"Beautiful doctor, accompany us to a cafe meal, yes."

"Come, Doc. We're hungry." Radhi and Raine held Rei's right hand, so that the woman could not resist. Inwardly, Marva smiled with satisfaction.

Smart kids!

In the cafe, they sat with Rei in the middle of Radhi and Raine, while Marva was right in front of Rei.

Marva kept looking at Rei. Look at the beautiful face of the mother of her children. Rei who felt noticed, felt uncomfortable.

"Is there anything you want to say, Sir?"

Marva did not like to hear Rei calling him master.

He no longer calls me brother.

"You changed."

"Everyone will change. Nothing is certain."

"How have you been doing all this time?"

"Very good, as you can see."

"Why did you go to London?"

"Of course to get something better. I don't want to waste my life."

"Why don't you go to college in Jakarta?"

"I'm scared."

"Fearful?"

"Fear that my heart will lose and want to meet the children."

"But why it has to be in a country of people, why not just outside the city."

"I was just following my heart, and it turned out that my decision was right. In this country, I was able to meet Freya again, and befriend Monic, Letta and Zilda. They're very nice to me."

"Why not be an architect, that's your dream."

"The dream does not have to be fulfilled, if there is something more important and valuable than that. It doesn't mean I just let go. I can still design."

"Because I want to leave with pride. Do you think I'll leave after you guys drive out? Or you might think that I wish you would have prevented me from leaving, or that I begged you to stay? I ... very much know what the content of the agreement is."

"I humbled myself enough."

Marva was silent, still looking at the sad face whose face looked more and more mature.

Rei looked at the twins who were watching the video using the earphones. Marva did deliberately give it to them, so as not to hear her talk with Rei.

"You got a lover?" I don't know why Marva asked like that.

"Have it or not, it's none of your business." Rei snorts, Marva is indeed her ex-husband, the father of her children, but that doesn't mean she should know all the personal things about him.

They have been in the country for a few days. Rei never took Marva and the twins to his apartment.

"By yeah, auntie. We want to play to Auntie's."

"Yes, but then yeah. Auntie wants to get settled first."

Rei and Naya and the rest of the girls go to Rei's unit.

"Stay right here. Watch out if anyone comes!" threaten Naya's. Even Chiro was not invited.

Arriving at Rei's place, the girl's team immediately gotong royong cleaned Rei's unit. Not because it's a mess, but because of the many photos of the twins.

"Just put it in one of the rooms, keep the key," said Naya.

After everything was finished, they could only let the boys in.

"We also want dong, to Nania and Aruna's place."

"Not many people want to be. You guys are all, very troublesome, except for Chiro and the twins," Zilda said.

"We're hungry, you're the only ones cooking."

"You just buy food."

Not to be blamed for the chaos in the kitchen, they ended up ordering food.

Besides Marva, of course others can cook. It's not that Marva can't cook, but it's just sober.

Marva saw the twins sleeping on Rei's thigh. Seeing that Marva smiled, without remembering that in other countries, a woman was still restless.
