At the house of Mrs. Imelda's…
There was a knock on the door of the room. A beautiful girl was sitting in front of the mirror brushing her hair.
“Log in!” said it.
Mrs. Imelda opened the door and saw Arum, her new-found daughter sitting in front of the mirror.
“You're still getting ready?” ask Ny. Imelda, walking up to Arum and standing behind him, picked up her comb and continued to comb her hair.
“We will pay a visit to his house Ny.Inez, you will meet Jack, he has returned from Paris,” said Ny. Imelda.
Arum did not answer, just looked at his face in the mirror. In his mind he doesn't really remember how close he is to Jack.
“You've seen your photos as a child. Do you remember who Jack is now?” ask Ny. Imelda.
“Entah ma'am, I don't remember anyone in my past, I only know my foster parents on the beach,” replied Arum.
“There's something you need to know about Jack,” Ny said. Imelda.
“What mother mean?” ask Arum.
“Ny. Inez and Mr. Ferdi needs your help to separate Jack from his wife,” replied Mrs. Imelda.
Arum looked at his mother in the mirror.
“What's the reason?” ask Arum.
“Jack's wife was mean to Jack. He takes advantage of Jack's depressed condition to dredge up Jack's fortune. Ms.Inez believes the woman must have an affair outside and not really love Jack, his wife will definitely leave Jack if the goal has been achieved,” replied Ny. Imelda, still combing Arum's hair.
“What is so right?” asked Arum again, he looked confused.
“True. Jack is very rich, the inheritance from his father who is noble in France is very much,” replied Mrs.Imelda.
Arum was silent not speaking.
“So they ask you to do something,” said Ny. Imelda.
“Do what?” ask Arum.
“You are his little friend Jack, you are very dear to Jack, you should be able to make Jack leave the woman,” replied Ny. Imelda.
“What if Jack does like his wife, so they get married,” Arum said.
“Jack is depressed, he does not know what love means, they just met and he immediately proposed to her by giving the woman a luxurious house and jewelry one suitcase, he said, from there it can be seen that Jack is crazy!” said Ny. Imelda.
“So mother meant I had to make Jack leave his wife?” ask Arum.
“It is like that. I know Jack caused you to drown that time. But let's forget the past, you've also returned to this house. Moreover, Jack has been depressed for a long time, do not have the heart if he is used by his wife,” said Ny. Imelda.
“Iya pity also Jack, already depressed now utilized by his wife,” muttered Arum.
“Eat him, you want ya near Jack. He's handsome, rich again, you met him at the cafe the other day. Yes even though he is depressed, who knows because meeting you Jack is cured and you can marry him,” said Ny. Imelda, keep instigating Arum.
Arum seemed to be thinking hard.
“For Jack's sake, baby, that Jack loved you so much when you were little. You guys are very compatible. If you still do not remember, later after meeting Jack will gradually remember,” said Ms. Imelda.
“But I don't want to marry a depressed man, even though he's my friend,” Arum lamented.
“But Jack is rich, very rich. Don't you want to live well? All this time you've been living on the beach with your adoptive parents who are just as anonymous. Mother alone cannot bear to imagine you live in deprivation,” said Ms. Imelda, while turning her body Arum faced her, then hugged her.
“Can I make Jack leave that woman?” ask Arum.
“Of course you can, you are very beautiful,” exclaimed Mrs.Imelda, now holding her hand Arum.
“And most importantly, you loved Jack first, many opportunities for you to get Jack, hopefully he will recover, then you marry him you no longer have a depressed husband, you no longer have a depressed husband,” said Mrs.Imelda encouraging.
“Ya actually pity Jack too if used by the woman,” muttered Arum.
“Mother sure, the woman must have an affair outside, just look later also will definitely be revealed,” said Ny. Imelda again.
Arum did not answer anymore, he just looked at his mother.
“You are getting ready, soon we will go to meet Jack,” said Mrs. Imelda.
Arumpun.
After her mother exited her room, Arum looked pondering. It's a pity that Jack who is depressed is used by his wife. It's true, how could Jack know love if he's depressed? Jack must have been just as good when he married his wife.
Arumpun hurriedly finished his dress.

