"What did you say?" oma was still shocked by the news she heard.
"I'm sorry, I! But you have to know all this. I don't want any lies between us." Hans stared at the grass in the tomb of his brother Bima.
"Explain to me." pinta oma Tyas.
"Come, I'll explain everything to you." Hans helped her up. They walked back to the car. Oma Tyas could not wait for all the explanations from his best friend. Taking only 10 minutes to travel, they arrived at a park, Hans brought omabTyas to sit on a bench protected by a large tree.
"After the kidnapping tragedy Al was hospitalized for 1 week. Upon realizing it, he immediately asked the girl who was with him. At that time, I was only focused on my grandson's recovery. I only know that the daughter who was with him survived and is already with her family. I didn't know that it took the lives of her parents." Hans knew maybe this would make Tyas hate him again. But, he had to say all this.
"Then, what about Al?" ask oma.
"He's trying so hard to find your grandson. He didn't even care about his legs which at that time couldn't walk. Until finally the mama berinisatif said that the daughter with him had died."
"PLAK." oma Tyas slapped Hans in the face.
"What are you saying? How can you lie by saying something bad about my granddaughter?" Oma was re-emotional.
"I'm sorry." Hans regretted his actions.
"You guys are really outrageous" he said with a flushed face.
"That's the only way to stop Al. He really wasn't willing to give up on looking for Ayuna" Hans replied.
"Then, did it work?" ask Oma.
"No. He is not a little boy who can be lied to. He knew that we were all lying to him. Therefore, I was punished by being separated from him until now." oma Tyas began to look calm, his breathing regained order, no longer the anger that was seen to him but rather the sense of pity seeing the middle-aged man in front of him.
"It's only right that she lives alone in the apartment." oma recalled how she asked Yuna to pay more attention to Al.
"I really regret it! If only I had helped her to find Ayuna, it was possible that at this time my family would not have been scattered." oma leaned her body on the bench they were sitting on.
"It all happened, you can't repeat it all. So, what about the kidnappers? You guys caught them?" Hans shook his head.
"To this day they have not been found. Alvaro doesn't recognize them. My only hope is Yuna. Did he ever tell you about that?" Oma Tyas let out a long breath.
"He never wanted to talk about it" he replied. "Ayuna was always silent when I tried to ask her. She blames herself for what happened to her parents" she explained.
"Tasya, can I ask for your help?"
"What?"
"Please keep this a secret from Ayuna." Hans asked. "You once said we didn't have to interfere in their affairs." oma Tyas knew what Hans was worried about.
"I won't say anything to her." oma looked at the blue sky, fortunately the tree that protected them was so shady that the scorching sun did not burn their skin. They dissolve in each other's minds. There was only the sound of laughter from some of the children running around.

"What are you asking me to meet?" gina asked as soon as she arrived at the Star Cafe. Due to orders from Al, Jhosua had to ask Gina.
"I need your help" he answered.
"What?"
"It." Jo crossed her thumb and thumb. Gina felt her face flushed red, and her heart was racing. "Do you know what this is?" ask Jo. Gina nodded slowly. "What?"
"H-hm, That's ..." Gina bit her lower lip, she hesitated to tell Jo.
"What?" jhosua.
"I-I .. I love you!" the water that Jhosua drank spurted upon hearing Gina's reply.
"Are you okay?" Gina took a tissue and helped wipe Jhosua's wet suit. Jo's heart seemed to stop, sweat droplets drenched his temple as Gina stood so close to him. Jo could smell the shampoo from Yuna's hair that had part of her face covered.
"I'll just." Jo picked up the tissue Gina had in her hand, her hands were shaking and it felt so cold. He quickly wiped his wet coat. "Why did you suddenly express your feelings for me?" ask Jo.
"Me?" Gina pointed at herself. "Aren't you the one who expressed love to me first" he said.
"Huh? When?" Jo is confused, as she never expresses feelings for Gina.
"Didn't you just say it through this." Gina repeated what Jo had done before. Jhosua was confused.
"What does this mean?" Jo went back to making a little heart using her hands.
"I love you." replied Gina. Jhosua began to understand, he laughed out loud. "Why laugh?" ask Gina.
"So you're saying this means I love you?" Gina nodded. "It's weird, how could a sign like this have such great meaning." Jo is still laughing.
"Other than that?" Jo is further confused by the term Gina mentioned.
"The fans of Korean dramas." he explained, Jo mangosteen. "Why are you suddenly asking me that?"
"Sir Al asked me to find out the meaning of the sign." he explained.
"This must be Yuna's job." guessed it.
"Well, you're right." Gina laughed, she imagined how confused Al was guessing what Yuna was doing.
"You should know this too." Gina put her hands on her head.
"What's that?" Jo shields her chin.
"This means I love you so much." Jo endlessly smiled at Gina who explained everything to her. "Let's when Yuna acts up again, you won't be made dizzy by Mr. Al." he explained, they both laughed because they both remembered the embarrassing incident earlier. And all because of Alvaro's innocence.

"Do you know what that means?" al asked as they were just the two in Al's room. Ayuna had just come out after handing over some of the documents that Al had requested.
"I love you, Sir." Al dropped all the documents he was holding, he walked backwards away from Jo.
"You better stay away from me. Go see Andreas!" said it.
"Why, Master?" Jo is further confused at Al's sudden change in attitude.
"Begging him to take you to a great psychiatrist. This is the result if you are late single" he said. Jo scrunched his forehead.
"Why should I go to a psychiatrist? There's nothing wrong with me." Jo doesn't accept being told to check on her psyche.
"What's not wrong? You obviously have sexual perversion. How can you show me love?" Al back to his desk.
"Sir, you misunderstood!" Jo approaches her, she tries to straighten out Al's misunderstanding.
"Stop!! Don't come any closer!! shout Al.
"Sir, I am not expressing love to you" said Jo. "This means I love you." Jo went back to making a little heart using her hands. Al looked at him sharply.
"So you mean, the sign Yuna made means I love you?" Jhosua. "Who told you that?"
"Gina, Sir. He said it was a sign that young people used to do today. And you can also do something like this to express your feelings." Jo imitates Gina's movements by bending her hands over her head.
"What's that?"
"I love you so much!" Al understood.
"Alright, you can go back to your room" he said. Jo walked towards the exit. "Did you do it in front of Gina?"
"Yes, Sir." Al laughed loudly, until it sounded to Yuna's desk. Ayuna looked at Al's room. He was confused as to what was going on in there.
"I can imagine what happened between you." ledek Al. Jo could only smile in embarrassment.
"What's up, Jo?" yuna asked as soon as she saw Jhosua coming out of Al's room.
"There's nothing, miss." she replied, then rushed into her room. Yuna was getting confused, she was very curious about what was happening. Ayuna stood up and left her desk.
"Sir, what happened to Jhosua?" yuna asked as soon as she got in front of Al.
"Jo? Why with?" ask Al.
"I just saw him come out of your room with a face that looks like a boiled crab." Alvaro heard Yuna's words. "What's wrong with them?" inner Yuna.
"It's all because of you." replied Al.
"meaning?" Yuna was very confused.
"Nothing" replied Al, Ayuna was upset at not getting the answer she wanted. He rushed towards the door, but Al prevented him.
"Darling ...!" call Al. Yuna turned to him with a sullen face.
"I love you!" Alvaro imitated Jo by arching his hands in his head.
"Oh, so sweet!" yuna shouted, she did not expect her fierce CEO to be able to do such a haphazard thing.
