(Family) Bound
The Heart that Re-Open

Shaka arrived home around 12:30 in the morning. He walked towards his room in shaky steps. His body and mind were so tired. So many things happen in a matter of hours.

He opened the door of his room slowly, unwilling to wake Kira who must have been sleeping. Shaka smiled seeing Kira curled up on the bed with messy bed linen and blankets that were scattered to the stomach. Unlike the habits of Kira all this time who always sleeps quietly. Shaka was sure his wife must have been agitated by not sleeping in his arms.

Shaka opened the bathroom door and cleaned himself up. After finishing and putting on sleeping pajamas, Shaka climbed into his bed carefully. Slowly, Kira's pale face and then kissed the forehead, cheeks, and lips of the woman who had been her soulmate since 16 years ago.

Kira looks disturbed because Shaka continues to kiss her face. Slowly she opened her eyes and saw Shaka looking at her.

"sorry. I woke you up." Shaka said while pulling Kira's body in his arms.

"When to go home, Bie..??" Kira asked as she returned Shaka's embrace.

"just now. Probably about 20 minutes ago." Answer Shaka.

"Have dinner..?? Want me to prepare a meal for you..??" Kira asked as she raised her head.

"I'm full. Eat with the kids." Shaka answered and buried his face at the top of Kira's head, inhaling the scent of his wife's hair.

"How did it go..??" Ask Kira again.

"All is done. I have evidence and witnesses that I am innocent. I'm not the cause of Vino's death." Shaka replied with great relief. He tightened his embrace on Kira.

"REally..?? Thank goodness, Bie." Kira said while kissing her husband's face because of his leg.

"Who did it then..?? Do you know the guy..??" Ask Kira again.

"Fabees. He is now the owner of Orange Clock. I'll immediately hand over the evidence against Fabian, so he can be rewarded for what he did." Answer Shaka.

"Be careful, Bie. He's a dangerous man." Kira warned.

"certain." Sahut Shaka while gently stroking Kira's back.

"From the beginning I was sure you were innocent. Now it's proven." Kira said while laughing softly and then buried her face into the chest of Shaka's field.

"Thank you for always trusting me and staying by my side." Shaka Whispe.

"I love you, Bie." Kira lirih. His eyes slowly closed as he was no longer able to resist his sleepiness. Shaka smiled and kissed Kira's forehead.

"And I love you so much." Shaka whispers before finally catching up with Kira to dreamland.

The atmosphere in Shaka's house was very boisterous. Tonight Edo will propose to Luna. The Hardisiswo family and the Rahardian family all gathered to prepare for all the necessities. Even Mahesa and Vivi took the time to come from Belgium to attend the event. They all did not want to miss one of the important moments in Edo's life. Of course, the atmosphere of the day was getting crowded due to the endless debate between Darius and Mahesa.

Shaka looks more cheerful and looks happy. The misunderstanding between her, Sister Hani, and Rosi is over. They finally believe that Shaka is innocent. Justin is tracking down Alvaro, the son of Vino and Farah, to be reunited with sisters Hani and Rosi. While Wira, currently still in recovery. Wahyuni and Justin also agreed to adopt Wira as Wahyuni's son.

Shaka has submitted evidence against Fabian in the case of Vino's death and police are investigating. But Fabian himself was too slippery to catch. He had even fled just before the police came to ask him for information.

With the permission of Sister Hani, the skeleton of Vino's body was excavated for a visa. The problem is, Doni who was the main witness to the incident suddenly disappeared while under police supervision. But the footage of Doni's confession Alex kept could be used as evidence by the police. The police also warned Shaka and his three friends to be more careful because Fabian was a dangerous person.

Edo with his initiative has opened his own business in the form of a car and motorcycle workshop. Edo started his business after hearing that Shaka had financial difficulties due to an incident with the Scarlett group.

Edo's workshop is not large, but enough for his own living expenses. Although of course, Shaka insisted on giving Edo some pocket money. Hans was truly grateful to Shaka's family for taking good care of Edo and being affectionate.

While Luna, with the support of Edo and his family, his psychic condition is getting better. Luna not only undergoes therapy but also joins the community for the women victims per*saan according to Ratna's advice. There Luna meets women whose fate is even worse than her and they strengthen each other.

Hans smiled and looked at Edo. Although only 21 years old, his son is an adult and will soon lead a new life. Hans turned his eyes to Kira. The woman was sitting on the sofa accompanied by sisters Hani, Edna, and Vivi. Although his face was very pale, but Kira's face looked sparkling.

"Papa." Call Edo.

"What's up, Ed..??" Hans looked up at Edo.

"Opa really can't come..??" Edo asked with a disappointed face.

"Opa a lot of business in Germany, Ed. There's a little trouble there. But opa promised to come at your wedding." Hans calmed Edo down.

"What about papa..?? When all is done, will you still return to Germany..??" Ask Edo again.

"Papa should come back, Ed. Poor opa Peter. It's time for Opa to rest." Hans replied again.

