"We need to get back to our hometown, right now, Maya. Pack up fast and we have to get there soon" Fatma said, as Maya was still weeping.
The arrival of Fatma, managed to make Maya avert her gaze. The woman stopped crying, and rubbed her tears rough. What Fatma said, managed to make Maya's focus completely seized.
How not to be surprised? Fatma has kept Maya quiet ever since she found out she was a comfort woman. However, a curious Maya appears because Fatma talks to her all of a sudden.
"Mother, what Mother .... " Maya was unable to continue the question that was struggling in her heart. Maya draws the conclusion that her mother may have heard what Ditya said to her.
"We need to move again for now, Maya. We'd better go back to our hometown," Fatma affirmed once again, "Come, pack your clothes and Gavin."
"No way, Mom. First, we cannot be accepted anymore in the village, because we used to go also because we were expelled by the community. Second, Gavin had also just transferred schools for a few days. Third, Maya does not want to return to the memories that managed to destroy Maya. It's okay, Maya will face anyone who demeans us" Maya said, declining in a soft voice.
"Nobody's gonna make it out of us after this, Maya. Believe me, we can stand on our own land with our two feet, even though many are judgmental. I'll make sure you get justice, and the Darmadji Family will be judged" Fatma said with anger, "Don't worry, all will be well, mother who will guarantee our safety and future. Anyway, we won't be moving there for long. It's only a matter of time, until we have actually punished Aditya's mouth for saying you're a whore" Fatma added.
Maya can only shut up, silencing her mouth because of a sense of helplessness that makes her fragile. Remembering the incident a moment ago, it feels sore back to shackle Maya's heart.
It hurts, it hurts a lot and Maya can't stand the pain. If suicide did not lead to sin, Maya might have been more interested in killing herself, leaving behind bad luck and moving to another realm with a different dimension.
Unfortunately, there is Gavin that Maya is currently thinking about. He could not leave his son. Aditya will laugh happily to get Gavin after, if Maya ends her life just like that.
"Forget it, Mom. We'll never be able to fight the rich Darmadji family again. We are just a family of low caste ... " Maya did not continue to say, because the mother interrupted first.
"That will destroy and overtly bring down their family, Maya. Camn it! Don't worry, I'll meet someone who can crush those dirty mouths again, don't delay it, pack your things and we'll be back home tomorrow morning," the Fatma Commandments.
Maya is not struggling, can no longer argue for fear of wrong. For some reason, Fatma turned even stranger this way. At first Fatma had promised herself that she would not return to the hometown that gave a lot of grief and suffering.
"Did, the new mother meet Aditya on the road to the beach?" ask Maya later. The woman was suspicious of her mother's change.
"Yes, and I will prove Mother's words, that they will regret all their deeds after this! All this time I've been too tired to be stepped on by them, Maya. I was so tired of being treated this way, humiliated and receiving so much pain" Fatma replied.
Fatma's eyes glazed over. The shadow of the insults and blasphemies of the Darmadji family, so attached to his brain.

In a room of the border lodging room between us big and Maya's hometown, a girl was spoiling with a young man from the capital. Oh no, more precisely women, because the title of the girl is no longer worthy to be pinned on the woman.
She is Sherly Darmadji, Aditya Darmadji's younger sister who has just returned from work, and does not immediately return home, but instead goes to an inn with her lover, Mario.
The woman was so good at tricking the mother, Inayah, and said that she was in business that she needed to stay out of town. Stupidly, the mother believed, because Sherly always gave her monthly money after Sherly received the salary.
Another thing with Sherla who is more silent and afraid to do something that violates religious and community norms, Sherly is actually brave and able to turn the direction on the wrong path.
The woman who used to call Maya a prostitute, a lowly woman again a slanderer, in fact is now in the middle of a body, giving freely her honor as a woman, to a man who does not want to be introduced to the Darmadji family.
The sweat of both was scattered, wetting almost all bed linen and blankets that were silent witnesses. Not the first, even the woman had done this kind of despicable thing many times.
"When are you going to come to my parents? I need you to come propose to me as soon as possible. I'm tired of having to wait for you these two years" Sherly said sulking, as their hot game was just over.
"Patience in a moment. I'm saving a lot of money to propose to you, take you to the capital and have a home of my own. Be patient, in a moment," replied Mario, peeping Sherly's temple which was now leaning against the man's chest.
"You always promise that. Just get married first, home business, we get up together. My mom and dad will give you a little support later. Importantly, we got married and I didn't lie to my parents anymore like this. The more I lied, the more I felt uncomfortable and the more I was alert, the more I was afraid of being discovered" Sherly said.
Long-time Mario bored too, "every meeting if you always press me, I'm bored also long," said the young man.
A concern arises in Sherly's heart, fearing that later Mario will completely abandon himself because of himself.
"Well, I'm not gonna push you. I hope you won't fool me and lie. Because if that's the case, I can't guarantee my family's gonna be quiet" Sherly turned her back on Mario all of a sudden, with a raging feeling.
A catastrophe begins when a person starts playing with fire in his own field. Isn't this a catastrophe for the karma of Darmadji's own family, who have looked down on Maya?
