Later, the same person rapes his sister. Strangely, Kromodongso does not admit to have raped Cia, although he admits to raping Donos mother and sister. Finally, Dono admits that he raped Cia, his own wife. He did that, as he cannot perform in a normal situation. Dono can only do what Kromodongso did to his mother. Cia is happy because Dono is truly a man.
