“How many times have I told you to stay away from that woman, what are you doing now?”
Enzo has never been this often to visit his father's office, this is the record for the most. Prabowo Gioto has never left a major decision to his son, such as marriage. Work is another matter, and so is marriage. For him, a marriage that is able to make two families lucky is a business marriage, both parties will be mutually beneficial.
“I'm not at the age to tell Dad everything, I have my own decisions, including marriage,” Enzo said.
These two are the most stubborn men ever, no one wants to give up on each other. Gioto always felt he was the most powerful because he was the head of the family, the whole supreme decision was in his hands. Enzo lived like that, if it wasn't for the mother mediating, they couldn't be like this.
“Do you never learn from the past? You want it to happen again?” ask the Father.
There are various reasons underlying Gioto's highly authoritarian nature. Most of the things that happened in their family, it all started with Enzo. He does not blame the child, he just wants to avoid. He was already very proud of the achievement of the son who exceeded his limits.
The company that he built in such a way, is now very developed and advanced in the hands of the son. He admits it, but sometimes, Enzo still makes some small mistakes. Gioto understood, there is no way someone can be very perfect without the slightest gap. Such things are usually taken advantage of by their business opponents.
In the past, such an event had already happened several times. Business people today never look at feathers and always do anything to get what they want. Gioto just doesn't want things like that to happen in the present.
“Tak all women like him, Liliana is different,” Enzo said.
“You can confirm all that? Last time you said the same thing, look what happened. You won't know if this isn't over, even your regrets aren't over.”
Enzo lowered his head. This time he would agree with the father, but, not with Liliana. The woman was different from the others, so she loved it. Who's the guy who can't like Liliana, and the Eagle?
“Dad just wants to protect Daddy's family, does it look so bad in your eyes?” ask Gioto. There was no clash and also a shout like that, Gioto's gaze softened. Only Enzo was the only one right now, he would be very lost if something happened to his son again.
Past events leave deep wounds for all families. Enzo regretted it the most, because everything that happened was his fault. If only he had not met and fallen in love with the woman, perhaps his sister would still be with them. After all these years, that regret never disappeared from his heart.
“Father just wants the best for you and our family, understand also the feelings of Father,” continued Gioto again.
Then, if this was the case, who would understand his feelings? All of this was also difficult for him, not only to lose, but he was also betrayed. His heart has been frozen ever since. Now, there is a woman who managed to make her heart warm again, but she could not do much. This feeling came up again, after seven years.
“All the evidence already points to Cho Ki-Hoon's family. The police managed to catch the accomplices of the kidnappers, but until now we could not find any trace of the Cho family,” said one of the detectives responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Allisa Ferdinand Gioto.
Allisa's body was buried one week ago, and the abuser was found. Only, the trail of the perpetrator has not been found. Cho Ki-Hoon is a South Korean businessman who wants to work with the Gioto family company, but Prabowo Gioto refuses.
There is no specific reason for the rejection, Gioto just felt that it did not comply with the requirements proposed
cho Ki-Hoon. Then the man used his daughter to trap Enzo, all of which worked, because Enzo easily got into the trap. Then Allisa is the victim of Cho Ki-Hoon's heartache over her father's rejection.
All of that was the conclusion of the case, and the accomplice who was caught had said everything he knew. At first Enzo did not believe what was happening before him, but now when he remembered what was happening, he became more and more convinced. He had just betrayed the woman he loved so much, even Enzo almost proposed to him.
“I will prove if Liliana is different from him,” Enzo said.
After saying that sentence, he immediately walked out of his father's study. He also did not want the same mistake to happen again, but this time, his heart said that Liliana was different. He was sure like that, because he already liked Liliana, and did not want to get rid of that feeling.

“So where's your fiance? You don't want to know us, or are you afraid she's in love with me?” asked Dimitri with amusement.
Dimitri has decided to extend his visit to Germany a little, after all, all the work he has also monitored through his secretary. The friend who usually always appears at the office is also now busy here and there, then decided to always stay longer in Germany, so he was a little lonely.
“I don't know what the problem is, but being a little bit indifferent to me, I don't know where my fault is,” Richard said. His face looked a little frustrated because of that. It was strange to see the man who had always been advising her, now becoming desperate like this.
“I'll change the question, how does it feel to have a bond with a woman? In a moment you will understand what I have been feeling all along.”
Richard snorting. Is this karma because it always pestered his best friend? But he also told the truth first. If not for his support that never broke, Dimitri would not have been able to sit in front of him so desperate.
“It looks like you are looking at me like a gini, as long as you know yes, I will not tell us the fate,” Richard grumbled.
Dimitri simply nodded his head with a non-fading smile. It is always easier to say everything, compared to directly practicing everything. It's not gonna be that easy.
“Do I need to book your ticket to Jakarta? I don't think you can survive in this relationship. Or maybe you are too aggressive? When was the last time you dated?” dimitri Cecar.
Richard immediately looked at Dimitri. “You really like that?” ask Dimitri again. His face was as surprised as possible.
Richard clucking. This man hasn't been three months since his divorce, but it looks like there's something wrong with his brain. I don't know what's on this guy's mind.
“Hai, I'm late huh?”
The two looked at the woman who had just appeared. Liliana. Richard smiled, he deliberately went to Frankfurt to meet Liliana. The last time he met, they hadn't had a good chat, and it just so happened that Dimitri was still here as well. Think of it as a reunion, but not a reunion of ex-wives and ex-husbands. How, yeah, say it?
