"I used to be a free se*ks. I have sex with my lover over and over again" murmured Athalla. However, his voice can still be heard by his parents.

Papi, especially Mami does not believe in Athalla's confession.As a thunderbolt in broad daylight both Athalla's parents heard his son's words.

Mami directly leaned her body on the back of the sofa. Feeling her chest tight. Just heard the cause of Fani's tragic death alone Mami had felt her chest tight, added Athalla's confession.

Papi immediately stood up and approached Athalla. No one expected the middle-aged man's hand to swing and slap Athalla's cheek violently.

"What did you say? You know that adultery is a great sin. adultery can destroy families. Zina is a bad disgrace that can turn a noble family into despicable. In return in the world, the person who worked on it would be known to be bad all the time. Not to mention the punishment of stoning or dera and so forth. Do you know that?" ask Papi with emotion.

"I know, Pi. For that I try and change. Ever since I left the forbidden medicine, I also left zina. Kania and I are trying new lives by changing for the better. However, Mami separated us," Athalla said slowly.

There was no look of anger from his face because of Papi who slapped him earlier. For Athalla, he deserves all that.

"You're a disgrace to the family. In the world, the perpetrator of adultery deserves the punishment of whipping 100 times (for those who have never been married) (QS an-Nur: 2) and exiled for a year (HR al-Bukhari). As for adulterers who are married or have never married but often fornicate are subject to stoning (stoned) to death. So severe was the punishment that it was a great sin."

After saying that, it appeared Papi was holding his chest and his face looked pale. Papi looks short of breath. Athalla and Mami who saw it immediately headed towards the sofa.

"Pi, don't be angry. Papi's heart disease can recur later. Take some medicine, Pi!" Mami gave a grain of medicine for Papi consumption.

"Mami believes Athalla never did that. She must have confessed so that Mami felt guilty for breaking up the relationship."

"Mommy wants to talk. We still have a lot to say. Wait here!"

Mami brings Papi into the room and helps Papi lie down. After enveloping Papi's body, then Mami came out.

"Mommy, where are you going?" ask Papi in a soft voice.

"Mommy still has to talk to Athalla. Mami should know the truth of her confession earlier. Is all that right or is it just to defend Kania."

Mami kissed Papi's forehead before coming out of their room. Mami wants to know, what caused her son to confess to an adulterer is also the same as Kania.

Mami approached Athalla who was still sitting waiting for her presence. This time she sat opposite her son.

"Tell me honestly, are you right to do it all or just lie to get Mami to bless your relationship!" My mom never spoke so loud at this time.

"I swear it's true, Mi. I now want to atone for all the sins of the past by becoming a better person."

"If that's true, take the woman you've taken her chastity to and marry her as soon as possible!"

Athalla was surprised to hear his mother's words. How could he marry a woman who had been snatched away by him. That means she has to marry Chika? To meet that woman alone Athalla would not want to marry her.
