One week later, Davin returned to his apartment, retreating a few days from the man's estimate. He was with Sherly who continued to struggle spoiled in the arms of the man. The beautiful woman greeted Alsa who opened the apartment door for them.
"Hi ..," said Sherly kindly and only replied an awkward smile by Alsa. The attitude of the woman is now better than the first time visiting their apartment.
"How are you, Dek? I'm sorry you're too busy, so you can't call" Davin said, hugging Alsa. He missed the tiny figure that had always accompanied him all this time.
"Good, Brother ... How's your own brother?"
"Hm, good brother too. But, Brother misses you." Alsa was silent when she heard Davin's words, she felt like she was being hugged by her older sister first.
The girl closed her eyes, a hint of pain pierced into her heart as she recalled that Alea was gone. However, he was still grateful that God replaced Alea who always loved him with an older brother as good as Davin.
Even so not necessarily Alsa forgets Alea, for him Alea is the best big brother figure in the world.
Davin took off his embrace, looking at Alsa with a warm look. The little girl was very similar to the late wife.
"Oh yeah, Alsa, are you okay sharing my room with me?" sherly's voice interrupts Davin's enchanted gaze upon Alsa. The girl nodded.
"Here's aunt, Alsa help lift the suitcase." Sherly grimaces to hear Alsa call her aunt. Yes, indeed she was much older than that SMU girl. However, Sherly does not want to be called aunty. Makes him look upset.
"Don't call aunt dong" Sherly protested, pursing her lips. Alsa scratched her right cheek clumsily.
"Call me, Miss," said his pe-de, making Davin giggle.
"Miss? Huh!! It's a shame that he doesn't have to be trusted. Understand the deck, he again halu," Davin's speech successfully made Sherly snort annoyed at the man, even now both eyes have been squeaking staring at Davin.
"Hell it again! A sneak of my cake can't be shy."
Alsa giggled amusedly at the two adults who were debating like SD children, making them aware and returning to wibawanya mode. Davin cleared his throat slowly and entered the man's room.

Alsa who had realized her feelings for Ken, made her wrong behavior in front of the idol. However, he also felt his heart ache when Tyas clung to the man.
And now Alsa is on her way to the mall with Tyas and Ken, but in the middle of the show around the mall, Alsa sees Sherly sitting on a long chair located on the floor divider.
Sherly is eating ice cream cone without a care around. Alsa invites her two friends to approach Sherly and the woman smiles happily when she sees Alsa walking up to her.
"No stray dong, can enter the mall but don't know where the exit is anymore." Alsa giggled amused to hear Sherly's words that were too honest.
"Emang first new brother into the mall, is that it?" ask Tyas to make sure. There's no way a guy like Sherly's glamorous makeup, but he's never been to the mall.
"No, it's usually the same thing. Sa, we're shopping yuk," Sherly asked while shaking Alsa's arm.
"We're going home, brother. There are a lot of big sister's groceries. Later brother Davin angry loh," Alsa's advice. Sherly just pursed her lips in annoyance.
"Yes, but next week we'll go together, okay?" sherly asked enthusiastically, and was very happy to be embraced by Alsa.
The girl helped carry a paper bag containing Sherly's groceries, while the woman continued to hold Alsa's wrist.
Sherly who is hungry eyes can not see the clothes displayed on the storefront. However, Alsa does not let the woman spend her money on unimportant things.
Attracting and persuading Sherly is no easy feat, either, even now the four of them are the center of attention due to Sherly who continues to try to enter the clothing store but continues to be pulled by three teenagers while persuading the woman relentlessly.
Alsa would think a thousand times to go to the mall with Sherly.
Now they have reached the apartment Alsa, her brother has not returned from the office he said there was a meeting with a client from Japan.
"Yeahh." Alsa breathed a sigh of relief, immediately she sat on the front sofa of the tv that Sherly had lit.
Meanwhile, Sherly is busy rummaging through her groceries.
"Sa, this is for you." Sherly gave me an ivory white paper bag.
Alsa opened it and it turned out to contain a beautiful knee-length dress as well as a beautiful watch that was in color in line with the dress. But Sherly's dress is too revealing and sure Davin won't let Alsa wear it.
"Make me?" ask Alsa to make sure.
"Yape! I saw that dres at the mall. I thought you'd be a good fit to wear this dress, okay?" sherly asked as she handed him a smaller paper bag, "nih."
Alsa opened it and it turned out to contain a medium-sized and soft-scented expensive perfume, Alsa liked it very much.
But he was confused as to why Sherly had suddenly become so kind to him. He wanted to ask, but was interrupted for fear of offending Sherly.
"Thank you, brother," said Alsa sincerely. Sherly is still glued to see Alsa's sweet smile, it's fitting that Davin loves the girl so much, she's so sweet. Sherly thought then she smiled happily.
Hopefully Davin will be interested in me after seeing my kindness to Alsa. Sorry Alsa, I had to be a tool for your beloved brother's heart. And after Davin fell into my arms, you'd be my neighbor all the way.Inner Sherly
