Daniel and Karima walk into Daniel's room. As they were about to enter Daniel's study, Mr. Dandi walked out of his study.
“Daniel, you just came?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Iya, Pah. Last to the office of South Tangerang first,” replied Daniel.
Daniel opened the door to his study. They went into Daniel's study.
“Sit first, Ms. Karima!” said Daniel. Karima and Mr. Dandi sat on the sofa. Daniel was in his chair.
“Papa want to drink what?” ask Daniel.
“No Need. Earlier Papa had coffee,” replied Mr. Dandi.
“Bu Karima want to drink what?” ask Daniel.
“I water only. Let me grab a drink myself,” Karima replied.
Karima walked towards the pantry in Daniel's room. He took a glass from the pantry and filled the mineral water from the dispenser. Then he put the glass on the table. Karima sat back.
“I heard your ex-husband died. My wife and I are very sorry,” said Mr. Dandi.
“Thank you, Sir,” Karima replied.
“Pity of your children must have lost their papa,” said Mr. Dandi.
“Iya, Sir. When they heard their father died, they were sad. But now they are common again. Maybe because they rarely meet their papa,” Karima said.
“Say Daniel your ex-husband was murdered. Is that right?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Iya, Sir,” Karima replied.
“The killer has been caught?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Already, Sir. The hit man and the man who told to kill him have been caught, ” Karima replied.
“Who told you to kill?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Former girlfriend Bang Yarfin,” replied Karima.
“Oh, she has a boyfriend?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Karima divorced with Bung Yarfin because Bung Yarfin had a girlfriend,” said Daniel.
Mr. Dandi and Karima pointed at Daniel but Daniel instead focused on the document in front of him.
“After signing the document where are you going?” ask Mr. Dandi.
Daniel raised his head and looked towards Mr. Dandi.
“Daniel wants lunch at the same hotel Karima,” replied Daniel.
“Yah. If Papa comes along means bothering you, dong?” ask Mr. Dandi.
“Iya, Pa,” replied Daniel.
“Papa lunch at home just the same Mother. Or if you don't have lunch at Adrian's office,” Daniel said as he read the document.
“Ngak, ah. Papa wants to eat at Mia's house. Want to play with Safina,” said Mr. Dandi.
“Do not, Pa! Safina is taking a nap again. Later Mia was angry that Papa disturbed Safina,” said Daniel.
“Let Mia be angry. Papa wants to play with grandson,” replied Mr. Dandi.
Mr. Dandi got off the couch.
“Karima, I go first. Want to play with grandson,” said Mr. Dandi.
“iya, Sir,” Karima replied.
Mr. Dandi turned to Daniel.
“Daniel. Papa go first, yes,” said Mr. Dandi.
“Iya, Pa,” replied Daniel.
“Assalamualaikum,” said Mr. Dandi. Mr. Dandi opened the door and walked out of Daniel's study.
“Waalaikumsalam,” Karima and Daniel replied. Daniel continued his work.
At half-twelfth Daniel finished signing the documents.
“Ayo kita pergi sekarang,” ujar Daniel.
Daniel carried a stack of maps containing documents he had signed. Karima approached Daniel.
“No need! Please just open the door,” replied Daniel.
Karima walked to the door and opened the door. Daniel took the map out and put it on Lisa's desk.
“Everything I signed,” Daniel told Lisa.
“Iya, Sir,” Lisa replied.
“Come, Ms. Karima. We go now,” Daniel said.
They also walked out of the office.

Mr. Min stopped the car in front of the luxury hotel lobby which is still in the Kuningan area. A bellboy opens the door for Karima. Karima and Daniel get out of the car. They entered the hotel lobby. Daniel took Karima to one of the restaurants in the hotel.
When they got to the restaurant one of the restaurant employees approached them.
“Have you reserved?” ask the employee.
“Not yet,” replied Daniel.
“Mari, Sir. I helped find an empty table,” said the employee.
Daniel and Karima followed the employee. The employee took them to a table in the corner of the room. The employee pulled out a chair for Karima and Daniel. They sit in that chair. Another employee gave a menu book to Daniel and Karima.
Karima opens the menu book. He was confused about what to order. Daniel recommends good food at the restaurant. Finally Karima ordered the food recommended by Daniel. Daniel ordered the same meal.
After the restaurant employee left, Daniel looked at Karima's face.
“So what's the answer?” ask Daniel directly.
He could not wait to find out Karima's answer. Karima took a deep breath and exhaled slowly so that he felt calm.
“I received an application from Mr. Daniel.” Karima replied while looking down.
“Alhamdullilah,” says Daniel.
Daniel was pleased to hear Karima's reply. Then he reached into the pocket suit, he took something from inside the pocket suit.
“This is for Ms. Karima.” Daniel put a small box on the table.
“What is this, Sir?” ask Karima.
“Open, later also I know what it is,” replied Daniel.
Karima took the box and opened it. Inside the box was a diamond ring tied in white gold.
“The ring is as a sign that Ms. Karima has received my application,” said Daniel.
Karima took the ring out of the box and wore it on her ring finger. The ring fits on Karima's ring finger.
“How to fit not?” ask Daniel.
“Pas.” Karima showed a ring around her ring finger.
“Kok can fit? How to measure it?” ask Karima.
“I know my woman's finger size,” replied Daniel.
Karima frowned at the sign of not understanding.
“Every day I meet with Ms. Karima. So I have memorized the size of the finger of Mother Karima,” replied Daniel.
“Pak Daniel, can you not call me as Ms Karima?” ask Karima.
“Then what do you want to call? Dear?” Daniel asked back.
Karima glared at Daniel's question.
“Call me Karima only. Don't use Mom or Mom. I'm just Mr. Daniel's secretary. Time called Bu Karima,” Karima said.
“I call Mom as Ms. Karima because I respect Mom. Mom is older than me,” Daniel said.
“Let me call Karima only,” continued Daniel.
“Iya, it's okay,” Karima said.
“Karima also don't call me Mr. Daniel again. Call me by another name,” said Daniel.
“Call what?” karima asked confused.
“Call me Daniel only or Brother or Mas or Aa whatever Karima want to call,” said Daniel.
