The atmosphere is crowded in the local state courtroom because today the reading of the verdict for drug defendants arrested a few months ago at Amore Club & Party. The three defendants attracted considerable public attention, namely Renata Swastika, an up-and-coming artist, Evan Dellano Kusuma, the only son of the cafe franchise owner who is going viral on social media. Lucas Riguna, meanwhile, would not be so highlighted if he did not deal with the Pradipta Family related to the reopening of criminal cases five years ago.
For the first time after giving birth, Mrs Pradipta went out of the house because she wanted to hear the judge's verdict against them, Zean while entrusted to Lidya with stock ASIP (Dairy Milk Mother Dairy). Litha was accompanied by Ray, Abyan and Vania, and the Kusuma Family and Bona came with the reporters to listen to her.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
The judge's hammer has been tapped, the verdict's mark has been dropped. Renata with a sentence of 6 years in prison, in addition to being a wearer he also invites others to wear. Evan was sentenced to 2 years and 8 months in prison and Lucas was sentenced to life imprisonment - the heaviest sentence ever - for being the most active dealer in recent months, he was also found guilty of immoral crimes five years ago. Even in further investigation, Lucas Riguna was also involved in premeditated murder with a traffic accident mode that led to the death of the victim - the father of the victim of immoral criminal acts - so that there were no further reports.
Litha's tears fell, but it was hard to describe the feelings of her heart. While Vania only smiles sarcastically shooting sharply at Lucas, this is the first time she has met directly with the person most responsible for the destruction of her family.
"You okay?" whispered Ray hugging Litha, his wife nodded softly, "May this punishment be fair, Mas. So Mom and Dad can relax." Ray could only strengthen by hugging and kissing the tip of his wife's head.
The attention of Kusuma and Bona's family was fixed on Evan who always looked down. The man regretted and was very embarrassed to have tarnished his big family name which had always been maintained from the previous generation, especially on Ninda until he did not dare to look at each other.
When the accused was about to be brought back to the cell, Vania quickly stepped forward, wanting to get close to seeing what the man named Lucas Riguna looked like.
"BAJI*NGAN YOU LUCAS!!! ROT IN PRISON!!!" vania shouted loudly in front of the one with a name, deliberately provoking. Lucas paid no heed, his eyes and body fixated on the figure standing at the entrance of the courtroom.
"Tisha ..." muttered Lucas softly.
Vania immediately turned around after her elder sister's name was called, "Sister Tisha!"
The girl's screeching spontaneously made Litha, Ray and Abyan turn around, sure enough ... Tisha accompanied by dr. Siska was staring at the nanar towards the man who incised wounds on her heart and body.
Litha and Vania want to run towards Tisha, but are stopped respectively by Ray and Abyan due to dr. Siska encodes with a head gesture in order to let Tisha do what she wants to do, she wants to face her trauma and past. The girl has been declared medically cured, but with her own initiative, she intends to try to brave her dark past, namely by facing Lucas directly.
"Sister Tisha ..," said Litha and Vania slowly as Tisha passed by her sisters with a smile on them.
Abyan immediately approached the officer accompanying the defendants, telling Tisha to meet face-to-face with the most severe defendant.
"How are you, Lucas?" Tisha asked looking into the eyes of the man with full courage, courage facing the wounds of his past.
Lucas was stunned, his tongue was unable to speak, his voice was confined in the diaphragm. However, his heart was very sore - like being wounded by a dagger and sprinkled with salt - moreover he saw a smile that had always been shadowing every night until finally he chose the Cannabis Sativa plant or better known as marijuana first drug. It is used to relieve acute insomnia due to the excruciating guilt.
The man's eyes exuded a tremendous regret towards the woman who to date still reigned in his heart. Suddenly Lucas knelt before Tisha without speaking a word, he could not find a word that represented his current regret and guilt other than just crying.
Tisha smiled bitterly remembering the consequences of the actions of the man she once loved wholeheartedly and hated to the bottom of the heart.
"I've made peace with myself and my past. I forgive you, Lucas ... I no longer have any feelings for you now. You're like someone else who means nothing to me. Spend that useless regret and guilt of your life in prison. It's not my punishment, but God wants to show His power."
"Ti-Tisha-"
Lucas' throat was blocked, his tears were breaking. The girl gave her smile for the last time before she turned around, ignoring the call addressed to her, kept walking closer to her two younger siblings whom she had not seen for a long time, reaching for a pent-up longing for five years.
