"Where are you going?" asked Laras when he met his mother on the porch of the house.
"Eh? Mama has a friend's appointment. Yes, same friend." Barrel looked suspiciously. He was sure that something was being hidden by his mother.
Laras chose to nod. He let the Goddess into the car and ran the car out of their residence. After that, Laras also hurriedly entered his car. He was following his car from behind.
Laras knitted his brows. She never knew that the Goddess had been here before. The circle of friendship his mother was on average he knew all. Their house is also as far as Laras is not on this road.
Dewi's car was seen pulled over near the road next to which there was a fairly shady tree. The barrel took a safe distance from the mother's car.
"Why would you stop here? He didn't get out of his car either." Laras muttered in wonder.
Not long after, Laras saw a car that felt familiar to him passing his car. The car turned into the high gate of the house in front of it.
"That's..Nathan's car, right? Am I wrong?" The barrel advancing face is getting closer to the windshield to ensure. Then his eyes glared at the sight of the two motors passing his car as well. "Yes, it's Nathan! That's, right, Neo and Daniel. So, is that Nathan's house?"
"If this is Nathan's house. Then, Mama, why are you here?" The barrel taps one of its index fingers over the forehead.
"God! The girl with Nathan at the restaurant. Can't she just stay here?" Laras immediately found the reason why his mother could be here. Nathan and two of his friends broke into the house. Then the girl was really there. Laras concludes, this is not Nathan's house. Rather, Sukma-son's house from the mother.
About two hours Laras stayed there. The girl looks bored. Nathan and two of his friends have not left the house. His mother, however, still seems to be there. Barrel decided to leave from there. He'll investigate this later.

Laras found Apin in the living room. The man seemed to have just finished his bath. Her hair still looks wet.
"Fuck!" call Baras.
"What?" ask Apin without looking. The man focused on staring at the TV that featured a comedic show, even though his face looked flat.
"You know something about Sukma?" Apin turned to his brother when he heard the question.
"What do you mean?"
"You know Sukma was related to a man named Nathan?"
Apin looked back at the TV screen. "I am familiar with Sukma. But I won't know all about him. You even know for yourself, I haven't had two years with him."
Laras looked at his suspicious sister. "You're not curious, are you?"
Apin snorted lazily. "How curious?" ask the man back.
"You're, right, just as he's close. Who knew it was her boyfriend?" fishing Barrel.
"That's none of my business. Besides, Sukma is my brother. If I see him later, I can protect him from behind. Because I realized, Sukma must also hate me because of Papa's behavior."
Laras sighed harshly. He didn't get any info from his brother. Laras went from there to his room with a sullen face.
On the other hand, Apin who was left behind sighed heavily. He was afraid that if misinformed about Sukma, Laras would come to the girl and force her to meet the Goddess. Apin knew Laras loved the Goddess very much. It could be that the girl brought Sukma by force so that the Goddess could be happy.

Hisham knocked on the windshield several times. While the Goddess, the woman gasped in shock when she heard her car window being knocked from outside. From behind the glass, he saw the face of the man who reported the case of the husband standing there. The woman gave a rough breath. She's busted.
The goddess had no choice but to open the glass. He forced a smile on Hisham.
"Mother Goddess! It's true my guess." The goddess heaved a heavy sigh when she heard Hisham's words.
"Can we talk?" said Dewi asking for time.he glanced at Hisham who was standing outside the car with his wife.
Hisham switched on Fifi first, asking for an opinion. Fifi gave a nod. "Near here is a restaurant. We'll talk there, before the kids know" Hisham said. The goddess was pleased. Hisham walked back to his car. He turned around to go to the restaurant he was referring to.
"I've been suspicious since the beginning, if the car that is always parked in a tree not far from my house is definitely the car of Miss Dewi." Hisham opened the conversation as they waited for the order to arrive.
The goddess lowered her head, she confessed wrongly. "sorry that I was impressed like a stalker."
Hisham nodded slowly. "I also know, Mr. Hisham must not have been suspicious from the start. Must have been Mr. Hisham investigating. Right, right?" guess Goddess.
"Yes. I'm just afraid that it's a stalker who could endanger one of my families" Hisham replied.
The goddess breathed a heavy breath. "Sir Hisham must have known, too, that I hired someone. Aye, right?"
Hisham returned to being honest.
The goddess looked towards Fifi. "You're a Mother. You must understand, right, what I'm feeling." Fifi chose silence. He was quite the listener of this poor woman in front of him alone.
"parted from childhood with my son. Years of searching, it turns out I was lied to by the people closest to me. Even crazier, he's my son's m3myiks4.
"I love Sukma very much. I would be lying if I said his presence between me and my husband was bad luck. My behavior used to be due to being squeezed economically and also mentally I have not been able to adapt."
"Economy and mental that has not adapted, still can not be used as a defense material for things you have done to Sukma. You who decided to take the path of marriage young.then, when blessed with children, instead blame his presence? Different stories if you are forced to undergo marriage.
"When you decide to get married even against your parents, don't you feel grown up? At that time, you must have felt ready for all the risks. Right, right?" Hisham cut the words of the Goddess. The man's emotions rose when the Goddess asked for a proclamation because it was difficult to adapt to the circumstances. It all happened already. However, Hisham's annoyance he could not control because of the words of the Goddess.
Fifi stroked the husband's arm to calm down. "Pa, don't be emotional." Fifi whispered the sentence in the husband's ear.
"I knew. Sorry, it's free. After all, if I am sorry, is it not the same that I regret the presence of Sukma for the umpteenth time?"
"My mistake with Sukma is hard to forgive. Creating a trauma on a child as small as he once was, and making him a different child, is my great sin. But, as a mother, there is still a side in me that wants Sukma to be able to accept all my apologies. I want my son to keep calling me Mother like a child in general. I just want to talk a lot and spend time with him, changing the time I once left." The eyes of the Goddess are glazed.
"I'm so sorry. That's why I'm trying to find him. But, it turns out my husband tricked me. He who promised to bring Sukma to me, turned out that he even more distanced Sukma from me."
"I understand how you feel." Fifi stared concernedly at the Goddess.
"But Ma'am, Sukma has just recovered from the trauma he suffered for many years. Among us, there is no prohibiting Mbak from meeting with Sukma. Only, Sukma himself refused. I'm sure he just needs time. Sukma was so soft his heart. It will soon be destroyed."
Fifi exhaled slowly. "I will try to help persuade Sukma."
