The morning sun has shown its light and warms the inhabitants of this village, some of the residents have carried out their activities by working in the garden.
"Sir, you are sure to leave right now" mbok Sri told Riana
"Jih mbok." said Riana
Mbok Sri was seen sighing for a moment, then looked at Riana fixedly.
"But promise yo later we will live together again" said his mother Damar chimed in
"Njih bude." said Riana looked at her mother Damar
"It's Damar pie anyway, I haven't come yo yet" said Damar's mother
Riana was stunned for a moment, then she smiled wryly. Damar has not come since, after deciding to go to Ketang village last night.
"You've been mbok, bude, Riana's saying good now" said Riana
Suddenly the two middle-aged women turned towards Riana, from the look on the face of mbok Sri and her mother Damar it was seen that they wanted to hold Riana for a while longer, but they did not want to make Riana uncomfortable.
"Yowes, you heart yo" said mbok Sri
"Take care of yourself" said Damar's mother again chimed
"Jih bude, mbok, I must be fine don't worry yo." said Riana
After saying goodbye, Riana immediately passed from the face of the two middle-aged women who were staring at her heartily. After looking back but already not seen mbok Sri and her mother Damar, and make sure that soon deserted Riana darted fast until only a strong wind was seen.
His current goal is to ketang village first, he wants to keep an eye on the black-robed man precisely Mahendra's brother. He wanted to know what plan they would prepare, because it had been days too Mahendra no longer visited Riana.
While in the same village but in a different place, two men were talking. More precisely, Mahendra and the black-robed man were none other than his brother.
"Have you discovered the woman's whereabouts." asked the man in black robes
Mahendra just shook his head slowly.
"I want to ask you something bang." said Mahendra
"Say." said the black-robed man
"What do I really not know? I mean what's the problem between that woman's family and ours?" ask Mahendra
"Their family made our parents die." jolted the black-robed man Mahendra called his brother
Then the black-robed man got up from his seat and was about to leave.
"Then what are our next plans" said Mahendra
"We'll go to Ki Ageng, we'll ask him. If necessary, we just send the woman the courtesy her family has ever felt." said the man in black robes
Without them knowing, that from outside the house was seen Riana who had eavesdropped and watched them.
It looks Riana clenched tightly both hands, until her handbook looks whitened. In fact, his palm was emitting a red viscous liquid as a result of the prick of his own nails.
"Why not from before?" ask Mahendra
"Can't, the woman can't be touched just yet. Ki Ageng said that he has something to look after him, that's why he's still alive." said the black-robed man
"Then, is it touchable now?" mahendra asked with a condescending sirat and ridicule
Suddenly the black-robed man went up in black, he then snorted in annoyance. He could not hurt his younger brother Mahendra, as he only had his younger brother now.
Not wanting to argue, the black-robed man immediately left Mahendra.
Riana who saw that also immediately darted by carrying an item of her goods wrapped by a rag. He immediately decided to go to the top of the hill where his shack was first, but in the middle of the journey he saw a group of people who were none other than Harjo and some of his men.
Soon Riana walked back as usual, Harjo who arrived saw Riana immediately approached the beautiful woman. By running in a row he approached Riana, his men who had not seen what was just trailing from behind.
"Sir, wait" said Harjo shouting
After being in front of Riana, Harjo immediately watched from top to bottom and from bottom to top again just to make sure if the woman in front of him was Riana.
"Yes, Riana is yo" said Harjo
"What's wrong?" riana asked with an expressionless cold face
"We told the lady to pick up Riana" Harjo said
"I'm busy." said Riana briefly still with a flat face
"But mbak, Purwo's boss is now gravely ill."
"I know."
"Eeh anu, I mean Purwo juragan the pain is getting worse and every day just mention the name mbak Riana alone." Harjo still insisted
Riana seemed to sigh, then she looked at Purwo's men one by one. Then he pulled two flowers that adorned his long strung hair, then gave it to Harjo.
"Give one floret to swallow, another puree and give a little water and then apply it to Purwo's face" said Riana
Then Riana left Purwo's men who were still gawking.
