"Alex." Shouted Ayuning's mother when she saw Alex who hit hard on Kartika's smooth cheeks.
"Tell me how much you're asking?" Ask Alwx out loud.
Kartika rubbed her cheeks and smiled while looking at Alex.
"What's this about? What the hell's going on? Alex explain it to me." Tanya Ayuning started to panic.
"Mother, I don't want to marry this woman." Alex said while pointing at Kartika.
"What did you say Alex. No way, your marriage is two days away. Where is it possible to cancel."
"Just tell me how much you're asking.?"
"I'm just asking you to be my husband, nothing more and nothing less." Kartika replied with a challenging voice.
"Basic.." When Alex wanted to slap Kartika for the second time, Kartika swiftly held Alex's hand. Then Kartika quickly hid behind Ayuning's mother.
"I'm just asking for responsibility, not for your money and property." Kartika.
"Here you are, here." Alex pulls Kartika's hand so as not to hide behind her mother's body.
"Alex, stop." Said the mother.
"You set me up. You put something in my drink." Alex said while pulling Kartika's arm.
"Get you out of my mother's house, and don't expect me to marry you." Alex immediately threw Kartika's body on the floor, making Kartika fall down.
"Whatever happens to this marriage must continue." Said the mother.
"No." Deny Alex quickly.
"I don't want to marry a snake woman."
"Snakes? Just be right. I am a human being not a snake. You're blind" muttered Kartika while standing.
"You heard, right? So what am I repeating." Challenging Kartika makes Ayuning shake his head.
Ayuning already knows, who Kartika really is. Therefore, Ayuning immediately agreed to marry Kartika and Alex. And also, Ayuning is very fond of the jovial nature of Kartika, giving laughter and warmth.
"Si." Bait Alex
"Mom, let's go inside." Take Kartika while raising her hand on Ayuning's arm.
"Mother, mother's speech and cries are good too. Well I didn't expect that the door that used to be this great." The scales of Kartika but can be carried by Alex.
"Door?" Muttered Alex.
Door, that word. The word he always uses to call himself. He often exchanged letters with a woman he admired and loved. But why can Kartika say that. If only the Sahara knew that word. Alex was silent while staring at Kartika and also the mother who was now walking into the house.
"He's sneaky. There's gotta be something she wants from me and from mom." Said Alex.

"Where are my grandchildren." Oma said as she walked into Alex's house.
"Where are Mora and Molki?" Ask me if I'm back.
"Miss Mora is in the room and also Mr. Molki. But..." Ratih did not continue his words, he immediately took the pepperbag brought by Ayuning.
"What's going on? Did Alex punish Molki again?"
Ayuning can already guess, if Alex returns to punish Molki. And this isn't the first time Alex has been like this. Alex educates his son in his own way and will without knowing what his children want. Because for Alex enough money can make Mora and Molki happy.
"Give me the key to Molki's room." Pinta Ayuning's.
"But madam..."
"Nothing but. If Alex is angry, I can be angry too."
