The time has shown at ten o'clock in the evening, where some residents of the house have slept. Marchel was in a room where the CCTV monitor in the house was located. That night, he wanted to prove the words of the mother who accused Sheila of accidentally spilling oil in the kitchen until she finally fell.
He checked CCTV footage from various angles. Her hands clenched furiously looking at one by one the footage showed Sheila cleaning the fish pond and the garden behind the house. Marchel really didn't expect her mother to be able to do all that to Sheila. He blames himself for ignoring his wife, leaving a gap for Mom and Audry to hurt Sheila.
Marchel also checked CCTV footage that led to the kitchen. And finally, after a few minutes of checking, there was a recording of Audry accidentally spilling oil in the kitchen. Marchel was really infuriated by the behavior of the girl who deliberately slandered Sheila in order for the mother to hate her even more. The man then grabbed his phone and copied the CCTV footage.

Mother and Audry glanced at each other questioningly, why would Marchel ask Aunt Yum to wake them up in such a late night. They walked with each other pushing slowly, watching Marchel sitting on the sofa of the living room.
"What's up, Marchel?" ask mother.
Marchel glanced sharply at the two women in front of him. "Sit, Mom! Auntie Yum is also sitting down!" marchel. Mom, Audry and Aunt Yum were sitting on the sofa, facing Marchel. The man placed his phone on the table rudely, making mother and Audry again glance at each other. "Look at that, Mom!"
The middle-aged woman grabbed Marchel's cell phone and saw the video footage there. His eyes suddenly looked at the CCTV footage. He did not expect Audry to do all that. Looking at the tape, Audry could only look down in embarrassment. Scared that Marchel would throw him out of the house.
"Now you know who's the poison in this house, right?" Marchel glanced sharply at Audry.
"But this Marchel..."
"Don't try to defend her, Mom!" Marchel cut off the mother's conversation, then stood up from her seat, "Audry, how dare you do all this to my wife. Now I'm gonna have to pack your things and get the hell out of this house!" snapped Marchel. His screams echoed in the room.
Audry could not speak anymore. He could only stare at the middle-aged woman beside him with a parched face. As if asking for help. Mother stood up from her seat, trying to quell her son's anger.
"Ec ... Marcel ... Audry's wrong, but we don't have to throw him out, do we? I'm gonna ask her to apologize to Sheila."
"What's? Apologizing?" Marchel sighed harshly, "When I thought Sheila did it, I was so angry that I locked her in the barn. And now you know the truth but you're defending her? What do you mean by mother?" Marchel shouted back.
Like eating simalakama fruit, the mother is trapped in her own words. Defending Audry was wrong, yet he still rejected Sheila.
"Aunt Yum, help her pack her things right now."
Audry's face suddenly paled, his joints felt limp hearing Marchel's words. "Marchel I beg you to forgive me. I promise I won't repeat it. But please don't throw me out. Mom, please don't throw me out. I don't have anyone here." Audry whined at the middle-aged woman. However, Marchel looked increasingly growling.
"I don't want to know! Now you're out of this house. I don't want my wife to always be a victim of your crimes."
She sighed, trying to gather her courage. "Good! If you insist on expelling Audry from this house, then I'll go with Audry, too" she threatened to frustrate Marchel.
"Stop, Mom!"
"You choose Marchel, Audry stays in this house, or mother will go with him."
Marchel no longer knew how to deal with the woman who had brought her into that world. Several times, he sighed, a sign of trying to dampen his anger. He glanced at Aunt Yum who had been silent since hearing the debate.
"Good!" Marchel nodded furiously. It was impossible for her to let her go from home. "Then give her the same punishment as Sheila!"
"What?" It was as if the mother did not believe the words of her son. While Audry was already trembling, cold sweat started to drench his body.
"Mom...." Audry again whined with teary eyes.
"Marchel, but the barn was full of dust and..."
"Mom knows the barn is dusty and filthy, so why did you keep Sheila there?" Marchel raised her voice again, making both mother and Audry bow.
Aunt Yum smiled faintly, as if supporting Marchel. The woman was furious at the actions of Audry and the mother who locked Sheila there.
Marchel grabbed her mobile phone on the table and contacted some of the house guards who were in the post. After a while, two men finally arrived.
"Take him to the barn and lock up! No one can open the door until morning. Let him reflect on his mistake there!" marchel.
The two men pulled Audry's arm, even though the girl was trying to rebel. While she still tried to defend Audry.
"Marchel, at least don't do this. You can punish him in other ways."
"Enough, Mom!" his yell. "I've obeyed my mother's desire not to throw her out. So let him take the punishment for his actions. I don't want to hear you defend her anymore. Good night, Mom!" After saying that, Marchel left the mother, walking one step at a time towards her room.
Upon arrival in the room, Marchel approached the bed where Sheila was still asleep. He laid his body there and stared deeply at the innocent face of the little girl. There was a deep sense of guilt after seeing the entire CCTV footage. He kissed his wife and hugged her.
I'm sorry, Sheila. It's all my fault. From now on I won't let them hurt you like that again.
*****************************
Her morning...
