Since coming home from the hospital Rio's face was moody. He usually likes to disturb his sister. But now he is more silent. Rara asked him to speak, not too he responded.
Arriving at the house Rio walked ahead of his parents and also Ria.
"What's the matter?" Tanya mami Daniel who was astonished to see her granddaughter walking with gontai then sat next to her oma.
"Don't want to be with Nana." Rio said listlessly.
"Where who?" Ask Daniel's mother again while looking at Daniel and Rara.
"The son of Ardi mi." Answer Daniel.
"Oh his wife has given birth. Then why brother?" Said Daniel's mother who still did not understand the change in her usual cheerful grandson's face now even moody.
"Abang wants Ardi's son to be brought home too." Rara said while chuckling.
"Oah. Kirain oma. Tomorrow's Samperin's the baby's sister." Said Daniel's mother with a smile.
"His name is not the baby sister of oma, but Nana." Said Rio firmly while pursing his lips.
"Yes Nana." Her oma said chuckling.
"Yes had a shower there. Let's see you feed the fish again."
The twins followed his oma and walked up the stairs to their room.
"How's Eric doing? Didn't you guys find out from his family where he was?" Ask mami Daniel.
"Eric broke contact with us mi. Daniel had also come to his office many times and asked with brother Edo. But the answer remains the same. They can't tell me where Eric lives now." Daniel said with a sad face.
He really misses his best friend. If he was Eric, he would do the same.
"Mommy's sure she'll be fine. Maybe this is the life path she must pass to meet someone who has been prepared for her in the future." Mommy Daniel said wisely.

In another part of the world, there was a handsome man who was very charming. His face was full of charisma. It's just that he's cold, indifferent, assertive not even caring about every woman he meets. Even the women in her office worship the good looks of their leaders. But it was a pity that his cold demeanor was able to freeze his surroundings as well as anyone who dared to look for trouble with him.
He was standing behind the window of his office. See the city of Manila during the day. Attention is sidetracked
When I hear a knock.
"Excuse me, Mr. Eric, in 15 minutes there will be a meeting." Antonio said his secretary.
"Prepare the material." Eric Strictly.
"I'll do it." And Antonio
get out of his boss room.
Yes, that Eric Raharsya. Friends of Daniel, David, and Ardi. Who choose to live far from Indonesia, precisely in the Philippines. He chose to stay away from everything, away from the pain of his past by opening a new leaf in another country.
Only his father and brothers knew of his whereabouts. He completely shut off access for his best friend. It's not an easy thing to forget. But living a life without the shadows of the past it must be.
To avoid having relationships with women, Eric prefers his secretary to a man. But make no mistake, he's still a normal guy. He also wants a family. But not now. He still wants to make his life a mess.
It is not without reason why Eric chose the city of Manila as where he lives now. It is for the first and foremost reason in this city that papa and his mama meet for the first time and fall in love with each other. Eric was hoping he could find his ribs in this town, too.
So far his company has started to grow rapidly under his leadership. Many agencies from the entertainment world as well as artists, top models who work with his company.
Eric glanced at his watch, it was time for him to attend the meeting. He stepped with great dignity. Any employee who crosses paths with him will surely bow respectfully and be afraid to look him in the face.
A silent voice was instantaneous as Eric stepped inside the meeting room and took his place. Eric coded Antonio to lead the meeting immediately and asked the production manager to reveal their new product. Meetings are also attended by marketing managers and financial managers.
Eric nodded his head as he listened to the exposure about the new product.
"Stop it !" Eric's orders when the production manager explained about the product model that they will launch on the market this season.
"Are you kidding me? You said that it's a new product? (Are you playing with me? Did you say it was a new product?) " Task Eric in a very firm tone of voice.
To make all who are present there silent. Including the production manager.
"Do you think I don't know if the product was launched 5 years ago??!!" Eric threw the proposal he had in his hand onto the table. The shock made everyone come back shocked and scared.
"I just led this company. But don't you think I don't know anything about everything that's going on here." Eric continued firmly.
"Change designer!" Eric's Word.
"But Tuan–" Gets a sharp gaze from Eric making the production manager choose to follow the orders of his superiors.
"Good sir." He did not dare to argue anymore.
"I want within 30 minutes of now, a new proposal and a new designer name are on my desk." Eric said with great emphasis in every sentence. Then he went from there back to his room.
Eric sat behind the table loosening his tie. He unbuttoned his arm and rolled the two up to the elbow. Eric leaned against the back of the chair. His current job turned out to be more difficult than he had imagined. If he did not intervene to supervise directly, then all the products they launched would be garbage on the market.
Eric doesn't like that. Because from before
Eric likes what he calls perfection.
Antonio came in with the production manager. Then sit on the couch as Eric told you. He submitted a new proposal according to what Eric had requested.
Eric read every sentence listed there while nodding his head. Then his activities stopped when he read the name of the designer proposed by the production.
"Cintia Bellas?" Eric's Mumbles. He was no stranger to that name. Even when calling it his name alone made Eric's heart rustle warm.
"Why should this designer?" Ask Eric.
"Because only he's fit for our fashion products sir."
"What else do you know about this designer?" Eric asked back.
"He is one of the most famous designers in the world. He often moved from one country to another. Because he has his boutique branches in almost every country he lives in. His name is Bell's Boutique. But for her main fashion house, she only had it in the country. The name of the fashion house is Bellaric."
Eric gasped when the production manager mentioned Bellaric.
"Bellaric?"
