Gio woke up from his sleep because his throat felt dry. As he was about to get up, his movements stopped when he saw a faithful little hand holding his hand. Ara fell asleep beside him in a sitting position. Gio sighed softly, seeing Ara reminding him of the incident earlier in the afternoon made his anger re-peak. He hates being lied to. Seeing Ara who accompanied him to sleep made Gio a little unbearable, especially when remembering Ara who calmed him earlier. Gio's eyes turned on the wall clock that showed at 8 p.m., making him again sigh slowly. With Ara her sleep was much calmer.
Gio moved slowly to release Ara's grasp and was about to lift the girl's body towards the room to rest. However, not yet Gio touched it, Ara had already woken up and looked at Gio who was now crouching beside him.
"Bother ya?", asked Gio gently rubbing Ara's cheeks.
Ara silently gazed for a long time at Gio who was gentle with her. Gio was not angry anymore.
"Kok daydreaming?", asked Gio staring at Ara in the shade.
Without saying much, Ara hugging Gio wrapped her hands tightly around Gio's waist leaving the man confused.
"Why ?" tanya Gio gently rubbed Ara's hair.
"I'm sorry", great-grandson Ara quietly.
"Make ?",
"I lied to you. I don't mean, Gii", replied Ara.
Gio's hand that had moved from now on rubbed Ara's hair stopped at the same time as Ara who loosened her embrace and looked at Gio guiltily.
"Sit down, clear first" said Gio, sitting on the sofa followed by Ara. The flat face of the man made Ara a little scared. The girl lowered her head to play her finger while Gio continued to highlight Ara with his flat gaze. Ara sighed softly trying to bravely return Gio's gaze.
"I'm sorry I lied to you. I came home with Ken this afternoon. He came begging me, and he kept saying that if I wanted to go home with him today in the future he would not bother me anymore. Yes I want it to be good enough to let him go all the way from me and not bother me anymore, because I don't like it" said Ara slowly looking into Gio's eyes.
While Gio was staring at Ara with a look of disbelief, what a trifle was his courtship. It was just an excuse, he believed Ken would not keep what he said. Gio really does not believe Ara will obey Ken's wishes because he believes in Ken's words.
Gio grunted harshly at Ara's behavior which turned out to be 11 12 with her sister's behavior. Equally innocent nudging bego.
"Deketan", said Gio made Ara shake her head slowly.
"Don't want to",
"Why ? Want the same Ken?", asked Gio cynically.
"No", said Ara shaking quickly. "You're still angry, I'm scared" Ara's great-grandson.
"Deketan Ara" Gio's words emphasized on his words.
With courage, Ara shifted a little to make Gio squash himself.
"Come closer" said Gio annoyedly.
Ara tightened her body at Gio for fear that the man was getting angry. Without saying much, Gio immediately hugged Ara trying to dampen her anger that was still left behind when remembering the incident.
Surprised by Gio's response, Ara just pecked at him thinking Gio would nab him but he didn't, instead embracing him.
"Other times if there's anything to tell you the truth, I don't like you lying" Gio said softly.
"I would obviously be angry but would be even more angry if you lied like that" Gio continued.
"Why if you're wondering, what if Ken did kayak yesterday again" asked Gio in a row.
"I'm angry because I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you're okay" Gio said slowly.
Gio did not hear Ara reply to her words at all, the girl simply hugged Gio tightly and submerged her face in the chest of Gio's field.
"Huaaaaaaaaa hiks", the girl was crying out loudly to make Gio shocked.
"Cock cry", asked Gio loosened his embrace and cupped Ara's cheek.
"Hey. Why?", asked Gio in a panic.
"Hiks is sad, I think your hyks will be angry" Ara said as she pleased.
"I've made a mistake but you can still be gentle like that to me hiksss" said Ara increasingly crying making Gio chuckle in anxiety.
"Udah iih, don't cry" said Gio softly.
"If the cry is ugly" said Gio trying to comfort Ara.
Ara wiped her tears then looked up at Gio.
"I love you, Gii. Very", said Ara slowly.

