”Why have you kept it a secret from Mr Nak, haven't you guys been home all this time?”
Medina finally explained the case that occurred from a small quarrel with Daffa, because of the attitude of Bu Yanti who always meddled in her household problems, separated the bed for years until her in-laws asked her to give up Daffa and eventually ended in divorce. Medina, that woman is very good at keeping everything on her own without anyone else knowing the problem.

"Sorry Mbak Tami ya Din,” regret Tami brother Medina he felt embarrassed if remembering the past.
”It is important now that you have been treated well here,” said Medina. The two dissolve in small talk about their lives during their separation.
Kamil and Malvin had just returned to deliver Mr. Penghulu and also a group of witnesses from the Medina side.
”We're back at the hotel? Or do you want to wait for your grandfather here?” ask Kamil.
”I went back to the hotel only Om, after all here already there is aunty Tami and her husband who take care of grandfather but do not know also with mom whether she wants to be here or home,” replied Malvin.
”Mama come home tomorrow here again, mama has told your grandfather,” exclaimed Medina.
”Alright, why pout Bang?”
Medina saw Kamil bend his face like he was upset. ”Malvin, can you replace my call with ’papa’ am I not married to your mama?”
”Oh yes Om, uh Pa-papa,” said Malvin.

”Can you know the reason?" ask Kamil.
”A-ku is not ready Bang,” replied Medina worried that the man was disappointed because of his rejection but a second later a smile was seen on her handsome face.
Kamil understood what Medina meant, ”Alright I won't make you, let's sleep now!” invite Kamil who is ready to rest with his kimono as well as Medina who has just taken a shower and looks fresh her hair wrapped in a white towel.

”Tomorrow if we go back to Jakarta we meet my mother immediately yes, she must be happy because I am married.”
”What mom will accept me because my status is not a girl.”
”Mama must be happy to get a beautiful daughter-in-law like you,” Kamil said.
”Hopefully,” reply Medina.
The two also engaged in a conversation about what kind of life they will live in the future. It was not the first night ritual like a newlywed couple, and Kamil occasionally teased Medina.
”I will return first to Jakarta, if the business is done I will pick you up. There's a friend of mine who will help you so you don't have to worry.”
Somehow Medina's heart felt not wanting to part with the man who had now changed status to her husband.
”Malvin will take you home because he has to go to school, right?”
”Good.”
”You don't have to worry I'll take good care of it.” Medina nodded her head believing that Kamil could hold her words.

”Where is your husband?" mr. Ratno asked as soon as he saw his daughter coming alone.
”She and Malvin have to go home to Jakarta Pak, work a lot and Malvin also can not leave his school because soon will be the exam,” said Medina.
”May you be happy son, I can not love anything other than prayer,” said Mr. Ratno.
"Important that healthy father has made us happy and mbak Tami will also be happy to see the father back to undergo activities as usual.”
Medina led her father to the front door of the operating room, she paced before the door of her lips unceasingly chanting a prayer for her father.
”Sit just Deck, we are also anxious so don't make us more anxious,” scolds Tami.
”Eh yes mbak sorry yes,” reply Medina.
”Medina.”
A very familiar voice in her hearing, Medina turned her head in that direction.
”Mas Daffa. What is he doing here?”
