Episode 73

That deep love, Mahesa managed to find from Gibran's gaze for Manira. The same gaze that he had always seen in the eyes of Juragan Damar to Ratmi. It was that gaze that ultimately killed everyone and robbed them of all their happiness. Gibran is exactly like Juragan Damar. If Mahesa inherits the haughty nature of the Damar Magistrate then Gibran inherits a melancholic nature filled with love in which he deeply loves a woman and will never be able to stop loving her. The same love, once killed many lives and destroyed much happiness.

It was then that, while Mahesa was still standing a few steps ahead of Manira and Gibran at that time, she found one point of Gibran's weakness. Maniras. The grudge is not over. Although Juragan Damar has died, even though Ratmi has also managed to get rid of. Although all he had managed to destroy even to make Gibran live a strip of despair and live a life like a madman, still did not make Mahesa satisfied. Gibran is the inscription of that stifling love story. Before Gibran is destroyed, Mahesa will never stop. He hopes Gibran feels the same way as his parents who died horribly out of love. Whether by chance or not, God reunited them as if giving way to Mahesa to light the fire of his anger again.

Mahesa never even remembered that she had a childhood friend named Manira whom she left at this old station. When she was a child, Mahesa went on vacation to her grandmother's house in the Old City and met Manira. They were familiar with each other until finally the separation occurred because Mahesa had to return to the Fisherman's Village, the home of the Damar Scouts. From then on he did not remember Manira in the slightest. Not once and not for a second.

Whether Manira's stupidity or her innocence, she keeps waiting for someone who doesn't think she ever existed at all. Over the years, Mahesh spreads his men in search of Gibran who fled the Fisherman's Village. Once he finds Gibran, he finds Manira and decides to return.

Manira falls in love with him, which is what Mahesa then uses to launch his revenge on Gibran. To love is to lay down his life on the one he loves. Just like Juragan Damar who put his life on Ratmi. If Ratmi dies then Juragan Damar will not be able to live again. That's what Mahesa would do, too, killing Gibran slowly.

Cunning, the nature is still very attached to the mind of Mahesa. Just like a few years ago when she set up a devious plan to trap Ratmi to look as if she was having an affair with another man, now Mahesa is making a very ingenious plan, using Manira to take revenge on Gibran. A very neat plan that no one knows what he will do next.
