Tiara entered the house to be occupied, Tiara and Satria checked every corner of the room and there should be repainted.
"Sister, this room repaint again yes, change color" said Tiara.
"OK, what color do you want?" satria asked while embracing Tiara's shoulder.
"Calm colors, good to look at. Keep the room mixed with wallpaper, let it look elegant." replied Tiara.
"Ready lady."
"Ehm.. Sis, later in the backyard, love the lights that hang, like a funny spot in the cafe - cafe so. " said Tiara gave a proposal.
"Ok, I'll put it up as your request."
Tiara hugged Satria's waist, a kiss landing on Tiara's lips, which her husband gave her.
"May we live in a new home, the beginning of a relationship, the beginning of a new household, everything begins with empty paper" Satria said.
" May our households be sadinah, Mawadah and Warohmah" said Tiara.
"Amen."

Satria sits away from her twin brother, only the two of them know. While Nature and others, do not know the real story.
Satria prefers to sit alone, rather than join Satria Esa who is sitting with other Members.
"Sat, you're alone. Here sit with us, later possessed." said Husen.
"Thank you Bang, I want to be alone again" said Satria.
"Later in the afternoon, we'll play Volly" Husen said.
"Oh Bang, I'm sorry I have someone who's remodeling the house."
"Your rented house is renovating, the loss is mending own house."
"Alhamdulillah Bang, this is my own house."
"Alhamdulillah, when did you move?" ask Nature.
"God willing, when it's done." replied Satria.
Satria Esa glanced at Satria Ade, the two twin brothers glanced at each other. Satria then woke up from his seat, and was followed by Satria Esa.
"De." call Satria Esa.
"What's wrong?" ask Satria.
"We're testing DNA, if you still don't believe it." replied Satria Esa.
" You think I want to. And you think my parents believed. If it's true that you're my twin brother, the fact that I would never tell Tiara that you're alive, I wouldn't let Tiara come back with you." say Satria .
"Tiara knows" said Satria Esa.
"What! have you met Tiara?"
"Yes I said everything, but he didn't believe me, but I will keep trying to make him believe that I'm alive."
"Please, but it won't change anything, because we're bound by a marriage."

"Sir, he said straight to the new house when he came back here?" tiara said she helped remove the uniform Satria was wearing.
"Silver wants to come back here first" said Satria.
"You want to eat right away?" tiara offers.
"No deck, I'm not having an appetite."
"Sister sick?" tanya Tiara was worried, then held onto Satria's forehead which did not feel feverish.
"No fever, but his face appeared to bend so." Tiara said back.
"What's that guy bothering you?" ask Satria.
Tiara kept quiet, and lowered her head. Satria lifted Tiara's chin, until they looked at each other.
"If he's any, you'll teach him a lesson."
"No brother, he doesn't do that anymore."
"Thank God."
"Sister, I made you some sweet iced tea, let's go."

Retno's mother walked by herself from the stall, her footsteps halted when she sensed someone was following her. Retno's mother turned her head, looking back at a man standing not far from her.
Retno's mother continued her footsteps, and looking back again, the man continued to follow until he finally ran and immediately entered the house, then locked it.
"Who is he?" said Ubi Retno, peeking out from behind the curtains, the man was still standing in front of his house.
"Don't - don't be the bad guy" Retno said peeking back.
"If it's a bad person, it means it's not safe" said Retno's mother with her heart pounding very fast.
"I have to call Satria."
Retno's mother then tried to contact Satria, with trembling hands trying to speak calmly.
"A - Assalamu'alaikum." said Retno's mother gave her greetings.
"Walaikumsalam, mother." said Satria.
"Son, help mom."
"Please ma'am?"
"Your father is out of town, and I am following like a bad man."
"What bad guy is Mom?"
"Mother doesn't know either, the man is still in front of the house. I'm afraid son, your father's out of town again."
"Mother calm down, now that mom's taking pictures from the inside, what's her face like?"
"Yes, I'll take a picture."
Elsewhere, Satria waited for a photo of her mother, then a message came in, and Satria opened the image file she received.
Satria exhaled violently, when she saw the photo sent by her mother, and Satria again contacted her mother.
"Mom."
"Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know him, but I know him. Mother calm yes he is just a crazy person who claims - ngaku, do not be afraid. If you need me, don't come out if she knocks on the door, I lock the meeting" Satria said.
"Yes, thank you."
"Yes, I'm calm, and now I'm closing all the doors and windows."
"Yes son, if that's what I want to lock everything in."
"Yes mom."
Satria then tried to contact Satria Esa, but was stopped. Satria hit the wall, until her hands turned red.
"When he arrived, I was still seeing him. If it's Esa, then Tiara leaves me, it can't happen. Even if you're alive, you won't be able to get Tiara.

Satria Esa was on the Red bridge with Inara, while looking at the swift water of the river.
" Nobody believes that I'm alive, everything has changed just because of this face. Why didn't I just die at that time, why should I be given a second chance with a different face" said Satria Esa.
"The only way, just a DNA test. That's what will make them believe, you have to do that" Inara said.
"But how, I can't convince them, not even Tiara. And Ade, wouldn't say that I'm still alive, for fear that Tiara would turn away from him."
"The matter of Tiara I've explained, but she doesn't believe kak, it's because of the face."
"I just want to know that I'm alive."
"Tiara's prayers are granted, she wants her brother still alive, when her prayers are answered, there is a different story. Patient brother yes, sister slowly - slowly to tell the truth."
"Thank you for listening to me."
"Same - same brother, just a suggestion do not expect Tiara to return, because Tiara already has. Brother must be sincere, accept reality."
"Yes, thanks for the advice."
