After the meeting with Casya, Nuril daydreamed a lot. Until Fathur was ignored when he asked, which made Fathur deliberately reluctant to disturb his lover for the time being. Likewise with Tirta and Casya. Tirta didn't know that Casya could be very, very beautiful and cool in his eyes. Casya turned to Tirta because she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that Tirta kept turning to her.
"Drive correctly; I don't want to die young yet," said Casya jokingly. That smile clearly made Tirta shake his head.
"Of course not. But is it true that Sky was your first love? asked Tirta again. Casya saw Tirta and seemed to think.
"Why ask that? Casya raised an eyebrow, and Tirta, who saw the reaction, chuckled.
"Just curious," said Tirta.
"I don't know; I don't feel that way, but maybe for some people it is. Casya said
"Then who was your first love? asked Tirta
"Hmm? Who is it? I don't know; I forgot his name. I also forgot what he looked like—I mean, his face. I just remember his scent. He was cute and older than me—maybe around seven or eight years older. It could be that I forgot. Casya explained
"That means it's been a long time.
"Yes, because when I was little, I ran away from home and was almost kidnapped. He said, trying to remember the past, "My past was pretty bad. He said it, shaking his head, finding it funny when they discussed the past.
But how come you remember the scent? Tirta asked
"Ah, that? Later, we will tell all about us in our story. We will make our own title; now Maudy's story is more interesting, and we are just a supporting story. It was obvious that Casya blinked, making Tirta confused.
"What do you mean? You wrote our story into a book? asked Tirta
Casya just shook her head but also nodded, "Not us, maybe someone else, inspired by the stories of the people around her perhaps, or from our story, which was enough to make her shake her head and nod like I did when it could be interesting but not good or not interesting but becoming popular. Strange, right?" Casya asked to confirm, and Tirta, who was confused, only gave a nod without knowing what Casya meant. Meanwhile, the woman just chuckled and continued her gaze out the car window, looking at the view of the city of Jakarta. He hummed, which made Tirta also smile seeing him.
Meanwhile, Maudy was getting ready; she wanted to go because Rein had just sent a message that she had arrived in Jakarta. And Maudy wants to pick up Rein. Earlier, Aunt Ira asked where she was going, so Maudy was honest. Dan offered to be Maudy's driver, but Maudy refused. He was reluctant to be a bother, until finally he went alone.
"Ira, Maudy's mother,
"Oh, yes, sis. Maudy wants to go. Have you told Miss?" asked his aunt
Her mother shook her head and said, "Not yet, but yesterday she did say that her friend was coming. Why, she was about to leave." Mama Maudy asked, and Aunt Ira nodded, "His friend is a boy, Mama Maudy asked, and Aunt Ira nodded, "His friend is a boy, ma'am?" Aunt Ira asked too, and her mother nodded.
Yes, sir, so be it. His friend is from Bandung; he lives across from the house in Bandung; he seems like an old man, but you just saw when he was there. Maudy's mother said
"Here, you prepare it yourself; Sis also wants to go and meet friends. Old friends, and also see the old house. Because Maudy's father wants to sell the house and just move to Bandung. Ratri sighed. 
Ira watched her brother-in-law and tried to probe into his mind, even though he couldn't. Her sister's thoughts were the same as Maudy's and too predictable, but one could never predict where her thoughts would go. It's just easy to guess where their minds lead them to think.
"Are you thinking about Miss Rita's family? Ira asked again, trying to probe. Actually, Ira didn't want to find out if it wasn't her sister-in-law herself who told the story. But, waiting for Ratri to tell her, she will never say anything about her worries.
"Ah, not really. But do you often meet them? Ratri asked again, and Ira shook her head. "There have been a few times, and they asked how you were doing, Ms. Rita, to be more precise, but sis..." Aunt Ira also paused her words; she seemed reluctant to say it but felt something was bothering her if she didn't say it.
"What's wrong? Just say it!" asked Ratri.
"Miss, Arga's condition isn't any better after everything that happened. She went abroad and came back like a living statue. Maybe you don't know or don't want to know because she's busy taking care of Maudy. But he's not fine either. It was clear that Ira was trying to be careful because this topic was quite sensitive between them, even though they were a family that never doubted anything.
"I know, he said, stopping talking, seeming reluctant to continue talking about this on and on.
Sorry, sis," said Ira.
"It's okay, Ir, but you can't think anywhere anymore because your mind is on what happened a few years ago, and it still resonates; it's terrible for you. Even your mas, and also Maudy, if he can remember what happened, I don't think he will be able to either, because he lost half of his memory, and you are sometimes grateful for that, and even though it sounds cruel, you don't want him to remember what happened. "How does he feel? And remembering that, his heart will be hurt again, like putting salt on a wound that has been given acid that hasn't healed, and the vinegar will leave the scar again forever," said Ratri, exhaling roughly.
