Akash and Rere are getting married, but Earth is restless. From today Earth officially resigns. Many regret her decision, but Ayesha understands why the Earth did it.
Whether or not Akash's marriage is cancelled, Bumi will still return to the village where he grew up. One suitcase is a sign that his words are not a figment.

"What kind of gift do you give to Akash?" ask Earth at Sea when they just finished dinner.
"But both have a lot of money." Sea Seloroh
"The gift is not how much it costs, but how much its intention and sincerity." Earth reminds me.
"What did you give me?" The sea asked.
"There's a secret, a secret...."
"What gift do you give me, I'm also confused about what gift?" Ayesha asked.
"No need to tell me, ah!" Earth is still keeping a secret about the gifts that will be given to Akash and Rere.
"We want to give you a gift what dong, Bang?" ask Ayesha.
"Later to think, there's still time. The show is the day after." Answer Akash.
Earth felt her heart slashed when she heard the words Sea which said the day after tomorrow was the marriage of Akash. Although a few days ago the Earth had ended everything, it was still a gaping wound. The tightness in his chest was still very pronounced.
"I went to the room first, wanted to wrap a gift. Good luck thinking about the gift." The Earth leaves both.
"Pity of the Earth, his heart must not be all right." Ayesha.
"The earth is stronger than you think." Sea Word.
Ayesha just nodded. He loved Earth very much even though it was only a sister-in-law but to him Earth was very precious. The attitude of the Earth that is always warm and cheerful always makes Ayesha comfortable in that house. Thinking of the Earth coming home incised a deep sadness in Ayesha's heart. In addition to losing the best nurse, she also lost the best sister.

In his room Bumi wholeheartedly wrapped the gift for Akash and Rere. A black peci for Akash and a pretty colored prayer mat for Rere. After writing sweet words on a small paper, Earth slipped them in the middle between the peci and sajadag.
An Earth smile appeared on his lips as he stuffed the two objects into the sky-blue gift box. The earth wiped the lid of her gift box and placed it on the table beside her bed.
Adhan isya reverberated to make him immediately take ablution and immediately perform the prayers of four rakaatnya. During the day Ummi had told him to pray before going to bed, but still forgot to do it.
A last do'a slurped from his lips.
*Allahumma Ya muqallibal quluub tsabit qalbi 'ala diinika
(O Lord of hearts, strengthen my heart in your religion*)

Morning greet with earthy bird chirping, the sky is already bright as early as this. The Earth was still wearing long pajamas as it descended downstairs. Seen the sea was enjoying tea and Ayesha was sipping her pregnant milk.
"You're both funny" commented Bumi. "Suami makes wife milk, wife makes husband tea." Her impression laughed while shaking her head.
"Funny where it is?" ask Sea.
"Yes why not do it yourself, brother Sea for his own tea. Ayesha's sister makes her own milk."
"Dibikin makes it feel different, the deck." Sahut Ayesha, the milk is now toilet.
"Lebay," ledek Earth.
"Well, if you're married, be a little bit too!" threaten the sea just stop joking.
"Look at you later, I'm afraid that's the case too." The claw of the Earth was greeted with laughter by the Sea and Ayesha.
A knock at the door followed by a greeting from someone made the three look at each other.
"Silver Sea open yes, I'm responsible for making sweet tea." Earth talks that are scooping sugar into a cup.
The sea just nodded as it opened the door. Healed to Akash's head as the door opened, there was no smile as usual. Both of his hands were bustling with white crackle packs.
"Having come early in the morning?" ask Sea.
"Breakfast, "" Akash replied as he entered through the Sea which was still standing.
Akash placed the two packages he carried onto the dining table. Earth and Ayesha just looked at each other. Earth reflexes holding his head. In the heart, it turns out that the head is covered with hijab.
"Go to the bengong, have breakfast together!" take Akash and pull one of the chairs and immediately sit on it.
Very stubborn, I told you not to show myself in front of me is still done.
The sea returned with an expanding smile to see Akash take out some food from the package he was carrying.
"Often quite gini," said the Sea directly glared at Ayesha.
The earth did not answer, its rough steps took two plates and gave them to Akash.
"We dong ready!" akash's protest didn't take when Earth held out the plate.
Still with a flat face, the Earth included the food that Akash brought. A few pieces of pastel, meat filling meat and coffee bread mainstay restaurant is there.
"Take dong, not just look!" akash exclaimed when the Earth was only still while the Sea had taken lontong and Ayesha of course bread.
The earth did not answer, his hand moved to take the bread. Slowly bite. It felt heavy chewing on it let alone swallowing it.
His mind was fixed on the incident a few days ago at Palmerah station
After Bumi said she wanted to end it all, Akash's hand grabbed her arm tightly and carried Earth to a waiting chair that was sprawled not far from where they were standing.
"Let go, sick tofu!" The earth is trying to shake.
"What did you say? end it?" akash asked with clasping teeth to hold back the anger. "You think it's that easy, huh?"
"Go ahead, brother!" pinta Earth with a face.
Finally Akash released his grip and punched the air in front of him.
"Can't you wait any longer?"
"Wait what?"
"Listen to Earth, Rere must have successfully annulled the marriage. You need to stay put."
"Even if the marriage is off you think we can be together?"
"You're making things complicated, Earth."
"But the truth is that, right, sister?"
"What truth?"
"You think this is a soap opera that when the bride cancels her wedding her role can be replaced with another woman?"
Akash was silent, in his mind. When Guntur came to bring fake news and the marriage with Rere was canceled. Then be the Earth that replaces Rere.
However, true to Earth, their life is not a soap opera. It is not that easy that his wish can be realized.
"Yes, brother. Let's end it all. We're separated today brother."
Akash did not reply, the fists from both hands were quite implying how angry he was.
"Until you meet on your wedding day. I hope you don't appear before me again before your wedding day. Remember me as your sister."
The long words of the Earth did not ignore Akash in the least. His ears don't want to hear all that.
"You know the way home? excuse me first!"
That day the Earth left him alone at the palmerah station. Leaving him with a million wounds in the heart. The earth brings all the love that he has been nurturing in such a way. Along the way home that Earth did on foot, his hands could not be separated from holding the chest.
Shattering in the chest it feels like he wants to let out through crying. However, he had already promised to be able to go against himself. Promise not to mourn this sorrow. Heartbreak is only time that can try it.
The earth broke into chewing its bread when Ayesha had even finished two pieces at once. The sea that saw it just shook its head, lucky this morning the nausea was not too great.
"What time do you leave for work?" ask Akash.
"The abbis is leaving immediately" replied the Sea.
"What time is it?" this time I asked Ayesha.
"Gue off today" Ayesha replied.
Akash was about to ask Earth, but stopped for the sake of seeing the girl still turning her face.
"Ok, I'll go back first. But, come back here again this afternoon." Akash said standing up.
"Earth, when the Sea is getting married, you make him noodles. I want to too. Later in the afternoon make it!"
The earth did not answer, just looked he was reluctant.
"Ok, if silence means yes."
The next second Akash actually left after saying his greetings and had time to look deeply into the face of the Earth who was not at all interested in looking at him.
