The flash back
Tara is the son of the village, the son of the largest plantation owner and has many workers. Not to mention the rice mill owned by his parents are large and very famous. Tara is the only child in her family. He has a good Father and a good mother. He prefers to study in Jakarta. Although his mother asked him to stay in the village but did not make him stay, because Tara wanted to go to college quietly without the nickname of the son of a coach.
Studied in Jakarta until graduation and intend to marry Cantika who he knew through Andini, the most beautiful former for him. Tara's graduation day invites Cantika to meet with her parents, well-wishers until the application and wedding plans arrive in plain sight.
But the sad news from the village makes Tara have to go home immediately without Cantika, because at that time Cantika is having a graduation event, and Tara does not want to disturb the important moment she is only once in her lifetime. Though Cantika was eager to join, she wanted to attend and see her future Mamah-in-law for the latter. Not only that, he wanted to accompany Tara who was grieving and definitely needed a friend to share her grief.
"Sister, I'm coming with ya..." Cantika has been scowling ever since wanted to come, but Tara really did not let the heart let Cantika miss the event what else in the further parting event.
"Pretty..sad..lady just a minute, about a week there. Until the end of the event, brother will come back to see you and we get married. You are here to focus on all the preparations, do not be tired because after marriage you will not give me rest!" Tara blinked one eye. Actually, it's not the only reason Tara doesn't want to invite Cantika. He wanted to find out why his mother had suddenly died.
"Ikh what sich sak!" he said timidly, Cantika does have a soft temperament and does not like to be based. Therefore, since close to Cantika, Tara took off my loe call that he used to say. What else is Cantika who has a spoiled and adorable nature for Tara. Started as a taxi driver and now turned into a love object, the point is annoyed to like.
Berat left Cantika alone, but after a breakup with the family of his former lover who is the adoptive family of his future wife he was calm. And forbid Cantika to live alone in his private house.
Arriving at home, Tara immediately headed home where she grew up. And just as Tara set foot in front of the fence, there was already a line of mourners filling the yard. Tara's chest tightness saw the typical flag of grief in the house. The man immediately entered and hugged his mother's stiff body which was now lifeless.
His mother had no history of any illness, even last night she had just chatted over the phone. Discussing her marriage to Cantika but not yet 12 hours after she turned off her cell phone connection, Tara got the news in the morning blind that her mother was dead. When asked about the cause, no one answered. Until Tara was furious and felt that something had deliberately made her mother die.
You were no less surprised because the wife before she died still had time to go to the market and go home in good condition. Then the breakfast porridge that he knew was given by his friend when he met at the market. Mother was still healthy and had time to cook but when accompanying the father of breakfast, he fell unconscious and suddenly died.
Tara and her father felt devastated by the death of Mother, but has not receded his sadness even the mother's grave is still wet. With the heart of the father to bring the woman right when Tara wanted to return to Jakarta because he also had to prepare a wedding that could not be delayed.
Tara shook her head when she saw a woman who had an age not far from her mother came in neat clothes and the ustadz were present with some people she did not know. The woman was not alone, she came along with a girl who was not far from her age.
"What is this, sir?" ask him by putting the bag he will carry. Tara did not understand what her father would plan because during the week he was in the village, Tara did not talk much with the father who was busy with his garden and business.
"Did this meet your new mother, son, you're going to marry her today."

As in the lightning struck his heart was so hurt with the answer from the Father, it was as easy as that the mother was replaced, it was as easy as that the father loved another woman while all this time he knew the father loved his mother very much, and what model woman will be his stepmother. Just looking at her Tara was already uncomfortable, what else was her daughter who had been staring incessantly ever since.
"Sir, last night just finished the event tahlilan mother, but you already want to replace the mother with another woman? you still sane about that?"
"Tara!"
Tara shook her head and left without even wanting to see her wedding.
"Next week of my wedding, I hope you come and witness my marriage to Cantika!" he said before he really left and left the house that would later become the power of his stepmother.
"Why did you let him go?" ask a woman named Wati.
"Let it go, I understand how she feels. But gradually he will accept. Let's just start the hijab...."
Until the next week and it was time for Tara to marry Cantika, her father did not come until the day of H. Until the wedding without parents. Sad for sure, but Tara thought maybe this was a reply because she left during her father's wedding a week ago.
"How can you get sick? What did you do to my father until he had a stroke like this?" Tara really could not bear to come and find her father could not do anything, while previously he looked handsome even no signs of illness.
"Prophe Cak ..." Cantika tried to calm down by gently rubbing Tara's arm, but the gaze of the woman next to her mother-in-law made Cantika uncomfortable.
"Your father fell in the bathroom and it wasn't my fault, all the neighbors knew about it. And don't accuse me!"
Tara let out a heavy sigh, she did not understand why things would become like this. And now he lives in the village and replaces his Father to take care of all the business. Luckily Cantika wanted to be invited to live there, even want to help him go to the garden and hot when he had to check the work of the workers.
"Buck...."
Cantika and Tara turned to the origin of the voice, there was Lita's half-sister from Tara who came with a bushel containing food and a small teapot containing warm tea.
"What's Lita doing?"
"Lita was cooking and this is Lita bringing for lunch. Let's take a break, it's hungry by noon, right?" Lita immediately stepped into the hut to arrange the food she brought. But before Tara stepped, she first looked at the wife.
"Nothing sis, pretty so no need to go home after this we go directly to the factory."
"Are you okay with me eating other women's cooking?" tanya Tara made sure.
"Origin not from food down to the heart!" cantika replied by pointing her index heart to Tara's chest and was caught by her.

"You're just you, baby."
Cantika threw her face away, covered her already blushing face and made her embarrassed to stare at Tara, but not Tara her name if she let it go. He deliberately showered his wife's face with a kiss.
"So stop, brother! shame on me, someone will see!"
"Let's kiss my own wife, not anyone's wife!" the answer then immediately stepped towards the hut.
"Sister, watch out for the courage!" he shouted and immediately chased after his husband. The interaction of the two did not escape the sight of Lita who stared off and even fed up when she saw Tara and Cantika look so friendly.
"It's a mas please eat." Lita gives a plate that has been filled with rice complete with side dishes and vegetables. But there were only two dishes there and one was already in Lita's use for herself.
"You eat here too?" tara asked with a probing look but Lita casually nodded her head and immediately ate. The clueless Cantika just kept silent with a smile looking at Tara.
"Is this the plate? for the Cantika not there?" ask again.
"It was for Cantika, but I laper way here is quite mas, it looks good also eat in the middle of the gini plantation." Tara let out a long sigh, she realized that Lita was intentional.
"It's okay, brother, I've eaten. I can use the teak leaves, fresher later eat it because the smell is delicious." Cantika immediately came down from there but was held Tara.
"Dear, you stay here! we can eat a plate of both."
