After taking a bath, Galen and Diandra had breakfast with the fried rice that had been cooked. Diandra warms up first.
"Honey, I'm going to see my mom and dad. You don't mind me meeting my parents without taking you?" ask Galen.
"Of course I don't mind. That's your parents. There is no such thing as an ex-parent. You better meet. So that there are no more misunderstandings. I don't want to be told the separation between the child and the parent. Even though mom and dad can't accept me, you should stay on good terms with both of your parents."
"You are so good, I will make papa and mama can accept you again. I'll make sure you don't lie."
"Thank you, Galen. I'm happy to be loved by you."
Galen kissed Diandra's cheek sitting beside her. Galen knew that Diandra's heart was not okay at the moment. However, Galen also could not force to invite Diandra. Galen wanted to know what his parents would talk about.
After breakfast Galen said goodbye to Diandra. Dahi Diandra.
"Dear, remember! Don't open the door, whoever's visiting. Don't go anywhere without me. Wait for me to come home."
"I'm scared, Galen."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid your parents are asking us to separate."
"Listen, Honey. Whoever wants us to separate, I won't. I just want to be with you. I want us to age together."
"Don't leave me, Galen. I fear. I have no one but you." Diandra hugged Galen tightly. Afraid to separate from her husband.
"Trust me, Honey. I will never leave you. Or do you want to come?" ask Galen.
"No need. Mom and Dad just wanted to see you. Later if I come, they won't talk to you."
"Do you know that my mom and dad want to talk to me?"
"I heard it because I woke up. Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
"It's okay, honey. Why should I apologize? I am your husband. Nothing I cover from you. So should you. There are no lies in our homes. Come inside. I'm saying goodbye." Galen peeked back at Diandra's forehead. His wife kissed Galen's hand.
Galen closed and locked the apartment door. Towards his car Galen drove the car full of question marks.
Arriving at the company, Galen headed straight for his study. Galen works with the mind drifting. He wondered what his parents would say.
During the day, during break time, Galen said goodbye to his secretary and asked the woman to take care of all the office matters.
Arriving at the courtyard of the restaurant, Galen parked his car. Galen walked into the restaurant and headed straight for the VIP room where his family used to gather.
When he opened the door, Galsn saw his parents sitting and hugging.
"Good Day, Papa, Mama" said Galen.
"Good afternoon. Sit down!" say Mama.
Galen sat on the sofa in front of her parents. Papa released his embrace on Mama's shoulder. Papa looked at Galen closely.
"Would you meet Diandra last night?" ask Papa.
"Can, Pa."
"Thank God. If that woman can't be found, you'll definitely blame us."
"Did you ask me to come just to talk about Diandra?" ask Galen.
"One of them. But most importantly of all, Papa calls you to say, if you're going to lead our company in Singapore."
"I? Do I deserve to lead and live it?" ask Galen.
"You're there and you're going to college to be a good leader. Papa will help you."
"By, Pa. But I have to take care of Diandra's passport first" Galen said.
"Diandra let it be here. You were there for two years. If Diandra comes you will not concentrate on college and work," said Papa.
"Diandra's here. With who?"
"She can still stay in your apartment. Papa will give Diandra the money for her needs."
Galen looked at his parents with unblinking eyes.
