The sound of spoons and forks clashing against each other. At the dinner table now there is only Bramantyo and Cindy who are enjoying dinner, because this time his daughter is not at home.
"Pa, the day after Kevin came home," Cindy said.
"Yes," Bramantyo replied briefly still continuing to eat without turning to the person who asked him to speak.
"Papa has prepared the right position for Kevin in the company."
"Not yet.."
"What!" cindy was so upset with her husband's words. "Kevin has been fighting his way out of college and until he finishes his S2 Papa there is no preparation for his return?" cindy said she had no idea about her husband.
"Let Kevin start his career from scratch, like any other employee. After all, he also has to hone his skills, in the face of the demands of work he must have adequate skills," explained Bramantyo.
"But Pa, how long would it take to start over. Does Papa know, Soraya intends to take over the assets left by Hary?"
"Papa doesn't know yet. But sooner or later the transfer rights will be transferred to Soraya."
"So, you don't mind that?" said Cindy growled.
"It belongs to Soraya—"
"Gak Pa, Papa who has struggled all this time runs the company and we take care of him to this size. It's appropriate that we have the same rights" Cindy said.
"Sir Ma, it's our duty to take care of Soraya because we are family. And we don't have any rights because Papa is just doing his job as one of the company's employees."
"Why Papa thinks so big!" said Cindy growled while slamming a spoon onto the table.
Bramantyo was seen fusing his eyebrows, The atmosphere of eating that had been calm turned tense. "What does Mama mean? Has Mama not received what Papa has given her?" he said firmly
"Yes!" he said with emphasis. "Especially Mama did not accept that Soraya got all her inheritance. Did Papa forget Kevin had the same rights?"
"Please you!" bramantyo said with a slap that landed on Cindy's cheek.
Cindy held her cheek that felt sore from her husband's slap, without saying she looked at her husband sharply and hatefully. And then after that, just leave. While Bramantyo was still silent to see his new palm first slap at his wife. A long-buried mass is brought back and causes him to lose control.

"The next few days I'm not home, take good care of yourself. And there will be a housekeeper who will accompany you here," Rudi said after eating the first mouthful of rice.
"Where?" asked Soraya who immediately looked up to look at Rudi who was sitting in front of him.
"I'm going to New York" said Rudi, who also looked at Soraya.
"Is there a job there?"
Soraya seems to think. "Well, during the wedding, I didn't meet your mama. What he lives there and why at an event as important as yesterday he did not attend," Soraya said as if asking questions.
Rudi's eyebrows shot up, his thin smile turned back. "Later I'll introduce you, if things get better."
"Does that mean he's sick?"
Rudi nodded. Soraya said, "Isn't it better for me to come with you?"
"It's not yet time" Rudi said. "Continue eating, after that rest so that your condition will recover soon" he continued.
Soraya obeyed Rudi's orders. He continued eating but his mind was still guessing, Rudi's mother was sick what exactly. To the extent of having to seek treatment and live abroad, while Rudi is a doctor and his grandfather is the owner of the hospital.
Malamannya.
"Don't ask me where you're going to sleep?" said Rudi who knows the look of Soraya's eyes that move restlessly.
The clock has shown ten o'clock at night. But after Soraya changed into sleep clothes, she just stood quietly in front of the bathroom door.
"Let me sleep outside" Soraya said, pointing to the door.
Rudi who was leaning on the bed board sniffed, closed the rough unfinished book he read then placed it on the nightstand. Continue to throw away the blanket and say, "Good!"
Soraya's lips reflexively opened but a few moments clenched back.
"I don't need to be contradicted" said Rudi again.
Soraya moved hesitantly closer and then climbed on the bed, he took a place next to Rudi then chose to lie down and pull the blanket until it covered the chest. Rudi also did the same thing to sleep lying on his back, his lips turned back because he realized Soraya who was squeezing the end of the blanket like she did not want to lose her grip.
"Customized."
"Yeah..." Soraya seemed jolted at his daydream.
"Prepare yourself until I go home later" said Rudi before turning off the headlight and replacing it with a nightlight.
Soraya frowned not understanding, What preparation, his mind. But when he wanted to ask just now Rudi lay on his back.
