At the Pradipta Family home, Firza confronts the Great Mistress before driving Litha home.
"Sorry, Grandma. These days Firza rarely comes to visit Grandma, much to Firza's work."
Grandma Dayyu smiled, Firza never changed, she remains a good boy. His decision to raise a boy eighteen years ago was the right one, he was so sure of his instincts that Firza would never betray him.
"Thank you, Firza, you've taken your time here to see Grandma, unlike the boy's granddaughter, always drowning in her work."
"The company's been expanding, Grandma, so Ray's been very busy. All the major decisions of the company depend on it. Grandma also does not need to thank, if not for Grandma, now Firza has become a market thug or does not know alive or not hehehehehehe...."
"Hahaahahahah... You always say that."
Grandma Dayyu laughed, then resumed, and then,
"Are you going to be loyal to the end, Firza?
"I mean Grandma?"
"I'm so old, Firza. I just wanted to convince myself before I left."
"grandmother .... "
"Please promise me, son. You will never leave the Pradipta Family no matter what. This family is your family to the death. Grandma and Rayyendra are your family in this world. Don't take away Ray's words and deeds because his soul is developing imperfectly."
"I know, Grandma. I will never hate Rayyendra, she I consider my own sister who is often annoying but I love her very much. Grandma need not worry, this promise I will hold with my life, Grandmother, that I will never leave the Pradipta Family. I'll do whatever Grandma puts me in."
Firza clasped her grandmother's hand, her forehead slightly wrinkled seeing the Big Lady's hand look swollen. Dayyu's grandmother, who noticed it, patted Firza's hand on the back. The young man smiled, it was time for him to return the favor of this old woman.
"You never let me down once. I'm proud of you, Firza. Take care of Ray and his family like you're looking after your own sister."
Firza nodded and looked at the old netra in front of her. Grandma was so happy to hear that, there was nothing more for her to worry about now. After talking for a while about the company and the others, he said goodbye and drove Litha home.
Firza did not immediately drive Litha home, she stopped by at the same place as she was desperate to be the back of her heart.
"What's up, brother? I think something serious, huh?" litha asked after sitting on the bank of the river that crossed the capital.
"Hmmm ... Lith, if you find out who caused the string of bad events that happened to your family, would you report it?"
"Bad event?"
Litha was puzzled by what Firza was talking about, whereas Firza herself held tightly to the large brown envelope on her lap in complete doubt.
"The man who raped your sister, the man who closed the Tisha case and the man who masterminded the hit-and-run was also the attempted rape of you."
Litha's eyes stared intently at Firza, seeking the truth from her words.
"Sister Firza is investigating?"
"Sorry, Lith. I did investigate."
"What does my sister know?"
"Everything, Lith. If you want me to find new evidence for you to report, you can fight for justice for your family. I'll help."
Litha's question this time nailed Firza's tongue to utter. Why did Litha ask back if it was necessary to report back the case of her brother plus her father and herself. Firza tried to peer into Litha's mind, tracing Litha's path of thought.
"After I accepted the fact that Mother survived cancer after my father died, I thought a lot and a long time ago why did everything happen in order at one time? Do Father and Mother have past sins that must be accepted by their descendants? Or is this some sort of life level test? Strike out her neck, I'm almost ending my own life, brother."
"A--what-?!? Your mother has cancer? And you committed suicide?"
Firza is stunned because she does not receive information from detectives that Litha's mother is a cancer survivor and Litha nearly committed suicide.
"Yes, bone cancer stage II at that time, but Mother's disease is getting worse because in addition to the condition of the mother's soul is unstable plus we do not have the cost to treat Mother, Mother, Mom said the money was to pay for Tisha's care. Now, his leg shins are getting more and more cancer, fortunately with a big salary from Grandma, I can finance Kak Tisha's treatment, chemotherapy and medicine for Mom, as well as Vania's school fees."
Litha let out a heavy sigh, amazingly she was not like yesterday who cried when telling her sister. Now he can smile, a forced smile.
"It was heavy at the time. By the end of the High School exam, my stress level was at its peak until I drank floor cleaning fluid in the kitchen, but only a little I drank, Mother caught me, Brother. I immediately vomited in front of Mother who saw me while crying loudly. That's where my heart and mind are like enlightened. I started again, I studied for the exam and did anything that could make us money, at least for us to eat that day so that the savings that were left a little, could be used for Kak Tisha."
Firza was completely stunned, her heart ached hearing that. Litha at a very young age had to divide the time to study, work, care and care for the family to the exclusion of his feelings are no less destroyed.
"God is Good, Brother. I was able to graduate with a satisfactory grade, even I received a full scholarship at my current place of study. My spirit was burning again, I went to college while working part time at a fast food restaurant without any obstacles. Then good fortune led me to the side of the Great Mistress.
So, if I think back to what happened that caused our family to be destroyed, it means that I'm retreating backwards, brother. It's not that I'm afraid or I don't care, but seeing the good that's been coming through my life lately, I'm sure the misfortune of my life has been spent a long time ago, now I'm sure only luck will come near me."
"Litha -"
Firza is speechless. Litha's head was more mature than her age. Even his attitude this time was much more mature than his words.
"In other words, whoever causes it, let it be a bad punishment for those who do it to our families. Doesn't God not sleep."
"Trust karma?"
Finally Firza could say a word, Pursued her intention to hand the brown envelope to Litha.
"Let all this information I keep to myself" Firza said in her heart.
"It's not a matter of trust or disbelief, brother. Life always speaks of causation, from birth to death" Litha answered.
"Lith, you know, how lucky the man who's destined to age is with you. I wish it was me."
"Hahahahaha...... Brother Firza could have! You know, how lucky the woman who will be destined to live with Kak Firza later, the woman will definitely be happy."
"You don't expect you to be that woman?"
The question that slid from his lips made his heart beat hard, hoping that the answer would be as he wished.
"Hmmmm.. I might hope so, but we don't know whose soul mate line we're attached to."
Glacier ....
Firza swallowed her saliva into silence. True, Litha said, we may hope with all our might who we are paired with, but we cannot go against the line that God has set in His destiny.
For the umpteenth time, Litha made Firza unable to say anything.
