Tonight Dahlia comes back to Seruni's grandmother's residence. Of course he wants to leave to return to the city of Lampung. Even though he knew Mila must not have been able to forgive him. But at least Dahlia could see her son. At least he could meet Mila one last time.
Dahlia stands in front of her stepmother's house. Fera minus Intan. Dahlia and Fera are forced to leave diamonds on Ida, because the little girl is asleep. Dahlia rotates the terrace of the house with a garden of flowers as well as medicinal plants.
Lia remembered that Aminah was very fond of the plant. Sometimes Lia likes to wonder the same Aminah with her favorite. Where most young women are busy with the activities of girls their age. Different from Aminah who is a home child, different from her who really likes to swagger. But it was as a form of protest to both his parents, his father and mother Seruni. Dahlia felt that Aminah was more dear to her than she was.
"Well, I love the plants. After Aminah died, Mila took the place of caring for this plant. I saw Mila like Aminah, she was deft in domestic affairs. He also loves his two sisters. Although different mother." Dahlia felt someone talking to her. The woman looked at the man standing in front of her.
"You know, Lia. When I found out you had a child with me. There was a deep sense of regret at that moment. How could I not know that you were going to get pregnant? I told you before, let's elope. And you rejected me.
Suddenly you came when Aminah and I were living happily. The question I asked at the time was, is Mila my son. Until I ventured to a DNA test, the results were positive,"
Rohim remembered when he was asked to marry Aminah. His parents loved Aminah more than Dahlia. No matter what Dahlia looked like in the eyes of her parents, Rohim did not have time to question that. Besides Dahlia also refused to run away with him.
The man finally accepted his parents' choice. Heavy indeed, he had also warned Dahlia several times, if something happened to his lover. Because of their forbidden relationship. But in fact, on the day of her and Aminah's wedding, Dahlia had already left home. He broke Rohim's heart. Of course his plan to cancel the marriage failed instantly.
"I'm sorry Rohim. Honestly, when I found out I was pregnant with Alia, it was a tough time back then. I gave birth to Alia amid the bitterness of life. Stay in a narrow contract. Not to mention I left Alia to work. Leave it to the neighbors, fortunately they want to accommodate Alia. Until I realized Alia needed a father figure. Moreover, seeing Aminah very dear to Alia," Dahlia shrunk her nose.
I don't think he wants to leave Bengkulu. He still wants to repair his relationship with Mila. But the house in Lampung he can't forget.
"I want to see Mila before I go back to Lampung tomorrow. I'm also sorry that all this time there was an attitude of mine that offended you both intentionally and unintentionally,"
"Let's stay at the parlor tonight. Because her husband grew up in a home. Maybe I'll tell him later. About you going back to Lampung. But can you hold on for a while to mend your relationship, "Rohim is like holding Dahlia back from leaving.
"I'm also going back to Lampung. Because I left my efforts there. While this house will remain in Mila and Lala," explained Rohim.

Tonight Mila is sitting in the living room of Kasih Ibu orphanage. The village is located in Bali. Location adjacent to the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu. The atmosphere of the quiet and dark area of the streets of the orphanage. No lighting except from the parlour.
After helping Sari to cook the children's home dinner menu. Mila walked into the living room. Photo of children's success. There are also trophies given by the governor of Bengkulu.
"I'm handsome, right" a soft voice accompanied by a hand wrap filled Mila's waist.
"Yes, my husband is very handsome. He looks great behind the white coat he always wears, thank you, mas. You came into my life" said Mila.
Danu immediately hid Mila behind his chest. Closely clutching his wife's body. Although he felt claustrophobic considering the illness he suffered since childhood. Mila felt something wet about her face.
"You cry, Mas? wh why? am I wrong?"
Danu shook her head. His wife was never wrong. Mila was the best girl she had ever met. "I'm overwhelmed, baby. Got a special wife like you" Danu flicked Mila's nose.
"Special what, Mas. I am just an ordinary woman. There are still many weaknesses in me, precisely the great mother Nurmala. Educating great children like them," said Mila pointed to several photos of orphanage children who excel in the field of religion.
"Mas, I was playing with Rara. It seems he does need adults to step in to educate him. Rara has not been fluent in speaking while she is two and a half years old. That's Kara who's the same age as him is smart chattering.
Mas if you will, I want us to adopt Rara. I'm honestly in love with that kid,"
"If it's about Rara's adoption I'm talking to Nurmala's mother, because Rara is the daughter of the mother's niece. I can't just make a decision. Unless the other kid's obviously an orphan."
Danu actually agrees with Mila's desire to adopt Rara. But that becomes an obstacle that Rara still has a biological mother who works in Malaysia. Rara was dropped when she was one week old by her birth mother. Because she had to work while her husband had run away with another woman.
Rara still has grandparents in linggau precisely in Merasi. Rara's grandfather was the younger sister of Nurmala's mother. Danu and Bu Nurmala took turns caring for Rara at that time.
"His real name is Tiara Andini Rahmadanti" Danu told his wife.
"What a pretty name, Mom. As beautiful as her son." replied Mila.
"It's late, we're taking a break, yuk." take Danu.
