Their adventure in Europe, actually started with a bad luck. Because they were late arriving at their intended transit hostel, Ikal and Arai were kicked out by Van Der Wall, the landlady of the hostel. As a result of their negligence, they have to pay in the cold below zero degrees. Through the cold snowy air, Ikal's body froze. Arai tried to save Ikal by burying it in a pile of topsoil. Arai's efforts save Ikal's dream. Ikal and Arai spent their days studying at Sorbone. Ikal takes a master's degree in economics and conspires with Manooj, Gonjales and Ninocchka, who are members of the Pathetic Four. A gang that was built because of the same destiny as citizens of developing countries, and also as students who are lagging behind in studies. Even though Arai is in a different major, Arai is also friends with this member of the pathetic four. There is another thing that worries Ikal and Arai. The news from his father mentioned that tin was decreasing and Belitung's land could not be planted. Ikal's father hoped that Ikal and Arai could become fertilizer experts and pharmacists. Because, his father thought that the major was much more useful in Belitung. But Ikal and Arai already have other dreams. Meanwhile, Katya, the girl who is the subject of competition for the men at the sorborne campus, tries to tickle Ikal's heart. Katya chose Ikal to be her boyfriend. But Ikal feels very guilty, as if he has tarnished his feelings for Aling. Katya competes to replace Aling in Ikal's heart. But what is clear, according to Arai, is that Ikal is no longer focused on studying. Evidently, Ikal's midterm exam scores were destroyed.
