a decision
The twins Caleb and Chloe's first birthday celebration is over. Ben had also cleaned up his equipment and had been brought home by his assistant.
Faith approached Ben who was sitting while enjoying his coffee.
"Make it up, Ben. I'm so happy today, my son's birthday celebration and Joe's proposal to Rachel is going well."
Ben looked at the woman beside him. Her face looked motherly. She looks even more mature with her current makeup.
"You're beautiful, Faith"
"You've been saying it since you first came"
Ben chuckles. Honestly, if he wanted to admit, he had thought about kidnapping Faith from her husband Ezekiel. But seeing how their love struggles, Ben now just wants to be a friend for the couple.
"Who's the girl, Ben?" ask Faith.
"Which girl?"
"Who will marry you. I was curious when you said that the girl didn't even know she was going to marry you"
"I met him by accident. And it just so happened that mommy wanted to set me up with her"
"You agree because you like him or...?"
"You know it's hard to fall in love with a woman."
"Ben, marriage is not a toy. At least let you know first just decided to get married"
"My status as a play boy made him never like me. She is different from most girls I know. My appeal doesn't even work for him" Ben smiled wryly.
"So, are you in love with her or just obsessed with conquering her?"
Ben shook his head "Maybe, not both"
"Aishis...Ben, don't get married if it's just a game. Did you see for yourself how Ezekiel and I had to pass the tough test to get out of our wedding game?" Faith's a little upset.
"She's a girl from Indonesia...."
"Is it because he's Indonesian that you're interested in? It's not about a...."
"You've been a brother to me, Faith. I'm not gonna change our destiny" Ben cut out Faith's words.
Faith smiled happily. Ezekiel appeared among them.
"Darling, the kids are sleeping in the car. Let's go home.." take her.
Faith nodded. After they say goodbye to Ben, the couple leave. Ben took a deep breath. After finishing his coffee, he left the building.

Maura who just finished changing clothes grabbed her cellphone which sounded. I was surprised to see the name Crazy Man.
What's he calling me?
"Call..." Maura finally picked up the phone from Ben.
"Hi...have you slept?"
"Yes. You're really disturbing" Maura pretended to be lying.
"sorry. I just want to make sure you're okay. May you be more careful ahead."
"Makasi Ben"
"I'm in front of your house"
"Huh...? What are you doing there?"
"Kangen just wants to see you"
"Ih. You know it won't work and it won't be possible. I'm getting married"
"Can't be married. So I still have a chance."
"Ben, I'm sleepy. Yea...." Maura ends her conversation with Ben. He put his cellphone and laid his body on the bed after it turned off his room lights.
Suddenly the phone rang again. Without seeing who called him Maura picked him up.
"Ben, I told you I was sleepy"
"Who's Ben?"
The deg...!
Maura was surprised because it was Alan's voice.
"Who's Ben?" there was Alan's voice speaking even louder.
"Alan, I'm going to bed"
"Are you now related to another man?"
"I love you, Maura. I was so scared of losing you. Why don't you come and listen to my explanation?" alan's voice sounded frustrated.
"I'm busy bye...." Maura immediately broke into the conversation. He even deactivated his phone.
"Alan.I still have a pain imagining you and Kelly making love at that time" Maura muttered and laid her body again. He hugged his pillow trying to find peace for his night's sleep. But what he remembers is the incident yesterday when Ben kissed and stroked his thigh.
Ah. I must be crazy. Why am I imagining that? Maura patted her own head.
Meanwhile in front of Maura's house, Ben still parked his car there. He looked at the magnificent house with a smile.
He himself did not understand why he had to come to this house.

Alicia was surprised to see her son return to the mansion tonight.
"Ben are you sick? Tumben's coming home" said Alicia.
Ben just smiled. She hugged her mother and then approached her father who was watching TV.
"Hallo, dad" she said as she sat next to her papa.
Bryan Aslon looked at his son for a moment. "You got a problem?"
"Come, dad. I'm just confused"
Alicia who was sitting in front of her 2 favorite men smiled "Fuddled why?"
"What if the wedding is postponed?"
"Ben, are you crazy? The preparation is almost 100%. The invitation has already begun to be shared. You want to embarrass mommy and daddy? Who wants this wedding to be done quickly? You're alone ? Never withdraw from your own words. So the man must have responsibility" Alicia immediately reacted to the words of her son. His voice immediately shrill high making Ben and his papa slightly close their ears.
"Ben, daddy and mommy used to be betrothed as well. But because we both held the commitment of marriage, trying to get to know each other, we ended up loving each other. And the three of you were born" Bryan said, patting his son on the shoulder.
Ben took a deep breath. Retreating is useless, too
"All right.I'm sorry, mom. Only if you can not use the live broadcast again, right? I don't want any journalists at our wedding. Can you, mom?"
Alicia nodded despite the fact that she had prepared for Ben's wedding to be covered live by one of the Aslon family's TV stations.
Ben immediately headed to his room. Room that he rarely occupied. He lay down his body while staring at the ceiling of his room, while imagining Maura's face.
Can I fall in love again? Beyond the love I once had for Faith? Or is Maura just an obsession that after I get it I will release like the girls who have been close to me?

Maura's face stiffened slightly when she saw Kelly and Alan coming to her house this morning.
"What's wrong?" maura asked a bit sadistically while sitting on the sofa. He did not even allow the 2 people to sit.
Kelly directly hit Maura's body and rested on her feet.
"Ra, I'm sorry. I'm sorry "his crying broke right away.
Maura could not bear to see Kelly who rested on her feet.
"Wake up, don't be like this. I've forgiven you"
Kelly won't stand. He was still resting at Maura's feet "Don't be mad at Alan, Ra. I teased him. I gave him some drinking water that I had mixed with stimulants. I'm sorry, Ra. I'm a bitch...."
Maura pulled Kelly's body so that her friend was now sitting next to her.
"Don't insult yourself. That's not good."
Alan looked at Maura "I beg you, Ra. Go back to the club. The kids wanted to take that race. But it won't work if you don't exist."
Maura looked down "I can't. I promised my dad I'd stop". Maura refuses to tell her about her marriage.
"Ra, I'd be out of the club if I was the one who blocked it" Kelly said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm also ready to leave the club if I'm a deterrent." Alan also spoke.
Maura is still tight-lipped. He was confused as to what to say.
"I. You two don't stop because without you the club is useless. I'll try to talk to my papa"
Kelly smile. He hugged Maura "Thank you, Ra. The kids would love to hear this"
"And Alan. I want us to be friends. So that everything will go well".
Alan looked at Maura with an uneasy look. But for the sake of the club he has to hold back a little bit of his ego.
"Alright, Ra. if that's what you want" Alan said with a faint face. This time I relented, but until now I will never let you go Maura Belinda. Alan said in his heart.
