Morning came too. She woke up when she heard the sound of a bird perched on an open window. Apparently, Puan has woken up. It must have been Nara's mother who opened the window.
He rushed down from his bed and approached the bird.
"Good morning, pretty bird. I woke up bad luck. I think I slept too well last night!" said Puan while extending a hand. The bird seemed to understand and perched on Puan's finger.
"Sorry, I don't have any food for you. Go, look somewhere else!" continued Puan as soon as the bird pecked his fingers.
The bird flew out of nowhere. She could only look at him while taking a deep breath. His heart felt very light. Looks like Dara's done everything, including with Alex.
Unknowingly, Mum touched his neck. A necklace is already there. Mom realized, Alex had found the necklace. But he gave it to Dara, not to her.
"Good morning, Queen Puan. This is the Queen's breakfast" said Nara, who appeared with a tray of porridge and a glass of tea.
Puan looked at the clingy Nara. He wants to say something. "I'm sorry, I woke up late. Please don't call me that, Mother Nara. Instead, keep calling me by your son's name even if it's just the two of us!" pinta Puan's.
Nara stunned. Actually, Mama often reminds him. However, he was too shy to say it.
"Sorry, I'm not used to it. Okay, Dara. Eat your breakfast!"
Puan smiled and hugged Nara, "nah, so dong! I'm also your son, ma'am," said Puan as he groaned spoiled.
Nara is still stiff. She always thought that Puan was not her daughter, but her great-grandmother. Maybe that's what makes Nara so sad.
"From today on, I'll be more relaxed. Although there's a lot to do, but I want to be like Dara. He can always carry himself despite being in any situation. I'm glad to be your daughter, ma'am ...."
Again, Puan hugged Nara. It made Nara feel her sadness less. He was smiling too. It was time to let go of her daughter.
Elsewhere, Alex stared at the receding sea. The waves were no longer as strong as last night. If Dara was still around, she would definitely run to the beach. He put his foot on the water and drowned it in the sand.
Yesterday's meeting was too short. Although Alex had already expressed feelings but still felt something was stuck in his heart.
"Good morning, old man!" Mama appeared with a big smile.
Alex is stunned to think that in front of him is Dara.
"Why look at me like that, sir. Comeon! I want to enjoy the morning sun on the beach!" said Puan who immediately pulled Alex's hand.
Alex is still silent. She did not understand why Puan was acting like Dara.
She drowned her feet in the sand. He's doing Dara's habit.
"From today on, I'll be Dara. So, don't call me mrs again, mister!" chirps.
"Aging," call Alex who doesn't understand all of Puan's behavior.
She stopped and looked at Alex, "I told you, don't call that name anymore. Call me Dara!" obviously Mama.
"What's wrong with you? Why is it like this?" ask Alex who is confused.
Mama just smiled. She is ready to live her life as Dara.
"What's up, sir? Don't you like me being Dara?"
Alex shook his head, "no, not like that. I don't know what you're thinking because it's so sudden!"
"Yes, sir. From now on, I'll be Dara. Until everything is done as soon as possible" explained Puan.
Alex understood it. It seems like Puan is jealous of Dara. Alex could not say anything. He also cannot explain about his heart that still loves Puan and loves Dara.

Nara watches Alex and Puan from afar. His attitude has been very different since he woke up from his sleep. As a woman, Nara was a little confused by what Puan thought.
"I don't know why you're such a hustler and a hustler like this, Nara!"
Again, a Diva appeared who directly hugged him from behind.
The chuckling Diva saw his wife go berserk like that, "what the hell did you see so seriously?" ask Diva curiously. He also looked out the window. From there, he sees Mr. Alex and Queen Puan being alone by the beach.
"Ooh, speedily. You're dating someone again, aren't you?" chirps.
Nara pouted. Diva always teases him.
"The Queen is very strange. Since waking up this morning, he wanted to be called Dara alone. I had to obey him. It's strange! What's he thinking, huh?" obviously Nara while continuing to look out the window.
"You don't know, anyway? The queen is jealous of your daughter. She wanted to be called Dara to be like him!" chirps Diva.
Nara was stunned, "jealous? Queen Puan's time can be jealous?"
Diva laughs again, "obviously can dong, darling. Queen Puan is also human despite being a tiger demon. Unknowingly, she wanted to become Dara in order to get the same treatment especially from Mr. Alex. Looks like Queen Puan knows that Mr. Alex loves your daughter!" obviously Diva is long.
Nara even kliyengan heard the diva explanation. She just found out that Alex's doctor loves her daughter too.
"Did Alex really love Dara?" tanyanya.
"Well, you are less sensitive. Of course it seems obvious that doctor Alex loves Dara!"
Nara stunned. She doesn't know that Alex's doctor has feelings for Dara. But Nara was worried about it. It was only fitting for Queen Puan to be like that.
"Are you so shocked you can't speak?" Diva was astonished by the attitude of his wife who became quiet.
"I'm just worried and afraid that Queen Puan hates Dara because Alex's doctor likes her" replied Nara.
Diva realizes Nara's worries, "settle down! Queen Puan was only fighting against herself. After this everything will return to how it was," said Diva while holding Nara's hand tightly.

Saka felt astonished because the atmosphere at the police station where he was on duty was a little boisterous. They whispered to each other with serious faces.
"What the hell is that? Why is the office so serious?" asked Saka while sitting next to his partner. He put a tray full of lunch on the table.
"There was a terrible incident in prison last night. Don't you know?" ask a colleague of Saka's in the police. Name Pramudya.
Saka did not know what his partner meant, "know what? I didn't hear anything last night, Pram!" the answer.
Pram approached Saka and began whispering, "there's another murder, and he's in jail. A prisoner was found dead. His body was terrifying without a single drop of blood. But strangely the body disappeared!" her story.
"Disappeared? Who has seen the body of the prisoner?" asked Saka who was starting to be curious.
"Her eyes were thrown into the forest and eaten by tigers. I just found out there's still a tiger here. Didn't all the tigers on this island perish?" obviously Pram with a face full of mystery.
"How did all the tigers perish? Wasn't the first inhabitant of this island a tiger?" Saka was getting curious.
Pram looked to his right and left like he didn't want anyone to hear him.
"There used to be a massive tiger slaughter carried out by the city council leader. His name is Mr. Iskandar!"
Saka stunned. It turns out that many know about the event. Saka just wanted to know the truth of the news.
"Why didn't the police investigate the massacre?"
Pram shook his head, "that's what I don't understand. Looks like the police are silent. He said there's an insider working with Mr. Iskandar to close the case!"
Pram sipped his coffee briefly, "actually, Mr. Iskandar not only killed animals. But it also killed some of the natives. He said they were tiger demons! Actually, it's just camouflage. Mr. Iskandar did it to master their possessions!" continued again.
Saka grew curious, "so Mr. Iskandar who became the mastermind of all that. It could be the case right now!" guess Saka.
Pram was silent while mangosteen, "could be. But the case cannot be finished. You know! We can't do anything!"
Eventually, Saka also became quiet. He chose to continue eating. But, his head was filled about the figure of Mr. Iskandar. A very ambitious and ruthless figure.