Abyan coded the officer that the time he asked for was over. Lucas did not want to move from his kneeling place until the officers had to exert extra energy to bring him to the prisoner's car with a thrashing motion and roaring roars calling Tisha's name.
"Sir Tisha .." litha was teary, she immediately embraced her sister's thin body followed by Vania who embraced them.
The full view of the day covers the three, releasing each other's longing with hugs and sobs. Two well-built men protected them from the camera shots of journalists who filled the courtroom. It appears that a young man curious about a girl once accidentally ran him over in the hospital, but he is not sure of his vision.

# City A #
Nusa Bangsa 2 High School is holding a ceremonial graduation of 3rd grade students. Rayyendra was also present as an honorary guest as the largest donor and owner of the scholarship foundation in collaboration with the school, while the guardian invitation for Vania was filled by Litha and Tisha.
"VANIA KIRANA LARASATI, SCHOOLGIRLS WITH THE BEST GRADES."
Seeing Vania go up on stage confidently made Litha and Tisha clasped each other tightly in their hands.
"You did it, Tha."
Litha's tears came out in the corner of her eyes, how happy she was today. All this time he only hoped his sister could graduate with good grades, but the girl instead gave him the best grades, who would not be proud? Even the man outside the hall who heard Vania's name mentioned and saw her receive the award through TV also felt proud.
"Out of his very noisy mouth, I admit he's great, can prove who he is" Abyan murmured.
After receiving the award, Vania raised him high up, wanting to show the world that he had conquered this school, of course, although there was no denying that there was a great power supporting him from behind.
"Master, we are proud to have Vania as our schoolgirl. His future was certainly brilliant," said the Headmaster who responded to Ray's cynical smile, he knew exactly how grim the story of his sister-in-law was until Litha put her pride at the headmaster's feet.
"Didn't the wheel always turn, Principal Mother? Vania who was once considered a dung and had to be thrown away is now placed on a golden plate, hahahahaha ..."
The Principal paled and no longer spoke out to curry favor with Mr. Pradipta, however, he could not support him if he did not want Mr. Pradipta's personal donation and the cooperation of the Asa Pradipta Foundation scholarship foundation to be canceled.

"Sister, thanks ... I'm so happy today. Though I thought I was going through my graduation day alone, but it turned out that all my sisters were present," Vania said happily as they gathered for lunch at one of the Fish Hut Dining House's sacks, their favorite place in time with Aryasena.
"You deserve it, Nia. You've been trying hard" said Litha rubbing her sister's cheek.
"You're so great, Mom and Dad must be so proud of you" said Tisha holding Vania's hand, "But where are Auntie and Uncle? Why did they suddenly disappear? Is there anything I missed?" ask again.
Vania glanced at Ray, awkwardly.
"Not knowing either, brother. The last time I met them was when they came to the Capital for my graduation and birthday, and then they were like they were lost to the earth. There was no communication after that, was it Nia? Did they ever call you?" ask Litha to her sister.
"Eng .. no-never," replied Vania, her eyes asking for an answer to her sister-in-law.
"Either what they do and where, obviously they are fine, there is no need to worry about anything. Auntie once called me by another number, she asked me the news when she heard about your stabbing. Aunt said she'd find time to see us." Ray finally opened his voice.
"Why did you tell him now? Did Aunt change her phone number?"
"I don't want to make you think too far. The number you used when you called me is no longer active."
Litha frowned, weird and there seemed to be something hidden from her, but whatever it was she did not want to spoil the happy atmosphere today with all the possibilities that were in her head.
"After lunch, we will make a pilgrimage to the grave of the late Father and Madam, then we will return to the Capital immediately" Abyan explained their schedule in Kota A today.
"Ah yes, but wait for me to finish pumping ASI first," said Litha.
"Can I do it now, Mom?"
Ray nodded, "Of course, you must have endured the pain from earlier. You don't have to worry, I'll eat first with Nia and Abyan."
.

In the lactation room, Tisha painstakingly helps Litha pump out the ASI grimacing in pain.
"That's so bad, why didn't you say that?"
"I'm not comfortable pumping in Nia's school, I'm deliberately waiting until I get here,"
Tisha smiled bitterly, "It's definitely not easy every time you set foot there. Nia told me about it."
"Ahh .. The boy leaked once his bucket. Can't he keep a little of my embarrassing secret?"
"I'm sorry Litha ... Because of me, you alone take care of Nia and Mother, even me who is not sane, when at that time your situation must not be okay," said Tisha bowed sadly.
"Sister, stop. Do not remember the past, all has passed, the evil part has also been punished. We just need to be happy in the future."
