MARRIED
Visiting Karel
"Ben! Don't joke around weirdly" said Julia, shaking her head, always inexhaustible with Ben's sometimes slurring words.
"But I'm serious, Jul. Although Arka wasn't my real son, but when I saw her, it felt like my own son. Julia, let me be a papa for Arka." Ben looked into Julia's sincere eyes.
"Ben, I don't know what to say. I can't answer that right now, Ben. If in the future, Arka himself calls you papa, I'm fine. But I'm not the one who's going to teach her" Julia said with a smile.
Ben looks sad, but he can't force Julia. He knew if Julia was a very kind person, if she wanted to, Ben could force her. But Ben could not bear, he always felt guilty if he remembered what he had done to Julia. Ben looked down at Julia's eyes, eager to embrace Julia with all his heart.
Not wanting to linger, Ben turned his face away. Now she realizes that her love for Julia has filled her whole heart.
Ben finally returns home, but he will always return to Julia's house to meet Arka who has now made him fall in love. And also he wants to win the heart of Julia that he once rejected. Ben is so sorry.

Julia was cradling Arka when she saw a car stop in front of the house. Nadine is seen getting out of the car and walking towards Julia.
"Hello, Julia. I'm sorry I just got here" said Nadine, who now looks more beautiful and excited.
"Hello Nadine, nice to see you." Julia welcomed Nadine sincerely, forgetting the bad things that had happened in the past.
"Wow ... Baby handsome boy once like the deceased," cried Nadine when she saw Arka in Julia's arms.
"The name is Arka."
"Good name, it suits her very cute." Nadine looks very anxious to see Arka.
"May I be fat, Jul?" ask Nadine.
"Of course, Nad."
Nadine carried the Ark carefully. Julia is happy if someone loves her child.
"What are you doing now, Nad?" julia asked as she watched Arka who looked comfortable in Nadine's arms.
"I'm working now, Jul. I just found out it was hard to make my own money. I'm also officially divorced from Ben" said Nadine, as sadness gushed from her eyes.
"Prophey, Nad. If you're a match, you and Ben will be together again."
"Julia, can I ask you something?" ask Nadine.
"Of course."
"Jul, is your relationship with Ben still bad?" ask Nadine slowly.
"Nad, Ben and I were just best friends. There can't be more than that" said Julia, who is increasingly aware that she and Ben are very difficult to be together. It might be like day and night that are impossible to put together.
"But Ben .... "
"Nad, trust me. Ben is insensitive and sometimes does not know his own heart. Maybe he had to lose it first and realized that something that escaped his grasp was something very valuable," said Julia to calm Nadine's heart.
"Like losing you, Jul?"
Nadine only smiled in response to Julia's words, but she knew how Ben's heart was now. There's only Julia's name on it.
Until the night before, Nadine was still at home Julia. He was happy to help take care of Arka. Nadine finally came home.
"Jul, can I come back here tomorrow? I want to meet Arka, "pinta Nadine.
"Of course, Nad. I told you that Arka is our son together." Julia said sincerely from her heart, pitying Nadine who will never have a child from her own womb.
"Thank you, Jul."
Nadine came home with a satisfied heart but envy always ambushed her heart. Envy Julia who was given Arka, a baby she would not have. But maybe someday, Nadine will be able to have Arka.

Irfan looked at a white envelope located on his desk. A letter from Karel to Julia. Karel has indeed prepared a letter for Julia if one day Julia gets married again.
It is still very clear in memory, when Karel told him about this letter. Karel said if on the other hand this letter will never be accepted by Julia, which means Julia will not marry again someday.
But on the other hand, getting rid of the selfishness in her, Karel wants Julia to get married again, happy with her new partner.
Irfan was still staring at the letter that was still tightly sealed. I think he wants to open it. However, a sense of loyalty to his best friend makes him undo his intentions.
Irfan took the letter and put it back in the drawer. Sighing deeply, Irfan closed his eyes. She missed Julia. I would love to read a letter from Karel with Julia. He would happily wipe away the tears on Julia's cheek.
Karel's chest feels tight, he really loves Julia. I don't know when he should wait.

Since the morning Julia's heart was very happy. He dressed the best for Arka. Julia also wears the best clothes and dresses as beautifully as possible. Today Arka's age is exactly 2 months, he will take her to see her father.
Julia prepared since morning, she could not wait to bring Arka to the tomb of Karel. When everything was ready, Julia left.
The journey to the cemetery is not too far, it only takes about 30 minutes. Arriving at the funeral, Julia holds Arka who is fast asleep.
Julia's heart felt a longing for Karel, indeed it had been a few months he did not visit.
Julia rested at Karel's headstone, but this time she showed her smile. Her heart still felt lost the figure of her husband, but she was happy to get the fruit of love from Karel.
"My husband's karel, how are you doing there? I'm sure you'll be happy. Karel, I came here on purpose to bring our son, Arkana Mahendra. Look, it's very similar to you, isn't it, Karel? I'm sure you'll be happier watching from there that our son was born healthy. Karel, don't worry anymore huh, I've been there to accompany and I won't be lonely anymore."
"Karel, I promise to raise our son well. I will also tell her the figure of her father. I'm sorry if I can't visit you often. Karel, keep looking at me and Arka huh. Be happy and calm there."
Julia kissed Karel's headstone. He was relieved to finally be able to visit Karel, introducing Arka. Julia was sure, Karel would be very happy to see him and Arka was fine.
