Darren leads Karen who is experiencing a sudden bout of dizziness, to shuffle sit on the sofa. He took mineral water and helped his wife to drink it.
"Lately your health has begun to decline. Remember, you're just recovering!"
"I'm not papa, really! Maybe just tired!"
Karen who was still laying her head on the back of the sofa while closing her eyes, then suddenly stood acting as if there was nothing wrong with her health. Because, if he looks sick, then it is likely that Darren will not decide to move. Damn, just trying to be strong, he was back in the daze and almost fell down.
Darren immediately grabbed her by holding onto both of Karen's shoulders. "Udah, just rest! We go back to Oma's house. Clean the house tomorrow."
A sentence with a command tone came out from Darren's mouth. Karen gasped, of course, disagreed if she had to go back to Oma Belle's house. Coming home to Oma Belle means meeting Chalvin again. Meanwhile, it was the thing he was avoiding at the moment because he felt awkward after knowing the man harbored feelings for her.
"I don't want to go home! I'm gonna sleep here tonight! We don't have to go home, do we?" persuade Karen.
"You see for yourself, your condition is weak. If I'm in college tomorrow, no one's taking care of you, how?"
Karen was silent, but showed a sullen look. Darren placed his hand behind Karen's head, then rubbed the woman's hair randomly.
"Or we'll go to the doctor at night."
"I'm not papa, really. No need to see a doctor" Karen refused. Since the control to the gynecologist at that time, he seemed lazy to come again even though the doctor advised to check again. In fact, he also felt something strange with him during these weeks, such as easily tired and often dizzy.
"You know what the husband said! You are too busy working. Receive a lot of endorsan, so easily exhausted. From now on stop receiving endorsan first, should start focusing on maintaining health. Remember, the lecture is active, you know!"
"Yes ...." Unlike usual, this time Karen did not dare to argue with her husband. After today's incident, he regretted not heeding Darren's advice and always felt himself right.
Darren looked at his wife's pale face as well as the cold sweat coming out from her tiny palm.
"Why do you suddenly want to quickly get out of Oma's house? Fighting with Sheila?" darren suspected.
"No."
"Are Oma's words that offended you?"
"No, really."
"Continue?"
"Yes, no. Want to be alone and you'll like it first" Karen replied as she leaned her head against her husband's arm.
Darren smiled slightly. "And we're still going to move here before we go to college."
Seeing Karen who was still putting on a pouty face, he also pinched the lips of the woman to look like a duck mouth.
"You want me to buy dessert, right?"
Karen nodded quickly. Darren then picks up his phone, ordering his wife's favorite dessert from his subscription pastry shop via the app.
The sun will soon set marked with a golden yellow light. Chalvin was driving his car to his cafe. As soon as he arrived, he could see Nadya sitting waiting for him in an ordinary place. The girl of Karen's age was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt and long jeans with unraveled hair without any extra accessories.
Yes, he came here at the girl's request. After not getting a reply to the phone and chat for a full day, the girl finally contacted him via DM instagram and immediately asked to meet.
Before approaching the girl, Chalvin took the time to look at her appearance at the window by improving her hairstyle. Chalvin then approached Nadya and sat facing her. Without further ado, Nadya immediately thrust out a thick-looking brown envelope.
"This is the rest of the money Chalvin once sent to my account. The remaining amount is only 33 million because I've used it to pay for the semester."
"Certainly, why is it being repeated? This is your money!" Chalvin pushed the envelope back toward Nadya, but was immediately restrained by the girl's hand.
"After I thought, this money too much for me who just acts as a fake girlfriend. I realized, at that time I was too glossy to receive this much money from Brother. If Kak Chalvin is pleased, the money that has been used will be my installments per month."
"Why? Are you afraid of people's judgments when you find out you're receiving a lot of money just to be a fake boyfriend?" guess Chalvin with his eyebrows raised next door.
"Please watch that!" reply Nadya sober, "if anyone knows if I help Brother Chalvin because of this money, which can be ugly still me, right?" he said while laughing.
Chalvin bellowed while exhaling a rough breath. "No need to live on the judgment of others! You're too scared of people."
Nadya shook her head, just staring at Chalvin wistfully. Not talking too much, making him look different than usual. In fact, he was just committed to improving his own quality. Even though it had been a misstep in the past, wasn't there still hope for bettering itself in the future? Maybe this is what Nadya wants to do.
Chalvin nodded small. "Actually, I also told you that my grandfather and Oma were breaking up. I'm .. sorry if ...."
"No papa, really, brother. The expression of my heart yesterday, no need to think about it," Nadya cut quickly while laughing foolishly, "Oh, yes, I go home first, huh? There's still work," he said back while taking his sling bag off the table.
When Nadya was about to move, Chalvin instead held his hand. "But ... we can still be friends, right?" chalvin asked with a hopeful expression.
"Of course!" nadya replied.

At Bratajaya's residence, Oma Belle was ordering her ART to boil herbal ingredients and put them in a glass bottle. He even intervened in concocting special herbs for his daughter-in-law's granddaughter. Yes, Oma Belle's love for natural herbs is so ingrained. Even the cosmetic company had once issued a special product for female herbal ingredients for beauty from the inside and outside. Unfortunately, less in demand in the market because with the development of technology, people are more tempted by products and treatments that are instantaneous.
"This is for Karen's stock. Next week they went back to their home. Where can he make herbal medicine like gini, so it must be made a lot. Don't forget the sign so don't be confused. This healthy herbal medicine comes months, so that the stomach does not hurt. This one, herbal medicine to remove unpleasant odors. Well, if this one, must be made a lot about this herbal medicine that can make men crazy about us," said Oma Belle Belle explained one by one on her ART.
"What is this herbal medicine, Mom? There's the champ, huh?" ask one of the ART.
"Hussh .. You are this! It's jamu perapat. If you drink this regularly, make our clasps more narrow, you know! You should know, how to please the husband with only two points, namely his stomach and under his stomach. Her stomach was frowned on, under her stomach was satisfied," Oma explained, giggling with ART.
Apparently, the old woman had allowed Darren and Karen to leave this house. It can be seen from all the provisions he prepared on the young couple.
Oma Belle's phone suddenly rang, causing her to stop the activity for a moment. Especially when he found out who called him was an employee who was ordered as a spy in the company.
"What's the latest info?" ask Oma Belle.
Oma Belle's eyes popped out immediately upon hearing the news from the office spy.
