Arriving at the apartment, Mala was greeted by Arthur at the door, the man commented with a smile as Mala walked into the apartment.
"You haven't slept?" Mala asked as she took off her shoes.
"I'm waiting for you." Said Arthur.
"Rest sir, tomorrow your schedule is very busy."
Mala passes Arthur and immediately goes into his room, his mood is not good, he chooses to avoid Arthur before Arthur makes his mood worse.
Arthur looked at Mala with a confused face, not usually the girl passed him without permission.
"Did something happen?" Inner Arthur.
Mala threw her tiny body on the bed, her eyes closed but her mind ran everywhere, her curiosity of the safe girl with her grew bigger.
"I have to ask Sir Arthur before my head explodes out of curiosity?"
Mala took his clothes and toiletries, he would take a bath first before asking Arthur.
Tok.tokkc..
Mala knocked on Arthur's door, and it opened shortly.
"Can I take a shower?" Mala.
"Come in." Arthur invites Mala to enter, after the girl enters he closes the door and sits back on his bed. Arthur glanced at Mala at a glance as the girl was about to enter the bathroom, then he grabbed his laptop and finished his work again.
Ten minutes passed, Mala came out of the bathroom in a long nightgown and a towel wrapped around her wet hair.
With doubt Mala approached Arthur who was still struggling with his laptop. Seeing Mala watching him Arthur immediately closed his laptop and put it back on the nightstand next to his bed. He changed his sitting position so that he now sits on the edge of the bed.
"Sit down." Arthur patted the bed right next to him.
According to Mala, he sat next to Arthur. But his throat seemed choked, he hesitated to ask Arthur.
"What's up, say it?" Arthur said as he looked down at Mala's face.
"Sir.pardon me in advance if I am presumptuous to ask this."
"Say."
"Didn't you remember the moment the fire happened?" Mala said carefully, she was afraid that her question would offend Arthut.
"No, I forgot everything."
"Mmm, then do you have a sister?"
"Have. Didn't you meet Leah." Arthur misinterpreted Mala's question.
"I mean brothers born of the same mother."
"No, I'm an only child. What was? Why are you asking me about my sister?"
"I just want to know. Sorry for being so sassy. It's night, you better take a break." Mala stands up from her seat and intends to get out of Arthur's room.
His hand had not touched the doorknob as another hand hugged him from behind. Mala was surprised the girl dropped her toiletries and dirty clothes.
"When are you going to give me an answer?" Arthur's Tag.
"Sir, I didn't promise to answer as soon as possible, did I? If you can't wait better take this ring and give it to the girl who's faster for you."
Arthur twisted Mala's body, he held Mala's chin and raised it slightly so that Mala's face was clearly visible. Arthur swept every inch of Mala's face with his gaze.
Mala was silent, she could not answer Arthur's question. Not because of an illness that makes Mala reluctant to accept Arthur's proposal, he just wants to make sure whether Arthur and himself have a relationship in the past. Mala wants to know if the fire that killed Arthur's mother was a fire that killed both parents. If that's true, it doesn't mean they were killed. Mala wanted to investigate all that, after all it was clear maybe Mala would give an answer to Arthur.
"Rest, you must be tired." Arthur chose to give up, he did not want to force Mala to immediately accept his proposal. Arthur stroked Mala's face, then he kissed Mala's head in love.
Undeniably, Mala can not refuse every touch that gives Arthur to him, he began to feel comfortable when with Arthur, even Mala no longer feel the loss of Rey, Rey, he began to feel comfortable when with Arthur, because for him Arthur who now almost resembles Rey.

Main house of Bagaskara Group..
After dinner together, Mr. Raymon was relaxing on the balcony of his room with his mother Wulan. The two sat side by side and enjoyed the night air that was not too cold.
"Mas." Call mama Wulan gently.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Raymond turned his head and noticed the look on his wife's happy face.
"Arthur has proposed to Mala. I'm so happy, Arthur finally opened his heart to a girl."
"Applying? How do you know that?" Mr. Raymon frowned, he did not think that Arthur really loved Mala and even rose. Mr. Raymon thinks Mala is just Arthur's girlfriend.
"I came to Arthur's office this morning and overheard this happy news."
"Did the girl accept it?" Ask Mr. Raymon.
"Yet, Mala has not answered. Though I've been so excited, I've imagined fondling grandchildren mas." Mama Wulan started to dream.
"Why did you love Arthur so much, he wasn't your real son, he didn't even accept you back then." Said Mr. Raymon while looking at his wife, he wanted to hear the answer to what his wife would say.
"He's my son even though we're not blood related. Then let it pass, but now Arthur can accept me as his mother."
"Why do I love him?" Mama Wulan repeated her husband's question.
"Somewhere, from the beginning I felt good about her. She was only 12 when her mother died. And after learning of his dark childhood made me feel even more compassion, that's where I started to love Arthur and think of him as my own son."
"Mas, why did you just shut up when Lidya treated Arthur like a..."
"Stop, I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Sleep is night." Cut Mr. Raymon before Mama Wulan continues his sentence. He stood up and went into the room, leaving his wife sitting outside.
Mr. Raymon goes to his study, he sits in his chair. The middle-aged man looked at the drawer on his desk, then turned the key and opened it. His wrinkled hands grabbed a piece of photo from inside the drawer. Mr. Raymon looked at the photo with a sad face. He rubbed a picture of himself and his late wife, in the middle of them there was a picture of a toddler in pink clothes.
Mr. Raymon took a deep breath when his memory suddenly surfed a dozen years ago.
"I shouldn't remember that anymore. I'm sorry dady son."
Tok.shock.
The sound of knocking on the door ended Mr. Raymon's long daydream, he immediately put the photo back in place.
"Lake in."
A person in black clothes walked in and faced Mr. Raymon.
"What's wrong?" Sir Raymon asked flatly, he grabbed the cigar and sucked it.
"There's someone who's looking for the tape as well sir, I think it's Young Master's man." His men gave a report.
"Quick find Karto and find the tape, before Arthur or Rafli find it. Arthur can't see the tape."
SERIATE...
