Luke has finished filling in the form of buying and selling but Jovanka has not returned. Feeling worried, Luke decides to follow Jovanka. The man smiled with relief at the sight of his wife standing near the car.
"Why so long?" luke asked as he walked over to Isrinua.
Jovanka turned her head and when Luke was standing in front of her he showed her a photo and a piece of paper containing her bio. "Is this Luke? Why do you have my old picture? And, why do you have my complete biodata? And here is also the date when you wrote it. Five years ago, did you know me long ago?" cecar Jovanka with a dirty look.
"Jov I can explain!" luke said with a stiffened face.
"Say? Have you known me for a long time?" ask Jovanka again and Luke nodded slowly.
"Then why are you hiding everything? What is your real purpose Luke?"
"I...
"Say!" yelled Jovanka with reddened eyes, for some reason she felt annoyed that Luke had been deceiving her all this time.
"I...
Five years ago...
After escaping Morgan's group, Luke returns to being an illegal immigrant. This time the goal is Indonesia, according to information from some Morga men, Indonesia became a safe place to be a hiding place.

Three months settled in Jakarta, Luke has tried all the menial work he can, ranging from building porters, porters in the market and even Luke had scavenged. Unfortunately, all the money he collected during this time was forcibly seized by the thugs, Luke refrained from resisting and let all his money go. Luke could have fought the thugs, but he didn't want to harass the locals and endanger his hideout.
Complete already suffering Luke, became an illegal immigrant, driven from the cost of not being able to pay, lost money and lives untold in the land of people. Luke's spirit of life seems lost, why would he survive if he had no one in the world. Hungry and desperate for Luke to end his life, the man walks down the highway and ends up on a long, fog-covered bridge.
Luke climbed up and stood on the bridge's pedestal. His gaze was straight down, staring at such a rushing stream. The young man looked so desperate, his face was pale and his eyes looked blank. Luke is really fed up and wants to end that suffering immediately, right now.
Luke closed his eyes and was ready to jump, but a beautiful voice stopped him, making him open his eyes and turn towards the sound.
"Today I have a birthday, do you want to come with me to blow out a candle?" ask a girl who has a voice so beautiful, as beautiful as her blue eyes and reflect light.
"Go, I'm busy!" push Luke with a lethargic voice.
"Hm, you just need to stay there. I'm tired of blowing candles myself!" said the girl while turning on the candle and stick it on the cup cake with pink cream. The girl closed her eyes and her lips paused her prayers and hopes. The girl blew out the candle and clapped her hands. "Ck, at least wish me a happy birthday!" the girl grumbled as she looked at Luke.
"Happy birthday!" luke said in a cold voice but sounded sincere.
The girl smiled. "thank you. Since you've been with me blowing out candles then I'll give you this cake. Eat this and be happy!" he said then left, before disappearing the girl turned back and shouted. "Stay alive!"
Luke stared at the girl's departure while holding the cup cake in his hand. Luke stared at the cup cake and ate it greedily, Luke chewed the cup cake with tears in his eyes and breath a mouthful. He thought his life would end on this bridge, but he had a reason to stay alive.
Yes, thanks to the girl who owns the blue eyeballs, Luke decides to live and fight again. Some days Luke stays under the bridge while raising money to rent a boarding house.
"Beautiful right?" ask one of Luke's friends.
"Hem" said Luke. "Who is he?" ask Luke, curious.
"She's a newcomer model, her name is Jovanka Janzsen!"
"You know him?" ask Luke again.
"Not really. But he often came to see the project. The boss said he was one of the models in the agency office that we are building!"
"Jovanka Janzsen" muttered Luke, pulling the corner of her lips.
While working on the project, Luke often sees Jovanka coming. The man silently watched Jovanka and felt excited whenever he saw her smile.
Luke is sad when his project ends, he has no chance to meet Jovanka again. But fate seems to bind them, after two months pass Luke again meets Jovanka in an unexpected situation. At that time Jovanka was cleaning up her belongings that were scattered on the floor, seeing the mess Luke immediately helped Jovanka pick up Jovanka's belongings.
"Thank you, yes" said Jovanka sincerely. The girl took out two pieces of money and gave them to Luke. "I'm in a hurry, thanks for your help!" after saying that Jovanka ran and disappeared in the crowd. Luke stared at the money in his hand, the man chuckled and admired Jovanka more and more. As Luke is about to leave, he accidentally finds a photo of Jovanka lying on the floor. Luke took the picture and smiled. "Thank you Jovanka!"
Jovanka couldn't hold back her tears when she heard Luke's story. But he also felt disappointed because Luke chose to keep it all this time.
"You must be happy when I go after you and beg for your love Luke?" jovanka asked with her chest up and down in harmony with her irregular breathing. She was angry, she was disappointed but she was also sad after hearing her husband's story.
"No Jov, not like that. I did like you for a long time, but I was scared and I felt unworthy of you!"
"How many times have I met you, was it all part of your plan? The first time I saw you at the Sky Bar, did you intentionally follow me? And when you were Danish's bodyguard did you meet me on purpose?"
Luke scooped his face violently. "Yes, our meeting at the Sky Bar was my plan. That time I saw you with Frey and I followed you! But for the next meeting it really wasn't part of my plan, nor did I know why we met Jov so often!" Luke confesses that he has no reason to keep everything hidden.
Jovanka gave a rough breath, she then looked back at her photo. Jovanka scrunched her forehead as she looked at the small inscription on the corner of her photo.
"JV?" jovanka Spelling. "JV?" repeating Jovanka while looking at Luke, it feels like he is no stranger to the initials. "What does JV mean?" ask Jovanka.
"JV is your initials, JoVanka!" answer Luke.
"JVS? Why do I feel familiar with these two letters?"
"JV is the author of After Darkness!"
"What?"
SERIATE...
