In another place, Mr. Rahmat and his wife were busy at a clean Friday event. The event was so moving. A meeting of mother-in-law and son-in-law who had been separated for decades. The event was a success and was a touching surprise to be published in the news of Breaking News, the online portal this afternoon. But the event could not be considered successful to a certain someone because Shasha was not there.
Mr. Rahmat's goal was not achieved.
***
Maya Agustin had not read the news yet, she focused on being a jury. Her husband did not want to disturb Maya Agustin's mood, which would ruin her beautiful makeup. Maya Agustin, when she was upset, she liked to go berserk and slams the furniture nearby. It wouldn't do any good if this piece of news reached her ears.
***
While Shasha had been on standby since 8 am near the mosque, the kitchen had been distributing rice continuously, after people have finished praying Friday.
So she didn't meet the mayor who deliberately held an event at the nature school, once again the mayor's goal was not achieved.
Mr. Rahmat's aide whispered, "Shasha just got home. She was helping her grandmother clean up!."
***
That afternoon in Maya Agustin's room, the woman stomped her feet, annoyed at Rahmat. The man had found her mother, Mrs. Maimunah first.
Fortunately, Mrs. Maimunah did not mention the name Maya Agustin, the former wife of the mayor.
Maya Agustin was worried that if this was revealed to the media, the war would start. The registration process for the mayor's candidacy was still long. This issue was not good to be known to the public and the media.
People shouldn't know that they were ex-husband and wife.
Several places in the village from the park to the nature school including the area around Shasha's boarding house, the city government installed CCTV cameras, the reason was for people's safety and environmental maintenance.
The community welcomed this attention, they were passionate about supporting government programs and decided to participate voluntarily.
But no one knew who was going to monitor these CCTVs. They thought that the operator was the authorities. But no one knew who was in charge.
The CCTV cameras were solely for monitoring Shasha, record her daily activities and then make them go viral on social media.
Shasha only understood that she had become famous after Edo showed a news article on YouTube and many people posted that they wanted to meet and take pictures with her.
Shasha, the girl driving the literacy cart, was a youth leader who cared for the environment and children's education.
The reading activities she did in this smart park resulted in a reaction from community support to donate books for underprivileged children.
Several media have asked about Shasha's willingness to be interviewed and become a guest of dialogue on local and national TV stations.
Shasha was confused in facing TV and newspaper media reporters. She was not used to dealing with the media.
Edoardo Callahan finally accompanied and taught Shasha how to deal with journalists. As well as teaching Shasha martial arts to protect herself.
Edo didn't need to strain so much, Shasha's surroundings were already guarded, there were bodyguards chosen for their martial arts experts and disguised themselves, living around Shasha's residence.
Everything about Shasha had been due to her grandfather, Mr. Isaac Ibrahim's thoughtfulness.

Regina slammed her cellphone against the bed. She felt defeated. Her efforts to get close to Edo were interrupted by Shasha.
"Edo likes pushing the girl's 'trash' cart! Don't you see anything wrong?" Regina was unbelievably upset.
"How could I be defeated by a village girl, who was not beautiful either!"
Regina was angry because she lost the limelight, as everyone at school, in society, and even on social media, all were talking about Shasha. She was at the top of the list of people search.
There were no recent media reports about Regina. All eyes turned to Shasha, "who the hell is she, she doesn't even on oar with me!"
Regina was hurt that the theater competition she thought was devoid of enthusiasts.
School students in that city weren't paying any attention to her project.
They were more interested in the activities initiated by Shasha, they were participating in literacy and environmental activities, especially with the support of the local government. Among those people, some just want to cling to Shasha to become famous too.
Shasha was not only well known in Indonesia but at the world level. She gained worldwide recognition because of her community environmental action program on World Environment Day, which was an important event followed in the United Nations in its programs to raise environmental awareness and promote political attention and action at the world level.
Shasha had succeeded in getting many people involved and taking the opportunity to be part of global action in voicing protection of the earth and the use of natural resources and inviting people to change their environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Wasn't that wonderful? Who was not on par now? Regina didn't realize powerful people were moving the media!
Mr. Rahmat was surprised by the news that published Shasha's name, she became the center of everyone's attention.
To be famous like that One had to put a lot of effort, money, and time.
For a while, the news of Shasha turned attention to the stage art scene next week.
Of course, this affected Maya Agustin.
How many decades of effort did Maya Agustin spend to become famous and influential in the world of entertainment and politics? But now, all of that was defeated in an instant by Shasha, a biological child, whom she did not dare admit as her own.
Shasha gave a slap so hard that Maya Agustin fell crying in her room helplessly regretting her past.
Elsewhere in a villa on a lonely mountain.
Her father, Mr. Isaac Ibrahim smiled with satisfaction, he was able to beat her daughter until she had to accept the fact to recognize Shasha as her granddaughter.
At her grandmother's house, Shasha enjoyed her grandmother's message until she fell asleep.
In the silence of the night, Maimunah received a call from someone she always avoided, her husband who had cut many wounds in her heart.
Mrs. Maimunah took the call coldly. Her husband paid off all his sufferings by being separated from his children and grandchildren.
****
Mrs. Maimunah recalled her past. Her life used to be simple, married at a young age to a handsome young man with the face of an Indo-Dutch, the son of a coffee plantation owner without the blessing of his parents, this made Mrs.
Maimunah a disobedient child who caused her mother to die. Maimunah's mother had a heart attack when her beloved child ran away from home. This young couple then lived in Jakarta.
It's just that this couple was caught by Isaac Ibrahim's family. Isaac was forced to leave Maimunah.
Mr. Isaac was forced to marry Rosalia, the daughter of a general.
Maimunah was kidnapped by Rosalia and threatened not to see Isaac again. Isaac thought Maimunah left him, he did not know that Maimunah was pregnant.
Maimunah was forced to hide otherwise her father along with the child in her womb would be killed.
Maimunah's father eventually died and never saw their daughter again.
Maimunah was finally able to escape and give birth in a remote village in Bogor.
That was why Maimunah always moved places not because she was hiding from Maya or Rahmat but to protect Shasha from Rosalia's family. Maimunah dared to come out to the surface because Rosalia had died 2 years ago. Rosalia and Isaac have a son, but unfortunately, the child died in a plane crash one year before Rosalia died, leaving the lonely Isaac Ibrahim with great wealth. What is the meaning of wealth when his heart is suffering?
Then came Maya Agustin who brought evidence about him and his mother.
Maya Agustin stole her mother's marriage certificate and photos of her mother's father in her youth.
Maya also did a DNA test to prove herself to be her daughter.
