Savitri's parents did not waver despite being persuaded by Gandi to buy Savitri's car. Cars eventually remain to be sold to cover shortages and save on expenses. Savitri finally tells Arya that she intends to sell the car. Arya feels affection if the car recalls the memories of the late Ardi sold finally Arya who bought the car.

“Kak Vitri should use the money as well as possible. Already I transferred keel.”ucap Arya when coming to Savitri's house to pick up Savitri's car. He did not invite Reno and Reni because Reno was still afraid to meet Gandi.

“Iya Yes, I will use to add business capital.” replied Savitri.

“Where does Gandi not look what is still sleeping?” ask Arya who has been told by Pastri and his two nephews that Gandi is a sleepyman. Savitri just nodded his head. Arya then said goodbye because she will soon work at the office.

“Yes, I nitip favorite food Reno and Reni yes.” Savitri said then he went into the dining room to take the food he had made for Reno and Reni. Arya then received a food box and a large paper bag containing food and snacks like Reno and Reni. The goods from Savitri was then handed over to Arya to Pak Harun Opa's personal driver who would take Savitri's car to Opa and Oma's house. Arya went to the office in her car.

Savitri led them to the gate. Savitri's tears melted not because of the loss of his car but because of the longing for his two children.

“Hai... Already, sign in you!” shouted Gandi who was standing in front of the door of the house. Savitri turned his head for a moment then wiped away the tears that melted down his cheeks. Savitri then stepped inside the house. As usual Gandi was sitting on the sofa of the family room while activating a high volume teve. Savitri walks past Gandi intending to make coffee before Gandi shouts a scream. Yet...

“Hai... here!” gandi shouted while pulling Savitri's hand and laying Savitri's body down to sit on the sofa nearby. Savitri whose body was getting weaker was helpless and sat down beside Gandi.

“You're transferring to my account now. Where's hapemu!” gandi shouted while trying to find Savitri's hape placed in Savitri's purse.

“Bang, do not... the money to meet our needs before the fish business produces. And to increase capital. Me and Mbak Lastri want to try the pastry business.” Savitri said while trying to maintain his hape. Gandi did not want to lose he pulled Savitri's hand and Gandi managed to take Savitri's hape. Then he squeezed but could not because there was a protector.

“Open!” gandi's orders while thrusting the flat object. Savitri was willing to adopt his hape but still held tightly by Gandi's hand.

“You just open the pin.” cried Gandi, Savitri shook his head. Looked at the face of Gandi reddened.

“I slam this if you do not want to transfer to my account.” threatened Gandi while his hand is ready to slam Savitri's hape.

“Bang do not Bang...” shouted Savitri while trying to seize his hape. Gandi's higher body raised his hand while carrying Savitri's hape. Savitri's hand couldn't reach him. Pastri's sister who was in the kitchen heard a commotion in the living room. The commotion between the high volume of teve and also the cries of Savitri and Gandi. Pastri's brother walked to the living room he was already carrying a broom ready to hit Gandi.

“You do not interfere, or I slam this real hape.” shouted Gandi while looking at Mbak Lastri who tried to approach while carrying a broom. Lastri looked doubtful fear also if Gandi desperate to slam Savitri's hape. Hape Savitri's birthday present from the late Ardi. Savitri is very fond of the hape given Ardi that in addition to that expensive hape that was once very desirable also now is a hape memory of the deceased.

“If you recite it well, I also do not ask for much five million only. Kan is still a lot of money left.” said Gandi while his eyes saw Savitri's finger pressing on the nekan keys on the screen hape. Savitri who felt Gandi observing trying to twist the screen hape so that Gandi did not see his personal data. Savitri was forced to transfer to Gandi's account. But such events keep repeating themselves. Gandhi asked for transfers little by little for a long time the money from the sale of cars could not support the needs of their lives.

One night after dinner Savitri went into his room. He looked at his financial records and account balances in his savings. His head felt dizzy thinking how to reduce his spending. Finally he was thinking of dismissing Mbak Lastri. He thought it was no longer a child either, so he would do his own domestic work. Savitri then took the cash salary Mbak Lastri this month plus bonus money as much as the salary Mbak Lastri, he then walked out of the room. The envelope containing the money was placed in the pocket of Savitri's toad pants. It looks like Pastri has finished cleaning the kitchen. Savitri knocks slowly on the door of Pastri's room.

Tock.... Tock.... Tock....

Not long after the door opened and looked Pastri behind the door leaf.

“What's Mom, do you want to change rooms again?” ask Pastri

“May I go in Ma'am, I want some serious shit.” replied Savitri. Pastri nodded his head while widening the door. Savitri then stepped in and was followed by Mbak Lastri. They both sat on the edge of the bed facing each other.

“Mbak, sorry before yes...” said Savitri stopped his eyes had turned red and there was a puddle there. Lastri's mother who heard and saw Savitri's sad facial expression looked confused and Savitri's sad aura radiated to Pastri's body.

“There is Ma'am, I kok deg degan.” Mbak Lastri said.

“Mbak, I had to do this actually I did not have the heart and I already love Mbak Lastri. Pastri Mbak I have considered as my own brother..” Savitri said now he has started sobbing and tears have begun to melt on his cheeks.

“Bu.. forgive me if I have any harm.” Pastri who has started to worry that something is wrong has also begun to cry.

“Not wrong Mbak Lastri. Pastri is innocent. But my financial condition is no longer able to pay Mbak Lastri. Mbak Lastri can find work elsewhere”

“Bu.. let me keep helping Bu Vitri, my salary is reduced also not what Mom. I also love Miss Vitri. If Bu Vitri was angry with Mr. Gandi how. How about Mr. Gandi kilaf ..” said Mbak Lastri while sobbing and wipe his tears that have been broken. Savitri then took an envelope containing money from his pocket and gave it to Pastri.

“Sorry and thank you very much Pastri.” said Savitri put the envelope into the lap of Mbak Lastri while hugging Mbak Lastri. Pastri's brother returned Savitri's embrace while crying bitterly. The two women hugged each other and cried.
