"This is a disgrace to our family. If this goes to the media, Arhea's company and career as a model could be ruined. Do you understand this?"
The long sentence from Papa Arhea, kept ringing in Dayona's ears, until he was difficult to close his eyes.
"Pa, what should Dana do?"
"Is this the harvest of what I've sown?"
"What about Edna and Jaden?"
Dayona's head was filled with many questions. To answer all those questions, he decided to talk again with Arhea.
"Rhe, we can't get married. There is no love between us. Do you want me to marry you just because I have to?"
Arhea just looked down. "If that's what's best for my family, I will, Dan."
Dayona gasped at Arhea's reply.
"Then what about me, Rhe? I have a responsibility to marry the mother of my son."
"So it's the same, right? You married her just because she was pregnant, not because of love." Arhea's words were so sharp.
Dayona. "You're wrong, Rhe. I did not get married because of responsibility. But because I love him."
Arhea let out a sigh, as if she did not like to hear Dayona's answer.
"I don't mean to be selfish, but my family is everything to me. And now my focus is just that."
"If I can meet Fleta, then none of this has to happen!" Dayona remembers Fleta, the main character in the matter.
"Papa is waiting for you to propose to me immediately, Dan." Arhea closed the meeting, with an appeal, but sounded a threat to Dayona who was depressed.

Edward tried to calm down Edna who was sobbing. Kavana who was standing in the corner of the room, was also powerless to hold back her cries.
"Edna want to see Brother, sister?" edna said in her tears.
Edward just nodded weakly. After Edna finds out all, Edward is determined to let Edna decide for herself over her problems with Dayona.
"Right here, Na." Dayona's voice made everyone turn towards the door. Dayona's face was tangled and looked as sad as everyone's face at the time.
"I'll give you some time to talk" Edward said as he walked out of the room, followed by Kavana.
"Na, forgive brother. You never thought it would be like this." Dayona at Edna's feet. Cry broke.
"Bang, can Edna hope that Abang will stay with Edna. Our marriage will really happen. Jaden will be born with his father?" ask Edna pilu.
Dayona could not speak anymore. The two of them just cried together, letting out all the emotions in the languishing soul.
"Na, do you trust your brother?" the question was asked by Dayona when the two of them were already lying on Edna's bed, after a long period of tired crying.
"Believe me, Bang." replied Edna as she stared at the ceiling of her room.
"Why?"
"Following the conscience perhaps, since Abang said he wanted to marry Edna, Edna saw seriousness. That's what made Edna convinced to brother,"
"Thank you, Na. Your trust means a lot to your brother. I promise I will fight for you and our son."
Edna smiled. Dayona tightly grasped the hand of Edna lying beside her. There is a prayer there.
"Lord let me hold this hand forever ...."
They closed their eyes, then fell asleep in the cradle of despair about love and the sense of the unpalpable ahead.
Edward entered Edna's room, after two hours the two did not appear to have come out of his room.
He found them both sleeping. Edward looked at the scene in front of him. This time, he looked at Dayona in a different light. He could see how Dayona struggled to be with Edna. And Edna with all her might tried to keep believing in her future husband.
"They slept very peacefully huh, Ed" said Kavana who was already standing next to him.
Edward confirmed Kavana's words.
"I wish fate had sided with them, Ed."
Edward turned to Kavana.
"You mean?"
"Dayona is facing a giant!"

"Ro, when are you going to love Mama's grandchildren?" mom's question surprised Hero.
"Hello, Ma, Hero didn't hear me wrong, did he? Or is it the wrong mom to ask?"
Mama swigging. "Yes not wrong! Mom really asked when you'd love Mama's grandkids."
"Serious mom, Ro!!!"
"Mama's part is weird, ask me like that!" gerutu Heroes.
"Where's wrong?" ask Mama sebal.
"Ma, that Hero is still in college,"
"Then?"
"Lecture is usually a diploma, Ma." replied Hero by emphasizing the word diploma.
"What's wrong, if you get married early, Ro ... Lonely mom no friends. You've been very busy going to college and doing business, so when can you think of dating!" spray Mama.
"Well, that's Mama's got it." Hero starts to get caught off guard by his mother's question.
But Mama kept urging Hero. "Aren't girls close to you?"
Hero shakes.
"Then the girl who's been to our villa? Who's tu?" search Mama.
"That's Edward's sister, Ma. Hero's college and business friends" said Hero casually while eating his otherworldly bread.
"But said Mang Uki, his son is beautiful, so that makes you desperate to come to the villa without warm clothes, to bring his favorite food. Right that?"
Hero sighs.
"Waduuuh, who am I? Until a lot of gossip hit me! And my mom whose hobby is watching infotainment has been consumed by it!" hero is like a news anchor.
"Is there really nothing?"
"No one, Ma!" replied Hero reassured his mother.
Mama then shut up and turned back to the television that lit up near them. And Hero himself continues to enjoy the bread on his plate.
Ting.
There's an incoming message on his phone. From Edna. The name that his mother had discussed. Hero smiled to himself remembering the conversation earlier.
Edna
Brother, Edna can go to the villa?
Hero immediately replied to the message while smiling happily. Meanwhile, Mama's eyes closely watched him.
Hero
Be able. Brother will take you there. Brother pick you up in 30 minutes. Be prepared ....
Edna
Thanks Brother 🤗
Hero immediately finished his meal, placed the dirty dishes in the sink carelessly, pulled out the t-shirts in his original closet, picked up a clean jacket on his hangers and snatched his car keys.
"Are you leaving? Where's where?" mama shouted when she saw Hero wearing his shoes while walking.
"Yes, Ma ... Hero goes first to the villa, I love you!" replied Hero while waving his hand.
"So say it's nothing!" Mama looks at her son's behavior. Her feelings as a mother can't be wrong. His son is in love.

Edward sat opposite Dayona again.
"I want to prove it to you, Ed. I'm serious about Edna. But would you please help me?" dayona Pinta.
"What?"
"I need to see Fleta. He's the one who can help me get out of this."
"Before you ask, I've been looking for him, Dan. But to date, there has been no bright spot where it exists."
The two were thinking out loud, as a phone call came in via Dayona's phone. Call from Arhea.
"And, help!!!!!" Arhea was crying and panicking.
"Why Rhe?"
"Papa .. papa ..." That's all Arhea said, then the call was interrupted.
