Mommy Jessie was sitting next to Nesha who was stroking her stomach. He knew it would be hard for Nesha. Raising a child without a husband. Not to mention when later the son asked about his father. Mommy Jessie couldn't even imagine it.
"Tante is really amazed by you Nes. You want to conceive that child while the woman out there will definitely abort her because of the outcome of the relationship outside of marriage."
"Initially, I also intended to abort her Aunt, I even slashed my hand so that I would die. But apparently, God wants something else. I'm still alive. At that moment, I was sad when I saw my stomach. I want to try to drop it. But Renatta came and forbade me while crying and begging. I remember exactly what he said to me, Auntie."
Nesha remembers it and recites Renatta's words.
"Do not commit sins more. My brother sinned until he conceived the child. Do not make your sins accumulate by killing the innocent child. Brother will not face it alone. I will always accompany my sister. Please brother please .. hiks .. hiks ..."
Mommy Jessie who heard it unconsciously shed her tears. He still listened to Nesha tell him stories.
"Then I decided to keep it. Renatta really took care of me, took care of my physical and mental to the point of allowing himself to always be hurt. I feel like a burden to his life. Feel useless. What kind of brother always depends on his sister."
Mommy Jessie grabbed Nesha's hand and stroked her.
"You may consider yourself a burden. But Renatta didn't, because you were the only family he had at the time. Her father is not near her, only you are by her side. Until you really leave. Renatta might fall. He chose the wounded over his own family. Sacrifice like this does sound stupid, but it shows how much she has a kind heart and genuine affection even though you are only her half-brother. So, Auntie hope you can live your life also happily. Don't mind the words of others who scorn you. Because they don't know what you really are."
Nesha cries and listens to Mommy Jessie. Mommy Jessie hugged Nesha and patted her back softly.
"If there's anything, you can call Auntie."
"Thank you Auntie. Thank you also because Aunt has received Renatta to enter the family Aunt. Even though Auntie knows for herself how bad our family is. Papa's an ex-con, I'm pregnant out of wedlock, and Renatta's the bad guy. I'm really grateful Auntie. Please love Renatta sincerely. Because all this time my mother never loved him sincerely. I really wanted to see Renatta smiling happily without any burden being carried. Enough sacrifice all this time. Me and papa can live happily, if you see Renatta happy."
Mommy Jessie nodded as she shed her tears. He is not feeling sorry and concerned for their family life, but rather amazed because even though their circumstances are like that, but they love each other. Renatta is also a strong woman he meets. It was only fitting that when he first met, he immediately liked Renatta without any conditions. Apparently, Renatta is really the other woman is very good. Regardless of its past ugliness.
"Yes, Auntie will obey all your words. Because Auntie loved him. He managed to make Regan change too."
"Thank you Auntie."

At a restaurant, Ozy and Regan make an appointment with the director of the Pacific Group to work together. There they chatted a lot and enjoyed the food.
Regan starts chatting about one of their employees who is in prison and has now been released.
"I really did not expect, if in the past in your company, there was corruption. I just got this information the last few days. He said that man is free now. Can you guarantee that in your company there is no corruption anymore? Because I don't want my company to be polluted because now we're going to work together."
"About Mr. Regan, we've done a thorough inspection of all our employees. No one would ever do anything like that again. So you don't have to worry" said Pak Eko, director of the Pacific Group.
"Oh, like that, great. I can calm down now" said Regan who was relieved. In his heart he could not wait to put this man in prison. Because of him, his father Renatta is in prison for a crime he never committed.
"But I heard, actually the person is innocent, he is just being slandered. How do you think Mr Eko? Do you believe he's guilty or deliberately blamed?" regan said to provoke a little annoyance Mr. Eko.
The look on Mr. Eko's face changed immediately. The old man looked uncomfortable with the question posed by Regan.
"Em, it looks like this matter is over. Looks like we don't have to talk about it anymore. We will discuss the cooperation that will be done. After all, it's all been handled by the police properly. How could the police possibly have wrongly arrested people, right?"
Regan smiled thinly.
"You are absolutely right, sir. But sometimes, even a policeman can be bribed to hide the truth. You know for yourself how power comes to power."
Mr. Eko feels bad air around Regan and Ozy. Although Ozy had only been quiet since then. But why does the atmosphere seem gripping?
"You know what I mean, money can solve everything. It could be that the person is just being slandered to hide who the real corruptor is. Ah, I really can't wait for the news in a moment," said Regan who even made Pak Eko more confused.
"What news?" ask Mr. Eko.
"You'll know for yourself!" he said with a smile full of question marks.
But somehow Mr. Eko so no appetite because continue to wonder the news that will happen. Moreover, Regan's attitude that looks mysterious makes him a little wary.
It is known that the director returned to Jakarta, because Regan intended to work together. That's why he's willing to come back. Even if he knew that his return was only to make himself languish in prison, of course he would never do.
The meal is over. Regan invites, Mr. Eko to just one car with him. While Mr. Eko's own car can be carried by the driver. Mr. Eko did not refuse that because he thought on the way later Regan would definitely talk about their cooperation. However, what he thought, did not match the reality.
Since he was in Regan's car, he just kept quiet and Regan did not ask him to talk. After speaking, he was surprised.
"You must be curious about the news what happened, right? I'll show it. I hope your heart is still safe."
Regan shows the news that has now begun to rise to the surface.
Mr. Eko's eyes were round in disbelief with everything. His name, mentioned in the news for corruption and defamation cases Dewangga, their former manager. He immediately looked towards Regan with a hostile look again.
"What does all this mean?" ask Mr. Eko.
"Basar old bangka! Still asking what does it mean? You can read it yourself, right? Time should I read it! How ogah!"
Mr. Eko ruffled his hair in frustration. He asked Regan again.
"Where are we going?"
"Where else is the police station going?"
Regan's answer made Mr. Eko so panicked and tried to get out of the car door. But apparently the door was locked and Mr. Eko could not go anywhere.
"Already sir, don't act too much! It's old! Should've been repentant! You should also apologize to the Lord you slandered. Do I not know? Hmh! You duitan eyes!"
Mr. Eko is emotional and grips the collar of Regan's shirt. Ozy who saw that immediately panicked. But Regan asks him to stay calm and drive well.
"My father's strength is very much the difference Sir. I don't want to think of a child who doesn't have manners towards parents. So you better sit still and do not rebel," said Regan while holding the grip of Mr. Eko's hand and pull the tie to tie Mr. Eko's hand.
"This is better sir" said Regan with a smile.
Mr. Eko still continues to rebel, but Regan who already has a lot of preparation even tie the two shoelaces Pak Eko to connect. So Mr. Eko will not be able to walk properly later.
"God knows yes, Mr. God is my future father-in-law. So I want his name cleared of all charges. Tasty, the culprit lives a luxurious and contented life while the innocent suffer instead. And so, be prepared sir. Oh, yes I forgot, all the father's assets have also been confiscated by the police."
Mr. Eko's eyes were round again.
"Just calm down, about your wife and child. They are safe in the hospital. Just a shock."
Regan says it calmly. While Mr. Eko keeps trying to rebel, but he can't do anything.
Send them at the police station. Regan lifted the windshield and talked to a policeman.
"I've done my job, now you're the one doing it. Please also the police who have been bribed by him. Don't let him live quietly after throwing the wrong person away."
"Good Mr. Regan."
Mr. Eko was removed from the car and taken by two police officers. Regan breathed a sigh of relief now, one by one the problems he had solved properly.
