Meli and Rendy had arrived in Jakarta at around eight p.m. They live with Jovanka in a very small boarding house for them.
“Please enter, Ma, Pa!” jo told Papa and his Mom.
Meli pushes Rendy's wheelchair and enters the room that patch. He rolled his eyeballs to every corner of the small room. Perhaps, this little tenement room was like their living room while still living in the mansion that had now been confiscated.
Jo feels sad that both of her parents have to live in a small house like this. Do not be for three, living alone is already very narrow, for the size of a rich person like the Jovanka family.
“Papa rest first, yes?” Jovanka.
Rendy nodded faintly, as her limbs were very difficult to move.
Jo pushes the wheelchair carefully into a simple room without AC. Jo and Meli together help Rendy to move into bed. Rendy's eyes are glazed.
“Papa why?”
Rendy just shook her head, as a sign it was okay. He tried to hold back the water that almost fell from both eyes but still fell.
“But why is Papa crying?”
Rendy could only stare at Jovanka's face.
“Papa don't think too hard. Sorry, Pa? Jo can't give you a decent place to stay?” jo said softly.
Meli immediately hugged her daughter, she also embraced Rendy so that the three of them hugged with a cry.
“No papa, Honey. We are sorry, even adding you to the hassle here,” said Meli.
They hugged each other to strengthen.
Meli and Jovanka came out of the room when Rendy was asleep. They chatted casually on the outside terrace, for fear of disturbing Rendy's sleep.
“Ma? How does Papa's company go to collapse?” ask Jovanka.
Meli. Actually, he did not want to remember the events that he thought were heartbreaking. How not? Their wealth was all rake, in just a few moments.
“You got a new working partner's acquaintance. They worked together until one day, there was an agreement that turned out the contents had been sabotaged by his co-worker. There's some document recaps for them to sign. Your father only reads the beginning sheet, which triggers a revenue sharing system will be given to Papa by seventy-five percent. Your father believed and signed the paper because he believed in his business partner. Apparently, each sheet of content is different, until finally there is a document that states all shares of your Papa are owned by him. Which makes Papamu think hard, all of his shares have been sold to others and his coworkers moved from Bandung, out of nowhere. From there, your father began to daydream and get sick. Until finally Papa in phonis stroke by the doctor,” Meli explained while shedding tears.
“Prophe yes, Ma? Mama Doain hope Jo can save and buy a house that is comfortable enough for you."
“Mama always pray, Honey!”
Meli hugged her daughter tightly.
Suddenly, there was a black soprt parked in the courtyard of the Jovanka boarding house. Meli and Jo looked towards the car.
Chequek!
Car door open.
The sneakers of the man who came down from the black car.
“Rey?” Jovanka.
The man smiled with a bag of white crackles in his hand that contained a snack.
Meli felt like she had seen this man. He tried hard to remember it.
“Night, Jo? Aunt's Night?” said Rey kindly.
Jo smiles while Meli whispers to Jovanka, “Who is she?” meli whispered.
“This Rey, Ma. Schoolmate Jo, more precisely first class sister Jovanka,” said Jo a little whisper.
“He wasn't your girlfriend?”
Meli still remembers everything. This man's face looked even more handsome.
“This.”
Rey gave one of the white crackles to Jovanka.
Jo grabs it, “Thank you, Rey! Sit down!”
Rey joined the outside terrace. The three of them chatted warmly as the night got late.
“Jo, Mama sleeping, huh? Urs sleepy.”
Meli.
“Iya, Ma.”
“Mari, Rey?” said Meli friendly.
From the beginning, the one who challenged Jo's relationship with Rey was her Papa. Meli is actually confused by Rendy's attitude, but she tries to think positively about her husband. Until now, no one knew the beginning of Rendy's hatred of Reynand was because of what? It is still a mystery for Meli and Jovanka.
“Jo? Can I speak seriously?” rey said to the woman who was down.
“What?”
Jo lifted her eyes.
“There's still a chance for me to come back to you?”
Jo was back down.
Silent.
“Jawab, Jo! Do you not feel the same way about me now?”
The test!
Clear water has fallen from both eyes of Jovanka.
“Ya. I will not force. I appreciate that your heart is different now. What you need to know, from the first feeling I have always the same, even tends to increase. I want to ask you, Jo!”
Jovanka raised her eyes again, her eyes now widened to look at Reynand.
“What?”
“I love you! I want to take away my heart that others have taken!”
“But I'm not perfect, Rey! I've now been widowed!”
“That's no excuse, Jo! I just want to know your heart. Am I in your heart?”
Jo came back crying.
“From first, Rey! Even though I'm married, my mind and heart always drift with you. I feel guilty for my late husband because during the wedding there was no feeling of affection for him. The taste was a little raised because of his attention but now he is gone.”
The tears did not stop flowing.
“Already, Jo. I don't want to see you cry again.”
Rey gently rubbed the water that soaked her cheeks.
Silent.
“Rey?” jovanka broke the silence.
“Hem?”
Rey looked at Netra Jovanka.
“Give me time to decide all this.”
