"Where else are you going?" asked Aisyah when she saw Nayla coming down with a mini dress that made her curves clearly visible.
"Party." answered.
"You can't go anywhere. Enough of all your wild behavior." Aisha held her hand.
"What the hell, Mom!" Nayla jerked her hand to make Aisyah stagger slightly.
"Had mother said, you can't keep going like this." Aisyah clutched her hand again.
"Mom don't start again. I've been waiting for my friends." Nayla insisted on leaving.
"Day!!! Nayla!!" he ignored his mother's screams. Nayla opened the car door and immediately drove the vehicle out of the house.
"Why else with your daughter?" sindir Panji, as Aisyah walked towards the room.
"It's none of your business!" he replied, Aisyah was not in the mood to argue with the man. "When he used to be very obedient, I don't know what changed him that way." - Aisyah. "It's all because of Sandra."
"Whatchu mean? Why do you blame him?" Aisyah always blames her daughter for Nayla's change.
"This is all his fault. If only he hadn't taken Nayla's share, maybe Nayla would've replaced you by now." Aisyah yelled at him.
"He didn't take anything. Sandra got her right. And, don't you forget, Nayla's not my real daughter. So, legally he's not gonna get anything from me." Panji was very upset.
Whenever Nayla makes trouble, Aisyah always blames Sandra. His daughter had not lived with them for a long time. Since entering college, Sandra has chosen to live alone. Now he's the one who replaced Panji to manage all the assets and the company.
"You've always defended your daughter. You know from the start he never considered me and Nayla as family. He should have shared a little with Nayla." Aisyah still does not accept.
"Aren't you the ones who never accepted it as family? Don't forget, that he's the one who's taking all your life's expenses and your lazy daughter." The pennant brought out his wheelchair from the room.
4 Years ago, Sandra decided to leave the house. Once he finished college, he started to join Panji running their family business. What's more, Sandra is the owner of half the assets that Panji owns. Sandra is now the CEO of the company.
"If I knew all this was no longer yours, I might not marry a man like you" Aisyah said slowly.

"If you have time, go find a wedding ring" Vincent said to the two of them.
"I'm busy! He's the one who left." refused Andreas.
"You can't be like that. You have to choose it together. Remember, it's the unifier of your relationship." he said.
"I don't need anything like that. After all this is just a fake marriage." Andreas' inner.
"I'm busy." Andreas remained in his stance. Vincent stared intently at him.
"It's okay, Uncle. I could bring my co-workers to match their fingers." Cleo said, Andreas turned to her.
"Who do you mean?" tanyakanya.
"Raka, I don't think your fingers are much different in size" he replied.
"Will she marry you?" Andreas stands.
"Where are you going?" ask Vincent.
"Didn't you ask us to buy a wedding ring?" Vincent turned to Cleo who was also already standing.
"All right! Choose the best ring for you." the message to Cleo. Cleo nodded.
"Why don't you buy the jewelry shop." Andreas grumbled.
"That's a great idea! You can make it a dowry." Unwilling to hear the father's ravings again, Andreas came out of the room. Cleo followed him from behind.
"Are you satisfied?" ask them when they're in the elevator.
"What's satisfied?" Cleo did not understand.
"Finally what you want is realized. We're getting married soon, even I have to follow your will to find that pointless thing." Cleo's riveted.
"If you don't want to, why force yourself?" ask Cleo.
"I don't want this fake wedding to sound here." Andreas walked out as soon as the elevator door opened.
"Cleo!!" Cleo stopped her steps when she heard Raka call out to her. Andreas arrived in the lobby first.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya after Raka arrived before her.
"Where are you going?" raka asked when she saw Cleo carrying her white coat. He did not wear a hospital uniform
"I have a little business outside" he replied.
"What's wrong?" Raka started kepo.
"A-I ..., I have to buy something." she couldn't possibly tell Raka. It just so happened that he was currently on a break, he was able to relax a bit because the patient was not so much.
"All right." said Raka.
"I walked first, not long." Cleo immediately left after obtaining permission from Raka. Because, if Cleo does not exist, then Raka will handle all her duties.
