from Shady.

"Mas is up?" Dea swerved and immediately moved.

"Dea, please forgive me. I know I was wrong to slap Clara."

"Thank God that I realized my mistake." Dea continued her steps towards the bathroom.

"I'm sorry I carried you here last night. I ... I feel comfortable holding you. I told you I needed you last night. But you still went to Naura's room. Don't blame me if I end up bringing you here."

Dea looked at Shady in disbelief. "What's really going on with you, Mom?" ask Dea.

"Eitherway. I ... just feel comfortable with you. I love the smell of your body."

Dea was stunned to hear Shady's expression. He still can't believe it before Shady actually proves it.

"If Mas is indeed sorry, then Mas must apologize first to Ms. Mas." Dea turned back around.

"But I want to apologize to my wife first."

Dea's heart stopped. Wife? Does Shady really think of Dea as a wife?

Dea looked back at Shady. "Don't play me, Mum. Enough of what you've done to me!"

"Dea, I'm serious!" reply Shady who is still in bed.

"If you're serious, then prove it!" decisively Dea then completely passed from Shady's sight.

Shady breathed. He's been making a lot of mistakes on Dea all this time. And now he's also making a mistake on his mother and sister.

Breakfast this morning was just friends with the quiet. There's only Dea and Shady at the dinner table. Nilam chose to eat in his room.

Shady just nodded and obeyed all of Dea's orders. Right now Shady is as if she is withered with the charm of Dea. He did not want to be hated by his own family.

Meanwhile at Rasya's apartment, Clara is preparing breakfast for Rasya.

"Good morning, sister," said Clara.

"Morning. What are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Hmm, I'm preparing breakfast. Please sit down, Brother."

Rasya sat at the dinner table. He only notices Clara who seems to be getting good at cooking.

"When did you get used to being in the kitchen?" ask Rasya.

"Not often. Just watching as aunt cooks in the kitchen." Clara brought two dishes of eggplant omelets and placed them on the table.

"Hmm, that seems pretty good. I tasted ya!" said Rasya who directly devoured it.

After breakfast, Rasya invites Clara to chat.

"So, what happened to you and Shady?" ask Rasya who does not like to speak stale.

Clara told Rasya everything about the incident of her cross-section of Vanessa. Rasya smiled a smirk hearing that.

"Sister Vaness wanted to get close to Shady on purpose" Rasya said.

"I'm also very sure if the snake woman..." Clara shut her mouth.

"I mean Brother Vanessa wants to get close to bang Shady. I don't know why I'm so sure he's gonna do a sneaky way to get Shady's bang."

Rasya smiled obliquely. "Yes, he'll do the same thing again as he did to my brother."

"Sorry, Brother. But I'm sure if this time Vanessa's sister won't make it." Clara rubbed Rasya's arm.

"Oh yeah? You certain? She's a cunning woman, Clara."

"Yes, I'm sure. Because bang Shady is married. And I'm sure bang Shady won't turn his back on his wife."

"What's? Be married? So, Shady's remarried?"

"Eh?!" Clara glared to find herself the one who had spoken wrongly. "Ah, that... No, Sis. I just just wanted to talk."

Clara immediately moved from her seat. "Sister, I'd better go home. I'm sure you're very worried about me." Clara went to the guest room and took her bag.

"Thank you for giving me a place to stay, brother. Hye!" Clara immediately left Rasya's apartment.

While Rasya silently stared at Clara's departure.

"So, Shady's married? But who's his wife?" muttered Rasya then grabbed his phone and contacted someone.

"Eksa, please investigate about Shady's hidden marriage! I need the information right away!"

Rasya closed his call then smiled meaningfully.

Dea meets Clara at a cafe.  Dea tries to persuade Clara to return home.

"Mas Shady wants to apologize. Please go home!" dea Pinta.

Clara was silent. He was still angry with his brother.

"Sir, please forgive Mas Shady.  I'm sure he didn't mean to do that to Ma'am." Dea held Clara's hands together.

It seems Clara also began to melt with the tenderness of Dea's heart.

"alright. I'm going home. But you're gonna have to defend me if bang Shady says rough again to me."

"of course. I will definitely defend Mbak," Dea replied with a smile.

"How's your relationship with Bang Shady? Is there any progress?"

Clara's question made Dea's face red.

"Eh? That's..." Dea couldn't answer it.

Clara learned of Dea's strange girly. Something must have happened between her brother and Dea.

"alright. Let's go home!" Clara took Dea away from the cafe. Clara embraces Dea's shoulder by continuing to tease her.

Without them noticing, there was someone who took a picture of the two girls from a distance.
