After a long argument Marvel immediately met Keiko. Given the photo sent by the woman, Marvel knows clearly where Keiko is. His car sped towards a bar in the city center.
Marvel entered into the view his eyes swept across every seat looking for Keiko's whereabouts.
“Keiko stop, you've been drinking a lot today!” exclaimed his friend, the four of them sat at one of the tables located at the end.
“I'm just celebrating Marvel engagement night!! Let's raise your glasses we drink until morning!” they were all drunk enough to drink a few bottles, but Keiko spent more than half the bottle empty.
“Marvel? Oooh... So there are jealous stories? Since long ago you liked each other but because of stubbornness make misunderstandings between you did not end until now. I should've been able to have a bang at the moment, base!” friend said.
Marvel was surprised to hear their conversation, and he immediately approached the table and interrupted the conversation. “What did you say?” his eyes were fixed on a woman sitting leaning on the sofa, of the four people including Keiko in the influence of alcohol but only the woman was still quite conscious.
Keiko's friend Olive is shocked to see Marvel standing across the table. Her reflexes awakened Keiko who was fainting with her head on the table. “Keiko? Kiko! Wake you! Kei!” but Keiko was no longer responding.
“Olive!” Marvel stared intently, as if waiting for an explanation.
“Uhmm. How am I supposed to say it? Come on Keeiiii banguuunn explain to Marvel yourself how you feel!!”
Brak!! Marvel hits the table, making Olive flinch. “Tell me everything what do you know about Keiko?!” he nodded with a heavy voice.
Olive gulped her saliva with great difficulty, seeing Marvel angry she finally told him everything.

Davien gasped for breath after running up to the Flower sitting on the park bench, alone enjoying the silence he felt. Recalling Davien's words made him think of how the man had lived his life all this time in solitude.
For a moment Davien silently sighed neutralizing his chest, after feeling calm he began to approach the Flower. “What are you doing here alone?”
Flowers looked up after hearing her voice. Nervous to see the existence of Davien who apparently has not gone from that place when there was no one there. “Hei... uhmm no, just being.. think of Juliet and work!”.
The man approached and sat down next to him. “You okay?”
“Ha? O.oh yes of course I'm fine!” answers staggered.
“Sorry... I also grieve” his voice is low, although it is not good Davien tried to melt the atmosphere so that Flowers do not daydream.
“Why are you apologizing? There's nothing wrong here... Marvel has made the right decision. She is struggling to get her love.”
“What? How can?” Davien was surprised to hear that.
The flower then tells her everything she knows. Davien was in disbelief but if sorted from the beginning they were friends he finally realized that the man Keiko liked was Marvel.
“Gosh! I can't believe he used me.. You're Keiko!” That's why Keiko doesn't mind as if it's okay when Davien says that he chose Flowers over her. Davien let out a long sigh, raising his head to look at the dark sky with both hands resting on the chair as it propped up his body that was slightly pushed back. “Despite that.. life will go on as it should. Yes, I believe everyone will definitely be happy!”
“You're right, everyone will definitely be happy!” The flowers then looked. “What are you doing Davien?” Flowers are curious because the look of Davien's face looks different from before. It was once a somber time now began to calm down as he felt.
“Nothing, I'm just counting the number of stars up there!”
The flower then mimicked Davien, raising his head to look at the sky with both hands supporting his body.
The deg! Davien's facial expression was transfixed, a thin smile began to slowly disappear as he felt his hand accidentally coming into contact with Flower's hand. The same thing happened with the woman, her chest was pounding nervously wanting to immediately pull her hand away but the fearful Flower later made the atmosphere awkward.
Knowing what the Flower was thinking, Davien tried to help the Flower by distracting him. “Why are you quiet? How many stars have you counted Flowers?” he said without looking, Davien kept staring up.
“Eh! Uhmm... haha” Flowers are getting awkward, but since Davien is acting calm as if nothing happened, Flowers are trying to chim in. “You're seriously asking me to count the number of stars in the sky? You want to make me dizzy?”
