"Melody, what's up, son? Tell me mom, what's up, son?". Miss Sonya, cupped her son's face and hugged him tightly.

"Rubbish,mah! Papah, papah, accident mah. Hix.....Hix...It's my fault, you let Papah go. It's my fault, mah, it was an accident because of me".

"Please son, let's go to the hospital and see your father". Miss Sonya, she could not help but cry when she heard the husband had an accident when he wanted to come home from the village.

Throughout Melody's journey, she ceaselessly blamed herself. Sonya's mom, trying to calm her son down because she's not entirely wrong.

Arriving at the hospital, Melody and the mother ran to Mr. Senjaya's room in the care.

Melody, growing hysterical crying seeing her father's condition was seriously injured. "Father, I'm sorry Melody. It's all Melody's fault, now Papah's the victim. Sorry Melody, pah".

"Mas, wakeup! It's me mas". Lirih bu Sonya, hugging her husband lay weakly on the patient's bed and unconscious.

Mr. Senjaya, suffered a serious injury to his leg. The driver only had minor injuries, could walk normally.

Hearing Mr. Senjaya's accident, even made Mega maam smile and curse in his heart. Even she also forbade her husband, to see the irony.

Melody, increasingly disappointed with her usual in-law attitude. When he heard his family get a disaster, hoping to get sympathy but caci maki in get.

"That is the result of being allied with the devil, because of its own consequences, right". Said Mega's mom, out loud over Melody's phone call.

Miss Sonya, let her son go and hope nothing happens.

A few minutes later after Melody's departure, Pak Senjaya was self-conscious.

Miss Sonya, moved to see her husband had woken up and started to be able to talk little by little.

"I'm sorry, I've been trying to find a way to heal our daughter-in-law. Still, they don't want to help because they can't. What about Melody, she must have been devastated by what I said? Sorry papah, not much help".

Senjaya said, a circle of tears fell in the corner of his eyes.

"Don't blame yourself, pray for guidance from Allah SWT. Focus on healing, not a lot of thoughts". Miss Sonya, wipe away her tears.

"Father, will not forgive this self. If our child's household is destroyed, the father won't see Melody hurting over the loss of her husband". Mr. Senjaya, keep thinking about his son Melody.

"You how else, pah. May son Vino, choose Melody and defend his household. Don't let him, be influenced by his mother's words". Sonya's mom, hoping her son-in-law won't let Melody go. It is inconceivable to see his son, hurt by losing a husband he loves.

"Yee...Wherever possible brother, I wasted time in the car. Who knows, I found something". The naughtiness of Rena, the clingy look around the pitch-black. They both use a flashlight, Melody takes the sitting lamp and turns it on.

The room now looks bright, not as dark as before and the electricity is cut off because it has been unused for a long time. Melody's eyes, fixed on a picture frame of a man hugging a smiling child.

Who knows, he went to school in the village next door and next door again.why, sister Melody, smiling looking at the picture of this man? Is there anything in the past, not finished yet".

"Oh, you're my friend's granddaughter. I'm sorry, but I was angry because I was afraid of other people who entered and acted in this house. Come on, we'll sit down, son".

Rena, give her thumbs up and sit back. Melody, smiled and shook her head at the behavior of her cousin's sister.

"Actually, it's been a long time since I met Riko. A few months ago, I saw him enter the forbidden forest in the village over there. Likely, Riko lives there, son. Why, looking for Riko's son?". Mbok asked Imi, looking fixed on Melody's face. "It seems you have a lot of problems, clearly visible from the look on your face. Rest, son, take care of this health".
