Alawiyah is in a dispute with the general and his lawyer. Evita's son chose recklessly to ask for his rights as a father of the child in Salimah's birth.
"Sorry Mr. General, please return to read the agreement letter that my father and client agreed to." Alawiyah tried to contain her anger when she heard that the general was going to appeal.
The general was silent, he knew exactly what the letter contained. But he could not ignore the feelings of his wife who desperately wanted Salimah's son.
He did not care if he had to be hated by his mother even Salimah. Her love for Triya made her dark-eyed.
Even the general was willing to use the money left over to hire expensive lawyers who he thought were capable of fighting the Alawites.
The lawyer who was hired by the General then took the open map.
The man read carefully the letter of agreement between the General and also his second ex-wife.
The lawyer nodded his head. There is no blame indeed for his client suing. But he never gave up. Everyone who came to his law firm would get a win, he thought.
"This is Bu Alawiyah. Indeed there it is clearly stated if my client can not sue the child at a later date—" his wedges.
Alawiyah tried to calm down, getting a longer opponent dabbling in the legal world obviously made him a little worried.
Moreover, Alawiyah knew very well how the law firm where the lawyer General worked always managed to win, even in a sneaky way.
"But to take care of their children. Of course Miss Salimah can't ignore that, can she? Mr. General has an equally large portion in caring for their children, although maybe only occasionally," he continued.
Alawiyah smiled, knowing the tactics used by the lawyer who hired the general.
The man wanted to make it look as if the General was doing his duty as a father by asking occasionally to look after Salimah's children later.
They will re-create a foul scheme that may eventually make Salimah lose custody of her child later.
"The Father General was indeed given the right by my clients to meet their children. Remember one thing sir, there's already a point there. Just meet, not to nurture and bring," explained Alawiyah calmly.
"I understand Mom. But we see the situation. Salimah's sister was a single mother. I have no partner and no worker. Was Alawiyah's mother convinced that Salimah's sister would be able to look after her two children?"
"Think again, don't be selfish Ma'am, Bu Triya won't have any more children. They won't take custody of your child later. Please be wiser. The term they should all be working with each other to keep and give love to the child later," persuaded the lawyer General.
Alawiyah was very upset with the persistence of the lawyer General. But he will not give up, because he believes all is just their strategy.
"Sorry Mr. Dirga, we stick to our decision. We've all written in full in the letter of agreement that even they strongly agreed at that time."
"It wasn't me who was pushy, even we had a video that recorded all of our conversations. So I think our meeting ends here, just" said Alawiyah, rising to his feet.
The general got up, he felt he would fail in persuading the two, because the facts were not on his side.
"Are you not sorry for Triya Al?" ask the General to stop Alawiyah's move.
Alawiyah stopped her steps then turned around and stared cynically at her best friend's ex-husband.
"How many times have we reminded you, you better see for yourself how proud your wife was in rejecting your child!" alawiyah replied and left the two of them.
The general sat down with a lunglai, next to him the lawyer, trying to encourage.
"So calm father, our firm will do everything possible so that we can win" said Dirga calmly.
The general gasped, he looked at the lawyer confused, between happy but also worried.
He did go to the law firm where Dirga worked on the recommendation of colleagues and superiors in the office.
They don't know the case he's going to face. But his colleagues are encouraging anything will definitely be won by the law firm where Dirga works.
His memory returns to the state of the wife who until now is still moody. Even Doctor Setyo advises her to go to a psychiatrist to help restore Triya's mental health due to the loss of their child.
"I beg his help Mr. Dirga," said the General sure.
.

He only sent a message when he came back. He was sure Salimah must have been anxious to think about their meeting earlier.
To make his best friend's mind calm, Alwiyah only told him that after work he would explain everything.
Ting.
Notification of the message from Salimah made Alawiyah immediately open it.
[How did Al go? Was bad?]
Salimah's heart was not calm. The woman who was pregnant with the second child was very emotional.
Whatever he thinks will make his feelings worse. Moreover, these few days he was covered in anxiety because of the request of the General who wanted to meet him.
[Sal, there are me and colleagues in our firm who will always defend your rights. Don't think about anything, relax, pity your child will feel stressed later]
Salimah who read messages from her best friend and lawyer suddenly felt guilty for her baby.
Some time lately also decreased appetite due to stress. Salimah felt she did not deserve to be a mother.
"I'm sorry, dear Mama" said Salimah as she rubbed her stomach.

After they returned home from work, Salimah immediately attacked Alawiyah regarding the girl's meeting with her ex-husband.
"How is Al, does the General stick to his decision? If he wants to fight over our son's custody?"
"That's not their purpose. They just ask to be given the same portion as you, nurturing and giving love to each other," replied Alawiyah laughed.
Salimah breathed a sigh of relief, she then smiled which made Alawiyah even frowned in wonder.
"you look relieved? Shit on me first, Sal, don't play with me!" alawiyah grouse who saw the innocence of his best friend.
"What is Al? If you just want to meet to give affection, don't papa Al. At least my son will not lose the figure of his father," replied Salimah confused.
"Jeez Salimah ... Salimah oon is just as plain as any other thin!" alawiyah.
"Why are you saying I'm stupid Al?" salimah replied he did not accept.
"Emang! You don't know what I said? the main core of General Triya wants to be given a chance to ngasuh your son too!"
"Wait on! How's ngasuh? So they're rich asking for rations that make my son stay with them?" answer Salimah who just understood the meaning of the word Alawiyah.
"Ho'oh, my God, I just understood him."
"But no ah Al, if they come home to my son's nose may be, but if in their care, do not want me, long can they hope to take care of my son forever. Not just Al!"
"Eat him, but I want to tell you something important too. You should be careful from now on—"
"What the hell is Al, what a horror gini. Are they calling me that?" cut Salimah waswas.