Tisha smiled as she rubbed her sister's hand, "Your heart is so airy, Dek. No wonder God gave you the best gift. May you always be happy."
"From now on, Tisha's sister has to come back to life and find a good soul mate like me, who can accept Tisha's sister for who she is."
"Mahaha ... You're this, I just got sane, you want me to go crazy again what?"
"It's not. Instead I want Big Brother to be happy by finding a partner who can accompany to old age. Brother Tisha need not worry, Mas Rayyendra has many connections, maybe one of them is suitable."
"It is not that easy, Litha," he said help remove the electric pump from the payu*dara Litha that is not swollen, move to the other payu*dara.
"It's not easy doesn't mean there aren't, does it?"
"Yes, but it's still not easy. You think a relationship is made up of just two people?"
"Me and Mas Rayyendra are alone."
"Mahaha ... You idiot! That only applies to you and your husband because you are both orphans and no other family. Even if they accept you well, it's different with me. Maybe someone can accept my past, but not necessarily my parents and family."
Litha only realized that she and her husband were alone, still fortunately she had two sisters while her husband was really a kara, meaning Baby Zean was the only descendant of the Pradipta Family.
"Has a shame, Mas Rayyendra once asked me to give him many children, but as soon as I saw him give birth he handed the decision to me," muttered Litha as she stopped pumping.
"Hehehehe .. Your country's work is hard, Tha. You're responsible for the survival of the Pradipta generation, "kekeh Tisha put the bottles of ASIP that have been full of contents into the cool bag.
"Yes, very heavy and tiring, Brother." Litha and her sister both chuckled leaving the lactation room towards the saung where they had lunch.
"Tha, does Nia have a problem with Assistant Yan? They didn't seem to get along and if I mentioned Assistant Yan's name, Nia's face was a little unhappy."
"Mahaha ... Yes Brother, they both always make a fuss, the other one likes to quip, the other one does not want to lose."
"Normally people who are like that if they are far apart will miss each other."
"It's a shame that they miss each other, brother. What is clear is that if they are in a battle, as much as we can not get involved, let them both end it themselves" Litha said. Tisha gave a loud chuckle, she knew exactly how her youngest sister was arguing, which could make her quiet just the sharp gaze of her mother.

The three sisters were astonished to find a public burial place where their parents were buried. There used to be only a palanquin tree in the middle of the tomb, now in addition to fenced and neatly arranged also made a beautiful garden.
"Since when has the tomb in this village been so good?" ask Vania wonder.
"Who else if not Young Master."
"That's it, Mas?"
Ray only smiled hearing the tone of his surprised wife's voice delighted.
"100 million for the restoration of this tomb complex and every month there are two people from local residents who are responsible for its cleanliness, of course, make the tomb here well preserved."
Litha turned towards Ray not believing the husband's concern for his family, "That's all I can do for my mother-in-law's father."
"Thank you, Mom, for loving me with a package, not only for myself, but for my sisters and my late parents, too" Litha said, hugging her husband. He took a sip in the scent of telon oil on Ray's body, reminiscent of the tiny baby he left today to Aunt Lidya.
"Dad, Mother, as you can see .. we're fine without Mom and Dad. I'm sorry to trouble you and my two sisters. My weak attitude makes me not as strong as they are, I should have taken care of them, but this is the opposite - I promise." Tisha squealed and wept in the middle of Aryasena and Asmarini's tomb buried side by side, this was her first time here.
"Sister Tisha, don't be. We will take care of each other" Litha said
"No need to worry, there's me, Dad and Mom's best daughter-in-law. They will live under my responsibility until they find a good soul mate and love them as much as I love you" Ray said
"The promise in front of the tomb is a promise that must be kept, otherwise his life will be full of misfortune."
"That sentence is mine."
"Your own is mine too." Litha looked her face up to Ray, looking so friendly that she was rewarded with a kiss on her lips.
"Haiiisshhm ... It is said that he mingled in the cemetery will be plastered to the house. Remember there's my bangs! Could have caught him," said Vania sultry to see a wash that does not know the place.
"meaning?"
"Not to think about. They are all single so they cannot understand. If they find a partner, it's the same with us. Even if there will be a sticky, at most not strong grip on the tail of the plane," argued Litha was upset.
Ray tightened his arms in alarm at Litha's grumbling, "Yes, they make a lot of excuses just because envy can't be like us."
Litha was turning her head into her husband's chest. No matter if they were plastered by a graveyard demon or something like that, because a person who is a sirik is more terrifying than a grave demon.
