"Thank you, Dad, my love is more than enough. Papa has become papa and mama for me, I love equally papa," said Salma hugging the stocky body of Sham who sat firmly in a chair near the door.
"But pa Kasian is also mama Ayu, why papa ga love the same opportunity mama Ayu so mama Ayu can change," continued Salma release his embrace.
Syam thought for a moment the words of his daughter who always thought of Ayu but Ayu herself even hated herself.
"Supposedly Ayu can be grateful to have a child as good and sincere as Salma without the slightest hatred, maybe I can give you a chance and I can learn to love you Yu. It is clear that you are not for me and are not a good mother for Salma, even your own child you are abandoned just for the sake of chasing men," Inner Sham.

The day will arrive, the day of which is certainly in the letter sent by the religious court for the first mediation.
Before leaving for the religious court, early in the morning after breakfast Syam invited Salma to check the restaurant. During the trip from the hotel where Syam stayed to the restaurant in Lembang, Syam continued to hold Salma affectionately.
"You should be able to learn to manage the restaurant and restaurant as well, because everything will be yours. Even though you are only a foster child but all this has been mama and papa noon right for you," said Syam stroked Salma's long hair.
"But I was a kid who knew this kind of business" said Salma who did not understand anything about business.
"Papa know you are 9 years old but every day your age increases, the more days you grow bigger and later after you grow up you can replace the position of papa. That's what papa means," said Syam poking Salma's nose.
Arriving at the restaurant, Syam and Salma got out of the car and went straight into the restaurant that had been opened by Dendy.
"Morning sir, morning Salma," said Dendy.
"For Dendy's sake," Salma replied with a friendly smile.
"Papa I'm here, yes, I want to drink some juice" Salma pointed to a table by the window.
"Dear, you ask for help to make it the same as Erni yes," said Syam.
"Dendy, I'm asking for a report on the money for the week. I wait in my study," said Syam firmly and then entered his study.
Before long Dendy also came with financial statements requested by Syam.
Tok tok tok tok
"Yes in" said Sham, Dendy opened the door and entered the office of Sham.
"This is the report you asked for" said Dendy gave a weekly financial report file.
"Sit down, there's something I want to talk to you about" Sham said, then Dendy followed what was ordered by his boss.
Syam read carefully and carefully, every report made by Dendy.
"Yes good, I believe this restaurant is the same as you and maybe I will rarely stop here because I have to take care of the restaurant in Jakarta. I hope you can keep the trust that I give you" said Syam.
"You can send me a financial report via email yes, if there is a problem with this restaurant you can directly call me," continued Syam gave confidence to Dendy, said, ordinary employees who had helped Syam when they needed help to deliver him as fast as lightning.
The conversation continued to take place by discussing work, while Salma sat outside while designing her phone and enjoying a cup of avocado juice with chocolate milk. Not to forget Salma ordered mango jud for Mr. Suryo who was waiting in the parking lot.
Before 11 noon Syam went from the restaurant and went directly to the Bandung religious court.
With the heart ached for her short marriage, Ayu came to the religious court hoping that Ayu could still save her marriage to Sham.
"Hopefully this mediation can bring you back to me Sham, for your reason must be strong and there is evidence" Ayu grumbled in the car to the religious court.
Ayu deliberately permits leave today to fulfill a summons from a religious court.
Arriving at the Syam parking lot asked Salma to wait in the car and Syam out of the car and walked into the religious court building with the purpose of mediation room.
"It seems Ayu has not come yet," Inner Syam sat in the waiting room of the mediation room.
5 minutes later Ayu came, immediately saw Salma sitting on the edge of the parking lot. Ayu parked her car right next to Syam's.
"Do I have to go through Salma I can come back with Sham?" gerutu Ayu before getting out of his car.
Ayu got out of the car and immediately got a welcome from Salma, making Ayu think again the brilliant idea to take the heart of Syam.
"Mama.." cried Salma ran over to Ayu and hugged Ayu tightly.
"Who's son?" ask Ayu.
"Papa had entered earlier ma," answered Salma taking off his embrace.
"Yes mama entered first yes, you wait here yes," said Ayu then went away Salma who was still standing near Ayu's car.
Ayu had seen Syam from a distance, sitting while playing with her cellphone, Ayu continued to walk towards Syam.
"Hi Sham," said Ayu sitting next to Sham.
"Yes" Sham replied briefly without wanting to see who greeted him.
"This is the answer, can't be soft with me. I want to apologize to you and Salma, I realize I was wrong and I was too selfish. I love you with all my heart and I'm too scared away from you anything else until parting ways with you, sorry. I beg you not to stay with me" said Ayu revealed the feeling in his heart.
Syam just silently heard the words of Ayu, as if not hear the words of Ayu until the mediation officers also call the names of Sham and Ayu.
Syam stood up from his seat and immediately walked into the room and was followed by Ayu.
Mediation was started, question after question was thrown at Syam and Ayu.
"I don't want to separate from my husband ma'am, I love my husband," said Ayu.
