“We just run the command, that anyone should not see Miss Arumi.”
Rafli's anger really bounced. He clutched the collar of the man's shirt. His fist was ready to hit. But, before the fight happened, the door was open and raised the figure of Alex. Rafli's grip also loosened.
"What's this about? Please don't make a fuss here! I could've asked the security guards to drag you out" he threatened.
Infuriated, Rafli positioned himself right in front of Alex. The two stared at each other in a tense silence. Rafli's attention barged in. Arumi had just come from the inside after hearing the commotion.
"Arumi, come with me!" bring Rafli. However, Arumi just silently pecked behind Alex's back.
"Come with you? What right do you have over Arumi?" Alex clucked as if intentionally provoking Rafli's anger. Then turned to look at Arumi who was still staring behind his back. "Let Arumi alone choose" he added.
Not having the courage to raise his head and stare at Rafli, Arumi just lowered her head. "I'll stay here" he said.
"Is he threatening you?" Rafli softened his voice after seeing Arumi who was like a very depressed one.
"No. No one is threatening me here. It's my own decision."
"Are you crazy?" peekik Rafli's. He was about to barge in, but was immediately pushed by Alex.
"I beg your understanding. Alex and I have decided to get married this month. After all, there is nothing to do between us other than because of Aika's existence."
Rafli could hardly believe Arumi's reply. Somehow Alex poisoned his mind. Rafli really wanted to tear down that apartment building.
"You heard it yourself, right? No one threatened Arumi. It's all his own decision."
Rafli just stared at Arumi coldly. Without a word, I walked away. Disappointed and angry mixed one.
Meanwhile, Arumi drops a tear after Rafli disappears behind the elevator door. Tightness feels squeezing the chest. A few minutes ago before Rafli's arrival, Alex had given him a deadly threat, which left Arumi unflappable.
Alex then turned his body and looked at the woman with a smile of satisfaction. "What did you just say it was your decision, or was it just to bully Doctor Rafli into leaving here?"
Arumi was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath as if she was strengthening her heart.
“Unfortunately, I can't wait long. I'll give you a week. If by next week your son is not found, you must marry me.”
Arumi dropped tears again. Resignedly. Wanted to scream, but no one could save him from alex's clutches.

In the morning Yuli goes into the room and finds Aika still lying in bed. The other kids came out to take to the street. The fat lady shook her head while clucking. Because yesterday Aika always woke up faster than other children.
“Hey, wake! We have to leave soon!” he said while pulling the blanket.
Unawakened, he approached and pulled Aika's small hand. However, at that moment Yuli was surprised after finding the surface of Aika's skin was warm. He put the back of his hand onto the little girl's forehead. And right, Aika's body temperature is quite high.
“She hurts?” Suddenly, Yuli was worried. Then it came back to the boy. “Ow, how is this?”
The only thing Yuli can do is compress Aika and give her the heat-lowering medicine she bought from the stall. Hope the medicine can work on Aika's body and bring down her fever.
However, what Yuli expected was inversely proportional. Until a few hours passed, Aika never improved and even now began to shiver. Yuli doesn't know what else to do. While they were only the two in the parlor.
“Daddy ...”
Yuli was dumbstruck hearing Aika's weak voice. Already a few times the little girl deliriously called out to her daddy. His face and body also looked even more pale. In the confusion mixed with fear, Yuli walked back and forth in the room.
“Now how should I? If not taken to the doctor, the condition can get worse. But if I take him to the doctor, the police can find him and I will definitely be jailed.”
