After hanging up the phone call from Adibrata, Bagas drove his car at high speed. He felt annoyed, because his freedom felt constrained by the Papa. Perhaps this was his mistake because from the beginning he did not have a strong stand against the shackles that Adibrata had planted since he was a child.
Adibrata wants to be the perfect boy and boy. In addition to a handsome face, a brilliant brain, a well-established career and of course having a life companion a respectable woman from a clear lineage of families who have an economic status equivalent to the family of Adibrata Mahesa.
Everyone dreams of such a perfect thing. But, one's heart cannot be forced to choose who to fall in love with. Like Bagas. before knowing Indhira, he likes to change partners, because he has a handsome face and many beautiful women who like it.
Initially, Bagas did not feel that Indhira was very special. At that age, he considered that Indhira was like other girls that he could easily date. However, that feeling changed since the event occurred, even until the spread of the viral video. Especially since he lost track of Indhira, until news of Indhira being sold by his Om. Feelings of guilt, regret wrapped with a longing that eventually shackled him during the last eight years in addition to shackles from the power of Adibrata. In fact, since then, Bagas seems difficult to fall in love again with a woman, even though the woman is more perfect than Indhira.
Bagas got out of his car and rushed to the elevator which would take him to the floor where his study was located.
" Have my Papa been here, Esther?" asked Bagas when he arrived in front of his room to the secretary.
" right, Sir. Mr. Adibrata left about ten minutes ago" Esther said.
" What did my dad say?" ask Bagas back.
" Sir Adibrata just asked where Bagas went" replied Esther. " Mr. Adibrata has spoken more with Mr. Zaenal, sir," he continued.
" Oh, yeah." Bagas turned to his deputy's room, then entered his study.

Indhira just finished cleaning his body after returning from work. Although his body felt tired, but he could not immediately rest because he realized that he was living in someone else's house. As much as possible he should be able to carry himself.
" How's your new job, Ra? Can you do that job well?" ask Ms. Lidya, when Indhira was in Aunt Sandra's room.
" Thank God I can handle Tan." said Indhira.
" Thank God you can handle your job well, Ra" said Ms. Lidya. " Who did you come home with?" ask Lidya's mother later.
" I was on an online motorcycle, Tan. Ojek online Bu Kia subscription," replied Indhira later.
" Why don't you just take your bike, Ra? Make it more economical to spend if you bring your own vehicle." Lidya's mother advised Indhira to use her own vehicle as when Indhira worked in a cafe. If the morning shift, Indhira departs by motorbike, but if the evening shift, he uses an online motorcycle when leaving because he will be escorted home from the cafe.
" In the morning I have to go to Bu Kia's house first. Later go to the boutique with Bu Kia riding in a car, Tan. Meanwhile, if you go home directly here, bother to come home to Bu Kia first to grab a motorbike there, Tan." Indhira felt troubled if he had to use his own vehicle to leave and go home from work.
" Therefore, Kak Indi find a girlfriend so that someone can pick up Kak Indi, dong!" dhika's chirps were in Aunt Sandra's room.
" Hush, little boy talking boyfriend-girlfriend!" reprimand Mother Lidya to her father.
" Look at your son, Sandra! New first class Junior High School already knows to say dating!" Lidya's mother seemed to complain about Dhika's attitude which she considered too mature before her time.
" Dhika'kan already Junior High, Bude. Not a kid anymore!" tepis Dhika chuckles as she walks out of her Mama's room.
" Dhika's words have a point too, you know, Ra!It's time you opened your heart to accept a man to be your companion." Lidya's mother alluded to the companion of life for Indhira.
" You are twenty-six years old. You have to start thinking about your future, Ra. You can't keep hiding behind your past. It's time for you to reach your happiness, meet the man you love and love you sincerely, then step into the fold, Ra!"
Indhira was speechless and bowed to Mother Lidya's words. He is always restless if touched on the issue of companion life.
" San, try to get well soon! Then advise your firstborn!" Lidya's mother complained to Aunt Sandra. However, this time it was Indhira who he stirred up to Aunt Sandra.
Indhira remained silent. He was not prejudiced by guessing if Ms. Lidya objected to him being in the house. However, Mama Rissa's words still made her mind unsettled, as if she was chased by a target to get married, while she herself still could not overcome the trauma of being in a relationship with a man.
