Aaron went into his room immediately. The teenager immediately took a bath, washed his hair and dried it again. Then lay down on the bed. He still had a laugh imagining Archie's cute face. Archie pouted and glared at him, because of the bad lump he made on the Pastel.
He had already forgotten his curiosity for Velina. Because in Aaron's mind, Velina was the son or nephew of one of the servants. Aaron fell asleep, without realizing that the clock had shown at five and forty-five in the afternoon. Within thirty minutes, he had to gather into the dining room.
Archie and Anna enter Aaron's room without knocking on the door. And they were astonished to see Aaron falling asleep. Aaron's face pointed towards the sky of the room, while his mouth was open. Archie and Anna looked at each other and smiled cunningly.

Adelaide was able to breathe normally after inhaling pure oxygen. He smiled back. Adel touched Diana's hand and asked the woman who gave birth to her, to no longer be tense.
"Mommy..pardon Adel yes, it has made mommy worried again" said Adel gently.
"Oh son. No need to apologize, son. With you struggling, mommy is happy." Diana said as she stroked Adel's hair.
"Mommy...why is Adel so weak and always bothering mommy?" adel guman.
"Darling, you've never troubled mommy."
"But, Adel always makes momy panic. Adel can't be as agile as Anna and as sweet as Velina. Adel... Adell's..." Adel's breathing returned to tightness as his emotions rose and fell.
"Adel Shhsttt. If there is no Adel, then mommy will be lonely. Who is going to accompany Mommy? Your other brother has his own busy life. Only sweet Adel is loyal to mommy." said Diana softly.
"All your brothers, have their own busyness and talents. Take a look at Adel, although studying at home, but very smart is not it? Even the painting guy. Hmmm. mommy just envied Adel. Mommy can't do anything." comfort Diana while stroking her daughter's hair.
"Ih mommy. Mommy was great. Mommy is patient, can be some foreign language, good at making cakes and good at caring for children, husband is also a plant." Adel praised his mother.
"Hahhaha yes. Well, if Adel doesn't remind, mommy forgot lohhh."
Adel blushed at Diana's praise. The two of them continued to talk and flatter each other. Due to Adel's weak physique, Diana is automatically closer to Adel. They are like friends who exchange ideas. Adel though only ten years old, but he's a smart kid and more mature than his age.
As they were conversing, Maria walked in with the neat-looking Velina. Velina approached Adel and Diana then sat down on the bed of Adel.
"Gee... Velina's been bathing, fragrant huh. That flour didn't get in the eye, did it?" ask Diana.
"No aunt." replied Velina gently.
"Velina played with Adel first yaa. Auntie wants to check the kitchen first."
"Yes aunty." said Velina kindly.
Diana smiled leaving the two children only one year apart. It had been several times that Diana had brought Velina to the mansion. However, only this time did Velina stay until the afternoon and stay overnight.
Diana never forgot Velina. Although Andrew forbade her to adopt Velina, but Diana always sent special funds for the girl. Diana takes care of him through Couple Ron who is responsible for the well-being of the orphanage children.
Velina stays in school like any other orphanage child, at a state school. The girl grew up beautiful and clever. Diana pleads with Ron's partner to adopt Velina as their child. Because in the depths of her heart, she was not willing if Velina was adopted by someone else. Diana did not want Velina to be detached from her tutelage.
Andrew, knowing Diana's deeds, did not forbid her. She simply begged that Velina always wear covered clothes and not show off the tattoo on her shoulder. The tattoo became more and more obvious as Velina aged. Andrew was still worried about Velina's origin.

In Aaron's room, Archie and Anna seem busy pranking Aaron. They had already quietly walked into Diana's room and picked up the makeup tools. Anna had put headphones into Aarron's ears, singing Aaron's favorite song.
While with gentle movements they began to apply makeup on Aaron's face. Putting natural colors on Aaron's face. Incised a bright red lipstick. Not enough of that. Anna ran to her room and took a hair tie. He ponytailed Aarron's front hair in half.
Archie and Anna seem happy to succeed in pranking Aaron, which often makes them both annoyed by his ugliness. Anna's taking Aaron's phone. Making makeup on Aaron's face and making it a wallpapper.
Having satisfied. Archie and Anna exit Aaron's room slowly while turning off the music in I tunes.
The two mischievous children then entered Adel's room. They talked and exchanged stories with Velina. How was the excitement at the orphanage.

Conrad who had just finished renting a flat immediately went home to the mansion and said his point to Diana. Diana was surprised to hear Conrad's wish. Because until Conrad was twenty years old, he was never far from his mother.
"Does it have to be like that? Aren't you going to come back here again?" diana asked sadly.
"Of course I'll be back. My family is here. I would only occasionally stay in a flat. Mommy would understand what I mean. I just want to get to know Ruby" Conrad said pleading.
"You like that girl so much?" ask Diana.
"Hmmm... Ruby looks like mommy." Conrad put his head in Diana's lap. They are currently in the upstairs living room.
"Do you know him well?"
Conrad shakes.
"He was too quiet and closed. But I like her attitude that looks as gentle as mommy." Conrad said looking at her mother's face.
"Honey.... You're all grown up and you're getting to know women. You have to remember not always people who look alike mean their nature is the same. And not always a good-looking person must be good, and vice versa not always a bad-looking person means he is evil." Diana advises her son.
Diana's life when she worked on a cruise ship, by communicating over seventy nationalities, with various traits and customs. From there, Diana understood that what seemed outside was not necessarily the same as the contents of her heart. Sometimes appearances outwit personality.
"You know mommy?"
"Hmmm...?"
"You're absolutely right with daddy. He says the same thing if appearances don't always show the heart."
"Hahhaha really?"
"Ah. I want to find the right partner like Daddy to find mommy" Conrad murmured.
"You'll find him. Always pray in everything. But honestly, mommy salut loh, Conrad wants to learn humble and independent. Hope you find the right woman for you."
Conrad smiled happily at Diana's advice.

