"HE DIED SAVING YOUR PAPA. EVEN HE TOOK YOUR SON AWAY WITH HIM!!."

Danar looked at his mother and was surprised as well as Anya.

"What do you mean Mama. The dance was not pregnant. Don't make it - Ngada!," Anisa shook her head

"She's pregnant with your son, Danar. It was 14 weeks old. Which means, she was already pregnant when you got divorced!!.", Anisa again shed her tears, even this time it sounded so bitter.

"No!! That is impossible!!", cried Danar.

"But that's the truth, Danar!!. Dance died carrying your son. Still backlash you cursed her with harsh and hurtful words?!! He took your son away, he took my grandson away!!."

Danar immediately limp, instantly. So, Dance pregnant her child? It was only a few days before he filed for divorce. Dance is often nausea and vomiting. Why didn't he realize that. Haha, how stupid Danar is. What kind of husband is this.

"Why? Why did everyone leave me with wounds?", said Danar. "formerly Gita, and now Dance. O God, why are you punishing me like this!!." Danar's cries instantly broke. He realized all his mistakes. His selfishness to Dari, who in fact loved him so much.

"I hurt him so many times, I even threw him away after I got bored. Hahah, I am such a cruel man!!."

Regret, that's the only word that dwells in the minds of Danar and Anisa. Seeing Danar's sadness, Anisa knows that her son still has feelings of love for Tari, although not as big as before.

"I'm cruel, aren't I, Ma?. I'm ruthless. I hurt Dance so deep. He even punished me very painfully. I lost my son again. Hix, Hix, God has given me the right punishment. I lost all the precious people in my life!."

"Mas, don't talk like that. There is still me and Mama!", Anya said.

"Well, you'll leave me after this child is born, won't you? And finally, I will live a long life. Everything I love leaves me alone!!," Danar is increasingly intrigued. This made Anisa and Anya sad.

"Mas, I won't leave you. We're gonna raise this kid together!."

"I doubt! I hesitated because it seemed like God was punishing me to live alone forever. You see, Gita's gone and now, Dance's gone too. Next, I'm sure you'll be gone too!!."

"Listen to me, Mom. Whatever happens. I will keep catching you. In joy or sorrow. So never say if God punishes you like that. He will not give trials if His own people are unable to pass through. It's a destiny you have to go through, Mom. Never blame God, for he knows what is best for his people!."

The house of January immediately became mourning because of the arrival of the corpse of Tari. January was also saddened by the fate of his stepson. He even shed tears when he remembered all his memories with Tari, long ago.

"Rest in peace, son!."

Soon Tari's body was taken to the cemetery. Dirga, Gita and some of Dirga's relatives also took Tari's body to the final resting place.

Dirga was still staring at that wet mound of earth. He occasionally rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"He's calm, Mum!."

Dirga looked at his wife and nodded, "We must pray for her to have a beautiful place by His side!."

Dirga and Gita leave the funeral. They will hold the next seven days at home in January. Right after they left, Danar came with Anisa and Anya. Actually, the man has not been allowed to leave the hospital, but the man forced out because he wanted to go to the funeral of Dance.

Now they are in front of a meal bearing the name Mentari. Danar recalls his memories with Tari, spoiled the woman and how much he loved Danar. Dance is willing to sacrifice her time and herself just for Danar. But what happened now, he even disappointed Dance. Still vividly remembered how ruined Dance was when she was about to marry Anya. Dance poured out all her heart and made Danar know that not only was Dari injured, but she was also destroyed.

Dance, if in my future life I'm still given a chance to meet you. I won't waste you anymore. I will not hurt or disappoint you. I'm sorry that I can't keep our love, can't keep our promise. I know, you must be disappointed and hurt. I'm just sorry I can say. I will always pray for you and our children. Now, just calm down in nature. And wait until we meet at a different time. Goodbye, Mentari. Goodbye, my love.
