Rita can't wait to go home soon. She misses life in the village with her grandmother. But he still has to wait a few more days.
Rita still has to go to college and take classes until the weekend.
Today, Rita left for college alone on her bike as usual. Upon entering the campus, Geng Soya was already waiting for him at the intersection. Rita pretends not to know and does not care about their whereabouts.
His steps came to a halt as, Mei, Zea and Dee blocked in front of him. Rita took a deep breath to hold back her emotions.
"What do you want? I'm in a hurry, I can't serve you guys," Rita asked as she looked at the three classmates.
"Rita, we're still offering you to join our gang. We are waiting for your answer" said Soya haughtily.
"Soya is beautiful, I'm not a rich man like you. No one can be the reason I joined you guys" Rita replied flatly.
"So you refused our offer? Then don't blame us, if we're going to teach you a lesson" said Soya arrogantly.
"Please, I'm not afraid!" challenge Rita. "Surge!"
Rita leaves Soya's gang to quickly get into class. He was still thinking about Soya's threat, but Rita was not afraid at all.
After class, Rita rushed home and prepared her needs to return home. Almost all of his clothes he took home. He thought, if he had not had the chance to return to this city, then his marriage to the Son was over.

The weekend has finally arrived. Rita immediately left for the terminal to take the night bus. The son drove him to the terminal and before leaving, Putra asked Rita to remind him that in this city there is he who always waits for Rita to return.
Rita smiled at the Son's words. In her heart, she still could not believe that a village girl like her, who was only a maid, could be loved and be the lover of the Son. It seems like all of that was just a dream. And that dream will be gone when he returns to his hometown.
A farewell hug made the atmosphere awkward. They never look romantic, let alone romantic. This was the first time they hugged me tight.
Rita immediately boarded the bus and waved at Putra as the bus walked slowly leaving the terminal. At this terminal, Rita felt it would be the last time to meet the Son.
Rita enjoys the view all the way to her hometown. The trees are alternating and the roads are different. His heart was still troubled because he could not promise the Son to return.
After a long and tiring journey, Rita arrived a village. But to get to his village he still had to ride a motorcycle taxi for 15 minutes.
Rita was in a house that was quite large and looked neat. In this house, Rita's childhood was so spoiled by Grandpa and Grandma, after her mother died. Rita held back a cry, as her hand knocked on the door of her house.
"Grandmother" said Rita who immediately hugged her Grandma.
"Rita, grandson. Finally you go home," said Grandma Sri while returning Rita's embrace.
After each other expressed longing, Grandma invited Rita to sit down and talk.
"Rita is sorry, because Rita did not go home immediately when Rita did not stay at Dad's house," said Rita as she squeezed her own hand showing anxiety
"Rita, Grandma was so worried when she found out you were kicked out of your father's house. Accusing you of all sorts. Grandma was very disappointed and angry at your father. He does not believe in you, is too weak and unequivocal to his wife. Grandma thought, you would be happy to meet your father, but it turns out ...," said Grandma with emotion.
"Grandma don't be angry, don't be emotional. Grandma's high blood again. Importantly, Rita is okay," said Rita while holding her Grandma's hand.
"Yes. Your father says you're now a maid in town. Grandma sad. At home, you never do homework. Everything is already there Bik Kinah. You are Grandma's favorite granddaughter. Grandma doesn't want you to be a maid" Grandma said with tears in her eyes.
"Miss, Rita is so happy to be Grandma's granddaughter. Everything Rita wants, always fulfilled. Rita also wants to prove to Grandma and her neighbors that Rita is an adult and can live independently" said Rita.
"Anyways, Grandma doesn't want you to go back to being a maid in town. Live here with Grandma. If you want to work and do not want to be said spoiled, you can replace the position of Grandma. You keep an eye on the workers in the rice fields" Grandma encouraged Rita by offering her a job.
"But, Grandma. Rita has to come back. Rita just went to college there, Grandma," said Rita sadly.
"You're in college?" ask Grandma in shock.
Grandma was very surprised to hear Rita's confession. Because when Grandma asked Rita to go to college, she wouldn't. And whatever Rita said, her grandmother always obeyed.
Fortunately, even though Rita's life was always spoiled, she did not become a proud and haughty girl.
"Yes, Grandma. And that's the result of Rita working as a maid" replied Rita.
"Rita, so the maid wasn't easy. In this house, no one has ever ruled you. Grandma can't imagine, when you were ordered even snapped by your master. Grandma is not sincere, Grandma is not willing. All this time, Grandma never asked for anything from you. Just this once, follow Grandma's wishes. Don't ever go back to town again" Grandma said seriously.
Rita could only endure the crying. Grandma really doesn't want Rita back. Rita is confused how else to explain to her Grandma, if she is fine and happy even though she is only a maid. Because of this work, for the first time, Rita can earn money from her own sweat.
Later that night, Rita could not sleep. He remembered the Son. Will it really be just a memory?
