"God damn it!" shrieked a gray-haired man when he received news that his son-in-law's house was no longer inhabited.
That day, Mr. Henderson had planned to destroy his son-in-law's house.
He was eager to teach a lesson for Jesseline's reckless actions. Moreover, it concerns the good name of his extended family.
[Search for them until you find them. If possible, make a competition to find the whereabouts of Jesseline and her child.]
Mr. Henderson sent a message to someone who a few minutes ago gave the news about Miss Jesseline's absence at home. This habit has existed since the beginning. Where he will do anything to get what he wants.
The atmosphere in the morning at Mr. Henderson's house looks so relaxed. His wife is still busy with the kitchen. While some of his children have been out since the evening.
The air that morning was not too cold for Mr. Henderson. Coupled with the emotions that suddenly ignited that morning. The increasingly frail body seems to never give up on embracing something. The wrinkles on his face didn't affect his intelligence at all. Truly, Shakira's grandfather cannot be underestimated.
"Today there is a first trial for Bram and Smith. I'm afraid we too will be thrown into prison," said Grandma Sherine, who was walking with the help of a cane.
At that time, she approached her husband who had been seen massaging his temples. He also did not forget to bring a plate of snacks to prop up the stomach in the morning.
It wasn't just Grandma Sherine who was overly anxious. However, Mr. Henderson was already worried about something that might happen in the future.
"I hate Jesseline so much!" exclaimed Mr. Henderson with a face full of emotion.
At the first trial, they both did not want to be present in it. They are still confused about what kind of testimony they will give. Moreover, they do not have any evidence to defend their two children who were caught by the police a few days ago.
They are also worried that they will be caught in the case. Moreover, there is evidence from Mrs. Jesseline which is being studied by the judges who handle Livie's case. It's not impossible that Livie's case and Fajar's beating will be linked. Because, there is a lot of evidence that points to his family.
However, Mr. Henderson has hired a lawyer who will accompany Mr. Bram and Smith's trial process. Despite the hope that he would be free from the case, he was determined to do everything he could.

"Thank you for your help last night," said a woman who was holding a flat purple object close to her ear. She seemed to be making a phone call to someone.
That woman was none other than Miss Jesseline. In fact, the sun was already rising, but she had just woken up from his sleep. His eyelids were drooping, and she was surrounded by dark circles around his eyes.
At that time she was on a phone call with his best friend, Mrs. Eveline. Because, last night Mrs. Eveline had provided assistance to him.
Moments later, the phone call ended. Mrs. Jesseline also had to clean up the things she brought last night.
At that time, Mrs. Jesseline and her child were in a house that had not been occupied for a long time. The location is also far from the noise of the city. The house is Mrs. Eveline's house, which was deliberately lent to her best friend.
"I don't know what my fate will be without Eveline," the sad-eyed woman muttered after she finished packing her things.
She feels indebted to Mrs. Eveline. His mind then returned to the events that happened last night. Where he was in a state of severe fear knowing that his grandfather Shakira would commit a crime in his father's house.
***
"Hello! Eveline! Help me!" said Mrs. Jesseline, her voice shaking with fear.
Beside him, Shakira was seen sobbing in her tears. Her state of heart was also as frantic as the middle-aged woman who was talking on the telephone line.
"What are you doing, Jesseline?" The female voice on the phone also sounded worried about something.
She is Mrs. Eveline, Mrs. Jesseline's best friend since her higher education at a well-known university in France.
At that time, Mrs. Eveline was already lying on the bed. She want to close my eyes and enjoy the beauty of dreamland. However, she was suddenly startled by the ringing of his cell phone which sounded a little loud.
"Help me, Eveline!" cried Mrs. Jesseline without explaining what had happened to her.
Mrs. Eveline also looked confused.
"How can I help you if you don't answer my question?!" cried Mrs. Eveline who had no intention of scolding her best friend. She just needed an explanation in order to be able to provide help.
Mrs. Jesseline then took a deep breath. Set his mood and thoughts for a moment so she could tell Mrs. Eveline something.
