Alex explains to his papa about what Kayla is really all about. Although Kayla was kidnapped by her papi even sold, Kayla did not have time to be harassed. Indeed there was persecution against Kayla because of her resistance when she would be harassed, but luckily Kayla survived. Actually Alex is not comfortable saying all that to his papa, because it concerns Kayla's privacy. But inevitably Alex has to explain it to Papa to change his view of Kayla.
Elfatt gave a long snort while sitting leaning on the sofa. Then looked at his son seriously. "Al, there are a lot of girls better than Kayla. A good girl who has no dark past, and from a distinguished family. Kayla is not fit to be a daughter-in-law in our family. Papa knows he's a good boy, but wherever he wants to stay he's in a relationship with the criminal"
"Om Arman, pa." Elfatt nodded, he deliberately did not mention the name of Papi Kayla.
"Al know a lot of good girls, but Al just love Kayla. Papa knows that."
"Papa knows, but he's no match for you."
"Why not! Papa knows Kayla, papa also said that Kayla is suitable to be Al's companion, right?"
"You don't have to repeat that, if you knew he was the son of a criminal papa wouldn't know you're the same as him."
"Kayla is not her papi, nor does she live with her papi. Papa can't dong judge Kayla depending on her papi. Al knows who Kayla pa is, and Al is sure there's no girl who dampingin Al except Kayla."
"Alex, there are a lot of girls out there who are better and better suited to you than him." Elfatt started to get emotional. "Udah papa says he's not fit to be part of our family."
"Because of the bad guy's papa?"
There was no need for Elfatt to answer, as it was obvious. Alex asked just because he didn't accept the expression of his papa.
"We will not be in a relationship with the families of criminals. That would be bad for our business Al. Please understand" persuaded Elfatt.
"So you mean, AI has to kill Kayla?" ask Alex to get stuck.
"Yes." Elfatt briefly lightly.
"Papa already know the answer Al right, Al can not be lasain it. Make Al not a matter of whose son he is, Al dear same Kayla sincere pa. And Al can't lose him."
"AI, try to understand papa's intentions. For the good of your future, and the reputation of our family business as well. Don't just want feelings." Elfatt tried to talk more relaxed.
"We can't always overcome Al's feelings, sometimes we have to be more on the same side with logic and circumstances. Papa knows you love Kayla, papa knows. But remember, the honor of our family is in your hands. Papa does not want you to choose the wrong life companion, which will destroy the good name of our family or our business"
Alex was offended. "Kayla is a respectable girl, she takes good care of herself. Her mother is also a good person, Om Iwan a good and respected person. He lives with them, not with his papi. It's not necessarily Om Arman that's forever evil, everyone can change."
"So we can't consider this a trivial matter. We are not ordinary people living simply in a small AI environment, our lives are always highlighted. Please understand."
"The father thinks this is a problem, not Al. For Al it's all nothing more important than Kayla's own personality"
"This is what you need to correct! You think your life's just about you and Kayla, the rest isn't important? You also have other responsibilities, Al, and that's more important than your relationship with Kayla."
"Kayla is still your fiancee, not yet a wife, not yet your responsibility. While you first have a job and business that you have to handle, it's your responsibility. About girls, life partners, then it's easy. Papa can find a wife for you, who is equal to us. Let me just want you to take care of business."
"Al know Al pa's responsibility, Al will not be out of hand. But Al couldn't get rid of Kayla either, Al didn't want to hurt her. No need to bother looking for another girl, because no one can replace Kayla in the heart of Al"
Elfatt rolled his eyes lazily. "Don't be stupid because of Al's love, anyway not necessarily the girl you're fighting for it could be the way you want it to be. Your journey is still long, just focus on school and work. Start lupain Kayla"
Alex is upset. "Why be gini anyway? That's all papa asked Al to take Kayla?! Pa, she's Al's wife-to-be. Al can't lose him"
"Cancel your engagement with Kayla!"
Alex was wide inexhaustible with his papa's decision.
"Remember Al, lose your ego and your feelings. Use logic, see the situation, do not because of love you even forget everything. Just focus on what you've achieved Al! You losing Kayla doesn't mean your future is gone either"
"Kayla's Al's future, pa." Alex insists.
