Princess flanking her new toy under armpit. Although every now and then, the toy came off because it was too big. With a small run, the Princess headed to the park that is always used by children who love skateboarding to play there.

"Hi, Bang Dino!" greet the Princess to a boy who is three years older than her.

"Hi, Put!" dino replied while waving her hand. A second later, Dino's gaze was locked on a skateboard that was being held by the Princess.

"Well, you got a skateboard, Put?" exciting Dino.

"Yes, here. New," answered the Princess approaching the crowd of boys whose average age was above the Princess.

"Look, Put!" said Dino again.

The princess then handed over her skateboard to Dino and friends. All the Princess friends were amazed to see the new skateboard owned by the Princess.

"Finally, mom, you can skateboard, Put?" Dino asked again.

"Emm .. not really, Bang," replied the Princess.

"Well, here!" Point Dino at the skateboard he's holding.

"Oh, it's given to you by your grandfather" said the Princess.

"Grandfather sir?" repeat Dino while frowning. "Your grandfather?" ask Dino.

"No" answered the Princess briefly.

"Then?" Apparently Dino was getting curious.

The princess shakes both of her shoulders. "Not knowing, Bang. The princess also does not know, but the person is nice. The proof is that she loves the Princess," said the Princess, her chin pointing at the skateboard still held by Dino.

"Oh, that's it. You're so lucky, Put. Come on, let's teach you how to skateboard!" bring Dino.

The night is crawling. After prayers in the mosque, Tuan Jaya walks around the village to remember the good times while living with his late wife in the village.

Arriving in front of a simple house, Mr. Jaya stopped his steps. He stared at the whitewashed house that still looked neat, even though the wooden fence around him looked weathered.

"I'm sorry, Arya. I was a friend who was never useful. Even I can't keep your daughter who incidentally is my own daughter-in-law. I was really stupid, too trusting in what was seen without first finding out the truth" murmured Mr. Jaya. Without feeling clear bulir already pooled in both corners of his eyes.

Tuan Jaya was stunned when she felt a soft pat on her shoulder.

"It's late, sir, we'd better get home. The air is already very cold," said Mr. Munir who had been faithful to follow his master.

Mr. Jaya looked over. A faint smile was etched on his lips. "Hmm, you're right, Nir. Cold weather is also not good for our old health," said Mr. Jaya.

"Hehehe, you're right, sir," said Mr. Munir, chuckling.

"Yes, let's go home!" continued Mr. Jaya.

The employer and the driver who was like a friend were again walking side by side towards the house of Aki Surya.

Sunday morning. The princess was getting ready to go back to the park to learn skateboarding. Yesterday, he had an appointment with Dino to practice skateboarding. The daughter of a beginner in this game. However, his desire to become a reliable skateboarder, made the Princess train in earnest.

"Ma, the princess wants to play in the park. Can you, right?" ask the princess when she has breakfast together.

"Where? Okay, can't Ma?" The princess began to put on a cute face to melt the heart of her beloved mother.

"Yes, but breakfast was right. Mama does not want to yes, you continue to skateboard until you forget the time" said Gintani.

"Yes Ma, yes" replied the Princess. The little girl began to sit and wait for her mother to prepare breakfast.

Meanwhile, somewhere else. Mr. Jaya said goodbye to his mother-in-law to visit his late wife's grave.

"Breakfast first, Jay!" tawang Enin Ifah's.

"Yes, Mom. Later, just come home from the tomb," replied Mr. Jaya.

"You're going to the tomb today?" ask Enin Ifah again.

Mr. Jaya nodded. "Yes, Mom. Mumpung Jaya is still here as well" he replied.

"Oh yes already. But don't be long, son. We will have breakfast together" said Enin Ifah.

Mr. Jaya nodded his head again. A moment later, he left the house. Arriving at the front yard, Mr. Munir had been faithfully waiting for him beside the car. He opened the back door for his master.

"Are we going straight to the tomb, sir," said Mr. Munir after sitting on the steering wheel.

"Go ahead, Nir," replied Mr. Jaya.

"Good, Sir."

Mr. Munir started the car engine and drove it out of the yard of Aki Surya's house. After passing the journey for 20 minutes, the car driven by Mr. Munir arrived at the foot of the hill of memory. Mr. Munir then started looking for a safe place to park his vehicle.

"Do I want to call ojeg, sir?" asked Mr. Munir shortly after he turned off the engine.

"No need, Nir. Let me walk" replied Mr. Jaya.

"Alright, Sir. Then, I'll accompany you" said Mr. Munir.

Mr. Jaya nodded. Also get off the car. Waiting for a moment, Mr. Munir. Until a while later, they walked side by side to the family cemetery located behind a hill of memories

Tuan Jaya continues to climb the path that is quite uphill. Although occasionally he stopped because of the breathing that began to sting. However, all that did not discourage Mr. Jaya's steps to pilgrimage to the grave of his late wife.

After walking for half an hour, finally Tuan Jaya arrived at the top of the hill. For a moment he took a deep breath to inhale the fresh air of the mountains. Stop for a moment, let go of fatigue. Ten minutes later, Mr. Jaya continued down the hill to the family cemetery.

Arriving there, Mr. Jaya immediately crouched in front of the pusara of his late wife. While Mr. Munir stood a few meters behind Mr. Jaya.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. How are you, Bun!" tuan Jaya's greeting broke the silence.

His hands were starting to wrinkle, but still looked burly, rubbing the navel with a sad look.

"I'm sorry Daddy just got to see Mommy. You know, maybe Dad has been very outrageous because he could not take the time to visit Mother, even if only once a year. However, every time Dad always prayed. May God always give the best place for Mother," continued Mr. Jaya, again stroking his wife's navel.

"Dad also apologized for being negligent in educating Adi. I'm sorry, Bun. All this time, I thought that the material that I gave to Adi was enough to make Adi happy. However, in reality, Adi was not happy with all the material. In fact, he had grown into an arrogant and unruly figure. Until finally, the women became victims of his arrogance. Ah, Bun .. I don't know how many women are victims of the selfishness of our son. Really, Dad himself doesn't know. Maybe Dad's negligence also made Adi behave like that." Tuan Jaya recounted what she felt, in front of the late Goddess's tomb.

"In fact, due to Father's negligence as well, we have to lose our granddaughter, Bun. The grandson that Dad always misses his laughter. Dad's confused, Bun. I don't know where else to look for our daughter-in-law and granddaughter. There's not a single clue. In fact, the husband and wife of Wira's father's household assistant also do not know where Gintani is. It feels like all this weight is too heavy, Bun. Coupled with the act of Adi who turned out to have a son from another woman. The woman who might just be him is the same person who wiped out the life of our adopted son. To be honest, Dad did expect the presence of a grandchild, but not from the results of an affair. Moreover, Adi's relationship with the killer. Pain, Bun. It hurts so bad I remember all Adi's behavior."

In front of the late wife's pusara, Tuan Jaya spilled all of his heart.
