Since marrying Joelin, there has been a lot about relationships and trust in the couple that has educated Mickey. He hoped the same thing would happen to those around him. Lika liku life has always been closely related to the educational process of life, including the problems that are present in it.

Now the car driven by Mr. Karno, is carrying his master's family, Mickey, Joelin and Lucy splitting the highway. Their goal this time was of course the residence of Vino's parents, to meet with Amel and his baby.
"Lucy, we're going to see baby sister. Are you happy?" Joelin chatted with the princess sitting sweetly on Mickey's lap.
"aaaaa.. aaaa.. baba... haaaa.." The typical mumble of a baby comes out of his tiny lips as if to understand the mother's utterance.
"Do you want to kiss your baby sister?" joelin asked with a murmur Lucy who never stopped.
"No. no." Mickey replied suddenly.
"Can't you? Why Mickey?" joelin asked confusedly.
"Girls shouldn't kiss men first." Mickey replied casually.
"Maha.." Jeolin laughed at the husband's reply.
Mr. Karno who was focused on watching the road in front of him smiled faintly at the boss's words.

Aluna walks into the mansion she lives in with her husband Goedan. Arriving at the room she immediately rushed to change the party dress with casual clothes. Reluctant to go to the dressing room, he took off his clothes and intended to wear the clothes he had stored in the dresser drawer. Again the husband was not in the room yet, so Aluna felt free to move.
Meanwhile, Goedan, who had parked the car before, had now stepped closer to his room. The man hurriedly remembered a file that had to be checked immediately.
'plek' the door to the room is open. Goedan gaped at the sight before him. Aluna was bending over at the dressing table, with her body half exposed.
"What are you doing?" goedan from the door.
"Aaaa." Aluna screamed as she jumped on the bed, the reflex she pulled on the blanket covering her body. The clothes in his hand were everywhere.
"Basic freak, I've seen even tasted it all. Why should I peek?" Say casually, while picking up Aluna's clothes.
Aluna who had been wrapped in blankets could only put on a pouting face. Everything Goedan said was true. Although they often act cold to each other, unlike romantic couples who are drunk with love in general, but they can do the relationship as husband and wife.
"Next time remember to lock the door, what if the one that came in wasn't me?" goedan comments while offering clothes to Aluna.
"There is only you in this room without knocking on the door" replied Aluna blushing in embarrassment.
"Just can't be like that. What if Vino shows up? He is also always free to go in and out of this room." protested Goedan.
"That's before we get married." Aluna answered slowly. His face warmed.
"Are you really in love with me or not? Sometimes you're so considerate, but you're also so cold." - the inner Aluna who until now did not understand the true feelings of her husband.

Amel was looking at the tiny face sleeping beside him. The girl's expression continued to change. Sometimes he smiled, sometimes his eyes implied a deep bitterness.
tock.tok..
The sound of the door of the room being tapped sign someone is wanting to enter.
"Who?" amel asked while trying to get up from his sleeping position.
"Non, there's a guest downstairs." The voice of one of the waiters who turns out to be standing behind Amel's bedroom door.
"Who's mom?" amel asked politely as he walked carefully to open the door.
"Hmmm... I forgot his name is Non. Sorry, they said they were friends of Non." replied the middle-aged woman who had been waiting for her employer. His head bowed politely before the young lady.
"They? A lot, ma'am?" Ask Amel curious.
"The couple is married and a baby" answered the woman.
"Please tell me to go up, ma'am, I'll meet you in the living room next door." replied Amel.
"Yes miss." the maid rushed down from the 2nd floor where the young lady's room was.
After the servant left, Amel immediately entered the room and tidied up his appearance.
\*
"It turns out Vino's son is a successful businessman as well." murmured Mickey.
With a careful movement Amel entered the living room. His eyes widened in shock at the figure sitting waiting for his presence in the room.
"Joelin???" between haru and nervous, Amel called out lowly.
"Hi... How are you Mel?" Joelin who heard Amel's voice immediately got up from the sofa and hugged her friend.
Amel returned Joelin's embrace, involuntarily her crying was now broken. It was as if all the pain and burdens he had been waiting for were racing out of his heart.
As if understanding, Joelin tightened her embrace without asking or commenting. After Amel's cries began to subside, Joelin led her best friend to sit down together.
"Hi Mike." greeted Amel with a forced smile.
"Hi is also Amel." replied the man. "Hi Anty's..." Mickey spoke like a child while moving Lucy's hand, forming a waving motion in the air.
"You're so beautiful, what's her name?" Amel, who was sitting next to Joelin, was busy wiping the tears on her puffy face, looking at Lucy's tiny face.
"Lucy anty." replied Joelin representing the princess.
"Congratulations, you're finally a mother" Joelin said.
"Do I deserve congratulations?" amel asked with a face that came back soft.
The room instantly turned silent and awkward. Mickey and Joelin looked at each other. While Lucy was busy tugging at one of the fingers of her father's hand.
With a blink of an eye, Joelin asks Mickey to leave her alone with Amel. As if skilled at reading sign language from his wife, Mickey immediately got up and held Lucy.
"You guys talk first, I'll take Lucy to play outside" Mickey said breaking the silence before passing from there.
After Mickey left, Joelin looked at Amel's face that looked riled up. Empty eyes and a difficult expression to interpret.
"Amel, you're okay, right?" Patting Amel's shoulders slowly, Joelin asked a question.
"Hmmm..." Amel muttered softly, his throat as if suffocating. There was something settling in his heart, pressing and torturing him day after day.
"Gue will be a listener as long as you want to talk" said Joelin as she stroked Amel's back, trying to channel comfort and strength to her best friend.
"Gue, I don't think I deserve Joe's congratulations." Sobbing, Amel finally started talking.
"Why?"
"Because I can't give a father figure to my baby. He will suffer forever because of it. He'll be called an illegitimate child, a child abandoned by his own biological father."
Joelin frowned confusedly. She knows the story of Amel's pregnancy that took place out of wedlock. He also had time to hear the narration of Aluna, about Amel who was pregnant because of Vino. Joelin does not know the whole story.
"Why did Amel feel so guilty about the baby?" Joelin murmurs in the heart.
"Mel, no human being is perfect, we all make mistakes . And your baby won't necessarily be living in the suffering you're worried about right now."
Amel was still sobbing, tears were flowing from both corners of his eyes. Like someone who was in a great shock, that was how Amel was right now.
"Are you ready to share about the actual incident with me?"
Amel looked at Joelin fixedly, his lips now moved. Slowly the story began to be told. And Joelin sat quietly, putting on her ears while holding her best friend's hand, trying to give her strength.