As he exited, Cleo found Andreas staring intently at him. Andreas stands in front of a black sports car.
"I ...." Cleo looked around them.
"You think I'm your driver? If you don't ride now, then you can go by taxi." Andreas got into the car and Cleo followed him. Andreas drove the car across the streets of the capital.
"Aren't you worried if anyone sees us together?" ask Cleo. Andreas did not respond to him, he was busy looking at the rearview that was outside. Aware of himself being ignored, Cleo chose to shut up and play the phone.
Andreas turned his head when he saw Cleo was smiling to herself in front of his phone.
"What are you doing?" tanyakanya.
"What?" Cleo asked without looking at him.
"Why are you smiling to yourself, like crazy." he said.
"It's none of your business!"Cleo smiled again, even this time with a small laugh. Andreas presses the brakes suddenly, causing Cleo's body to jolt forward.
"Can't you drive properly?" Cleo looked annoyed.
"We've arrived." Andreas out of the car. Cleo opened her seatbelt roughly. He was very upset with that bule guy. Without waiting for Cleo, Andreas had already entered the Mall. Cleo could only follow him from behind.

"Is there anything we can help you with, sir?" ask the jeweler they went into.
"We're looking for a wedding ring" Cleo replied as she looked at the ring on the display case.
"Can I see this one?" Cleo pointed at the ring she wanted. The clerk took the ring he pointed at and gave it to Cleo.
"Where?" Cleo tried and asked Andreas for his opinion which had been busy with his phone since.
"Whatever." she replied. Cleo put the ring back down and had the clerk show their other collections.
"Cre ....!" Andreas turned his head because he knew the owner of the voice very well. He was shocked when he saw Cantika was behind him.
"Acika!!" she said, Cleo turned to the woman she called, Cantika.
"What are you doing here?" ask Cantika.
"Hmm, I was accompanying her to choose a ring." she replied, Cantika looked at Cleo and the ring on the etalese.
"Who is this?" Cantika pointed at Cleo.
"Here, he's my friend." Cleo looked at him. "What are you doing here?" Andreas paid no heed to Cleo's dislike gaze.
"I just met Aunt Monika" replied Cantika. Andreas stared at him.
"You choose first" Andreas told Cleo. While Cantika was busy looking through the jewelry in another storefront, she gave Cleo the card in her pocket. Andreas then approached Cantika. "We need to talk!" Andreas takes Cantika out of the jewelry store.
"What are you doing?" cantika asked, Andreas looked back, Cleo no longer looked towards them. Then he invited Cantika to sit in the chair in front of the jewelry store.
"What does aunt Monika want from you?" tanyakanya.
"As usual, he wanted me not to give up on Al" he replied.
"And your answer?" Andreas curious.
"I've given up, Dre!" the answer. Andreas was surprised, as he did not expect Cantika to give up so easily. "As you say, I deserve to be happy" he continued.
"Then, what's your next plan?" tanyakanya.
"Tomorrow I'll go back to Paris." Andreas was surprised.
"Paris?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, I'll continue my modeling career there." Andreas can only smile thinly.
"I'm done!" said Cleo who had just approached them.
"I'm sorry, Cantika! But I have to go back to the hospital" he said. "Am I going to take you to the airport tomorrow?" ask Andreas.
"Of course." Cantika smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Then I'll call you." After saying that, Andreas bade Cantika.
"Who is that woman? Why didn't Andre introduce me?" Cantika still continued to watch them from a distance.
"You got the ring?" andreas asked as they were in the dilift.
"Already." he replied.
"Where?" Cleo gave the paperbag in her hand. Andreas wondered what kind of ring Cleo had chosen for him. He immediately opened the navy-colored box.
"What the fuck?" Andreas was shocked when he saw that there was only one ring of women there. "Where are mine?" tanyakanya.
"I bought a ring for myself. If you want the ring, then you have to buy it again." Cleo came out leaving Andreas still riveted.
"Tengiillll boy!!!" Andreas shouted when he saw the costs coming out of the receipt. Cleo bought the ring for 12 million from the card that Andreas had previously given her.
