At Ali's house.
Ali lives alone with her mother. They lived in a simple house made of planks. Berlia is very dear to Ali and her mother Ali.
As time went on, Berlia grew up in Ali's residence. And Ali likes Berlia.
Ali expressed her feelings for Berlia. Berlia accepted Ali with a big heart. They marry. Their marriage was simple too. Berlia covers his identity from Ali and his mother.
Their journey of love and home both went happily. However, when Berlia was five months pregnant, at the age of marriage that had just run almost a year, disaster came to his household.
”Ade, come with brother. We no longer have time.” Ali said with trembling and fear.
The mother and Berlia were confused to see Ali. Ali had just come and spoke indistinctly and fearfully.
”What's the son of? Why kayak doormat.” said the mother.
”Mother, mother should also join Ali. The three of us must leave now, we must leave this house.” Ali said again.
”What the hell is Mas? How come, Mas spoke while frightened and looked back continuously? What's up?” Tanya Berlia was curious.
”Mother, Berlia, Mas no time to explain now. Let's go first, we go out through the back door just” said Ali. He locked the front door and turned off the lights.
Ali held the hands of his wife and mother, taking them out of the house. ”Come quickly Mother, Berlia, we go into the forest.” said Ali.
Berlia and the mother who knew nothing. They walked quickly away from home. They entered the forest behind their home.
”That's Ali's house! The woman named Berlia is inside, she is his wife Ali!” said one citizen. His loud voice rang out in the ears of Ali, Berlia, and Ali's mother.
Ali, the mother and Berlia paused for a moment when they heard the voice. They hid behind the tall grass, looking at any guests who came to his house.
”Tap the door!” tell someone.
Berlia was surprised, he did not expect Genta to look for him until he entered the village. But, how did he know he was in this village?
”It looks like no one Mr!” report Genta's men, when he knocks does not sound authentic. He peeked out of the wall slit, ”Dark! No light, maybe they are out.” reported the men again.
”Cannot be! There's Berlia's air here. Break the door!” genta Titah.
”Good, Mr.” They broke down Ali's door.

Mother Ali was surprised to see it, ”Yes Allah, who are they? They ruined my house.” She's terrified.
”Why are they looking for you, Berlia? Do you know them?” Asked the mother in a soft voice, like she was whispering to Berlia.
”Did you ever get them hurt? Or ever have a problem with them? They seem very angry at you.” continued Ali, he spoke slowly to Berlia.
Berlia was confused to answer. What's he supposed to say? Did he have to say that the man and himself were snake demons?
”Mas, do you know where they're looking for Berlia? The one named Berlia here there are many Mas.” said Berlia.
”Mas quotes their talk while at the stall. I wanted to buy you chicken before I came home. But..pas stopped at a roadside stall at the intersection of three, they were talking about a girl whose characteristics were exactly like yours.”
Ali paused his words.
”Mas curious. While ordering the chicken opor, Mas listened to their conversation. And when Mas wanted to leave there, Mas heard one of the villagers tell him he knew the girl. And that is you, my wife. They plan to see you. They have bad intentions for you. Mas rush home, Mas don't want anything to happen to you.” said Ali.
”Who are they Berlia?” Asked the mother again, she was really curious about that person.
”Uhm..he...he is an enemy of my parents__”.
”So, he's the one you told me about?” crop Ali.
Berlia. Berlia is surprised, Genta uses his snake's smell to find out his whereabouts now.
”Let's go from here, before they find us.” Berlia said.
”Iya, come.” said the mother and Ali.
By the time they left, it was too late. The mother screamed in pain as her legs were patted by a snake. ”Aduh, my feet on the snake pat.” screams mom Ali.
”Mother? How's this?” Ali panicked.
Berlia was very angry. The look in his eyes grew sharp, he took the snake that pecked at his mother-in-law and killed the snake.
Berlia took out his jewel and stuck it on the snake bite. The snake poison was absorbed in the gem.
The mother and Ali were both shocked. Where did Berlia get the jewel? Who exactly is this Berlia?
”Mas, Mas papah mom walk. The poison is already out of the mother's legs, after we get into the forest, Berlia will find leaves to treat the mother's legs. Let's go from here.” said Berlia. The jewel he kept back.
Ali and her mother were curious. Where does Berlia keep the jewels? The jewel came and disappeared.
The mother became afraid when her mind discovered the fact, lest Berlia be a serpent man.
The mother pulled Ali's hand, ”Do not get close to her Ali! Let's get away from him,” he said ketus.
Berlia and Ali were both shocked. What's wrong with mom?
”Bu, what's wrong Mom? Berlia is my wife and the child she is born with is my son. Why should Ali stay away from his own wife?” Ask Ali.
”Just we have to go far away from this woman.” said Ali's mother in a high voice pointing at Berlia.
”But why Bu?”
Their high voice came to the attention of Genta and his men. They came to the origin of the noise.
”She...he is definitely not an ordinary human being! He must be a stealth, Ali!” said Ali's mother.
