Arriving at the house that will be occupied by Devan and Catherine. The man holds Catherine's body back, Devan buys a new house because he thinks that his wife would be more comfortable if she stayed alone with him.

Brian and Gracia also agree to Devan's wishes, though Gracia finds it hard to separate the house with her son.

When they learn that Catherine has been allowed to return home, Brian and Gracia come to Devan's house to welcome her daughter-in-law.

Devan steps towards the main door with Catherine drowning her face in the chest of Devan's field in embarrassment to the servant in the house.

"Welcome to your new home ... !" gracia said as Devan entered the main door with Mark opening the door.

"Mommy ... !" devan smiled after seeing Gracia in the house.

"Welcome!" brian smiled faintly. The middle-aged man suddenly appeared from behind his wife's back.

"Thank you Dad, Mom!" devan said smiling.

"Where are you?" gracia asked as the middle-aged woman did not see the presence of the iron.

"I'm here!" replied Puja who suddenly appeared behind the door."

"Yes already, Mom! I'm taking my wife to the room first! My wife still needs a lot of rest!" pamit Devan's.

"Yes there, baby! Let me tell the waiter to take the food to your room!" gracia.

"No, Dev! I've had too much rest. Let's just hang out in the living room, I want to have a chat with our family first!" catherine smiled.

"Well, if that's what you want" Devan said.

Devan took Catherine to the living room, and they talked warmly until lunch. After that they had lunch together, they immediately say goodbye, as well as Puja who also asked permission to return to London to catch up with Louis.

Brata picks up the middle-aged woman, who manages to make Catherine sad because her mommy is coming home to London. Catherine escorted her mommy to a parking lot driven by Devan in a wheelchair. While Brian and Gracia go home first.

"You don't have to be sad, honey! Mommy just went home to mommy's place, where mommy's not here, but in London!" puja said as she stroked her daughter's cheek.

"Yes, Mom!" but Catherine will definitely miss Mommy a lot!" catherine said softly.

"If you recover later, you can go to London with your husband!" said Puja while glancing at Devan at a glance. The man was standing behind Catherine's wheelchair.

"Yes, Honey! We'll have a honeymoon!" devan teased his wife.

"What the hell, Dev!" catherine said with red cheeks.

"Devan's right, honey! Get healed quickly! The honeymoon is important. In addition, we also want to celebrate your wedding reception!" puja.

"Yes, Mommy went home to Brata first to clean up Mommy's stuff!" said Puja while stroking his daughter's hair. Catherine answered Puja with a nod of her head.

"I'm taking my daughter, Dev! I trust you'll look after her without me telling you, mommy, hope your eyes will forever not be closed to Catherine, until you always see the kindness of my daughter even if Catherine makes a fatal mistake that you can hardly forgive" Puja said.

"I'm not Randa, Auntie! If Randa leaves Catherine for just one mistake. Then I will defend Catherine with a thousand mistakes" Devan said.

Puja smiled at Devan's reply, "Mommy isn't sure you'll survive if mommy's daughter makes a thousand mistakes!" puja teases her daughter-in-law.

"I'm sure Mom, because I knew that Catherine wouldn't be like that" Devan said. Catherine smiled at her husband's words.

"Yes, Mommy's home!" pamit Puja who does not stop developing a smile because of his daughter-in-law's answer.

"Be careful, Mom!" catherine waved her hand after Puja stepped towards Brata's car.

"Be careful!" catherine said as she waved her hand.

After that, Brata circled her car and sat in the steering chair with Puja sitting next to her.

Brata drove her car at a moderate speed, after which Puja sat perfectly beside her.

...🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟...

"Let's take a shower!" Devan carried Catherine's body from her bed, then sat the woman in the bathtub.

Devan was about to open Catherine's shirt. However, the woman stopped her steps. "Stop!" shouted Catherine.

Devan stopped his steps. "Why, Honey?" devan asked, frowning.

"Why do you want to do me, right? Like in those novels?" accuse Catherine of staring sharply at Devan.

"Oh my goodness, honey! You always thought badly of me! You mostly read novels, so your mind wretches!" devan.

"So you want to do something?" catherine asked as she covered her chest by crossing her hands.

"I just want to turn on the water, and the towel wants me to put it near you so you won't have any trouble picking it up if I get out!" devan said smiling.

"Well, I'll go out first, call me when I'm done taking a shower!" devan smiled after making sure everything was ready.

Then the man stepped away from Catherine after making sure everything was complete and was near her.

Catherine became misbehaved until the woman smiled to herself, as a shadow of her past flashed through the woman's mind, Catherine tried to remember it until the woman felt pain in her head.

Because too hard to think, Catherine was unconscious in the bathtub and her body drowned.

"Darling ... !" call Devan behind the door.

"It's over, hasn't it?" devan asked while knocking on the bathroom door.

Devan, who felt strange for not getting an answer from his wife, now opened the bathroom door.

Devan was surprised to find his wife unconscious. "Catherine ... !" shouts Devan. The man immediately carried his wife's body carrying the woman to his room.

Devan covered Catherine's body while patting the woman's cheek. "Darling! You why? Wake Cath! Wake up!" devan was worried.

Devan who was worried to see the condition of his wife immediately gave artificial breath without a second thought, until the woman choked and coughed.

"Are you okay, honey?" devan asked holding Catherine's head.

Catherine whose memories recovered instantly looked Devan in the eyes with tears condensing. The woman immediately hugged the man's body tightly.

"Have you really become my husband, now?" ask the sobbing Catherine. Devan tried to let go of Catherine's embrace he wanted to stare at his wife's face. However, Catherine tightened her arms so much that the man chose to shut up and listen to the wife.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" ask Catherine again with her pill cry. Devan raised his hand, then returned the woman's embrace.
