Rania and Yuda descended into the living room while holding hands. It would seem that Judah was very proud of his wife wherever she was. Upon entering the living room, Bara who saw the arrival of his parents immediately stood followed by his two sisters and their guests.
"Good night, Mr. Benny, meet my wife... Rania.." said Yuda to introduce his beloved wife.
The deg!
Rania's world seemed to immediately stop spinning when she heard and saw with her own eyes who was the guest of her husband.
"Benny.." hiss Rania lirih.
The woman's face was immediately tense not to think that her past had returned and was now standing straight in front of her. While Benny smiled faintly, his ex-wife looked shocked when she saw him. Benny casually reached out his hand but Rania only cupped her hands in front of her chest. Fortunately, since getting to know and close to Amira, Rania finally decided to follow in the footsteps of the woman wearing a hijab since two months ago. So now he does not have to welcome the handshake of a human who once scratched a very severe wound and also hated it. Rania is really disgusted if she has to come into contact with Benny even if it is just a handshake.
Benny finally lowered his hand. But he still showed a smile to cover the anger in his heart because Rania did not want to welcome his hands. Although he admitted that maybe Rania did it because now the woman has been wearing a hijab. While Rania is looking for herself because she regrets because she never showed pictures of her ex-husband to Yuda. So now without the man knowing if he is currently entertaining people who used to hurt Rania.
"Then let's have dinner now." invite Yuda still holding his wife.
Rania could only nod to justify her husband's words. Then they went to the dining room for dinner. A relaxed atmosphere enveloped the dinner. Rania as much as possible hid her anxiety and still displayed a charming smile as the hostess. The dinner went well too. Yuda and Bara even chatted with Benny after the dinner. This of course makes Benny very happy because he feels that his plan to approach the Yuda family is going smoothly.
"Basic stupid! it turns out you're just a plain guy if it's not about Judah's business. ah, but it's better because it will further launch my plan to get Bara..." benny's inner as he returns to his car.
The man even hummed softly as he ran the car towards his hotel while staying. While at his house Rania was no longer able to cover her anxiety when she was already in her room. Yuda who had just entered after talking for a while with Bara after Benny's departure was shocked when he saw the wife who was daydreaming in front of the window of their room.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" asked Yuda gently as he approached towards Rania.
Rania tiptoed slightly as she heard the question from her husband.
"Since when have you worked with that guy?" rania asked in an annoyed tone instead of answering the question from her husband.
"Since a month ago? haven't you been uninterested in my clients and associates all this time?" sahut Yuda was calm.
Rania sighed violently in some way so that she could explain who Benny really was to Judah. She was afraid that her husband would immediately cancel his cooperation with Benny and would cause problems for the company later. Yuda pulled Rania's body closer to her and placed both hands on her shoulders gently.
"What's really going on with Nia? is there anything in your heart about Benny?" ask Yuda trying to make the wife honest with him.
Because Yuda saw Rania's behavior that immediately became strange when he met Benny even though he pretended not to know it. Rania bit her lower lip nervously. He wanted to be honest with Judah, but he was still at a loss to reveal it.
"Just say, baby.I'm ready to listen to it. And I promise I won't do anything rash after knowing it all.." said Yuda.
Rania exhaled a rough breath before she revealed everything.
"He was that guy... Benny is my ex and Bara's real father." said Rania with a trembling voice holding back tears.
Not a sad cry but a terrified cry if Benny would ruin his new family and take Bara away from him and Judah. Yuda immediately pulled Rania's body into his arms and stroked the woman's back gently.
"You take it easy, I already know everything about him and your past before I decide to work with him" Bara explained trying to calm Rania down.
"Do you know yet?" rania asked, stretching her arms to look at the face of Judah in disbelief.
Yuda nodded his head as the answer.
"You know and you still want to work with him? I really don't understand your way of mind that mas. When I want to keep that man away from our family you even invite him to the house!" rania's voice was full of emotion.
"I did it for Nia's reasons." said Yuda trying to calm his wife who looks hysterical.
Fortunately, their room was soundproofed until the sound of the debate between the two was not heard coming out.
"I just want to see what he's going to do next for us after he thinks that you're the only one who knows your past... I don't want him to suspect that I already know everything when he offers his cooperation, we should play smarter than him, dear..." it was Yuda's light again that made Rania slowly become calmer.
The only thing that kept her going after her divorce with Benny was the news of her pregnancy after two months. Because previously he had experienced depression for Benny's betrayal and had attempted suicide. At that time the news of her pregnancy made Rania change her mind because of getting grace among her suffering. Since then he was determined to become a strong woman for the sake of his future baby. And after a hard struggle he finally managed to give birth to Bara. Before meeting Yuda she painstakingly became a single mother who worked odd jobs to support her baby. And God again bestowed his grace by meeting him with Judah. Single men who are so considerate with him and also his only son.
