The atmosphere in Dad David's workspace was silent for a while after Gavin made an unexpected confession about his feelings for Azzahra.
Dad David just gave a smile and turned to his wife who was also smiling at him while nodding her head.
Meanwhile, Gavin, who had just realized that he had expressed the feelings he had towards Azzahra, turned to Azzahra. Gavin found his wife holding the liquid that was ready to spill on her cheek.
" Honey ..." Gavin immediately approached and grabbed Azzahra's body, so that without being able to stem the tears spilled on Azzahra's cheeks.
Dad David who saw the melancholy atmosphere in front of him immediately stood followed by Aunt Linda.
" You better take your wife to rest in the room. It must have been because of last night's quarrel, Rara must have been very tired" said Dad David before he left Gavin and Azzahra.

Azzahra sat on the edge of Gavin's bedroom bed in Dad David's house. After Gavin's unwitting confession to the trap of Dad David's question, Gavin takes him to rest in the room.
Actually the expression of the feeling that Gavin spoke was an unexpected surprise for him. Is it true what Gavin said if her husband loved her? If that's true, it certainly makes her heart feel flowery. But if considering the problems they are facing right now, it certainly makes his heart sad.
Perhaps Azzahra felt the same way as her husband. She probably had a lot of love for her husband too. Otherwise, there was no way he would feel this disappointed knowing Gavin's past. Then what should he do now?
Will he survive or will he leave Gavin? If only he could sincerely accept Gavin's past? So what about his parents? Can they accept this reality? Then what if the surrounding community knew if the husband had children from other women out of wedlock, he said, will it not make Abi and Umi feel devastated to have a daughter-in-law with a past like Gavin? Such things were troubling Azzahra's heart.
" Honey, come with me to Singapore, let it all clear. I don't want you to doubt me, Honey." Gavin sat down in front of Azzahra, holding his wife's fingers.
Azzahra looked at her husband for a moment but before long she threw away a look in another direction. How could she possibly have met a woman from Gavin's past, especially if there was already a child in her husband and that woman.
" Honey ...."
" I don't want to come!" Azzahra.
" But, Honey ...."
" I told you I'm not coming!" ketus Azzahras.
" Okay, but let me go to Singapore. I need to talk to Jovanka. I also need to meet William. Because if he's really my son, as a father, I have an obligation to support him." Gavin asked for his wife's permission and understanding.
" Just go! Don't mind me!" Still with an angry tone Azzahra said that sentence.
" I'm not leaving if I don't have your permission, Honey."
Azzahra stared at Gavin.
" Didn't Gavin originally plan to leave without my knowledge?! Yes, go there! Why ask permission from me?!" It seems that the emotions in Azzahra's heart have not subsided even though her husband has expressed his love.
" Honey, please. Don't reveal it again. I'm really sorry." Gavin showered Azzahra's fingers with a few kisses.
" Go!" Azzahra threw a glance at another place as he said so.
" Thank you, Honey." Now changed the face of Azzahra who was exposed to the attack of Gavin's lips bertubi-tubi.

" How about, Mr Rizal?" asked Gavin to Mr. Rizal who he met at the cafe near the apartment occupied by Jovanka.
" We're detaining Miss Jovanka from leaving the apartment today. So you can meet him at his apartment right now, Mr. Gavin." Rizal reported what he was doing.
" Goodluck, Mr. Gavin." Rizal cheers up the reply with a head nod by Gavin. Soon the man who almost turned twenty-nine years old also passed to the apartment where Jovanka lived.
Arriving at the door of the apartment unit as informed by Rizal, Gavin directly pressed the bell located near the door.
With a thumping heart Gavin waited for the door to open. Honestly, what makes his heart pound is not because he will meet back the woman he once loved. But when he will later meet with a small child who is most likely his son.
Gavin tries to push the bell back because the door to Jovanka's apartment is not open. But after waiting for almost a minute he felt the movement of the apartment door open and revealed a beautiful woman who immediately gasped at the sight of Gavin's arrival in front of him.
Not much different from Jovanka. Gavin was stunned for a while when he saw Jovanka. Not much has changed from the woman, only her body is slightly fuller and her long hair is now trimmed short to show the woman's nape.
" Gavin?" Jovanka doesn't believe in her eyesight.
" Hi, Jo .." said Gavin clumsily.
" What are you doing here?" Jovanka's tone sounded like she did not like to see the presence of Gavin.
" I'm ...."
" Mommy ...."
But before Gavin said the intention of his arrival suddenly sounded from inside the apartment.
" What is William's voice?" gavin asked when he heard the voice of the little boy.
Jovanka rounded her eyes when she heard Gavin mention William by name. He was about to quickly close the door to his apartment but Gavin's hand held back that the door to Jovanka's apartment was not closed.
" What are you going to do here? Go then! Don't ruin our lives!" jovanka kept trying to close the door on her apartment.
" Jo, let me meet William. Give me a chance to talk." Gavin pleads.
" You don't have to meet William, he's my son, just my son! Go then! And don't ever come to this place again!" jovanka growled because Gavin was still adamant by holding back the door of his apartment
" Jo, I'm really sorry. I know I'm guilty of you. Please let me talk for a moment. Let me explain my arrival here." Gavin continues to try to persuade Jovanka to grant his request.
" There's nothing more you need to explain! Our relationship was over when you left me that night. So please don't ever see me again, let alone mess with my son's life!" Jovanka pushed the door of her apartment so full of anger that it was almost closed.
" Jo ...."
" Go away or will I call security to expel you?!" threaten Jovanka, and finally she can make the door close because Gavin starts to relax his power to hold the door.
Gavin grunted rudely. It turns out that meeting Jovanka to express her apology is not as easy as she imagined. Gavin realizes that Jovanka must have been hurt a lot because of what she did. After he took the woman flying to the seventh heaven, then threw her to earth by leaving Jovanka just with a piece of paper inscribed with a farewell message from her.
