Moments before Amanda arrived, Amman opened her eyes from her long sleep. He realized there was no one beside him. Vera is also out of nowhere, even Rachel was completely invisible from the first moment she woke up.
The old man sighed, there was an empty feeling that was now crawling his inner self. Suddenly his arrogance had collapsed, he realized that the most painful thing was not the absence of money. Except for the absence of people who care about us.
He may have wealth, power, and successfully build an image that makes all employees fear and submit to him. But all of that is useless. Even the money and power that he has, can not buy the slightest love and attention.
Right now he just wants to be loved, but realized if he never once spread love. How to harvest rice, while the seeds he never planted. How can he plant, while he himself does not have the seed.
Two nurses came in. Check the infusion, and also feed it to him. But that's not the kind of love Amman wants. They didn't know each other and the nurse was just doing her job.
Although the task was done with all his heart, the nurse was still not the one who loved Amman. Amman has no love in his life. Both from couples, children, and people who have been near him.

"Java!"
Ryan ordered Amman to answer his question. About why Amman wants to destroy Arka's marriage and Amanda's.
Aman himself confused where to start, which is clear at this time he felt so guilty. He has been trying to separate the two since then. Because of his heart's intention to match Amanda with Ryan's child.
But since the incident the other day, he had even forgotten about it. When he woke up from his sleep earlier, he actually had intended to stop all the crimes he had planned.
He felt that there was no point in pursuing treasure, when death was so close to us. Maybe all this time he always tried to deny, if he was old. He felt his body was very healthy and could still do many things.
But death is not only approaching, because of the natural condition of the aging body. But it could have happened because of someone else, like what he is experiencing now. Yeah, that moaning could've taken his life.
Amman was really made close to death by that incident. Moreover, his blood was rare and could only be helped by fellow survivors. Just a little bit of Aaron stabbing deeper and then late, he might have passed. Truly treasure will not be able to help, if everything is destined to end.
"Amman, I'm talking to you."
Ryan said once again, but Amman's eyes were still staring far ahead.
"Ok, if you don't want to talk. Or maybe it's hard to talk about all this, I'll go now. But I'm asking never to nullify their household again, Arka's a good boy. Even if he is not my son and he is poor, you do not play directly to separate them. You have to think about Amanda's happiness, don't just think about chasing treasure. What else are you looking for?. We're old, man. We're not the old ones anymore. And besides, I, we're all rich. If you want to keep your heart, there will never be any satisfaction."
Amman still did not answer a word, but he heard and absorbed all of Ryan's words. Shortly after, Ryan left the place.

"Arka."
Amanda bursts into Arka's arms, when they finally meet at the penthouse. Arka who did not know anything was immediately hugged the wife.
"You're koq home late?" ask Arka. Because usually they go home together or Amanda first.
Amanda did not answer, she was just permeating the scent of her husband's body. I mean find calm there.
"Why you?"
Arka suspects that something has happened. Although Amanda didn't say it, but she knew the woman's spirit. He knows Amanda even better than the people closest to him.
"You're all right, right?" ask Arka later. Amanda still didn't react.
"Papa, Ka." she said later.
"Why why?" ask Arka to his wife.
"He wants to sue for our marriage, time. A drama, really?"
Arka laughed, he then let go of his embrace and looked at his wife.
"You know that our marriage is legal, our marriage is also your father's sister. Then why should you be sprained, angry, and bete gini?. Your excess energy, so want to be thrown out that's half of it?"
Amanda bent her lips, and both eyes were now enlarged. Just like the lemurs of Madagascar.
"Yes because I'm kels, Ka. Sadly, we are both trying hard so that this household is cool. There are others who want to disturb, can't be what's quiet in our lives."
"Actually there will be a storm or anything from the outside, depending on our response. Want a santuy what?"
"Well, when we relax, we can think of saving ourselves where. If you panic, you're laughing." Arka defended herself.
Amanda was just about to answer back, but Arka then kissed his wife's lips. Amanda was silent, then replied in the next few seconds.
"What if we eat meatballs?" Arka gave me an idea.
"You want to order an ojek?" ask Amanda.
"No need, people I've bought." said Arka while glancing at the dining table.
Amanda turned to look there, there were two bowls of meatballs still in the plastic wrap.
"Well, the best is you" said Amanda Sumringah.
"Eat yuk!" said Arka again.
"Come on."
Amanda smiled and walked to the dinner table, followed by her husband.
"Man, I forgot."
Arka tells Amanda when they start eating.
"I met Maureen's mother the other day. Maureen really did, she said."
Amanda somewhat slowed down her originally bad eating process.
"You mean, he's really not in papa's place anymore?" ask the woman.
"Where do I know." replied Arka.
"What did you tell his mother?"
"Yes, I said I don't know. I'm also confused, if you want to say that I've met him at your papa's place. Afraid of his mother's long-term."
"Yes told me about the behavior of her son, who wants to be an impromptu princess. Just justify all means."
"That's exactly it, Man. I'm afraid that if I say Maureen's there, either her mother comes but her Maureen doesn't exist. How's it?"
"Where would he be, if he wasn't at papa's?"
"Well that's the one I don't know, try to ask your papa's house person."
"The problem is their contact does not exist, Ka. I don't know the people in her house, there's only one or two people I know. I don't know if they still work there. Most of Rachel's people are all working there now, I want to see you again, Males."
"Have you been there, huh?"
"Udah earlier, I was angry about the lawsuit that was sent with his stupid lawyer."
"How do you keep reacting?"
"She's on it, I'd like to talk but I don't give her a chance. Keep me going, get angry."
Arka grabbed a glass of water in front of him, then drank the water up to half. He sighed while looking at Amanda.
"Other times come well huh." he said later.
"Yes" replied Amanda riled up, devouring her final meatballs.
"Koq that's the answer?"
"Yes, Arka."
Amanda said in a stressed tone, Arka herself then laughed at hearing all that.
