Two years have passed since Melodi's departure from the Mahendra family home. Hito often goes home until the morning. Because in addition to his busy life at the office, Hito is always invited by Feli to have fun or just accompany him.
At first Hito always refused Feli's invitation, but because the girl always had many ways to make Hito feel sorry for him, Hito obeyed.
One night, Mahendra deliberately waited for Hito to come home because he wanted to convey his plan to visit Melodi this week. Mahendra misses Melodi a lot, because since his departure, the atmosphere of the house is very different. Although Melodi always took the time to call Mahendra on the sidelines of his busy life, but Mahendra still felt very lonely.

The sound of Hito's sports car engine was just heard entering the yard at three in the morning, Mahendra who was previously excited because the person he was waiting for had gone home, suddenly shocked to see Hito coming home drunk.
"Hito, since when did you become this drunk?" Mahendra approached Hito who staggered.
Hito ignored the existence of Grandpa Mahendra who had been waiting for him since, with a little of his strength still remaining, with a little more, He walked up the stairs until he almost slipped because of his walking way that could not be perpendicular and straight.
Mahendra held back his anger, because he knew it was useless to scold people who were drunk. His initial intention to speak to his grandson was no longer in his interest. Finally he sent a servant to help Hito walk into his room.
***
The next day, Hito and Mahendra meet at the dinner table to spend breakfast together. Hito's face looked pale, there were dark circles under his eyes, it was of course due to the condition of Hito who was drunk overnight, so Hito had a hangover in the morning.
Mahendra orders the waiter to bring Hito an aspirin, "Drink, the medicine will reduce your headache!" Mahendra gave Hito the aspirin and immediately ordered Hito to take it.
Hito felt awkward when his Grandpa found out about his condition, but he grabbed the medicine and immediately drank it in front of Mahendra.
Did Grandpa see me drunk last night?
"Te.rthank you, Kek" Hito thanked him while stammered for fear that his guess was right and his Grandpa would be angry with him.
Beyond Hito's expectations, Mahendra simply nodded thinly and continued his breakfast without any more talk between them.
***
After Hito leaves for work, Mahendra calls Leo to face him in the study.
"Leo, I want you to do a special investigation for Hito", Mahendra let out a long sigh, "That kid, has been coming home late at night drunk. Make sure who he's hanging out with?" Mahendra orders to his assistant, Leo.
"Good sir."
Until now, Leo had not known about the closeness of Hito and his daughter, Feli did not lie when the girl said her father did not have time for her and was just busy working, but was not lying, in fact, Leo spends more time serving Mahendra. Leo will not think twice when Mahendra tells him to come even on holidays. I don't know what will happen when Leo finds out that his own daughter has been a bad influence for Hito.
"Just....!!!" Leo's cry was able to be heard amidst the loud music in that place.
Feli, who was still in his full consciousness because he had just drank half a glass, was shocked to find his father standing up and shouting his name.
"DAD..." Feli's mouth opened because he could not believe what he saw.
Leo glanced at Hito who was similarly surprised, he stepped up until his position was right in front of Hito.
Hito immediately stood up from his seat, he was about to say something to make Leo not angry, but unexpectedly, Leo was still very polite and bowed his back to pay respect to Hito.
"Young Master, you better go home, because the Great Master is waiting for you at home." Said Leo politely.
"Ba.ik Uncle" Hito glanced at Feli whose position was behind Leo, as if he wanted to ask how about the girl, if she would go home with them.
Leo understood Hito's intentions, then said, "My men will drive him home, let my Young Master deliver."
Leo beckoned his men to immediately take Feli and drive him home, after which Leo allowed Hito to follow him.
Turns out to be true, Uncle Leo prioritized me and Grandpa over his own daughter. It's very Cassian Feli.
Hito felt awkward in the car, Leo sat in the front seat next to the driver, while Hito sat in the passenger seat in the back. Hito watches Leo from the rearview mirror in the middle of the car, noticing whether there is anger in Leo's face because all this time he has closeness with his daughter without Leo knowing.
When the car carrying Hito arrived at the courtyard of the House, Leo got down first to open the door of Hito, and after that Leo invited him to sit on a chair in the garden of the house, to speak four eyes.
"Young Master, I apologize for my daughter's kindness to you, this is all because of my inability to properly educate her." Leo suddenly apologized for the mistake he did not make, making Hito stunned and feel guilty because he should be the one who apologized for having kept a secret about his closeness all this time with Feli.
"Uncle, I'm the one who's wrong about this, please Uncle don't apologize to me. I know, Uncle must have gotten orders from Grandpa to follow me after I got caught coming home drunk last night."
Leo gave a slight nod confirming what Hito said, but Hito could see the worry in Leo's eyes, perhaps Leo was thinking about, what he would say to Mahendra if it turned out that the person who brought bad influence was his own daughter.
"Uncle, may I ask you something?" Hito said it enthusiastically.
Leo looked at him, then nodded his head again, "What do you ask Young Master?"
"Please don't tell Grandpa that I have a close relationship with Uncle's son, and Grandpa will never know who I'd be with if I went drunk. Uncle can tell Grandpa that I'm going with a boy friend." Hito delivers on his true plan to protect Leo and his daughter.
Leo was stunned expressionlessly, regardless of what consideration Leo was thinking. Hito who had known Leo since childhood, only this time he saw the middle-aged man looked confused and frustrated in carrying out his duties.
