After cleaning up and changing clothes, Yuna and Elkan sat down on the floor mat. Both of them looked funny wearing clothes lent by the father's wife.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. The name of Mr. Sobri, and this is the wife of Mr. Asih." said Mr. Sobri who was sitting next to his wife.

"Pak Sobri, Ms. Asih, thank you very much for your help. I'm Elkan, and this is ist..," Elkan paused his speech, his eyeballs rolling wildly thinking about what he should say.

"This is Yuna" Elkan continued, pointing to Yuna sitting next to him.

"Are you lovers, or even husband and wife?" ask Mr. Sobri to know.

"No...,"

"Yes...,"

Elkan and Yuna suddenly fell silent for giving a different answer. The two looked awkward and glanced at each other.

"Well, why is the answer different?" asked Bu Asih while linking his eyebrows.

"Oh yes, no need to talk about it! We better eat first!" invite Mr. Sobri who does not dispute that.

"Come on Yuna, Elkan, don't hesitate! Hopefully you both like the cuisine of the village like this." said Bu Asih.

"No problem Mom, you can just eat thanks." said Yuna with a small smile.

Although the food before them was simple, the warmth of the family made Elkan feel a slap in his face.

Someone who lives simply, has so much love in it. While he who lives with treasure, can not even feel the love of his life.

"Are you two alone in the middle of this forest?" ask Elkan while enjoying the food.

"No, we have a son. Now he is going fishing" replied Bu Asih.

"Fishing? How was the night?" ask Elkan curiously.

"If the fish day is sleeping, it is difficult to get it." continued Mr. Sobri while chuckling.

"Oh yeah, I think fish that day." Elkan chuckled along, then scratched his head which did not itch at all.

"Yes, you guys just continue eating it! You want to catch up with Alvi first, if you are tired of sleeping in the room!"

Mr. Sobri rushed out of the house, he brought a fishing line and followed his son to the river. Tonight he has to get a lot of fish for tomorrow's side dishes.

After eating, Elkan and Yuna sat on the porch of the house. The two looked like old-age married couples. Elkan was wearing a shirt with brimless shorts, while Yuna was wearing a negligee belonging to Bu Asih.

"Mom, is there a tree house waiting?" ask Elkan while looking inside the house.

"No, Alvi made it for a place to relax in the afternoon." said Bu Asih from inside there.

"Can I sleep there?" ask Elkan for permission.

"Don't Elkan, it's cold in there! Just sleep in the room!" tawang Bu Asih's.

"It's okay Mom, I want to feel what it's like to sleep in the wild. Let Yuna sleep in the room!" sahut Elkan, then walked away leaving Yuna alone.

Upon his arrival up there, Elkan laid his body at the bottom of the floor. It seemed like a lot of pressure was bothering his mind.

His eyes looked brightly at the ceiling of the house made of rumbia. Without realizing it, the clear liquid just spilled in the corner of his eye.

Not long after, Yuna came to bring pillows and blankets at the request of Bu Asih. The middle-aged woman was afraid that Elkan could not resist the cold if he spent the night up there.

"Right," said Yuna who was already standing in front of the door.

Hearing Yuna's voice, Elkan immediately got up from his bed, then quickly wiped away the tears flowing down his cheeks.

"I was told by Bu Asih to deliver this pillow and blanket to you." said Yuna while thrusting the object into the hands of Elkan.

Elkan took the pillow and blanket from Yuna's hand. "Thank you, then go back down! You sleep in the room!" elkan said without the slightest expression.

Seeing that Elkan was so, Yuna's chest suddenly throbbed in pain. He was unable to see Elkan being so indifferent towards him.

"Hell, are you still mad at me?" lirih Yuna with an unusual look.

"No, why am I angry? I don't even have any rights over you. Come back down and sleep, tomorrow morning I will help you out of this forest!" clearly Elkan was without daring to look at Yuna's face.

"Help me? How about yourself?" yuna asked while frowning her brows.

"No need to think of me! I might not be coming back," Elkan replied in a trembling voice.

"Are you crazy? What about your company?" ask Yuna.

"There's Beno, let him manage that company! I don't want to go back there, after all I don't have anything left now." explained Elkan with teary eyes.

"Whatchu mean? Why talk like that?" yuna asked curiously.

"I'm sorry Yuna, I admit to being wrong. For the sake of my ambition to obtain grandfather's legacy, I have ruined your life." Elkan looked at Yuna with sadness.

"I married you because of grandfather's will, he wanted me to get married immediately so that all his inheritance would fall into my hands. But I took advantage of your father's bankruptcy to achieve my goals." Elkan's eyes grew red saying that.

"Now that I'm stuck in my own game, I'm afraid to part with you. Maybe this is karma for me, if possible please forgive me!"

"I admit defeat, I want nothing more after this. Even if all grandfather's inheritance will be donated according to his will, I don't mind. I'm about to start a new life, I wish you happiness with Reynold."

Elkan laid himself on the floor, then covered his body with a blanket.

"Does that mean you never wanted me?" yuna asked with teary eyes.

"It doesn't matter if I want you or not. You've found a better man than me, I can only wish you both the best. I just want to see you happy, that's more than enough." explained Elkan with a voice increasingly hoarse.

"Are you sure you want to let me go?" yuna asked with tears beginning to flow in the corner of her eyes.

"What else can I do? You love each other, obviously I lost. I don't even have a place in your heart, what else do I expect?" Elkan hid his face inside the blanket, he did not want Yuna to see how devastated she was saying that.

"Go rest in the room, you can get sick if you breathe the air late at night!" get Elkan.

"No, I'll just sleep here with you!" yuna Sahut.

Hearing that, Elkan rushed to wipe his face, then got up from his bed.

"Alright, then sleep here!" Elkan moved from his position and moved towards the door.

"Sleep, gather the energy for tomorrow!"

After Yuna lay down, Elkan covered his wife's body so as not to get cold, then crawled towards the veranda.

"Why go?" ask Yuna.

"I'm not going, I'm outside. Just sleep!" answer Elkan from out there, then lay his body at the bottom of the floor.

"Elkan," call Yuna.

"Hmmm," muttered Elkan.

"Hell, I'm cold. Can you hug me?" pinta Yuna with lips that were already shaking.

Elkan got back up from his sleep, then closed the window door. Then close the main door so that no more air enters there.

"Sleep, all the doors are closed! I sleep outside, if there's anything call me!" elkan said as he opened the door.

"Don't go, sleep with me!" pinta Yuna held Elkan's hand.

"I can't Yuna, I'm afraid to cross my boundaries." rejected Elkan who was afraid of losing his control.
