"Kenzo!" aleta said softly as she held onto her cheek which had just gotten a hard slap from Kenzo.
"You're really outrageous, Aleta! You are completely different! You're no longer the Aleta I used to know!"
"Kenzoooo." sobs Aleta, but Kenzo rushes into her car and drives to her apartment.

"Mom, can I tell Mom something?" sharen says while sitting at a mini bar with Amanda and Inara.
"What's Sharen?"
"Mama, I don't really like Aleta that much."
"Don't like Aleta? Why is Sharen? Isn't he a good boy? Do you know, she even let herself get hurt to protect mom when she almost got hit by a motorcycle."
"Mama don't be lulled by someone's kindness because we don't know how deep someone's heart is. Did you forget how Mama Ghea let herself get hit by a motorcycle to attract my attention?"
"Amanda, maybe you should consider Sharen's opinion. From now on we should be careful with Aleta, try to figure out who Aleta really is. Maybe your decision to make Aleta your personal assistant was a little rushed."
"Yes ma, right said Mama Inara, why did you carelessly decide to appoint Aleta as your personal assistant without investigating her first? She didn't even tell Mama that she turned out to be Kenzo's Junior High School friend, did she? Though he knew Mama was his parents and he also took care of the wedding preparations Kenzo and Cleo, if he did not have a veiled intention why he was not straightforward."
Amanda now appears to be thinking while frowning and biting her lower lip. Anxiety is now starting to haunt him.
"Mama I have a bad feeling about Aleta's presence in our family. It seems like she likes Kenzo, even I have seen Aleta several times looking at Cleo with a hateful look."
"really? You're not lying, are you, Sharen?"
"Yes ma, why am I lying. There's no point in me vilifying Aleta for no reason, I just don't want anything bad to happen to Kenzo and Cleo."
"Right is what Sharen Ma said." shouted a voice that was now walking towards them.
"Kenzo?" said Amanda. Inara and Sharen turned their eyes to Kenzo.
"Mama, it's true what Brother Sharen said. Aleta is not as good as you think."
"A.. What do you mean Kenzo?"
"Are you ma? I already had a bad feeling when I saw Aleta this morning, mama had to act immediately before she went any further, mama heard for herself right? If he didn't have any bad intentions for what he didn't say if he was Kenzo's friend even though mom used to call Kenzo in front of him, even without my mom's knowledge he would call Kenzo a lot, right?"
Amanda is just silent. 'I've made such a big mistake, why am I so stupid and careless in making decisions because I am overwhelmed by his kindness?'
"It's my fault, I used to pay more attention to Aleta, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this" Kenzo said.
"Give more attention? What do you mean, Kenzo?"
"Mama, do you remember a worker who died in a work accident? He is the father of Aleta. That's why I felt sorry, at that time his mother was sickly and his sister was a toddler so I often give her help, I always help her if she needs help including financing her mother's operating expenses. Even I gave him access to work for our company. I actually did all of that so that he wouldn't always rely on me, but maybe he meant more of the attention I gave him."
"But didn't you give enough compensation to your family? You shouldn't have to do any of that, Kenzo."
"The money is just enough to pay Aleta's parents' debt."
"Gosh," said Amanda, closing her mouth.
"Amanda, you better get Aleta back as soon as you give her another position in the company that you don't interact with so much that you can limit your and Aleta's relationship."
"Yes you're right too, Inara. I don't want anything bad to happen to Kenzo and Cleo's relationship because of the carelessness I've done, I need to get this done with Aleta quickly."
"Yes ma, Cleo and Aunt Vallen were out shopping, and Papa Abimana, Papa Rayhan, and Om Firman were out, for a while, it was enough for us to know how to keep Cleo and her family feeling."
"Yes, I'm gonna call Aleta and tell her to come home as soon as possible" Amanda said, taking her phone to call Aleta. But he had not had time to call suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching them.
"You don't have to bother contacting me Ms. Amanda because I'm already here" Aleta said with a wry smile.
