Dara has told everything to his father and mother. Although Damian initially felt furious, wanted to directly hit the Kusuma family. But Dara managed to prevent that from happening by telling her about the Eagle.
All the kindness of the man was told by Dara. It was not a lie but an honest word as it was about the Eagle. The man was indeed very good and could even be said to be like a helper angel for Dara.
"But this isn't fair to the boy, Neng," said Elis beside Dara who still hasn't stopped crying.
"You don't cry Dara. Shrieky. Pity your baby," Damian said immediately to make Dara stunned, she creeped. It turned out that her papa was still thinking about the baby in her womb. A baby that Dara did not expect her presence in her womb.
"Well, you're right, Neng. Papah Sama Mamah will love you, as well as the child in your womb." Elis hugged his daughter. Dara was getting sobbing plus tight feeling the embrace of Elis who was usually warm, now feels bitter because he felt embarrassed.
"Sorry Dara, Mah. Dara does not deserve to be loved by mama and papah."
"Don't say that. You don't want this to happen. Mamah and Papah believe you are a good boy, you are not a bad boy let alone cheap. Don't think that's it."
Damian, who was just sitting away from his daughter, immediately went to Dara who was in his wife's arms. "Sorry Papah, son."
Dara's crying broke. This time he embarrassed his parents. Dara is an accomplished girl, she is also a famous girl who is innocent and never makes trouble.
His encounter with Thunder was not on purpose. Thunder saved Dara who was about to be intercepted by thugs around the Dara boarding house. That was when Dara felt someone care for her. Moreover Thunder was very kind, courteous and also gentle to him. The two chatted and became friends. After six months, they both decided to. It was then that Dara felt her life grow happier with the presence of Thunder Sebastian.
"I'm sorry papah, Dara. Papah should not let you take a scholarship in Jakarta. Papah also should not allow you to ngekost even though there is Nessy tea. You are still fully responsible papah, but papah can not take care of you properly," Damian said with his tears that eventually spilled while hugging his daughter and wife.
"It's not papah's fault. It's Dara's fault, Pah. Dara shouldn't have dated first. It's all Dara's fault." Still Dara felt it was entirely her fault. It is not the fault of his parents.
Elis and Damian love him very much, although far apart but they always contact Dara with routine. Even on holidays Elis and Damian always pick up his daughter to return to Bandung.
"Already, Neng. Now the most important thing is you. You must accept an offer called Eagle. Although it was not his fault, it was not fair to him. But after Mamah thought again, this is all Thunder's fault, their family could not hands off. True said Eagle, if you do not marry him, people will judge you bad," concluded Elis.
"You're right, son. You still have to get married. Let Papah talk to their families." Damian confirmed his opinion. Dara just kept quiet, she didn't know what else to say. It was up to the Eagle, whether the man still wanted to marry her, or perhaps he had changed his mind because of his words earlier when the Eagle drove her home from her college reunion party.

"Good morning."
Dara was shocked when she opened the door. It turned out that the Eagle who had come and was already standing in front of him brought along his parents. Who else if not the Eagle's parents, thought Dara. He was shocked and nervous why the Eagle did not say first.
"Eagle's Sister. What are you going to do here?" ask Dara plain.
Shortly after, Elis and Damian emerge from behind Dara.
"Who, Son?" ask Damian.
The two people next to the Eagle only put on a huffed look while staring at the uneasy situation around him. As if not accustomed to being in a narrow and seedy place if in their opinion. Though the Dara boarding house is fairly clean and neat for ordinary people.
"Good morning, Om and Auntie. Must be Dara's parents, huh? Introduce me-"
"Go in, son." Damian smiles.
"Yes, come in." Elis chimed in.
"Thank you" said the Eagle.
Kusuma and Rania are still standing where they do not want to enter the Dara boarding house.
"Ma, Mum. Enter," asked the Eagle while hinting that his parents would not cause trouble. They certainly had a deal before coming to that place.
"Mama and Papa wait in the car. Is it enough, not narrow if mom and dad go in?" sahut Rania's.
Dara lowered her head when she heard that while Dara's parents were tidying up her makeshift chair at the minimalist Dara boarding house.
"I'm sorry, Sir, Mom." Dara lowered her head not daring to stare at the Thunder old man's face.
"Ma, Mum. Eagles do not like. We had a deal, right?" said Elang slowly while emphasizing to both parents.
"Yes yes" said Rania. While Kusuma was silent, not interested in answering.
They finally entered a small room measuring about 3x3 meters.
"I'm sorry it's like this. I didn't know that the Eagle's parents were coming. My husband and I also just came from Bandung to visit Dara" said Elis.
Damian just kept holding his daughter's hand with a sharp look towards Kusuma. Just looking at him Damian seemed to be able to read the man's arrogance. He would not let anyone downplay his daughter, his proud daughter.
"Tante already knows my name?" ask Eagle.
