Hardi had arrived home after returning home from work from out of town, Sarah greeted him with a smile and they embraced each other. Hardi kissed Sarah's cheeks and Sarah was embarrassed because of Cilla and the twins nearby. Hardi brought special food souvenirs there, Cilla and the twins immediately took the package that Hardi brought and opened it in front of the television. They immediately ate the snack that Hardi brought while watching television while Hardi and Sarah went to the room, Hardi went straight to the bathroom while Sarah prepared the clothes that Hardi would wear later. Sarah cleaned her room when Hardi suddenly hugged her from behind with only a towel wrapped around her waist and slightly wet hair.
" What the hell mas, new shower directly hug, wet tofu!!"
" I miss you so much." Hardi kissed Sarah's cheek gently.
" Iiiihhh.. the pot is out, remember the age of hehehe."
" Mas is still young darling, this age of girls are still eager to be a wife mas."
" What do you mean? want to get married again?" sebal Sarah.
" Well, baby, I'm just in love with you." Hardi again kissed Sarah's cheek with affection.
" Let's be careful if you marry again, I'll remove your valuables." Sarah threatened, Hardi spontaneously covered the bottom with horror.
" Solem is really your threat, rather than missing mending continue to enjoy it with you, mas do not need other people hehehe." said Hardi while chattering.
" Uh yes, wearing his clothes will catch a cold." Sarah thrust the clothes on Hardi and Hardi took them and immediately put them on.
" How was the result of the meeting with his client?"
" Thank God dear, although a little to convince them but finally managed to also gain the trust of them."
" Thank God I'm happy." Sarah gasped when Hardi again hugged her.
" What's this why?"
" Us been told kangen yah kangen dear."
" Dad Mother...."Then the door of the room suddenly opened, Hardi then let go of her embrace in surprise.
" Cilla! not a child not now, if you enter the room parents must knock on the door first."
" Sorry, sorry, bother me! hehehe continued, hehee" Cilla closed her parents' door again.
" So, you little boy, we're out later in case we do anything else." Hardi and Sarah came out of their room and joined the television room with the children.

Cilla was playing her phone on a whim she typed in search of her father's name, Cilla was surprised by what she read where the article was written ' CEO of famous company MK company is known to have dined together with a beautiful woman in a luxury restaurant in Bogor ', Cilla also saw the photo in the article and it looks like Hardi was eating alone with a woman and then in the other photo Hardi like touching the lips of the woman, Cilla was even more jolted when reading the contents of the article. Cilla looked at her father who was cool in joking with Arka and Arsa with a sharp gaze, when Cilla met his father's eyes, Cilla immediately turned her face back to play her phone. Sarah who accidentally saw Cilla's gaze on her father wondered because never once Cilla looked at her father sharp as before.
' Is this news true? Did you cheat on Mom? Hah...but it seems like where maybe the father betrayed the mother, the father will love the mother very much!' cilla said in her heart.
" Where is Cilla going?" sarah asked when she saw Cilla move from her seat.
" Cilla wants to go to the toilet, Bun." Cilla replied but Sarah was still worried about Cilla's slightly changed attitude, let alone Sarah realized Cilla's gaze on her father.
Because of the curiosity Sarah also caught up with Cilla, before approaching Sarah saw Cilla standing in front of the bathroom like something was thought, Sarah stopped for a while but did not approach Cilla, Cilla, Sarah hesitates to fear interfering too much with her son's privacy. But Cilla was very angry and Sarah could not bear and wanted to know what Cilla thought, if Cilla had a problem. Then Sarah approached Cilla and called her daughter's name.
" Cilla! mommy see you're not going into the bathroom, why are you just sitting in front of the bathroom door and daydreaming?"
" Eh.. that's okay mom, uh. yeah .. yasudah Cilla to the bathroom first." Cilla went into the bathroom but Cilla was again just pensive and confused with her mind.
' Cilla why? like there's a hidden problem?' thought Sarah.
Later that night Cilla asked Hardi to talk to her in the garden behind her house.
" Dad! is what you wrote in this article true?" tanya Cilla then showed me the article from her phone.
Hardi read the article and he was surprised by what was reported there. Everything written in the article is very much different from the actual and very made up.
" No, baby, this is all a lie. Which father might betray the mother that I love so much." - denied Hardi
" Then what is this? Is there an explanation for this? It's impossible to edit the picture."
" Yes, I did eat together, but not just the two of you, there was Rio and some other people, let me tell you everything." Hardi told Cilla everything.
Flashback***
At 19:00 pm Wib, Hardi had a meeting with his Japanese client with Rio, they left for xxx Restaurant in Bogor city. To discuss the discourse of their cooperation in the future, there is a very important project that they must handle that will allow to greatly benefit both companies.
Arriving at the restaurant, Hardi sat at a table by the window for a comfortable atmosphere. Before long came the company representatives of a client of a woman and a man. Rio let them sit down, they also introduced each other in their respective ri.
" Include me Honoka Yahagi daughter of Kenzi Yahagi, I represent the company to discuss the project this time, please cooperate."
" Greetings, I am Hardi Malik, CEO of MK company and this is my secretary Rio." they shook hands and without wasting time they immediately discussed the project.
" How? do you agree with the proposal we made?"
" I love the concept, are you sure this project will work?"
" We believe everything we planned will be realized well, no need to worry. Guaranteed we will get a very big profit if the project is really successful."
" All right! we agree with what is written in this report. We will cooperate with MK company, may our project be a great success."