Ira understands what she means; even though the loss of her husband has passed for many years, it is still felt, especially for Maudy and Ratri, who are still a few years old, and it is very clear. Surely it will be painful, to the point that it makes you want to die. Ending life is better than waiting for someone who either has hope of living or not with someone who is waiting for him like a living statue; only his life remains, but his spirit and mind are gone. travelling, even to the seventh heaven, and feeling it made Ira not want to discuss it any further.
"My sister's thoughts right now are that she only wants Maudy to be happy. And if she remembers one day, she must know why you want to cover this up and not hate you for the rest of her life. More clarity
"What if he meets Arga, sis? she asked
"It's no problem, but if you get into a relationship again, you won't be able to accept it. I don't know what will happen later, but I hope it won't be with Arga again. Ir doesn't want Maudy to be a victim because their families hate each other, Ir. He said it with a faraway look. Thinking of things to come and of things not to be expected made his mind shudder at them.
"But, sis, I hope that Arga won't put her back in danger. You know, Arga actually wanted to save Maudy by leaving my son, Ir. However, both of them were hurt, and Arga's method didn't work. And Arga's grandmother—maybe she thinks the same. It's just that I'm more angry with Arga's grandmother than Arga. Because Arga is also a victim, hating him will give relief to my heart, and being as angry as ever really helped me find my sanity again, Ir. Even though I'm angry with Arga now, it won't help anything, and hating him won't bring back anything that has happened. So, it's better to destroy that feeling of hatred if everyone gets angry, and as a mother, I'm still angry," explained Ratri again with sad eyes looking at Ira.
Yes, sis, I understand why. Oh, yes, where are you, sis?"
"There's work, but he's with a friend. He's also looking for a buyer for our house. She said
"Miss… Hmm, don't you want to just live in Jakarta? What, isn't that better?
"For now, don't be Ir. We are more comfortable in Bandung; we can take care of the garden and raise livestock, and there are many things we can do with nature. It feels good. We don't have to be crowded with other people and jostle to queue or want to go anywhere; Bandung is quite conducive, and for healing, Maudy's recovery is better there. Mentally, it will also be better. Surrounded by people he loves and who care about him. Also, the beautiful environment helps. It's not that Jakarta isn't good; it's just that it's quieter and quieter there. And it's better like this first. She said again, explaining that besides, Ratri didn't want to make Ira busy and difficult; he was going to marry off his only child, and now he would live alone again. Indeed, if they were here, Ira wouldn't feel lonely, but at least she wasn't at the moment.
Okay, sis, it's okay; don't worry about me too. You also have to take care of yourself; taking care of everyone might easily make you happy. But you can't handle everything, and you have to take care of yourself too. Don't get hurt by taking care of too many people and their feelings. Everyone's thoughts are different, sis. Ira explained again, making Ratri understand and give a nod. At least she was calm because her sisters-in-law were very reliable.
"Okay, sis, get ready first, okay?" Ratri said so and left.
After Ratri died, Ira looked at her sister-in-law's back with a look of sadness and admiration. She smiled, a smile that made her feel proud that her sister-in-law was a strong person, and it was rare to find a daughter-in-law who really loved her husband's family; usually she would take sides with her own family. Moreover, Maudy's mother was quite a tough person; they got married, and Ratri had to live with her family and live just barely.
Not far away, Maudy heard all the conversations between her mother and her aunt but couldn't do much; she knew many secrets her mother had hidden. But he never knew that he had once loved someone and sacrificed himself. It felt like her mother was never wrong, and Maudy didn't want to judge her mother for hiding this, and Maudy already understood why her mother was so careful about this. Maudy sighed and was surprised when the ringing of her cellphone interrupted all her thoughts.
Hello," Maudy said, answering the call.
Hello, Dy, where are you? It turned out to be Rein.
"I'm still at home; it's leaving. Have you arrived at the train station? Maudy asked again.
"In a minute, in half an hour, Rein said.
"Well, what time do you leave?" she asked.
"This morning, I'm four o'clock from home. It's almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Rein said too
"Hmm, it's taking a long time. But he really can do it. Well, I'll just leave now, so you won't have to wait long either. Maudy explained again and immediately ended their conversation because they had agreed.
When he was about to turn around, he was surprised when his aunt was right behind him.
"Auntie," she said in a loud voice,
"Hehe, I'm sorry. Auntie didn't overhear on purpose." She said it again, making Maudy shake her head in disbelief that her aunt was teasing her.
"Oh, auntie, don't be like that; I'll go first, auntie; tell mommy later. She said goodbye, greeted his aunt, and wanted to leave here as quickly as possible, but his aunt held him back.
"You want to pick up your friend? Boy, huh, Dy? Her aunt teased again, and Maudy just gave a nod.
"Yes, but it's not what you think; that's all, aunt. Bye,"  she said, walking away without paying attention to his aunt's nonsense words that kept teasing him.
"Right, Auntie hasn't said anything;anything; how come you said it's not what yoWhatink?think?think? WhatWha Hee you thinking about?  HeHe muttered, shaking his head, not believing the chil's thoughts and words now.
