Ken was at his flower shop with Dara when lunchtime arrived. The Japanese man was looking at his mobile phone showing a photo of himself with Alsa while still sitting on the Junior High School bench.
He smiled with relief when he heard the cheerful voice of Alsa who was telling the happy story of her home life with Davin. Ken who always prays for happiness Alsa feels happy when he finds out that the girl is living well despite being away from him.
"So, why isn't the food eaten?" asked Dara who was astonished at Ken's behavior, the article the man only smiled with his cellphone and occasionally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm so happy about it again. Alsa, she's living happily now." Ken then began to feed the food into his mouth.
"That means Big Brother will soon be looking for a replacement for Alsa?" ask Dara hoping Ken says 'yes.
"No, Ra!" Ken was staring out the window at his florist shop. The man recalled the time Alsa picked Lily flowers in front of her shop.
"Although there are many beautiful girls out there, and probably better than Alsa. But, keep me he's the best. It only takes 5 minutes for me to like Alsa, but for her to escape .. It took me over 50 years." Ken made Dara stuck. Honestly Ken knew that Dara liked him and put his hopes on Ken, only that he did not want to make Dara more hurt by giving the girl a lot of hope on him.
Ken has already applied Alsa to Davin. Only, he could not forbid his heart to still choose Alsa as the only girl he loved. More than three times Dara expressed her feelings for Ken, and Ken's answer remained the same. He just loves Alsa.
"But, Brother, Alsa belongs to someone else and you shouldn't expect someone's wife, right?" kekeh Dara who wants to open Ken's eyes to look at him who always pays attention to him.
"I feel that Alsa is my soul mate who is taken by others." kelakar Ken at the end of his short laugh. Dara grieves resentfully, she also wants to be noticed by Ken like Alsa who has always been the man's priority.
"Then the conclusion?" ask Dara annoyed.
"I will live alone without a partner until the end of my life!" answer Ken steady. He did not want to marry any woman, more precisely not interested in other women.
"Silly! Where is there such a person in this world?"
"There! The proof is that the man is in front of you now." Ken made Dara shut up with his words. It seems that the girl chose the wrong opponent to argue, because Ken would not let his debate opponent win easily.
An upset Dara finally decides to leave Ken's flower shop, he chose to deliver his customer's flower order at lunchtime instead of having to argue with Ken who was certain the man would win.
"Bye-bye, Dara," led Ken as he waved his right hand
"Curtain!" dengus Dara was upset. He wanted to send a voodo to Alsa.

Alsa was sitting in the living room with Camelia, watching a news event covering the beauty of New York City. Alsa smiles to see that the city is now covered in snow, she remembers Ken who hates the snow most.
The man prefers the summer he says can burn his skin to blacken, whereas Alsa herself knows that Kenzo's skin will be reddish when stung by direct sunlight. But, Alsa likes if Ken is overheated, cold or spiciness, then the cheek skin of the young man will blush pink and the girl can tease Ken as much as she likes.
"Alsa, what's wrong with you? How to smile yourself?" camelia asked astonishedly who saw her daughter-in-law giggling at herself.
"Alsa again in Kenzo, Ma. He hates snow the most, and now he's definitely not moving out of the fireplace." Alsa recalls visiting Kenzo overseas just as the snow was falling, and Kenzo chose to stay in front of the fireplace with a thick blanket and hot chocolate.
"If you miss Kenzo, you better call her." Camelia proposes to Alsa.
"Free, Ma. Not going to be lifted too, because people who are lazy to talk when badmood. And now he's badmood." Alsa pursed her lips in annoyance. Camelia smiled when she saw Alsa who now had the expression and not monotonous as before.

Ken was huddled in front of the fireplace with a thick blanket, hot chocolate, and a lighted TV.
"Anj*r!" cursed Ken when he wrongly plays a horror DVD featuring a pocong.
"LADIES!!!"
"Yes, Sir! Uh?" Maid who was struggling to run to meet his master was immediately shocked when he saw the master who was cowering in the blanket.
"Oy, why are you atem, Bambank? Matiin noh TV!" said Ken with Indonesian language that is not understood at all by his maid. The middle-aged woman was just dumbstruck at the spot looking at Ken who was already trembling in fear.
"What does Mister want?" ask the maid in wonder. Immediately Ken ran towards the maid who was standing still staring.
"Tomorrow, you must learn Indonesian! Let me know what the fuck I'm talking about! Understand not lo?" sengak Ken who was met with a surprised look by his maid who did not understand Ken's words. If Ken usually speaks with them in English or Japanese, Ken now speaks another language whose own maid does not understand at all max.

Rena looked at her reflection in the mirror, she saw there was a woman in it that was full of selfishness. He was well aware of what he did wrong, he realized if he had now messed up or maybe had destroyed someone's household life.
But what can he do? His heart speaks if Davin is his soul mate. His heart chose Davin as the only man he loved, and he had no power to resist it.
Her home life was destroyed by the violence of her ex-husband, and now she is imprisoned thanks to Davin's efforts to free Rena from her ex-husband.
Don't blame Rena for loving Davin and it's hard to forget the man, blame it on fate that makes things even more complicated. Think Rena.
As a woman, she needs a man like Davin who can protect herself from anyone who has evil intentions for her. Rena promised to try to take Davin's attention a little more, so that he could control the man's heart completely.
Only Alsa who became a stumbling block for Rena can unite with Davin, but the woman only considers Alsa a figure that does not mean much for the man's life. Davin is only attached to the promise made by the late Alea, he does not really love Alsa, and Rena knows all that.
"I'm sorry, Alsa. However much I need your husband, I love him more than anything in the world. And I hope that you will understand the circumstances of us who love each other but it is difficult to unite because of you among us. May you release Davin so that he can be happy with me."
Rena stared at the reflection of herself in the mirror, there was one way that Davin could escape from Alsa easily. Then Rena smiled sweetly while stroking her stomach.