“Alright, I will wait until you are ready to answer. I'm saying goodbye, huh?”
Jo nodded.

For more than five months, Alexy has been living in Singapore. More than five months later, he was reported dead.
This afternoon, about eleven o'clock. Alexy and Princess walk the beloved homeland. They walked with a large travel bag and took a taxi from the airport to his house.
Alexy's house bell rang.
Coincidentally, that day the entire occupants of the middle house gathered.
“Bi Mun! Please open the door!” nadia from the kitchen.
“Iya, New!”
Mumun ran from the bathroom. At that time he was cleaning the bathroom in Nadia's room.
Chequek!
Mumun opened the door.
How surprised Mumun, when he saw Alexy standing right in front of him. Alexy's like an undead to her.
“AAAAA!”
Suddenly Mumun shouted and fell unconscious.
Alexy and Princess were shocked to see the housekeeper fall unconscious.
“Mas, it seems he was surprised to see you,” said the Princess who tried to wake Mumun.
Not long after, Nadia and Michael also went to the living room because they heard the screams of the housekeeper.
“Mum ...”
The word was truncated, as netra Nadia looked at the adult man who was none other than her own son.
He walked over to Alexy. There was no word from the lips of that twilight woman. Her hand now rubbed Alexy's cheek, feeling warm on her palm. Nadia hugged and shed tears on her son's chest. While Mumun has been helped by security.
“Where are you going, Son?” nadia said with tears.
“Why did you just come?”
“Where are you from, Lex?”
“Didn't you miss Mama, Papa, your cousin and your wife?”
Alexy was silent to the question without pause from the mother. She let her mother cry in her arms. Finally, Nadia realized there was a young girl next to Alexy.
“This who?” nadia pointed at Princess.
“This Princess. Alex's wife, Ma,” Alexy said.
“What?”
Nadia's eyes were round.
“Lex, Papa doesn't understand!” timpal Michael's.
“Come in, it is not good to discuss the problem in front of the house,” said Nadia.
Alexy and Princess followed Nadia and Michael in front.
The atmosphere on the cream sofa looked tense. Their faces showed seriousness, so there was no smile even just a little.
Alexy began to recount the events he experienced while in Singapore. Starting from he was in a coma, conscious, amnesia to the parents of the Princess who died. Alexy reveals it without hiding a bit from his parents.
Silent.
However, Princess has been meritorious. There's no harm in Alexy marrying Princess. They look happy. But, Jovanka? Will he accept being divorced by Alexy?
Nadia was still at a loss to answer everything Alexy said. Nadia is too heavy if Jovanka has to part with her son. It is also impossible for Alexy to have two wives.
“Ma, B. Alex is divorced from Alex's first wife. Because Alex is sure, he will be happy if he lives with the man he loves,” said Alexy.
Nadia glanced at her husband. Ask for opinions, maybe.
But, Michael shrugged his shoulders, indicating he handed all the decisions to his wife.
“Are you thinking mature, Son?” ask Nadia.
Alexy nodded, “Very ripe, Ma!”
“Alright, tomorrow we go to Jakarta. Jovanka is now a young doctor there. Yes, you guys just rest,” said Nadia.
Nadia decided that she would go to Jakarta because she also knew where Jovanka lived there.
Alex and Princess step into the room. The large and luxurious room he once lived in with Jovanka, his first wife.
Chequek!
Alexy opened the door.
The Princess' eyes were immediately fixed on the wedding photo of her husband with his first wife. Smiling lips expanded, instantly becoming moody and mute.
“Ayok!”
Take Alexy to pull his wife's arm.
Despite her doubts, the Princess followed her husband's footsteps. Damn, Alexy was insensitive that day. Maybe because his body is too tired.
Alexy immediately laid his tired body on a super big mattress. The princess sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes stared intently at the woman in the photo.
Fortunately, not for long. Alexy opened his eyes again. He saw his wife just sitting on the edge of the bed and his eyes also still see the picture of his marriage with Jovanka.
Alexy got out of bed. He realized that his young wife was jealous. Alexy walked over to a sizable photo that was stuck on the wall of his room. He immediately took down the photo.
“Where are you taken, Mas?” princess.
“You put it in the warehouse or all discarded,” replied Alexy.
“Do not!”
Princess forbids.
“What's on display here if it makes you jealous!”
“Jealous?”
“Iya. You're jealous of this photo, right?” Alexy.
Princesses silent. Because that's what he feels right now. He was just speechless and resigned to see his husband who went outside from the room carrying a wedding photo with his first wife.
Not long after, Alexy returned. He approached his wife who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Mas, excuse me, yes?” princess feels bad.
Alexy smile, “Gak papa.”
“I'm not good. The first day at this house has made Mas bad mood,” said Princess.
“Who said?”
“Kataku's. Just now, Mas angry ‘kan?”
Princess narrowed her eyes.
“Sok tau!”
Alexy pinches his spoiled wife's nose.
“Iihhhh ... Pain, Mas!”
Princess' lips tapered.
Alexy laughed at the pouting Princess.
Suddenly, Alexy drops Princess' body and attacks her without any cue.