Elfatt shook his head, "No, not yet. If you want to marry young, papa will find a girl who is equal to you and ready to help us make our company too. Girls like that are suitable for you Al, according to papa's more mature wife is perfect for you, so you can learn business from him"
"Business business continues... Al don't like papa hook-link everything the same business pa!" Alex breathed a heavy sigh.
"Do you think Al nglamar Kayla is just because you want to marry doang?! Al love Kayla pa and Al need her, Al marry her intention on the basis of love. Nothing to do with business." said Alex.
"Lagian Kayla is a smart girl, she's mature and understanding. He can also take care of the business if he wants a ghost like that. Pliss pa, don't think of finding another girl in place of Kayla. Kayla can't be replaced by anyone."
"Why not? Open your eyes Al, don't follow your heart which is just Kayla. Papa doesn't want you to be a love slave. Your life will not end without him, your future can be bright without him."
"Papa doesn't understand." Alex nodded.
"You think papa doesn't care about you? I think for your good in the future Al. The good image of our family will be questioned if we build a relationship with the family of a criminal. Try to understand that!" Elfatt let out a tired sigh, he wanted Alex to understand his way of thinking but his son was stubborn.
"Kayla's presence will not damage the image of our family pa, believe Al! The one who's going into our family is Kayla, not her papi. Kayla will not bring bad influence to our family or the business that papa majestically. Kayla is a smart girl, she knows how to put herself, she knows how to behave in accordance with what she faces. Al believes it, please papa understands."
Elfatt was silent while twitching his forehead. Confused how to make Alex understand. Actually, Elfatt really regretted Kayla was the son of a criminal, but what else if that's the reality. Kayla is a kind and polite child, Elfatt knows that. But still the background is important, the public will surely question who will be the daughter-in-law of the William family, which family has the honor of being different from respected people such as the William family. It will happen in the future if Alex marries Kayla. Maintaining a good image of business and family honor is important! Why Alex doesn't understand.
A heated debate between father and son ended without conclusion, Elfatt went into his room to rest his body and mind tired of working all day. Plus Alex's problem he can't ignore. Alex himself did not continue his debate to see the father who did not want to give up, he chose to go into his room and calm his mind.

The next morning Alex and his father had breakfast together as usual, but this time there was no warm conversation like the previous days. After Elfatt finished his breakfast, he stood up while tidying up his suit and tie.
"Al, finish it as soon as you can! Papa does not want this problem to drag on, which will invite other problems."
Alex looked up at his confused papa. "Speak to Kayla! Papa will talk to Nadia" continued Elfatt before waltzing away.
"Pa!" sergeant Alex, make his papa steps stop.
Alex got up from his seat and faced his father. "Well, what do you really want to say about Al Kayla?"
Elfatt was silent before answering. "That's Al's best"
Alex clenched his hand, "Didn't he back up Al sama Kayla's relationship? Papa Misahin Al sama Kayla? Al can't break Kayla pa's heart, Al can't do that" Alex said.
"Let papa handin. Papa's gonna talk to Nadia"
"Papa want to break up a relationship that is well established, just because one problem is not too meaningful, pa?!"
"Papa don't see the problem is small Al, the problem can affect us. It is better to avoid what has not happened than to face what has happened!"
Alex looked at his papa with a frustrated face. "Think logically Al, try not to involve feelings in this! Start forgetting Kayla."
Elfatt patted Alex on the shoulder three times before leaving. Alex just gawked silently, standing pegged with stifled anger and a pushy look. Frustrating.

Derrtt..
Kayla grabbed her phone that was ringing. One chat came in, from Alex. la immediately opened it. Kayla's smile faded as she read the chat Alex had sent her.
📱
"Miss Kissable, I can't pick you up today. Sorry, I'm so, baby.."
Kayla is a little sad, because she is used to being picked up by Alex and going to school together. But he understands Alex, surely Alex has a reason why he couldn't pick him up this morning.

"AI..?" Vanessa was astonished and delighted to see Alex standing at her doorstep.
"How are you, son?" tanyanya when Alex bowed to regret it.
Alex hasn't said a word. Vanessa then read Alex's facial expression, moody and uninspired.
