Maulana rushed after Trisya. He put his arm around Trisya to sit with him at an empty table.
"What else do you want?" Trisya asked.
"Trisya. I knows Richard is a good man."
"Very!"
"But he made a fatal mistake by making you his mistress."
"I'm not his mistress!"
"Then what?"
Trisya didn't answer.
"You can't answer that."
"Not that I can't, I don't want to answer it!"
"Trisya. What do you get out of all this?" Maulana asked.
"I'm happy," Trisya replied flatly.
"Happiness can make your Momv heartbroken?"
"Happy for myself! Why should I think about a woman who never considered me to exist?"
Trisya's phone rang.
"Sorry, I'll take the call first," Trisya said.
"Yes."
Trisya answered the phone.
"Hallo.."
"Hallo, my love. It's been a long time since I greeted you."
"Who is this?"
"You forgot the voice of the man who has showered you with wealth?"
"Old geezer!"
"Don't be like that. I miss you so much. I think it's time for me to pick you up. But I see you sitting with another adult male."
Trisya looked around. A Chinese man waved his hand. His name was Steven. He looked like he was walking towards her with his assistant named Amar.
"How did you get here?" Trisya asked.
"Who is this? New man? Where is your father? Did he dump you?" Steven didn't answer Trisya's question.
"Who are you?" Maulana asked.
"The owner of this woman," Steven replied.
"I'm not yours!" Trisya retorted.
"Then who's it? Belonging to that handsome Commander?"
"I'm her father!" Maulana explained.
"A father who can also sleep with her? Like that commander?"
"Watch your words! I'm her biological father!" Maulana retorted.
"Oh really? Good. If so, I can ask your permission to propose to your daughter to be mine. I'm 55 years old. Maybe older than you, sir. But I will make her a queen if she becomes my wife."
"What?"
"At least with me her status is clear. Compared to just being a pet of her stepfather!"
"Steven, are you here?" Ariana approached followed by Robby.
"Ah, future mother-in-law," Steven greeted. "I'm leaving right away as soon as you call me to pick up Trisya."
"What does this mean, Riana?" Maulana asked.
"Rather than her destroying your family, making everyone here messed up, let her be taken away by Steven. Didn't she live with Steven before? Happy, right?"
"You're crazy!! You know how I tried to escape from that hell?? And just because you don't like me being with Richard, you dare to sell me to that devil?? Are you human or not???" Trisya shouted.
"Stop making a drama as if you've been hurt by many people! You're hallucinating, Miss! No one hurt you, you made up the story yourself!"
"What's going on here?" Amir appeared. "Please don't make a fuss here."
"If she's not stubborn, there won't be any trouble!" Ariana said.
"Ariana is crazy, Uncle!! She wants to sell me to Steven just because she wants me to disappear from her life!"
"You're the one who's crazy!" Ariana retorted.
"I will never forgive all of you!" Trisya ran away from the place.
"Trisya!" Amir called.
"Chase her! And bring her to me!" Steven ordered.
"Enough!" Maulana stood in front of Amar, Steven's assistant.
"You may be her biological father. But you don't have to interfere by defending that woman! Her own mother has made an agreement to let me take her!"
"Go away all of you. Don't make other guests uncomfortable later," Amir suggested.
Maulana looked at Ariana.
"You're angry with her, Riana? You may. But handing over your child to Steven is not too much? Robby is here. I'm making plans with him about Trisya.
"That woman is good at making up stories. To people, she always calls me a monster who doesn't care about her! Poor Robby if he has to be her husband!"
Steven looked at Ariana.
"How?"
"Stay true to our agreement!"
"You're a cruel mother," Steven laughed. "Ok. Make sure to find her and drag her home!"
"Giving birth to a troublemaker, it's my responsibility to eliminate her!"
Steven left the place with his assistant.
"I can't believe you can be like that."

Ardi had just arrived home when the clock showed 10:00 pm. He threw himself on the couch. The phone he had placed on the table rang. A call from Aisyah.
"Hallo."
"Are you home, Di?"
"Just got home. What's up, Ai?"
"That .. My father asked .. " Aisyah sounded hesitant to speak. "Actually .. I'm not comfortable asking. But Dad keeps pushing me to ask you."
The sound of the house door being knocked.
"Aisyah. I'll call you later. It looks like someone is coming."
"This late?"
"I'll see first."
"Ok."
Ardi put down his phone. He immediately got up and walked to open the door. Trisya stood in front of him when the door opened.
"Trisya?"
"Officer .. Can you help me?"
"What's wrong?"
Trisya didn't answer. Her head was down. Ardi saw the woman's shoulders shaking and her tears flowed. Ardi pulled Trisya into his arms.
"What's wrong?"
"I just want to disappear from this life," Trisya cried.
"Come in .." Ardi pulled the body in his arms inside and closed the door.
"Sit down first."
Trisya sat on the couch. She pulled Ardi's arm when the man was about to walk away.
"Don't tell Daddy I'm here. Don't tell anyone."
Ardi looked at Trisya. He let go of Trisya's grip and walked away. Soon he returned with a glass of water.
"Drink."
"No."
Ardi sat next to Trisya.
"What's wrong?"
"I want Mom to rot in jail! No, I don't want to call her Mom. I want Ariana to rot in jail! Can I report her?
"What happened?"
"She just wants to sell me to Uncle Steven! She doesn't know that while I was with Uncle Steven, he never treated me humanely!"
"Who is Steven?"
"The man who took care of me when I was stranded out there after leaving that devil woman's house!"
"Don't call your mom like that."
"I'm tired of having to keep quiet facing her! I'm sick of it! She and her ex-husband are the real monsters! I thought by giving her a mental blow by taking Daddy away from her life, she would realize! But she's just getting crazier! How could she hand me over to Uncle Steven? She doesn't know how Uncle Steven tortured me?" Trisya cried again.
"Trisya, listen to me .."
"Sir, you have to listen to me!!" Trisya shouted.
Suddenly Trisya opened her shirt, leaving a mini tank top behind the shirt she threw on the floor.
"See the scars on my back? Who damaged my back? Mom! She burned my back with a cigarette when she thought I was stealing Uncle Lucas from her! She never wanted to listen to my screams! I was the one who was molested but I was accused of seducing her crazy husband! And you see the scars on my right chest, right? Officer, you know what this is? Steven put hot iron on my chest because he saw me coming home at 12 am with my male friend!! Do you know what Steven said at that time? My little dog has to be marked with ownership so that no one approaches it!"
