Agni's back in the car. He and Arga went home together. It just so happens that Agni's car is being left in the workshop. The woman had gone by taxi to the apartment.
"Everything feels different now" said Agni. He looked at Arga. He saw the man looking sad.
"May I know how you and Laras started-"
"Can we not talk about it? I'm trying to calm my mind" Arga said, unwilling to discuss her relationship with Laras. Moreover, that woman had already made him anxious now.
Agni immediately silenced. He didn't talk after that.
Arriving at home, Arga and Agni try to be okay when in front of Rasya. They enjoyed dinner with the boy.
After spending time together, Arga cleans himself into the bathroom. That was when he thought about what would happen if he ended the relationship with Laras. One thing is for sure, Arga will definitely return impotent. The question is, is Agni willing to accept that?
After the bath, Arga put on clothes. He immediately looked for Agni. Arga saw the woman on the balcony. His hand seemed to be holding onto his stomach which was starting to bulge.
"Thinking about our child?" ask Arga who is already near Agni.
"Yes. I feel sad when I think about it," Agni replied.
Silence enveloped the atmosphere in a few moments. Until Arga finally said, "There's something he wants to do."
Agni. "What?"
"It's about my impotence. If we forget each other's mistakes and restart our relationship, will you still accept me if I'm impotent again?" said Arga.
Agni frowned faintly. "Why do you say that? You're fully healed, aren't you?" responsiveness.
"I want your answer. Are you gonna take me or not?" arga Urge. His choice to survive with Agni is haunted by doubts.
"I'm sure you're cured. Of course I will accept you" Agni said.
"That means you won't accept me if I get back impotent." Arga concluded.
"Why are you so sure you're going back impotent?" reply Agni who felt astonished. Arga's worries certainly astonished him. Given Agni does not know what Arga must do to recover from impotence.
"I'm just smart. Okay well? You came to those young men because I couldn't satisfy your desires!" Arga.
"That's just a mistake... I'm..." Agni was confused as to what to say.
"Error? What mistakes will be made many times?" tymphal Arga's. He rubbed his face rough while clucking in annoyance. "It looks like I should reconsider our divorce" she continued, then left the balcony.
Agni was sculpting in place. He actually feels strange about Arga's concern about impotence.
On the other hand, Laras was enjoying a warm tea alone. He sat on the back porch of the villa.
At that time Laras was accompanied by the darkness of night. He held his own stomach.
"If Arga ends his relationship with me, then we automatically stop performing the ritual. That means..." The barrel suddenly thought of the fate of the fetus in its womb. How not? She remembers Senopati saying that her baby would die if she stopped performing the ritual.
"No! That can't happen. My son is the only one I have now!" mumbles Baras. He stood up from the seat. "I have to see Senopati! Maybe he's got a way to keep my son!" continued.
Laras intends to prepare to go to Senopati place. But just as he was about to get off the terrace, his steps came to a halt. Because Laras' attention was directed towards the trees. There looked an old man who was very similar to Senopati.
The pupils of the eye enlarge. He was sure the old man he saw was Senopati.
"Mbah Seno?" call Baras.
The man who looked like Senopati did not reply. He walked into the forest.
Barrel tried to chase the man. By sneaking a flashlight from a cell phone, he entered the forest.
The cold night wind blew straight away. The atmosphere of the forest makes Laras goosebumps. The woman thought she wanted to go back to the villa. Especially when he realized the man he was chasing was invisible.
"You looking for me?" a man's voice suddenly sounded. The barrel turned to the source of the voice. Senopati figure immediately welcomed.
"Mbah Seno! It's true you!" exclamation Baras.
"I already know what happened to you and Arga" Senopati added. He smiled slanted. A smile I've never seen before.
"Really?" Barrel stuttering.
"You want to ask me about the fetus in your belly, right?" guess Senopati.
"Yes! Is there any other way to preserve it than to perform rituals?" ask Laras.
"Haha! Didn't I tell you everything? You know the answer," responded Senopati.
"You mean there's no other way to defend it?" The Barrel's eyes are shaking.
"Yes! Dedemit's helping you and Arga need a collision if you decide to end the ritual!" senopati. "Ah, right. I told you that you and Arga can't fall in love, right?"
Baras did not answer. He who is afraid and anxious can only cry.
"That's because if you and Arga get married, then the risk will be greater than ending the ritual" continued Senopati.
