An atmosphere of grief enveloped, Cristal still did not expect that night was the last night he met his father.
"Pa, Ma, why are you doing this. Why did you choose to end your life this way." Cristal was devastated by what he had just faced.
On the other hand Alira roared crying over the bodies of her parents, nothing could stop her crying that became so.
"Cristal, it's time they were delivered to their final resting place." Zack reminded Cristal who was still sitting in front of the coffin of his parents.
"Yes, I'm sincere." With the help of Zack Cristal, he stood up to let his parents' coffins be lifted.
"Don't be taken away, mama and papa can't go." Alira went berserk not allowing anyone to lift their crates.
Cristal, who was fed up with Alira's cries, naturally if Alira mourned and cried, but holding the body of his parents was not allowed to leave.
With Zack Cristal approaching Alira, Cristal tries to calm Alira down to let her master go.
But his efforts in vain Alira still did not want to stop crying. With the rest of Cristal's energy, his right hand slapped Alira's cheek until Alira sat down and fell silent for a moment.
Alira looked at Cristal sharply, showing her anger while holding her cheek.
"Can you shut up now? There's no point in you wailing for them, it's useless. They won't be able to get back to Alira's life, they're dead." In front of everyone who was treating Cristal tried to calm Alira and give an explanation.
"I-I'm not ready to lose them, if they leave. Who am I with again?" said Alira.
"Did you forget Alira, there's still me your sister. I'll replace them to take care of you. From the day you were born until now you've been my sister."
"Do you still want to accept me as your sister after everything I've done to you?" ask Alira flat.
Cristal squatted in front of Alira and immediately hugged her. "Until whenever you're my sister, no matter what you've done, you're still a sister, there's no ex-sister or anything." By understanding that Alira is not alone, Alira can finally mengikhlaskan the departure of both parents and let them take her to the final resting place.

The funeral process of Aryo and his wife went well, both buried in one burrow.
The only people attending the funeral came home, leaving only Cristal and Zack.
"Honey, let's go home, you have to rest, "suggest Zack to find his wife's condition is tired and looks pale.
"Yes, um."
"Pa... Ma... I came home, I promise I will take care of Alira until she has a family, papa and mama are calm there huh. " Cristal's Pamit in front of his parents' tombstone. Then they left the cemetery and returned to Aryo's residence.
"I'm sorry, sister, I'm not on your side when you're grieving." Malik approached and hugged Cristal. " The strong, baby. I'm sure Adinda's a strong woman."
"I just can't believe my brother, they were so quick to leave, that I just had a chat with him."
"Destiny no one knows baby, we pray that they are calm there." Malik tried to strengthen his adoptive sister, and Cristal just nodded.
Due to his frail condition and lack of sleep, Cristal fell unconscious in Malik's arms. Zack took his wife and took her to his room.
Zack returns to meet Zion and Malik.
"When are you guys back? I thought you guys weren't coming. "
"How can we be happy when a family is grieving. After hearing the news we decided to go back, even though it was too late." Obviously zion.
"Actually what happened, why can adoptive parents die simultaneously? I'm sure this is why."
"They killed themselves. The result of their police investigation was a deliberate suicide, just as Cristal exited his papa's room. I still can't believe they would do such a thing, I know Papa Aryo he doesn't give up easily unless there's a pressure that forces him to end his life."
" You mean, did someone force them to commit suicide?"
"Maybe."

The next day, when Cristal was helping workers to clean up the house that would be left, Cristal came to the guest when Zack was not there only himself and Alira.
"So sorry Miss." Robert said just as Cristal opened the door.
"Sir Robert!" Cristal was completely shocked by Robert's sudden arrival.
"I'm sorry Miss, I couldn't attend yesterday, because there was a business trip I couldn't leave, and right now I'm deliberately taking the time to come straight here. Please understand." explained Robert who was still standing at the door.
"No papa sir, thank you for taking the time to come here just to express your condolences. Please come in, Mr. Robert, sorry it's still a mess." Cristal finally let Robert into the house.
Sitting on one of the sofas, Cristal immediately presented a glass of water to the visiting Robert.
"What this Mr. Robert actually did, that I should be on the lookout for him, judging from his face and his attitude, he. looked very good." murmured Cristal as he looked at Robert who sipped the water Cristal gave him.
