Section 108

Early in the morning Caesar and Arjuna had prepared to go to the main house to meet the lord of Arya. Likewise with Evan and the babysitter mother, they will take both with them.

In the main house, Cempaka and Lucy have also prepared to return to their residence by the sea. The two long for the atmosphere of the house, and again Dinda kept calling and asking when to go home.

"Dinda still calling you?" ask Lucy while helping Cempaka clean up all the stuff.

The woman smiled as she gave a small nod to the answer to Lucy's question. A long sigh sounded from the direction of Dinda's mother, feeling bad for Cempaka who might be disturbed.

"Are you in a hurry to get back because of him?" Lucy asked again completely unwell.

"What are you saying, Lucy? None of this has anything to do with the girl. It's purely because I miss our home. Besides, I feel lonely because there's no Dinda here. Next time, I'll take him, " replied Cempaka while dropping the body on the edge of the bed after closing the suitcase.

"You know, Dinda said that Caesar was staying at the resort yesterday. Yes, it is not impossible because the family villa is close to where we live," said Cempaka while kicking his shoulders.

The movement of Lucy's hand that was cleaning the Twins' clothes stopped hearing the news.

"Does that mean he's still there?" Lucy turned, her face looking agitated.

"No. He's already here. You didn't hear me say what yesterday? He was at home waiting for Eva to return, ", Cempaka replied to a relief from Lucy's heart. He resumed the work of cleaning up all the things.

"Thank God. What are you gonna do when you meet her, Manda?" Lucy asks a prank, wanting to know what Zia and Zio's mother's answer is like.

He knew Cempaka put his heart on the married man even though it was only a contract marriage.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it, if it happens let it happen. Maybe it's fate that I have to live," replied Cempaka while stroking his son's head.

"What if he asks you to return to be his wife? For your child's sake, for example?" Lucy asked again, Cempaka was stunned to hear that.

He had not thought until that stage, not knowing what answer he would give. Cempaka does not deny that his two children need a father figure. They have never known who their father was since they were in the womb.

Cempaka sighed, a heavy question. He wants to go back and get together, but what about Eva?

"Come, Lucy. There's Eva in Caesar's life, I'm just afraid she's hurting my two children. That's it," replied Cempaka looking at the faces of the two with love.

"If you decide to go back to him, then stay here. Don't get along with that bad woman. Just leave him there. Couldn't he have set foot here other than outside the gate? You will be safe if you stay here" suggested Lucy who has opened her heart and accepted the fact that Cempaka does love Caesar.

The woman was silent, brazing a look at the faces of her two sleeping children. What Lucy said was true, but her heart was ready to accept the man back. He himself was still not completely convinced.

"I know you love her, Manda. I also saw the same love in the eyes of that man. You guys love each other. If there is a chance to live together, do not waste it. Remember your two children. Didn't you say he was a good man?" lucy turned to face Cempaka, looking at the woman intently.

Still no answer, doubts in Cempaka's heart reluctant to leave his place. Eva's evil shadow continues to linger in her memory, not to mention Lisa who is no less evil. What if they work together to harm their two children.

"I'm sure Caesar and Mr. Arya will protect you as well as your two children. I've seen for myself how Mr. Arya loves you, especially your two children. He gave this house a strict escort to you knowing only here is a safe place for you. So, I'd appreciate it if you wanted to go back to her." Lucy grabbed Cempaka's hand, grasping it gently.

"Get your love, get your happiness. Don't let you regret it later. I don't want you to be a pathetic woman living in a cage of regret. Though you don't know when it's time, but if it's time you never waste it." Lucy stared inside both Cempaka beads as she turned her head.

Convincing through touch that what is said is a seriousness that is born from the heart. Cempaka smiled, holding back Lucy's warm hand. He nodded later, hugging the woman.

"Thank you, you're so good to me, Lucy. If all that happens I want you to come live with us here. I don't want to be away from you" Cempaka asked with tears.

Lucy laughed at that, but it felt impossible because there was something she had to take care of there.

"I can't leave that place. Who will manage if I go from there" said Lucy with a heavy heart. He also did not want their place of business to be sold to others.

Cempaka wiped away the tears, and took off a hug. Her lips smiled understanding what was troubling Lucy's mind.

"That place leave it to Gilang. Let him take care of her later. You, Dinda, and your husband live with me. Marry him, I think there is a female employee who attracts his attention" said Cempaka without burden.

Lucy still isn't sure if Gilang can manage the place.

"I'm not sure about him, Manda." Lucy shook her head.

"When will it happen? We just don't know when it all happened. You can still guide Gilang to learn how to manage it. I am sure, gradually he will be able to master and should we rely on. You just have to trust her, Lucy." Cempaka squeezes Lucy's fingers, assuring the woman that her eldest child must be capable.

Lucy's gaze was still fixed on Cempaka, but she finally smiled. Nodding small and promising to make his firstborn as a reliable person.

The Twins' cries stopped the two's chatter about something that wasn't necessarily happening. Cempaka cradles one of his children, and Lucy takes the other.

Unbeknownst to them, Arya's master secretly listened. His old heart was relieved and wanted all of that to be realized immediately.

"You don't know what happened at Caesar's house, son. You'll be the only daughter-in-law in the Aryan family. Welcome to my son-in-law. Finally my prayer was answered," muttered Mr. Arya while distancing himself from Cempaka's room.

Deep down, he hoped that Caesar would come before the two women's departure. Meet, talk, tell each other her feelings, and finally unite as she wants.

"Master, I heard from master Caesar's house that they were on their way here," the butler reported like a fresh breeze blowing in his heart.

"really?" Both of Aryan master's eyes lit up brightly, the sky granting his wish.

"Yes, Sir. They were with the young master and his nanny" replied the butler confidently.

Mr. Arya was at a loss for words, only a perfect carving on the lips told how he felt at the moment. He's happy, very happy.

"My hope is fulfilled. Thank you, God."
