An atmosphere of grief enveloped the Hasea family. Rudolf was seen crying in front of Uli's navel. Uli actually wanted to be buried in the homeland, but because of his citizenship status, it made it difficult.

The sudden incident made not much preparation, only Hotman who followed to America for the honor and final farewell to his sister, Uli.

The exhausted Dean hugged his father.

"You have to be with your husband, he needs you more now. Entertain him, at this time he is very fragile" said Hotman.

After the funeral, Hotman went home first. He asked to bring Uli's sarong cloth which Tiur would keep as a memento. Perhaps Uli did not have the same blood as Hotman, but still, for the man, Uli was the younger brother he loved the most.

Two days in America, Sea accompanied and comforted his father. During that time anyway, he did not meet Dean who was also as lost as Sea.

He loved Uli. The woman's tenderness made her really feel lost. After all, Uli was Sea's mother, the man who had always been her husband and the man who always took care of her.

A week in America, Sea asked permission to return to his father's homeland. It was also because it was seen, Rudolf's state was calmer, able to accept Uli's departure.

While on the plane, Dean continued to cry, hugging the cloth covered by Uli on her husband, and asking to be given to Dean as a memento. There was one letter written by Uli before he died.

'Mama loves you very much. Mama left her sarong and sling cloth on you, my parumaen (His daughter-in-law) so that later you can use it to cover and hold my granddaughter. Mama knows it should have been you who gave it to her when your child was born, but mama's time is not much else. Mama tipped Sea, take care of him and mama please you are always by his side either in a difficult or happy situation. Hug kiss, Mama.'

Sea had been asking why the girl was crying, but Dean would not answer, instead close his body, entering Sea's arms.

"Have it, don't cry anymore" whispered Sea kissing Dean's head, for he knew the time to do so would no longer exist.