"Bram's parents already know my testimony to Livie's case. He doesn't accept it and wants to take revenge on me by harming Shakira and me," said Mrs. Jesseline in a rather fast tone.
The condition of her heart that was still frantic after calming her daughter down, made Mrs. Jesseline unable to think calmly. All of his father-in-law's evil plans seemed to be getting closer to him.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Eveline, who clearly heard Mrs. Jesseline's irregular breathing, tried to give words of reassurance. She didn't want his friend to do something that would endanger himself. Because, Mrs. Eveline understands, in such difficult conditions, it is certain that oxygen will not enter the brain properly. Which in the end will lead to decisions that are out of control.
"You calm down first. Hold your breath for a moment! Don't panic!" asked Mrs. Eveline in a rather harsh tone.
Then, Mr. Vincent who had been sleeping beside him suddenly woke up from his sleep. He heard a deafening noise.
"What's the matter, ma'am," said Mr. Vincent, so softly that he realized his wife was on the phone.
However, he felt a little strange when he saw the look on his wife's face which was like a frightened person.
Mrs. Eveline, who was focused on the female voice on the phone line, only turned her face for a moment to her husband.
"Where are you now?" asked Mrs. Eveline.
Mrs. Jesseline, who had calmed down a little, immediately looked around the street. Look for street signage that is usually displayed clearly.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Jesseline was finally able to find the name of the street where she had stopped her car. She then told Mrs. Eveline quickly.
Mrs. Eveline is certainly no stranger to the path that her best friend has mentioned.
"You calm down, wait for me there, okay!" said Mrs. Eveline who a moment later hung up the phone.
She then rushed to take his thick jacket in the closet. Then, look for the car keys that are usually hung near the door by her husband.
"Where are you going, ma'am?" asked Mr. Vincent who found his wife looking so rushed.
However, Mrs. Eveline never answered. Turns out, he was looking for another key in a box in his closet.
"There is a friend of mine who is in need of help, Dad. But I can go alone. You, just take care of Hilda, okay," said Mrs. Eveline, who a second later had disappeared from before Mr. Vincent.
With hasty steps, Mrs. Eveline immediately drove her car at high speed. Since it was late at night, the streets felt like their own. Because, there are not many vehicles that pass in the middle of the night like that.
Fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Eveline had arrived at the road that Mrs. Jesseline had told her about. She looked around for a moment. Looking for Mrs. Jesseline's car which she said stopped on the side of the road.
"Ah, there she is!" shrieked Mrs. Eveline as her vision caught a car that had stopped not far from hers.
She immediately brought his car closer to Mrs. Jesseline's car. Quickly, she opened the car door and approached his friend.
"Jesseline!" Mrs. Eveline shouted from outside while tapping on the car window.
Mrs. Jesseline, who was happy with the arrival of a friend like a helper for her, immediately opened the window of her car.
"This is my house key and this is the address. You can occupy it first. I'm sure the place is safe for you and Shakira," said Mrs. Eveline in a hurried tone of voice as she handed over a piece of paper along with her house key.
Mrs. Jesseline, who felt very helped by Mrs. Eveline, spontaneously burst into tears of emotion. She felt so lucky to have a friend as loyal as Mrs. Eveline who in the middle of the night like this still wanted to help him.

"Mom!" A familiar voice from Shakira managed to break her mother's thoughts.
She was surprised by the attitude of his mother who had been standing alone. In fact, Shakira had called the middle-aged woman almost twenty times.
"Mom why?" Shakira asked when she saw that her mother had awakened from her long daydream.
Mrs. Jesseline stuttered when her daughter asked that. In fact, as she remembered, Shakira was still fast asleep a few minutes ago.
"It's okay, son," answered Mrs. Jesseline who deliberately lied to her daughter. After all, the daydream didn't really matter to Shakira either.
She then took a deep breath. Then, decided to immediately go to the bathroom. It felt like all the sweat that had stuck to his entire body wanted to be washed off immediately with soap and water.
"I will never forget your kindness, Eveline," muttered Mrs. Jesseline as she walked to the bathroom in her bedroom.
