After that day, Sia decided to return to the village where she used to be born. It has been three days Sia returned to her hometown with her little daughter. This morning Sia was in the yard looking at the colorful flower garden.

Sia looked towards the sun that had just revealed its light. He recalled the events of that day, where when he was in the afternoon tomb with Riyon arrived just Dirga came, and made an unexpected attack on Riyon, so that made Sia's emotions uncontrollable again.

Flesbacks

" Dirga.. Let's just stop this." Said Sia in a cold tone.

" What?" Ask Dirga.

" We'd better stop now." Sia repeated. " I can't do it anymore" said Sia.

" Flesia.."

" I really, really suffered. I feel so anxious, I'm hurt and I my heart's been shaky." Said Sia, Dirga stared fixedly at Sia's face which showed seriousness.

" I want to do well, be a good wife and be a good mother. However, it turned out to be impossible, and I just realized it."

" Dear!?"

" Because you.. No, because my emotions that are under your influence, make things fall apart. I just can't do it anymore, because I. I want to go back to a time when I can smile and breathe without anxiety."

" I'm sorry, Sia! I'm sorry I hurt you so much, I.. Sorry for everything, sweetie." Dirga stepped closer to Sia and tried to grab her hand but Sia instead moved away from her.

" I honestly want to go back to you."

" When you come back to me! Come back, I promise I'll try to make things right and make you happy, so.."

" How, how can I keep that promise? If you've ever promised and denied it so easily. What hurt my heart so much was not your rude treatment of me, but because you questioned my identity and the sincerity of my love for you, you didn't even hold my trust in me for a little."

" Sia, that.. Because I love you too much, I was blinded by the jealous embers. I really can't accept another man touching mine, so that's why I'm.."

" If only that night, you hadn't treated me so badly and almost made this kid disappear, I probably wouldn't have hated you this much. You still remember exactly what you said to me that night, don't you, Ga?"

" Sia, what happened that night. I'm.."

" I don't understand and just hear and accept the treatment." Sia was no longer able to stem her tears, until the clear water began to flow on her face, swept by her eyelids when she was closed for a moment.

" Last of this I tried to calm myself down. However, you keep coming up like this, and it bothers me a lot, you're getting me anxious and unsettled." Sia confirms her ascetic utterances she feels deeply disturbed by her presence around her.

" I've thought about all this, I'm going to be selfish and will just focus on myself. I want to live a quiet life without any worries because of you, therefore, I beg of you, please leave me alone and never see each other again."

" Flesia..!? What did you say..?"

" I want to live, I want to be happy, so.."

" No, I refuse, you can't do that, you can't leave me." Firm Dirga.

" It turns out, loving you hurts a lot. L'm.. Can't do it anymore. I've forgotten how happy it feels or smile freely."

After that day, Sia immediately made the decision to temporarily leave Jakarta and stay away from the figure of Dirga. He returned to the village after submitting his resignation letter to Riyon's company. The day after, Sia went with Kamila, unbeknownst to Dirga or her parents.

" Mama..!?" Kamila ran towards Sia who was still dumbly staring at the sky. He turned around and immediately stuck the tiny body of the little girl.

" Mama's son.. Mila's done playing with Grandma and Grandpa, honey?" Sia asked as she kissed her daughter's cabi cheek.

" Grandma's making breakfast again, Grandpa's taking the phone. That's why Mila's looking for mama." Answer Kamila.

" Em, be your mom's son because there's no playtime." Sia tickled Mila to the point that she was anxious and begged her forgiveness to let go.

Since arriving there, Mother or Father Sia, did not ask what was the reason for going home this time? Due to Dirga's absence, Binda and her father realize that Sia is having problems. But they were waiting for the only daughter to complain to them, what she was facing right now.

" Mama, when is papa coming?"
