Episode 38's

The imam is the same. As a friend since childhood, in fact the Imam did not understand Manira well enough. He also sees only one point of view that what Manira does is foolishness.

“I can marry anyone,” replied Manira to make the Imam surprised.

The priest looked at Manira, wondering why Manira suddenly mentioned marriage.

“The decision to get married was very easy. I can pretend to like someone and marry him. But until when can I survive????” manira revealed his true heart, hoping that this time the Imam could understand it. “How about halfway I get tired and give up? What if I can't pretend to love again and decide to split up? Wouldn't that hurt more?” manira revealed that she really cannot replace her lover with anyone, she cannot pretend to love anyone and if forced, it will hurt more people.

“You are afraid..” replied Imam as if challenging Manira. “You are afraid to open your heart to others. You are afraid to fall in love again therefore you build a high wall and create a great distance with all the men who want to approach you,”

“Love is not something that can be replaced or moved from one person to another,” Manira denied.

“That's because you don't want to try,” shouted the Imam. “If you just want to open your heart to someone then everything will be better. You will know that in this world there is another love besides him. You can forget about it and can continue your life normally like everyone else,”

“It's not that easy,”

“That's because you don't want to try it. Open your heart to me or to others. You will surely realize that he is not the only love that exists in this world,”

“Absolutely you can replace me with another woman?” manira asked as if he was challenging the Imam.

“When we already like one person, then we will never be able to like another again,”

“What is this about money?” The Imam began to mention social status.

“What?” Manira surprise.

“You picked him because he had everything while I didn't,”

“Omong empty what is this?” Manira was very angry. “Even if there are poor men who propose to me and I refuse, then there are people who insult him like that. So I was the first to be offended, much more offended than that guy,” Manira asserted that his business was not about money.

“Long. Which woman can resist luxury? If there is a choice also definitely compared,”

“I'm not that shortsighted,” Manira crying. He was deeply offended by the Imam's accusation.

“You think you deserve him?”

Manira fell silent.

“What if it turns out that he has forgotten you?”

“Then let me love her to death,” replied Manira still with her arrogance.

Silent priest. He no longer knows how to open Manira's eyes and heart to stop being stupid, stop maintaining his ridiculous love. Love has roasted Manira's heart to dry and blackened into a crust. No one can raise Manira's heart anymore. His heart was shut at one point, loving just one person. That love has already bitten Manira's heart so that she can never replace that love with another.