"What's up, son? You're not in school?" Vanessa tries to find out Alex's condition, seeing Alex wearing a school uniform but instead comes to her mother's house, even though it's almost eight o'clock which means Alex must be late if he gets to school at this hour.
Alex was silent. Vanessa leads him into the house. "Come on Al."
Just now Alex was sitting with his mother, and Vanessa had not had time to ask back, Alex immediately hugged him while sobbing little. Vanessa finally realizes that her son is having problems. Otherwise, Alex wouldn't be like this, Alex isn't a whiny kid.
"Just like Mom, what's up, son?" Vanessa stroked Alex's back.
"Papa. papa wants to misahin I'm with Kayla" he said rafu interrupted his sobbing.
"Huh?! What are you talking about Al? What's the problem?"
Vanessa was surprised to hear that. After a while Alex shed his tears in his mother's arms, he also explained the problems he faced. At first Alex was afraid that mom would react the same as papa when she found out what happened to Kayla. But no, my mother understood and was not angry. Mama was concerned about what had happened, making Alex a little calm.
"Mama knows ma, if I love Kayla. I love him ma, there's no way I'm gonna leave him."
"my mama knows."
"I know, mama must know more about love, mama experienced about this. Mama can understand how I feel."
Vanessa smiled faintly, to be honest she felt embarrassed when Alex told her mother was more experienced about love. It's true, but Vanessa's love for Vino isn't Alex's father's Elfatt. And Alex knew that, his mother was willing to sacrifice for love, and betray love. Vanessa didn't expect there to be today, where Alex begged her for something by justifying love. Though Alex used to hate everything related to the betrayal of his mother. Be it women, love, and tears.
"Mama will talk to your papa" said Vanessa calming Alex.
Alex smiled with relief while kissing her mother's hand. "Thank you ma."
"Don't worry Al, mama doesn't like your tangled face" seduced Vanessa while shuffling Alex's hair.
"Hmm.how not upset ma, Al does not want to lose Kayla. Al can't hurt him."
"my mama knows. Mama promise, you and Kayla will be together. You love each other and should be happy."
Vanessa's memory drifted away after saying that. she knew how painful love she couldn't have, she knew how tormented her inner self was when it came to accepting others as a companion and hurting lovers. Vanessa doesn't want the same thing to happen to Alex, history can't repeat itself. Whatever Vanessa would do for Alex and Kayla to come together, they love each other sincerely, the children should be happy. Vanessa did not dare to imagine if their relationship ran aground, Vanessa who will be tormented first if it happens. she does not want Alex to feel the same as he used to feel, he said, his son must be happy, Alex's love must succeed.
After all, the reason why Alex wanted to separate them was not a good reason. Kayla has no disgrace or shortcomings that can affect Alex, especially for the family business that is very worried about papa Alex. Alex is right, who papi Kayla will have no effect on their relationship and family image. Vanessa agrees it's no big deal, and Vanessa supports her son. And a good girl like Kaylat doesn't deserve to be hurt, even more so just because she was born the son of a criminal. Vanessa certainly understands Kayla's feelings, if the girl is to the point of being heartbroken because her relationship is broken. Moreover, the one who hurt him was Vanessa's own son, Vanessa wouldn't let that happen until it happened.
"AI, you're not intending to skip, are you?"
"Emm.." Alex scratched his nape.
"Then Kayla, when you're truant!"
"Well how else ma, this problem is serious, I will not be able to focus on learning if it has not been found a solution."
"There is a solution now. Mama will talk to your dad as soon as possible. And mama's sure you're the same Kayla won't break up."
"Yes ma really."
"yes" replied Vanessa steadily.
"But if papa keeps insistent how?"
"As long as there is a mother, you will not let your child be heartbroken. Mama's gonna make papa you understand."
Alex smiled, "I believe in my mother. Thanks ma."
Vanessa patted Alex's cheek gently. "Well, let's go to school!"
Alex's smile disappeared instantly. "It's too late ma, look what time it is."
"No first class papa is absent, but do not let you in the stamp truant all day. Not ashamed of what?"
Alex snorted lazily, "Mama's a nganter but." whined.
Vanessa laughs amusedly. "Haha.. How spoiled is that."
"Come on!" vanessa said, standing up.
