With a determination, Jasmine finally found Hendra. Previously, he had confirmed that Hendra was not in the hospital, it means Hendra was at a halfway house. Well, the halfway house, the house founded by Hendra for – abandoned children, ah more precisely street children.
Only Jasmine knew that, Stive had not known that at all. Hendra deliberately took street children for him to train and make a spear to attack Stive. After traveling less than two hours, Jasmine has now arrived at a house that is quite far from the crowd.
When he came, he was greeted by several men who opened his gate. Jasmine was only silent and indifferent in response to their smile, because Jasmine already knew the meaning of that smile.
“Papa where?” jasmine asked the point when one of the men approached her.
“Mr Hendra is in the back, what do I want between?” clean it gently.
“Ah no need, I can myself.” Jasmine replied then she was about to leave, but her hand was even choked by the man earlier.
“Bay, freelanin.” Said Jasmine staring intently at the man named Bayu.
“Why do you rarely come here? Your attitude is getting more formal with me? And why do you want to meet Mr Hendra? What's up?” ask her consecutively.
“Oh come on Bay, he's my papa. Why if I want to meet her? And for my attitude? I was like this a long time ago,” replied Jasmine.
“No, you're not the usual Jasmine. Why Jas?”
“Bay, I hunted –. Please freelance,” pinta Jasmine slow and soft.
“You haven't even given me the answer to my question just yet.”
Jasmine immediately moved and left, while Bayu was still staring at her with a difficult gaze. Three years he waited for an answer from Jasmine about his feelings. And now he got an unsatisfactory answer to her.
‘Have you found another man better than me?’ muttered Bayu inwardly while clenching both his hands tightly.

“Papa,” call Jasmine when you see Hendra feeding the fish in the back pond.
“Wah, see who this is coming?” said Hendra with a cynical smile.
“Papa, why is Papa still doing this? Can't Papa stop? Didn't Brother Marko tell Papa to stop?” ask Jasmine to the point.
“Did you come just to tell me to stop?” hendra asked, frowning, and he felt even more disappointed by Jasmine's arrival.
“Pah, Jasmine dear same Papa. Jasmine doesn't want anything to happen to papa,”
“Hahahaha, indeed, what would happen to me? Remember Jasmine, papa did this for the both of you. So, if you can't help Papa, just shut up and go.” Said Hendra with a flat face.
‘You should go to college abroad instead of staying in the place of your enemy, ckck, troublesome.” Hendra continued to grumble as he entered his house. While Jasmine was just silent and lowered her head, shadow after shadow of the past kept ringing in her head.
