During the trip, Mr. Ginting felt increasingly upset and frustrated that her communication efforts with Biyan did not get any answers or replies. He cursed inwardly, letting his feelings of frustration take over his mind.
Every mobile phone ringing sound that came without an answer from Biyan further made him feel impatient.
"Why didn't he answer? There have been many messages and calls I have sent, but no response at all. Was he intentionally avoiding? Or did he really not care about his duty?"
When the rain and the traffic jams seem to add further to the chaotic condition of his heart, Mr. Ginting is getting worse. He felt like he was in a difficult situation.
On the one hand, she wants to pursue her feelings for Yati, but on the other hand, the uncertainty and obscurity in communication with Biyan haunts her even more.
"Huhfff .. I hope something doesn't happen that I don't want to," the man murmured to calm himself.
Despite his mixed feelings, Mr. Ginting knew that he had to stay calm and not rush into making decisions. He realized that the situation might be able to have an explanation he did not know about. However, his difficulty in overcoming his feelings and his turmoil due to lack of communication with Biyan remained a heavy burden during the trip to Bogor.

At Yati's house, Biyan was still chatting with a beaming face.
"Ah yes, Bogor rain is famous so. But thank you for stopping by, even if it's because the weather's not friendly."
Ms. Nina, mediate so that the atmosphere does not feel awkward and tense. The middle-aged woman seemed to know the situation, making a smile rise on each other's faces.
As he spoke, the atmosphere grew more familiar. Yati and Biyan's father began talking about their hobbies, life experiences, and sharing stories that tickled laughter, even though the old man had trouble communicating.
Nina's mother also enlivened the conversation with a funny story from the hospital, or conveyed what Mr. Wasito wanted to say. So he was like a spokesman, translating Mr. Wasito's obscure words.
Slowly, as the rain began to subside, the four of them sat together in the living room, with laughter flowing just like that. It looks like a family.
The young man felt warmly received within the familiar circle of the Yati family, and it was as if the rain itself had opened the door for this unexpected encounter.
'I feel like I've been a part and one of Mis Yeti's family, ' the inner youth is happy, radiating throughout the body.
After a familiar and warm moment at Yati's house, Biyan felt that she had taken a step further in her attempt to approach Yati.
A casual conversation with Yati's father and her father's nurse gives her the opportunity to show herself from a different angle, outside of a formal or relaxed atmosphere.
Biyan feels that their relationship is getting closer, and this gives her confidence that her feelings for Yati are not just one-way. In the togetherness, he felt more confident to express his feelings more honestly to Yati.
'Is this a form of nature's support for me?' biyan asked with hope.
'Looks like yes, and I can't waste this opportunity.'
Although heavy rain had once seemed to impede its journey, it was instead the catalyst that facilitated this important encounter. As the rain subsided and they were still sitting together, Biyan felt that this moment was a golden opportunity to approach Yati slowly and sincerely.
With a flowery heart, Biyan decides that she will talk to Yati when the right moment arrives. He believes that his sincere feelings and the good impression left on the Yati family will help him strengthen their relationship in the coming steps.
As Biyan arrived at the hotel and checked her phone, she was surprised to see many messages and missed calls from Mr. Ginting.
"Mr Ginting?"
Feelings of worry and guilt begin to surround her, as she realizes that her main task is to look after Yati, not approach her personally. He felt he was in a difficult dilemma.
Biyan pondered for a moment, trying to find the right words to explain the situation to Mr. Ginting. He wanted to remain honest, but also did not want to hurt Mr.'s feelings. Ginting was obviously interested in his Mis Yeti as well.
Carefully, Biyan finally decided to send a message to Mr. Ginting.
..."Hello, Mr. Ginting. Sorry if I can't respond to your calls and messages. I just arrived in Bogor and was carrying out the task of guarding Yati. There seems to be some misunderstanding, and I want to make sure that everything stays professional and on task. Hope you can understand. Thank you."...
While typing the message, Biyan's heart blossomed, as she realized that her feelings for Yati could not be allowed to hinder her professional responsibilities. Though difficult, she believes that this is the right step to keep their relationship in the right place.

At home, Yati sat talking to her father in a warm atmosphere. They shared stories about various things, and at one point, his father commented sincerely.
"Nduukk, Maatti. A-yah has to say, A-yaahh likesahh with that young man. Bi-iyaannn it. Diaaa ... she seems kind and attentive to muuu."
"Dad ... You can't just make assumptions" said Yati but with a smile and her face flushed red.
Yati's father smiled at the change in color of her son's face.
"Hehehe, I-I'm sorry, my son. B-but I as a-yah, feel good if k-amuu has someone .. someone who cares for youuu."
Yati felt moved by her father's support, but her heart was heavy. He knew that he had secrets about his relationship with Biyan that he could not reveal.
Biyan himself was someone who had been close to him, but at that time did not get the approval of his family.
Yati pondered, unable to say anything more. He did not want to disappoint his father.
'Dad, I'm also glad Biyan was nice to me. But ... There are things about her that I haven't told you about, and that don't seem to matter much.'
"Nduokk ... The a-pa you think about? Jang-aan hesitates-ra-guuu bii-caraaa on Ayaaah."
Yati felt stubborn. He knew that revealing this secret could make his relationship with his father disrupted. However, he also felt that honesty was important.
The woman let out a long sigh before finally saying to tell her everything that had happened a long time ago.
"Dad, actually ... Biyan has been in a deeper relationship with me before. But at that time, our relationship .. did not get the blessing of his family."
Father Yati nodded slowly, showing understanding. Although he did not know all the details, he could sense that there was more to the story behind it.
But the old man never expected that his son, once involved in a relationship that turned out to be more complicated. Although he was aware, Biyan was much younger compared to this child.
'I know that sometimes things don't go as we expect. But importantly, if Yati feels good with Biyan now, and if she really has changed, there may be a new opportunity in the future.'
The man did not give an answer or a statement, but he spoke to himself in his heart. He knows how his son lived in the past.
Although there was a secret that still had to be dealt with, this conversation of theirs made Yati feel better. There is an urge to stick to the principle of honesty and sincerity. He knew that while the journey would be difficult, facing the problem honestly would help maintain his relationship with father and overcome the obstacles before him.
"Yati doesn't know Well, how Yati's way forward. But, even though no man could pair with Yati, then Yati would still be grateful."
Mr. Wasito smiled full haru. There were tears in the corner of her eyes that were jostling wanting to come out, especially when Yati hugged her frail body. There are deep regrets, but also gratitude for all that exists today.