"Just calm. Papa won't force you to come if you don't want to." Hans understood Edo's thoughts.

"Eeeehhmm. excuse me." Call a woman.

"Tante Rianti..?? Aunt when is coming..?? Who's here..??" Sapa Edo's.

"Hello, Ed. Congratulations on the proposal. Aunty here with Jasmine and Ranu." Rianti replied while pointing towards Rania who was already cool talking to Jasmine. Also Nara who was fighting with Ranu.

"Tante came to deliver some of the delivery your mommy ordered." Said Rianti again.

Hans was silent for a moment and looked at Rianti meaningfully. He seemed to be hypnotized with Rianti who looked sweet even with his simple appearance. Rianti who felt noticed became embarrassed and awkward.

"Pa..!!" Whisper Edo while elbowing his father's stomach.

"sorry. Hans. Edo's Papa." Hans said as he extended his hand to introduce himself. He smiled and looked reluctant to take his eyes off Rianti.

"I'm Rianti, sir." Rianti shakes Hans hand and smiles.

"Call me Hans. Or mas." Or." Hans said with a surprised face as if he could not believe what he had just said.

Edo raised his eyebrows to see Hans' teenage-like behavior falling in love at first sight.

"Good.. Mas's.." Sahut Rianti with a sweet smile.

"Rianti, sorry to keep you waiting so long. Pak Tarno was ready up front. You delivered by Mr. Tarno only yes." Shaka said after being close to them.

"No need, Ka. Take the angkot. I used to ride a motorcycle or an angkot with kids." Reject Rianti.

"can't. Kira can sulk for days if I just let you and the kids go home in angkot." Deny Shaka.

"What were you here for, Rianti..??" Hans asked in shock.

"So I took a taxi online because I had to bring some delivery of Kira's order. Usually take the bike." Answer Rianti as he is.

Hans was just about to talk when Kira called Rianti back. Making the woman leave Hans who can not take his eyes off the woman who still looks beautiful at the age of 38 years.

"eeehmmm.. Pa, Rianti's aunt is pretty..??" Edo asked disperse Hans' daydream.

"Opaan sich, Ed. He has a family." Hans's sigh that seemed unwilling when he said it.

"So if aunt Rianti doesn't have a husband papa would deketin him..??" Goda Edo's.

"I mean..??" Hans asked curiously.

"Rianti is a widow of two children, Hans. She divorced from her husband 5 years ago, because her husband cheated on her and secretly married another woman." Said Shaka who immediately understood Edo's insinuation to Hans.

"His ex-husband must be a stupid man..!!" Hans's murmur did not accept.

Edo giggled at Hans reaction, ignoring the sharp glances from his father.

"Since then Rianti worked hard alone to meet the needs of his two children by opening a small catering business at home. He is close to Kira because it just so happens that his two children are in class with Rania and Nara. So Kira used to meet Rianti a lot while dropping off the school children." Shaka.

Hans was silent when he heard Shaka's explanation. His views continued to follow the movements of Rianti.

"Sheaka.. Edo.. Hans. I said yes." Pamit Rianti's.

"Let me drive you home." Hans said quickly.

"What..??" Rianti, Edo, and Shaka together.

"Why..??" Hans asked with a face that somehow looked stupid. Shaka immediately responded and smiled.

"Rianti, let Hans drive you and the kids home. Let him know your house. So he's not up to recokin me and Kira." Shaka said as he glanced at Hans who instantly glared at him.

Rianti turned towards Hans who he thought was looking at him with a hopeful face. I don't know for what reason.

"alright. As long as it's not a hassle." Answer Rianti.

"No. Not a hassle." Sergey Hans is quick. Making Edo and Shaka desperately hold back the laughter.

"We're leaving now..??" Hans asked who suddenly looked awkward and embarrassed to realize his ridiculous manner.

"Can." Rianti answered and called his two children.

"Looks like your papa Rianti." Shaka said after Hans went to take Rianti and his two children.

"Come, dad. Everything was seen very clearly. Papa does like Aunt Rianti, not like her anymore." Edo Protests. Shaka laughed at the protests from his son.

"What do you think..?? Doesn't it matter if Hans remarries..??" Ask Shaka.

"When with a good woman like Aunt Rianti, I have absolutely no problem. I'm just worried that papa really wants to live celibate for the rest of his life. Papa and Aunt Rianti are young and have no partner. After all, papa has been widowed for too long and Aunt Rianti certainly needs a father figure for his two children." Answer Edo wisely.

"Then you should start convincing your papa to approach Rianti. If they are suitable, tell him to tie Rianti up. You know for yourself that the name of a young widow must be targeted by many men, especially the striped nose. Moreover, a beautiful young widow like Rianti." Shaka.

"Don't worry, dad. I'll make sure Aunt Rianti becomes my stepmom." Edo answered with conviction. Shaka laughed at Edo's determination to find a mate for his father.