Berlia was surprised, the mother-in-law guessed correctly who she was.
Ali's mother, Berlia and Ali are shocked by Genta's presence, who reveals Berlia's identity.
”What, he's a snake demon?” Ask Genta. His hand pointed at Berlia.
Ali saw Berlia, Berlia was terrified, his body was trembling. With a quick step, Ali took Berlia's hand and pulled her, taking her running.
”Nak, stop! Back back! He's not human! Ali, back my son!” shouted the mother.
However, Ali kept running while holding his wife's hand. They went into the forest. The day has begun to enter the night.
”Pursue them!” exclaims Genta to his men.
”Good, Mr.” They ran after Berlia and Ali.
”Basic stupid boy! Already knew the woman was a demon, still protecting her!” the mother was angry.

In the woods.
”We stop here first. I am no longer able to run. Ouch, my stomach!” berlia.
They stopped running. Berlia held on to the tree trunk, one of his hands stroking his stomach.
”What's up? Why your stomach? You all right? We need to get out of here if we don't, they'll find us. I will carry you.” said Ali, he is preparing to carry Berlia.
”Mas, Mas not afraid of Berlia?” Ask Berlia.
Ali carried Berlia's body, ”You are my wife, what should I fear?” said it.
”That said mom and that guy was right Mas. I__”
Ali silenced Berlia by kissing her lips, ”You are still Berlia, my wife. Not a snake demon,” he said later after removing his kiss.
”Thank you Mas.” said Berlia.
Ali walked back while holding Berlia.
”If you are not strong, just put me down. I can walk on my own.” said Berlia.
Ali ignored Berlia's words, he kept holding Berlia's body.
”That guy..I mean Genta, is he also a snake demon?” Ask Ali.
”Iya. My sister, Grenia, my father and my mother, were killed by him. And I parted with my sister. I don't know how my brother is doing right now and I don't know if my brother is still alive or not?” berlia.
”We go into the cave that's it Mas.” said Berlia.
Ali saw the cave that Berlia pointed at. They went into goa. Ali put Berlia's body on the rocks slowly.
”Why does he want to slaughter your whole family?” Ali asked, he was still curious about the life story of Berlia.
”He is the half-brother of my father. He didn't take it when my grandfather gave my father the responsibility of the palace. He was forced to acknowledge my father as king, however, he secretly devised a devious plan to seize the throne. He had a chance on the day that Mas and I met for the first time. On that day, Genta slaughtered my family.” Berlia said.
”Then, how now? What should we do?”
”Sorry Mas, because of me, Mas must experience this. Better, just go. Don't mind me. I'll be fine.” said Berlia.
”What? You told me to go?” Ali was angry.
”Iya Mas, me and your son will be fine. Mas go, back to mom.” said Berlia.
”No! I don't want to! I can't leave you two, you and my son. I am your husband to protect you and our son. Don't drive me..”
Berlia stood up. He went out a little into the mouth of the cave. He had seen a medicinal plant to treat the snake bite wound. He took. Ali watched Berlia.
Berlia re-entered the cave, which he had previously covered the mouth of the cave with his knowledge so as not to be seen.
”Mas, this is medicine. Just puree it and stick it on the wound of the mother's leg.” said Berlia, he gave the leaf to Ali.
Ali refused it, ”No! I'm not going anywhere! If we die, we die together. If we live, we live together. I will not leave you,” he said.
Berlia smiled, he approached Ali. Berlia kissed him, Ali returned his wife's kiss. Unbeknownst to Ali, Berlia drugged Ali with his magic. Ali's eyes slowly closed.
”I'm sorry, Mas. I had to do this.” said Berlia, he memorized Ali's face in his eyes.
Berlia kept the medicinal leaves in Ali's hands. He kissed Ali on the forehead and left a necklace for Ali.
Berlia went from the cave in another direction by turning himself into a snake.
”Mistress? Why are you crying? Do you miss mister?” Ask the waiter.
Berlia woke up from his daydream. He wiped his tears that accidentally came out of his eyes, ”Iya, I miss Ali. I don't know how it's going after four months apart.”
”Why doesn't the Madam come to you? Sir must have missed Madam.” suggested the waiter, comforted Berlia.
”My mother-in-law will definitely not like it if I come back. He must hate me.” said Berlia sadly.
”But Madam...After a while the Madam will give birth, should not you know?”
”He doesn't need to know. If there is a soul mate, we will meet again by accident. But...for now we must be vigilant on Genta.”
”Iya Mistress is right. Fortunately, the attack of Genta's men at that time did not prove fatal to the baby and Madam. Now, they knew the Madam was pregnant, the original granddaughter of the king's descendant. They will increasingly look for the whereabouts of the Madam and will kill the prospective heir also kill Madam.” said the maid.
”For that we must remain careful.” said Berlia.
"Before that happens, I'll prevent it. After this child is born, I will give it to her cousin Viona, the daughter of my sister, Maria. They will definitely protect my son." Berlia thought.
