Gavin felt weak when he had to lie and hurt Mochi. Gavin can't do anything.

"Gavin, you shouldn't have hurt Mochi" Ferry said.

"Gavin was forced, Pa."

Gavin looked out the glass window of Ferry's office. Gavin saw the vehicle passing by, alternating.

"Gavin, Papa it's okay, if this company is on the verge of boundaries, Papa only cares about your happiness," said Ferry.

Gavin turned to face Ferry with a sad face.

"Pa, the thing is, this isn't just Papa's company, but it has something to do with Mochi."

Ferry raised his eyebrows.

"You mean ?"

"Gavin can't tell a story, Pa. Gavin doesn't want anything to happen with Mochi."

Gavin looked at Ferry. Ferry wiped his face.

"I'm sorry, Papa, Gavin. Because Papa, your life is like this" said Ferry.

"It should be, Gavin who apologizes, Pa, because all the trouble comes from Gavin."

Gavin went back to the glass window. His current mood was mixed between sad and happy.

"Hello, Sister-in-law," said Leo who came with Geo.

Leo walked up to Gavin, while Leo sat in the front seat of Ferry.

"New candidate, not yet I give my blessing," chirped Gavin looked at Leo.

"Come on, Gavin, give me your blessing, I can't wait to marry Diandra" Leo complained.

"I can't wait to get married, can't wait for the first night" Geo said.

"Geo," Ferry scolds.

Leo stuck out his tongue mocking Geo.

"Prove first of all your seriousness. If you're still the same girl you said cousin."

"WHAT ?"

Leo grimaced listening to the very voice Leo memorized.

"RIGHT, IS THAT LEO WIRAWAN ?"

Ferry, Geo and Gavin pretend to be nonchalant. While Leo gurgled scratching his neck that did not itch.

Mochi daydreams in her room remembering the events of the other day, meeting Gavin. Mochi has been feeling weird since the past week. Mochi wanted something unusual. Like this afternoon, Mochi was eager to eat the meatball dumplings sold near Gio's office.

"Mochi, why do you look agitated dear ?" Rita notices Mochi when she opens the door to Mochi's room.

"No Bun, Mochi is eating" he chanted.

"Eat what ? let Mommy make it," said Rita enthusiastically.

Mochi shakes.

"Mochi wants to eat meatball dumplings near Gio's office, Bun." Mochi looked at Rita.

Rita was stunned approaching Mochi who was sitting on the bed.

"Why do you suddenly want to eat meatball dumplings, baby ?"

"I don't know, Bun, Mochi suddenly wants to."

"Mo, Mother is worried, if you ...."

Mochi looked at Rita.

"You, what Mother ?"

"Mother is afraid, you're pregnant."

Mochi gulped his saliva. Mochi lowered his head holding his flat stomach.

"Neither Bun, Mochi is not pregnant," Mochi shook her head.

"But, Mo—"

"Mother, Mochi isn't pregnant," cut Mochi looked at Rita with tears falling on Mochi's cheeks.

Rita wiped away the tears flowing through Mochi's cheeks.

"Mochi, if that were true, what would you do ?" ask Rita lirih.

"Mochi doesn't know, Bun. Mochi could not think anymore," Mochi retorted his gaze forward.

"What about Gavin ?"

"Don't you ever say Gavin's name again. Mochi hates Gavin !" hardik Mochis.

Rita holds Mochi's arm facing her.

"What do you mean Mochi ? why did you suddenly change ?"

"Mother, Mochi hasn't changed, the evil Gavin. Gavin could hurt Mochi again."

"No, Gavin isn't like that baby, you're wrong" said Rita.

"Mother defending Gavin rather than Mochi ?"

"Not—meaning Mother, can Gavin deliberately do that."

"intentionally ? Mother doesn't know, how Mochi saw with Mochi's own eyes, Gavin kissed the woman Mochi knew !"

Rita gave a rough sigh. Rita is convinced, Gavin won't hurt Mochi back. Something must be wrong, he thought.

"Mochi, Mommy wants to tell you something. But, Mommy hope, you believe," said Rita.

Mochi looked at Rita with a frown.

"Glho."

"Gio ?" reset Mochi.

"Yes, actually, Gio ... Gio ...."

"Gio what's Mother ?" mochi urged.

"Gio, have asked you to be a wife" continued Haris who stood in front of the door of Mochi's room.

"Wife ?" reset Mochi.

Haris limped with his cane to the bed.

"Dad, why use the stick again ? dad's leg still hurts ?" ask Mochi.

Haris smiles. Rita moved to sit next to Mochi to give Haris a seat.

"Mochi, I love you so much. I don't want anyone to hurt you" said Haris, rubbing Mochi's head.

"Dad is the same Mother why ? looks like you guys are keeping something from Mochi."

Rita and Haris looked at each other.

"No dear, Mother just wants you to get the best man, like your father who loves Mother for who she is."

"Rightly what your mother said dear, I just want your daughter to get the best man, will replace Dad."

Mochi looked at her father and mother. Mochi embraces Rita and Haris.

"You're Mochi's best parents."

Haris and Rita were crying in silence. There was nothing they could do, considering this was all for Mochi's sake.

"Well, he said he wanted meatball dumplings ?" Rita released Mochi's embrace, wiping away her tears quickly distracting Mochi.

"Yes, Mother. Mochi pep. But ...."

"But, what dear ?" exciting Haris.

"Mother with Dad, come with ya," pinta Mochi spoiled.

"Why should I join Mochi ?" sela Haris's.

"Not sure, Mochi is a big fan. Moreover, Mochi peng bribed with Father and Mother," said Mochi with sparkling eyes.

"Are you sure, baby ?" ask Rita to make sure.

Mochi nodded in spirit.

"Yaudah, Mother's father, get ready first baby," break up Haris.

"Mochi too" he said cheerfully.

Rita and Haris smiled. They moved out of Mochi's room. After Rita and Haris left the room, Mochi could not hold back his stuffing. Mochi was very scared, if it was true that she was pregnant. Mochi decided to check his monthly schedule on the calendar.

"This date, last month. Should have come this month, but why not yet ?" mochi's sigh bit his nail worriedly.

"After eating meatball dumplings later, stop by the pharmacy only time yes, hopefully, what I fear does not happen. I don't want to get pregnant with Gio's child" Mochi continued, sighing harshly.

Mochi started to prepare for the bathroom. Earlier, Mochi heard her phone ringtone ringing.

📞Gio calling ...

Mochi saw the nickname. Mochi snagat lazily picked up the call, but, Mochi was very curious why Gio called her.

"Hello"

"Hello, Mochi"

"Why else is Gio ?"

"I miss"

"Not to talk"

"You want to eat something again ?"

Mochi furrowed his brows.

"Kok, you know ?"

Across the phone, Gio smiled meaningfully.

"Guess it"

"Oh"

"What do you want to eat ?"

"Bakso dumplings near your office"

"Do you want me to take you home ?"

"No, I'm the same father, mother"

"Do you want to eat in my office ?"

"No, I don't work there anymore"

"Who said ? soon, you'll be an official in this office"

"I mean ?"

"Forget it, you're careful"

"Yes"

Tuts

Mochi shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Mochi only guessed, if Gio just happened to ask, without knowing the truth. Mochi continued her footsteps into the bathroom after putting the phone on the bed.
