"So Aleysa is crying like this because Hans left this house with Emily? Hans has gone too far. Emily too. I have to do something," Ershad thought in his heart.
Then after that Ershad immediately left leaving everyone there to go to the pavilion. Ershad couldn't bear to see Aleysa cry like that just because of Hans and Emily's attitude. Ershad will do something to keep Hans and Emily from leaving.
*******
Tonight Hans and Emily are in Hans car. The two of them will go somewhere and live together. But while on the way, Emily receives a message from Ershad which makes Emily feel a dilemma. And the message reads :
[Emily. You're back home right now. Tell Hans to go back to his house. If you are determined to go with Hans, I will not hesitate to reveal all your secrets to Hans and his family if you already have children.]
"Less beating. How dare Ershad threaten me like this. But what if Ershad is determined to tell Hans later? How can Hans be angry with me. Not only angry. What is there is Hans going and leaving me. No, no. This is all wrong can happen," Emily thought to herself.
Hans saw the very tense look on Emily's face. Hans immediately asked her.
"Why are you, dear? What are you thinking about? How come you have a lot of thoughts like that, huh?"
"No. I don't know why. But I just want to go home. You can go home too, honey."
"What? Home? Why did you suddenly ask me to go home? Weren't you the one who asked me to fight for our relationship?"
"Yes, I know. But I guess we don't have to go like this. We can still have a relationship as usual. I also don't want your family to hate me because of all this."
"But Emily..."
"Hans, I beg you. Let's go back to our respective places, shall we?"
"Fine if that's what you want. I will take you to your apartment, okay?"
"Yes."
Because Emily was afraid of the threat that came from Ershad, Emily finally complied with all of Ershad's wishes. Emily and Hans were going back to their respective homes. Emily still didn't want Hans and the others to know that Emily already had a child from a previous marriage.

Aleysa kept thinking about Hans leaving. Aleysa has no appetite and can't sleep. At nights like this Aleysa was still sitting in the garden behind Hans house. From a distance, Ershad saw Aleysa who kept dreaming. He felt sorry for Aleysa.
"Poor Aleysa. She is a very good woman but Hans just wasted. But you don't have to be sad anymore Aleysa. Because I'm sure Hans will come home soon," Ershad said in his heart.
Ershad also did not stay silent seeing Aleysa crying alone like that. Ershad took a hand puppet and played it in front of Aleysa in the tone of a typical storyteller.
"Hello. Why are you sad?"
"Yeah, I'm still sad."
"Why are you sad? You can't be sad. If you're sad, you will be beautiful later."
"It's okay my beauty is gone. I don't care."
"But don't you really care about the people who love you? There are still many people who love you. If they knew you were sad like this, they would surely be sad too."
"Oh yes, yes."
"Yeah that's why you don't be sad anymore okay."
"Yeah, I promise I won't be sad anymore."
"Well then."
Aleysa chuckled at Ershad's behavior this time. Ershad also felt relieved because he had managed to put a smile on Aleysa's lips even though it was very small. At least Aleysa's sadness lessened a bit.
"Well then, don't be sad," said Ershad.
"Hehe. I was just thinking about Hans."
"Why do you have to think about Hans? He doesn't even think about your feelings, does he?"
"Yes. But after all, Hans is my husband. Besides, I also have to keep my Father's will."
"A will from Father? What do you mean?"
"I... Yes. It was my will not to divorce from Hans."
Aleysa almost slipped up if Hans was the one who hit her Father. Fortunately, Aleysa was able to give reasons that made Ershad believe with the reasons given by her.
"Oh, I see. But if you're not happy, it will just make you depressed."
"No. I don't know why."
It turned out that from a distance there was also Catline who saw the two of them alone in the garden behind the house. Catline smiled to herself as she thought of something.
"It's true, Aleysa's Sister is more suitable with Ershad Brother, who is gentle, caring like this. Instead of Hans, you can only eat your heart," said Catline in her heart.
After that Catline went to Aleysa and Ershad in the park.
"Hey Sis. Just be alone," said Catline.
"Here Catline. Sit with Sister."
"But if you look at it, you two are perfect."
Aleysa immediately rolled her eyes in front of Catline. Aleysa didn't like it when Catline spoke like that. Moreover, she was currently speaking in front of Ershad directly.
"Catline. What are you talking about. Not polite. Ershad, I'm sorry for this attitude of my Sister."
"Yeh, why are you apologizing? That's true."
"Catline."
"Yeah, yeah sorry."
"It's okay. Catline might actually like me," Ershad teased.
"Well, yes. It could be."
Catline who did not accept immediately spoke up.
"What the hell. Why is it me? It's okay, Ershad, just go there. Sis Aleysa, let me accompany you."
"Hahaha. Yes, yes. I will go first."
"Yes Ershad. Thank you for comforting me."
"Yeah, you're welcome Aleysa."
Finally Ershad entered the pavilion where he lived which was next to Hans house. Meanwhile, Aleysa and Catline chose to stay in the garden behind the house.
"Come in, Ss. It's late. The night breeze is not good for you. What will happen if you get sick?"
"I don't want to, Catline. You still want to stay here. You want to wait for Hans to come home."
"Oh my God, Sis. Why are you waiting for Bro Hans to come home? Did you not hear what Bro Hans said earlier? Bro Hans said he was not going back to this house and he preferred to go with the snake woman, Sis."
Suddenly the sound of Hans's car was heard all the way to the back garden. Aleysa, who had been waiting for Hans return all this time, was very happy. It turned out that what she had hoped for had finally come true. Hans came home too.