" Aunty's glad you're here. Can accompany Aunt and Sandra. But, Auntie is happier if you can find happiness for your own future. Auntie and Sandra already consider you like our own son. And the happiness of parents is to see their children happily married." Lidya's mother expressed her desire to see Indhira happy.
" Aunty hopes that, by working with your boss' wife, she can make you more confident." Seeing the strong character of Azkia Ibu Lidya hopes Azkia can pass it on to Indhira, so that Indhira can be more confident.

Bagas got out of the car and approached Azkia's house. He hoped that this time he could meet with Azkia, because the security guard this time was not the security that was on guard this morning.
" Excuse me, Sir. Are Mr Raffasya and Mrs Azkia home?" This time Bagas called Raffasya's name so as not to be accused of wanting to pursue people's wives.
" I'm sorry, with whom, huh?" asked Mr. Dudung, the security guard who was on guard at night approached the gate.
" I Bagas, Sir. I'd like to meet Kia's mother, because Kia's mother is a friend of the person I've been looking for these eight years, sir." Bagas explained that the security would open the door for him.
" Oh, for a second, I told the people inside that used to be, huh, Mas!?" Mr. Dudung went back to the post to notify the person inside Raffasya's house.
While in the house ...
Azkia and Raffasya just finished eating dinner and enjoying a relaxing time while chatting and joking with their children in the family home.
" Mama, Dede the baby's just a rich girl Alma huh, Ma? Let Alma have a friend later" said Almasyiffa, the second child of Azkia and Raffasya while struggling spoiled at the feet of Mama.
" Mama's belly isn't big yet, honey. So the baby's sister hasn't seen a girl or a boy." Azkia stroked the eight-year-old boy's head. She remembers her childhood, when she felt the same way as her daughter. When he was bullied for not having a sister, he whined to ask his mother to give him a sister.
" But the baby's sister's a girl, isn't she, Ma? My mom's belly looks big!?" ask Alma back.
" If Alma wants her baby sister to be a girl, Alma must pray with God, that she may be loved by her sister." Azkia imitated what Papa Mama had said when she was a child.
" I'm sorry, Ma'am Kia, said Mr. Dudung, there are people looking for Mbak Kia and Mas Raffa outside." On the sidelines of the Raffasya family discussion, Uni delivered news about guests who came looking for Azkia.
" guests? Whose guest, Miss Uni?" azkia asked frowned, especially now that time has shown eight o'clock at night.
" Said, claiming to be named Bagas, Mbak Kata Pak Dudung, the person said there was a need to meet with Mbak Kia," said Uni as he glanced at Raffasya who immediately swerved towards his wife.
" Bagas? Whose bag, Ma'am?" Feeling no acquaintance named Bagas, Azkia asked Uni.
" The Union does not know, Ma'am," replied the Union again.
" What's it gonna take these nights looking for someone's wife?" Raffasya who was playing with Zehan immediately stood up and walked towards the screen connected to the cctv at the gate of his house.
Raffasya hurried to leave the family room.
" Uni ma'am, pick up the kids!" Seeing her husband with wide strides leaving the family room, Azkia immediately followed. But before that he left his son first to the Union.
" Send him in, Mr. Dudung!" shouted Raffasya gave orders to Mr. Dudung to open the gate. After that he went back in waiting for Bagas to enter his house.
" Papa tell him to come in?" azkia asked when she found out her husband had let Bagas into their house.
" Papa wants to know, who is the man who dared to look for my wife until he came to this house!" A sharp eye stared at the wife.
" Papa didn't accuse Mama of cheating, did he?" Gaining a sharp spotlight on her husband, Azkia suspects her husband has thoughts if he is cheating on her with another man.
" Mom is not cheating, but it does not rule out the possibility of making other men like Mama!" The words spoken by Raffasya smelled of jealousy.
" It's a risk Papa has a beautiful wife like me, Pa!" Azkia rubbed the husband's shoulder. She tried to suppress the jealousy that began to linger in her husband's heart. " But, Mama's unfortunately just the same Papa, not the same other," continued Azkia.
" Excuse me, Sir, Ma. This is a guest who wants to see you and Mom."
While Azkia was calming her husband, Pak Dudung entered the guest room along with Bagas.
Raffasya and Azkia immediately looked at a man in perlente style and looked charming. From the appearance, both Raffasya and Azkia judged that the man was not an ordinary man. Especially Azkia who immediately frowned because she felt that she had seen that handsome man before.
