TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD

"Sweet child, we are Zero's foster parents. He can't stay here. Since it is our responsibility, Zero must be brought home," said Bu Han reassuring Sindi.
Sindi's eyebrows were shrunken, her facial aura clearly showing dislike towards Bu Han. Sindi did not care about their words, she continued to persuade Sinta not to let Zero go home.
"I'm sorry, this kid was just about to die on the spot from a fire, it was because of your carelessness. If we return Zero to you again, it would be like putting his life at risk." Sinta also tried to hold Zero.
"After all, you don't deserve to be Zero's foster parents. Feeding Zero you're not worth it. Look at her body so skinny. I'm sure Zero is severely malnourished. Do not lure Zero with your eggs alone, this little child must eat a lot of vegetables and fruits," said Sinta as she glanced at the eggs that Bu Han brought.
"Well, I promise I'll give him a decent meal. Yesterday we didn't have enough money. But look, now we have more money. So give this child back to us" said Ms. Han.
Bu Han is very cunning and clever. He did various ways for Zero to be brought home. Including threatening Sinta. "We are guilty. But it's not our fault. Miwa is the most guilty here for leaving Zero alone at home. Even though we have given him money as the cost of caring for Zero. If you want to lead, we can talk later with Miwa. I have to take Zero home now," said Ms. Han.
Sinta and Bu Han continued to argue. Sinta tries to keep Zero from being brought home. However, since he has no custody of Zero. Finally inevitably Zero he returns, on the condition that he will take it again if they harm Zero.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll be fine. Thank you for helping me and healing my wounds" Zero said before she left.
Sindi hugs her mother, she is very sad that Zero is leaving. Because that means he won't see and play with Zero again.
"Don't be sad, I promise I'll meet you and play with you again later. I have to go home to Sindi, where I am not here," Zero said trying to calm Sindi down.
Instead of answering, Sindi hid behind her mother's back. His eyes had started to tear up, he was trying to hold back the tears as his new friend was about to leave.
Shortly before Zero left, Sinta whispered in Zero's ear and wrote down the phone number on the inside of her shirt. Sinta also advised Zero to quickly contact them if there is anything with him later.
"Be careful Zero, the two of them are not good people. Quickly run away and call this number when in an emergency," said Sinta.
Zero nodded. After saying goodbye to Sindi, Zero led Bu Han out of the house.
"I still haven't been fired as Sindi's bodyguard, so I promise to come here again, Auntie. Look, my body is very strong, so don't worry about me," Zero said linking her little finger to Sinta's hand.
"Smart kid. Take care of yourself."
The thirty-year-old woman smiled as she stroked Zero's head. Sinta continued to seduce her daughter to stop crying when Zero had already walked away with Bu Han.
Elsewhere, Yuze is still searching for Zero's whereabouts. He was still standing in front of Miwa's house waiting for the arrival of Pak and Bu Han. Repeatedly he called Sembo asking where the husband and wife had gone, but Sembo replied he did not know.
Yuze did not run out of sense, he asked the neighbor. At that moment Yuze asked the person who was carrying Zero to the house of Sindi earlier. He says Zero almost fell victim to a fire because of Miwa's carelessness.
"So the boy almost died? Where is the kid? He is neither Miwa's son nor his brother. We are the original relatives of the boy. Please tell me, where is the house of the man who saved Zero? Can you take me there?" ask Yuze.
The neighbor was silent and glanced at Yuze's appearance. He knew Yuze was a rich man, he didn't want to give out information for free.
Yuze knew what the neighbor wanted. Unwilling to make any pleasantries, Yuze immediately offered a few pieces of money to the neighbor. In the end, Yuze is escorted to Sindi's house.
"Damn, where's the guy going?" bu Han asked her husband, they were forced to refrain from coming out of the alley, afraid to meet Yuze.
"It looks like he's about to head for Sinta's house. They think this kid is still in his house. We have to quickly take Zero away, before the man sees us," said Bu Han holding tightly onto Zero's wrist.
Zero had heard the chatter of the two. Zero begins to realize that they are not her foster parents, but that she has been kidnapped. Yang Zero thought, Yuze is a good person who will deliver to his original family.
"Uncle, who is that guy? Why is he looking for me?" ask Zero innocently.
"She seems like a bad person and seems like she's going to kidnap you again," Bu Han said provoking Zero.
However, Zero is not that easy to be fooled. Zero kept thinking, that he should meet the man even though his heart was doubtful.
"It doesn't seem like he wants to kidnap me, but it's my uncle and aunt who have kidnapped me" Zero said in a sharp tone.
"Zero! Whatchu mean? Watch what you say! If I kidnap you, it's impossible to leave you to Miwa."
"I can't believe it! I heard it myself that Auntie was going to sell me and extort the guy's money."
Suddenly Zero bit Bu Han's hand and ran away.
"Zero, don't go!" yelled Bu Han.
