The newlyweds eventually fell asleep on the sofa bed, the middle room of their apartment. Nina hugged Joon. After a long chat session about Burhan not wanting to meet Dina and Nina. Ends with Joon who has to be extra patient to give understanding.
About the reason Mr. Burhan does not want to make the good name of Dina and Nina tarnished for having the father of an inmate murder and corruption case. Nina finally understood her father's attitude.
Nina was still wearing the dres she was wearing this morning. Joon's been taking off his suit since they arrived at their apartment. Leave the white shirt that Joon has unbuttoned.
Joon's sleep was a little disturbed when Nina increasingly stuck her head into the niche of the husband's neck. Nina's favorite spot since marriage. Again, Nina's movements made the one down there react instantly.
"Baby..," call Joon raucous.
"Nggghhh..," Nina muttered indistinctly. So that the sound generated even looks like a des***n. Joon immediately turned their body position. Nina was of course surprised, suddenly getting an attack from the husband.
Lee Joon starts peppering with Nina hotly, until Nina can no longer resist the husband's wishes. They were back in the heat on their sofa bed. Until the afternoon.
The day changed quickly. Dina's marriage finally arrived in time. Everything went well. From the reception to the reception. During that time, back master Lee and Sofia who became representatives for Dina.
Dina is very happy. Because Sofia treated him like a child herself. Dina seemed to get the figure of a mother who had long lost.
"Honey, we feel so old" said Mr. Lee after the wedding of Dina and Doni.
"Yes, yes. How many times have you married people's children" Sofia said.
"Next month is still there. That's Mike still in line."
"Oh yes. Mas real. It really feels old. By the way that in the condition is not yes, look at us mulu every condition. He thought later we diligently make until our children much so," said Sofia while chuckling.
"Bomatoes, bodo. What matters is that I go to sleep first. Dingy. Tonight we off first yes," said Mr. Lee who immediately got a copy from Sofia.
"Basic bawdy. It's appropriate that there are many children," Sofia said. Unheard of the husband who has entered into the dream realm.
Meanwhile, a man in the typical clothes of a prison prisoner. Seemed to be sitting quietly in his cell. Sometimes he coughed. Lately the cough has gotten worse. However, he still refused to be examined and treated.
During that time Nina and Dina often visited him. But Burhan always refused to see his two daughters. Even though he misses them so much.
In the end only the cooking of her two daughters, could treat her longing for Dina and Nina. Because every time they came, the two daughters always brought their own food. Always ask the guards to give it to their father.
Burhan had just finished feeding his two daughters. Balado shrimp and soto betawi. One of his favorite foods. Both of them visited this afternoon. But as usual he refused to meet, until a message was delivered to him.
"Papa, Dina married Mas Doni yesterday. May Papa always bless and pray for the happiness of Dina."
The message the guard gave him. Tears finally fell on the corner of her eyes. Especially a few days before. Surprisingly Ratna came to visit. This time Burhan was willing to meet her.
"How are you, Burhan?" ask Ratna. Looked hard on his best friend.
"I'm fine as you can see. Don't worry" Burhan replied. Looking towards Ratna who looked teary. Burhan sighed.
"Don't be sad for me. I'm doing what I've grown" Burhan added.
"Are you not sorry?" ask Ratna.
"What's the point of regretting it now. I don't use my wits to consider the actions I take. And here's the result" Burhan replied.
"Did you know? Even Adi, until he's gone. You're the only one on his mind. He's so worried about you."
"Sorry," one word came out of Burhan's lips.
"Then what's the apology useful now?" ask Ratna. Burhan.
"You should now live happily with your two daughters. They love you so much" Ratna said.
Burhan was silent. Regret alone is not enough to make up for all his mistakes. In the end he realized that he deserved all this in return for all his past deeds.
Ratna who only saw Mr. Burhan was silent then rose from her seat. Walk towards the exit. Before he came out he said. "Good be here and take care of your health." Ratna was obviously disappointed by Burhan's attitude.
In the past Ratna had loved the young Burhan. But the young Burhan's insanity in Sofia makes Ratna choose to step down. Buried his love deeply. Then try to open his heart by accepting Adi Pratama, Nina's father. To be her husband.
Ratna was lucky. Adi is willing to accept himself. Their love life is harmonious. Death truly separates them.
