Today is exactly 3 days Muti died but nothing has changed in the white house is now getting quieter.
"Honey, eat first" persuaded Gio.
This was the fifth time he had tried to persuade Ara to eat a little, but the girl only shook her head by looking straight ahead with her blank stare.
During these three days as well, Gio and Gea stayed at Ara's house to accompany the girl, fearing something unwanted might happen. Three days after her grandmother's departure, the girl was more silent and daydreaming, her eyes moist and her chaotic appearance was enough to explain if she was really hurt, not to mention her family who always blamed her.
The departure of her grandmother was the heaviest blow that Ara received. Nothing will be okay if loved ones leave. As with Ara, even Gio had to try hard to persuade Ara just to eat.
"Let's dong darling, you haven't eaten lo all day", persuaded Gio again but there is no response at all. She was confused as to how else to persuade Ara, her sister was also not here to help her. Normally, Ara would eat if Gea persuaded but now, her sister was leaving she said there was a group assignment from campus.
"Ara's been studying naughty?", asked Gio slowly.
"Yes, Ara wants to be a bad girl now", she asked again and successfully, Ara turned her gaze to Gio.
"Ara doesn't want to eat, wants to get sick, wants to make grandma sad there?", asked Gio again.
Ara just silently looked at Gio who was now looking at her with her trademark shady gaze.
"Ara wants to see Grandma happy?", asked Gio who was slowly embraced by Ara.
"Rise up, baby. I know you're sad, but until when you want to torture yourself like this, grandma won't like to see you like this. Want a sad grandma?", said Gio stroking Ara's cheek, again only got a response by the ring.
"If Ara wants grandma to be happy, Ara must rise and not be sad. Don't bother grandma there, baby. In this way you have troubled him" he continued.
The teary eyes looked at Gio who had been so patiently facing him.
"We may be sad, may cry but do not forget to rise again, life is still long dear. There's a lot you have to go after for proof to grandma, dad, and mom if you're a strong girl and you can be happy with them",
"They always watch Ara from there", point Gio at the blue sky through Ara's window which is wide open.
"Don't feel alone, there's still me, Gea, dad, mom, Dara, and everything else",
"Make me your place, if you want to find me, if you want to complain, if you lose your way, I will always be behind you. I'm always ready and there for you",
Obviously Gio is long. Gio did not not not understand Ara's condition, but he did not want Ara to always dissolve in her sadness. She wants her cheerful and chatty girl back again.
"May the hug?", asked Ara raspingly.
Gio looked at Ara in disbelief, after three days of not opening his voice, Ara finally wanted to talk to him.
"Here's the hug" said Gio stretching out his hands ready to greet Ara.
Ara shifted her seat and entered into Gio's embrace, leaning her head against Gio's field chest, enjoying the gentle strokes on her hair and back.
"Sorry", he said.
"Surely you have trouble looking after me from yesterday, tired huh?", he asked looking up.
Gio kissed the girl on the forehead before saying "No words of tired affection and don't always apologize".
"Thank you" said Ara again hugging Gio.
"For what?",
"Everything's up. Thank you for taking care of me and always there",
"Anything for you, baby"
"Don't be sad again yeah, we're passing it together. Want to?", asked Gio who was immediately embraced by Ara.
Gio smiled faintly, took off their embrace and kissed the entire face of the girl. Ara chuckled slightly making Gio sigh in relief. That smile is what she missed.
"Now Gio is beautiful to eat first so as not to get sick" said Gio again offered Ara a meal.
The girl no longer refused to make Gio swiftly take the food she placed on the table and feed Ara painstakingly. Not staying still, Ara took a spoon from Gio's hand and went to feed Gio.
"His handsome Ara also has to eat",

Ken stood looking at dozens of photos of beautiful girls still attached to the walls of his apartment room. The girl's smile always managed to calm her down. His heart ached slightly as his eyes unintentionally stared at one of the dozens of photos that were there. Photo taken by USG a few years ago. A photo of his son in Aluna. To this day, he still could not make peace with the circumstances and himself. Just below the photo, a photo again makes his emotions provoked. Photos of the four of them. The photo that Ken hated the most but strangely he also did not want to make the photo.
"What are you doing?", asked Veronica who had just entered.
Ken did not respond or look at all, his eyes were busy observing one by one the photo.
"Hmm", he said.
"Beautiful" said Veronica again.
He knows Aluna, Ken told me everything yesterday. Starting from Ken who is friendly with Gio, Aluna who is pregnant with her child until Aluna who has to go first with the child she is carrying. Veronica knew everything from Ken's story yesterday.
Ken turned around to watch the woman's face closely. Her hands slowly raised hugging Veronica, she missed and only this woman could treat the taste even if it was just a little, very little.
"Gue kangen Ve", said Ken.
There was no reply, Veronica just silently rubbed the gentle back of the man.
"Why did he leave me so soon. It's torturing me", Ken lamented.
"Gue loves him, what a pity. But he left me",
"Lo won't leave me too right?", asked Ken after taking off his arms and looking at Veronica with a sad look.
Veronica shook her head with her warm smile, "no way" said the beautiful woman.
Ken again hugged Veronica tightly as if the woman was just his and would not let go.
"My company continues", she asked, making Veronica nod.
"Gue hope one day you can see me too and your heart can be full to me", said Veronica.

While on the other hand, Rania stared fiercely at someone who now forced her to come to the large and luxurious apartment.
"It doesn't bother me anymore" annoyed Rania.
He hated to keep dealing with this man. Bisma, his ex-girlfriend. Actually he does not hate anyhow Bhishma is a meaningful person in his life, only he does not like if Bhishma always meddles in his affairs.
When he was about to meet Ara to give him a warning, again Bhishma prevented him until finally here they are now, the luxury apartment owned by the man.
"Can't you, you stop bothering Gea and Gio constantly" Yisma jolt dislikes.
"Why, do not like lo?", reply Rania no less upset.
"He's your best friend and Gio's sister's boyfriend lo...",
"Well why, what is the same relationship?", asked Rania still in the same tone, high.
"Stop Rania, you why be kayak gini" said Bisma was not out of thought.
"Don't always use Gea to get Gio and don't you ruin your brother's happiness by grabbing Gio. This is not the Rania I know", continued Bisma.
The Rania she knew was a kind, cheerful and gentle girl. She had never seen such a rude and vindictive Rania.
"IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF LO",
"SUFFICIENT RANIA", snapped Bisma tired.
"IT'S NOT ME, BUT LO'S ENVY THAT MAKES LO KAYAK GINI", he snapped with a high tone and a hunting breath, he's really emotional now
Rania who saw it suddenly stepped back, afraid because just this time Bisma seemed to be this emotion.
"Stop before you regret. Ara brother lo, the girl is good and as long as I lo also equally good, but why now you become gini. I miss you guys getting along, I miss my old Rania", he said weakened.
Rania's eyes glazed over ready to cry, Bisma who saw Rania's frightened look, rubbed her face rough. He's released again.
The bisma pulls Rania into her arms, trying to calm the girl down.
"I'm sorry, I'm released" he said slowly.
Suddenly, Rania's cry broke. He was also tired like this of wanting to make peace but that envy and resentment always closed his eyes whenever he saw Gio and Ara so close. Blaming others for circumstances that are not on his side.
"Gue hated lo" said Rania as much as he could and hit Ken's chest.
"Gue hope you think clearly, Nia. Ara needs you" said Bisma kissing the top of the girl's head.
"Gue needs you too"
