Five years later ....
"Ruby, hurry. Aunt Nadine is coming soon!" shout Laras. Her 11-year-old princess is famous for dressing up.
"I'm done soon, Mama!" ruby shouted from the room.
"Well if until aunt Nadine comes, while you're not ready. You're Mama's staying!" threaten Laras while stepping away from his daughter's bedroom.
In the living room, everything is ready. Nalendra and little Alvaro. The four-year-old looked agitated. He walked back and forth. His body movements look funny.
"It's not ready yet, honey?" reprimand Nalendra when he saw his wife's sour face.
"I don't know your princess. I wonder, where he learned grooming, so that every go anywhere always wants to look perfect," grumbled Laras. She threw her body on the sofa right next to her husband.
"Who else if not from the tantenya, uh mama he continued," rang Nalendra.
"He's been so close to Nadine all this time" Laras said.
"Yes that. My mom is always busy every day taking care of the company."
"That's because the daddy didn't want to be served by another personal assistant" Laras replied. He doesn't want to be cornered just like that.
"I'm sorry, honey. Being a personal assistant is based on trust, not just skill. I find it hard to trust anyone but you, my dear wife." Even in the presence of his sons and daughters, Nalendra landed a gentle kiss on Laras' forehead.
Barrel smiled wryly. The man is right. They learn from experience. Laras quit her job when she gave birth to Alvaro and was replaced by someone else.
But it turned out that the man had betrayed. CNI group almost suffered a big loss. After that Laras re-entered the CNI group despite having to be smart to divide the time between the company and its children.
"I don't mind Ruby's closeness to Nadine. There is also Aurel, his sister. Nadine's background is a fashion designer, has a boutique and of course her taste is quite high. You don't know Nadine" said Nalendra.
Barrel smiled wryly. "Yes, right. Aurel has even penetrated the world of modeling, even though she is only five years old. Looks like Ruby's gonna follow in her sister's footsteps."
"Yes already. We just support. How do you want again? The important thing is that he doesn't ignore his school." Nalendra shrugged his shoulders.
As they were conversing, the little girl was already present in front of him. The girl was wearing a pink party dress complete with a small crown on her head. His face is natural.
Amazingly, such a small child could already make up for himself. For the little girl's convenience, Nadine provided Ruby with a safe and friendly set of cosmetics on children's sensitive skin.
"Daddy, Mama, I'm ready" Ruby scolded. Both his parents looked at him.
"Wuih, that's perfect! Daddy's little girl is the most beautiful!" puji Nalendra's. The man approached, giving a kiss on the princess' forehead.
"Well, now we go, yes" he asked.
"Okay, Daddy." Ruby gave a thumbs up. At first glance he glanced at his sister, Alvaro. The four-year-old toddler seemed unable to stay still even though he was in the arms of his daddy. They walked towards the porch of the house. While from the gate, a car entered the courtyard of this house.
"Aante Nadine!" ruby shouted cheerfully. The car stopped and the door opened. The figure of a beautiful woman emerged from the car in a row with a little girl who was no less beautiful. It was Aurel.

Nalendra, Laras, Nadine and a handsome man who is now her new husband. Name's Azka.
Nadine and Azka first meet in a shopping mall. Azka is a man who has been crazy about Nadine since High School.
So crazy, he carved Nadine's name in several parts of his body. The man even proposed to Nadine during her first meeting after years of separation.
It took years for Azka to convince Nadine to finally get married.
Azka is a kind and well-established man, though certainly not as rich as Nadine's father, Mr. Chandra. Despite all that, most importantly she could accept Aurel as her daughter. Nadine is more than enough.
Two units of the car continued to go hand in hand towards a star hotel. There was a thumping feeling in Laras' heart considering this moment was what he had been waiting for the most for so many years.
She had told Ruby who her father was. Laras and Nalendra are committed to telling Ruby early on, so that the little girl can understand that she and her father are doing well.
In a household, divorce is not what every couple wants, but maintaining an unhealthy household will actually have a bad effect on the child himself.
Maybe at this time it is still difficult for Ruby to understand why her father and mother had to separate. But as we get older, Laras believes Ruby will understand all of this. He with Nalendra tried to provide a simple explanation that can be accepted the thought of a child.
Baras thought, separation is a common thing, there should be no drama of this struggle, let alone to leave a grudge, because after all they are still a pair of humans who have loved each other.
The story of Laras and Galang is over even though there is still Ruby among them. Laras wants to make sure that Ruby doesn't lose anything, even though she and Galang are separated.
Precisely after the birth of Alvaro, Laras began to allow Galang to see Ruby again, although it was always Annisa who he told to accompany every meeting between Ruby and Galang.
It did not feel like they had reached the courtyard of a luxury hotel. Of the cars lined up it is clear that in that place will be held a wedding reception.
Nalendra patted Laras on the shoulder, trying to brace it, as they got out of the car.
His gaze immediately turned to Nadine. It turned out that Azka also did the same, patting his wife on the shoulder. The two women who had been Galang's past smiled faintly.
Next to them, Ruby, Aurel and Alvaro smiled happily at the crowd around them. Compared to their mother who felt her heartbeat beat faster.
The two small families started to enter the room. The room is very spacious full of beautiful decoration and all magnificent, with a view center of a large painting that is also decorated in such a way. Laras clucked in admiration. Luxury in this place is not inferior to the reception place of his wedding with Nalendra five years ago....
