It is located above the St Mary's Chapel. The chapel is a small building that houses the communion of the Christian community. St. Mary's Chapel is one of the chapels in the city of S, built by Sister Elisabeth and her community and is one of the locations with the Orphanage of the Holy Family.


The nuns are currently busy arranging flowers both in the coffin of Astuti, on the altar table, and at the door of the chapel. Purwo and Sister Elisabeth appeared to talk about worship for the release of the body later. Twins can only sit crying in silence while hugging their utis. Sons, their fathers sat behind them. The son waited for Purwo to talk about the funeral service later.


When Purwo finished talking with Sister Elisabeth, the Son stood up to his cousin's sister.


"mas Pur.."Call the Son to his cousin's brother.


"yes.gimana?"


"sorry, mas, I would like to deposit funds to be given to the Community, for the cost of all this Body Removal event"

"yes wis, okay, this money I received and immediately I gave Sister Elisabeth for the smooth running of the event today. oh yes, Sister Elisabeth advised, Father Emanuel asks to see you later before the blessing of the release of the body "


"nggih mas"


"remember.there's something we should talk about later after the funeral"


"nggih mas" said Putra, he always obeyed his brother, because he was an only child and Purwo was the only brother closest to him, only to Purwo, The son could not show his cold and flat face. The son sits behind his children while looking at Astuti's coffin, the woman he was betrothed to 13 years ago by his father when he already had a statusless relationship with Michelle in the land of the people, a widow who had 1 son, Andrew, who was then 1 year old. The son himself still could not understand, what he felt for Astuti, which he believed was only Astuti was the mother of his children, Just that.


"mboten saged, Father, I don't love astuti, he's my cousin Purwo's sister, and I know he has a lover whom he loves and I already have Michelle" rebut the Son when he heard his father would match him with Astuti.


"ck...has dared to object yes you..schooled father adoh-adoh even bali nggawa randha son 1...ora can.let him go and marry Astuti, which is clearly the weight of the seedlings bebetnya"


the Son was married to Astuti, with a complete Javanese customary wedding and a festive and luxurious reception party, but in the hearts of the two brides there was no happiness even a speck, and there are only forced smiles, because they each have to part with their respective lovers for the sake of a sentence: "keep the family honor and the purity of the family blood"
