“Where is Yahya?” Hajjah Aisyah knocked on the door of the room. His son was almost invisible all day.
“Sri... Which yahya?” Hajjah Aisyah asked her personal assistant.
“Gus Yahya has not been seen since yesterday. Oh yes, Ummi Hajjah... Gus Yahya has not occupied this room for a long time, he used to sleep in a room near the stairs” Sahut Sri.
“Croom near the stairs? It was a narrow room. Why sleep there?!” Hajjah Aisyah frowned. Wonder.
“Please get backup door lock! I'll clean this room!”
Chequelek
Door opens. How surprised Hajjah Aisyah that the main room that Yahya should have occupied was now full of items. There are paintings and various knits!
“Ya Allaaah Sriiii... How messy! Where did these things come from?!” Pekik Hajjah Aisyah's.
“These things look like Gus Yahya ordered a special Mi.. But I don't know where it came from. These things come almost every week and he always neatly arranged like this!” Sri Sahut.
“But where are you from?! For a long time this room could be a garbage warehouse! Have Mr. Saleh bring all these things out to the Bottom Warehouse! If you need to burn it! and leave it to Maya to clean this room as usual!” Hajjah Aisyah's. He passed by massaging his temple.
"Baa.. Well Ummi Hajjah"

Iqlima brought a drink to the living room. Warm tea with snacks. He placed the glasses in front of Jelita's doctor and two young men who visited him. The movement of the iqlima lentic fingers presents a drink not separated from the eyes of Ilyas. Where the finger swings, the net moves.
Astarghfirullah's. Ilyas closed his privileged eyes in his heart. Iqlima's clean face looked sad and a little pale. Ilyas' gaze turned to Yahya. It encodes something.
“Hemm...” Yahya cleared his throat.
“Doctor Jelita, there's something I want to talk about”
“Ya?”
“Can we come out for a minute?” Pinta Yahya's.
“Ah okay” Doctor Jelita staring Iqlima. There's discomfort there.
“How have you been these past six months? Did you go through it with much difficulty?” Tanya Ilyas opened the conversation. Iqlima. He did not want to look at Ilyas. Iqlima is worried that his tears will return. He plays his fingers.
“I answered earlier” Iqlima replied firmly but with a vibrating voice.
“You're mad at me, hm?” Ask Ilyas again. If they are halal, it feels like he wants to drown the sweet girl in front of him into an embrace.
Outside, Yahya kicked at the rocky ground before him by laying his hands. Not just once. He did it repeatedly. His eyes from earlier looked towards the door that was wide open. Hope Iqlima gets out of there soon.
“You are worried about him..” Alleged Doctor Jelita who had just been silent to see Yahya's behavior.
“You don't want them together there”
“Hhhhh indeed they should have solved the problem” Sahut Yahya. His eyes were still pointing towards the door.
In the living room, Iqlima was more silent. He can only bow. His head felt dizzy thinking of the answer to Ilyas' question which he himself was actually sick of answering.
“Iqlima, not my desire to hurt you. In this case I was also injured” Ilyas said at last after floating a lot of questions.
“Six of this last month.I have to recover the pain in the heart when in fact I have a greeting. I misjudged you” Call the water directly dripped from the corner of Iqlima's eyes.
“I'm meeting you to apologize. I apologize for our bitter past relationship. I assume we both had nightmares due to misunderstanding” Secretly Iqlima smiled bitterly.
“Do you want to forgive me?” Iqlima's throat was choked again.
“In the last 6 months, many events I experienced. Honestly, I'm engaged to the girl chosen by you and ummi. I don't want any more misunderstandings between us” Iqlima's gaze turns to the ring that is coiled on Ilyas' ring finger.
“But…. I stay..”
“Ya... I also never expected you to come back!” Iqlima suddenly. He understood the direction and purpose of the Ilyas talk. The young man raised his head. Dumbstruck.
“Dan... events of today, meeting with you.. I never dreamed of it at all!” Iqlima. He got up and went to the door.
“I..Iqlima, where are you going? I'm not done talking!”
Seeing Iqlima who was already at the door, Yahya swiftly approached the girl.
“Iqlimaa... I have not finished talking..” Said Ilyas who was standing behind him.
“Bang Yahya, bang Yahya here to fulfill the promise of bringing Iqlima to Seulawah forest, right?” Ask Iqlima. His face was hopeful. Again the brown netra was sedating.
“I. yes.. We're going to the forest. I'll take you there..”.

