Rasya Apartments

Rasya came out of the walk-in-closet with a neat condition with his suit. Seeing that his wife was ready, Rasya frowned.

Rasya approached Clara who was combing her hair in front of the dresser.

"Where are you going?" ask Rasya.

Clara looked at the husband from the mirror image before her.

"I want to go to Mom's house. Can you, brother?" Although still feeling afraid of Rasya, but Clara tried to strengthen herself.

"Hmm, of course I can. I'll drive you! Come fast!" Rasya breezed out of the room.

Clara was still gawking when she heard that Rasya was going to drive her. "Did I hear wrong?" muttered.

Not wanting Rasya to return to his wrath, Clara rushed to follow Rasya's steps. Don't forget Clara took her branded handbag.

During the trip, no conversation took place between the two. Everyone is busy with their thoughts. Despite being silent to each other, Clara occasionally glanced at Rasya who was busy driving.

Until finally Rasya's car entered the yard of the Hutama family home. Before getting out of the car, Clara thanked her husband.

Rasya did not retaliate, but he emphasized one thing to Clara.

"Don't think I'm doing this because of you. I did it so you could tell your family about your pregnancy. Aren't you very happy that everyone knows this?" Rasya still said no to Clara.

Clara sees Rasya leaving without opening the car door for her. Clara sighed. It feels like the struggle is still long to be able to conquer the heart of Rasya.

Entering the house, Rasya and Clara meet with Naura who is about to leave school with Dea. Rasya kindly greeted the little girl.

"Hi, pretty. You want to go to school?" rasya asked while crouching to match Naura's height.

"Yes, Om. Naula wants to go to school. Bial's a spinster." Naura replied with a funny prank.

Rasya smiled widely and gently rubbed the top of Naura's head.

"Come, baby. We'll be late!" Dea took Naura by the hand and said goodbye to Rasya and Clara.

Unbeknownst to them, Nilam notices the interaction between Naura and Rasya. His heart rumbled seeing Rasya's attention on Naura.

"Why didn't I suspect him a long time ago?" inner Patchouli.

"Mother!" Clara greeted Nilam who looked dreamy.

"Eh? The clara? You coming?" Nilam immediately hugged his youngest daughter.

Nilam also greeted Rasya who approached him. Shortly after, Rasya said goodbye because he had to go to work.

Clara brought her mother to talk in the living room.

"Mom, there's something I want to tell Mom." Clara said with sparkling eyes.

"Mom!" Clara rubbed her hands because Nilam was silent.

"Eh? Why?" ask Nilam.

"Mother why? Why keep daydreaming?"

Nilam smiling. "Ah, not really. Oh yeah, what do you want to say?"

"Hmm, I'm pregnant, Mom!"

Nilam looked at Clara in disbelief. "really? You pregnant?"

Clara nodded steadily. Nilam immediately hugged his daughter. He gently rubbed Clara's back as his mind wandered somewhere.

"I have to confirm the truth! Whether Rasya is Naura's biological father or not. Nola has been friends with Rasya. There could be a chance of them getting into a relationship, right?" inner Patchouli.

Nilam broke his embrace. "Lunch here. I'll cook your favorite food. I'll take you home later."

Clara smiled broadly. "That's my purpose for coming here, ma'am. I really want to eat Mom's cooking!" Clara is spoiled.

Nilam again rubbed Clara's arm gently. "If Naura is Rasya's son..." Nilam closed his eyes. He did not dare to think about it any further.

"Yes God! Why did all this have to happen to my family?" Nilam back to bathe.

The Huda Family Residence

Sinta sat in silence by crossing her hands. He was still upset by the words of Faishal who blamed him for Arshad's attitude.

Sinta thought hard how to conquer the son just wayang. Arshad has always done as he pleased and has never listened to himself or Faishal.

Arshad is a kid who doesn't like to be organized. Evidently he prefers to be a doctor rather than continue the company owned by his father.

"How should I keep an eye on Arshad?" mummy Sinta.

Unexpectedly, Saif, Faishal's sister came to the house and met Sinta's sight.

"Saif, what's wrong?" Sinta immediately approached Saif.

"Ah, this is sister-in-law. Brother Faishal asked me to retrieve the files left in his study." Saif looked down and then passed.

Saif is Faishal's younger brother and confidant of the man. Usually Saif does things that are not only related to the company but also personal.

Sinta who remembered about it immediately walked towards her husband's study.

"Sayf!" call Sinta. "There's something I want to ask you!" Sinta looks serious.

"What's up, brother?" The middle-aged man looked panicked as Sinta looked at him.

"Have you been asking Arshad lately for help?" search Sinta.

"Did?!" Saif looks nervous.

"Say! Did Arshad ask you to do something? I know something's wrong with my son! Say it!" insist Sinta.

Saif is very nervous now. Moreover, his brother-in-law likes to threaten if he does not tell the truth.

"Sister, actually..." I am confused whether to be honest or not. He had promised Arshad not to divulge his secret to anyone.

"Quick say! Don't you remember who helped your family when you were in trouble, huh?!" Sinta always threatened Saif who was financially different from her husband.

The ordinary Saif could not argue with his brother-in-law. Even Saif had been reporting on Faishal's activities outside the home for decades. Saif is a spy for Sinta, but an assistant for Faishal and Arshad.

"I'll add the monthly money for your son!" persuade Sinta with the lure of money. Usually this works.

Saif closed his eyes. He also seemed to breathe a few times.

"Alright, Brother. I'll say! But, please don't tell Arshad if I tell you."

Sinta patted Saif on the shoulder. "You just calm down! You don't believe me, huh?!"

"Umm, actually ... After Arshad came back here, he ... Asking me to find out about someone." Saif lowered his head.

"someone? Who?!" Sinta was very excited.

"Arshad didn't say anything in detail, he just mentioned a name."

Sinta's eyes widened. "What's his name?" Sinta is getting impatient.

"Nolas. Arshad asked me to look for a girl named Nola," Saif replied with a cold sweat.