" Good night, Mr. Raffasya, Mr. Azkia. Introduce me Bagas." Bagas introduced himself to the couple before him at this time.
" What need did you come here to find my wife?" asked Raffasya in a tinge.
" Send me to sit down, Pa!" Unlike her husband, Azkia was warmer.
" Let's sit down, please." Even Azkia invited Bagas to sit on the sofa. Of course this made Raffasya grunt violently.
" Thank you, Mom." Bagas then sat on the sofa after being invited by Azkia.
Azkia also sat down, while Raffasya was still standing with his hands ruffled by his waist.
" Pa, sit down, dong! There's a guest, it's rude to walk around like that!" Azkia pulled the tip of the t-shirt worn by her husband, so Raffasya sat down next to Azkia and immediately wrapped his hand on the wife's shoulder.
Bagas noticed Raffasya who was looking at him unfriendly. She could guess what the husband of Azkia had in mind.
Bagas pulled the corner of his thin lips. It is only natural that Raffasya is jealous of her, because Raffasya's wife is very beautiful.
" Oh yeah, what's the need for Mas to come here looking for me?" ask Azkia later.
" Hmmm, look, Mom. I mean, I came here because I wanted to find someone you might know. Because yesterday I saw Mom with someone I've been looking for all this time." Bagas began to explain the intent of his arrival to the house.
" Just go straight to the core goal! Don't be so long-winded!" Raffasya still speaks tightly to Bagas, especially according to him Bagas is not to the point on his goal to meet Azkia.
" Pa ...!" Azkia reprimanded the husband who still looks less warm to welcome his guests.
" Papa, Brother Naufal nakalin Zehan!" From inside the family room there was the sound of Zehan's scream followed by the appearance of the little boy running towards Raffasya. The conversation between Azkia and Bagas was interrupted.
" Zehan was naughty first, really, Pa!" naufal shouted in defense from inside the room.
" I'm sorry, Sir. I just came here to find information about the person who was with Kia's mother yesterday at Sunda's restaurant." Bagas made his words clear. " What was the woman who was with Kia's mother yesterday named Indhira Kusumaningrum?"
Azkia and Raffasya both gasped as Bagas mentioned Indhira's name. Even the couple looked at each other.
" What are you looking for Indhira for?! And what is your relationship with Indhira?!" The tone of Raffasya ketus did not also recede even though Bagas' arrival to the house was not because the young man liked his wife. Especially with Indhira. Because since yesterday's incident, Bagas looks more protective of Indhira.
" I, I'm an old friend of Indhira, sir. I have been looking for Indhira for a long time. Yesterday when I had lunch at the Sunda restaurant, I saw Indhira with Ms. Kia. That's why I came here." Bagas again explained the reason for looking for Azkia.
Bagas' explanation made Raffasya and Azkia think hard. Bagas said he was looking for Indhira to get to his house. Where did Bagas come from about his wife and their home.
" Where did you find this house?" ask Raffasya suspiciously.
" I'm sorry, Sir. I told people to investigate the owner of the car that Kia's mother used while taking Indhira away from the restaurant." Honestly Bagas said where he got the information about Azkia's home address.
" Who are you really? And why look for Indhira?!" Knowing that the man in front of him is not a random person until finding out their home address from his wife's car number plate, making Raffasya increasingly suspect Bagas.
" A minute, what was your name?" Azkia tried to remember the name Bagas, because she had time to find out from Adam the figure of Indhira's former lover. Because Adam said that Indhira's ex-lover was the son of a respected man.
" I'm Bagas, Mom. The Bagaspati Mahesa." Bagas again mentioned his name.
" Mahesa's Bagaspati?" Azkia's forehead wrinkled trying to remember. " You? Are you Indhira's ex-lover?" Finally Azkia remembered Bagas' name was a former lover of Indhira who was involved in the viral video.
Bagas gasped as Azkia recognized herself as Indhira's former lover. Bagas thought, maybe Indhira told Azkia about her.
" right, Mom. I was in a relationship with Indhira when I was in High School." Bagas told me honestly who he was.
" So you're the breng sek man who's been tarnishing Indhira until the video is spread!?" Raffasya looks furious knowing the man in front of him is currently the one who has made Indhira suffer. Raffasya got up and handed Zehan to Azkia, then walked over to Bagas.
