After hearing Luke's decision to come back to Indonesia, Salwa brought Lukas shopping at the mall. He pulled the man to try out various suits that would be worn to meet the Kardinata family.

"Try this one." Pinta Salwa gives Luke a suit to try.

"Where about this one?" The rose again after Luke came out in another garment.

"I think it's cool!" Take the other one. "This too!" Overtaking his hands on clothes that other customers will take. "Sorry!" He turned his body towards the locker room. "Well! It's good too." Grabbing everything that depends and taking him to the dressing room where Lukas is.

Bruckk! Luke's voice dropped all the clothes Salwa had given him in the dressing room.

"Why?" Ask Salwa. "Don't you like it?" Pick up the clothes Luke dropped on the floor.

"You're making me tired!" Luke was upset.

"Sorry.., I'm too excited." Salwa.

"What are you anyway? Use it tell me to try all this." Luke's Sahut. "These clothes wound me almost open, satisfied!" The connection made Salwa bow in front of Luke. He pulled Luke's shirt up. "What do you want?" Luke asked, shaking Salwa's hand.

"I want to check the wound." Salwa answered, grabbed the shirt back and found the bandage wrapped around Luke's bloody stomach. "The wound is bleeding." Looking to Lukas.

"That's right! Did I say." His reprimand that Salwa greeted by taking off the clothes worn by Luke. "You want to nga--"

"- Change the bandage." Cut off Salwa who managed to strip Luke of his clothes until only a bandage was left wrapped around his stomach. "Why not go to the hospital?" Ask Salwa who from the beginning got a refusal from Luke not to take him to the hospital. "I'm afraid the wound is okay because it doesn't get treatment directly from the doctor." It is clear to open the bandage and replace it with a new one.

Half an hour later they both went down using an escalator with two grocery bags.

"Where?" Luke asked shortly after the two left the mall. "Do I look like Luhan?" Rotating his body in front of Salwa shows a blazer combined with jeans.

"The face is yes." Answer Salwa. "But the way you dress is completely different." Reciprocity.

"really?"

"Hm." Salwa Sahut. "God is more formal while you're much more relaxed." Evidently. "But not pa-pa." Tidying up the blazer that Luke wore. "This way I know how to tell you apart." Look at Luke.

"Where are we going now?" Ask Lukas.

"Airport." Salwa answered looking for a taxi around the front of the mall.

"Not a port." Luke's Sahut. "I'm where it might be bi-" Luke said interrupted by a passport on behalf of Luhan that Salwa had removed from his backpack. "-Well! You've really prepared everything from the beginning." Lukas received his passport in Salwa's hands.

During the trip to the airport Salwa introduced one by one the Luhan family members to Luke. Introductions started from David Kardinata, Luhan's father.

"David Kardinata." Luke. "I've heard it." Reciprocity.

"Have my In-laws ever bought a product you made?" Salwa asked looking at Luke who was also looking at her. "True ever." Connect Salwa who then pulls the ipad staring at David's photo. "The rich do know how to waste u---"

"- She's not one of the clients I've got." Cut Luke back the ipad in Salwa's hand. "When or not I don't know either." Reciprocity.

"That means you've heard his name for sure from here, right?" Slide over David's photo and display the company's image of the Imperial Group.

"Emperial." Luke sees Salwa who then explains everything about David and tells him slowly about the Imperial group. After explaining at length the width Salwa turned to other family members.

"Rose?"

"Yup! Rose Camellia. The woman you met at the villa that day."

"Oh."

"He's a pianist and wife of David Kardinata." Then Salwa showed me a portrait of Rose and David.

"Is this woman blaster?"

"It's true that his mother is Indonesian and his father is a French pianist." Answer Salwa. "I heard Rose inherited a winery there. And reportedly the venture was taken care of by their other sons." Obviously Salwa showed me pictures of Rose playing the piano.

"Yes." Yeah." Salwa answered, raising her face. "Twin brother." Seeing Lukas.

"Twin?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Salwa.

"Then why didn't you call her?" Ask Lukas. "And ask him to help chaos in the Imperial group." Lukas Clearly.

"You're asking Yohan for help?"

"Yohan?" Asked Luke who had vaguely heard that name before.

"Yohan Kardinata Luhan's twin brother." Salwa answered showing her picture. "The reason why I didn't call him for help is-" he said, looking at Lukas.

"-Didn't he have a face similar to your Luhan?" Luke asked.

"No!" Answer Salwa. "They are very similar." shifted the 10-year-old portrait of Yohan and Luhan to Luke's.

"Then?"

"I've never met him." Answer Salwa.

"Didn't he come when you got married?" Ask Luke who was returned to his head by Salwa. "Can't you?"

"Yohan has not been to Indonesia since he was taken to France." Answer Salwa.

"French?"

"Yes." Yeah." Salwa Sahut. "I heard Rose was an only child. His father was hoping that his daughter would become a world-famous pianist. But Rose's encounter with David shattered Dad's dream. Rose's father disapproved of her marriage to David. There was conflict between two big families. One day the twins were born and Rose's father decided to take one of the twins to France. With a heavy heart David gave Yohan to France with Rose's father's family. Yohan grew up and became a pianist there. He never returned to Indonesia though. Instead it was Rose and David who came to visit her to France if they missed her." Salwa's story to Luke until both are in the plane seat.

"Truly a strange wealthy family." Luke's Sahut.

"I also thought the same as you when I first heard that story." Sahut Salwa shows a photo of David and Rose with her twins picking wine.

"So, what's Yohan doing there?" Ask Lukas.

"Last I heard the man runs his grandfather's winery and vineyard." The answer. "When I ask for help, I don't think he can help either." Salwa turned to Luke.

"Why? Is there something on my face?" Ask Luke who is leaning beside Salwa.

"Hm." Answer Salwa. "There's my husband's face on yours." The connection that made Luke cluck and turned his face from Salwa looked at the window of the plane. "Lord!" Call Salwa and then a few seconds pass.

"Did you miss your husband?" Luke asked, looking at Salwa.

"No!" Answer Salwa.

"Why did you suddenly call him?"

"I'm practicing calling you by that name." He answered while looking at Luke's face. "Initially I thought that you were Yohan when I first met." He noticed the details of Luke's face. "Eh?" Salwa unknowingly discovers Luke's eyeball color is different from Luhan's.

"Why?" Luke asked to see Salwa's reaction on his face.

"Are you wearing a soft lens?" Salwa asked back with a body that was leaning towards Luke.

"Not." Answer Luke. "Why?"

"You have a different eyeball color than Luhan." Answer Salwa. "I found something that can differentiate the two of you in the future." Evidently.

"Are you still going to see me if your husband wakes up?" Ask Lukas.

"Yes." Yeah." The answer. "God should thank you for helping to replace him during his coma." Evidently. "And when that day comes you must stop being a criminal." Salwa Resolute. "If not I'll drag you behind the cell." His whisper made Luke cluck while turning his face away from Salwa. "Lord, did you hear that?" Call Salwa to Luke who now closes his ears. "Lord!" Call Salwa again and again.
