Episode 68's

Manira closed her eyes, unwilling to see the couple. He did not dare to imagine how the future of the two would be. Whether it would end up sweet or bitter as he was currently experiencing. He kept his face down until someone stood before him.

“Manira,” greet the man.

Manira opened her eyes. He stared at the shiny pair of expensive shoes, standing before him. His heart is racing. His blood flow is getting stronger. His whole body was shaken to hear that voice. Slowly Manira raised her face. He was silent for a moment, crying.

Just like Manira, Gibran was shocked to hear the voice. He could not believe seeing the man standing before him. His eyes looked straight at the man. Manira continued to stare at the man, ignoring Gibran in all his surprise. Manira held the man's face as if making sure that he wasn't dreaming. The handsome man smiled while holding Manira's hand.

“I'm back,”

“I know, you will definitely come back,” replied Manira with tears breaking.

“Mahesa,” exclaim Gibran, surprise. “This is impossible..” grumbled Gibran, not believing to find that the lover Manira always misses all this time turned out to be Mahesa.

Time passed, moving far away. But it's all like going around in circles that eventually goes back to the same place. Gibran and Mahesa have been separated for a long time. The distance had stretched very far from their village to the Old City even to Mahesa to Germany. But ultimately fate brought them back together. A meeting that always feels bitter and will never be sweet because of a dark past.

Gibran was silent in the corner of the station on a quiet night. Although he already looks handsome with a brown shirt and black vest, but his face is still sad. There was still a lingering sorrow in his mind that wiped away all the smiles that had shone. One by one the memories of the past were re-unraveled like a book whose pages were wide open before him. There are tears that have not dried up. Looking at Mahesa before him, he felt as if all those wounds were reoccurring. Even more painful, she must accept the fact that Mahesa is Manira's lover. A person who Manira always looks forward to with all her heart and can never be replaced by anyone. It hurts more pain.

Gibran crying. Her tears returned to remember that fate always played tricks on her. After long drowning him in grief, he had risen for a while and was now mourning again. Everything's shattered. Juragan Damar's. Suddenly Gibran remembered that and felt that the name had bound them and made them always meet again and again.

“Why is it always like this?” his gerrymandering lamented that his happiness must always be shattered by his past which continues to follow him into the future.

A few days later, Manira's wedding to Mahesa was held. Everyone welcomed the party because Manira finally got married. Mahesa is a rich and successful man. He has a luxury car, has a good business as a legacy business of Juragan Damar. There is not a single flaw in Mahesa that allows one to reject Mahesa as one's daughter-in-law or lover. He is perfect, more than ideal to be a man of dreams. At that time everyone realized, why Manira had never been able to replace Mahesa with anyone. There is no better option than Mahesa.
