Man who looks strong, man is what is fragile. Because until one day, he will be tired of pretending to be stoic and strong.

"Aletha! Aleta!" bilson screams from his room.
"What's up, you call me? And why do I have to scream all?" ask Aletha.
He walked in a row while carrying a spatula in his hand. Because he was cooking in the kitchen. Baby Eril is playing with his car.
"Where are all the important papers here?" bilson asked in an ear-splitting voice.
Aletha covered her ears with her arms.
"Ng-ng-not know, mas." he replied stammeringly.
"Only you and I are in this house. Who took it?" ask Bilson again with a sharp look.
A look that wants to kill.
"Maybe I forgot where to put it." said Aletha.
"No. I didn't forget. I remember where I kept those files. You must have stolen it?" accuse Bilson.
He pointed rudely at Aletha.
"No, mas. I wasn't. What I took it for. I know that I am at home and not working. All the money is set up. So why did I take it." said Aletha pretending to be innocent.
God, I hope Bilson doesn't suspect me. Aletha screams in the heart.
"You lied. I'm sure you stole it!" bilson did not accept it.
"If you don't believe it already. I want to continue cooking first." said Aletha relaxed.
"Bad! Do you want to avoid your bad deeds? It's obvious you stole it" Bilson said.
"Here you!" bilson said again.
He forced Aletha's hand and took her in the bathroom.
He dipped Aletha's head into the bath for 30 seconds and then lifted her.
"Come, I'm telling you now! Where do you keep all those files?" bilson snaps right in Aletha's ear.
Very close, almost no distance.
"You want to kill me even if I won't tell you where I keep it because I didn't take it" Aletha replied.
His head turned upward as Bilson's hand gripped his hair.
Enraged and furious, Bilaon again forced Aletha's head into a tub filled with water for a minute. Then he lifted it again.
He continued doing so until he felt tired.
Unlike Aletha, she still remains strong and eager not to divulge where she hid the file.
"Well, if you don't want to be honest, I'll make a calculation with you!" says angry.
She left Aletha alone in the bathroom. Aletha immediately chased after Bilson.
"Where are you hiding it. You right now!" jeremy Bilson.
He clutched Eril's shoulder tightly to the point that he cried in fear.
"Don't try touching my son!" snapped Aletha.
"Let go!' aletha Jermit.
"No. I won't let go until you tell me where you're keeping the file!"
"How many times do I have to say that I didn't take the file. Why do you still not believe?" ask Aletha.
His gaze focused on Eril who was within Bilson's grasp.
"Please! Don't hurt my son! I beg of you! He is precious to me." said Aletha began sobbing.
"Not for me." muttered Bilson.
He was trying to stay strong against Bilson. But now his physique was weak as well as his heart. His son is under great threat.
What am I supposed to do? Inner Aletha.
"If you don't want him in danger, your case is where you keep the file! Now!" peekit Bilson's.
Baby Eril grew stronger crying in the grip of his papa hand. Cold sweat began to pour all over his body.
Lord, I hope whatever my decision may be the best. Please take care of my son God and do not let a man like Bilson win along with his pride and arrogance. Aletha muttered in the heart.
"One, two, ....."
Bilson begins to bully Aletha. Aletha was panicking and confused right now. Even his one hand had already slipped from Eril's arm. In just a second, baby Eril will fall down.
"No, mas! Please don't hurt him, mas!" aletha Jermit.
"Alright, alright. I'll tell you where I keep it." Aletha said forcefully.
"Tell me now!" bilson.
Inevitably Aletha told me where she kept the file. Because he did not want to risk his son's life just for the sake of a file that only brings him happiness but not for baby Eril.
"Take off Eril now, mas. Otherwise I wouldn't have told him. We must both keep our promises." said Aletha.
"You let baby Eril be free, then that will tell you" Aletha said firmly.
Bilson pushes Erio's body hard until he falls near Aletha.
Aletha who saw baby Eril slumped on the floor immediately rushed up to her child and hugged her tightly.
"You're safe now, baby. There is a mother here who will always take care of you. We have to fight, yes. We need to be strong!" whispered Aletha into the ear of Ebaye Eril.
"Sorry for making you like this, baby. But we have to be patient. May luck one day side with us, dear." murmured Aletha again.
Bilson who witnessed the incident could only remain silent. It was as if his heart was dead. To this day he has never hugged and kissed the blood of his flesh.
"Where'd you keep that file?" ask Bilson to take Aletha's promise.
"That, anu mas. The file is in..."
"Where? Huh huh? You want to run away from your promise? No, I won't let it." said Bilson.
He approached Aletha and baby Eril. It was obvious that baby Eril's dislike for him was so much that he cried bitterly because Bilson was already nearby again.
Aletha rubbed the back of baby Eril who was in her carry.
"Where?" bilson snapped again right in Aletha's ear.
Aletha kept her face away from Bilson.
"I left it to my friend." replied Aletha quietly.
"What's her name? Where's address? Hurry up now!" bilson said fiercely.
Aletha deliberately took time to answer Bilson's questions while expecting reinforcements to come to her aid.
"Quick say!" screams again.
Baby Eril who heard the angry voice of the father again cried for a moment.
Aletha continued to carry Eril's body into her arms to energize the baby so that she would not feel alone in the morning commotion.
"Yes, mas. I'll say it but I have to promise one thing to me." lure Aletha.
"No. I won't do anything for you if that's what you want. Hold promise!" Bilson.
