A middle-aged woman who usually looks elegant like a high-class socialite, is now invisible.
Inside the chamber, behind the narrow room was a barrier of iron bars. Erika looks shabby with a typical uniform orange-colored washcloth.
Due to the strong evidence, he is no longer a suspect. Except prisoners.
He still felt unable to accept what he was going through.
"Aaaa... " The sound of desperate screams from Erika rang out.
'I can't accept this. Who is that young master? I don't even know him. I've never had any enemies other than my former best friend and his son.'
Erika sat down hugging her knees. In this cell he was alone. Previously he occupied a cell with a woman as well. But since it was quite contained, it disturbed the other's calm. Until it is transferred into this cell. Alone, without a mat other than a mat that can still penetrate cold when occupied.
Despite shouting at all, the other prisoners would not hear him. Since the warden who was actually the one from the young master had been given instructions, to place Erika inside a cell located some distance away from the other cell. This will make it easier for young master Rayhan's side if he wants to provide additional lessons for Erika. But by looking at the frustration of an Erik at the moment, it was already enough for now.

"Assalamu'alaikum."
Three middle-aged people entered Loly's hospital room. Who else if not both mama with mbak Eni.
"Wa'alaikumsalam." Joan followed by Loly.
"How are you, baby? Is it better?" Mama Joan asked for her worry.
"Alhamdulillah Loly has improved. "
"I'm sorry, my mom just found out that you're going through this. " Mama Joan felt sorry for not knowing her daughter-in-law's condition earlier. Though the distance of their house is only separated by the next complex.
Let alone Joan's mother. Neighbors next door just don't know what caused Loly to lie in the hospital right now.
Pluks.
"Law.." Mama why the hell? Joan complains after receiving a blow to her shoulder.
"How are you? My wife could get hurt that way. "
"Sorry ma. Joan's focused on catching her intruder, knowing she's not alone."
Joan's face paled at Loly. Feeling guilty for not being able to protect his wife properly.
Seeing her husband return to guilty mode made Loly feel pity. It's not Joan's fault if she's hurt or why.
No one wants to get hurt, nor does anyone want a loved one to get hurt.
"You're innocent brother. Thank you for saving me." Loly's soft speech is quite soothing. But such guilt refused to leave Joan.
Loly turned her gaze towards the mother-in-law. "Loly is fine, please don't blame Joan."
"Huh, mama's upset son. He didn't even tell mom how you were. Didn't tell me at all that you were hurt like this."
"It is mbak. Most importantly, Loly is fine now. Joan was very panicked. So don't think of anything else." Mama Fika stroked her iron arm. Trying to calm him down. I no longer blame Joan. Mama Fika was quite sorry to see Joan who was worried about his wife was blamed for the incident that befell Loly.
"Dear, sorry.. I can't protect you very well."
"Don't apologize like that, brother. You've done your best."
Everyone chuckles too.
"Oh yeah, how's Jo's case going? Did the police track down who did it?"
"There is no bright spot yet. But.."
"But what son? Are you suspicious of anyone?" Guess mom Joan.
"Emmm.. Yes ma. We're not sure if the real culprit either."
"What's Erika?"
Sudden pias. Loly and Joan's faces stiffened slightly at Erika's name. After all, these two people know how unfortunately Mama Fika towards her best friend that one. They were afraid that Mama Fika was sad because she was disappointed that her best friend was behind Loly's injuries.
"So it's true."
Looking at the child and his daughter-in-law was silent with a strained look. Makes Mama Fika sure of her guess. He was not surprised, but was quite surprised if Erika would act this far.
How dare I hurt my son. That's how Mama Fika is.
"Sorry mbak. Who is erika?" asked mom Joan hesitating. Erika's name is no stranger to ears. She was one of the celebrities, of course everyone knew Erika. Only Erika was the same or not, that was the question of Joan's mother.
"He's an actress who is wara-wiri on television mbak. Destroyer of my family, now he's trying to screw up my family again. I think he'll stop after taking Papa Loly. Looks like he won't be satisfied before we go bankrupt."
"What?" Mama Joan was surprised to hear that. Wonderful deh. A celebrity can do such a low.
Erika is a public figure. His antler action can affect society a little. He is very senior in the television world. As it turns out, well-known is not necessarily as good as it is displayed. This proves that it is true, not all the contents of the book are the same as the cover.
As a public figure should be an example to others. But what to say. We are not the ones controlling this life.
Including the hearts and minds of others.
"Yes mbak. Don't think about him anymore. I'm tired of his behavior. Actually, he used to be a good man. I don't know what demonic possession turned him into what he is now."
"Sorry mbak. I didn't know that.."
"Yes mbak. Now we just focus on these two."
"I mean..?"
"Yes, let's just focus on these two kids. When did they give grandchildren?"
Mama Fika said with a face made happy with new hope. Granddaughter of the marriage of Loly and Joan.
Even so, the look in Mama Fika's eyes cannot be lied to. It is like sadness, disappointment, and anger.
Finally, until night, only the discussion about prospective grandchildren became the topic of conversation in Loly's nursery, until Loly fell asleep.
Both mama and mbak Eni returned home after Loly fell asleep.
In the taxi.
Mama Fika was silent for quite a while. Ignoring the whereabouts of Joan's mother sitting next to him.
Mama Joan stroked her arm gently several times. As a fellow woman, she was quite familiar with the feelings of Mama Fika.
"I'm fine, ma'am."
"Yes, I'm an amazing woman. May the calamity that befalls the family soon be over."
