Adrian called Gaza to his study. He wanted to have a serious conversation with his son.
"Do you know this?" Adrian shows a picture of Rain sleeping with Sean on his phone.
Gaza nodded, he did not expect that his papa also knew about it.
"Did mama know?"
"Hem." Adrian breathed a heavy sigh. This fact really affected his judgment about Rain. Beautiful and polite girl, the image suddenly disappeared from Rain.
"Not only your mama and papa know, but everyone's in this complex." Gaza was shocked to hear that. Right now all he was thinking about was Rain. The woman must have been embarrassed when her disgrace was known to many.
"You got this photo from Dini. You know who he is? He's our neighbor who works in the same place as Rain. Dini told her about this to her mother. And his mama has been stirring up this news all over the complex."
Everyone in the complex knows who Rain is. They were all invited to the engagement ceremony of Gaza and Rain which was held large in a hotel.
All because of Salma's request. He forced a big party during the engagement of Gaza and Rain.
"Papa did not dispute about the status of Mr. steadfast who is an inmate. But regarding this photo, papa could not accept. Our family will be the subject of a complex if you marry Rain. Not to mention if our family knows about this. Put where papa's face is. They must've laughed at our family who had an untrue daughter-in-law."
Gaza can understand the feelings of his papa. This is not easy, especially the papa is a respected person. Not only papa and his family, Rainpun certainly will not be easy to live life with him. Rain will always bear shame because everyone around him knows about his disgrace.
"Maybe you'll live quietly with Rain overseas like you planned. But our family will bear the shame here. Papa could be at home. But your mama, you know she likes to socialize. He can't always stay home. And when he's outside, he'll be gossip because he has a son-in-law like Rain."
Gaza just silently listened to all the words of his papa. He's in a dilemma. It was hard to part with Rain. But he also cannot be selfish to his family.
"I'm sure you know what the best Ga is. Every man wants to marry a good woman. Our wives are the ones who will give birth and educate our descendants. How can he educate well if he himself is not good."
In the heart of Gaza justified his papa's words. The reason she loved Rain was that besides she was beautiful, her behavior was also good. But now it was like seeing the other side of Rain. The woman he thought was good was not as good as he thought.
Seeing the photo, his family was very disappointed. How about they find out if Rain sells himself. There'll be no room for Rain to get into his family.
"And you also do not want that your child will share the shame because of the disgrace that his parents ever made. Too many people know about this. And one day, a little bit more will bring up this event."
Retreating is hard, but moving forward seems even harder.

"Udah don't chase Gaza. Do you shamelessly chase after the man who dumped you" Sean snapped as he pulled Rain's hand to keep from chasing Gaza.
"Delivery." Rain tries to throw Sean's hand but can't. "It's all because of you Sean. You're just the source of trouble in my life. I hate you."
Sean tried to remain patient hearing Rain wear it.
"Let's take me home." Sean pulled Rain into his car. For him right now it was impossible to leave Rain alone.
Rain kept crying in the car while cursing at Sean. His heart was so broken, his dream marriage that had been in front of his eyes was only a dream and would not come true.
"Don't cry, I'm dizzy."
Rain ignored Sean's words at all. All he thinks about right now is Gaza and his marriage being cancelled.
"Your phone sounds like it." Sean patted Rain on the shoulder as the woman continued to cry regardless of her phone that kept ringing. "Thank you, noisy know."
"------"
"What! Well I'll be there soon."
tut tut tut tut tut
Rain's face panicked. He held his head that felt like it was going to break.
"What's wrong?"
"My dad's in the hospital, please take me there."
A few minutes later, Sean's car arrived at a public hospital. Rain rushed to his father's hospital.
At the door was a policeman standing guard. After asking permission, Rain went in to see his father.
Rain could not bear to see his father's frail body lying on top of the hospital gurney.
"Dad." Sapa Rain was gentle when she was near her father. He opened his eyes when he heard Rain. "Dad's fine, right?" The warden called Rain and said Teguh had a heart attack and was taken to hospital.
Tears to see his beloved daughter. For a moment his mouth was stiff, unable to say a word.
Rain was worried to see his father cry. The frail body looked like it was harboring great sadness. Rain could not see his father crying, his tears slowly dripping.
"Leave Gaza son."

Rain was confused by his father's words. What does that saying mean. Though it was clear a few days ago when Rain and Gaza came to visit, Teguh looked very happy. Teguh also approved when Gaza asked for permission to marry Rain next month.
"Don't think it was dad. Just think about dad's health."
He shook his head, maybe he didn't think about his son's problems. For Teguh, his son is everything.
"Leave Gaza, you don't deserve him. I know everything." It turned out that Salma had met Teguh in prison this afternoon. He showed me a picture of Rain sleeping with a man.
Rain grew sobbing to hear that his father knew everything. You can imagine if the old man must have broken his heart.
"Gaza deserves a better woman than you. I'm disappointed in you, Rain. You're the daughter of a very proud father. But why are you acting out of bounds."
"I'm sorry Father Rain." Rain cried while kissing her father's hand many times.
"Dead dad saved your honor but why are you doing this? What is Rain? I know you must have a reason. I know you, son."
Rain could not answer. He couldn't have said the reason was money. His father would feel guilty if he knew the reason for Alan's medical expenses and his father's lawyer's fees.
"I'm sorry, Rain has let dad down."
"Why are you doing this, son?"
"Because we love each other." Sean suddenly said that. Rain and his father turned to Sean. They are both too carried away until they do not realize when Sean entered.
