"What's this?" Ask Tommy who just got home from work.
"Tom, look at your wife. He's watering the cactus you bought in Japan." Maya complains to her son.
Tommy looked at Irene. Irene lowered her head in guilt. "Ma, I'm sorry about him. Irene probably doesn't know how to care for a cactus." Tommy tried to defend his wife. Irene nodded quickly as Maya and Tommy set their sights on her.
"Well, you're defending your wife who's clearly wrong." Maya sulks and she steps her feet quickly into the house.
Tommy breathed. Irene approached her husband. "I'm sorry for my mistake, Mom. But I really didn't do it on purpose. Mama told me to water the flowers but I didn't see any cactus there" she said, bowing her head.
Tommy raised Irene's chin. "That's it, it's okay. Mama can buy it again later."
After that Tommy embraces his wife to come inside.
"I'm preparing warm water for a bath." Tommy nodded. Irene tried to serve her husband well. He doesn't want to disappoint anyone.

At Devon's house everyone was gathering at the dining table.
"Ehem." Devon cleared his throat for everyone to notice.
"Kids, I want to tell you the good news" Devon said.
"What good news, Pa? We're going on holiday abroad, right?" Ask the enthusiastic Cello.
"Well, we're going to Korea. There again spring must be fun," said Ruby no less enthusiastic.
"No, honey. I'm telling you Aunt Cindy is pregnant."
Silent. No one is making a sound. "Cello aren't you happy that mom wants a baby sister?" Ask Cindy carefully.
"Say friends if you have a baby sister later mama will love him more than Cello. Cello is sad, "he replied innocently.
"If you're why are you so sad, Ruby?" This time it was Devon's turn to ask his adopted son.
"I'm just like Cello, too, Om. I'm afraid you guys no longer want me to stay here if Cello's sister is born" Ruby said honestly.
Cindy got up from her chair and approached the two children. "Cello, Ruby, nothing will be set aside. We all love you. You're still our priority even if Cello's sister is born. Don't think like that anymore, my dear. We love you guys and won't change until any time." Cindy hugged both of them affectionately.
"Thank you Auntie" Ruby said sobbing. She was really moved because Cindy really loved herself sincerely. Ruby had no blood ties to her.
"Sst, from now on call me Mama!" pinta Cindy on Ruby while breaking her embrace.
Ruby hugged Cindy back tightly. "Mama," he called her soft. He was sad because he remembered Siska who had died.
"Oh yes Ruby, tomorrow I take you to your mama's grave. It's been a long time since we've visited him" Cindy said. Ruby loves Cindy because she knows what she wants.
"Alright, tomorrow ask the driver to take you," Devon ordered.
The next day, Cindy picks Ruby up at her school. Cindy came down with Cello. Everyone who saw Cindy's appearance became fascinated.
Ruby came from a different direction. He waved his hand when he saw someone he knew. "Mama," the call was addressed to Cindy. Ruby is so happy to get a new foster mom.
"That's Ruby's mother? I know her mother's not that pretty woman."
"His father got married again?" Followed by another friend.
"Hissh his father is dead."
A lot of Ruby's friends talked about it in the back.
"His family looks harmonious." Others grew increasingly envious of their closeness.
"Come, Ma. Departing now!" Take Ruby on the ride.
After that Cindy asked her driver to run the car to the tomb. The location of Siska's tomb happened to be not far from Ruby's school.
"Ma, Cello wait in the car huh. It was very hot outside" said the boy.
"Yes, later accompanied by Mr. Hasan yes," replied Cindy.
Then Cindy and Ruby head to Siska's tomb. Ruby still wears a uniform just that she wears a jacket that covers her body. While Cindy dressed all long and wearing a head covering like a veil attached to her shoulders.
However, suddenly someone grabbed Ruby from behind. Cindy wanted to help him but he was instead encouraged by one of the criminals. Cindy growled in pain when she felt pain in her stomach.
"Arrgh my stomach."
Others who saw the incident from afar were seen screaming for help. Ruby was dragged into the car. Cindy was left alone near Siska's grave. Now he is unconscious.
Cello accidentally saw people carrying his mother. The little boy then cried loudly. "Mama" he shouted while pointing at his mother.
"Den, what's wrong?" Ask Hasan who is confused.
"Where am I going to take you?" Ask while crying.
Mr. Hasan followed the direction of Cello's index finger. He was shocked when people took him. Mr. Hasan immediately ran over. "Sir Wait, this is my employer. What's going on?"
"He fainted on the grave. You also saw the girl who was with him in the car" one witness said.
Mr. Hasan was certainly very surprised. He asked them to take him to his car. Mr. Hasan paid no heed to Cello's roaring cry. The most important thing right now is to take her employer to the hospital.
It didn't take long for Mr. Hasan to reach the nearest hospital. He immediately called the nurse to deal with Cindy. Meanwhile, Cello who was still crying he tried to calm down but did not succeed. Mr. Hasan felt dizzy then he called Devon and informed him about the incident they were experiencing
"Hallo, sir...." Mr. Hasan was nervous when he wanted to talk to Devon.
"What's up, sir? Why not talk directly?"
"Anu Sir. Miss Cindy passed out and Miss Ruby was kidnapped."
"What?" There was a sound of table shaking so that it surprised Mr. Hasan. Devon then hung up the phone unilaterally after asking where his wife was being treated.
"Wood!" Shouting Devon.
Bayu entered the room half-run. "What's up, sir?" Ask Bayu with a loud breath.
"Ruby kidnapped. Get your men to look for him. I'll catch up with my wife who's been in the hospital for fainting." Devon snatched his suit and key lying on the table.
Bayu immediately followed up on his superior's orders. He sent people to find Ruby.
Meanwhile, in a rented house that was quiet, Ruby's eyes were tightly closed. Handny tied to the back. However, his mouth was not smothered.
Tak
nope
nope
The sound of footsteps rang out loud because things were so quiet. Although she could not see Ruby, she felt that someone was standing nearby.
