Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, Fandi was still fixated silently staring at a point in front of him. His eyes did not blink. His heart beats faster. Her chest feels very tight. His lips froze, unable to say anymore. Fandi found a reality he had never expected. The orange woman he always fought for, it turns out that he had been living happily without even thinking about it.
‘So, why would this be? Turns out this is a reply to my great love for you.’ Mumbled Fandi in his heart.
Fandi's heart was broken. His disappointment is too big. For years he lived with the shadow of an orange. Never a day did he stop looking and thinking about the orange. But it turns out that even Orange lives happily with other men.
“That means my son Rik?” Ask Fandi with a stifled voice.
“It looks like Orange has long aborted your child bro.” Riko's reply calmed Fandi down in order to patiently accept the reality.
“Why did I never believe even a single Orange would do that? I should have known from the beginning Rik.” Fandi repeated his words many times.
“Prophet bro! I know this is all heavy. Now you're married too. I hope you can reorganize your life and start a new life with Laura your wife. Remember bro! Now your wife is Laura. It won't be hard for you to fall in love again.” Riko tried to advise Fandi.
“Iya Rik, I know.” Reply Fandi expressionlessly.
Finished sipping his coffee, Fandi asks Riko to drive him to the hotel. During the trip Fandi did not talk much after hearing the harsh reality of Riko. It sounds painful to Fandi, but that's the reality he has to accept. The orange woman he had been waiting for, turned out to be the wife of a rich man and lived happily.

Fandi steps his foot into the hotel lobby leaving Riko who has escorted him. Fandi took her things into her room. Fandi sorted out what he would bring back tomorrow. Fandi took a picture figura containing a portrait of his togetherness and the orange first.
“So, why is everything like this? It all looks wrong. I know you've married another man. I know now I have no right to have this feeling, but still this heart cannot just kill this love. A feeling that has inhabited this heart for years. If only you'd given me a little chance.” Fandi repeatedly rubbed a photo of Orange.
It is very hard for Fandi to forget the Orange that has been inhabiting the niche of his heart for years.
“That's who?” Ask Laura curiously. Laura leaned her body to see the photo of who Fandi was holding.
“Not your business!” Answer Fandi ketus.
“That's your girlfriend?” Laura asked raised her eyebrows.
Fandi just kept quiet and did not look at Laura. Laura just smiled heavily at Fandi's expression. Fandi put his stuff back in the bag.
“Why break up?” Ask Laura again. Fandi stopped her activities, this time she turned to Laura.
“Not your business!” Fandi replied again still cranky.
“Okee, I know! And I'm sure your lover must have married a rich man and dumped you. Hehehee.” Reply Laura mocked Fandi. Laura guessed without knowing the real events. Fandi immediately approached Laura.
“You're right? He dumped me and married a rich man. What's different about me now?” Fandi stared at Laura cynically with her eyes that had started to turn red.
“I'm not even surprised if a woman dumps you! Which makes me wonder why there are women who want to be in love with a strange man like you?” Further Laura returned Fandi's cynical gaze.
“Once again it's none of your business!” Fandi left Laura with her face off. Fandi took his clothes and went into the bathroom to clean himself up.
That night Fandi and Laura didn't talk anymore. Fandi put a photo of the orange back in his bag. Either Fandi has not been able to move on or deliberately hide it so that it is not known by Laura. At that time, Laura was Fandi's legal wife. Fandi doesn't want Laura to know that she still can't forget her past.
