Masalalu Prison
Initiation of Conflict

Since Ardan's return to Jakarta, she has spent her days in her room drawing pictures. I don't know, his mood became quiet. Although Ardan often contacted him via video connection, but still, he felt lonely. It was that man who now filled the bottom of his heart, that man was also the first to take everything from himself.

"Sir, is dinner ready?" said a new working woman in the villa.

"Yes, Miss Uyun, I'm going down!" sahut Arini from the room.

Arini went to the ground floor for dinner. "Buk Uyun, let's eat together!"

"No need, Ma'am," replied the woman named Uyun.

"No papa, Miss Uyun. Accompany me to eat, Rizky because he was camping," explained Arini.

The woman who was the same age as her mother's house was also sitting in the front seat of Arini. "Thank you, Miss Arini"

"Together, Mom. Don't eat here in the back!"

"Yes, Mother. Ma'am Arini, my cooking is not good?" ask Uyun. Since he had seen his master, he ate only a little.

"His son, Miss Uyun. It's really good, actually" replied Arini. He realized that he was less eager to eat.

"I don't eat well anymore, Mom," replied Arini again lethargicly.

"Suami Mbak Arini has not contacted Mbak, huh?"

"Not yet, Mom, since this morning"

"Maybe it's busy, Arini"

"Yes." Yeah." Arini stood up from her seat. "I'll go to the room first, Miss Uyun."

Around 2 am, Ardan had just arrived at his apartment. Almost every day he was overtime, usually he arrived at the apartment around 11 p.m. But this time, he came home too late at night. He has not contacted Arini.

Ardan also took the phone from his pocket, he intends to contact Arini. But he locked it up.

"Maybe he's asleep" murmured Ardan. He put his phone on the nightstand and went straight to the bathroom.

The morning had come, Ardan woke up. Somehow his sleep this time was not at all calm, probably because he had not contacted Arini.

The man looked for his cell phone and contacted Arini. Not long after, the video call was responded by Arini. The wife's face filled the screen of her phone.

"What are you doing?" ask Ardan.

"I'm not doing anything"

"You angry? Sorry, I didn't call you yesterday!"

"I'm not angry, I understand you're very busy. Take a shower, you'll be late! Don't forget to eat breakfast!"

"Thank you, you understand! I take a shower, will I call you later?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The video connection was cut off, Ardan immediately got out of bed and wanted to go to the bathroom, but the bell rang. He abandoned his intentions and turned to the door.

"That's why Mr. Park came so early" murmured Ardan.

The door was opened, he was a little surprised by someone who came to his apartment. What he thought was Mr. Park his assistant, turned out to be wrong, who appeared instead a woman dressed in black.

"Oma?" said Ardan.

"Good morning, Ar," said the woman and broke into Ardan's apartment.

"Oma, tumben's here, what's up?" ask Ardan.

"I also miss Oma." hugging the grandmother.

"I take a shower, Oma!" ardan.

A few minutes Ardan finished his bath and was also already wearing a navy suit. He also approached the grandmother who was in the living room.

"I took a long shower, huh, Oma?" ask Ardan while wearing a tie.

Maria approached Ardan, and helped him put on a tie.

"Are you going to keep going like this, Ardan?" ask Maria.

"meaning?" Ardan asked back.

"You need someone who can take care of things like this, your age is also enough to get married" she said.

"I'm not ready to go that way, Oma,"

"really?" ask Mary pretending not to know.

"How about we have breakfast at our favorite restaurant, Oma?" diverting conversations.

"Maybe, all of you Oma would like to talk about something." tidied up the grandson's suit

"Thank you, Oma. Let's go!"

This time, Ardan drove his own car with Maria to the restaurant. Previously, he had contacted Mr. Park not to pick him up.

Arriving at the restaurant, they went down and went straight into the restaurant. They sat at a table near the window and ordered food.

"You didn't leave with Mr. Park?" ask Maria.

"No, I told him to leave first" replied Ardan.

"Oh yeah, Oma want to talk about what?" ask Ardan.

Maria looked at her granddaughter, but her gaze turned to the ring on Ardan's ring finger.

"You're married?" ask Mary without further ado.

Ardan who got the surprising question was trying to find an excuse. But it seems that the Oma already knew. The man breathed his breath too.

"Yes, I'm married" replied Ardan honestly. It's free to lie, anyway... Maria probably already knew. In other words, the Oma has people telling him to. So, get any information he can get.

Maria grinned to get an honest answer from Ardan. "Hhmm.. Is that so?"

"I'm sure Oma already knows, don't you?" guess Ardan.

Their conversation came to a halt as the waiter delivered their ordered food.

"Feed your breakfast first!" said Maria diverted the conversation.

Ardan and Maria started their breakfast.

"Do you know a woman named Rahmi?" asked Ardan suddenly on the sidelines eating him.

Maria stopped her chewing, then looked at Ardan. "If you want to know everything, stay at Oma's house tonight!"

"Why not explain it here?" ask Ardan.

"It's too much to explain here" said Maria, and she continued eating.
