One week after proposing to Athreya, Kennan actually brought his parents to Darren's house. Because the family relationship is well established, as well as Kennan's undoubted behavior, Darren does not complicate matters. He received Kennan's proposal for his daughter.


Not stopping there, a week after receiving a proposal, Darren and Kennan's parents returned to meet. They discussed the wedding day because Kennan and Athreya had already resigned to the decision of the parents. As a result of the discussion, Athreya and Kennan will have a two-month wedding, exactly on the day planned for Kaivan and Luna's wedding.


Because the plan will hold a big party, then the preparation has started from now. Starting from choosing dresses, rings, and also prewedding photos. As for the course of the event, they entrusted it to the Beauty Wedding Organizer—WO where Kennan and Kaivan worked.


If good things happen to the Kaivan family, then not so to the Nadhea family. Because he was too tired to work, Prawira fell ill. He was hospitalized for two days, but forced to go home. In addition to the depleted savings, Prawira also thought about the work that is still piling up. Although there was already a secretary, but he was not comfortable. Understandably, in this case Nadhea has not been reliable.


Not yet completed the test that befell Prawira, Nadhea was approached by an uncomfortable reality. Today—two weeks after he met Arsen, David came to visit. His presence makes Nadhea pounding, worried if something bad has happened to Arsen.


"How are you, Nadhea?" greet David as he sits in the living room.


"I'm good, sir." Nadhea smiled at a glance.


David is a friend and confidant of Arsen. Although they run different businesses, but not infrequently cooperate with each other. Both are very open, help each other, and trust each other like brothers.


"Don't be so formal! I'm your husband's friend, so there's no need to hesitate. Just call David, not sir," said David.


For a long time, the man refused to be called formal. Nadhea was Arsen's wife, so she considered Nadhea a friend. But Nadhea couldn't do that. David's position is quite high, he should respect it.


"It's okay, I'm used to it." Nadhea lowered her head while squeezing the end of the dress. "Mmm, how's Mas Arsen doing?" continued.


David was silent for quite a while, letting the silence answer Nadhea's question. Until finally, the woman was impatient and went back to talking.


"Mr____"


"Seeing I came here, you should have known how Arsen was. I know you're not stupid, Nadhea" concluded David.


Nadhea jerks. Suddenly his heart was beating fast, as well as the eyes were starting to heat up. Slowly his eyes blurred, a lot of water pooled in his eyes.


"No way!" Nadhea shakes. "Mas Arsen must be alive" he continued with tears beginning to drip.


Nadhea cried and repeatedly sat in love, hoping all this was just a part of a nightmare. Although this fact has been imagined since far away, but still Nadhea felt sad. He is not ready to lose someone who has ever existed in his life—although sweet memories almost buried bitter memories.


"Nadhea, I know her death is not a good thing for us, I feel sad and lost. But, staying alive is also not the best thing, either for you or for him alone." David paused his sentence while igniting a cigarette.


"You know what the consequences will be if the other day Kaivan doesn't come? It is not impossible that it will happen again in the future, and we cannot be sure that help will come back. Seeing the one we love not because of what we did, how much do you think his regrets will be?" keep David.


Now, change the silent Nadhea.


"Sometimes it's a downturn that makes a person aware of good things. Since being locked up and confirmed to lose you, he only realized that you are valuable in his life, you are the figure he loves. Since talking to you, he's been slapped. His figure is so bad, still met with people as good as you, who have absolutely no grudges. He was embarrassed and started to look. Learn to improve and ask God for forgiveness. During this time, he often took lives. She was afraid that the same thing might happen to her. If true, then his death would have been in vain. But, another is like this. By admitting all criminal acts, he can also drag some involved. He can help the police uncover the crime. Besides, the mistake was already accounted for, so he could leave quietly." David spoke at length.


"I understand." Nadhea answered slowly.


"Sometimes business is this hard, but you don't have to be afraid, we don't have to choose that path. However, you should also know, the lower the risk of eating the lower the results obtained, and vice versa. I'm not going to explain long why my business lost far to Arsen. The point is, I don't dare take high risks."


"Yes, I understand" replied Nadhea with a nod.


David smiled, then took something from inside his bag. Then, put it on the table and thrust it to Nadhea.


"This is for you, Arsen's credit card. There is a little savings to finance your daily life, thankfully there is left to open a business. There is also Arsen's handwriting, there is a little message that yesterday has not been spoken" said David.


Nadhea smiled at a glance, then grabbed the brown envelope proffered at her. Before Nadhea opened, David first moved on.


"Because you have accepted it, I leave. Here's my card, call me if you need anything, including ... if your dad's back on the hook!" David said as he placed the business card onto the table.


Nadhea said a lot of thanks, then drove David to the door. After the man left, Nadhea went straight to the room and opened the envelope.
