The sun had started to rise in the eastern horizon but the air was still cold in this village. Sports morning walk accompanied Bu Sri, Dewi felt her life was not always bad. They several times saw villagers passing by seem to wonder who the woman who walked beside Bu Sri even so the villagers looked friendly and greeted Dewi as well.
"Maybe this is just the beginning so the residents still feel foreign to the Goddess, but later must also be accustomed. People are doing great here, son." Bu Sri tries to calm the awkward-looking Goddess while being the center of attention of the villagers.
"I feel bad for Ms. Sri and Mr. Suryo, I feel troublesome here. Especially if I am pregnant here. Must be people thinking of the no-no." Reveal Dewi lowered her head, regretting her decision to invite Pak Suryo to stay at her temporary home until her baby was born.
Having no relatives or anyone in the city of Yogya is the reason Dewi would take advice from Mr. Suryo rather than staying in a hotel. Being alone when pregnant is more risky. The goddess considered many things.
"Don't think, last night we were going to RT sir's house to make a permit report. So don't worry, son. I'm glad she has friends. About her if Ajeng school, mother so alone at home. Moreover, Ajeng came home in the afternoon because taking lessons also after school. And Danan, that kid rarely comes home. Go home during the harvest season only until the harvest is finished. Not until 3 days have returned to the capital. The reason his stall Ndak can stay a long time." Said Bu Sri at length, he snorted when telling his son.
Such a parent, do not expect money from his or her child. All I expected was the return of her son. Meeting his old child abroad is the most effective remedy to overcome his longing.
"Mas Danan in Jakarta since when is Bu?" Ask the Goddess, he was curious about the man who had just met her alone was already confident in guessing he would meet again. And his guess was right on target, there hasn't been an hour they turned out to meet again. Even a few months ahead the Goddess will stay at her house.
"It's been almost two years if Ndak is wrong, before his Danan did not open a stall there, initially he was manager at one of the restaurants. But for whatever reason, Danan was taken out. And finally chose to open his own business." Terang Bu Sri looked at the expanse of rice fields in front of her. For a moment he closed his eyes and breathed.
The goddess noticed the woman's face beside her. The woman whose face is calm and cool, friendly, still looks beautiful at her young age. The goddess looked like her mother.
"Kok so even talk about Danan ya son." Bu Sri awoke from her momentary daydream. Looking at the Goddess who is now staring at him.
"Mom is very similar to my mother" said Dewi.
Bu Sri smiled and rubbed the hair of the Goddess. "consider mother as your mother here. When I first saw Nak Dewi, I also felt like I was seeing my childhood friend."
The Goddess smiled, "please help her yes ma'am," the Goddess hugged the woman in front of her, she missed with her mother.
Before deciding to go here, Dewi had thought to go to her mother's house but Dewi did not want if later Edgar found her. Deciding to stay away from her husband temporarily was the right decision.
In addition to calming down, Dewi also gave time for her husband to think over all his mistakes. Does he have to live in Edgar? The goddess was doubtful about it. The shadow of the divorce that Edgar promised filled his head.

"That's a great taste mba, Thai tea in front of my school lost much the same Thai tea made mba Dewi." Like getting Karun hidden treasure, the teenage girl was so happy that she took a sip of Thai tea in her glass.
"That's good because it's free, you know, basic." Danan who had just arrived was sitting on the carpet.
"It's really good, try it if you don't believe!" Suslek Ajeng who did not receive his hair in the mess of the brother.
Just want to pour Thai tea for Danan, along with Danan who wants to pour Thai tea. Their touching hands were inevitable.
The Goddess and the danan looked at each other for a while until the Goddess came to her senses and withdrew her hand.
"I just pour the mas" said Dewi, Danan hastily pulled his hand from the teapot.
"Thank you" said Danan received a glass from the Goddess.
"Mba Dewi often for Thai tea?" Tanya Ajeng broke the awkward feeling between the Goddess and Danan.
"Often, I have several branches in Jakarta and Bandung." Dewi replied making Ajeng surprised at once takjup.
Danan, from his father's story. This goddess is the wife of a wealthy businessman. No he guessed it turned out that the Goddess was a girl from simple circles. She thought this Goddess was also not much different from her husband who came from a distinguished family.
"Great blessing mba Dewi, women, independent and great. Ajeng also wants to be like the goddess mba. Have your own business and have many employees" said the girl. Ajeng aspires to be a businessman when all his friends aspire to be soldiers, police, doctors, and even presidents. But the girl instead chose to become an entrepreneur and become the boss of many employees.
While Ajeng and Dewi were busy telling stories, Danan was unceasingly amazed about the other side of the woman in front of him. He stole a few glances at the goddess. He didn't realize that someone was watching him.

