Banu Island, 2011 (Day of Accidents)
"Aadrian! Regina!"
Call Geraldy from afar when you see the two figures of his best friend who just came out of the elevator. Geraldy quickly walked over to Adryan and Regina.
At that time, Geraldy, Adryan and Regina had promised to meet at Banu's Resort, where Adryan and Regina stayed for a few days while on Banu island.
"Hay, Aldy! How are you doing? Long time no see, huh?" Reply Adryan. He hugged his old friend, who hadn't seen him for a reason.
After hugging Adryan, Geraldy turned to look at Regina who was standing next to Adryan. Geraldy then embraced Regina's shoulder while rubbing it a few times in a friendly manner.
"How are you, Gin? Okay?"
"of course. Where are Oiya, Shania and Nana?"
"I came back from the office straight here to see you. But I've asked them to get ready. I'll pick you up soon. And Nico?"
"Nico should be coming today. But our meeting schedule today clashed with her Study Tour schedule." This time Adryan was heard to answer.
"Well, Nana must be disappointed hahaha." Geraldy joked with laughter at the end of the sentence.
Geraldy, Adryan, Regina, and Shania have been close friends since they were both in high school. The friendship continued until they attended the same university.
Once they graduate, Geraldy and Shania who have been dating since they did KKN program finally married. While Adryan and Regina who used to date for a long time, suddenly broke up and married with their own choice of heart.
From then on, they came into contact with Regina rarely, and eventually lost contact altogether.
It was only when Regina and her husband divorced, she went back to looking for her friends and inevitably finally met Adryan, her former lover.
Geraldy and Shania who feel that Adryan and Regina still love each other, finally betrothed them to successfully marry a year later.
"It looks like I'm gonna have to take a cab to get Shania and Nana." Geraldy said as Adryan and Regina drove him to the parking lot.
"Why?" Ask Adryan.
"The car's gas is running out. He will be scared off in the middle of the road. While the distance of Pom Bensi is quite far." Geraldy.
"Yes, you used my car first." Adryan gave a solution that was immediately agreed upon by Geraldy without any premonition.
Geraldy receives Adryan's car keys and says, "thank you, Yan."
"Hurry back, huh? We're waiting."

Bimantara Danadyaksa came out of his cell escorted by two Detainees. He was then taken into a room. There, a friend was waiting for him
With both hands in handcuffs, Bima sat in front of the man who looked the same age as her. Yes, they have been friends for a long time. And the man was the only one who faithfully swiped Bima for a year he was in prison.
"I brought something for you, Bim!" Said the man. Not long after, he took out a photograph of Nico from his bag.
Bima stared at the photo for quite a while. After recognizing that the face of the boy in the photo is the face of his son, Bima immediately took it and cried afterwards.
"Alvin.." -..." Lirih Bima while sobbing. Both of his hands holding the photo seemed to tremble.
"You must miss your son a lot, don't you?"
"A year ago, I almost killed him, how can I still have the right to call him my son? Not only that, after failing to kill him, I made him the son of a murderer." Bima said calmly, but full of regret in each sentence.
"How did you get a picture of Alvin?"
"Later I found out that he was in school with my son. And they're pretty close friends."
"Our children are friends too?"
"Yes, fate is weird, right? Not only are we friends, but our children are also friends―" the man interrupted his words for a moment, "―Alvin and Rakha were close friends ever since they became students at the same school." Next later.
He's Dr. Arkha, who had been friends for a long time with Bimantara Danadyaksa.

