At the kades' house.
“Bw.... Arif nnggg.”
Blue shook his head to see Arif still loyal to his habits.
“Iya nak.”
Mother who was watching tv turned her back to the door and turned her head.
“Kok night time...”
The question stopped when he saw Blue. His tears seemed to be crammed, wanting to come out right then and there. Blue walked over to the mother, crouched down in front of her and kissed her hand.
“Blue go home bu.”, he said.
Mother stroked Blue's head gently. Arif smiled seeing it.
“Where is bu?”, asked Arif.
“Bapak is overseeing the construction of the bridge. Have you eaten?”
“Mommy already. Arif asked for food to Blue.”
“This you.”
Arif grinned and went into the room. A few seconds later he came out again and headed to the bathroom to clean himself up. While mom and Blue sit together watching mom's favorite night show on tv while talking lightly about their news and daily life.
“In the Darmawan residence there is a senior servant called Simbok. People like to get angry. But Blue feels she looks a lot like mom.”
Mom fell silent. Among the amazement because his son is now a lot of talk and shocked to hear the story about Simbok.
“She is like mom nak.”
Blue who had been looking at the tv screen immediately turned to mother.
“He is the one who always protects the mother in the Darmawan residence. He was always there for my mother. But mom left him there alone.”
Blue immediately remembered with the speech Simbok who said that he was in living alone there.
“So mom is close to Simbok?”
“Very.”
“What happened exactly bu?”
Mother sighed heavily and then started telling me that Simbok had forbidden her to take Blue away. Because in the future, the mother will feel very sick when it is time to release Blue back to the Darmawan family.
“But mommy keeps abiding by mom's own ego and takes you away from there. So that you can take full care of you. Simbok is very angry. Finally mom left without saying goodbye to him.”
Blue tries to understand the position of the mother.
“Now mom knows, Simbok is right with all her sayings. He just didn't want her to feel the pain of losing. As he experienced.”
“As he experienced?”
Mom looks surprised. It seems like my mother said something secret.
“Bu?”
Mother looked at Blue in confusion.
“Blue will be very angry if you still hide the secret on Blue.”
Mom fell silent.
“That's not something you should hide from Blue.”
“With sir Hendra.”
Blue surprised.
“Means mother?”
With hesitation, my mother began to tell me.
“Before, Simbok like a brother who is very dear to Hendra sir. They are a village. After finishing SD, Mr. Hendra migrated to the city but will return every year to meet Simbok.”
I took a breath and continued to tell stories.
“Grown up, they decided to date for fear of losing each other. Especially with long distances and very rare meetings.”
Blue is still very carefully. Arif who had finished bathing decided to sit down and listen to the story from his mother.
“Yes already son. I feel guilty if I have to tell you everything.”
Blue looked at mom seriously. At that time, I knew the threat was no joke. I'm afraid Blue won't see her again. Finally, my mother continued her story.

Simbok was 15 years old. Mr. Hendra returned home for the second time. Like any other couple, they spend time together while they can. That night they were really in love drunk to do the forbidden thing. A few days later it was time for Mr. Hendra to return to the city. He said goodbye to the lover he loved so much.
The days of Simbok went on as usual until he felt something strange about him, often feeling nauseous and dizzy. A few months later, she realized she was pregnant. He was happy but also scared at the same time.
The longer, the Simbok stomach gets bigger.The family finally knows about the pregnancy. They are very angry. The villagers also shake him every day.

Blue currently feels a great hatred for her grandfather.
“Then Hendra married someone else? So?”
Mother who saw the anger in the face of Blue immediately continued the story.

A few months after Simbok was expelled from the village, Hendra returned home like in previous years. But Simbok no longer exists. Though at that time he wanted to announce his promotion and planned to bring Simbok with him. In other words, he will marry her.
Mr. Hendra asked anyone he met but they never knew where the destination of the departure of Simbok. Finally with a heavy heart, Mr. Hendra went to the big city without his lover. Once in a while Mr. Hendra visited the city where he worked first to find the whereabouts of Simbok. But finding someone in the hundreds of residents is not easy.
Five years after the incident, Mr. Hendra's superior asked him to marry his only daughter, her name was bu Tari. He really likes Mr. Hendra because of his hard work and honesty. He also never once saw Mr. Hendra with a woman.
Because never found the existence of Simbok, Mr. Hendra began to feel tired of looking and finally accepted the request of his superiors just like that. As his only son-in-law, he was loved and treated very special in the family. A few months later, they had a great wedding.
As a wedding gift, Mr. Hendra's father-in-law gave him a luxurious house and work leave for his honeymoon with his wife. At that time, Mr. Hendra decided to take him for a walk in the city where Mr. Hendra worked first. This time he had no hope of meeting Simbok.
God's plan is totally unpredictable. Mr. Hendra actually met with Simbok at a food stall. The meeting that they had been waiting for, which should make both happy even made a very painful wound. In order to appreciate Tari's mother, they chose to pretend not to know each other and meet secretly afterwards.
At first they just met to ask each other's news and wanted to know what happened during the five years they did not meet. How surprised Mr. Hendra heard about the Simbok pregnancy because the people in the village never told him. Feeling guilty, Hendra decided to take Simbok to the big city with him, find a job and rent a place to stay for him. So that they can meet as often as possible.
But as soon as any carcass is hidden, over time the smell of rot will be smelled too. Ma'am Dance finally found out about them. Because he felt betrayed, he planned to invite Mr. Hendra apart. But it turned out that she was pregnant for several weeks.
