Episode 77's

Manira sat in front of the mirror. He's very sad. She is shocked, devastated, shocked between anger, jealousy, disappointed and feeling unappreciated by Mahesa. He was his wife, but outside, Mahesa still dared to kiss another woman. Maybe because he was too loving, too wanted to have Mahesa alone so now his heart is too sick. He could not accept the change in lifestyle that was much different between in his village and modern life here. He tried to understand everything but it still hurt.

“Why not sleeping?” ask Mahesa who just returned to the room around 3 am.

“Who is he?” ask Manira.

“Who?”

“Women in that blue dress,”

“You're jealous?”

Mahesa sat on the bed smiling. A cynical smile. He looked at Manira with a gaze that considered that Manira was a childish and very silly person who thought of it as something big. Little Mahesa began to feel that Manira was a village. An ancient woman who does not understand the development of the times.

“Manira, I love you..” Mahesa said as she stared at Manira. “Do you not believe me?” continued.

Mahesa did not want to be rude. He preferred a gentle way to overcome Manira's suspicions. He needs to touch Manira's innermost heart which makes him melt and believe that he loves her very much. Maybe because it is too loving so it is too easy to fall down and easily believe that Mahesa really loves him. Manira's heart melted. She leaned back in Mahesa's arms and apologized with her unreasonable jealousy. Whatever happens, Manira tries to understand it as part of the lifestyle that exists in the glamorous and modern environment of Mahesa that is far from his previous life.

“I'm sorry,” said Manira, feeling guilty.

“Already...” Mahesa stroked Manira's hair with a sly smile that she managed to make Manira believe all her words.

The next day Mahesa again made Manira sit on stage playing her violin. The reason being, the model that should be showing off the diamond that she was auctioning at the performance building was unable to come. Manira was asked to replace him. Although a little uncomfortable with the way people look at it, Manira still validate Mahesa's request as a form of service as a wife to the husband.

Manira sits on a chair on stage playing a classic song with her violin. As usual, she wore a luxurious and long black dress with the top slightly exposed. Manira's a little awkward. He's not used to all this. But he tried to follow Mahesa's lifestyle. He turned his gentle habit into something fancy and a little mischievous. Next to Manira there are hundreds of millions of diamonds on display. Manira did not know that the real thing on display at the event was not the diamond but her.

The clapping of visitors who are the average man in his 40s is heard accompanying the game Manira. They looked at Manira with admiration. Not only the beautiful game but also the beauty of Manira that can not be ignored. Some even ignored their drinks and chat mates for the sake of staring at Manira. Mahesa stood among dozens of guests. He recorded a video game of Manira with a sly smile. He was sure that the video would definitely burn someone.
