The night after meeting Siska on the set. Devan invites Rey to meet at one of the cafes.

"Tumben once you asked me to meet here" said Rey.

"I also had to" said Devan.

"It seems like there's something important you want to talk about," Rey aligned her body with Devan holding on to the iron barrier while gazing at the cityscape at night.

"So, it's about Clarissa!"

"Why him?" Rey curious.

"Your mother knows the news of your closeness" Devan replied.

"Yes, I know. He's been talking to me, too" Rey said.

"So afternoon your mother came to the site and met Clarissa" Devan explained.

"Why didn't I know he was there? He didn't do anything to Clarissa, did he?" Rey looked at her friend's face and wished her mother had not acted recklessly.

"Tante Siska slapped Clarissa," Devan replied without turning his head.

"Overdoing mom!" furious Rey.

"You better stay away from Clarissa!" devan put both his hands in his pants pocket.

"I can't" Rey refused.

"Rey, the closer you get to Clarissa, the more your mother will hurt her!" devan.

"Devan, I'm in love with her. There's no way I'm letting go" Rey said.

"You want him to get more hurt or defend your selfishness!"

Rey kept quiet and thought. Meanwhile, Devan sits down and enjoys dinner while occasionally looking at his distraught cousin.

"Why did Mama slap Clarissa?" asked Rey who came out of the room to approach her parents who were having breakfast.

"Mama, just wanted to reprimand her," replied Siska.

"Mama shouldn't be, '" advises Robi.

"That girl's gone too far near our son, Pa!" obviously Siska.

"Rey doesn't like Mama's way" he said.

"You can't be banned, so Mama just teach the girl a lesson, so she'll wake up!" siska.

Rey clucked in annoyance and chose to go to the office without breakfast.

"Why are you laughing?" ask Devan.

"Mr Devan, I'm an artist. You know how, right? I walk with a man alone has been made into news," Clarissa said.

"But I don't want the news you're making to lower our sales" Devan said.

"What makes news is not me, sir. But those reporters," Clarissa said.

Devan immediately stood up and retreated his steps. "Rissa, don't fuck with me!" his jolt. Sweat began to pour on his forehead.

Clarissa stopped her steps and chuckled. "I can't be that close!"

Devan quickly picked up the tissue on the table and wiped off his sweat.

Clarissa turned her body and sat back down. "Am I so despicable?" his tananya exhaled a rough breath. "Only Yuna and Tina who were always there for me the others stayed away from me because they thought I was like Mom," she continued.

Devan puts tissue on Clarissa.

"Thank you" Clarissa said.

"You can go, I'll give you a vacation ticket!" devan.

"Can the ticket be exchanged for money?" her door.

Clarissa smiled with a smile. "The ticket is just one for what I'm on vacation. If it's with you, I want it!"

"But I don't want to go on vacation with you" Devan said.

"Everyone wants to go on vacation with me" Clarissa purposely said that.

"I'm not interested in you Miss Clarissa!" Devan emphasized his words.

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"All right, if you don't want to. I'll just go with Rey" Clarissa stood up and wanted to step up.

"Well, I'll replace your vacation ticket with money!" Devan stops Clarissa.

Clarissa moved her foot towards Devan.

"Hey, what do you want?" tanya Devan shakes.

"Thank you, Mister!" Clarissa lowered her head slightly with a smile, and she left the room.

"Come, we're going home. I'll tell you later!" bring Clarissa. They also left Arta Fashion.

During the return trip Clarissa explains about Rey and the bonuses she received.

"Why don't you just take that ticket?" ask Yuna.

"You can't come for what" Clarissa replied.

"Maybe both of you are gone" Yuna guessed.

"If he wanted to, of course I accepted it" Clarissa said.

"But by the way Tina's proposal yesterday for you to approach the President was quite successful as well" Yuna said.

"But now I really like it, Yuna!"

"But he doesn't like you, don't give your heart to an insincere man" Yuna said.

"What's up, how's this?" Clarissa held onto her chest and smilingly showed her innocent face.