One line Ratna said that instantly made Lord Burhan's tears drip unstoppable. Regrets that come too late. Unable to make his situation better. If only. if only. Of course he will choose to let go of all the grudges and ambitions that ruled him at that time.
The grudges and ambitions that led him to endless regret, accompanied him for the rest of his life. Behind the cold iron bars of his cell room.
Slowly he grabbed the pen he had asked the officer. With shoulders shaking violently and a cough that often comes struck. He began to write on the piece of paper. Tears were coming down on his old cheeks.

A call came in from an unknown number to Joon's phone. Making a handsome man who was checking some files with reading glasses that perched sweetly on his nose, frowned.
He thought who knew his personal number other than those closest to him.
"Hello" said Joon.
An answer sounded from the other end. Joon shut the phone down. He then stepped onto the stairs connecting his study and his wife's workspace.
Joon thought he was just about to persuade Mr. Burhan to seek treatment. But the truth says something else.
"Baby, come with me quickly" he said as he opened the painting door in the wife's study.
"What's wrong?" asked Nina who was also wearing her reading glasses.
"Let me explain. Just leave a message to Karin. Let him finish your work today." Joon said, then gently pulled the hand of the wife. And grabbing Nina's bag. Take him down to the lobby. Where Toyota Rush the husband is waiting. Not long ago the car was mixed with the dense streets of the capital.
"Max, please handle my work today. What I'm worried about seems to be happening" Joon told Max via his bluetooth headset. Then shut it down as soon as Joon finished talking.
Joon's words make Nina who just sent a message to Karin, directly staring at the husband.
"So something serious happened?" ask Nina. But Joon hasn't been able to answer. Nina's phone rang. The name of the brother is listed there. Joon can only catch his breath. As if I knew what was happening.

Mr. Burhan's funeral was attended only by the closest family. The two brothers hugged each other over the father's grave. Countless, tears were flowing from the eyes of the two, ever since they were told of their father's death.
Nina could only be silent. There was no sound when the news was delivered by the hospital doctor who handled Burhan.
"Patients have lung cancer and it's stage 4. It has spread to other vital organs. So we're sorry. We've been trying, but the patient's life we can't save."
She immediately shouted hysterically. Crying uncontrollably, when they are shown the body of the father who has been stretched stiff. Nina was dejavu with what she saw. Memories of the death of his beloved father, re-emerged in his mind.
He was silent, not knowing what to do. Only tears finally flowed profusely in response to the sense of what he was feeling now.
"Baby," said Joon, Nina immediately looked at her husband's face. In the next instant, the crying voice finally broke as well, as Lee Joon grabbed onto Nina's body. Cuddle him in his arms.
"The patient seems to know if he has lung cancer. The patient refused to be treated. Until we're late to handle it."
The report Joon got from the officer and the doctor who handled Burhan. Joon can only take his breath slowly.
"He was desperate for his life. To bear guilt on those he feels he has hurt. Feeling that his regrets will be useless in the redemption of his mistakes. It makes them weak physically and mentally. Added to lung cancer. Fast enough to be able to end a person's life in the true sense," explained Dr. Pras some time ago.
Slowly at the touch of the wife's shoulder. Nina reflexes looking. A hand he welcomed. Jon gently pulled the wife's body up. All the mourners are gone. There are four of them. Doni and Dina. Joon and Nina
"We're going home now, right? ask Joon.
Nina fell silent. As if not willing to leave his adoptive father alone.
"He's not alone. Maybe they are now..."
"Play chess?" cut Nina to finish Joon's sentence. Doni and Dina immediately gave a smile. Their cries had stopped from before actually. Leaving a blanket on ayu's faceboth.
"Well that knows. We go home yes. Tomorrow we come here again. Want to rain, let your papa reunian like your father used to. Later he will also be known as Suryo's grandfather and grandmother as your father," said Joon, who made the other three people almost blow his laughter. But done. Considering they were in the cemetery.
"What do you think High School reunion is?" nina replied grumbling.
"Let's go home then" asked Doni this time. The four began to leave the cemetery after saying goodbye to Burhan.
There is nothing to worry about death. All humans will experience the name of death. When's? We don't know. What is clear is that we are currently waiting at the death counter. That turn when it comes, we don't know. Because we both don't know our queue numbers.
