After Hana's departure, Rigel rubbed his face rough. He regretted having spoken a little harshly by his mother, but this time Hana had indeed gone too far. Wherever Rigel could remarry another woman when he loved Elijah so much, he also did not want to make Elijah hurt by it.
Seeing Rigel's chaotic face, Elijah rubbed Rigel's shoulders to calm him down. Rigel hugged Elijah tightly to give him strength.
"I'm sorry, baby, you don't have to think about what you said. Brother promised you, You are my only wife and there will be no other woman in our marriage" Rigel said so that Elijah would not think of Hana's words.
"Yes, my brother is also calm yeah .. don't be too emotional when talking to mom. How also mama is a mother who has given birth, raised and also her paradise brother. So, Brother do not be like this again yes .. at this time mama must be sad, see her son dare to snap at her for the sake of other women, " Elijah said.
Rigel let go of his embrace, then took Elijah's hand." Don't you hate your mom? " ask Rigel.
Elijah smiled and shook his head, indicating that he did not hate Hana. Although Hana never liked him, often made him depressed etc. Elijah did not hate Hana, if annoyed maybe yes but not hate.
" Why can't you see your heart is as soft as this, even though your mother has often hurt your heart. But you still do good, try to be a good daughter-in-law, and don't hate her."
" I'm not as good as you say. I am also a normal person who has pain and irritation. But it's not hate, if I hate my mom, too. How is it different for me to be with Mom? " elia replied with a smile on her lips.
Her lips did indeed comment on the smile, but her heart was crumpled and aching. Elijah is good at hiding his own feelings, he always tries to smile even though his heart is hurt.
" Thank you dear, you are truly the perfect woman God sent me!" rigel said, hugging Elijah back.

Day after day had passed, ever since the quarrel that happened a few days ago. Hannah never came to Elijah and Rigel again. Rigel apologized, but Hana was still angry and scolded Rigel. Today Elijah has a night shift schedule, so he goes home when Rigel has left for the office.
Today is a very special day for Elijah and Rigel, where today is their 5-year anniversary. Because Elijah is guarding the night shift and no one can replace him, he was forced to not be able to give a surprise in the morning.
Unable to give a surprise in the morning, Elijah planned to decorate the house when he came home from the hospital. After the shift change began, Elijah immediately went home and shopped for the decorations and cooking needs he would prepare for Rigel on his wedding anniversary.
Arriving at home, Elijah is greeted by his house Art who helps to bring groceries. Actually Elijah wanted to cook immediately, but the drowsiness in his eyes really could not be held anymore due to night watch and not sleep in the slightest. Finally Elijah decided to sleep for a while and told the maid to prepare and cut the ingredients he bought, so that when he woke up he would just cook it.
Arriving in his room, Elijah immediately laid his body on the soft mattress that he had longed for last night. Without taking a long time, Elijah fell asleep immediately when he smelled the scent of a pillow.
On the other hand, a handsome man was sitting in his chair while reading important company documents. Jerone Rigel Ervinosa is the Executive Manager of The Star Resort.
Ervinosa family is a family that has a resort business. Ervinosa family-owned resorts have penetrated into various tourist attractions in certain cities. And is currently planning to build a resort in the sumba area which is still under construction.
There was a knock on the door from outside Rigel's office.
"Come in" cried Rigel from inside the room.
Hearing that there was an order to enter, Asterio opened the door of Rigel's room and entered the room. Asteria or commonly called Aster walking towards the place where his boss is.
"What's the Aster?" ask Rigel who is still opening a document without looking at Aster.
"Look at the boss, the project in Sumba seems to be a problem. So .." Aster was a little afraid to say this because this morning Rigel had ordered to clear all his schedule because he was going to dinner with Elijah tonight.
" What is Aster? Why don't you continue? "ask Rigel by looking at Aster's slightly paled face.
" Look boss, I've been trying to clear your schedule. But, suddenly the project manager in Sumba said that today we have to go there because … "
"What! Can't it be undressed?" sidela Rigel answered a slab by Aster.
Rigel rubbed his face roughly, upon seeing the reply from Aster. Aster has also explained that the situation there is really urgent and must be taken care of immediately. So inevitably, Rigel has to go there.
Rigel tries to contact Elijah, but his call is never picked up by Elijah.
