Elsewhere, Father and Mother Dian were busy picking star fruit in the back garden. Meanwhile, they see Dian, Ryan, and Ratna sitting on the back porch of the house with thoughtful gazes.
"Did you see that, sir?" mother Dian asked Father Dian while pointing towards them.
"Yes, Mother. It seems like they are talking about something serious," Father Dian replied as he pondered on Dian's expression with his two seemingly thoughtful companions.
Dian's mother was worried and asked, "Did they think about that problem, sir? Are they okay?"
Dian's father pondered for a moment before replying, "It's hard to say for sure. It seems like the matter was quite complicated for them. However, as parents, we must give them the space to solve their own problems, as long as we are ready to support them if needed."
Mother Dian nodded in agreement, "You're right. Maybe they need time to talk and find a solution. But if they need our help, we should be ready to listen and provide support without judgment."
Dian's father gently clasped Mom Dian's hand, "Mum, Mother. Our children have grown up, and we must trust them to deal with these problems wisely."

Ryan, who has known Raka and Rani for longer than Dian and Ratna, tries to create a brighter atmosphere with his jokes. As if he did not care about Raka and Rani's problems, he said in his casual style, "Mmmhhhh, no lakinya, no girl. Always make people think. Well, they make other people like that."
Ratna laughed and greeted Ryan's joke, "Mas really knows how to distract, huh? But anyway, if they need support, we need to be ready to help."
Ryan agreed, "Yes, right. But for now, let's enjoy a moment together in this garden. The star fruit looks tempting."
joking Ryan was able to break the dream of Ratna who was beside him but not for Dian who still seemed to think of Raka and Rani.
Dian with a thoughtful look. She keeps twisting Rani's words in her mind, trying to figure out what's really inside her best friend's heart. Yesterday they talked about the solution to Dian's pregnant problem, and now, the problem has been resolved. However, Rani seems to have a new problem with the existing solution.
"Why can Rani be so confused?" murmured Dian in the heart. "Did she feel stuck between personal happiness and responsibility as a best friend?"
Dian pondered over all the possibilities that could cause Rani to feel that way. Rani really loves Raka, but also feels called to help Dian. Dian doesn't want to be a burden to her best friend, but she also doesn't want Rani to sacrifice her happiness.
"Dian, what are you thinking?" tanya Ratna, who realized that Dian looked speechless.
Dian looked at Ratna with concern. "I'm worried about Mrs Rani, Rat. He seems to have a heavy burden. I don't want him to feel stuck between his own desires and his responsibilities as a friend."
Ratna nodded in understanding, "I also feel worried about that, She. But what can we do?"
Dian sighed, "I don't know, Rat. Maybe I should talk to Rani again to convince her that I'm okay and we should think things through clearly. I don't want him to sacrifice his happiness because of me."
Ryan who has since tried to melt the atmosphere invites Ratna and Dian to pick star fruit with Dian's parents who have been picking star fruit from earlier.
"Well, let's go pick the star fruit!" take Ryan with a cheerful smile.
Dian and Ratna felt a little sidetracked from their worried feelings. They agree with Ryan's invitation and rush towards the back garden, followed by Ryan who is still pleasant with his behavior.
"A long time ago we didn't pick star fruit, did we?" ryan said as he picked the ripe fruit from the tree.
Ratna and Dian smiled. They were amused by Ryan's joy. Although Raka and Rani's problems still haunt Dian's mind, she tries to enjoy this simple moment with her friends.
"Mas Ryan, you are indeed great at distracting," Ratna said with a smile.
Ryan shrugged leisurely, "Yes, of course. I'm always ready with my jokes to make you laugh."
While picking star fruit, they joked and laughed together. Dian's face started to look brighter even though it still felt burdened with the thought of Raka and Rani.
After being quite satisfied with the results of picking star fruit, they brought a basket full of small fruit to the back veranda. Father and Mother Dian who were still busy picking their star fruit greeted with a smile.
"Thank you for helping, boys," Dian's father said sincerely.
Dian's mother gently rubbed Dian's head, "How, son? Have you enjoyed your time in the garden?"
Dian nodded, "Yes, Mother. Thank you for bringing us here. It makes Dian feel better."
Dian's father smiled, "Good then. You know, in life, not all problems can be solved immediately. But while we have supportive family and friends, we can get through all those obstacles."
Ratna and Ryan agreed with Dian's father. They saw how strong the brotherhood and friendship that existed in the Dian family was. Their worry about Raka and Rani is still there, but they also know that Dian will always have the support of all of them.

Raka who was still sitting in the living room with a serious look, while Rani was sitting next to him, clasping her hands anxiously. They both feel the need to talk about the idea of Raka who previously wanted to adopt Dian's child when she was born. However, Rani doubts whether Dian will agree to the plan.
"Rani, Mas still feels that adopting Dian's child is a good idea" Raka said gently. "We've been together long enough. Means we won't have any problems taking care of Dian during her pregnancy. I know how much you love Dian, and Mas wants to be a father to this child, just like Mas wants to be your husband."
Rani nodded, but her expression was still full of doubt, "Rani knows, Mas. But Rani is also worried about whether Dian will feel burdened or feel that we are interfering with her decision as a mother. Although Rani knows that we just want to give our best to Dian and this child, but this is a big decision that should involve Dian as well."
Raka clasped Rani's hand tightly, "Mas understands your feelings. We don't want to make Dian feel forced or pressured by our decisions. But can we talk about it with Dian and convey our good intentions?"
Rani sighed, "Rani felt it was a wise move. We should talk honestly to Dian and listen to her opinion. If he disagrees, we must respect his decision. We can't force it."
Raka nodded, "Again. We'll talk to Dian and give him time to think it over well."
A little while later, Dian came into the house. He looked at Raka and Rani who were still sitting in the living room with serious expressions. He felt that there was something they wanted to talk about.
"Dian, there's something we want to talk about" Raka said softly.
Rani added, "We both want to talk to you about our plans to adopt your child who will be born."
