Amar didn't mean to hurt Lily, because Amar also had a younger sister. He just pretended as if he was torturing Lily and it was done with Lily's and her parents' consent. They themselves were very distrustful when they saw the video of Erick torturing Maryam so vile that even Erick had stripped Maryam's clothes and was about to do his depraved actions. That, makes the mother very devastated, what else after knowing the origin of the family Maryam. They were ashamed of Erick's actions.
Amar is desperate to make Erick pay the price for what he's done, and Amar also wants Erick to testify that Erick and Maryam have nothing to do with him, that Maryam is indeed trapped and Maryam is still holy. Maryam is still untarnished. The good name of Maryam's extended family must be cleared immediately.
On the other hand, Amar was also very angry. And he wanted to make Erick feel what the Maryam family felt, to make Erick understand how hard it was for them when their daughter was stained.
And the prank went well. Even Lily who was hysterically screaming rendered Erick helpless. Though Amar did not slap Lily, he just touched his hand on Lily's cheek and Lily with her own dropping.
Amar also did not pull Lily's hair, she just held her and Lily screamed as if in pain. Amar did tear off Lily's pajamas but Lily was wearing another shirt inside.
It was all just to torture Erick.

Erick yells looking for both his parents and Lily in every corner of their house. But there was no sign of them at home, no matter where Amar took his family.
Erick regretted going too far, but Erick did not tarnish Degazi's future wife.
At that time, Erick who did not receive a lecture at length by Maryam, did strangle Maryam even make the girl almost fainted, but of course Erick did not want to enjoy the body of the person who again fainted. Erick immediately stripped Maryam's clothes that had almost lost consciousness, but when he wanted to do his evil action, the smart watch Maryam wore shook.
Erick only realized that Maryam was wearing a versatile watch, but Erick had thrown away Maryam's phone so it could not be tracked. But it could be, Maryam tracked through that watch. Erick took off the watch and was about to destroy it. But the familiar number on the small screen caught his attention.
"Lilly?" Erick couldn't believe how Lily might contact Maryam. With hesitation and a feeling of rage, Erick shifted the green button on the small screen and instantly heard his sister's exasperated voice.
"Hello, Sister Angel. Lily's sister got an A+ in Physics Lily's assignment. Thank you, Brother. Udah help Lily ngerjain task at that time, for this lifetime first time Lily can value A+ in the maple Physics, usually can B was already happy. If you get C, Lily's pocket money is reduced. Hehe"
Erick's head was hit by something very big hearing his brother's long chatter from across the phone and his sister sounded very happy.
Angel's sister?
So the Angel sister Lily's been telling you about is Maryam?
What Lily always said was beautiful, nice and sholehah. Who gave Lily a job and helped with Lily's schoolwork?
"Geez, what I've done" Erick walked straight out of the bed and fell limp on the floor. Staring at Maryam who had fainted with terrible conditions in the middle of the bed.
"Sister, Sister Angel Denger Lily? Hola.. Sis.." sounded like his sister's voice was eager to talk to her sister Angel "*Sister, Lily had called her number one, but was not active. Good thing Angel sister also love this number"
"Why is Angel's sister silent?"
"Hello, Sister Angel why*?"
Erick was angry, angry at himself. How could he hurt someone as good as Maryam. Erick didn't know what to do now, he immediately ended the call and re-circled the smart watch on Maryam's wrist with a trembling hand.
As he was about to cover Maryam's body, he heard someone in front of his room and the door handle turning once.
Quickly, Erick went out through the window, then closed the window again and hid on the side of the balcony with a hanging.
Erick peeked inside, and he saw a man come over and directly covered Maryam's body with a blanket, hugging Maryam and crying hysterically. Erick knew it was Sarfaraz Yusuf, his older sister Maryam.
And Erick remembered Lily. If Lily had been treated like that, she would have reacted the same way.
And the words of Maryam who continued to warn Erick not to harass him, continued to ring in Erick's mind. Maryam had warned many times that Erick must have had a mother even though he had no sisters and the karma of his conversation could have befallen his sister.