"El .. Where are you? Why on the phone don't you try!"
Rigel paced while trying to contact Elijah's number, but never picked up either. Then Rigel tried to call the landline but no one picked him up.
" Where are all the people home! Why doesn't anyone answer the phone" Rigel sighed.
"Boss, we've got to go!" said Aster who gave notice that they have to go to Sumba right now. Because still can't call Elijah, and the battery of his phone suddenly almost runs out making Rigel even more upset. He immediately sent a message before his phone completely died.
Alarm continues to sound filling Elijah's room. Make him immediately wake up from his sleep, look at the alarm clock that has been shown at 11 noon. He got up from his bed and walked down to the kitchen.
The face of the pillow and the hair that ruffled, showed that Elijah had just woken up. Elijah immediately washed his hands and cooked the food he would cook for dinner tonight.
About an hour he struggled with food ingredients, finally having matured all. Elijah went up to his room to take a shower and get ready. Soon she was finished wearing a beautiful dress and also a thin makeup.
When finished Elijah took his phone on the nightstand without opening it, because he had not decorated the table that he would use for dinner.
While Elijah was busy decorating the dining table, his phone rang. Immediately he picked it up.it turns out that no his mother called.
Elijah: Hello Assalamualaikum bun, What's wrong?
Mother: Hello mb, I just want to say that the owner of this phone has an accident.
Elijah's body suddenly squeezed, his chest felt tight and his world seemed to stop when he heard the news. Tears had gone out soaking his cheeks, Elijah immediately looked for Rigel's number to contact him. But Rigel's number was off and there was a message from Rigel.
Rigels.
Honey, brother, I'm sorry. Because tonight can't go home and celebrate our anniversary, because suddenly my brother has a sudden business and must go to sumba. Brother promises after returning from sumba, brother will make up for our delayed event. You take good care of yourself. I love you dear and happy 5th Anniversary.
At the sight of the message, Elijah closed his eyes and breathed his long breath. Why did this happen at the same time. He needs Rigel to be next to him, but he doesn't exist. Without thinking for long, Elijah immediately contacted Seruni to accompany him back to bandung.
Arriving at the hospital said by the person who called him earlier, Elijah immediately looked for where the whereabouts of his father, mother and brother. When Elijah arrived at the ER room he was shocked by the news that all his family had died, none of whom had survived.
Elijah drowned on the floor, his body no longer able to stand. Seeing Elijah drowning, Seruni helped him stand up and strengthened him to see the bodies of his father, mother and brother.
"Dad .. Mother .. wake up, why do you have Ninggalin Lia Alone .. hiks... hiks.." cried Elijah broke to fill the whole room. Elijah hugged the body of his mother who had been cold, stiff, and was no longer breathing.
He was crying so much. He never thought that his father, mother and brother would leave so soon he left himself alone in this world. Kakanya had just gotten married, but she had already left this world.
Unable to endure her sadness, Elijah fainted.
"El .. wake up El ..." call Seruni and immediately he asks the nurse for help to move Elijah.

If Elijah is grieving, Rigel is also immediately preoccupied with taking care of a problematic project with the employees there and Claire Florencia. Claire is the architect of the resort this time around, and Claire is also Rigel's childhood friend.
It's getting late, and the meeting's just finished. Completed tight Rigel's eyes feel very sleepy, his head a little dizzy to make his way a little staggered. Where the room was left was only Rigel and Claire, while Aster was out with other workers .
Seeing Rigel staggering, Claire tries to help Rigel get back to his spy.
"Take off me Claire, I can walk on my own" said Rigel, who tried to release Claire's body.
"How do you walk by yourself, if it's like this! Let me help you okay!" answer Claire who won't let Rigel go.
Dizziness and drowsiness further assaulted Rigel, leaving him helpless and letting Claire help him return to the inn.
Arriving inside the inn, suddenly heat attacks Rigel's body to make Rigel think Claire is Elijah.
"El ... You here? Brother miss you El, sorry Brother yes on our Anniversary day. Brother is not there beside you to celebrate," Rigel rattled by touching Claire's face with both palms of his hands.
"Ri, I'm Claire, not Elijah!"
Rigel. "No! You are Elijah my most beautiful wife and I love so much .... Cup," a kiss landed on Claire's lips.
