Episode 65's

Manira stops her white car when she sees a man in a checkered shirt leaving his buttons open, carried away by the wind, revealing a white T-shirt inside. The priest stood in the middle of the road holding a wooden stick. After Manira came out, she walked quickly to Manira's car then...

Brok!!!! Brok!!!! The priest smashed Manira's car glass.

“Aw...” cried Manira, terrified.

The man showed an angry and disappointed face. A disappointment that was no greater than a man whose proposal was rejected by his women for unreasonable reasons. All the Imam's love turned into vengeance. A grudge that he tried to control but in the end he could no longer bear. He wants to get angry and beat up Manira so that Manira realizes her mistake. He thinks it's unfair. This was foolishness and pride because Manira kept on maintaining her loyalty to her lover who might never return to her.

Too deep a sense of love produces deep disappointment and anger as well. That is what has now turned the Imam's love into hatred. Love is too deep and pain too deep. The same thing that happened to Juragan Damar to Ratmi, now Iman felt to Manira. Disappointed and sick. He continued to stand staring at Manira as if wanting to read what was in the heart and mind of the woman who was now standing before him. What's he thinking? What does she want? And why is he so stubborn? What a great lover that makes him can not stop loving her and can not even open his heart to other men. If the woman whose husband is next to him can still have an affair, why can't Manira who is far apart from her lover open her heart at all? What's wrong with Manira?

The priest continued to stare at Manira for a long time with his eyes glistening between sad, angry and disappointed. He no longer knew how to deal with this stupidest and most stubborn woman. Women who for the sake of his lover dare to ignore everything even the wishes of his own parents. If the other children troubling their parents by making noise everywhere, then Manira does so in a silent manner that silence is scarier than a storm.

“You know, what's the other name of your loyalty to love?” ask Imam.

Manira looked down, silent.

“Procedures to parents,”

“Sorry..” says Manira feels guilty.

“Stop all this foolishness,” replied the Priest, staring at Manira, angry. “Everyone is waiting for you..”.

Manira shook her head guiltily.

Seriate...