After the introduction and approach for one year, Rania finally convinced to accept Yuda's proposal so they got married. Bara had even received and called Judah papa before the two officially became husband and wife. And that was one of Rania's considerations at the time when she received Yuda's proposal.
"You don't worry, we'll say everything to Bara before Benny does.." said Yuda who made both eyes of Rania patterned.
"Ta. but mas..."
"That's best Rania. Only in that way Bara won't blame us for covering up the truth all this time to her... although it is not my flesh and blood but all this time I have cared for and educated him. So I know the nature of my son, he will definitely digest our explanation and will accept everything well" cut Yuda.
Finally, Rania nodded her head in approval to what Yuda said. At least she was a little relieved because her husband had already prepared everything. It is not wrong if God has sent the good man to be her husband and father to Bara.
Somewhere else...
Someone was staring at the cell wall where he had been living all this time. The wall seemed to contain scribbles showing how long he had been locked up in this cursed place. Every day he always counted how much time was too much in silence. Yes. he was placed in his own cell because he deliberately gave painstaking to officers there. He is not willing to be combined with other criminals. It did not matter if he had to spend a lot of money to be able to occupy his own cell. What else is added to the special facilities that he can receive compared to other prisoners. He thinks it's worth it.
Even so he did not use excessive facilities just ordinary cells with a collection of books that he read every day. And of course the food is different from other prisoners. He never went out of his cell because he enjoyed the silence there.
"Hemm... doesn't feel like it's been almost four years, I can't wait to see you again Tara. It's only two years away..." he said with a smile and stroked the graffiti he had just made to mark the time he had spent so far.
Yes, he is Dr. Andrew...
After his arrest and a hard enough trial he was finally sentenced to 6 years in prison. Because because the cleverness of Dr. Andrew enough to make the prosecutor becomes difficult in accusing him to get a heavier sentence. And finally, with the help of Mr. Sam and the King in finding evidence to incriminate the doctor Andrew finally get a satisfactory sentence.
After marking the cell wall, as usual Andrew's doctor returned to do his daily activities there, namely reading. As he was reading, suddenly the guard approached him.
"Doctor Andrew wants to see you" he said, prompting Dr Andrew to frown.
Inwardly he wondered who was going to meet him at this moment. Because all this time there were only two people who always visited him in prison. They are bi Ijah and Hendro his lawyer. But this is not a day to visit bi Ijah which always comes on weekends. Hendro's lawyer only comes once a month and that's not the case today either. Although still wondering in the heart of the doctor Andrew followed the prison officer to meet the person who wanted to see him.
When he arrived at the room where the prisoner received the visit, Andrew's doctor frowned because he did not know the two people who had been waiting for him in the room.
"Good day, Doctor Andrew." said one of them, extending his hand to the doctor Andrew.
"Jiang... Who are you?" ask Andrew's doctor after returning the man's handshake.
"My name is Bripka Hanan and this is my colleague Iptu Niken from the police investigator" explained Bripka Hanan.
Andrew's doctor scrunched his forehead. He did not understand why two police investigators came to see him. Because he felt if the case that ensnared him was finished when he was sentenced. He didn't even appeal, so there was some business in which the two police officers came to see him. Understanding the curiosity of doctor Andrew about the reason the two went to the doctor, Bripka Hanan immediately explained the intention of his arrival who wanted to ask the doctor for help to solve a serial murder case that shook the community at present.
Hearing the explanation of the officer in front of him, Dr. Andrew immediately smiled faintly. His brain worked so he could benefit from it.
"I understand... but what benefit will I get if I want to help you? you don't think I'll help you out for free?" he negotiated.
The two investigators looked at each other. Of course they guessed. Dr. Andrew will definitely ask for his help. But to be able to reveal a case that has shocked the community that makes the police must immediately reveal the perpetrator and can arrest him while making the two officers want to listen to the request of Andrew's doctor.
"My request is very easy.I just want a reduced sentence so I can be released after the case is over." said Dr. Andrew with a smile.
"We should discuss your request with our superiors first." Hanan said.
"Well, then see me again if my request has been fulfilled.." said doctor Andrew immediately rose from his seat and immediately left the room casually to return to his cell.
In his heart Dr. Andrew was sure that the two policemen would definitely meet his requirements. Because he has also read about the case and he believes with the current public pressure the police have no choice but to grant his request. Two days later, the two police officers went back to see Andrew's doctor and said that the police would respond to Andrew's request as long as the doctor would help solve the murder.
Hearing his request was granted, Andrew's doctor immediately agreed to help. And for that Andrew's doctor was taken out of prison to make it easier for them to solve the case even though it was still with strict supervision so that Andrew's doctor would not think to escape.