High Court, Banda Aceh.
“With the available evidence, I declare that Teuku Hilman and the members involved were sentenced to 10 years in prison and a compensation fee of 300 million rupiah! Tuk tuk tuk” The presiding judge knocks the hammer.
“Abang has calmed down, Mak. We must be sincere... Abang get martyrdom reward... Brother has calmed down.” Mother nodded but her tears are getting broken. Tightness and pain. There were no words that could describe the condition of their hearts these past 6 months.
“Rais my son.. Hiks hiks hiks... Ummi sincerely son.. forgive ummi.. Forgive ummi who still cry” Lirih Rais's mother who looks thin with an increasingly sunken face.
On the other hand, the Hilman family was inflamed. The jaws of Ampon Din are hardened. His eyes are red. He followed a trial that had been held for months but only today found his hammer knock. This sentence is much lighter than the original demands of the Public Prosecutor, which is a life imprisonment.
“10 years?! What's Hilman doing in prison?! It's all your fault it's not good to educate a child!!” He pointed Ampon Din at his wife. He clenched his hands.
“Call the most famous lawyer in the whole land of Rencong! We're appealing! If necessary, come from the capital! Is it over lawyers in this country?!” Tell Ampon Din to his assistant. He came out of the trial with a disheveled face.
Hilman's two wives cried as a result.4 young children just kept quiet because they did not understand what problems their parents were facing.
“Mak..” The eldest 7-year-old wiped his mother's tears. Although he did not understand, the firstborn still tried to calm down.
Hilman was transferred to the official state detention room. He was immediately arrested after hearing the verdict. His sentence starts today.
“Wah.. there are new members!” The prisoners glanced at each other. Hilman sat closed his eyes. Mind road. He was thinking about how to spend time effectively in this narrow, stuffy room. Do not let him really languish for 10 years as mentioned.
“Hey, new kid... Here you are!” A large prisoner broke Hilman's concentration.
“La new trial!” Answer Hilman casually. He yawns while stretching his spine.
“Sial! Not much behavior! Here you!! I'm a senior here!!” The prisoner prepared his fist.
“What do you want?” Hilman. He stood up and shuddered to see a fist that was 3 times the size of his fist.
“Hmh.. Patience..! Let's classify the greatness of the level of crime committed. You're…. Yes, you're sitting in the corner there, what's your crime?!” Hilman pointed towards the thinnest prisoner. He lifted his chin up.
“I just stole some goat”
“Ck... May also your ability!”
“If you?!”
“I ransomed people”'s wife
“Hahaha.. Your taste is okay too. Good!” Hilman blurted out covering up the nervousness.
“If you?”
“I killed my wife with a crowbar because she was having an affair” The grim-faced prisoner said. The tall man looked beaten.
“Sadis... That you're senior? You're the most dashing here!”
“Hahaha did you ask me? Don't be surprised.I stole in the gold shop and broke into the atm machine. Usually never found out, somehow that time I fared” Sahut senior prisoner proud.
Damnit. It turned out that he stole the gold in Abu's shop. Wait retaliation. Inner Hilman.
“Hey, you asked about our crimes. What did you do yourself, huh?! If you only steal chicken, you better retreat from your pride style!”
“I…? Just a regular crime..”
“What is it? Don't talk too much! Quickly say!!”
“I.... seillet le.her someone right in his veins. Then I burned the man and his car” Sahut Hilman with a face made as angry as possible. The room suddenly quiet. The prisoners had trouble swallowing. Some of them are backing away.
“I didn't expect.. It turns out you are the Demon Master!!” The prisoner who killed his wife.
“Master,,,! "
"Please make us your students!!” Pinta senior prisoner with sparkling eyes.

Yahya drove the car that Iqlima had rented. This girl spent money from the sale of paintings and knits to finance their trip. Of course, Yahya was one of the buyers who almost bought all his works. In addition to this work, it is also marketed in the market.
Iqlima sat next to Yahya who was driving. They arrived on the North Sumatra-Aceh border. They have to travel another 11 hours to get to their destination. Ilyas observed Iqlima who had been chatting with Yahya while hugging the painting.
“Great, so this is your 67th painting?” Yahya glanced at the graffiti of the 67 writing that was beside the frame.
“Same is not great. I've done a lot of paintings. That's plenty! I don't know how many pencils are on display, watercolour paint, acrylic and paper as well as time wasted..”.Sahut Iqlima reminisces about the difficult times of making paintings to connect life.
“This painting is the 67th painting that I think is quite successful. 66 others have sold. I dreamt that one day I could have a gallery of paintings” Sahut Iqlima talking looking at Yahya. Seeing the twinkle of Iqlima's eyes, Ilyas who was sitting in the back seat was burning.
66 paintings. With me there are more than 35 paintings of his. The rest are sold. Waw. Yahya's heart murmured happily.
"Dreams can come true, but there are secrets. They are realized through the magic of perseverance, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus, and hard work. They happen step by step, manifesting for weeks even years. And the one who loves what you do. God willing you'll be on your way to success!" Yahya smiled. Iqlima. He was happy to have the support of Yahya.
"Stoopp!" Said Ilyas suddenly.
"Yahyeah... Stoppp!! Just stop! I'll drive in your place! You drove this car so recklessly!!" Tukas Ilyas with a furious tone.
