Glorien was quite sorry why Mada would not tell him about the existence of the Ocean. Now the day goes as if both feet do not tread the earth. His life was like drifting in an uncertain direction, holding his soul back without taste.
Until a week later, Rohan Pascal began to feel that something was wrong with the behavior and attitude of the princess. This is the value of Glorien who rarely eat breakfast and dinner together, more locked himself after college, also a face that looks more pale.
That afternoon, Mbok Rum called Rohan into his room to at least answer some questions about the princess.
“Nona Glo just catch a cold, sir. Plus the campus duties are piling up, the doctor said he was exhausted as well.” As much as possible Mbok Rum put on a reasonable expression. He could not tell the truth because he was worried that something bad happened to his wife. Rohan Pascal will not remain silent especially with Legowo receiving a baby in Glorien's womb, if all is known to the man at this time.
Glo conditions are chaotic and slumped. The treatment of the father will only worsen the situation that has been bad basically.
With his sharp eyes, Rohan looked at Mbok who was standing in front with his hands linked in front of his stomach and ducked. “Good. Mbok can come out. I'll meet Glo in his room later.”
Mbok Rum nodded obediently. “Good, Sir. I excuse.”

Sukabuki.
Both Darius and Miana, both of them did not care and tried to close their ears tightly. Telling people about the return of Samudra to the hometown did invite inappropriate fanfare around. Luckily Miana and her father were already too immune to offense, heartache, let alone retaliate. An innocent ocean-one sentence that remains both believed to this day and possibly to the end of life.
The ocean has now recovered. People are also starting to adapt.
Darius' vegetable plantations are quite extensive. The one thing that could not be avoided, the mouthful of rice that went into their throat and stomach around, was the result of being workers in Darius' garden. Thus they are quite embarrassed to be anarchist on the Ocean even if it is just throwing jokes.
But as time went on, beliefs about the innocence of the Ocean began to grow in the minds of the people. The warm and caring and loving attitude that the young man displayed sent the hate inside them into empathy. Now the good name of Samudra has really returned.

Ocean berbasrah. The problem with Glorien, it's probably over. He will start a new life in Sukabumi like he used to.
Today the young man's rations sent vegetables to the border market. A black pick-up car he drove. One employee Darius joined the role of a dismantler later, sitting in a seat next to the Ocean.
Busyness began to appear after the two reached their destination.
Samudra helps his alakadar.
“Ngopi first yuk, Kang.” Samudra asked the man to call it Kang Omon. His thick mustache made Kang Omon look like a thug, but he was kind and not arrogant nor did he eat soap.
“Hayu!” sahut Kang Omon enthusiastically.
A coffee shop on the edge of the market selected Samudra. Two cups of black coffee served on order. Kang Omon lit a cigarette while leaning against the pole enjoying the moment. While the drizzle starts to fall, it spreads in all open corners.
One piece of packaged bread was taken from the basket on the table. He peels and chews tastefully.
At the same time, a girl walked towards a grocery store next to the tavern. The ocean watches through the tail of the eye at first, until then the head coils with interest.
The more he noticed, the more he recognized the figure.
“Riani.” The sea called out the name of the woman.
Riani is a girl who six years ago liked and chased after her like crazy.
Riani also indirectly caused her to be hounded without blame due to baseless accusations.
Yep! Riani is the son of the owner of a textile factory that made Samudra as one of the accused of robbery at that time, to wallow five years in prison.
The ocean rejected the girl's love for several reasons.
But who would have thought, the rejection was actually a lighter that ignited the anger of Riani's father, until the allegations of robbery were abundant in the Ocean. Everything seems to have been planned carefully. Darius and the Ocean are like a trodden cockroach incapable of roaring a defense, for the validity of all evidence. Somehow it all happened.
“Kang, wait a moment, yes!" samudra said to Kang Omon.
“By us, Sam?”¹ ask Kang Omon.
“Memuin son of a Scout!”
Kang Omon is in a hurry. “Basic slave ngora!”² Then gobble up one fried banana on a tray greedily.
And at this time ....
“Hay, Riani!”
The woman turned spontaneously then was stunned. The man who said hello and now stands in front of him clearly he recognizes even though it takes at least a few seconds. “S-Samudra,” hisses.
“How are you doing?” tanya Samudra was so relaxed. Polished chill deliberately to cover up the real windy attitude in the heart. He still had quite a grudge against the woman especially her family.
Not answering, Riani instead backed off stiffly, then ran away in her steps.
Smiling ocean. Once he moved, he managed to grab the woman's wrist.
“Ka-you want what?” tanya stutters Riani. The expression clearly showed a tremendous fear. Many times he tried to withdraw his hand from the Ocean check, but to no avail.
“Why fear so?” ask Samudra's.
Riani did not answer. His throat felt heavy as if it was choking. His pair of round eyes circled the face of the Ocean here and there as if pleading.
“I just want to talk," said Samudra.
Riani was finally silent. The tension slowly loosened. “Ma-mau chat what?” tanyanya while wiping the wrist that just released Samudra.
“We look for a place.”
The wide steps of the Ocean followed Riani. The young woman walked in the back, occasionally stealing a glance at the back of the Ocean that looked more stocky than she remembered nearly six years ago. No doubt, his heart was still rustling indicating that feeling was still in his heart. Moreover, Samudra is now much more handsome and mature at the age of 24.
“Here aja!”
In front of a kiosk closed. One long chair occupied the Ocean first. Riani hesitated afterwards.
The chatter of pleasantries started smoothly from the two. Until arriving at the core sentence of the successful Ocean made Riani surprised and then bowed deeply.
“Is your father satisfied after successfully jailing me? And did your life calm down after that?”
Riani started sobbing. Her tears kept falling on the pair of hands she had tapped on her thighs.
Samudra is not the king. Seeing the woman crying, he was like seeing Miana who was struggling crying screaming as she was held by the police at the time. His heart rippled. “Udah, no need to answer!” he said while turning his face away.
“My father has been rewarded for his sin by you, Samudra! He's got a stroke now, can't help it. Our business is bankrupt. Mom went to leave us. My school is also a mess. And now I'm married to an old fish man, just to help out with dad's treatment!”
