Sunday night.

Since noon Humaira and Aira along with Bi Mona and Bi Susi cook a lot of food, ranging from the likes of the Damrah family home and the likes of Wanda that Aira remembered long ago.

Tonight they will have dinner at the Damrah family home due to Humaira's invitation.

All the food is ready, they're waiting for the Wanda family.

A car stopped right at the fence gate of the Damrah family home, several people got out of the car. Seeing that Wanda had arrived, Aira and Humaira immediately followed to greet them.

Arnel, Agung, Ronald, and Grandpa Ari stopped stepping when they were about to welcome them. Similarly, Aira, she is surprised to see who Wanda's husband is.

Even so, Aira immediately changed her face, immediately greeted them with Humaira and asked them to go inside.

After entering the house, the Wanda family also shook hands with 4 men who were still standing rigidly because of the surprise of the arrival of 3 men who accompanied 2 women.

They sat at the table and Aira immediately served drinks, snacks and food.

"Oh yeah, know this is my son Alex and this is his cousin Selly's sister."

"This is my papa, and this is my husband" he pointed to the two men sitting between Wanda and Humaira.

Awkwardness is felt at the dining table today.

How not, Wanda's husband and son are the ones who upset Agung and Ronald. The arrival of the 2 men had taken their first job.

While Ari's grandfather felt very awkward to meet Andi, since the beating case, he had never apologized and met with Andi again.

So did Arnel, he felt awkward and I don't know what to talk about right now, very awkward. He was surprised to find out that Wanda and Andi were getting married, but they broke up.

And how could Aira be Hasan's nephew Wanda's father, but Hasan is also his papa's adopted brother. He felt very complicated with this problem, especially those hidden from his wife and papa.

Agung and Ronald had no appetite to see the faces of Alex and Andi. Especially Alex, Agung and Ronald do not like it very much.

As Humaira walked into the kitchen adding water, Agung followed her younger sister.

"Sir, why don't you tell me that aunt's family is them! you don't have to invite me to this house. Brother was upset to see the rancid young man, and why should they be a bi Wanda family anyway!"

Agung flicked Humaira's forehead.

"Did you forget, he said he wanted to help you become a spy, revenge, whatever! do not-don't adek like the same rancid young man again? Huh uh?"

"Ih! where's ada. I don't like him bang, just if you're upset right now, no brother's gonna make it, they're our family."

"I've told you the same grandfather, the reason why papa and uncle Rido are willing to give up the 5th gate project with uncle Andi and Alex is because they are more deserving," continued Aira.

"What is it worth? and we who have been trying so hard do not deserve that?" ronald who had just walked into the kitchen caught up with them.

'Huf.....' Aira inhaled a breath and blew her long.

"It's not so, but this 5th gate project is open to the public and is named after a memory, right?" Humaira says.

"Uncle Andi is the most entitled person about the memories at gate 5, about the red rose and the white rose and the painting."

"If not, Grandpa and Mama will definitely intervene, we just have to ask and find out all right bang?" humaira asked Agung.

After that Humaira forward left the two young men in the kitchen, moments later the 2 young men caught up back. They started telling stories, even though they were a little awkward.

Selly begins to make friends and chat with Humaira, Andi starts talking to Arnel in the study, while Aira and Wanda are busy in the kitchen, whatever they are doing.

Alex, Agung, Ronald, Hasan and Ari.

Not long Hasan invited Ari to play chess in the backyard accompanied by warm tea without sugar, while Hasan black coffee with a little sugar.

It was awkward, Agung ventured to talk to Alex.

"Lo likes to play games?"

"Yes,"

"If so, how about we play a legendary mobile game or free fire?"

"Ok," Alex replied briefly.

"If so, we play in my room only," asked Agung.

Ronald who was still upset would not want to follow them and play games together. They tried to accept everything, like Arnel and Ari who were awkward now they look very familiar.

Without feeling, the familiarity flowed without being asked, Ronald and Agung began to hit Alex on the shoulder, began to laugh out loud, forgetting the annoyance they had just because of a game.

In the workspace.

"Congratulations, I'm glad you finally got married to Wanda, I didn't even expect to, I thought you were married to someone else" Arnel said.

"Well, maybe because of Nel's soul mate, I didn't expect it at all."

"I'm sorry about the old me."

"Have Nel, I have long forgiven him. I just don't want you to hurt Aira, that's all I want."

"Of course, I promised myself. I'll take care of her and love her all my life, you don't worry."

"I'm glad to hear it."

"What about the 5th gate project?" ask Arnel.

"As long as this goes well, and I'm still waiting and adding, if there are any brilliant ideas from the employees, but...."

"But what?"

"It seems that Yuhen has not agreed about the painting, she still insisted and did not let it go. Although the Admaja family had taken it off and gave it away, but he still insisted. I can't do anything either."

"Let's go, if he's not ready. It's her right, she loves Yangki so much, her mayyangi. So, that's natural Ndi. We just need to understand his feelings and maybe wait until his heart lets go."

"So then, I hope so is Nel, too" replied Andi, then smiled faintly.