Ara agitatedly kept pacing back and forth in her room, the pain in her legs was not felt. Soon Jack will meet Arum, will Jack's heart turn to Arum?
Ara stopped in front of the mirror looking at her. Her memory drifted to Arum whom she met at Ny.Imelda's house. Arum is very beautiful, he is afraid Jack is captivated by Arum.
Ara looked back at her face in the mirror. Having a handsome and rich husband is very heavy, the feeling of anxiety always appears, the feeling of the husband will be tempted by other women continues to exist, because naturally, women must also like the figure of a handsome man like her husband. Especially if the women are more beautiful and seductive than him. Ara's heart was getting restless just thinking about it.
His hands Ara held her belly as well as her waist, since marrying Jack, her body seemed to be somewhat larger, not as slim as it used to be. His cheeks also looked fuller.
So busy measuring his body, he did not hear the sound of the door being opened and Jack had entered the room, looking at his wife who was glazed in front of the mirror.
Jack was amazed at what his wife was doing. He also walked up to Ara who was surprised when he knew in front of the mirror was not alone anymore but there was Jack beside him.
“You surprised me,” said Ara.
Jack did not reply, instead looking at him still with a look of wonder.
Ara looked at Jack.
“Since I married you, I just realized that I'm getting fat, you see my cheeks? Looks like my cheeks are puffed up,” said Ara while holding her cheek, then turned to the mirror again.
Jack was surprised, what happened to his wife?
“That guy must love a woman who has a nice body. I've asked you to invite me ngegym but you didn't invite me too,” complained Ara.
“Gym?” ask Jack.
“Iya,” Ara replied.
“Beauty,” says Jack.
“What? Beauitiful? You mean who? Me? I'm no prettier than Arum,” said Ara keceplosan.
Only then did Jack understand now, it turns out that his wife was agitated because she was going to meet with Arum. Actually he wanted to laugh but in the end, he was still not honest about his recovery to Ara.
Ara looked at Jack.
“Alright I confess, I am worried about Arum's arrival,” said Ara.
“I'm afraid you like Arum, that Arum we met at the cafe, you've seen it, that's Arum. She is very beautiful,” continued Ara, then looked down lethargic.
Seeing his wife's attitude increasingly makes Jack amused, what is this? His wife is jealous? Arum is just his little friend and his wife is jealous?
“I don't like you meeting Arum, I'm afraid you're interested in Arum, because after all you love Arum, right?” ara said, raising her face to look at Jack.
The man did not reply, only staring at the pretty face in front of him. Who says his wife is not beautiful? He wants to be treated to women as beautiful as any international model though, loved is his only wife.
Jack paused for a moment, then brought his face closer to Ara, who just held his breath, whether Jack would kiss her again. His body suddenly tense.
Jack drew his face closer, but as it turned out past Ara's lips, he whispered into Ara's ears instead.
“You are beautiful, the prettiest,” said Jack.
Words that make Ara's heart flowery. A smile immediately expands on his lips. And that smile instantly disappeared as a kiss landed on his cheek. A sweet kiss from Jack.
Aah Jack, if you want depression, depression if you want to heal, you drive me crazy! You're depressed but very sweet, Ara's inner, moaning in the heart.
Tok Tok Tok! There was a knock on the door.
“Who is it,” said Ara, walked a little limped towards the door and opened it. Beni sir is already there.
“Ny. Imelda and Arum have arrived,” said Mr. Beni.
Ara turned to Jack who was also staring at Beni Sir who was staring at Jack.
“Jack, Arum is here,” Ara said to Jack.
Jack did not answer, he walked towards the door. Suddenly Ara grabbed Jack's hand, making the man turn his head towards him.
“I will accompany you,” said Ara.
Jack fell silent and glanced at Ara's feet.
“My legs are good, I can walk alone,” said Ara.
Suddenly Jack crouched down, making Ara surprised.
“You'll carry me again?” asked Ara, her face immediately red and turned to Pak Beni who just sat down pretending not to see.
Ara smiled again and went up to Jack's siege. He was being held by Jack.
The man stood up again while supporting his wife's body on his back. Glanced at a glance at Mr. Beni then walked out of the room followed by Mr. Beni.
