Kinan and Joana were sitting under a maple tree, smiling happily as they spent time together outside the house. Joana is a good friend to Kinan. In addition to listening to all of Kinan's stories carefully, he was well aware of Kinan's condition. Not once did he look at Kinan with a look of pity or a strange look that made Kinan feel discouraged. Joana is very good at carrying herself and she knows when she should say the word. He deserves to be a good psychiatrist.
"Ah, Kinan. Looks like our sightseeing time will end here." Joana said to Kinan as she stared at the clock that was coiled around her wrist.
"It's okay, Jo. We've spent almost half a day. This is the best day I've had since I've lived in this country." Kinan smiled looking at Joana.
As they were having a short chat to end their meeting, suddenly a young man came over to the two.
"Hey.." Greeting the young man, he saw Joana who was also looking at him.
"Hey.." Reply Joana friendly. Looks like the young man and Joana know each other.
"Is he your girlfriend?" Kinan whispers to Joana. Joana looked in wonder at Kinan.
"Your boyfriend?" Ask Kinan again towards Joana. Joana laughed at Kinan's question.
"No! My cousin's. He's my cousin!" Joana still laughed. "Come, you guys meet!" Joana Pinta. He looked at Kinan as he watched the young man take turns.
The young man turned his gaze towards Kinan.
"Have we met before?" Ask the young man to Kinan. Kinan.
"really? I'm sure I've met you." Said the young man again as if thinking.
"Ah, you always have a way to get acquainted with beautiful women." Sindir Joana to the young man. The young man rolled his eyes lazily.
They laughed together, then the young man first reached out to Kinan. "I'm Doni." Her speech.
"I'm Kinan." Kinan shook Doni's hand. Doni keeps watching this woman he just knew, he feels like he has seen Kinan somewhere, but he forgets where. Unknowingly he did not release the hand even though Kinan had tried to release him.
"Ehemmm" Joana cleared her throat loudly to resuscitate Doni. Doni was also wrong. He scratched his non-itchy nape.
"You're gonna have to excuse my cousin, he's gonna act silly if he meets an attractive woman." Joana chuckled at the end of her sentence, making Kinan join in with a small laugh.
"Are you guys really mating? You guys don't look alike!" Chinatown was more towards joking at the two.
"My Daddy is a real Londoner, and so is Doni's Mommy. They are bro and sist." Joana explained. Kinan smiled wryly trying to digest Joana's words.
"I'm sorry, my cousin likes to mix languages." Chirps Doni. "Joana's father was my mother's sister. They are Real Londoners. While Joana's mother is a Jogja. And my father is a Jakarta man. Essentially, our parents are a mix of Indonesian and London bule." Doni made it clear with a chuckle again. He laughed a lot, like a humorous young man.
"You should be fluent in Indonesian." Kinan nodded in understanding.
"Don, can Kinan come with us? He and I just said we were going to end our meeting. But I guess, why doesn't he just watch with us?" Joana raised her eyebrows looking at Doni.
"All right, my cousin, baby." Doni answered as he stepped towards his car. Joana pulls Kinan's hand to follow him and Doni towards the car park, without asking first about whether or not Kinan would follow them. Kinan could only resign and finally entered Doni's car.
Their car drove to the cinema, of course behind it there will be one more car coming. It was the servant car assigned to guard Kinan. They were sometimes not like servants, but were more suited to being bodyguards escorting and trailing wherever Kinan went.

Kevin looked at Desi sitting in front of him. They just finished a meeting with business relations and now decided to relax their minds by relaxing in the cafe.
Instead of being happy, Desi always complains about his current job. He used to accuse Kevin of being a stalker who knew where his movements were. But now the opposite, he must follow wherever Kevin goes and must know clearly Kevin's schedule and movements.
Kevin looked at Desi's lazy face in front of him.
"You why? You're always unhappy at work!" Kevin said as he put his lips together.
"Of course I'm not happy if I have to follow you around!" Grumpy Desi in the heart.
"Why silence? Don't tell me you got your face bent like that 'cause it's gotta follow you wherever I go?" Said Kevin as if he knew the contents of Desi's head.
"Huh? Is she psychic? Why does he know my mind?" Mumbled Desi in the heart again.
"You think I don't know what your head is? You listen carefully, you must feel what I feel. Our tiredness should be the same, so we're even!" Said Kevin while smiling sideways.
Desi who had just sipped her tea was immediately choked when she heard Kevin's words. Finish me-Batin Desi.

Ammar drove Latifa to the house he had bought first. This house he bought for Kinan. But it turns out that separation is the answer to her and Kinan's household. In the end, Ammar learns that his mother was involved with Shirly's plan, which turned out to throw Kinan away at the time. Until he had to apply heart and put the mother in this house as punishment.
"Ammar, what about your life here? You're gonna hire people to help you out here, right?" Ask the old woman.
Ammar shakes.
"Give your own life here, Ma. I'll give you a monthly allowance for your mama's needs, and don't expect anyone to take care of you unless you're sick!" Replied Ammar indifferently.
"Ammar, I'm sorry.. Would you do that to your own mama?"
Ammar nodded. "I always follow what I think is right. And this is a lighter punishment for mama than me expelling mama for no apparent purpose." Ammar threw away his face, he could not see the mother who was sitting weak. This time he had to bear because he was already disappointed in the attitude of the woman who gave birth to it.
"Are you going to visit my mom here? or did you have to get sick first and then you came here?" The woman's voice was choked by her sobbing. Now he was truly sorry for what he had done in the past.
"That's why I haven't thought about it, Ma. But live well and be healthy." Ammar left because he could not see the tears of his mother. He walked quickly to reach his car and just left the minimalist house that is now the residence of Latifa, the mother.
Ammar massaged the base of his nose while driving his car. Verily, he had no heart for the punishment which he had to give Latifa. But, he wants the mother to feel deterred and not do bad things again at the age of twilight. Ammar wants all who hurt Kinan to feel the consequences. Because he had already felt the consequences of his actions, which is to live suffering because of guilt and regret.
Ammar grew angry and angry when he never met Shirly. He looked for the woman everywhere. Tracing to his place of business, looking for his parents' house in Bali but instead his family also asked Shirly news to Ammar, because the woman did not tell anyone. Ammar even checked the timetable of the train, ship and flight, to get a trace of Shirly's departure. But, everything doesn't give him a clue where Shirly is now.
Ammar is dead-end and does not know the direction, wants to try to forget but his instincts force to uncover everything before Kinan. Let Kinan know who is behind the destruction of his life. Not only Ammar, but there are Shirly and Mama who also contribute to destroying Kinan's life. Ammar also did not forget another one, the one who took away Kinan's sanctity. Kinan must know who that person is, as well as Ammar who is now very eager to uncover who the person is in front of the ex-wife. And after that what else? Of course Ammar will sue who the brenngsekk is into the line of law.