" ah... Thank you, we are very grateful, hope our cooperation is smooth." Hardi is very happy because he managed to attract large clients for his project now.
" Before that, we had ordered dinner for us." said Rio and soon the food came.
They also enjoyed the food, but Rio was allowed to go to the toilet for a while while the person who was with Miss Yahagi got a phone call so he had to stay away for a while. Hardi and Miss Yahagi are sitting there.
" How does the steak taste?" ask Hardi.
" It's delicious, thank you for recommending good food here."
" I'm sorry, there's a sauce left at the end of your lips."
Then Honoka tried to melap but did not fit the node, Honoka continued to try to clean but did not know the actual location of the sauce left behind. Seeing that Hardi was feeling uneasy then Hardi took a tissue and then melap the remaining sauce next to Honoka's lips, right then from far away there are people who shoot cameras until the moment looks like Hardi is friendly with other women. Hardi did not know who photographed him and posted such an unsubstantiated article without being in accordance with the facts.
" Is it true that everything you say is honest?" ask Cilla reassuringly.
" Dad told me honestly, baby, why would you lie. Dad will tell Rio to delete the article at any cost and you should shut up never say this to Mommy, you don't want it if you later get me wrong."
" Yes dad, but with 1 laden!"
" What's the condition?"
" Buy me a new phone Dad, the latest model phone. I'm tired of this phone I've been using for 2 years."
" Dad didn't teach you to squander money but for this time.ok...ok..dad will buy it for his beloved daughter's father."
" Great.thank you my beloved father." Cilla hugged her father tightly.
Then Sarah showed up and saw the father and son hugging. " What moment is it? until a hug like that!"
" It's father and son's business." Hardi replied.
" It's beginning to be a secret now."
" Yes mother, this is just a normal thing.hehe" said Cilla.
Sarah invites Cilla and Hardi to the family room, but Hardi will follow because there is an affair that must be discussed with Rio until Hardi will call Rio right now. Sarah leaves the room with Cilla to gather with Arka and Arsa in the family room.
Hardi immediately contacted Rio, "Hello, Rio! have you read the article about me? I just found out if there's an article about me on the internet."
Rio : "Oh that, yes I have taken care of sir, sorry I have not had time to tell Mr. Hardi because I immediately tried to deal with this so that the article was quickly deleted."
Hardi: "Good! it's not wrong that I keep trusting you, please finish quickly and tomorrow there's no more articles."
Rio: "Good sir."
' Rio's performance is not in doubt, fast and deft. Hopefully, sarah did not have time to read the article uploaded.' murmured Hardi. Then Hardi went out of the room to join his family.
___________
The next day Hardi checked his article and it turned out that there was nothing, Hardi was very satisfied with Rio's performance. He was relieved that Sarah did not read until Sarah did not know about the misunderstanding that was being told. Hardi thought who would dare to challenge him by charging him with publishing such fake news. Hardi is suspicious if any of his business rivals who cheat attack his personal matters. Hardi told Rio to come to his room and it didn't take long for Rio to enter.
" Rio find out who is the mastermind who published the article, look to see you!" hardi's orders.
" Good sir, I'll do it."
" why? you look lethargic today."
" I'm fine with just a lack of sleep last night."
" You took care of that all night, good job. Once you know who the mastermind is, I'll raise your pay 2x."
" Thank you so much, Mr. Hardi." Rio looked very happy then he exited Hardi's room to begin to find out the person behind the publication of the article.
Rio called his confidant to check the account that uploaded his article, asking to be found immediately. In addition, Rio asked for the help of detectives to handle the case and ensnare the person concerned according to the existing law.
_________
2 days later Rio came to Hardi's room and reported what he got.
" How?"
" I've investigated it, it's the account of a high school boy, but after being traced it's a fake account. The student gets a reward from the person who told him to upload the article, from the characteristics that the student told me in detail I immediately found out the person and started spying and it turned out to be a man from a rival company."
" Main Group?"
" Fright sir."
" Damn...! again they are." growled Hardi.
" Yes, good job."
Hardi is very upset because Utama Group is always looking for problems with him even though Hardi is always competing healthy. Indeed, every percentage always competes with the Main Group and MK company always wins the project. Maybe the Main Group feels revenge with Hardi until they commit fraud by slandering Hardi.

Cilla was seen smiling to herself in her room while slapping her body on the bed. He is sharing a message with Adrian, they are getting closer to each other so that they can tell anything until the little thing or the less important thing. Yet the two have yet to express their feelings each only they feel a match for each other.
" It looks like your daughter is happy? who's the same chat? it looks so good that you smile yourself!" Cilla was surprised that Sarah suddenly entered and sat on the edge of the bed beside Cilla.
" Uh... Mother, just ngagetin. It's just a chat with a friend." Cilla got up and sat down next to Sarah.
" What girl is a guy?"
" Eh.. that's."
" What was the guy who drove you home that time?"
" Yes bun, his name is Adrian and his man is nice. But you have to promise not to tell me, you know you don't want me to be close to a guy before school."
" Yes, I promise, but you've already chatnya, for now just study first, soon will be the test."
" Yes mother, I will study hard to graduate with good grades."
" It's good your daughter, you've continued her studies and good night, don't get too late to go to sleep." Sarah stroked Cilla's hair and walked out of Cilla's room.
Cilla sent a message to Adrian if he had to learn and Adrian understood, Adrian encouraged Cilla and wished Cilla good grades.
