“This is not what you thought, Kamala,” Karen quickly wiped her tears, and walked over to Kamala. “Thank you for coming to visit my mother,” he said, trying to put on a smile that looked bitter in Kamala's eyes.
Karen didn't want to hear or see Kamala's reaction. He hurriedly ran away, away from Ray and Kamala who were further breaking his heart. Undeniably, his heart was broken when he saw Ray with Kamala.
“Karen!” ray shouted, asking Karen to stop running.
But just as he was about to chase, Kamala swiftly restrained Ray's arm. Inevitably, Ray must stop chasing Karen.
Karen thinks, after their marriage is canceled, Ray will no longer be in touch with Kamala. But reality seems to cut him. Kamala is back in her life, as Ray's companion.

At the same time, but in a different location, Petrina sat tensely in front of Martin wearing a prisoner uniform. Without looking into the man's eyes, Petrina thrust out a divorce document.
Martin read one word at a time engraved there, and then looked into Petrina's eyes.
“What is this?” ask Martin. “It's only been a month we got married, and you want a divorce?”
Petrina breathed. “You certainly know, the purpose of me marrying you,” Petrina pulled back the document. “I want to maintain my family's reputation–” Petrina deliberately stopped her speech, to absorb the power around her to face Martin. “And I guess, by continuing to survive, it will only make my family tarnished,”
“I've expected ... “ Martin closed his eyes, not surprised. “Please do whatever you want,”
Petrina smiled faintly. “Do not worry. If I'm proven pregnant, I'll hand it over to you and your wife,”
“No need,” sambar Martin. “I'm quite happy living with Karen. No need for kids,”
“Alright,” Petrina nodded. “But I think, you need offspring to maintain your status. Unless you want to compete with Diego Willis,”
Martin's ears stood when he heard the foreign name. But without asking, he already knew the answer. Diego Willis, must be the name of Sierra's son.
“But Martin–” Petrina straightened her body. Martin looked on with pity. “Are you sure Karen will stay with you?”
Martin remained silent. His gaze was pushy down, completely directionless. To be honest, he himself did not know the answer to Petrina's question either.
After learning the fact that it was Karen who reported it, Martin wasn't sure if Karen would continue to stay with him.
Petrina gulped, upon seeing Martin's heartbreaking reaction. A Martin who used to live a luxurious life, full of power and charm, now must be languishing in prison alone and lonely. Martin is now helpless, and only expects the helping hand of those who are willing to help him.
“I just hope, hope you guys keep together. Although short, but I am happy to be in touch with you,” said Petrina, before leaving Martin who continued to be silent.
He did not forget to look back, to make sure Martin had moved away. But until his step was at the end of the exit, Martin remained seated in his position with a gambled look.
Petrina closed her eyes, unable to see Martin's condition.

“Sierra? What are you doing here?” reprimand Karen, as Sierra stands at the door of her apartment.
Sierra smiled, without answering. Karen hastily opened the door for Sierra.
While entering the apartment, Sierra quietly glanced at Karen. She saw a puffy face and red eyes that looked very clear if Karen had just cried.
“How is Paul's condition?” karen asked, after serving a glass of drink in front of Sierra.
“She's better. Although still often delirious to call Martin,” replied Sierra.
Karen nodded. He sat beside Sierra, but did not dare to look directly into Sierra's eyes.
“Petrina asks for divorce,” Sierra toilet suddenly.
Sierra glanced at Karen, very curious about what the woman was thinking.
“Karen?” call Sierra, because she seems to be avoiding Sierra's gaze. Even Sierra held Karen's hand. “What's up?” tanyakanya.
Karen nodded quickly. “I'm just–” She wiped the rest of her tears. “Just met my mom,”
Sierra folded his lips, looking silently thinking. Silence enveloped the two of them in tens of minutes.
Sierra's never liked Karen, ever since she got into Martin's life. For Sierra, Karen is nothing more than a beautiful woman who ruined the lives of Martin and Ray.
But Sierra– as an ordinary man certainly has a point of sympathy in his heart. Seeing Karen struggling alone against Martin and Sophie, Sierra inevitably became concerned.
“You sure know–” Sierra take a deep breath. “I love Martin,” he said without a hitch. “Even until now,”
Karen just glanced at Sierra, not feeling surprised.
“But if I have to choose, I certainly choose that you continue to be next to Martin,” I am Sierra. “Because it's just you, which he has right now,”
“I can't, Sierra,” muttered Karen.
“Compared Ray, Martin is the unluckiest in this life,” Sierra starts to open a conversation. “Although Ray once had you cast out, Ray still has a family and a woman who loves him very much,”
Sierra sipped his drink. “While Martin, he doesn't have anything. Long time ago. All he's got is money,”
Sierra sighed. “I hate him, for playing with my feelings. But I can't stand to see it like this time,” I'm Sierra, looking at Karen sadly.
“You should have stayed by his side, but why marry his father instead?” sue Karen.
Sierra shakes. “It's not that easy,” he said. “While I love her, but she loves you,” Sierra leaned her body towards Karen. “I cannot force him to love me, even though I have given all of mine to him,”
Karen smiled bitterly. “But he has taken me from Ray,”
“Iya. You're right,” Sierra nodded. “Martin is inexcusable. His deeds have been very barbaric,” racau Sierra, more to himself.
Then Sierra stood up. He took a breath, feeling the tension quite intense even though their conversation was only brief.
“I'm sorry, for forcing you to stick with Martin,” Sierra said. “You are the one most entitled to determine your life, Karen. See you at the conference tomorrow,” Sierra smiled knot, and left Karen's apartment.
“Sierra,” call Karen.
Sierra looked back.
“Whether in the trial later, I reserve the right to demand Martin or–” Karen stop, lip bite. “Refort my report?”
Sierra smiled once more. “If you want to go ahead, I will prepare all the evidence. Because I was the only witness to the kidnapping,”
Karen once again bit her lips, looking doubtful.
“Does that mean, I can be free from Martin's restraints? Can you even get divorced from him?”
Sierra nodded. “Anything. Are you ready to go back with Ray?” ask her with a big smile.
Karen's eyeballs grow when Sierra calls Ray's name. With two clenched hands, Karen smiled.
“I will decide the best,” the answer is steady.
