Talk From Heart to Heart

One day after Kaivan reported Gara's crime, the police swiftly followed up on the case. Based on the investigation, Gara was assigned as a suspect of rapist*an against Athreya. Because he was sentenced to a pretty heavy sentence.

However, Kaivan had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, as Athreya had not yet opened her eyes. Repeatedly he came to his sister— clasping his hands and also whispering beautiful sentences. However, the younger brother was still at home in his subconscious.

"Son, eat first!" kirana said while thrusting the lunchbox in front of Kaivan. Since yesterday, Kirana's situation has improved.

"Not hungry yet, Mother," replied Kaivan.

Kaivan looked down and contemplated everything that happened around, starting from Nadhea, Athreya, and also Luna. Everything left a tightness that squeezed the chest, so Kaivan did not feel hunger or thirst.

"Son, you have not eaten in the morning, especially since yesterday busy, also traveled far. You have to take care of your health, don't eat late."

Kaivn smiled, then grabbed the lunchbox Kirana was carrying. However, Kaivan did not open it, instead putting it on the chair.

"Kai___"

"Mother, sit down for a minute! I want to talk. After that, I'll eat, "cut Kaivan.

"All right." Kirana complied and sat down next to Kaivan. He looked at his son fixedly, but the one he was staring at was just a smile, not the slightest bit indicating that he would open his voice.

"Kai! He said he'd talk?" Kirana is back because Kaivan is still silent.

Instead of answering, Kaivan laid his head on Kirana's lap. His black eyes stared at the very face of his mother gently. There was calmness in his soul when he did that.

Kaivan did not care if Kirana said it was spoiled, or people who passed by stared laughing. Right now, all he needed was calmness, and all that was on Kirana.

"Mother, before you got home, Papa said something?" kaivan asked, starting the conversation.

Early in the morning, Darren and Reyvan returned to Malang City. There was a slight problem with the business there, all because of his cooperation with the Victory Company. After the case of Luna and Nadhea's existence sticking out, the stock price in the Company declined drastically, even with some investors, many who withdrew their investment. As a businessman who was involved in cooperation with him, Darren was also affected, so he was forced to go home and leave his son who was coma— in order to keep the business in control. Darren doesn't want his family to feel deprived.

In the media there has been a lot of news about the Prawira family. Many suspect that the family will disappear from the business world. Actually, the guess is quite reasonable, because there are some rivals who deliberately take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Victory Company.

"By the way? What do you mean by that?" Kirana looked at Kaivan.

"Why should I be angry?" Kirana asked back.

"I've been wrong a lot, Mother. Because of cooperation with Om Wira, now Papa's business has many obstacles. And I can't do anything, even Reyvan who helped finish. I also put the family to shame. The news of my marriage with Luna already knew a lot, but now I'm canceling. I can't be the pride of Mother and Papa" Kaivan replied with half-closed eyes.

"Don't draw your own conclusions, Kaivan. All this is not your fault, it was Mas Darren himself who decided to cooperate with Prawira. Sally__"

"Papa will not know Om Wira if I am not dating Luna, Mother," concluded Kaivan.

"Yes, maybe that's true. But, that doesn't mean your papa's business will be seamless without constraints, does it?"

Kaivan.

"In life, the problem must be there. You don't have to blame yourself for the stumbling in your papa's work. Even if there is no Prawira, the problem must have come from another gap. Kaivan, we're not angry, we're proud to have a big-hearted kid like you. Mother knows, you still love Luna, but you dare to let her go. You are not stupid because of love, and that is enough to make Mother proud," Kirana said at length. He dared to talk that way because he understood the real Luna case.

"Is Papa really not angry? But, later our family will endure shame, Mother. Must be a lot of gossip because my marriage is canceled, also many would say that we want to be good. Leaving Luna when she was in trouble. If only I was gossiped it's okay, but if Mother and Papa are also__"

"They can't possibly forever gossip us. Kaivan, a moment of shame cannot compare to your happiness. What's the point of closing the shame if what's sacrificed is your future?" Kirana looked down and rubbed Kaivan's head. "No, son, Mother and your father are not selfish. So, you don't have to think about that. If Luna is no longer your choice, yes. Live your life properly, marry if you have met the right woman. No need to force to cover up the shame" he continued.

Kaivan opened his eyes wide, very happy to hear his mother's words. The best thing in life is family.

"It's over, right, talk? Now get up and eat. Mother does not want if you are sick," Kirana said a moment later.

"Not yet, Mother, there is still one more," Kaivan replied quickly.

"What?"

Kaivan did not answer immediately. He just moved and looked at his mother closely. There were doubts to express his heart this time. Kirana looked at him without blinking, trying to guess what Kaivan was thinking.

"Mr___"
