Does He Agree?
Tania went back to the prison and again she handed Ferdian the divorce papers, but the man, as he had done, still did not want to sign the divorce papers.
“Tania, why is it that every time you come here you always send me that letter?”
“Why? Don't you already know the reason why I always give you this letter?”
“Tania, I told you that even to death, I didn't want to sign the divorce papers!”
“Ferdian, can you not be stubborn and sign this letter immediately? If you want me free, then sign this letter and you can be free!”
“You think I'd like to sign the divorce papers just for me to be released? You're wrong Tania, I'd rather be jailed for life than I have to sign the divorce papers.”
“Ferdian, I didn't want to do this, but I had to resort to violence against you if you don't want to sign the divorce papers.”
“What will you do?”
“I will do something that will probably make you suffer until in the end you have no choice but to sign the divorce papers.”

Juan and Felli's household is really on edge, although they live in one house, but they have been separated rooms since a few weeks ago. Apparently this makes Minanti
worried about the continuity of her second child's household, she does not want it until Jaun and Felli divorced later in life.
“Nak.”
“What's up, Ma?”
“May talk to you?”
“Please.”
Minanti set her foot toward Juan, sat down near her son and held Juan's hand tightly.
“What's up, Ma?”
“Mama noticed lately your household with Felli is getting less harmonious.”
“That's.”
“Mama don't want until you get divorced.”
“Now, the more the day the woman makes me feel alone, it feels parting is the only best way for us.”
“Is this all because of Stefani?”
“What?”
“Have you been overshadowed by that woman?”
“Mama what's the talk, anyway?”
“Actually Mama does not want to say this, but if Mama notices you are actually interested in Stefani, right?”
“Alright, I admit that I am interested in Stefani.”
“Son, remember that if you are married, you should not be interested in other women.”
“I understand, but Felli's attitude is getting more annoying, how can I survive with him?”
“Mama is sure that you can do it, Mama is very sure.”

While Tania comes to Maya, the woman has been evicted from the house where she lived for decades because the house was confiscated by the prosecutor, now Maya has no place to live, with the rest of the savings he has now Maya contracts a small house that is far from habitable.
“Tania?”
“Over time we don't meet.”
“Do you want to come here?”
“There's something I want to tell you.”
“What do you want to say?”
“What's with my son?”
“Your son pisses me off, he doesn't want to do what I tell you but I'm sure you're different.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You definitely don't want to stay home unfit like this, do you?”
“Yes, of course I don't want to stay in this house.”
“Then I can help you, but of course it is not free, you have to do as I say.”
“What do you want Tania?”
“Make Ferdian sign this divorce papers, if he wants to sign this divorce papers then I will be happy to give you a livable home along with a business capital loan.”
“Are you serious about what you said just now Tania?”
“Of course I'm serious, I'll do it all as long as you want to help me get Ferdian to sign the divorce papers.”

Tania is now in her childhood home, she has no intention of staying in this house because of the many painful memories of her time in this house, the times when Esther and Jihan bullied her were still in her mind but now the two women who had been evil to her, had already gotten their rewards for the deeds they had done to her in the past. Tania then went to the library room, she saw one by one the books on the shelf, until she finally found an old book that caught her attention.
“What book is this, yes?”
Tania also read the book which was none other than a notebook of the late mother, apparently there the mother wrote a lot of things about her previous days, he said, until finally Tania arrived at a page where currently there is an old photo that attracts his attention.
“It looks like this woman's face is not foreign.”
Tania looked at the row of women who were taking pictures there, the face of one of the women looked familiar in her eyes, the woman reminded her of the figure of Minanti.
“It looks like this is true, Mrs Minanti.”
Tania took her phone and looked for someone's contact there, and then sent the photo to someone who then called her back.

Olaf rushes to the house where Tania used to live with her family, she goes straight into the house and finds Tania still in the library room when she arrives.
“I didn't expect that you would come here so soon.”
“To be honest I was curious about what you sent just now, it was indeed a photo of my mother's youth.”
“Really?”
“Iya, see this.”
Olaf also showed a photo when papa and his mother were married first, if Tania compared the photo and the photo he held, which he held, indeed, Minanti's face when she was young was very similar to the one in both photos.
“It looks like what you said is indeed true.”
“Then surely your parents knew my mother.”
“It seems so, why don't you try asking your mama?”
“I will try to ask him, however.it seems he is not comfortable when me or papa ask his past.”.
“What?”
“I've been wanting to pry my mama's past story a few times, but she always dodged and said that she didn't want to bring up all the things that were in the past, it felt… there's something he's trying to hide from us.”
Tania did not comment on what Olaf had just said, thinking there was actually a connection between Minanti and her parents in the past.
“About, what was their relationship in the past, huh?” murmured Olaf.
“Entah.”
Tania's phone rang, she glanced at her phone which on the screen was a name, she immediately answered the phone.
“How? Does he agree?”