“Take it easy, it won't make your hair fall out until bald!” hahaha, they laughed. Davien raised his hand, the hand that had come into contact with the Flower's hand, then used it to point to the sky. Davien deliberately because he did not want the Flower to be awkward when he was on his side just because their fingers touched. “I'll start from here, okay?”
Flowers had felt relieved because Davien had pulled his hand, but then what Davien did made the Flower pounding and blushing. The man deliberately put his hand back as before but this time it was clear that Davien did it deliberately. Unmitigated Davien's palm was on top of his hand, which was originally only the tip of the finger that touched now even almost his entire hand.
The flower tried to regulate the breath controlling his chest that was pounding irregularly. His hand felt very. There was no more conversation between them. The flower began to avert its gaze, slowly looking at Davien's face from the side but when suddenly the man turned his head, it quickly turned its gaze back to the sky.
Davien knew that Bunga had stolen a look at his face. A moment of letting silence accompany them under the sky decorated with flickering stars. While Davien let his eyes stare at Flowers, it was undeniable that such a great longing was trying to heal him by satisfying his heart to stare at the pretty face before his eyes even though it was only from the side. After so many years he could finally see the woman up close.
The flower sat next to him even close enough, but Davien realized that the Flower seemed difficult to reach. “Flower?” lirih.
Davien's gaze had moved towards the lips, but he quickly turned his face when he felt his two eyeballs were starting to misbehave “It's okay. I'll go!” the man stood up from the bench. Just a few steps he turned back. His eyes were shocked when faced with the Flower who was standing staring at him with a look of sad face full of hope.
Davien felt pity, if he could he wanted to hug her tightly. He then approached standing in front of Bunga, understanding what the woman wanted but realizing Davien could not kiss her forehead. The thing Davien always did. The man smiled gently stroking his head. “Rest, I say goodbye!” Davien was still holding on there as if reluctant to leave, his body as if fixated could not move. But soon the man left the Flower with heavy steps.

On the way home, Keiko slept in the car. That night he was really drunk until not a second he woke up. Marvel is focused on looking forward but his mind can not be separated from the words of Olive who always ring in the ear.
‘Tell me everything you know about Keiko!’
‘Than, listen carefully... I will only tell you once, only once to you! You hear Marvel?’ Olive was drunk at the time, but fortunately Olive's memory was pretty good.
‘First, if you think all this time only you loved Keiko it was a mistake. Second, because long before you had feelings for her, Keiko liked you first.’
‘Baga‐,’
Shhhhhhtt!!! ‘I asked you to listen, okay. So never ask! The four of you, you, Davien, Essie and Keiko are always together. You used to be the closest person to Essie after Davien. Davien was even jealous of you because Essie always told you everything, including the disease that gnawed her body. Seeing your kindness, your attention and whatever else you gave to Essie over time made Keiko have a special feeling towards you! But once again because your closeness to Essie raises rumors that you guys are dating, Keiko plans to forget her feelings. But do you know what frustrates Keiko? Your kindness! Your kindness is so sincere to Essie that you used it on Keiko too, you treated Keiko the same way you treated Essie. She thinks you're dating.So she's trying to forget you but your kindness makes her heart even harder to let go of you. Keiko spends a lot of time with Davien just to get his mind off you. Long after Essie died Keiko always accompanied and helped Davien, comforting him to come back cheerful. It was the toughest moment for Keiko because you and Davien both lost, seeing you moody every heart just makes his heart hurt more and more. So Keiko decided to accompany Davien. After a few weeks you only realize that something is missing, even to create an empty space in your side of your heart. But you didn't realize what was missing until you finally saw Keiko's smile and laughter while comforting Davien, that's when you just understood why you could feel that way to Keiko. You secretly took a photo when he smiled, right?’