“Cockwise. Oh, it just so happens that Dimitri is around here somewhere. It doesn't matter if the three of us are here, right?” ask Richard. He immediately received the Eagle in Liliana's arms, he also missed his handsome niece.
“No problem.” Liliana smiled at Dimitri. They were also three days ago just chatting with each other, so, like this will not matter either.
But it's weird, right? Liliana and Dimitri met more often when they were no longer in a relationship. They are also more familiar today, on appeal first. Not as familiar as you imagine, it's just, for the size of an ex-husband and wife is quite strange.
“Katherine where?” ask Liliana.
Dimitri suddenly choked on hearing Richard's reply. “Is he busy ignoring you?” ask Dimitri. An amused smile could not escape his lips.
“You fought?” ask Liliana.
“Yes, because Richard is too aggressive, he can only nasehatin people. Make itself can not nasehatin.”
“Wah, I don't know if you can be this fancy? Truly the definition of a happy temper above the suffering of others,” said Richard. He was hurt this time because of his best friend.
Liliana shook her head looking at the small quarrel of these two companions. The eagle in Richard's lap could only look at Richard confusedly, the little boy could not bear the nature of both. Liliana immediately took over the Eagle, so that if the two really fought, the Eagle would not be a victim.
“I can carry it?” dimitri asked Liliana.
The eagle returned to Dimitri's lap calmly with a smile from Liliana. At least the Eagle was able to stay with his father for longer.
The sight was not separated from Richard's vision, it was strange to see these two people who looked more harmonious when they were separated. Both of them could smile sincerely without tears like before, it would probably be even more beautiful if they had not separated. Yes, but it's a choice they've made, maybe it'll be another story if they decide to stay together.
“Elang, later if it is big, do not follow the nature of your father, yes?” richard said to the Eagle, who stared blankly at the Eagle. What kind of eagle should respond to this uncle ramble in front of him?
It was Dimitri's turn to listen to Richard's words. “Just brush up on your fiancee.”
Does this feel like when you are divorced? Liliana felt strange, but she also felt this was the right thing she did. Some have said this, only the relationship ends, but the feeling stays. And does Liliana still feel left behind in this man, or is it just because the Eagle alone makes her feel living in this man?
Nor can they just leave each other, Liliana could have done that by forbidding Dimitri from seeing the Eagle, but she didn't feel right about it. What if the Eagle grows up and asks about his father? Such small questions continue to annoy him, and almost influence his decision.
Liliana does not want to be selfish, her son's happiness is also a priority. He wanted, even though his parents were separated, the Eagle still got complete affection. Is that selfish enough too?
**
Enzo never tried to get back into alcohol addiction since he knew Liliana, although he was usually drunk in his apartment. Lately, he has never touched wine or other alcoholic beverages. He replaced all of that by meeting Liliana and Eagle, both of them were like medicine
to him. He was afraid to fall back too deep again, as before, but this feeling of his own could not be contained either.
Like this time, he again stood in front of the door of Liliana's apartment. I don't know if the woman is inside or not. When her feelings were being tossed around like this, Liliana was the answer to everything. Is it too much? While Liliana doesn't seem to want to reciprocate her feelings, this is one-sided love. Enzo with
he obviously felt it, but he'll keep trying.
“Enzo?”
Enzo turned to the side and found Liliana who seemed to have just stepped out of the elevator. The most extreme choice made by Enzo is to settle in Frankfurt and live in an apartment that he had previously just left. All of that was extreme compared to previous years. Enzo hasn't been around since the incident seven years ago.
“You just got home?” ask Enzo.
“Yes, I just got home.”
In fact, Enzo's presence in front of his apartment is nothing new. This guy is a very regular visit, almost like a second home for Enzo. There is nothing wrong actually, lately Liliana just felt that all this was not right, she was afraid Enzo began to expect more of all this.
“You've been standing there a long time? Why not call?” ask Liliana. It was only eight o'clock last night, but the Eagle had been asleep the whole trip. Today was quite a fun meeting with, wait, how should you mention Dimitri? Saying ‘ is fun to meet ex-husband’, sounds really weird.
In essence, the meeting was quite pleasant for the three of them. Like back in time when they were still old school and high school.
“You've had dinner?” ask Liliana again. Enzo's not usually quiet like this.
Liliana's question has not been answered again because of the ringing of Liliana's phone. Dimitris.
“What's up?” ask Liliana.
“Ah, am I bothering you? I just wanted to ask if you guys came home safe,” Dimitri asked. Exists
a little doubt in the man's words.
“Yes, the Eagle is even still asleep, how about you?”
The meeting this afternoon bit by bit began to melt the atmosphere between the two, the awkwardness slowly began to melt a little. Isn't it good to be friends with an ex-husband?
“Yes, me too. Give my regards to the Eagle when he is awake.”
Liliana laughed amusedly. “Yes, after this I will tell a fairy tale to the Eagle, about how strange his Father is.”
Dimitri also laughed with their strange chatter. “Rest,” close Dimitri.
Liliana smiled slightly, then turned off their phone connection. He turned around to find Enzo who had not spoken since. It was strange when the man was more reserved, because the man was more likely to harass him.
“There's a problem?” ask Liliana. He sat down in front of Enzo, who looked different than usual.
Enzo looked at Liliana seriously. “You want to marry me.”

About if you were the one in Enzo's application, what would your reaction be? Nerima or nolak? I would have accepted it anyway ;)
