Alya started her new day with the most beautiful smile that adorned her bright face. All the feelings that have been buried in the heart, released with happiness that has filled the space of his heart.
"I have to get up and start living my life again. It feels like being reborn with a renewable spirit."
Alya prioritizes the healing of his father first, then later he plans to solve one by one the problems that are delayed due to his sudden return.
About Riko, Alya had decided not to prolong the dispute between them. He just wanted to be completely detached from the dark shadow of his past with the man.
After thinking about it all night, Alya decided not to sue her ex-husband for what he had done to her all along.
"Are you sure you're not going to take this matter to the authorities, Al?"
His father Riko even repeated his question several times over Alya's decision to release Riko without any demands.
"No, Dad. I don't want to prolong the trouble between us. I just want to live quietly after this."
"What if he's reckless with you again? It could be that he comes at any time and goes back to hurting your heart and body."
This time Riko's mother who wants to make sure again the decision that has been taken by the adopted child and his former daughter-in-law.
"I'm done, Mom. If that happens, then let him who will bear the consequences himself. Maybe it wasn't me who would act, it could be someone else who would save me and report it."
Alya remembered, when she wanted to come back here, Riko also came and tried to block her. Luckily the online taxi had arrived and the driver helped and saved him from Riko.
"After all, he was my husband. Especially Dad and Mom who are like my own parents. I cannot open my own family's disgrace. Let everything that happened pass with time."
Riko's mother hugged Alya tightly. Tears both spilled at the same time. His father looked at the two with tears. Since Alya was a child, both of them have loved her and considered her like their own child.
Alya was still trying to smile amidst her cries. He rubbed the back of a woman his age to calm and quench his sadness.
This is what always burdensome Alya heart and becomes his main consideration, whenever there is a desire to fight and report Riko for her persecution and arbitrary treatment.
Moreover, he had seen Riko's wife was now pregnant. Her little heart as a woman and her maternal instincts always lurked over her feelings so much that she could not bear it and chose to shut up and forget everything.

Three days later, Papa was allowed to go home and rest at home. Now the three of them had regrouped at home.
The childhood home where Alya was born, grew up and raised by his father and mother with abundant love and made him always feel true and complete happiness.
A house that bears a silent witness to her happy life amid the warmth and heartfelt affection of a family that loves and loves her unconditionally for all eternity.
The house that eventually became the beginning of his life, because in this house also Riko married him and then took him away to live their new life as a married couple.
The house is now controlled by Riko without the knowledge of his parents, because the man took possession of his property and pawned others.
"Are you sure you're gonna come back to live and work in that town, Al? Shouldn't you apply to be moved to another city, to be away from Riko?" mama asked while helping to put her beloved daughter's clothes in the suitcase.
Accompanied by her parents, Alya packed up to go home today. Everything is ready, just waiting for the car and driver sent by Riko's parents who will pick him up and take him to the airport.
From his seat, Papa still felt heavy-hearted to release his beloved daughter back to the city where she had lived all this time, which was far away from them.
"Papa believes Riko's parents have taken decisive action for their youngest child. Papa's only worried about you, Al."
Alya smiled and immediately approached her papa. Grasping the hand that had been dry and wrinkled and then kissed gently to calm the heart of the papa.
"How can we calm down if you are still in one city and the possibility of meeting it is very likely to happen as long as this ...."
"I can take care of myself, Pa. Besides, it's different now. Riko will think twice about repeating his actions, because there is his brother who will watch his movements and has taken ownership of his business."
Mama also approached until now Alya sat the middle of the two parents.
"Take care of yourself and if Riko comes and does something bad again, fight back and report everything to us or Riko's family. Let us act, if you still don't want to prolong this matter."
Alya nodded obediently and revealed her most beautiful smile. Mama tidied a simple hijab worn by her beautiful daughter then gave a kiss of affection on her forehead.
"You are an adult and can make your own decisions for the good of your life. We can only support and pray for you from here."
The car that picked him up had come and was waiting in the courtyard. Alya kissed the hands of Papa and Mama alternately then hugged them tightly.
"I have to go now. I'm saying goodbye, Pa, Ma."
The three of them stood up and walked out together. The driver of the Riko family, whom they knew well, approached and greeted, then picked up the suitcase that Alya had pulled in to put in the trunk of the car.
"Stay happy. Remember to tell us often and never hide the slightest thing from us!" Papa let go of his embrace and rubbed his daughter's head lovingly.
"Find a new happiness in your life, Al. I believe God will bless you with true happiness that will make you smile and laugh all the time."
Alya agreed to his mother's similar words of sacred prayer that can always penetrate the sky and be granted through unexpected ways.
"I'll be happy, Ma, Pa. I will always be happy and enjoy my life, even if I have to live alone."
Alya brushed off the shadow of someone who suddenly flashed present across her mind just like that, as Mama sincerely said her prayers and hopes.
"Blessed are you always there. I will always pray for your happiness from here. Your happiness is my happiness, though forever it will never merge and turn into our happiness."
