"Agoist? Yep. I was selfish. I think you know better that God never demands a man to be faithful to one woman. But God requires a man to take responsibility for his woman.
I think you know better, that a woman will not be prosecuted in the afterlife, for her husband's actions. But a husband will be charged in the end for the deeds of his wife and child."
Syma was stunned to hear her husband's words. His eyes looked at him in confusion. Where did Mas Ersad know this? When did he learn about religion?
"Whatever you have in mind. I won't answer it now.
But you have to come with me now. I'll show you something." Ersad withdrew Syma's hand without waiting for her approval. And inevitably, Syma followed in her husband's footsteps.
Ersad took Syma to a hidden place. Where he kept all his secrets there. The room was so small and a little narrow.
Ersad threw some files in front of Syma. A sheet of paper that Syma herself did not know what it contained. Syma took it in doubt and looked at it one by one.
"Obsessive compulsive disorder? a precological disorder that affects humans,"
"Yes.
Nora has the disease. Because of his father's descent.
Nora has a disorder of an excessive obsession with whatever she wants. If something he can't get, then he will feel anxious, stressed and frustrated. And because of that, he can do anything. Including killing anyone who gets in his way."
"Ease?"
"Erika is not her brother. And even though Erika is a sibling. Nora will kill him. Because he wanted me.
After Erika's death. The next target is you."
"Where do you know all this?"
"Mia´s... "
"Mia?"
Ersad nodded as his answer. "I got Mia out of jail not without reason. All I did was to find out more information about Nora and her illness. His weaknesses.
And Mia knows everything, because they're pretty close to school. Mia even had time to say that Nora once liked her own teacher. Then because there was one of the students who became the proud child of the teacher. Nora bullied him until he died."
Syma closed her mouth, she was so shocked to hear that.
"What happened to the teacher?"
"The teacher reported Nora to the police. Because she was a minor, Nora could not be detained. But Nora was taken to a psychiatrist to be examined psychologist. And after a few years, Nora was declared to have recovered from her illness.
But Mia said that it was just Nora's wits to get out of there. And when he wanted to chase the teacher back, the teacher had already moved out of the country. So Nora's back to stress."
"So Nora accidentally killed Erika, just to scapegoat me?"
"From the beginning I knew you couldn't do it Syma. I purposely pretended not to trust you, for Nora to think she was successful in her goal.
I never married her. I manipulated everything. To make Nora think that she's really married to me." Ersad stopped his words, his eyes staring in the shade at the woman who was still filled with confusion on his face.
Ersad cupped both of Syma's cheeks and forcedly looked into her eyes. "Nora didn't plan all this alone, Syma. There was someone who had helped him until all the evidence even the cctv footage simply vanished. The plan went very smoothly.
Trust me, Syma....
I'm doing this for you. Your safety and Zea's at stake here. I don't want to take more dangerous risks than this. Be patient until Kevin manages to find the Doctor who helped Nora. If everything is obtained, then I will immediately punish the woman by imprisoning her. Just like he did to you back then."
Syma nodded. A smile should be etched on his face. And the guilt is clearly there. "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry I doubted you, Mom. I've been so bad thinking of you. I'm sorry," she said.
"It's okay.
I just hate seeing you with another guy. Especially that guy is Hariz. You know for yourself how the relationship between the two of us is. So, no more approaching that guy. He's no less dangerous than Nora."
Syma nodded. This time there was relief enveloping his heart. Her chest feels so big. Especially when Ersad hugged her possessively like this. For a long time, Syma did not feel the warm embrace of her husband.
Ersad occasionally kisses his forehead. Then down to both cheeks. To the last port, the lips. Ersad kissed her with tenderness. The warmth that creeps out seems to tickle him. Syma closed her eyes as if enjoying the touch.
Ersad let go of his kiss and looked at his wife's red face. His eyes seemed to ask permission for the wife to continue her activities more intimate. The wife who understood, nodded in shame. A sign of approval at her husband's request.
And finally they did a struggle in the secret room. The narrow room seemed to add passion between the two of them. Only the roars of breath and shameful groans filled the soundproof room. So that no one will be able to know what they've done in there.

"Hows it? Has the doctor met?"
"Sorry Sir. The doctor could not be found anywhere. I told my men to look for him. But the result is nothing."
"Dam...
Why is it so hard. Is there no hint?" Ersad almost groaned because it was so frustrating. He could not hold Nora any longer near him. That would put Syma and Zea in more danger.
Kevin nodded weakly.
"There's only one way.... " Ersad muttered softly. And that can still be heard by Kevin.
"What's that?"
"You don't need to know. Let me do it. Now get out" Ersad gestured for expulsion at Kevin.
Kevin nodded and left the room.

"Let's drink Nora. Don't you like drinks like this, let's toast to our wedding" Ersad said.
Of course Nora accepted it without feeling the slightest suspicion.
"Alright baby," Nora raised her glass and put it together with Ersad's glass. Then drink it slowly.
When it's over. Ersad kept adding and adding until Nora was completely drunk.
And it's true. Nora's body began to react. He looked staggering and started talking.
"What are you planning on doing Nora?"
"Haha.... What indeed? The darling? I just want you,"
"Why did you kill Erika?"
"Because I don't like him accepting that cheap woman. I was looking forward to the time when he died on his own. But because he wants to accept Syma. Killed him...
I have no other choice.
I love you so much, Mom. I wouldn't be able to live without you" Unexpectedly Nora let out her tears. Ersad himself was confused what tears were they? Why does he look sad.
"Why are you crying?"
"Although Brother Erika is not my brother. But I love him."
'Stupid...
Where there is a dear term by killing him.' Ersad. Not thinking of this woman's mind.
"Then where did you hide the doctor who helped you?"
