The woman sat hugging her knees in grief. Three days had passed, and the pain was still the same. She was still waiting and waiting, believing that her husband would come with a sweet smile for her. I believe Adam is okay.
The woman is like a living corpse. Pallid and looks no spirit of life. Not eating, not drinking, not talking. Ibrahim and his children were confused as to how else to persuade Haura to eat. Because the woman did not flinch, did not heed the words of her family.
He was devastated by the bad news. But he still can't believe it. He denies all that reality. Inwardly always said, it was not her husband's boat. It's just a nightmare. When he wakes up, everything will be fine. Her husband just left for a while and will be back soon.
Ibrahim was very sad to see his daughter. Many times he persistently persuaded Haura to eat. However, his daughter did not listen to his words. Not allowing even a mouthful of food into his mouth.
Ibrahim was very sorry. If he had just given up a little bit, it wouldn't be like this. And now he must witness the destruction of his daughter's life. Ibrahim also forgot to tell Ray and Medina. He was also confused as to what to say. The guilt tormented the old man.
But Abraham still did not give up. He continued to comb the area of the sea near the boat was found. Looking for the whereabouts of his son-in-law. Asking around, who knows if anyone has seen his daughter-in-law. Even if the results are the same, nil. A piece of clothing was not found.
He will continue to look for his son-in-law. All he did for his haura. He realized that his daughter really loved Adam. And seeing Adam's persistence, he knew the man also loved his daughter very much. He promised in his heart. If his son-in-law returns safely, he will not hinder or separate the love of both of them.

"Grand .. uhuk ..." The foreign man coughed until his chest rose and fell. He slowly opened his eyes which felt very heavy.
One word that immediately crossed his head was the word 'foreign'. Confused, his last memory takes him to the moment when he gets a lot of pearl oysters. After that the memory of the next incident seemed to disappear. There is only darkness. And now he's out of nowhere. He looked around, apparently there was a young girl sleeping in a chair near his bed. His face looks tired in his sleep.
Adam shuffled up and forced his still weak body to sit down. He held his head wrapped in bandages because of the pain that suddenly hit.
"Arggghh ...," Adam was in great pain. He grimaced feeling his head throbbing violently.
"Eh, you're awake?" The girl woke up shocked by Adam's agonizing voice.
"You calm down first. I'll call my dad." The girl got up and immediately ran to call her father, the village chief.
"You're sober, son?" asked the white-haired man who had just come over for being summoned by his daughter.
"Sorry, where am I?"
"Calm down, son. You are in Pinang village. I'm Ali, the village head here. And this is my son Lilis. We found you stranded on the beach in pretty bad shape. What's your name, son? Where are you from?" ask the man patiently.
"I'm Adam from Bandung Pak."
"How did you get to this place?"
"Arghh .. My head hurts. It's a long story sir." Adam groaned again and held his very sick head.
"All right, you just take a break. Later after you recover, you can tell me everything."
Adam lay back on the bed. His body still felt very weak and limp just to sit. He tried to close his eyes, but could not because of hunger. Her empty stomach was impatient to be filled.
Kruyuukkkk
"Lis, please cook the porridge for Mr. Adam. After cooking bring it here immediately."
"Good Well."
"I'm sorry Mr. Ali, I'm so much trouble for you."
"It's okay, son. We're glad we could help you."
"Thank you very much Sir."
After Lilis died, Adam told about himself to Pak Ali, the village head. Mr. Ali was just listening carefully. Finally he understood how Adam could be stranded on the beach. Ali felt sorry for Adam. He promised to take Adam home if his wounds had recovered and improved.
From behind the curtain a girl listened to her father and Adam's conversation silently. I want to know what Adam and his father were talking about. He was very interested to know about the man he had taken care of. But after hearing everything he was disappointed, the man he liked was already married. Without tears to wet the sweet girl's cheeks.
And finally in the next two days, Adam still lives in that family. Adam was moved by their kindness. Without their help, perhaps he was no longer in this world. He understood what Ray was feeling. Ray felt very indebted to his parents-in-law. And sure enough, good minds will not be able to be paid with any amount of money.

"Be careful on the road, son. I'm sorry you couldn't keep your promise to get you there. There's a sudden affair at the Musyawarah Hall."
"It's okay Mr. Ali. I am very grateful to Mr and Lilis who have saved and taken care of me all this time. Forgive me if I'm too troublesome."
"We are happy to help others. So don't feel burdened, do you?"
"Then I say yes sir. Oh yeah where's Lilis?"
"She said she couldn't drive. He said he wasn't feeling well."
"Oh yes? Poor thing, surely Lilis is sick from fatigue taking care of me." Adam felt guilty.
"It's okay, son. Later you love the potion that you make will also soon improve. Yes, Husein is waiting for you. Be careful on the road. Greetings to your family."
"Okay sir, I'm saying goodbye. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam wr."
Adam got into Husein's boat to take him home. He waved at Pak Ali who was still standing on the beach looking at his boat which was getting away.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the girl secretly saw the departure of the man she had cared for for days. Without tears dripping down her cheeks. He was wrong to fall in love with a married man.
"If you knew Bang. Lilis falls in love with Bang Adam. Lilis love Bang Adam. Why did we meet when you were married?"
