"Aileen!"
Hearing her name being called made Aileen turn towards the source of the sound. Not Vano. That's a female voice.
Either Aileen has to express what. Dian who was in front of him was now smiling looking at him. After all this time, Aileen had only met Dian now. Last time I met you was in the hospital.
"Aileen!" Call Dian once again when you see Aileen just dumbstruck.
"Ah yes. What's up, Dian?" Ask Aileen.
"No. I just greet you. It's been a long time since we've met," Dian replied still with a smile.
But that smile slowly faded as his gaze descended on Aileen's already bloated stomach. Dian looks surprised.
"Aileen.... Are you... pregnant?" Ask Dian in a daze. Still can't believe what he saw.
"Yes. You how are you?" Ask Aileen.
"Hm good. If you can tell, are you married?" Ask Dian slowly.
Dian's question seemed to remind Aileen's current intentions. His gaze suddenly I looked at Dian.
"Where have you been all this time? Said Vano you moved on." Roughly Aileen swallowed her saliva.
"I did move. I now live in Bandung. I work at a tea plantation. Going to Jakarta only occasionally to buy medicine for my mother. So, you're married to Vano?"
Aileen nodded slowly. It made Dian smile. "Congratulations. I'm glad to hear that. You tau? Vano loves you so much. He'll do anything for you. And sorry for my treatment. Then I say yes. The delivery car I was riding in was back," said Dian.
Dian had wanted to move but Aileen blocked her hand. Dian turned around. "What's up, Aileen?"
"Can I come with you?" Pinta Aileen with her glare.
"But Van-"
"Please!" Lirih Aileen who made Dian inevitably finally nodded in agreement.

It has been 3 months since Aileen's departure. No one knows where it is, maybe. Yeah, Vano thinks no one knows.
During this time Vano continued to look for the existence of the wife and prospective children. But I never met. Vano had already deployed all his men to look for him but the result remained the same. And it can be ascertained if Aileen is currently pregnant. Soon Aileen would give birth to their child. But unfortunately Vano has not found it until now.
Aileen's parents were no less restless either. That was. Because what Vano does not know is that Aileen's parents already know the existence of the princess. Aileen called them herself. They purposely hid it from Vano. Let Vano fight alone to find his little family.
At this time Vano looked at the screen of his cellphone which displays his togetherness with his wife Aileen.
They are on holiday after the semester. They look happy in that picture.
His memories with Aileen make Vano more longing.
His gaze was indeed onto the photo but his mind had wandered everywhere at this moment.
"El!" Call Ben.
Vano remained unmoved in his position.
"El!" This time Gino called him.
Stay same. Finally, impatiently, Gino shook Vano's head until Vano realized from his daydream.
Vano is not angry. He just stared at Ben and Gino flat before drinking the mineral water in front of him. Even Gino who was increasingly upset to see it.
"How many months is this El! there is no change! Don't forget that dong. You look for bini lo but you still have to do other obligations! Lecture, work, and now we again discuss the plan of Villa development in Bandung. Now focus!" Gino.
"Sound. I'm sure you if you have a bini will be the same kek El. Now you say that because you don't have a bini!" Ben Cibir.
"Well, it won't. Even if I had a chini I wouldn't be that many times!" Gino Gulp.
Vano placed the bottle of mineral water roughly on the table to make a loud noise. This makes Ben and Gino focus shifted to Vano who is now having a chest.
"So, how's the villa going?" Ask Vano.
"We'll check the location first!" Answer Gino.
"Electable refreshing. Yeah right?" Ben Timpal.
"Yo'i! Bro!" Ben and Gino are rial now.
"How many days?" Ask Vano.
Ben and Gino looked at each other before answering Vano's question. "Sunday!"
"No! Just day!" Vano's reply was so annoying for Ben and Gino.
"If it was a day, how many days did it take?!" Upset Gino.
"Just ask!" Reply Vano.
"No! It should be a week! What just a day! Just came straight home!" Reject Ben.
"A day!"
"Sunday!"
"A day!"
"Sunday!"
"Fix 3 days!" Gino is the mediator for both.
"Tomorrow to leave!"

After meeting with several other businessmen, Vano did not move from his seat in the meeting room. His father who was leading the meeting did not move from his seat. As if she knew if there was anything her son wanted to talk about.
An awkward atmosphere was created from earlier. Finally, Rendra took the initiative to open the conversation. Because if no one starts, then the awkward atmosphere between father and son will continue.
"What's Van? Tumben once you were still in the meeting room?" Ask Rendra. Although his relationship with Vano has been less familiar since the incident, he has always wanted to interact with Vano. But Vano's attitude is what makes Rendra annoyed.
Vano has always been self-limiting. He doesn't want to open up. Behave as he pleases. Always thought himself right. Imperious. Whether it was because he inherited it or not. But Rendra doesn't feel as over as Vano.
"This time. Help me, Pa. Help me find Aileen," said Vano, staring at her papa with a flat gaze.
"Well, didn't Papa hear me wrong? You're asking Papa for help? Why don't you just use your power to find Papa's son-in-law, hm?" Rendra's reply was not at all good for Vano.
"Papa himself knows if I'm far below Papa. And Papa don't dodge. Vano is very confident that Papa knows the whereabouts of Aileen," said Vano flat.
"Ahh! If you guys are a match, you'll definitely meet."
"Do you know anything about a mate?"
"Hey Son! Be polite to your Papa! You must remember that Papa played a big role in your matchmaking!"
Vano rolled his eyes lazily. "Indeed. But it doesn't make me feel indebted. That's what parents do for their children's happiness!"
"Why are you so chatty? Is it because of your baby? Ouh Papa can't wait to hold the grandchild."
"Therefore....say where is Aileen?"
"Find it yourself there. Love must be fought for. You should need more effort for that little family of yours!" Rendra said wisely. But that doesn't sound wise at all to Vano's hearing.
"Love? The family? You know what else Papa's got on that?" Cetus Vano's.
It made Rendra sigh heavily. "You still haven't forgiven Papa?"
Vano simply eluded me staring in the other direction.
"Silent means yes. Do you have no intention of forgiving Papa at all? It's long gone."
"What, because it's long gone, means that mistakes should be forgotten? Didn't he? That's right!"
"So you can tell him, right? Aileen hasn't come back because she hasn't forgiven you? Mistakes are not easily forgiven! Your fault is so obsessed with Aileen. Jeez even Papa still does not think you collect photos of your wife since smp! You are different from a kid your age!"
Vano just silently digested it. Also true. Like Vano who has a hard time forgiving his papa. It must have been so with Aileen that it was hard to forgive herself.
"Easy! Isn't tomorrow you and your friend will check the location in Bandung? You better pack up!" Said Rendra which made Vano have a glimmer of hope.
Vano understood the signal from his papa's words. And is in Bandung, Vano going to meet Aileen? But what is it? Bandung is broad. But Vano will try. As much as possible for his little family. He will keep his family. That's certain.
"Thanks Pa!" Vano hugged his papa for the first time in years. It made Rendra smile. The hug he missed had returned he felt. A hug from his only child.
