The night is getting bigger. The party is over at the title. In a corner of the room that was quite quiet, Mishel and Joni were having a pretty serious conversation. Can be sure the plot of their conversation is about Mishel at the party.

"Why did you say we were dating?" Joni looked seriously, Mishel who was standing before him.

"I had no other choice, it was just you there. It's just a show anyway." Mishel changed her position to face the window, looking at the night sky that was deserted with no stars.

Joni took a long breath. "So it's just a charade, but for what?"

"This is for Luna and Adrian. I want them to be united and the first step I have to take is to stop my matchmaking with her. If you think Adrian is your best friend, just follow my way."

"Alright I agree, but this is only until they are united. Honestly, I was afraid to see Papa's face when he fainted." Joni again sighed heavily while pulling her hair back.

Mishel turned to look at Joni while extending a hand. "Okay, take it easy let's work together.

Joni grabbed Mishel's hand. Finally though it felt heavy he accepted Mishel's offer.

Elsewhere, Luna and Mother were sitting on the dining table chair while enjoying a cup of tea. Actually Luna wanted to sleep in the room but Mom asked to talk to her. Mom was seen sighing a few times as she looked at Luna's face.

"What do you want to talk to? Since then Mom just looked at me," said Luna suddenly.

"Mommy doesn't know where to start, I really don't think, how can you be in a relationship with Adrian again," said Mother and then massaged her dizzy forehead.

"For years, I've tried to forget her Mom. I do all the work that takes up my time. I thought I'd be fine after her departure but it turns out I was wrong, I still love her .. I have to how Mom," Luna said with teary eyes. He thought it was time for him to tell Mom everything.

"Luna listen to Mom well, you'll be as sorry and sick as ever. They don't need to be brought into the present. I want you to forget him son, remember your father's message dear," said Mother.

"We're fighting to be together again, Mom, I hope you'll. We are not teenagers anymore like nine years ago now you are both adults" said Luna.

"OK let's just say I understand your situation. But what about Adrian's family? You don't see how his mother looks at you, I will bless you only if Mama and Papa Adrian also approve and apologize for what they have done to our family in the past" said Mother then stepped away leaving Luna alone.

Luna covered her face with both hands. He still does not understand, how he can make Adrian's parents obey all the requests of Mother, at this time he only hopes Adrian can persuade his parents. If not, he'd better back out from now on.

Dreettt.

His phone suddenly rang an incoming call sign. He stared at his phone screen and it turned out to be a phone call from Adrian.

"Yes, why?"

[I'm in the park, come down for a while I want to talk.]

Arriving at the park in the apartment building area. Luna let out a long sigh as she saw Adrian sitting on a garden chair not far from where he was standing. She quickly approached her ex-husband.

"It's ten o'clock at night, why take me out" said Luna when she arrived in front of Adrian.

Seeing the arrival of Luna, Adrian stood up from his seat and immediately hugged Luna. The struggle had just begun and he had the strength only in Luna, although it felt heavy but he was sure he could get through it all and get the blessing back.

"I just want to hug you, I hope you will not falter because of Mama's words," said Adrian who still hugged Luna.

Luna moved her hand, patting Adrian's back slowly. "Yes, I wouldn't have wavered .. If in the end we weren't meant to be together, I'd have mentally prepared me for that."

Adrian let go of his embrace and immediately looked at Luna seriously. "Don't ever think this isn't going to work. Trust me, no matter what happens, we'll stick together. Whether or not there is blessing from them."

"Why are you talking like that? I only come back to you if both of our parents approve. Don't you learn from past experiences, try to think realistically, happiness will only be ours if they are lost."

"Bu-not that I mean, I just-"

"Stop! I need time alone now, I'm not angry but my feelings and thoughts are chaotic, come in it's night," said Luna then stepped away leaving Adrian alone.

Adrian can't do anything. He realizes he is wrong and starts to act selfish but he is really afraid that Luna will go away from him again.

Arriving in the room Luna took off her jacket, closed the door and sat leaning on the edge of the bed. If there is a chance he wants to talk to his former father-in-law, he wants to ask what exactly is lacking in him that he must improve.

Her tears flowed back when she thought hard but found no answer. As if back in time, he felt back to the figure of his old self, so naive and could only lament the situation.

Adrian returns to his apartment unit. He sits limp on the living room couch and is approached by Joni.

"How, have you met Luna?"

"Here but he misunderstood me because of my words ..why does it have to be like this, damn it!"

"Please, Luna must also be thinking a lot. Let him alone first to keep his mind at ease."

"Yes, you're right."

Aaaackkkk!!!

Suddenly there was a scream. Joni and Adrian turned to the door of Mama's room when they heard a scream. Without wasting any time they went to the room.

Arriving inside, Adrian turned to the left right and did not find the mother. He immediately stepped into the bathroom.

"Ma.mama inside," called Adrian who was starting to look panicked.

"I'm sure your mom is inside, we better break the door down" Joni said.

Without further ado Adrian and Joni begin to break down the bathroom door. After several tries, the door finally opened, Adrian and Joni were very shocked when they saw Mama lying unconscious on the bathroom floor with her head covered in blood.