Nana was aghast when she saw a yellow sports car parked right in front of her house. As soon as Nana stepped up, the windshield slowly came down, and poked Ian's head out of the car.
"Good morning, Classmate! Need cane?"
"Sister Ian? How can?" Said Nana who still could not believe the scene that was in front of her.
"Roving hunt! You'll be late!" Ian's Word.
Nana nodded, then opened the car door and sat down beside Ian. Nana is still in a gawking state.
"Don't tell me you want to pick up?"
"Because I didn't plan this before." Ian replied casually while remaining focused on driving.
"Yes, Brother Ian?"
"Later tonight I'll be back in Germany. 'Urusan' I'm here is done."
On one hand, there was a feeling of relief that Nana felt after knowing that Ian's 'match' was done. But on the other hand, there is a bit of disappointment to know Ian will be back in Germany tonight as well.
For almost a month in Harsa City, Ian felt closer to Nana. That closeness eventually made them get to know each other more deeply, and both feel comfortable.
Ian returned home in a state of anxiety after learning of the problems that were afflicting his family. But even so, as the firstborn in the family, Ian required himself to remain discreet and be a tranquilizer for his family. There were a lot of things stuck in Ian. Even after Mama agrees to come back with her Papa and forget all the problems that have passed, Ian still cannot feel calm over Natta's sudden cold attitude towards both parents, especially on his Papa.
Ian understood why Natta had to behave like that. Ian also did not want to force Natta to immediately accept this condition. But that's exactly what made Ian feel so heavy.
Wishing his family's circumstances could return to normal after all, Ian knew full well that it was the most selfish thing he ever wanted. On the other hand, Ian could not ignore his sister's hurt feelings.
In the midst of all that eternity, like a heartwarming destiny, Nana suddenly enters into her life, and becomes the epitome of all Ian's fear.
Behind the bitter reasons for his return, Ian felt grateful for being able to meet Nana once again.
"So this... a farewell greeting?" Ask Nana slowly.
"Hmm. You could say that."
Ian turned to look at Nana, and smiled at her.
"You're studying hard, huh? See you in Germany next year." Next later.
Nana just nodded as her answer.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Patuh Karya High School. Before getting out of Ian's car, Nana had a chance to say something.
"Sister Ian, congratulations because Ian's 'dealing' is done. Hopefully after this, everything will be fine again. And, good-bye."
"thank you. It's good to see you."
Ian stretched out his hand to shake. Nana immediately returned Ian's hand.
As Nana was about to release her hand, Ian clasped her even tighter. He looked into Nana's eyes deeply. Then gently and confidently said,
"i'll wait for you, Na..."

When about to enter the corridor, Nana accidentally met with Nico who was also about to enter the corridor. They smiled at each other before Nana finally waved her hand with a radiant face.
"August, Nico!"
With an astonished face, Nico got closer to Nana and stood before her.
"What's up? Why did you look so happy this morning?" Nico asked after catching a euphoria that was so noticeable on the face of his ex-girlfriend.
Instead of answering Nico's question, Nana just smiled with an increasingly radiant face. He then walked ahead of Nico. His steps look so light.
Nico hisses, then runs a little after Nana.
"Is it because of Ian Bang?"
The question managed to make Nana's steps stop. Now it was Nana's turn to look at Nico with an astonished look.
"Kok know?"
"It turns out to be true because of Bang Ian." Disconnect Nico.
Nico smiled in a knot and continued his steps without any guilt for just unpacking Nana's secret so easily.
"Nico, I asked you where you know from?"
"There's deeeh..." Answer Nico.
"Nico knows?" Nana hasn't given up. This time he pulled Nico's bag.
"What the hell? Don't make it!" Nico rubbed Nana's face.
What Nico did was even more upset Nana, making him intend to shake Nico's head. But before Nana's hand landed on her precious head, Nico hurriedly tiptoed so that Nana could not grab it.
Nico continued to tease Nana and ran. Nana who did not want to lose was trying to catch Nico. Without them noticing, since a while ago, it turned out that Aira was walking not far behind them.
Despite not witnessing it from the beginning.The familiarity of the two people, inexplicably caused jealousy in the heart of Aira. Although Nico and Nana had broken up, it was hard for her heart to mentor what she was witnessing right now.
'You said it yourself, you don't like seeing me laughing at Rakha. Now take a look! Who's laughing so happily at his ex-girlfriend?'
Aira murmured inwardly with an already unbearable feeling of annoyance.
