Puan decided to leave the magnificent palace of Anthony's relics. He felt he had no right to live there. He left his last memories in that place.
"Where have you been, deck?"
Jaka was lucky to find Puan who was on the beach. Looking at the Beetle Island as if thinking of something.
"There is Beetle Island, our home right?"
Puan looked towards the sea, Beetle Island looks very small. He imagined Anthony being there and watching from a distance.
"Yes, deck. That's where our house is. We better get home!"
Mama didn't move one bit.
"Does Brother Jaka know that this is where Mr Anthony watches us from?"
Jaka stunned. Turns out Puan already knew where Anthony was. He can't lie anymore.
"I am still attached to him. I can see like Mr. Anthony. He is indeed watching us from this place!"
Mama took a deep breath.
"Ten years is not a minute. I can at least go see him once in a while."
Regrets always come too late. She never felt Anthony's presence even though they were not far apart.
"I felt his presence here and had time to meet him. He asked not to tell you. He said he was so happy to see you happy with the kids!"
Mom felt her eyes wet. A tear dripped down his cheek.
"I'm happy to have such beautiful and handsome children. That's why I can't feel his existence."
Jaka felt guilty. He knows how Mrs feels. Although he decided to get married, his heart still belonged to Anthony.
"Let's go home. Soon nightfall, the sea will be high!"
Jaka holds Puan's hand and invites her away. She just kept quiet and followed in her husband's footsteps.
But just a few steps, Jaka stopped. He felt Puan's fingers were very weak.
"Are you sick, Mommy? Your hands are cold!"
Jaka looked at Puan lekat. He became very worried about his wife.
Mama nodded slowly.
"You want to stay here? In Mr Anthony's house?"
Mister shook his head.
"I want to go home ...," he replied weakly.

A year later, Ratih's marriage was decided. But her future husband is a tiger demon too.
Obviously Ratih joking. He always dreamed of getting married just by Bayu.
However, Ratih had to make sure of something. If Bayu is willing to accept his circumstances, Ratih will fight for his love.
This is the right time. Reed will do his plan.
"Wait, Brother. Does Brother love me?"
Bayu. He never thought about love.
"Sorry, deck. I just think of you as a sister!"
Now it was Ratih who fell silent. Everything is clear.
"To be honest, I really love Sis Bayu. I just want to marry my sister!"
"If your parents have made up their minds, then follow through. All because for your own good."
Bayu tried as calmly as possible. Though his heart began to erratically imagine Ratih will belong to someone else.
Train to take a deep breath. He also did not want to force the feelings of Bayu.
"Maybe we won't see each other again, brother. I wanted my sister to know something!"
Train back a few steps. Slowly his nails began to display and feathers grew all over his body. Next, Ratih turned into a tiger.
Bayu was surprised. His body instantly trembled seeing the change of Ratih. He could hardly believe his own eyesight.
"You, tiger demon?"
Ratih who had turned into a tiger walked closer to Bayu. He was ready to know the attitude of Bayu to him.
Suddenly, from behind the bush appeared some people with sharp machetes.
"It's true my guess! That girl is a tiger demon. Let's go get him!" said one of them.
Bayu became anxious. They're gonna hurt Ratih.
"No! You'll have to get past me if you want to hurt him!"
Bayu immediately prepared to receive an attack.
"You're a tiger's stealth minion. So you should be arrested too. Attack her!"
Some began to attack Bayu. It was fortunate that he could martial arts and fend off attacks easily.
Ratih who is in the form of a tiger also does not remain silent. Only, all this time Ratih had never fought. A man's bullet wounded one of them.
Aaagh!!!
I heard the screams of Ratih. He also fell on the ground. Blood started to wash over his body.
Bayu was very worried to see the state of Ratih. He attacked the bad guys so they were paralyzed instantly.
Slowly, Ratih returned to human form. It's just, already in a state of unconsciousness.
Bayu. He would not let the injured Ratih be alone!!!