Early in the morning, Gio was already irritated by Arsal who had come to visit him in the apartment. Instead of leaving the office, he came to disturb her. For whatever sake, Gio was eager to gag Arsal's unceasing mouth and asked him this and that. Gio was lazy to answer every question Arsal asked. Instead of what, the question really isn't that important. Speaking about last night's problem with Ara, everything's settled. Both of them have made up with the record that Ara can not lie anymore, clearly Ara will agree to it without hesitation.
"Lo know not, mama last night almost hung me because of Ken who ngadu if I hit him even though he was not" continued Arsal staring at Gio with a mouth that continues to chew his snacks. His brother was indeed morally poor, just because Arsal entered his room without permission to make Ken angry and complain to his mother. Even dare to make a lie if Arsal had hit him. Already accustomed to Ken's behavior, Arsal was only able to wipe his chest patiently.
"She who snapped me even I who complained mukul",
"Sal.", call Gio to make Arsal look at Gio.
"Do I need to buy sewing needles?", asked Gio with his flat face.
"Teach me to be a guy kalem dong, Gii", chirped Arsal who actually did not pay attention to the question Gio who thinks is not qualified.
"Shut up", Gio replied briefly.
"Well that's the case" said Arsal flicking his finger. "Gue can't be quiet" Arsal said.
"It feels like if I stay still, the world is not okay anymore" Arsal said.
Gio snorted softly at Arsal who was actually displaying a shitty face.
"Well, by the way about Ken. When do you want to talk to him?", asked Arsal began to get serious. Gio who was about to get up from his seat now sat back quietly looking at Arsal.
"Maybe not" Gio replied casually.
"Why?, isn't it good that you find him and explain everything" Arsal said frowning in confusion.
"Would he want to see me, would he believe. I don't think so", said Gio.
"Lo don't want to design all this?", asked Arsal slowly.
"Who wouldn't want to, Sal. But everything is so complicated" Gio said.
"Everything will not be complicated if one of you is willing to give up" Arsal replied.
"You who are both egotistical and stubbornly united like this will not be finished if you do not reduce your own ego. Like gini, the stone met the end stone will break" he continued.
"Gue's got an ego, wants to talk well but he's so loud and thinks it's all my fault" Gio replied.
"Gue's not wrong but having to go through it all by myself, it's not easy for me" Gio said again as he lowered his head tired.
"Gue's tired, wanting to get away from all this", great-grandson Gio slowly.
"Dreams, nightmares?" asked Arsal.
"Not often, always", replied Gio.
"Come Gii. Meet him, explain everything", Arsal persuaded.
Gio was silent for a moment. He didn't just want to be sure Ken would never listen to him. Gio used to be reckless to meet Ken and want to talk about everything but still ended up those who fought jotos, instead of making the problem solved it will only worsen everything.
"He won't believe it either", said Gio then left Arsal who was only able to sigh slowly.

Ara stared uneasyly at Rania who was standing before her. When he was about to head to the office, Rania came to confront him. Guess what was discussed with Ara now. Yep, about Gio.
"Ara come on", persuaded Rania to slowly shake Ara's arm.
"Later on, I want to work first" said Ara trying to get away from Rania. If this continues, Ara can be late to the office, where earlier he had said if Gio did not need to pick her up.
"But it has to be a promise" said Rania.
Ara was a little surprised by Rania's attitude which seemed to slowly change like it used to be so spoiled for her. Even so it is undeniable that Ara is happy for Rania to return to her former attitude.
"I don't promise, Nia. We're different offices, I rarely see him. Anyway I can't interfere too much in the affairs of the two of you" said Ara trying to give understanding.
"But why?, aren't you close. And don't you become her sister's private tutor" said Rania surprised Ara, from where Rania knows.
"Do you know where?", asked Ara.
"Grandmother", answered Rania briefly.
"I can't, I want to finish my internship and college first so I can't help you much" Ara replied slowly.
"I have to go, Nia. You also have to go to the campus, so don't skip it" said Ara pushing slowly Rania's body towards her car. Then the girl walked away from her house looking for a public vehicle.
Rania looked at Ara in silence, there was an angry feeling that Rania pendam when she heard Ara's words, obviously they have a relationship but Ara lied and said if she rarely met.
"The two will take what should be mine",
