Darma's heart has been broken. He didn't want to hear anything Elrick explained. Enough of his trust in the man was trampled under the dung.
In her room, Raya was already sobbing, because she had to watch a fight between two men who she loved so much.
Elrick insists on not leaving, while Darma's patience runs out and is forced to throw his fists at Elrick.
The man stayed on, standing upright without taking a step back. Darma is increasingly upset, Elrick's attitude is considered a defiant attitude until Darma gives one more blow at the man's temple.
"Already, Dad. Don't hit it again, pity Elrick," said Raya running in her father's way. Stand up to the two men.
Cheese....!
Darma spat, staring at the hate and disgust. Pulling Raya in by force. Elrick couldn't do anything. He would take Darma's punch as an expression of the man's anger at him. Elrick considers this a reward for his unworthy actions yesterday.
"Dad, let me go. Let me treat Elrick's wound, well," said Raya thrashing, but Darma with all her might held Raya and pulled into the house.
"Mas Elrick's...."
"Come in, Ray. I'm not papa. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day I will come, Om. I leave Raya to Om, until om feels I deserve her," Elrick said half-screaming because the door was closed.
"Sir, are you okay?" asked Mr. Kades and some residents who had been watching the hit-and-run attraction began to approach Elrick. Frenzy over Darma's screeches drove some people out of the house, and who happened to pass in front of the house, stopped watching the beating.
"I'm fine, sir," said Mr. Kades who recognized Elrick. The old man had met with Elrick several times, starting from the purchase of Mr. Sutioso's house and when the management of the construction of hotels and tourist attractions in the village.
"He's crazy, Mas. Why not fight it?" said Markonah sok kompak. From the tweets of the people who crowded earlier, he got information that the people who had been the conversation in the village, had been, about the arrival of a wealthy man who wants to build a village turned out to be the person who is currently beaten by Darma. He didn't want to waste the opportunity to get Elrick's attention.
"Who's crazy? Be careful when you talk. He's my future in-law" he said firmly.
"Mmm. I'm sorry, Royal Lord, I'd better take you home. We'll talk at the host's house" said Mr. Kades, who tried to take Elrick's heart.
Everyone who stood in front of Darma's house dispersed. The man sat in the living room, extending his ears to the people out there.
"Anyways, I don't agree that you're in touch with that guy anymore!" Firmly Darma before entering his room.

The next morning Darma, who is usually ready to go to the rice field, just casually sit in front of the television, enjoy coffee and also watch the news.
"Daddy not to the rice field?"
"So. I'm just gonna be home today. From tomorrow, you're coming with me to the garden. Go home and go with me!"
Raya did not answer. He clearly knew what his father's goal was. He went back into the room, thinking about Elrick who was beaten last night by his father. He could only pray that Elrick would be okay.
The next day, early in the morning, Darma had already returned from the market when Raya had just finished her bath. "Dad shopping?"
"Yes. From now on, I'll go to the market, so you don't have to go outside. Now we go to the rice fields," said Darma handed over a plastic bag containing vegetables, fish and all the kitchen spices.
"You just sit here, let the father come down to the garden" Darma said after they arrived at his palm oil plantation. Raya is asked to sit sweetly in a small house that is usually used by Darma to rest or shelter when it rains.
"I can help you pick up the palm seeds that fall around the tree" said Raya pointing to their palm oil plantations.
"No, let me just dad. If you meet a piggy bank later, how? oh, I asked you to stay here. Make coffee for dad," said Darma apply gozi carrying a basket that has a rope on both sides like a bag until it can be carried.
Fun with his daydreams, Raya just jerked in shock when someone kissed the top of his head.
"Aaaach.." he looked back. "Mas Elrick?" His eyes sparkled, so happy. He thought after the fight all night, Elrick wouldn't show up again anytime soon.
"Shock, huh?"
"Why can it be here? How do you know we're in the garden?" Raya asked excitedly at first, but then, it turned ordinary. Why did he ask that, of course the man knew everything. What does that guy not know? His men must have been put on some side.
"Cock not excited?"
"Not being nanya. I know everything about my family."
Elrick dropped himself beside Raya. Sniffing the vanilla fragrance from the girl's body. "I miss you, Ray, '" he whispered with glittering eyes.
"Mas want to kiss? look out for dad. He was hit again. Still sore?" Raya stroked Elrick's temple which was still red and looked bruised.
"Non-pain. Your father's punch is not much," the god smiled knotfully.
"Kc... Not tired of mocking my father. He said he wanted to be serious about his son, when the future-in-law dikatai?"
"Who does not. I respect that. If not, I've been carrying this girl for a long time. Ray's... " Elrick faces the front of Raya. Caressed the girl's pretty face, then kissed her cheek. "I can't wait to turn my back on you."
Raya bowed shyly. His heart is back, beating faster. "Oma wants to see you before they go back to Jakarta" said Elrick squeezing Raya's hand and kissing the back of the girl's hand.
"Omma? in here?" Elrick nodded.
"They? same who?"
"Who else, the man who wanted to replace my position at the stake. Good thing you guys didn't get married, if that happens, I'll be you two. Ray, I'm serious, I've never loved someone this big. I never feared anything in this world, until I met. I'm afraid I can't see you anymore, I'm afraid you're gonna cry because of me, I'm afraid someone's been scolding you. I'm afraid I'm losing you, Ray." Highlight Elrick's eyes so sharp, locking onto Raya's gaze. And he could see the sincerity of his words.
"Thank you for loving me. Thank you for loving me so much" he said in tears.
"Bas stupid, why are you crying?" Elrick pulled the girl into his arms. So serene. He was not afraid if Darma suddenly appeared.
"Mas Elrick, why do you like me? when did you start liking? I really like it, right? not because I feel sorry for you?" said Raya played her index finger on the man's chest. Draw the shape of the heart there. Elrick had to work hard to concentrate on answering the question of Raya by putting hers back to sleep that had begun to be disturbed by the touch of Raya.
"I love you, because that's you. So never doubt my love."
