Dave rested his body in the seat of a car that was parked in the office parking lot. His mind was still floating, recalling the words of his mother that plagued his mind. Even until this morning, he could not think clearly.
Mama always believed in all your decisions, Dave. Mama is also waiting for you to come bring a daughter-in-law for mama.
A rough sigh rang out from Dave's direction. His heart felt heavy when he heard his mother's words. All this time he had no problem with his heart. In fact, lovers and marriage are such numbers. However, hearing the mother's words made him start to wake up.
“What have I been that too do not consider everything important, huh? I always stay away from women who love me and even reject me. Did mom just keep it?” dave began to doubt.
Dave clucked violently and chose to get out of the car. However, his eyes caught a figure that was no stranger to him. Bella´s. He quickly came out and looked at the girl who was walking slowly.
“Bella,” call Dave while waving.
Bella who was walking while holding the wound on the bottom immediately stopped her steps. His eyes looked at Dave who was running towards him.
“Keren,” muttered Bella when seeing Dave from a distance. However, he instantly threw away his foolish thoughts and looked at Dave respectfully. He was Dave's subordinate. Besides, he also realized that he was no one. Coupled with her relationship and Ryan's that's hard to explain.
“You left alone?” ask Dave while staring at Bella.
Bella nodded and started to throw a faint smile. “Iya, Sir. Kan I do not have friends who can be invited to leave together,” replied Bella casually. He tried to ignore his heart that was in ruins this time.
“Your lover didn't deliver?” ask Dave in full search.
Bella initially remained silent for a moment and shook her head. His lips forced a smile when Dave asked about his girlfriend. A lover? Even Bella is not sure if Ryan is her lover. Because, where there is a lover who hurts the woman he loves.
“He's right your lover? He doesn't even have the good qualities of you, ” Dave chirps that make Bella look at him fixedly.
Bella seemed to have misheard it. He was just about to say the answer, but was stopped by a reprimand at their back. Dave and Bella stared at the source of the voice. There was already Michael who was carrying a little boy who had been staring at them with a sharp look and a cold face.
“You guys why are you still in the parking lot? Don't want to go in?” michael was full of questions. He feels something strange is going on between Dave and Bella.
Bella wavers and bows her head. After saying goodbye, he immediately moved away from the two adult men. She was grateful because at least she didn't need to explain how her relationship with Ryan could be intertwined.
After Bella's departure, Michael sighed harshly and looked at Dave sharply. “Have you not been with Alice? Then why are you still approaching Bella, Dave?” michael asked with a questionable look.
Dave exhaled a rough breath and looked at Michael seriously. “I and..”.
“Uncle Dave and aunty Alice are not together, Dad,” cut Mikail with flat face. Michale who heard looked at Mikail with a questionable look.
“Ail heard mommy telling a story with aunty Rika on the phone a few days ago,” explained Mikai who understood the meaning of Michael's gaze.
Michael who heard looked at Dave for an explanation and just nodded. Michael who heard can only resign to the decision of his best friend this time. It was also impossible for him to force the two to be together.
Mikail looked at Dave with a flat look. “Uncle Dave, you really are a stupid man who lets go of good women. I hope om won't be a single man for life,” Mikai chirped with a cynical smile and stepped away. He immediately put on a headset that had been clad in his neck.
Michael who heard a moment of loud laughter saw Dave's expression that was still opening his mouth with a face of disbelief. Dave looked at Michale with an annoyed face that was already in the crown.
“Did you give your cool attitude to the child while in the womb, Ael?” asked Dave with irritated eyes.
“He's my son, Dave. So, without me even lowering her, she would be the same as me,” Michael replied casually.
Dave just shook his head in disbelief at the remark of Mikai, a six-year-old boy who is famous for his cold nature. Michael finally stepped in and brought Dave into the office. Although his laughter still broke every time he heard his son's words, making employees look at Michael with astonished looks.

“Bara,” says Surya with a startled look. He had not expected to see Bara before him today
Bara stepped in and sat on the chair opposite to Surya's desk. His face still looked flat, even when Surya looked towards him fixedly.
“What do you need to come to my office, Bara? Is there a problem in the branch office?” surya asked with anxious feelings.
Bara immediately dodged and looked at Surya sticky. “Nothing, Sir. I just came to say something important to you,” Bara replied in a firm tone of voice.
“Something matters?” reset Solar with wrinkled forehead, “what?”
Bara sighed slowly and looked at Surya who was also looking at him seriously. “I know about the degree and also my current position. I understand I shouldn't have done this. But I love your son so much, Alice. I apologize because in the end I made a matchmaking plan between Alice and Dave to fail,” Bara said at length.
Surya who heard looked at Bara so deeply, looking for where the lie from the young man before him was. Bara has a much younger age than Alice.
“You really love my son, Bara?” surya asked with a serious face. Ever since his son said he loved the young man before him, he had never asked what he had been worried about.
Bara who got the question immediately nodded in agreement. “I really love your child.”
“You sure you'll be able to be with him? She's much more mature than you.”
“No problem. After all there is no age limit to love,” Bara said casually.
“He can't cook.”
“I know that and I accept it.”
Surya who heard sighed slowly and stared at Bara lekat. “She is my favorite daughter, her only daughter. He was everything to me, Bara. She's a jewel in my heart. If you love her, don't make her cry. I hope you will make her happy as long as your breath is still there. I would never accept if there was a man who dared to hurt her.”
Bara who heard nodded steadily. “I will definitely make her happy.”
“You're serious about that?” Surya still felt no relief at all.
Bara nodded with a faint smile. “I am very serious. It was also my goal to come to your office. I want to ask permission to apply for your child, two more weeks.”
“I will wait for that,” replied Surya with a soothing smile, making Bara's face turn full of relief.
