About Dr. Samsi
Sukaesih decided to leave her son in a hospital where her ex lover—Dr. Samsi—works. She hopes her son could get a decent education. With Leo's trickery, Samsi finally agreed to take Sukaesih's son as Sugiat, his son with Sundari who had just died. Sugiat grows up, becomes a lawyer, without knowing the truth about his true mother and the child exchange tragedy in the past. Returning to Indonesia, Sugiat handled the case of Sukaesih who was accused of killing Leo, her own husband. Will Sugiat be able to exonerate Sukaesih from charges? Did Samsi finally realize that Sugiat was his own biological son?