At this hour, Andrew and Conrad must have returned to the Mansion. And usually they will gather, talk and joke in the dining room, until exactly seven o'clock at night. Dinner will be provided, as Andrew sits with them.
"Come Velina, join us. You can sit next to me." take Adelaide.
"But I'm ashamed of you guys. I'd better be with the waiter in the kitchen." declined Velina.
"Eh. don't. You're our friend." said Archie.
"Yes. Come already. You can sit between me and Adel. Aman." added Anna.
"I'm..." Little Velina hesitated. This was the first time he had been with them. Their kindness made Velina moved. But, he still knew himself if he was just a guest. And she can be like the time of the oni because of the kindness of the hostess, their mother. It was inappropriate for Velina to feel, if she suddenly stepped out.
"We'll just go out first. We heard what mommy said." said Archie.
"Or we can accompany Velina to eat in the kitchen together. I also often have lunch with them in the kitchen." Anna was excited.
"The Betul said Archie. Let's ask mommy first." added Adelaide.
"Let's wake Aaron's brother." Archie blinked his eyes at Anna.
Anna fretting. The twin brothers joined hands out of Anna's room. Arriving in front of Aaron's room they perform music on the door while yel-yel right Aaron.
"dukkkkkkkkk..Brother Aaron. dukk...duk."
"Sir Aaron's handsome, wake up donggg. Let's have dinnermmmm." cried Anna in a soft voice.
"Yes, I'm awake." said Aaron Dadi in the room. She was still sitting on the edge of the bed and wriggling as the voices of Anna and Archie called out to her again.
"Sister ayooo fast time to eat. Daddy sudaj come lohhh." Anna shouted loudly.
"I'm comin!!!" yelled Aaron again.
Outside the room Adel and Velina noticed Archie and Anna's strange behavior.
"Let's just why. I'll be down later too."
adel.
"Ah right. Let's just go down Archie." Anna blinked her eyes.
"We're going downstairs."
The five of them met Diana in the dining room.
"Mommy, is Velina going to have dinner with us?" asked Adel who was always sitting by Diana's side.
"of course. Velina sit where you like. We are all your friends." Diana said warmly.
Embarrassed, Velina sat down by Adel's side.
Before long the newly arrived Andrew had already taken off his suit and replaced his shoes with a sliper. He sat at the very end of the table as the head of the family. Diana preferred to sit beside Andrew rather than occupy the far end of the table.
"Andrews. It's Velina." Diana introduced them.
"Good night, Mr. Andrew. Introduce me Velina." Velina stood up and nodded her head greeting Andrew.
"Sit down Velina."
"Thank you sir." Velina said respectfully.
"Call you, anyway?" whispered Adel.
"Then what should I call you?"
"Uncle dong."
"Ah, shame." said Velina softly.
"Where's Aaron?" asked Andrew who had not seen the presence of his eldest son.
"That just came." point at Archie while giggling.
All turned their heads towards Aaron who had just walked into the dining room with confident steps. They looked at Aaron in surprise. And without being held back their laughter exploded. The dining room became bustling and boisterous seeing Aaron who came in with makeup as well as pigtails two.
Aaron was surprised to see them laughing. He still could not understand the reason his extended family laughed. Dad and Mom laughed too. Aaron sat in the chair right in front of Velina. The teenager waved her hand at the laughing Velina while covering her mouth as was the case with Adel.
Seeing Velina's laughter, Aaron was gobsmacked. This girl's laughter looks so pretty. Her eyes narrowed to form a beautiful scythe round. Aaron likes the expression of ayu's face in front of him. And he did not stop staring at Velina.
While Anna and Archie laughed sambip holding the stomach and tears dripped. Aaron laughed as they laughed. He was still astonished as he glanced at Francesca who was trying to control the laughter.
"Why the hell? what's so funny?" ask Aaron to Francesca.
"Try.. look... look you in the sink." said Francesca as she arranged her laugh.
Aaron Segeta stepped towards the sink. And she screamed in shock at the state she was in.
"Yahoooo!!!! Who dares to prank me???!!!!" shouted Aaron annoyed.
Like no. There's Velina, the beautiful girl Aaron just met. And their first meeting was already in a mess twice. First when Aaron made him take a flour bath and now Aaron's face is like a shapeless ondel-ondel.
Matilda, who had just entered the food, was shocked to hear Aaron's scream. He looked at Aaron and saw Aaron's messy look. As Aaron passed by Matilda, he was about to clean his face. With a loud voice, Matilda said. "Karma nakkk Karma."
Aaron snorted to listen to Matilda's words. Francesca was silent. He was worried that karma would come to him.
