"Have you felt better?" Arion took off his embrace and asked gently. Sekar nodded. The girl no longer cried as much as she could, although the remains of tears were still seen flowing.
Knowing the situation of Sekar who was sad, Arion so gamang to express his intention to return to Jakarta. The man did not have the heart to leave the lover in such a state, but Erlina's affairs could not be ignored either. If she had left the office longer, Erlina would have been more and more so.
Seeing Arion silent, Sekar rebuked him, "What's the matter, Mas?" ask the girl.
Arion exhaled slowly. "I have to go back to Jakarta now. There was a little trouble in the office. But I think of you here too."
"Big problem, is it?" ask Sekar to worry.
Arion. "No. It's just a small matter but I can't ignore it. They need my help there." The answer.
"Then, go. I'm fine here. You shouldn't be in this place much longer. I've been a lot of trouble." Smile and feel a little bad.
"I never felt bothered." Answer Arion straightforwardly. "Then, what about you?" the man was a little upset.
"I'm doing fine. I'll call Mas often." Sekar held Arion's hand to convince her.
"alright. Let me know if there's anything, will you?" arion's word while gently rubbing Sekar's black mane.
Sekar nodded. The girl then invites Arion inside to say goodbye to her family.
...***...
The atmosphere in the laboratory where the Earlene project took place experienced a slight discomfort, as a result of Erlina's arrival forcing her way in.
Previously, the woman was banned from entering by Danu. But instead of complying, Erlina instead rebuked and slapped Danu while saying, that she was the legal wife of the owner of this company. He has every right to know about the office.
"Everything in this company I have the right to know. Besides this company is my husband's, soon I will also soon have a stake here!" his yell.
The late Dewandaru did indeed intend on his lawyer team, that Erlina was entitled to have a stake of 5 percent in Umbara, if Arion was married. That was one of the real reasons, why Erlina so wanted Davina to be the daughter-in-law of the Umbara family. It's all nothing more for the sake of boosting their company so that the value of shares of the company owned by the husband can rise.
"Just want to, it's arrogant!" cibir one of Danu's team members in a very low voice. Some of them whispered to each other, asking how could Mr. Dewandaru, who was known to be generous, marry a woman like Erlina, whose fingernails were not even worth a match with Mrs Rossane, the late wife of former Dewandaru.
Danu pinched his forehead. Their project will soon be completed, just 5 percent. So he did not want any commotion that could disturb the concentration of himself and all the team members involved. And so Danu finally gave up. He let Erlina go inside on condition, just sitting quietly in the chair that had been available, without commenting what else until touching the items there.
"If it wasn't for this project, I would have fired you, br3ngsek!" grumpy Erlina while walking past Danu.
Danu looked at Erlina coldly. He stroked his cheek which was still hot due to the slap of the gil4 woman.

"Thank you for accompanying us, Son Rion," Bude Gayatri said. The middle-aged woman took Arion's hand and grasped it. "I'm sorry Bude, because while you're here, Bude rarely pays attention to you for being too focused on taking care of Mbah. We haven't even talked much. Come back sometime, Bude would like to know more about Sekar and his workplace."
Arion smiled and nodded. "Good, Bude. Please take care of your health and don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything." Reply Arion.
Bude Gayatri smiled gently. He pulled Arion into his arms and patted the man on the back like his own son.
Arion was a little surprised, but he immediately reciprocated the bude treatment of his lover. After a while, Bude Gayatri let go of his embrace. "Ouch! Sorry yes, but Bude's body is dirty, but it's too presumptuous to hug Nak Rion."
"Don't do it, Bude." Arion hugged Bude Gayatri once more and kissed her hand, before then saying goodbye to Mbah Bhanuwati who was sitting on the bed while pensive.
"Bah, Rion went home first, huh? Rion will come again" said Arion. Carefully he took Mbah Bhanuwati's hand and kissed her.
Just as Arion was about to let go, Mbah Bhanuwati instead held his hand. A shocked Arion looked at Sekar and Bude Gayatri. His face looked confused and scared. Fear if it turns out Mbah Bhanuwati was disturbed by his presence as a stranger there.
But Arion's estimate was wrong. The 70-year-old woman clapped her hands and said, "patient, good light. Sometimes life doesn't match what we want."
Arion frowned confused. The reaction is not much different from Bude Gayatri and Sekar.
The three people were still staring at Mbah Bhanuwati in astonishment. Because since suffering from Alzheimer's, he never said anything other than about the late parents Sekar and Sekar small.
Whether Sekar should feel happy or not, knowing the grandmother can say other things, because what he just said sounded a little scary.
"What experiment, Mbah?" Now the curious tried to ask what the grandmother meant.
Mbah Bhanuwati. Instead of answering, he turned his gaze toward the window. He did not heed the question at all.
"Change?" not wanting to give up just like that, Sekar again made a sound.
"Change?" call Sekar with a slightly hardened voice. The girl sat down and brought her face closer to the face of Mbah Bhanuwati. His eyes are now dewy.
Arion was about to hold Sekar's hand, but the girl hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that started to flow.
Mbah Bhanuwati turned her head and looked at Sekar deeply, then said. "I'm hungry, arep manganese." Hearing that, Sekar bowed. It would take him a long time to remember himself.
Arion then took Sekar out of the room. "I heard, this is the best Hospital in the City. Rest assured, Mbah will soon be healed. He will remember you again as his grown-up little grandchild."
Sekar nodded. "I hope so."
They both walked towards the hospital lobby. An online taxi that Arion had ordered was waiting there.
"Be careful, Mom. Don't forget to let me know when I get home." Sekar's Message.
"You too, don't forget to always tell me." Arion looked gently at his lover. "I will miss you so much" he said.
"I am too." Just shy of being embarrassed.
Arion smiled knot. He lifted Sekar's face and kissed her forehead for a long time, before getting into the taxi and leaving from there.
Sekar kontan's face warms up. The girl was even reluctant to take her eyes off until the taxi disappeared, heading for the highway.