But the truth is, Erick also has a younger brother. The sister who always helps Maryam, so often her help, her sister to call her Angel.

Asma's family was devastated to see Maryam's condition, they came a long way to witness Maryam's marriage, to pray for her to live a new life. Not to be a witness to the suffering of their beloved girl.
Firda even cried to see what condition Maryam had on her face. And Rafa too. She is sad and angry, her sister has been treated so badly and Rafa cannot accept that. For 20 years of Maryam's life, none of them had ever slapped Maryam, but a stranger from nowhere tortured her so.
"Abi, Maryam wants to talk" said Maryam Lirih. Currently, only Abi accompanied her, while Faraz drove his grandparents, aunt and cousin to his house.
"What are you talking about, honey?" ask Bilal gently. Tonight was supposed to be her marriage contract.
"Maryam won't get married. Just cancel the wedding"
Bilal was very surprised to hear his daughter's decision.
"But Baby..."
"Maryam please, Bi. Mariam... Maryam is involved... Hiks hyks.." and Maryam again cried imagining the tragedy that had happened to her.
"I don't care..."
I don't know since when Amar was standing in the doorway and now he's walking closer to Maryam. Maryam could only cry and did not dare to raise her face.
"Maryam, nothing happened, I've got proof of that, honey. Nothing happened to you" exclaimed Amar hoping it made Maryam calm. Maryam stared unconfusedly at Amar as well as Bilal.
"What evidence? The results of the visa have not come out" said Bilal.
"Evidence that Maryam did experience physical violence but not sexual violence. I've found the perpetrators, I have solid evidence to get them to break in jail"
"You sure? What's the evidence?"
"Om don't think about it, the important thing is there is strong evidence that Maryam is not stained and also not cheating, she is trapped" said Amar trying not to tell the evidence. Amar did intend not to show the video footage to anyone from the Maryam family. Because Amar knew they wouldn't be able to see that horrible thing.
While Maryam was still in disbelief, faintly she remembered the moment the man stripped her clothes, and after that he fainted, then upon awakening again, when he woke up again, Maryam was wrapped in a blanket and was in the arms of her sister.
But if that is true, Maryam is very grateful if indeed God still keeps her chastity. But what if Amar just wanted to comfort Maryam? Now the result of the visa is Maryam's last hope to find out what really happened.
"And I also want to talk, Om" continued Amar "It should be tonight our marriage contract"
"But under these circumstances...."
"I don't want to get married" continued Maryam cut her father's words.
"Why?" amar asked gently and he stepped closer to Maryam "You're afraid of me because I have enemies?" her shrewd. And Maryam couldn't answer.
He was afraid, if he was still the wife of Amar, he had become an easy target for Amar's enemies, then what if he really became Amar's wife?
And he also did not want to get married, because Maryam felt that she was tainted and inappropriate for any man.
"Don't make a decision in a situation like, Maryam" said her father "And you, Amar. Under these circumstances, everything must be delayed. The police will come and ask for information from Maryam, this case must be brought to court. And there's still so much to go through" Bilal said languidly. He stroked his daughter's bruised cheek.
"My daughter went through a terrible thing, made her psychologically shaken, and we needed time at least to calm down a little bit"
"Maryam will get his justice, Om. The case will continue until the offender is in the law. But I just want to always be there for Mary, I want to justify it for me"
"I can't" said Maryam, and at once her tears could not be held again "I don't want to get married, cancel our marriage. Please" ask Maryam.
"Why? I want to know the reason why you want our marriage annulled, Maryam?"
"I don't deserve you, I've.." Mary's breath choked and she couldn't continue.
"I don't care" said Amar "Whatever happens to you, I don't care. I still love you, and you will always be precious to me. And believe me, nothing happened to you"
Maryam came back crying and she was confused now what to do. Maryam herself still can not accept this bad thing, but everything has happened.
"Give my daughter time, Amar" asked her father.
Amar nodded slowly, indeed he should not impose his will.
"Alright, but remember Maryam, I love you, I love you so much. I'll always be there for you, I'll fight for justice for you, and I'll be waiting for you to get back ready to marry me"
