David returned to Indonesia he came to see Rey, the man had found the right body to be used as a replacement for Lita.

"You found him, right? There's no family, right?" david said in Rey's room.

"I'll make sure not, but you're serious about this plan. This is David's deception" Rey said so David could change his mind.

"I don't care about fraud or not that it matters my brother not found anyone" David concluded firmly.

"Have you told people to wash it near the location I told you to, right?" added David look at Rey.

Rey nodded slowly in response,

"Good, now that I have to go home I don't want my family or anyone else to be suspicious about this" David said.

"Hemm," Rey replied, she was actually reluctant to do this but wanted to how else.

David stands up and leaves, but Rey talks to him.

"You're back in Indonesia and then Lita, how's it going?" said Rey.

"He's with my girlfriend, and I won't be here long either. I took care of this matter and I just returned to America" replied David.

"I'm leaving" he added and walked straight out of Rey's room.

Fahri hastily drove the car at a fast speed just called by the SAR if they find Lita's body.

"No, no, that's definitely not you, is it?" fahri convinced himself.

"Lord, I beg you that it's not Lita, I beg you" Fahri said, praying in the car, hoping it wasn't his wife but someone else.

Sometime after he drove his car to the spot where Lita's body was found, too, his hope that was so great now seemed to slowly disappear not when he saw his two in-laws there crying and strengthening each other.

"Pa,." call Fahri to Aryo who is hugging Nafa.

"Fahri,." - Aryo took off her hug on Nafa.

He walked over to Fahri who was looking around where many journalists and SAR officers were.

"It's not Pa?" fahri asked for an explanation.

"Fahri you must be strong, sincere Lita. Let him calm down" said Aryo holding Fahri's shoulder.

"No, Pa, this must not be true." Fahri immediately ran towards the crowd and the police line he would make sure it was Lita or not.

"Get aside, get out of here step aside" his jolt drove out everyone surrounding Lita's alleged body.

He was instantly like a lifeless statue whose body stiffened at that. From its body is very similar to Lita, the corpse is also somewhat rotten so that it is not recognized and also filled with mud all over the body.

Fahri sat in front of the body,

"No, this isn't you, this is open Lita" her tears burst her eyes so red they shed tears.

He cleaned the mud from the body he wanted to make sure it was Lita.

"This is not you, this is not." his eyes immediately fixated to see the clothes worn by the body. That, it was Lita's shirt as she jumped off the bridge.

Fahri's cry instantly became, so it's true this is Lita. Lita's wife,.

"No, this is not possible, why.why do you do that." said Fahri sobbing while shaking the decomposed body.

"Fahri, he's rotting, don't be so fucked" said the policeman.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault.it's my fault, Bripka Hanan caught me, I'm guilty I killed him, I said, arrest me" Fahri said holding Hanan's hand to arrest him.

"Fahri calm down, don't you talk like that. Here a lot of media, they can drop you with one article" said Aryo slowly while calming Fahri.

"Pa Lita Pa Lita, a. I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Fahri cried as he felt unable to bear the pain of this life as if he had stopped knowing this reality. Lita went completely away as she wished.

"Thalita, ." Hysterically in front of the body.

He hugged the wet, mud-filled body. How he lived with this regret later on, his own sense of hatred at this moment disappeared evaporating somewhere.

And why is his heart so tied to the name Thalita rather than Dira. It was possible that his heart had changed its name, and if so why was it too late for him to confess his feelings. Thalita the kind and sincere woman who loved her, is now completely gone.

"God why are you giving this feeling when he's gone, why?" his voice looked up at the sky so bright.

………………

Lita sat down with the boyfriend of David, an Indonesian woman who has lived in America for a long time. The woman named Naya had been in love with David long enough but indeed David had not introduced her to anyone including the man's family. Every time he asks her why she hasn't been introduced to David's family.

The man who looked so mysterious always answered wait for the right time. "I don't want you being hunted by journalists for getting into my family" Davis always answered.

Even so, he appreciates David's decision to keep their relationship a secret. It was also for the sake of his family, he who came from an ordinary family obviously received criticism from people about being with the children of a conglomerate family not a conglomerate anymore but a very rich family.

Naya notices Lita who is silent with her snacks and drinks that are still intact untouched.

"Lita,." he said holding Lita's hand, leaving a blank look.

"Ah yes sis," said Lita realized from her daydream and looked towards Naya.

"Mbak has already said, call it mbak Lita mbak javanese yang yang yang yang mbak than kak." said Naya still holding Lita's hand.

"Ah sorry brother, uh means mbak" concluded Lita lirih not excited.

"What are you daydreaming about? the same story as Lita" said Naya trying to be a friend confided Lita.

Lita shook her head slowly, as if she wanted to say but she couldn't. she couldn't tell it, it felt like she wanted to cry. His eyes alone were currently already glazed as Naya continued to look at him.

"You know, you have a lot of thoughts. I didn't Pa-pa say the same mbak" said Naya clasping Lita's hand getting stronger as if giving energy to her boyfriend's sister.

"I'm confused about where to tell the story" said Lita sadly.

"Tell me, don't be your own pastor. It feels even more nyesek, luapin aja. If you want to cry yes cry, do not need to be detained deck"

"Sir, why is my life like this?Why does everyone hate me, why mbak? why is everyone like this to me" broke already cry Lita, broke already she cried sobbing tightly grasping the hand of the woman who was likely to be her sister-in-law.

"No Pa-pa just cry Lita, luapin all" said Naya, she also felt sad and sick to see Lita let alone hear the story of this woman. He knew everything from David, David told him everything about Lita.
