"Where is Richie now, Grandma?"
"No more asking that selfless Grandma's grandchild. He has returned to Singapore. Richie's gonna propose to the girl."
"W-what?" Hye jin was stunned. That fast Richie's gonna propose to the girl? It turns out he never meant anything to Richie. Hye jin swallowed this bitter reality.
Hye Jin decided to return to his room. He did not expect Richie to not tell himself when he returned to Singapore. But Hye Jin decides to go to Singapore and meet Richie. He'll congratulate Richie. In addition, Hye Jin also wants to know about the girl that Richie will marry.

Dea looked at herself in front of the mirror. He felt so disgusted to see his reflection. Moreover, he remembers when Richie was silent when Papa Arya asked what Richie was doing with him.
"Why is he so willing to do that to me?! I hate you, Richie!" dea shouted with tears in her eyes.
Richie drives his car to Papa Arya's house. He wants to inform Papa Arya that he and his family will soon propose to Dea.
Richie is feeling so happy right now. The girl he loved so much now would truly be his.
His car has reached Papa Arya's yard. With a definite step, Richie began to walk into the house.
The waiter told him to come in and take him to the living room, the place where Papa Arya and the others are currently, except Dea.
"Good day, Uncle, Auntie," Richie said as he reached the living room. His gaze looked for where Dea was, but his eyes could not find where Dea was at the moment.
"Sit down" said Papa flatly.
"All right, Uncle."
They all stared hard at Richie. Richie feels like a suspect in a case. In fact, he was a suspect in the incident that night.
"Have you made your decision?" ask Papa Arya straight to the point.
Richie nodded steadily. "I've decided to marry my Uncle's daughter" Richie said.
"Then what about your fiancee? You want to marry my daughter by breaking your fiance's heart?" Papa Arya sighed for a moment. "You already have a fiancee, but you brought Dea to your apartment without my permission. It doesn't rule out the possibility that you'll do the same by putting another woman in your apartment when you marry my daughter." Papa Arya looked at Richie sharply.
"Uncle, please don't think I'm that bad. I would never do that." A few seconds Richie was silent on Papa Arya's accusation. "Uncle never knows how to be in a match with a girl who is still his own relative. While I myself love another girl whom I can never forget." Richie paused his words.
"How can I marry another woman while I can never forget, Dea?"
Papa Arya and the others were aghast at what Richie had just said. They're shocked.
"So you mean you like Dea?"
"Yes, Uncle. And I'm taking Dea to my apartment, too, not without reason... " Richie told me every detail that happened that night. Except for how he's dampened the drug's effect on Dea's body.
Dea down the stairs. He is shocked to see Richie at Papa Arya's house.
"Go...!" exciting Dea. He hates Richie so much right now. Her tears flooded her cheeks.
Dea's cry made all eyes turn towards him. Dea walked towards Richie.
"You think I like you huh!? I don't like you. Don't expect you to marry me! Get out of here!"
"Dea!" snapped Papa Arya.
"Dea hates it, Pa... "
"I'll never like you, and I'll never marry you!" firmly Dea.
"I don't care if you don't like me. But I'll still marry you."
"You're crazy, Richie!" Dea pushes Richie's body and runs away from the living room.
"Uncle, Dea go. I'll look for him." said Richie, who's going after Dea.
Papa Arya pulled Richie's hand which almost left the living room.
"Richie... "
"Yes, Uncle."
Arya looks into Richie's face, which implies despair.
"Do you really love Dea?"
Richie's eyes felt hot hearing the question from Papa Arya. "I've loved Dea for a long time, Uncle. I'm sorry if I had to say this and let Uncle down. But I really love Dea, Uncle."
Silence happened for a while. Until Papa Arya's voice again broke the silence.
"I'll let you get close and marry Dea, as long as you solve your problems with your fiancee. Richie immediately looked at Papa Arya with a twinkle.
"I promise to make Dea happy, Uncle. And I also solved my problem with my fiancee. And in a few days, my family and I will propose to Dea, Uncle," Richie said happily.
"alright. Thank goodness you've solved everything. But you have to remember this. If you hurt your Uncle's daughter once, then Uncle is the first one to take your Uncle's daughter away from you. We love Dea very much, even though she is not our biological daughter, but our affection is the same as love for Moza." said Papa Arya.
"I promise, Uncle." Richie said so for sure.
Papa Arya tells Richie to go back to his house. He told Richie to go back to Dea when Dea had calmed down a little.

On the way to his apartment, suddenly someone stopped Richie's car.
A stranger got out of the car and approached Richie. Richie immediately opened his car door and went out to meet the man.
"What do you want?" Richie let out a voice annoyed that Arsen was blocking his car.
"You were intentional, right? You purposely did this to Dea so you could marry her! You already have a future wife, what do you really want huh!?"
"I don't want anything. I just want you to stop approaching Dea. You have so many lovers, and I don't want you to hurt Dea!" richie.
"Then how is it different from you? You're not reflecting on yourself. You're really sneaky, Richie!" Arsen blows his punch to Richie's face, but Richie turns him away.
"I'm grateful to you. Because with the events of that night, I'm now getting full support for marrying Dea." Richie's smile makes Arsen so emotional.
"Bad! You're such a sneaky guy, Richie!"
"You are a crafty! Do you think I don't know about your plans with your father?! Don't expect you to be able to take advantage of it, especially if you approach Dea again, then you'll know the consequences!" threaten Richie's.
"I didn't use Dea at all. As for Papa's plan, I did agree to it because I did love Dea. And you've ruined everything!" snapped Arsenic. His voice turned raucous. Richie could see the earnestness of Arsen's words from the look in his eyes. But he will not be deceived.