‘From mana–,’
‘Where do I know? That's definitely all I heard from Keiko! When was the day he accidentally saw the contents of the photo in your mobile gallery. And the photo when Keiko smiled was the first photo you took!’
‘But...he told me that he likes Davien! Every minute-thin-second anywhere only Davien's name is spoken on his lips!’
‘And at that moment you started to change, didn't you? Your attention to Keiko is reduced!’ Obviously, because that time Marvel met with Flowers. ‘So when he says he likes Davien..You could say that Keiko is actually using that guy to draw your attention so you acknowledge your feelings! But in fact Keiko even heard the news you approached a village girl!’
‘How about the family photo where they got together talking about the engagement plan?’
‘It was just Keiko's wits, because she was sure Davien would refuse. So it does not matter if he is desperate to hold a family meeting. It must be because he was jealous that you spent time with other women, he purposely did that so that you would dare to express your feelings, making you afraid of losing him! And the most important... Keiko wants you to change! Can tell who should receive your attention and good treatment from you because you can't treat everyone the same, it can cause misunderstandings between the people you love and those who get your attention. You should be able to tell the difference!’
Marvel looked very frustrated, his eyes looking at Keiko's face which looked very sad. In a state of fainting due to drunkenness the look on his face clearly shows what is happening with his heart. Her eyes were soaked her cheeks wet her face was so shabby.
‘Keiko really loves you a lot. Many times try to forget your face but she says her love and feelings just grow bigger. As you can see right now right in front of your eyes, what happened to Keiko... only this is the most powerful way to help his mind calm down for a moment forget you even though he realized when he woke up he would return to remember you! I don't understand why Keiko loves you so much. Even when you disappeared for so many years yesterday, she never left you at all. Almost every day I accompany Keiko to go for a drink, I purposely let her get drunk because at that time Keiko looked like a human in general laughing, babbling, angry. Unlike when he was in a conscious state, everyone saw him like an undead. Think Marvel...if you're late today, I'll make sure you regret losing a woman like Keiko who loves you so much!’
‘Yes, it's all my fault. As a man I dare not express my feelings to Keiko. I chose my feelings store because of a misunderstanding.’
‘That's because you guys aren't being honest with each other!’
‘You think it's easy to honestly confess our feelings to our loved ones while he said he liked my friend?! Even though it was a lie.. You think I would know it was a lie, if Keiko didn't tell me the truth?? Automatic I will believe the lie he told!’
‘That's the problem between you, not only you are Marvel, Keiko is too. You two are both stubborn! You guys need some quiet time sitting together talking about everything!’
After hearing all the stories, Marvel felt both sad and happy mixed in his chest. Marvel has taken the decision to no longer discuss the past and waste the opportunity. It's time he had to make Keiko happy.

“Presdir? Regarding the request of customers who ask the President specifically to intervene in the making of advertisements, does the President object? If yes, then I will contact their side to refuse keing–,”
“No need, James! It just so happens that my schedule hasn't been too busy these past few weeks. Tell them to send the concept and also–“ immediately
“Sorry President, they have sent everything, please” James put the map on the table.
Davien started reading the concept they wanted, but when he accidentally saw the face value of the money they offered for the ad project it was huge. “Maybe they wrongly offer us the price?”
“No president, I have confirmed twice that they did not typo the funds and again they say that all of this is at the direct request of Mr. Volker Valldemar.”
“Volker Vardemar? Didn't he... as I know the owner of the vineyard, and the largest farm in Paris? He also controlled all the beverage trade and owned a company, a factory that produced his own wine? Then... written here he wants a small artist to participate in shooting ads, what product is it?” Davien went to another page to find out what product the ad would be. “Susu??”
“How's the president? The child artist from our agency has already been cast all, but they said Mr. Valldemar refused.not one of them entered into the criteria.”
“Sial! Should I enlist the help of other agencies to send their child artists?!” Davien was frustrated by Mr. Valldemar's request, while pushing his body behind his hand rubbing a riled face.
