Erick turned around and turned to look at the sister's hand holding her black suit. Apparently the nun intended to stop Erick's steps to listen to his words.

"Can you listen to me for a second" he said, staring seriously.

"Speak up! I don't have much time," Erick replied impatiently as he glanced at the watch in his hand.

"First, I don't agree with what you said, asking me to take a vacation instead of working and lying to Doctor Edward."

"Secondly, I've been assigned to take care of you so, like, don't like it or not, you have to accept the decision that the Doctor says."

"Three, you don't have to worry because I won't interfere with all your world affairs, my job is just to take care of it" the Sister explained at length.

Erick clucked irritably, as long as the nun explained it, he would still feel disturbed because for now Erick had to find the whereabouts of Damar and Aleta.

There was no way Erick had to carry the nurse with him wherever he went, after all the situation was precarious and Erick did not want the nurse to be affected by the problems that occurred at this time.

"Listen yes, I know you have good intentions to take care of me, but for now I can't take you to come with me" Erick said honestly.

"Alright, then let me take your car! you can't drive a car if your hands are still hurt" he said, raising his hands in front of Erick to hand him the keys.

Erick let out a sigh of resignation. As long as the nurse does not follow wherever she goes, it does not matter to her, after all just drive her car after that she can be free.

Erick handed over the car keys to the nun and now the nun walks ahead of him while pressing the car keys remote to open the car door.

"You can really drive a car, right?" erick asked hesitantly after sitting next to the steering chair.

"Not to worry. Two weeks ago, I passed my driving test and today I just got my sim card A" he said enthusiastically while casually installing the seat belt, preparing to start the car.

Just now the car was about to walk after it was turned on, but suddenly died. Erick looked over with doubt and fear as well. The car was turned back on and the nurse tried to press the gas pedal but, again, it died so that the car was running back and forth unstable.

"I'd better take him!" erick was impatient after feeling a tremendous panic when the car was driven by the nurse.

"Just relax, this is easy for me!" with an incredible level of self-confidence.

I don't know what makes Erick reluctant to chim in on his words. Lazy to serve, Erick also prefers to dwell with his cellphone, collecting all the information provided by bodyguard Damar.

Raindrops sounded shahdu, looks shady trees swinging to where the wind blew it though, dark clouds enveloped that afternoon.

The atmosphere of the countryside is so soothing when the rain arrives, because the sound of water falling from the roof is engrossed in the ears of the rain connoisseur.

Aleta blinked her eyes slowly, feeling heavy to open her eyes. His view is also still blurry not yet clearly visible due to his long sleep.

His head still felt heavy as he tried to get up from his sleep and even his entire body was in pain, once he moved it. Maybe because the effect is too long lying down, he thought.

Aleta circulated the vision which then came to a halt right at the infusion pole. The roar of his heartbroken breath he let out as he pityed his own unfortunate self.

A clear grain of corn dripped from the tail end of his eye. He was stirring in his heart, 'Why do you still allow me to live? should've just let me die. I'm sick of living my life as Aleta.'

Aleta blames fate that has never been fair to her, from the age of 7 years to the present, nor happiness lay in her life. There has been a lot of patience that he instilled in himself, so as not to always hate with his life but, reality says another.

Starting from life, heart and solitude, he hid from behind the mask of his face. Being strong, strong and pretending to be happy he did for the sake of people who do not always pity his life.

He realized that everyone was wearing their masks to cover things to make them invisible to anyone, including his father and Damar. Aleta felt she had to be wary of the two people.

Taps!

There was the sound of someone entering the room. Aleta who heard the voice immediately pretended to close her eyes, hoping that the person who came was not Damar.

"You cry again, dear," said Mother Azra as she swept away the trail of tears on the tail side of Aleta's eyes.

Hearing a familiar voice and the touch of her hand, Aleta opened her eyes wide. He choked for a moment, when he saw the figure of Mother who had longed for.

Her eyes were watery and her tongue felt like it was a joke to say everything she wanted to ask. Whether it was just a dream or not, he felt happy to be undisclosed.

As with Aleta, Azra's mother also froze. The two exchanged a silent glance before Aleta finally shed a full cry in front of the mother.

Aleta tried to wake up from her sleep in order to tightly embrace the mother of Azra who she believed was not just a shadow.

"Mother!" aleta's screams called out as she splashed in her arms.

"Where have you been all this time? you know, I miss you so much" Aleta said shedding her tears in the warm embrace of the Mother.

"I'm sorry, honey, you're evil because you've gone quietly from you." The mother hugged Aleta's weak body tightly while occasionally rubbing her back gently.

Aleta let go of the hug and immediately shook her head quickly. "No! you are not the same bad person as them" Aleta explained immediately dismissing the mother's words.

"Please promise not to walk away from me anymore, yeah!" pinta Aleta pleaded with Azra's mother, clasped her hands and pulled her into the deck.

Azra's mother nodded and promised to leave Aleta no longer, she would always be next to Aleta, even if she had to bet with her life.

His promise to Mother Aleta must be kept and the guilt of leaving Aleta must be paid immediately, by protecting her from the Emir and all his minions.

While from behind the door it appears that Damar is watching Aleta and a middle-aged woman called mother, he also hears the conversation of the two who are quite curious about the past life of Aleta.