Sheila woke up still in Marchel's arms. Marchel did not let go of his embrace last night so he could not move. The girl wriggled softly, making Marchel wake up from her sleep. The cold air that blew from the AC of the room made the two people feel at home coiled under the blanket. Marchel was reluctant to release Sheila who had been trying to release her hand that seemed to shackle her body.
"Sister Marchel... I want to get up" Sheila whispered as she tried to take off Marchel's hand. However, Marchel seemed to intentionally tighten her embrace.
The man opened his eyes slowly, then glanced at the clock stuck to the wall. "It's five in the morning, Sheila... What do you want to get up so early?"
"A school open this early? Let's go to sleep again!" Marchel buried Sheila's face in her chest, so that the little girl could inhale the scent of her husband's body which was very fragrant to her.
"But..."
"Sleep, or I'll kiss you again like last night" Marchel's threatening remark made Sheila widen her eyes. His face immediately turned red. And, despite the dim lighting of the room, Marchel could still see the redness of Sheila's face in shame.
The man also hid his grin. Inwardly laughing at Sheila's innocence. Even Marchel could feel the girl's heart beating faster than usual, as Sheila's body was completely attached to her.
By force, Sheila closed her eyes tightly, even though her sleepiness was gone. Until the smell of mint so fresh felt blowing on his face.
Marchel who was previously very cold, suddenly turned into a very nosy. The doctor was blowing on Sheila's face, so the blow made Sheila's lashes move funny. Sheila opened her eyes when she heard the small rascals from Marchel who deliberately pricked her.
Sheila pursed her lips, realizing the prank behavior of her husband. And I don't know why it looks so sexy to Marchel, plus Sheila's long, disheveled hair. True said the saying, which cat will refuse if in front of him there is food. That's what Marchel was to Sheila. He was a normal man who was alone with his wife.
Marchel again kissed Sheila's lips with anxiety, and occasionally gave a bite. The shocked Sheila just stared, without any response or reply. And, when Marchel took it off, the little girl's face flushed again, more than when Marchel teased her earlier.
"I-i... Go back to my room! Tigers bathe." said Sheila disjointed so nervous.
Marchel kissed Sheila's forehead fondly, then took off her hand which had been shackled by the wife's body.
"Take your clothes in your room, then take a bath here. From now on you will stay in this room with me" Marchel said before Sheila finally woke up and returned to her room with a reddened face.
"Why did she become so adorable?" muttered Marchel.

Sheila was neat in her school uniform when she came out of Marchel's room. In front was the mother who had been standing there since. Instantly, Sheila lowered her head realizing the sharp gaze of the woman who was like about to split her body into two parts.
"Good morning, Mom!" sheila held back her fear.
A moment later, Marchel appeared from behind the door, and immediately wrapped her hands around Sheila's waist. "Good morning, Mom!"
Mom was so shocked to see Marchel's treatment of Sheila turned 180. If Marchel had been cold yesterday, he was now showing concern for his wife.
"Marchel, it's morning. Give me the key to the warehouse. You've punished Audry enough."
Marchel went back into the room, took the keys to the warehouse and gave them to her.
"Come, we're going down!" marchel told Sheila. Then immediately down the stairs to the dining room.
While the mother who had not believed in her vision, was still frozen in front of the door. The middle-aged woman also regained her senses from her daydream, then rushed towards the warehouse to get Audry out.
******
The breakfast went on with silence between mother and juda Audry. The woman had just served her sentence of being locked up in a warehouse. All night he was scared because it was so dark in the barn.
There was no chatter from Audry and mom during the breakfast. The two men were still so scared given Marchel's anger last night when they locked Sheila in the barn. With only Marchel's words occasionally showing his concern for Sheila, he fed a loaf of bread to Sheila and then stuffed the rest of the pieces into her mouth. It makes Audry feel like he's burning with jealousy.
Marchel was deliberately showing her mother and Audry Sheila's status as his wife. While Sheila could only lower her head, feeling bad for Audry and the mother who had been staring at her since.
****
"You don't go home on the bus! I'll have the driver pick you up and take you to the hospital." Marchel confirmed Sheila's glasses, then gave a kiss on the forehead.
"Yes" Sheila replied briefly.
Marchel then took the wallet out of her pants pocket and gave Sheila a card. "Take this!" he said while offering a card.
"No need, brother. I don't need anything either. I'm not a prankster at school."
"Take it or I'll kiss you again!"
Sheila gaped in disbelief at the words of Marchel who now very threatening and tend to pervert. Sheila struggled to swallow her saliva, with her face flushed again for the umpteenth time. The girl grabbed the card that Marchel had given her, and put it in her shirt pocket.
"Thank you!"
"I'll send her to your number."
"Yes, Brother!" Hurriedly, Sheila got down from the car and accelerated her pace into the school gate. While Marchel was still at home staring at the back of the wife who had been away.
His eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw in the distance that Rayhan was directly approaching Sheila. Suddenly, the cold air in the car felt so hot for the man.
"He again. Why is he so happy to approach someone's wife?!" murmured Marchel held back his sense of regret.
Sheila and Rayhan had already disappeared from Marchel's sight, making the man immediately start the car engine and leave the place, heading for the hospital where he worked. Along the way, Marchel unceasingly grumbled in annoyance, cursing Rayhan who always approached Sheila.
