"You take it easy, Abian. You don't have to worry about that. Haikal's a good guy and I'm sure he won't have the heart to separate your daughter from you."
Gavin was not aware of what he had just said.
"Where do you know he's good? Do you know him?" abian exclaimed instantly to wake Gavin up if he had just slipped.
For the name, Abian had said before that the man who was approaching his small family was called Haikal. But to his confusion, Gavin can conclude that Haikal is a good man. Does Gavin know him?
Gavin was silent for a while. Before he chose to be honest.
"The man you've been telling me all this time is approaching Aruna, it's Haikal's cousin. And I just found out yesterday."
Gavin's statement was shocking. To make Abian's iris widen.
"Please explain to me what you mean? Have you been on that guy's side and pretended to be my listener? That's why you sent someone to give me a job vacancy at your company?"
"No, Abian. I'm not who you're thinking I am. I was surprised to know it as well as you. And I just found out yesterday."
"Can you explain it to me now so that I don't misunderstand you!?"
"Yes, I'll explain it to you."
"Ok, now please explain to me."
"Okay, so it's like this"
"Excuse me ..." The arrival of a restaurant waiter delivering food cuts out Gavin's sentence.
Gavin had to delay his explanation while the waiter was still there. Abian was impatient to hear Gavin's explanation.
After the servant left, Abian went back to scout Gavin to tell him about it immediately.
"So, Abian. Yesterday my cousin Haikal asked me to buy him medicine at the pharmacy and I bought him. I came to his house early in the morning and it turned out that there was Aruna."
Gavin nodded in confirming.
"You mean Aruna's staying at the guy's house?"
"No, it's not like that. Aruna came there at Haikal's request because Haikal needed help. Yes it may be because Aruna felt that Haikal was like that because he had saved his daughter, your daughter too, so Aruna came and helped him. There, I was quite surprised by his presence. But Haikal explains that Aruna is a friend and mother of the child she saved."
"Surely he just explained if Aruna was his friend?" asked Abian hesitating.
Gavin nodded. Forced to lie even though he was not on anyone's side including his cousin Haikal. It's just that he doesn't want to make things worse if he's telling the truth.
"You're sure your cousin never told you he was approaching a woman and that woman was Aruna?"
Gavin. "He's my cousin, but we're not so close."
"Really?"
"Yes, are you starting to doubt me?"
"I'm just making sure."
"Well, even if Haikal is what you're thinking about right now, trying to get close to Aruna, is that a problem for you? Didn't you say before that you'd be sincere and let Aruna find her happiness even if it wasn't from you."
Abian flinching. What Gavin just said has a point. If he still can not let Aruan approached by other men, it means he can not be sincere. For him it was too fast.
"Yes, you're right, Gavin. Maybe it's time I moved on from Aruna. Most importantly Aruna can be happy. Because I failed to make her happy."
Seeing Abian who was like that, Gavin again could not bear. He tried to divert the conversation by asking Abian to continue eating. Lunch is about to be finished.
