Berli pinched the base of his nose. He's so confused right now. Berli like eating fruit simalakama. On one side was his papa and on the other side was Jo. Alex who saw the look on his wife's confused face immediately asked.
"Honey .. Why are you?"
Berli. "Hah .. papa was here. Papa wants to match Jo to his friend's son."
"Then ... Why are you dizzy?"
"Papa .. told me to persuade Jo to get engaged next week. You know for yourself, if Jo already has a lover," said Berli.
Alex nodded in understanding. "Just talk, Jo. Just get your sister married by papa's choice and cut off her relationship with Jessica."
Alex only knows Jo's girlfriend's name is Jessica but she has never met. Berli who heard Alex's words chuckled was upset. Alex talks like a speech. He seemed to not understand the turmoil of Berli's heart.
Alex patted his wife's back. "Dear, don't think about it. Just talk to Jo first."
Alex's hands have been everywhere. Berli is getting upset, if this is the case then they will exercise.
"Alex ... Your hand, keep it away from me" said Berli.
Alex does not comment on Berli's words. He just did the action. Their son is asleep. Alex will do it until morning. Berli only resigned to the behavior of his husband.

Berli had prepared to leave for Jo's office. Today he will try to talk to his sister. Berli drove his car to the Wijaya corp office building.
Arriving at the office, Berli just went into the elevator to Jo's room. Berli just went in without knocking on the door first. Jo is shocked by the sudden arrival of her brother.
"Sir .. tumben, don't call first."
Berli just sat down on the sofa. "Jo .. There's something you want to talk about."
Jo followed Berli sitting on the sofa. "Is there anything important?"
Berli. "Yes ...."
Berli took his breath. He was so nervous to start the conversation. Jo is still waiting for her brother to talk. Berli looked at Jo, it felt like he was not strong enough to convey this.
Jo noticed Berli's nervous face. Unlike usual, his brother behaved like that. Jo stared probing.
"Why silence?" Jo was a little upset, Berli just kept quiet. "Tell me, what's your problem?"
"It's about you" Berli said.
Jo's forehead is wrinkled. "What's wrong, me?"
"Papa .. wants you to get engaged next week."
Berli breathed a sigh of relief. Finally those words were spoken as well. Jo mendelik will tell Berli. That means, her papa will actually match her to Hera.
Jo sighs. "Papa ... is really serious about setting me up with Hera."
Berli frowned, it felt like he had heard that name. Jo once told me about an ex-lover who humiliated her.
"Hera ... is Hera your ex who was betrothed to papa?"
Jo nodded. "Yes .. that woman you're marrying me to."
"Koq can?" ask Berli.
Jo then told Berli everything. Their parents meet and have dinner with Hera. Berli nodded in understanding. Hera is a Doctor. Unfortunately, his father really wanted Jo to marry Hera. His father wanted to have a doctor's daughter-in-law.
"Jo ... So how? 'do you want to get engaged?" ask Berli.
Berli understands Jo's situation. His father cannot be denied. "Jo .. Sorry, I can't help you. You try to talk to Mama."
"Have .. I will accept this match. Papa will be mad at you if I refuse. Papa will blame the mama who continues to spoil me," said Jo.
"Then Jessica, how about?"
Jo is twitching his shoulders. "I don't know, I'll think about it later."
"Come here" said Berli.
Jo approached Berli and hugged him. Berli kissed Jo's cheek on his sister's affectionate sign. "You are patient. Love will come in time. Forget Jo's past."
Hera .. This is all because of you. The warning of that time did not deter you. I will make you suffer, inward Jo.
Jo took off her brother's embrace and displayed a happy smile. Jo's gonna make the calculations on Hera tonight. Jo warned Hera to stay away from her family.
But now, he's getting engaged. Hera is already intense to be Jo's wife. After delivering a message from his father about the engagement, Berli said goodbye to Jo.

Jo arrived at his residence mansion. His return was already awaited by Mr. Wijaya. Jo just rolled a lazy eye. Surely the papa will discuss the issue of engagement Berli conveyed.
"Jo .. has your sister told you anything?" ask Mr. Wijaya.
Jo pulled the corner of her lips to smile. Although in his heart was upset about the attitude of his father. "It's .. I agreed to get engaged."
How happy Lord Wijaya is to hear Jo's words. His son agreed to the plan he made. Mama Rita who happened to hear that stared pity at her son. Mama Rita knows Jo must have.
Jo went into his room. Jo sighed and threw her body on the bed. Mama Rita catches up with Jo who enters the room. He knocked on Jo's room door.
Tok .. tok .. tok ... !
"Jo .. Can you come in?"
"Just go in, Ma," said Jo.
Mama Rita goes into Jo's room. He sat down next to Jo who was lying down. Jo just put his head in the lap of the mother. Mama Rita rubbed the top of Jo's head gently.
"Honey .. are you sure you're going to do this engagement?"
"What can you argue, can't you?"
True what Jo said, her husband can not be denied. It's free if Jo refuses. At the end of the day, Jo will still be married by her husband's choice.
"Ma .. elus my head. I want to sleep" said Jo.
"Sleep, Mama will stroke your head until you fall asleep" said Mama Rita.
Mama Rita stroked Jo's head. Not long after Jo starts closing her eyes and falling asleep. Mama Rita moves Jo's head onto the pillow. Don't forget he landed a kiss on Jo's forehead. After that Mama Rita came out and closed the door to Jo's room.

Notation
The story of Jo and Hera, Author recreated in season 2. The author makes an initial introduction between the two of them. Maybe in season one someone said that Jo and Hera already know. The author accidentally entered Hera in part season 1 but the part was only a little. The term Author only introduces the character Hera as the former of Jo. So when season 2 is made you are not confused who is Hera anymore.
So Jo and Hera's story is completely new. The other characters also do not know who Hera is.
If you ask why it wasn't in a new novel. The reason is because the story is almost similar that both are forced to marry ex.