On the way to the taxi headquarters, Edgar finds out who the driver was driving the taxi that Dewi was riding. Because from there, it would be easier to figure out the whereabouts of his wife.
"What! How come?" Edgar squeezed his hair, a second feeling the fresh breeze, now he had to swallow the disappointment back.
"Let's remember the gar" Dava said "can you tell us where the driver lives and what's his name?"
"Awhile sir," the woman's receptionist deftly checked on her laptop.
Inside Edgar's car was unceasingly swearing, Dava who was next to him could only sigh violently. Facing the anger of his employer there will be no end to him. He chose to focus on the road ahead.
"Prepare tickets for me to Palembang, I'll be there right now." Edgar's word to Dava.
"It is not better to wait until the uncle's men get information gar. After all, the uncle also sent his men to Bandung. Be patient and wait for information from them. If Dewi is not in Bandung then we fly to Palembang." Dava tried to think calmly.
"I can't be patient dav, what if the Goddess and my baby are okay. I can't imagine if that happened. I'm going crazy dav!"
"Think of the possibility of others also gar, maybe the Goddess needs time to calm down. Not necessarily when you find her she wants to come back to you. Even I'm not sure if the Goddess forgives you. Your mistake was fatal gar. Realize it!"dava said with annoyance, telling Edgar that he had reminded him of Risa's cunning intentions, but Edgar did not believe it.
"I don't care if the Goddess forgives me or not. The important thing is that I can see that it's okay. I just want to make sure it's okay."
Dava sharpened his vision, "for you to cry?" I can't believe Dava stopped the car.
"How's this dav, I know my mistakes can't be forgiven. But I love Goddess dav. Sincerest. I want her by my side."
Dava could see clearly from behind the man's trembling back. Patting gently on Edgar Dava's back could see if Edgar was truly sorry.
Hurry up to pick up the phone as it rings. Edgar wiped his tears violently.
"Have you found my wife?" Edgar asked impatiently.
But from the look on his face, it looks like Dewi is not in Bandung. Edgar turned off his phone unilaterally and lowered his head back.
"We're going to Palembang now gar, I've booked a ticket." Dava. "You must gar spirit, for the sake of the Goddess and your baby. You must prove to the Goddess that you are truly sorry. Show your love this way." Dava. He also could not bear to see Edgar's situation like this. While I was with Edgar. He never saw his best friend so desperately.

Arrive in a city famous for its mpek-mpek. Edgar and Dava decided to immediately find the address that the receptionist had given them.
The car drove by the address, stopping in front of one of the modest houses. The arrival of Edgar and Dava surprised the homeowner who was washing the motor in the yard.
"Excuse me sir, is this Mr. Hasan's house?" Dava asked, he observed the man before him.
The man who was under his height was washing the motor. Stare at him with a confused look.
Not yet answering Dava's question, the man looked back as the little boy around age 7 called and approached him.
"Dad, did you finish washing the mo..tor?" The little boy hid behind his father's body when he saw Dava and Edgar.
"Vian go in first, yes, I have a guest." Said the father to his son who immediately nodded and entered the house.
"Truly I am Hasan, what is it sir?" Ask Mr. Hasan.
"Do you work as a taxi xx driver in Jakarta?" Dava asked again he wanted to make sure no one was wrong
"Right sir" replied Mr. Hasan honestly, he felt no stranger when he saw this edgar before him. While remembering, he realized he had seen Edgar's photos on television and the internet. But he was confused, what business does a businessman meet his only taxi driver.
"Can we talk for a minute, sir?" Dava asked, he started to feel hot standing outside the fence.
"May sir, let's go in." Mr. Hasan.
