The sun was already overhead, the lunch hour had arrived, Andreas invited his co-workers to lunch together but Hans refused and said goodbye to go home. They walked together towards their cars.
Anna was very tired, wandering around the project grounds, sweat flooding her face, but it did not detract from Anna's beauty. He sat in the car, Hans saw Anna's face sweating, he gave a tissue, Anna took a tissue and dried the sweat from her face to her neck. Hans was still holding the tissue box and looking towards Anna. She noticed Anna stopping her hand.
" thank you" Anna tilted her back to Hans.
" why are you turning your back on me?" hans asked strangely to see Anna
" i'm not comfortable at seeing you "Anna answered without turning her head.
" do you want to have lunch together?" Hans placed a box of tissue between the two of them.
"No sir, thank you, I have to go home and clean up, my body is sweaty and dusty" Anna smiled at Hans and tidied up her seat.
"all right, take Hana home" Hans orders the driver.
"Today you meet me in the office" Hans said
"Good sir"
***
The car stops right in the yard of the house, Anna immediately opens the door and exits the car.
"thank you for delivering me"
Anna knocked and opened the door slowly, she saw Grandpa sitting in the living room, was watching the news on TV, Anna approached Grandpa, kissing the back of her hand
"home home?" grandpa smiled
"yes, Anna was clean first" Anna kissed grandfather's cheek and passed up the stairs to her room. Anna put the bag on the reading table beside the bookshelf, she immediately entered the bathroom, finished cleaning herself out using a towel white to the knee, towards the wardrobe. When opening the closet and changing clothes Anna always sees a glass box that she no longer wants to read. I don't know when Anna will accept the fact that her father is a married man. If the mother is not selfish, the mother should not marry a father who has had another family. I need to throw away my love for Dad.
Anna immediately changed her clothes and closed her wardrobe. He rushed to the kitchen to make a simple lunch. Anna immediately invited grandfather to lunch together.
As usual Anna Tidied the dining table and cleaned the tableware.then she headed to the living room to meet Grandpa.
" Anna "grandfather sat in the rocking chair of Grandma's
" yes "Anna chews on boiled potatoes sitting on the sofa in front of the television.
" have you read all your mother's letters "Anna saw grandfather, silent for a moment.
" Anna hasn't read mom's letter"
" why "
" Anna's still a lot of work"
" do you hate your mother "
" no "Anna smiled
" do you want to listen to Grandpa?"
" of course" Anna approached
" Grandfather will tell you about your father"
" Anna is not ready to cake, Anna does not want to ruin the happiness of the father's family with his wife, Anna does not want to expect more from the father" Anna tendered her body on the sofa closed her eyes.
" Anna was happy with the love, the affection of her grandparents, it was enough for Anna" Anna smiled walking over and hugged her grandfather.
" nobody could make Anna fall in love" Anna let go of her embrace
"or I don't want to fall in love" whispered Anna
Grandpa did not expect his grandson was a strong woman and thought adults were not selfish like his mother. Anna can be patient not to look for her father and not meet her mother. Anna is quite satisfied with just the affection of her grandparents.Grandfather knows Riana loves and misses Anna very much. Riana always sends money for Anna's needs through a bank account in the name of Anna that Riana had made before she left Anna, but her grandparents never used it. They live in simplicity, Anna always gets a scholarship when she goes to school.

The Hendrick Ferdinand House
Hengky lay his body on the bed, he deliberately went home early, felt his body was not healthy or was missing someone who had not met for a long time, almost 1 month Hengky did not meet Anna.
"When are you going back to the office?" hengky's thoughts drifted to Anna's house.
There was a knock on the door of the room disperse the reverie of Hengky. Door opens. A tall handsome man with an affectionate gaze, walked into the room.
"are you home?" tanyanya stood in front of the door.
"brother" Hengky got out of bed and hugged his brother named Harry Ferdinand
" when's brother back?" ask Hengky
" just got to"
" good, I miss you so much, are you going to settle down?"
" I don't know, Papi asked me back, come down, let's have lunch together" Harry pulled his sister's hand down the stairs to the dining room.
Papi and Mami have been waiting at the dinner table.
" Sit down" ordered Hendrick papi of Hengky and Harry, They ate together without a sound, papi Hendrick was a cold man, he only spoke as necessary. Since Hendrick's business marriage to Luciana, he has become quiet and hard on educating children. There's no love between Luciana and Hendrick
"finished lunch, we gathered in the living room" Hendrick took the rice, he never wanted to be served. He never put a burden on Luciana. No love no hate, Luciana got everything except Love Hendrick, Luciana still can survive.
After a chatless lunch, they headed for the living room.
"Sengky, you have long veranda out there, now you have to return to the company papi, tomorrow you already have to resign from where you work "command Hendrick staring sharply at Hengky
" Harry, Papi hope you're ready to replace the papi in the Company, you have to work together" Hendrick moved from his chair to his study.
" you two go with Papi to the study!"
Hengky and Harry looked at each other, then they saw Luciana who was not in the room. Hendrick remained the same, he never gave warmth to Mami Lusiana, no affection, he would speak if it was necessary. But they can't blame Papi Hendrick, Luciana has explained the marriage agreement between Hendrick and Luciana,
Luciana is a legitimate wife who will only be the mother of her children but will never be the one whom Hendrick loves.
Luciana allows Hendrick to marry his lover without the knowledge of Hendrick's parents even his two children do not know, whether until when they will keep the secret.
Luciana simply smiled at her two sons and nodded. Hengky and Harry walked together towards Papi's study.
"I didn't get Hendrick's love but I was quite happy with my son's love" Luciana muttered inwardly and kept smiling.
Luciana is happy to be the mother of Hendrick's child, she is happy to be able to live with the people she loves, she feels sorry for Hendrick not being able to live with the woman he loves, even though they love each other.
"love is not strong enough to live together"
