"Alifa, you believe in Mama, right?" Mary repeated her question to get certainty.
However, Alifa remained unmoved. He spoke only a thousand languages and looked straight at his mother.
Then Alifa let go of the hand that was linked to Matria. For now, Alifa does not know who to believe. Both her mother and father blamed each other.
Alifa took a deep breath. He decided to meet Steve.
So Alifa and Hamzah hurried away from the Cafe without conversing with Maria. However, as soon as he got to the office, Steve was conducting an important meeting that could not be pushed back.
Alifa let out a disappointed breath. So he sent a message to his father that he wanted to do a DNA test.
Alifa did so as to dispel all doubts in her as well as in Steve's heart.
"Fa, where are we going after this?" Hamzah asked while driving the car.
Occasionally Hamzah glanced at Alifa who was sitting beside him while daydreaming. Alifa threw a glance out the window looking at the roadside trees that seemed to be moving.
"I don't know either, Za. If you go home too, what will you do at home?" Mumbled Alifa with a confused frown.
Suddenly Alifa rounded her eyes and turned towards Hamzah while putting a smile on her lips.
"Za, how about we go see a movie?"
Hamza thought for a moment. Then he agreed too. He turned the wheel towards the cinema.
Upon arrival there, Alifa immediately chose the film they would watch.
Hamzah was commissioned by Alifa to buy pop corn. So he did not know what film Alifa chose.
After ordering one pop corn and one drink, Hamzah's shoulder was pulled by Alifa to enter the theater.
They sit in the back seat. Then Hamzah handed over the pop corn and drinks to Alifa.
"What movie do we want to see, Fa?"
Alifa smiled mischievously as she said, "There's no."
Hamzah smelled suspicious odors from Alifa. However, he could not guess what his wife was planning.
So that Hamzah also watched the film that was being played. At first, Hamzah was ordinary with action films with many scenes of gunfire and shootings.
But once entering the middle of the film, Hamzah was stunned when he saw the adult scene. As a normal man, Hamzah began to feel uneasy.
"Astaghfirullah," muttered Hamzah.
He turned to Alifa who was closing her mouth was holding back from laughing.
Alifa chuckled while holding her cramped stomach as she tried to hold back a laugh. He had indeed deliberately chosen a hot film to test Hamzah.
Alifa was very satisfied to see the uncomfortable expression on Hamzah's face. However, not long after that Alfa stopped his laughter as soon as he realized that Hamzah was angry.
Alifa found out Hamzah was angry because she saw Hamzah's reddened cheeks and also the roar of his fiery breath.
"Za, are you angry?" Alifa asked with a guilty feeling.
Alifa was getting more and more unwell towards Hamzah because the man just left without giving an answer. Alifa was stunned in her seat while looking at Hamzah's back away.
Then Alifa walked following Hamzah came out of the cinema theater. Alifa sped up her steps in order to catch Hamzah's hand.
"Za, are you mad at me?" alifa asked, looking closely at Hamzah's face which was now not as red as before.
Now Hamzah's face was already somewhat calm. Then he looked at Alifa with a flat expression.
Alifa could see clearly if Hamzah's lips were smiling. Even though it looks forced.
"I'm not angry" said Hamzah flatly.
"But your face is so rich" Alifa pursed her lips as her eyes looked at Hamzah's face. "Okay, as a sign of apology, you can choose your favorite movie."
Immediately Hamzah turned his head quickly to look at Alifa. A grin rose on the man's lips. It made Alifa feel an unpleasant air.

"You're seriously bringing me here?"
Alifa asked with her mouth half open. Instead of watching a movie, Hamzah took Alifa to a TPQ in a suburban village.
Alifa narrowed her eyes glaring at Hamzah.
"What do you mean, bring me here?"
