"I know maybe this will surprise you. But, I don't want you to hear it from anyone else."
"What's really going on, Mom?" Lian began to feel something strange about her husband's attitude.
"I'm .. I'm sick, Lian," said Roy honestly.
"W-what?! That hurt?! What pain do you mean, Mas?" Lian looked at her husband's face fixed in the light.
"The reason why I followed Professor Gerald's secret project was. I'm ... convicted of not having children."
"Eh? What?!" Lian started to remember what happened to her seven years ago. No one told him who planted the seeds and why. What he remembers at the time Donald said he needed an heir for his family.
"I'm sorry I just said it now. At that time I wanted to tell you but you refused to know why."
Lian speechless. His head suddenly dizzy to hear all the truth and honesty expressed by Roy.
"My life won't be long, Lian."
Lian was struck by lightning. His heart was shocked to hear Roy's words.
"I have a heart disease that can't be cured. Even for a heart transplant ... There is still a possibility of not succeeding if not from part of the family sebunga."
Lian's body suddenly limp.
"I'm sorry, Lian. But I promise you, for the rest of my time I want to make you and Boy happy."
"Don't talk like that!!!" lian exclaimed with teary eyes.
"Lian..."
"You must live, my. Don't surrender! I'm sure we can find a solution." Lian hugged Roy and cried there. "I don't want to lose you, Mom."
Roy returns Lian's embrace. He clenched Lian.
"We will face this together, Mas." said Lian many times.
......***......
That morning there was silence between Roy and Lian. New couples don't usually shut up like that.
Helena who saw how they both felt happy. It turns out that only a corn was the intimacy they showed in front of people. Her thought.
Lian leaves for Jimmy's boutique with no word to say to Roy. They just greet each other.
Roy is giving time to Lian to be able to think about their relationship going forward. Let Lian realize it for herself.
Roy's acting cowardly? Consider so. He himself had brought Lian into his life but now he chose Lian out of his life. The reason is cliche, he does not want Lian to suffer from the disease suffered by Roy.
Last night after Lian said that if he would accompany Roy, it turns out Roy chose a different path.
"Sorry, because I have to bring you into my life. I was so happy when I found you and Boy. But ... I can't help you to stay by my side. I want you to achieve happiness that I may not have in it."
Lian was stunned to hear Roy's words.
"Please be happy, Lian. I spoke to Julian. I'm sure he can take care of you when I'm not around..."
Lian did not answer and chose to go to bed.
Lian decided to contact Maliq and asked him to speak with four eyes. He knew that Roy had been very close to Maliq. Must be Maliq knew something about Roy's condition.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation. You didn't tell Mas Roy, did you?" ask Lian.
"No, I didn't tell Roy. What's the matter, actually? Why are you asking me to meet you two?"
"Is it true that Mas Roy is sick?" lian asked without hesitation.
Maliq seemed to be breathing. "So you already know?"
Lian nodded. "Mas Roy told me that himself."
"Yes, Lian. Roy is sick and can't be cured."
"No! I can't let Mas Roy go this way." cried Lian who made Maliq stunned.
"Lian, relax! I'm trying to do some research to find a cure for Roy. All this time I've only been giving him medicine to ease his pain but it doesn't cure him."
Lian did not answer. His mind is fucked.
"What's that?" ask Lian.
"Please stay with Roy."
"But he asked me to go."
"Don't listen to him, Lian. Roy must be lonely. But since your presence and Boy filled the day, it made Roy have a spirit of life. So, please, just keep encouraging her." Maliq.

Donald feels it's time for Dandy to find out about Roy's true condition. He invited Dandy to his study when the house was quiet.
"What's the matter Dad?" ask Dandy.
"Sit down! There's something I need to talk to you about."
Dandy seemed to listen to his father carefully.
"It was when you found out about this." Donald gave Roy his medical records.
"Is this dad?"
"That's Roy's medical record."
"What does this mean, Dad?"
"Roy's sick, Dandy." said Donald.
"What's? Why haven't I known it all this time? Did you cover it up on purpose from me?" Dandy looks angry.
"Do you think you have time for your children? Your wife too? Did he ever care about his son? He only cares about Roy's matchmaking with the girl of his choice. He only cares about his social life!"
Dandy was struck by Donald's words.
"Then, what's going to happen to Roy, Dad?"
"He cannot be healed. He ... just bide his time."
"No! We have to do something. There's gotta be a way, Dad."
"After all this happened you want to cure him? Where were you when he was in pain? You only care about the company, and also .. your mistress!" exclamation Donald.
"Well?!" Dandy looked surprised.
"Do you think you don't know what you're doing out there? I know you even hurt your eldest son. You've been playing with fire with the woman he loves." Donald's heart ached to reveal the facts that happened to his family.
"Then your wife? Did he ever care about his son? She even had the heart to get rid of her own brother to be able to live as your wife! Do you think Dad doesn't know that? And you just kept quiet to see Helena because you were blinded by her love. But I just kept quiet, Dandy! I'm a stupid old man who ruined the lives of my own children and grandchildren. Julian's? Do you ever care about her? Even others care more about him than we do his family. You sinned against him, Dandy! I sinned against him! We all sinned against him!" Donald ended his sentence with tears as he beat his chest tight. While Dandy just silent to hear all the truth that he had long covered and Donald's honesty about Roy.
In a different place, a young man was rubbing his face after hearing the conversation of two middle-aged men he had tapped. He's Julian who's been bugging the entire Avicenna family, his own family.
Accompanied by Leon, Julian's assistant wipes away his tears after hearing Donald's grandfather's statement. Leon looked pity on his boss. Indeed, he was convinced that Julian was a good man and not a vindictive man.
"Master.." call Leon who gets Julian back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" julian asked trying to make a firm voice.
"Are you sure you're going to stick to your plan?"
"What are you asking, Leon? Of course all the plans we've put together must go on."
"But Mr. .. they are your own family."
"Wrime is still a crime, Leon. And the law will still apply to anyone who violates it. Even if it's a law I made myself." Julian said, clenching his hand.
