Arang and Edgar were enjoying dinner at the Villa. During the day they went around, Arang laughed a lot. Although he laughed with Ratna, Edgar was already happy.

"Arang, are you going to be alone tomorrow?"

"Where?"

"All right, just want to go for a walk."

Arang seemed to think for a moment and then nodded.

"Only two, Arang. Without Ratna."

Charcoal looked at Edgar.

"I know."

Edgar's eyes sparkled with pleasure.

"Ed, when are we going to Jakarta?"

Edgar seemed to think.

"What are you hiding in Jakarta?" ask Arang.

"In addition to Karin," continued Charcoal.

Edgar tried to laugh.

"Can we not discuss Karin at this time?"

Arang sipped his drink.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Sometimes I just wonder what he looks like."

"Do we know each other...?"

Edgar nodded.

Arang looked at Edgar's face.

"Edgar, if my memory came back and you lied to me, what would you do?"

Edgar.

"Whatchu mean? I'm not lying to you."

Arang laughs.

"Don't get mad. I just want to see your reaction. I'm sorry, but can I go to the room first? I'm really tired."

Edgar nodded.

Charcoal stood up and before leaving, he looked back at Edgar.

"Edgar, thank you. Today I was very happy. "then he smiled. A genuine smile without coercion. Edgar could only.

Can't you give me that smile every day?

"Ratna, help me with my medicine!" Charcoal leaves Edgar while calling Ratna, who is caught carrying the medicine to the room.

**

"Non, you should only take that medicine if you can't sleep." Ratna reminded.

Arang looked at Ratna.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."

Ratna tidied the window curtains and prepared to leave the room.

"Wait for Ratna, sit down for a minute."

Ratna stopped her steps and looked at Arang in confusion.

"Lock the door first."

Ratna followed Arang's orders and sat down hesitantly at the edge of the bed.

"What's wrong Miss?"

Arang looked at Ratna's face.

"Actually I'm still not sure, but I decided to risk my life trusting you."

"Did? Sorry miss, I don't understand."

"Ratna, I need your help and your trust."

Ratna was getting clueless.

"Tomorrow we'll go, you stay here."

Ratna was still looking at Arang who took out a piece of paper from inside her bag.

"Please, help me find my past."

"But Miss..."

Arang held Ratna's hand.

"If until I die first without knowing the truth of my past, you're the first person I go to when I'm lost."

Ratna swallowed.

"Alright, I will do as you wish Miss."

Arang smiled happily.

"All right, now you can go."

Ratna immediately exited the room with many questions.

Edgar and Arang left early in the morning by car. Edgar brought Arang to visit the temples. Although Arang was not so interested in the existence of the temples, but he was very excited. Charcoal likes to be outside the house, he is very enthusiastic to ask Edgar to buy him various kinds of goods every time it passes the souvenir seller. He always held Edgar, as if afraid that the man had suddenly disappeared. Edgar was also very happy, they looked like real lovers.

"Would you try riding a delman?"

Arang nodded happily.

"Have you been to Prambanan?" ask the owner of Delman.

"Not yet, sir." Arang answered.

"We're not there, sir." Edgar answered.

"Ooh, not married yet?"

"Heheh yes Sir.." Edgar answered in embarrassment while Arang looked at Edgar in surprise.

"Why don't we go to Prambanan?" Arang railed against Edgar when they were back in the car.

"You don't remember the myth either."

"What mythos?"

"Unmarried couples to Prambanan can be cursed. Their relationship could end."

"Huh? Did ya? Then we should be there."

Edgar braked his car suddenly.

"If our relationship is stopped by the temple curse, all problems are solved. You don't have to keep hiding me."

Edgar looked at Arang and Charcoal laughed.

"I'm kidding. I feel cursed now."

"You know why Rara Jonggrang is cursed?"

"Edgar don't keep asking me things I don't know. I don't even know why I'm cursed, why should I know Rara Jonggrang's business?"

Edgar laughed for a moment.

"Why are you laughing?"

"none. I just feel good to see you back like this, talk a lot."

Arang threw his face out the window.

"So why is Rara Jonggrang cursed?"

Edgar stared straight out.

"Because Rara Jonggrang continues to deceive the half-dead prince to realize his wishes. Bondowoso loves RaraJonggrang but the princess has the heart to deceive him. Rara Jonggrang was cursed, she became a stone, fulfilling a thousand temples that failed to be built."

Arang quietly listened. Edgar was silent as well.

"I don't want us to get cursed."

Arang.

"Saddening, shouldn't Bondowoso not force his love on Rara Jonggrang?"

Edgar shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you think it's easy to erase love?" Edgar was back running the car engine.

Charcoal looked out the window.

"I'm still in the stage of learning to love, not erase love."

Edgar glanced at Arang and then thought again.

Heavy rain flushed Jogjakarta. No exception Villa where Arang and Edgar are located. They had arrived in front of Villa, but due to the heavy rain, they did not get off the car. Edgar had repeatedly honked and called Ratna, but five minutes had passed, no one came out carrying an umbrella.

"You wait here first yeah, let me go in and get an umbrella." Edgar will get out of the car when Arang holds him.

"Don't you get soaked. Let's just wait here."

Edgar looked at Arang and then paused his intention to come out.

The two of them then just sat quietly staring at the heavy rain.

"Edgar, I'm happy to be able to live a normal life like this."

Edgar turned his head, looking at Arang who was seriously looking at the rain grains before him.

"I'm happy to walk and have a casual chat with you. I guess if this keeps up, I can really love you."

Edgar took a breath.

"You said this before."

Arang was surprised, he looked.

"really?"

Edgar nodded. Arang was curious, he brought himself closer to Edgar, making the man instantly freeze.

"Then what happened? did I fall in love with you? or did you fall in love with me first?"

Edgar looked at Arang.

"Then, we're engaged."

Edgar answered slowly, he looked at Arang's face.

"Arang, I've always loved you." Edgar approached and gently held Charcoal's cheek.

"I never didn't love you" Edgar said.

Charcoal closed his eyes, letting Edgar who was trying to touch his lips. Arang did not refuse.

"I have to make you sure" Arang said, then as if he had unwittingly returned Edgar's kiss.

While the two were still kissing in the car, the stunned Ratna carried an umbrella in the pouring rain, staring at the two in shock.

"Ah, Miss, I'm getting confused." Ratna turned her body and smiled slightly.

"It would be better if it made her happy."

Meanwhile from a hidden spot, someone looked towards the car in shock, his hands trembling taking pictures.