"The two that tell, Brother." Dara.
"Oh that's it." The eagle just nodded.
"Yes. I'm Damian, Dara's papa." The crossbred man whose handsome face was looking into Kusuma's eyes. That made Kusuma quite depressed. Will he sue? That's what's on Kusuma's mind right now.
Rania looked Damian in the eyes, she wanted to smile at Damian's handsome face. But as much as possible he did not want to look striking that he admired the physical appearance of the papah Dara.
"Look at Om, Aunt. Dara told you everything? Chronology about Thunder?" the Eagle asked as he looked at the fierce gaze between Damian and Kusuma.
"It." Damian responded briefly while staring at the Eagle. But somehow Damian's way of looking at the Eagle was different when Damian looked at Kusuma. Damian was kind of sympathetic to the Eagle.
"Good, Om. I really intend. Wanted to marry Om's son and Aunt." The eagle looked very relaxed saying it.
Elis had rubbed Dara's shoulder just bowed. Rania looked at the girl in front of her. Dara looks quiet and innocent. In his heart he felt unbearable too. But if you obey her prestige, Rania feels Dara does not deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the Kusuma family. Very substandard.
"I know this isn't Eagle's fault. But, as Thunder parents. I only demand responsibility from my father and mother's family towards my daughter. My son is so innocent, he doesn't want to be like this. I hope this can be completed in a family manner. If I can't, I'll take the law. My son, Dara has strong evidence when Thunder did it under the influence of alcohol. I can take this to the police if you and your mom want to try to get out of hand" Damian said. Instantly Kusuma and Rania straightened up.
"Don't bring the law. If not, it's complicated. I know your circumstances are not as good as those for taking the legal path that everything can be done easily using money." Again Kusuma always uses the word "money".
"Pa. Let the Eagle talk to Dara's parents" said the Eagle, who was upset by his own father's actions.
"I'm sorry, Papa, Om."
"It's okay. I am not as rich as Mr. Kusuma and Ms. Rania. Who does not know the wealth of Father and Mother. But, do not underestimate people from the outer skin only. I'm Damian Alexander. Never would I let anyone insult my daughter."
Damian's words silenced Kusuma and Rania. Seeing Damian's stern and bold look and words made Kusuma think twice. Could it be that this Damian is not an ordinary person?
"I'm sorry if my Papa's words offend. I personally never distinguish anyone. I sincerely want to take responsibility on behalf of my brother who is still lying in a coma in the hospital." The eagle tried to explain that the Dara family did not misunderstand the arrogant attitude of his father.
"I'm not going to run away. I will take responsibility" Kusuma said.
"Yes, the Kusuma family will take responsibility for your daughter" added Rania.
"Thank God." Elis expressed his relief. "My son's a victim."
"But I have the conditions that must be agreed by Mr. Damian's daughter" said Kusuma.
"Condition?" damian Sahut.
"Look, Om. My father and I agreed that Dara would stay at the Kusuma family home after marriage. Then, after the child in Dara's womb is born, I will divorce Dara. But regarding responsibility, the Kusuma family will be responsible for the children of Dara and Guntur, at any time" said Elang.
Damian and Elis took a deep breath at the same time. Although he did not want this to happen to his daughter but it was all done. There is no other choice but to agree.
"Then what about Thunder?" ask Damian.
"Thunder is unconscious" replied Rania.
"Regarding Thunder, if my brother is conscious. I made sure my brother would marry Dara soon. Only it was somewhat impossible to see the state of Thunder being severe enough." Clear Eagle.
Dara feels claustrophobic. He missed Thunder, his lover. But, the Eagle's words seemed to bury deeply in his hope of being able to see his lover recover and wake up from his coma. Is he unable to meet Thunder anymore?
"alright. My wife and I agreed. As long as the Kusuma family is not free from responsibility," Damian said.
"Well, if everyone has agreed. Then I will take care of their wedding soon" said Rania.
"Yes, the sooner the better." This time I looked different. He looks enthusiastic to marry Eagle and Dara. Though before he seemed to not care about Dara.
"Bara. After your child is born. You don't mind if our family takes care of the kid?" kusuma.
Eagle jerks. Since when was Kusuma interested in the child in the womb Dara. Yesterday his father did not want to acknowledge the boy as his grandson. Then now why does the papa even want to take over Dara's son?
"I mean Father?" dara asked not understanding.
"I'd like to after you've divorced the Eagle. The boy stayed with the Kusuma family. While you can move on with your life, without having to think about the child."
Damian raised next to his eyebrows. Then take over the conversation. "Do you mean, the Kusuma family wants to separate Dara from her child?"
Elis who realized that her husband began to be provoked by emotions, as soon as possible to calm her husband. "That. Patience,"
"Because doesn't matter."
Everything was silent including the Eagle who was mixed in shock at Dara's words.
"They don't mind being separated from this kid."
