A storm of rage struck Nurul as he searched for something, anything to throw at Tommy. But Tommy moves to avoid Nurul's blow. “Quiet, Honey! Cool out! You are already rich people want to be executed just,” said Tommy.
The resistance suddenly stopped and Nurul threw his body into the chair while groaning. What would Mr Sudarsono say if he knew of Nurul's departure? How long will it take before he suspects Nurul has escaped? Then how long will it take Mr Sudarsono before deciding to take action?
“You do not know what you have done,” whispered Nurul sadly. Tommy squeezes Nurul's hand. “So tell me, baby. I promise, I will do whatever it takes to free you from Sudarsono's control,” Tommy said.
Nurul directed his gaze to look at Tommy, completely helpless as he hesitated between the urge to let go of his burden and the definite understanding that he could not do so.
If he told Tommy about all of Mr. Sudarsono's threats, there was no doubt that Tomy would rush back to Jakarta in anger and would bully Mr. Sudarsono with physical threats. What can be accomplished by doing that?
Mr. Sudarsono has one very strong piece of evidence against Nurul, and none of Tommy's fearsome threats can change that. Of course, Tommy's intervention will further encourage Mr. Sudarsono to realize his threat. There was nothing Tommy could do to stop him.
No matter how much influence Tommy had, he could not repeat the events that led to the death of Nurul's mother. Or bad luck that makes Mr. Sudarsono can control Nurul.
No matter how much Nurul wanted to tell Tommy, he still could not do it. The only way out for Nurul is to convince Tommy to return to Jakarta, or find another way to escape from Tommy.
The journey is in fact very long and they have to stop periodically. That was when Nurul was able to escape. If he can do it as soon as possible, he might even be able to arrive in Jakarta before too much chaos ensues.
Nurul looked at Tommy expectantly. In the meantime, he should be able to stop Tommy. “Nurul, Darling?” persuade Tommy. “Why don't you just tell me everything?” ask Tommy. “It's not important anymore now,” replied Nurul.
Tommy grimaces, seemingly convinced Nurul will finally tell the truth. “That's important to me, honey,” Tommy said.
“I will tell you, but not now,” Nurul said. “When?” ask Tommy.
What was Nurul supposed to say that would please Tommy for a while until he managed to escape? Suddenly came a clever thought. “I will tell you after we get married,” Nurul said.
Suspicion enveloped Tommy's gaze. “So you've changed your mind? You said you were going to marry me?” ask Tommy. Nurul actually doesn't like to lie to Tommy, especially about this issue, but he has no other choice. “Ya,” replied Nurul.
“Why?” ask Tommy.

Nurul fluttered his hands up with a gesture that showed helplessness. “I want to marry you?” nurul. Tommy is waiting for Nurul's answer. “Because you didn't give me another choice, you little bego! I'm practical enough to realize that I can't fight you. So, I will marry you,” Nurul said.
While Tommy still looks doubtful, Nurul added firmly, “Although you can't expect me to like him.” Tommy's lips tighten. “You don't have to make this look like a death sentence,” Tommy said. “Sorry yes, Tom. It's just that I think it will change my life dramatically,” Nurul said.
“Be better,” connect Tommy. After releasing Nurul's hand, Tommy leaned back into his chair. “Ga needs no reason to wait until we get married to make you tell me the truth, you know that,”.
It was painful for Nurul to see the hurt feelings on Tommy's face, especially now, when he didn't look like a noble at all. All her looks were tangled including her hair. But Nurul had no other choice.
“Please, Tommy,” Nurul said gently. “You have won. What does it mean if you wait a week or two to hear my sad story?” nurul. Tommy smiled with a forced smile, indicating he agreed.
Nurul sat back in his chair. Now he must figure out a way to escape from Tommy. First, he had to stop this car. Then, he must distract Tommy as much as possible in order to escape. The hardest part, he had to find transportation to Jakarta. How could he possibly manage that now at once?
Suddenly her stomach rang, giving Nurul an idea. “Do you want to starve me until we get to Rudi's place?” nurul.
“I didn't mean to starve us both,” Tommy said with a smile. “It looks like we can have breakfast at the nearest rest area,” said Tommy.
“How far?” nurul. Tommy asked the driver that, apparently they had to wait again because the rest area nearby had just passed earlier. Tommy also asked the driver to stop when he found the rest area later.
Nurul and Tommy stop at the rest area. They filled their stomachs, as did Mr. Yeyet. Tommy's surveillance left Nurul unable to think of escaping in the slightest. Even the toilet in the rest area had no gaps for him to quietly escape.
They also continued their journey. The further the distance they exceeded, Nurul did not also find the area that was touted as where Rudi lived. Why not go to Bogor? There are no signs that write Bogor.
It turns out Tommy took Nurul even further. Nor did they come to the resting place, which is not just for eating, Nurul suspected that their journey leads to the more eastern part of Java Island.

So long time has passed. Eventually their car came off the highway and stopped at a hotel. Nurul's insistence finally came to fruition. But Nurul does not want a hotel service, he wants a place with less security to escape.
Nurul refused the place. Tommy complies with Nurul's request. He asked his driver to find a simple inn, Nurul showed him the way, where it should be close to the causeway. He has an alibi not wanting to be confined in a boring place. A boring definition that is very abstract of course, but Tommy complies.
“Here,” says Nurul. “Come stop here,” he continued. Tommy gave a look of disdain to the inn courtyard. “Wah, my dear, you are very brave. In addition to contact with visitors who rarely shower, maybe you will also see a cockroach or two on your desk,” said Tommy.
“I don't care,” said Nurul while giving a defiant look to Tommy. “A future noble can't rent a private place for both of us?” nurul. “Private place for both... “ Tommy murmured. A calculating look flashed across Tommy's face. “OK, for you, darling,’ said Tommy.
As expected, the innkeeper was quite happy to fulfill their request. The man looked at Tommy with a non-cover-up admiration, his face so bright.
“My wife and I want the best room you have,” said Tommy. “Make sure my driver also gets his best place,”. Tommy then gave the extra money and then by looking at Nurul at a glance, he muttered something else into the innkeeper's ear.
The innkeeper's head nodded vigorously, Nurul thought that the head could have been detached from being too excited.
Nurul grabs Tommy's hand as he offers her his arm, trying not to get caught up in the fun he feels when he hears Tommy calling him his wife.
