About ten minutes they took public transport, they arrived in front of the alley leading to Yanto's house.

"Here, don't cry! I don't blame you, you didn't know who he was?" Said Cempaka while returning his best friend's embrace.

"Oh my friend, let's continue our mission!"Take Cempaka while releasing his best friend's embrace.

Beautiful and Cempaka let go of each other's embrace. Then the two smiled at each other.

"Mbak Ranti isn't it? The one I was looking for was like this. If yes, that's the guy. Just like me, again nyuapin his son" The speech that has the house was no longer heard clearly by Cempaka.

He was no longer strong enough to withstand the million feelings that were now raging in his heart.

Cempaka could not say anything more, he could only duck languidly withstanding the plight.

"Thank you mbak! We'll excuse you, Assalamualaikum"

Indah immediately took steps to say goodbye to the host.

Cempaka seemed powerless with what he had heard and witnessed by his own eyes.

His legs felt weak, hard to take him step.

Her hand held tightly to her waist Beautifully.

"Cempaka, strengthen your heart! We have to get out of this house" Bisik Indah.

Cempaka was crying in the arms of his best friend.

"The strong yes dear, I'm always with you" Bisik Indah tried to just calm her down.

Cempaka did not answer, he dissolved in his pain.

"Ma'af! Why's he, sick?"
