As Marchel dissolves in her guilt, on the other hand Sheila dissolves in her grief. Since that night, Marchel and Sheila have been separated. Even Marchel was impressed to avoid his wife. Guilt made her feel embarrassed even just to come face to face with Sheila. Therefore, Marchel decided to leave for a while under the pretext of being a volunteer medical personnel in a very distant area.
That morning a somber sobbing echoed in a room where Sheila was weeping over her destiny. Marchel was about to leave that morning leaving a burden that had been squeezing his chest lately.
"Sheila..." Marchel's voice broke the silence. The man crouched down in front of Sheila who was sitting on the lip of the bed.
"Sister Marchel..." Sheila raised her head, looking at Marchel with her tears flowing.
"I'm sorry. I have to go for a while. But I promise I'll be back as soon as things get back to normal there." Marchel rubbed the long hair of the little girl who was his wife.
Sheila did not reply, just a sobbing for the sake of a sobbing that continued to sound. Sometimes the girl rubbed her tears that just fell.
"Don't cry anymore! Look at your eyes already puffy because you keep crying."
"I'm just going to go home. I don't want to live here!" lirih Sheila's.
"Who will take care of you in that house?" Marchel clasped Sheila's hand. "don't be afraid! Aunt Yum will take care of you in this house."
"Then, I'd like to join Mr. Marchel..."
"There's a plague, Sheila... It's not a safe place for you. I'm there to help people anyway. Please understand." Marchel rubbed Sheila's hair. "You still have the card I gave you back then, right? Use it for your needs."
"I don't want that! I'm going with Brother Marchel!" Sheila continued to cry, making Marchel pull the small body and hug her.
"I'm sorry. I will never leave you. I'm only gone for a while. Once it's done, I'll come back to you. I promise," Marchel said, rubbing Sheila's back.
Yeah, just for a while. Until I can forget that sinful night. I'm guilty of you, Sheila... And also to the girl. I have committed a great sin by ruining the future of that girl. I don't even know whose name and where the girl is. Inner Marchel.
Marchel took off the thick glasses Sheila was wearing, then wiped away the tears that ran down the girl's tyrannical face. "Now stop crying. Once I get back, everything will be fine. I'm sorry, if you feel like I've been ignoring you all this time."
Marchel was still hugging Sheila. Not a single word was spoken from the lips of the innocent girl. All he knows is pain. After Shanum's departure, Marchel left him in a house that was like hell for him.
I don't know what will happen to Sheila at the house after Marchel's departure. One thing the girl believed. Mom and Audry are going to torture him again.

"Is everything ready?" marchel asked a driver who would take him to the airport. The middle-aged man replied with a nod, while stuffing the last suitcase into the trunk of the car.
I still can't believe her son's decision to leave. However, a part of his heart felt quite happy. Marchel's departure will make it easier for her to get rid of the Sheila geeky from her life.
"Mom, please be nice to Sheila. Don't keep scolding her" Marchel told her mother.
Mother just nodded slowly. But deep down he refused.
Marchel then stared intently at the figure of the beautiful girl standing behind the mother, a pretty intimidating look that frightened Audry, before finally saying goodbye to Aunt Yum.
"Auntie, I'll take Sheila. Please take care of him while I'm gone. Report to me whatever happened to him. And don't let mom or Audry hurt her."
The middle-aged woman rubbed her tears. "Go back as soon as things get better there. Poor Sheila, she must be very sad about your departure. He won't even watch you go."
After saying goodbye, Marchel waved her hand at the window, before finally getting into the car.
Meanwhile, Sheila, just crying and crying lamenting the departure of her husband. It feels so painful. When a loved one chooses to leave. Disappointed, sad and hateful as if they were together.
I want to go, but where? Sheila had no one to turn to. Now, the only place to lean is only Aunt Yum.

Sheila was still lying on her bed lamenting the departure of her husband. Occasionally the rest of the sobs were still heard, with pale faces and puffy eyes.
It had been several hours after Marchel's departure, but Sheila was still silent in the room.
"Sheila!!!" There was the sound of a loud cry of mother calling from outside the room, breaking the girl's daydream.
Sheila wiped the remaining tears streaming down her face, before rising from the bed towards the source of the sound.
"W-What's up, Mom?" Sheila was so afraid of the woman she became.
"Quick you clean up the back garden. Be aware that there is still rubbish scattered. I'll punish you!"
Aunt Yum who was in the kitchen heard the voice of the big madam, rushing out towards the living room.
"What's up, Madam?" ask Aunt Yum.
Mother glanced at Aunt Yum with an unwelcome look. "Don't interfere, Auntie! Go back to the kitchen!"
"Sorry, Madam... Marchel left Sheila to me before she left. Marchel would be angry if she found out that she treated his wife like this."
"Are you threatening me? Aunt, it seems like it's time you retired. You've been fighting me too much lately." Mother stared intently at Sheila and Aunt Yum alternately.
Sheila was shocked to hear her in-laws. The fear returned. If Aunt Yum was to be retired, there would definitely be no one to defend her in that house. Only Aunt Yum was the only worker in the house who dared to go against the orders of the big madam and defend the poor girl.
"Ask the others to help you pack your things, Auntie! It's time for you to rest. You're gonna get the benefits you deserve for decades of service in this house."
"You fired me, madam?"
"Not fired! Irested you. Because I feel like you can't work very well anymore. It's my decision. So accept!"
Aunt Yum glanced at Sheila with a sad feeling. However, the middle-aged woman was unable to do anything. Now, the only thing that can be done, is just contact Marchel.
What would happen to me if Auntie Yum left? inner Sheila.
