Hearing the door of his house knocked Miranda also opened the door for his guests. However, he did not expect that his guests were the police.

"Good night" one of the policemen said to Miranda.

"Night, Sir. What is this rame-rame?" miranda asked confusedly.

"You are under arrest for attempted murder" the police replied, showing Miranda an arrest warrant.

Miranda glared in disbelief. "It's all slander. I can't kill people. Who do you mean?" miranda asked confusedly.

"You have attempted to kill Lady Fara the wife of Mr. Cello." Unwilling to extend the time finally the police dragged Miranda by force.

"Ma, mama, don't take my mama," cried Riska hysterically. She was shocked when her mother was arrested by the police.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Cello faithfully accompanies Fara in the hospital. He was still waiting for Fara to wake up. Soon the doctor who examined Fara entered his wife's ward.

"How's my wife doing, Doc? Why is he unconscious at this point?" ask Cello worried.

"After our observation it turns out your wife is in a coma, we will install some tools to support her treatment" said the doctor.

Cello wants to scream. His wife who was always cheerful and noisy now could not make a sound and could not even move at all.

After the doctor left, Cello punched the wall until his hand was injured. At the same time Anwar came to report to his superiors. "Sir, your hand is hurt" Anwar said as he watched Cello's hand bleed.

"Let Anwar." Cello brushed aside Anwar's hand who wanted to see the condition of his hand.

"What about the task you've been told?" ask Cello.

"Berez, Sir. Miss Miranda has been arrested. Our lawyers will take care of everything" Anwar reported.

"good. Give him a severe punishment. He put my wife in a coma" said Cello. Anwar was very surprised to hear Fara's current condition. But he was happy because he could see Cello cared so much for Fara. He could guess that Cello was starting to love his wife.

"Do you want me to bring you something?" ask Anwar.

"Bring me a change of clothes. I'll accompany him until he's conscious."

"No, Sir. The company needs you. You can come back after work. We'll be in trouble if you don't handle it directly" Anwar said.

"I trust you Anwar. You can take care of the company. Please replace me for a while" whined Cello.

"When will you wait? Even you don't know when your wife will be conscious or she won't be conscious forever."

Bugs

Cello punched Anwar in the face. He did not accept when Anwar prayed for his wife to die. "So what you say! You've gone too far."

Anwar rubbed the bloody tip of his lips and then got up. "Have you started caring about that girl?" point Anwar to Fara's room.

"What you call my wife Anwar" said Cello.

Anwar deliberately said so to find out how much Cello loved Fara. Cello pulls the collar of Anwar's shirt. "At any time I won't divorce Fara. Bring me the letter of the agreement," Cello ordered his subordinates.

"What's? Agreement letter?" Cindy's mother's voice made Anwar and Cello turn their heads. Cello took off his hand slowly.

"Mama," call Cello.

Mama Cindy widens her steps. "Tell my mama! What agreement letter do you mean?" ask Mama Cindy about her son.

"Pre-marital agreement, Ma," replied Cello, looking down.

Plaques

Mama Cindy slapped Cello's cheek at the time. He really doesn't think about what his son is doing. Cindy's mama's chest went up and down for holding back her anger. Cello received punishment from his mother. "Ma, please listen to me first!"

"What?"

Cello persuades his mother to sit down so they can talk together. Then he coded Anwar to stay away. Anwar nodded obediently.

"Mama doesn't think how can you do a pre-wedding agreement?" ask Mama Cindy.

"That's all I'm doing so I can be free from the gay rumors that you're spreading" Cello replied, attacking his mother. Cindy was surprised to hear that.

"What do you mean?" ask Mama Cindy to pretend.

"I have told people to investigate who is behind the world's uproar because of the slander directed at me, Ma. That guy is a mom, right?"

Mama Cindy pulled the tip of her lips. "Do you know why Mom made that rumor?" ask Mama Cindy back. Cello shook his head.

"For you to marry a woman. Mama is ashamed to have a child who wants to step on the head of three but also does not have a sidecar. Mama knows you're heartbroken after breaking up with Mitt. So mama thought of that crazy idea so you could handle it. See, you're finally married. But mama was really disappointed when you got married just pretend."

"Cello doesn't pretend, Ma. At first Cello made a marriage vote for a hundred days and we agreed that we would divorce in exchange for the ten billion that Cello paid to loan sharks who tried to blackmail Fara" she said.

"So that much debt?" mama Cindy didn't understand.

"He and his family only owe a hundred million but they ask Fara for interest."

Mama Cindy was furious. "What's that much flower? That's called blackmail."

"You don't have to worry about me handing them over to the police and taking my money back. And that money I put into the bank account I made in Fara's name, Ma. As the dowry I gave him."

"If you may know what Fara and her family owe her a hundred million dollars for?" ask Mama Cindy curious.

"To pay for her father's treatment at the hospital, Ma. But he said not that much. It's just that his mother and stepbrother like to spend so much money that Fara had to bash himself to pay the loan shark's debt. Just so you know I met him when I saved him from those loan shark messengers. I don't know why I wanted to protect the girl I first met back then."

Cello's rolling back his memories. He smiled even though his heart ached at the thought of his wife in a coma.

Mama Cindy stared at her son. "Can't you rip up the covenant and extend the term to a lifetime? Mama loves Fara very much" said Mama Cindy half begging.

What did Cello answer to his mother?
