" That's why I didn't tell him Pa. "

" So, Laras also knows ?"

" yes. I used to only ask about the picture of the house that Laras Pa wanted. I hope this is really in line with Laras' expectations. "

" Papa was jealous to hear it Damian. "

" His house still has no furniture Pa. So, I hope Papa and the other elders understand it. " replied Damian while chuckling.

Everyone saw Damian curious.

" Laras really wants to stay with all of you. Therefore he hopes to have a house with many rooms so that he can take you all to stay one roof with us. "

Laras held his mother's arm which seemed to be moved by Larass's wishes.

" Therefore, we, I rather expect all of you to stay here with us later. I myself am very comfortable with the comfort and warmth of this family. Because you know for yourself that I'm an only child and often lonely. Being in the middle of this family I don't feel lonely anymore. "

Astrid held Damiaan proud and also moved.

" Are we also among those who live here ?" chirps Joe. Until getting jotosan dibelannnya by Ruly.

" If you feel that you are still part of this family, of course, "joked Laras.

" Iissshh, Ma'am Laras. Aapaan ngommongnya. " grumbled Joe.

" Thank you, Laras. I'm worried I won't be able to see you after marriage. "

" I will miss you so much until that happens. "

" Eehhmm, but that's the problem. "

Everyone is back to focusing on Damian.

" Wahh Damian has been thinking about children. "

" It seems to have been unboxing this. "goda Bram.

Laras just looked down embarrassed.

" It's not so Pi. I think because Mami Sekar and Mami Cia are pregnant again. So later his children can use the play ground so they do not have to leave the house " replied Damian keki.

Everyone becomes laughing.

" What's next to the gym room for, Damian ?" tanay Astrid's.

" I told him to handle the mall in town X. It even offers the mother's house to be occupied temporarily. But Raka won't. He still wants to be my assistant. "

" Raka still feels indebted to Marco, your Papa Damian" Anggi replied.

" It looks so Auntie. "

" Same with Ryan. Papa has offered to manage the branch office. But Ryan wants to be my assistant." Joe replied.

The elders were already on the balcony joining the others. They announce the results of raapat and any furniture that will be purchased.
