Many people ask themselves the meaning of happiness. Their answers vary depending on how they view the world. Some feel happy if he has abundant wealth, some are happy when they have many beautiful wives and so forth. Similarly with Daya, the happiness of Daya at this time is knowing that she can learn martial arts. Power's matchless pleasure was felt when Anthony told him that Daya could learn martial arts without having to think about money. Because if you have to pay, it is certain that Power will not be able to fulfill it.
The two of them were still by the river, Daya thanked Anthony dozens or even thousands of times. Then Anthony finally said he wanted to go back to the cabin.
"Do you still want to be here?" ask Anthony.
"Ah .. yes sir, I still want to see this river" Daya replied with a view looking at the calm flow of the river.
"Then I go in first" said Anthony leaving Daya.
Finally Anthony entered the cottage, when Anthony passed through the big door, Anthony was surprised by the whereabouts of two friends who might have eavesdropped on their conversation. Alardo was next to the door, leaning against the wall and draping his hand over his chest. Abercio was sitting on a chair with one leg up.
Alardo: "What do you mean tell Rianna about the boy you just met?"
Abercio: "Aren't you the one who said we should forget about Rianna? But what are you doing now?"
Anthony: "It is true that I said that before, but that is what a double-edged sword is for us, that is what makes us what we are! Blaming each other and feeling this was his fault!
"We don't accept the past, we don't accept the mistakes we make and we just want to forget them. Many people want to forget the past and few people learn from the past.
"I'm sorry I said that, and now I beg you. Accept the past and let's move together toward what we dream of. Don't let the past be a restraint that limits our movement. It's true that our past is very dirty, but our future is still clean, so don't ruin it! I'm sure this is what Rianna wants, which is team cohesiveness ...!" anthony said in a serious tone.
Alardo and Abercio fell silent, they remembered the time with Rianna. Alardo fell from his standing position and Abercio lowered one leg. Small fragments of memory began to appear, reflected in Rianna's smile when they were still together, the beautiful memory of Rianna's long black hair dancing in her arms. Memory transformed into a sword that slashed their hearts, the pain they could not imagine. Their faces were reddened, their feelings mixed. And then, their throats seemed to suffocate as they had to swallow the fact that they had made a mistake that could never be fixed.
"A-a-I ...." Alardo had not yet finished his words, Alardo's eyes shed tears.
Alardo could say nothing but shed his feelings into a tear. Unbearable tears came out from both of her eyeballs, her beautiful eyes reddened, her delicate cheeks turned rosy drowning in her cries. Seeing the cries of his friend, Abercio was carried away and sobbed. Their feelings were greatly shattered and their bodies and minds were weak in remembering all of that.
For a few minutes they were dissolved in grief, at this moment they had been able to calm their feelings. Their eyes still looked wet, their noses and cheeks were still flushed.
Alardo: "It looks like we have to fight from the start again, plus to fulfill Anthony's promise to Daya. Isn't that the chairman?"
Abercio: "Haha, right. There's a lot of things we're gonna do!" said Abercio and Alardo slowly. Occasionally in their breath.
Anthony: "Thank you guys" Anthony said with a smile.

After a while Daya saw the flowing river water, now Daya back into the cottage. When Daya entered the cottage, the old man who greeted Daya in the morning gave her a letter giving Anthony. Daya received the letter and rushed into her room to see and read the contents of the letter. The letter reads,
"We will continue our journey. Thank you, thanks to meeting and talking to you, we are all aware of our past mistakes. We have accepted our mistake and will continue our journey which some time has stalled. I have spoken to the owner of this cottage and he has agreed to accept you in his cottage. Be more powerful Power, and we shall meet again"
Power smiled and folded and put the letter back into place. Daya comes out of the room and intends to meet the old man she met in the morning to ask about his training. Power at the door. Daya searched for the old man, but found no old man anywhere he looked for him. Finally after a while Daya managed to find him. The old man was sitting on a wooden chair in the courtyard of the cottage. Daya approached the old man and said,
"Excuse me sir, do you know who owns this cabin? I'd like to ask you about when the practice will begin,"
The old man looked up and said,
"Do you know how much it costs to train here, boy?" the old man asked, reversing the question.
"G ... Mr. Anthony said that he knew the owner of this cottage and had allowed me to practice for free" Daya said.
"Oh .. it turns out that Tony's boy you are, I'm the owner of this cabin and your training will start tomorrow, so be prepared!"
Daya was surprised because she did not think that the old man in front of her was the owner of this cottage.
"This old man said 'you guys'? so I'm not the only one practicing here, am I?" think Power in the heart.
"Good, sir."
"And don't call me sir, call me Abdi Mas!"
"Okay Mr. Abdi!" said Daya was friendly with a little bowing her body.
The clock shows at 08:23, Daya rushed out to go back to her hut to pick up items that might still be needed. When Daya wants to leave, it turns out that Ben willingly gives a ride to Daya. After a long journey, Daya arrived in her hut and took her valuable things and returned to the cottage where she now resides. Accompanied by Ben, Daya can return quickly. The clock shows at 13:20, due to fatigue Daya decided to sleep in her room while waiting for the next day to arrive.
