Off Flashback.
Toni is silent at the thought of Bram, her own father. Her tears came to hear the story of her mother. But he couldn't be angry about it either. He knew the same thing he had done to the woman he loved so much, Kamelia.
Idris let out a long sigh before continuing his story. Rahmah's hand continued to rub the shoulder of the middle-aged man who was her husband.
"Without the blessing of the Duke's grandfather, Rianti was married by Bram. Papa forced your grandfather to be their marriage guardian. But your grandfather won't. By forced Papa to ask for his power to be the guardian of Papa's own younger brother.
Papa loves him very much... Even Papa couldn't have had to let her get away from us.
But your grandfather's decision is everything that must be obeyed. Papa decided to bring Mama and Kemil to move from this village. Until finally papa got the news that Rianti died while giving birth to Toni at that time.
Everyone in this village knows about it, but they prefer to shut up because of your grandfather's request. The villagers are deeply indebted to your grandfather who created the job and he is a highly respected man. So they won't open the veil of your grandfather's past." Idris looked far ahead of him. But that look was so empty.
"So, is it why Papa would willingly give his life to him?" Kamelia asked still did not understand the way her in-laws thought.
"Papa simply did not want the mandate of the Duke's grandfather not to be carried out, Kamel. Bram wanted to take some of the land that belonged to the Duke's grandfather. And he didn't want that to happen. That's why Papa's defending the land." His heart was not inexhaustible with the sign of his daughter-in-law.
"Now it's clear to Idris... What does this have to do with Papa?" Ramdani immediately shot his question to his papa, Agung.
Agung who carried away the atmosphere of their past, suddenly hesitated to hear his son's question directed directly to him.
It was not only Kamelia and Kemil who were staring intently at him. Toni who was curious about the kindness of her husband and wife to him, was also waiting for an answer from the father Kamelia.
Glanced at Idris.
"Tell me... There's nothing more to hide from them." Idris seemed to understand the meaning of the Great gaze.
"Papa just felt guilty about his mother Toni, Dan... Papa shouldn't be selfish at that." He began to look back at his past. The past that he did not want to bury at any time. It was just his guilt that made him so afraid to reveal it again.

The Flashback
Agung drove his car at a slightly fast pace. His face was so panicked hearing his wife's moans. Occasionally he stroked Maya's very distended stomach and was beside him.
"Yes Allah... Be patient, baby... We'll be at the puskesmas soon." Agung occasionally squeezes his wife's fingers.
"Paa... That's it, isn't Rianti's aunt?" Said little Ramdani who was five years old at the time was on their back bench.
Agung sharpened his gaze to the large pregnant woman with a man who was still a little away from their car in front of him.
"Oh yeah, Pa... That's it, right Rianti..." Maya who was in pain spoke up.
"Well, you know... Kok Riantian was left with Bram... Where's the bram, Pa?" Maya even lost her pain seeing her husband's best friend's sister.
"Already, Mah... Just leave them... Mama can't remember the last time we met them. Bram raised his fist at Papa because he thought Papa was approaching Rianti." Agung seemed to close his eyes when Rianti tried to wave his hand to the car he was driving.
"Paaa... Poor loooh.." Maya said as she passed Rianti in pain on the side of the road.
"Mama just close your eyes... Let's just say Mama didn't see anything. Papa's sure Bram didn't really leave Rianti." Grandi spoke while calming his heart. Actually he who can not see his best friend's sister who has been considered a sister anyway.
Glazed Great Eyes witnessed the state of Rianti at that time.
The Great Heart also could not bear to ignore the woman on the road alone in a state of pain and tears like that.
Forgive my Great Brother, Rianti... Brother still remembers how Bram warned Great Brother at that time so that he would no longer meet you.
The Great Mind is branching. Between worrying about his wife but also the thought of his best friend's sister as well.
At the puskesmas, Agung looks very happy. The baby girl he was hoping for was finally born into the world.
Ramdani did not stop blabbering from earlier because he was so happy for the presence of his sister.
When the Great came out to take care of something. He met someone he knew at the puskesmas.
"Great Den..." Call that person with an anxious face.
"Sir Kariim... What's the matter, father?" Tanya Agung while approaching the person called by the name of Karim.
"That, den... Non Chant..." He nodded while pointing at a room.
"Why Rianti, sir?" Without waiting for Mr. Karim's answer, Agung immediately ran to the room appointed by Mr. Karim.
"Buk Midwife... What happened to Rianti?" Agung looks panicked when a Midwife comes out of the room.
"His husband's father Rianti's mother?" Ask the midwife to him.
"No, buk... I'm a friend of her husband."
"Please contact Rianti's mother's husband, that he is currently being critical because of postpartum bleeding. It is likely that he will be referred to the hospital for further treatment." Said the Midwife.
"Good, buk... But before I open it, can I see him?" Ask again.
"Please, sir... I hope immediately sir, so that the handling can be done quickly. If it's too late, it'll put his life at risk." Said the midwife again. The grand immediately entered the room.
"Mirgin..." Agung approached Rianti who was lying weakly on top of the room's gurney.
"Sir A-gung... Rianti min - ta To - long... A-nak Ri-yan-ti sister..." The last sentence in the poor woman's life made Agung woeful. Regret hit his chest. The shadow of Rianti waving his hand just now continues to haunt his mind at that time.
Many times he called the name of his best friend's sister, but his call did not get the authorization of the owner of the name.
The woman was silent in her peace. He had left the world before meeting his family.
