The next day Carren woke up with a grateful heart, because he could wake up early in a better body condition. After the arrival of Mama Aaric, Carren increasingly thought of Aaric's health condition. 'What made her mother come to warn her? Was Aaric's headache related to his meeting that night?' It sometimes disturbs his mind and sometimes also interferes with his concentration while working.

Now he woke up early, because he would leave for Bandung together with his employees to prepare for his client's wedding. So, she took a shower and got ready before the driver came to pick her up. He will use the car Recky, so there is no need to rent a car for all those who will leave for Bandung.

The reception will be held on Saturday. So they have to arrive Friday in Bandung to prepare everything before H day. Ichad's car and Recky's car were enough for him and all the employees who were in, while the others were with two pic-up cars carrying their work supplies. Carren has bought another pic-up car to support his business that is starting to increase.

"Arra, let's have a fuller breakfast. Mama has prepared a snack for you on the road. Don't be too forced to work, share it with other employees." Said Miss Nancy dear, because the one who saw the face of her daughter more tapered.

"Yes, Ma. We work together ko'. Later from Bandung, Arra will rest for a while." Said Carren to calm his mother who was watching him with a worried face.

"If it's a job, you can share it with your employees. But if there is a personal issue, share it with your mother. Mama look lately, eat you just a little and your sleep is not good. You can't hide your problems with your dim eyes like that." Said Bu Nanci slowly, because he knew his daughter well.

"Later when I come back from Bandung, I will try to organize and arrange everything better, Ma. Now I can't say anything, 'cause everything's still cryptic, Ma." Carren said, then stood up to prepare what would be brought before the driver came to pick him up.

In another place; Aaric woke up rather late, because his sleep was restless and unsettled. He tried not to think about what had just happened to keep his head that was already giving the signal started to lighten. This made him try to sleep early.

Finished bathing and dressed casually, she came out of the room for breakfast. Aaric was a little relieved to see that Bibi had already come and cleaned her apartment. Jekob had already taken a shower and was sitting in the living room while working. He was relieved to see that his boss was up and taking a shower.

Last night he had entered secretly to his boss' room to see his condition. Despite his restless sleep, Jekob still felt restless. Because for him it's better the boss is agitated, than there is a headache.

"Have you had breakfast?" Aaric asked, when he saw that Jekob had started working.

"Already, Sir. I asked Auntie to make some fried rice, because she was so hungry." Said Jekob then stood following his boss to the dining table to accompany his boss breakfast.

"Bi, I have a little breakfast, because soon it's lunch." Said Aaric seeing Bibi want to serve a plate of fried rice. He was not hungry and did not eat.

"Jekob, today I'm not going to the office, if you want to go to the office today, please. I work from here." Said Aaric, because he felt not eager to move outside.

"I work from here too, sir. I have something to talk to my father about. Sapta gave the information, Miss Carren is on her way to Bandung." Jekob conveyed what Sapta had told him.

"No, Sir. Miss Carren left for Bandung with her employees. According to the Sapta members who secured Miss Carren, they have a job in Bandung. They're handling the wedding there and it's gone from morning." Jekob explained again what Sapta said.

"Then tell Sapta that the members are told to stay in the same hotel as Miss Carren, if they stay in the hotel. Where they live, try to live there too." Said Aaric then stood in the room to pick up all his work supplies.

He also checked the GPRS installed in Carren's car. When he saw it had moved, Aaric felt relieved Carren used his car to Bandung. He left it in the room and took it and prepared all the equipment for work.

While looking at his personal phone, Aaric was surprised to see the misscall of Recky several times this morning. He called Recky immediately.

📱"Alloo, Brother. Brother from where?" Recky asked in response to her brother's call from the morning.

📱"I just woke up, took a shower and ate. So just saw a cell phone." Aaric explained, in order for Recky not to think much about it.

📱"No more pain?" Recky asked, so anxious to find out Aaric just woke up.

📱"No. Last night was pretty tired, so overslept. What's the call early in the morning. Are you getting bored?" Ask Aaric to galvanize Recky's talk about her.

📱"No, Brother. It's still a busy picture. Wiliam likes to play and work from here, so no problem. I called this morning because I wanted to ask my sister. Have you ever met Papa?" Recky asked quietly, as he knew his brother was angry with their Papa.

📱"Why suddenly ask about Papa? You want to meet her?" Aaric asked surprised by Recky's talk about Mr. Biantra, their Papa.

📱"No, Brother. Just last night Papa's dream. I saw Papa himself in the fields, looking for something in a panic. I'm thinking, don't let Papa find me. So the phone wants to help brother. Maybe you can ask someone to tell Papa, I'm fine. Don't let Papa get sick again." Recky explains his goal of calling Aaric many times.

📱"Sick again? Is Papa sick?" Aaric asked in surprise at what Recky had said.

📱"Setauku, no, Sister. Only Papa used to get sick from thinking when he left home. Papa was admitted to the hospital, so I was very angry with my brother. Seeing me angry, Papa asked to leave the hospital and work again. It was as if nothing had happened, but actually Papa kept thinking about Big Brother. The body was very thin, because it was too busy to work." Recky told me what she was going through when her brother left her.

📱"Because of my dream last night, I remembered Papa. Don't let Papa get sick because his mind doesn't know where I am. So if you can, you ask someone to help you tell Papa I'm fine. While this just wants to be alone, so can't call Papa." Recky said slowly, remembering and worrying about his Papa's condition.

Aaric sat down on the sofa of the room, after hearing what Recky said. She did not expect her Papa to experience that when she left. Anger towards his Mother and the helplessness of his Papa kept him from thinking about his Papa's feelings.
