"Where's papa?" once home from work, Mahen immediately headed for the main house.

"Your father's here." Before the waiter answered the question, Candra had already interrupted.

"Pa's." They hugged.

"How are you?" tanyakanya.

"I'm good. Why didn't you tell me you were going home?" they're heading for the couch.

"Your father purposely gave you suprise." Soraya answered him. "Come, let's eat first." take her.

"I'll take a shower first." Mahen left them to his room.

"I haven't seen him in a long time" said Candra.

"You're too busy anyway."

"Well, you're right! I can't leave my company there." she replied. "Where's papa?" He asked Hans.

"Papa's in his study." answered Soraya. "Well, that's papa coming." Hans walked towards them.

"Come, we'll eat!" said it.

"Awhile pa, we wait for Mahen." sidelines Soraya.

"Where is he?" ask Hans.

"That's." Everyone looked up at the stairs.

"Sorry, I'm late." Monika also joined them. They had dinner together.

"What about your company?" hans asked Candra.

"Good." he replied.

"Good!"

"Did you hear you're working with Al now?" Candra asked her son.

"Yes" he answered.

"Then, how's your cafe?" tanyakanya.

"I monitored him after work" he replied.

"That's great! You should have walked with Al." Candra glanced at Hans who was engrossed in eating.

"I heard Al's engaged, really?" tanyakanya.

"Yes." Yeah." Soraya answered the question.

"Then, where are they?"

"They live in an apartment." replied Monika.

"Who's fiancee? From which family?" everyone is silent.

"You must know him." Hans, who had been silent since, finally opened his voice.

"I mean papa?" tanyakanya.

"I'm sure you know what I mean." Hans looked at him sharply.

"I don't understand what you're saying." he said.

"How long is papa here?" Mahen broke the tension between them.

"Maybe a week" he answered.

"A fast pace? Stay longer." ask Soraya.

"Depends on how long I can finish my work here." Candra held his wife's hand.

"You're a strange couple, why don't you go with Candra?" Monika who had been a listener since then finally interjected.

"I can't leave you alone." Soraya stared lovingly at the only parent she had.

"You just go, I can take care of papa." Candra stared at him.

"No, Ma'am, me and Candra have agreed to always accompany papa." he refused, Hans did not say anything.

"Just as you guys." Monika came back with her attitude.

"And you, Mahen? When are you gonna catch up with Al?" ask Candra.

"Come away!" the answer.

"Why? Have you not found a woman worthy of you yet?" Soraya was worried, she was afraid that Mahen would say something. Mahen looked at Hans.

"Already." he replied. All eyes were on him.

"What are you waiting for then? Bring him and introduce him to us." he asked, Mahen looked at Hans.

"What if I take her, then this family will agree?" tanyakanya.

"We have to see first what your chosen woman looks like" he replied.

"Why? What do you want to know about him?"

"You take it first, introduce it to me. After that, papa can only decide if he deserves you or not."

"Everyone in this family knows what he looks like. In fact, they know he's very deserving of being part of the Ivander family." Hans was still looking at him, as was Mahen.

"Papa's getting curious, take him to see me tomorrow" he said. Soraya grew increasingly agitated, she unceasingly turned to Hans and Mahen.

"Unfortunately, I can't." Candra could see the sadness in her son's eyes.

"Why?" he's confused.

"He can't have." Candra is getting confused.

"What's wrong with you? Why can't you have it?"

"He belongs to someone else." Soraya was grateful when she heard Mahen's reply.

"Why then should you give up? If she deserves it, then fight for her." Without knowing who the woman she was referring to, Candra encourages her to take Yuna.

"Can papa help me?" tanyakanya.

"Of course!"

"Then bring him from Al."

"Mahendraa!!" hans yelled, who had been trying to hold back his emotions. Everyone was surprised, including Candra. "So what you say!" threaten her. His eyes looked very sharp, there was anger.

"What does this mean?" Candra was really confused.

"Your son loves his sister's woman." replied Hans. Mahen put the rough spoon in his hand.

"Grandfather's favorite granddaughter took it from me."

"Nobody took it, they loved each other." - Hans.

"Grandfather always defended her." Mahen left the dining table.

"Mahen!!" call Candra.

"Darling, wait!!" Soraya. "Mahen, wait!!" he clutched his hand.

"What else, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"Darling, why are you acting like that?" said it.

"Oh, I'm lazy here. Everyone is the same, no one supports me." Mahen left the main house. Soraya was still stuck in her place looking at Mahen's car that had moved away.

"I'm first." Monika left the dining table and went up to her room.

"What's this?" candra asked, currently there is only herself and Hans.

"Don't you know?" Hans asked back.

"So you mean, my son loves that woman?" reworked.

"Yes. The woman who was with Al when the kidnapping happened." Candra looked at him looking for honesty from Hans words.

"But how can it be?" he still doesn't believe it.

"I've approved of Al's relationship, so it's your job to convince Mahen that Ayuna is not his. Don't bother them, they've had enough injuries." Hans stood up and left him.

"Siang will clear my schedule." he ordered Yuna.

"Why? Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

"I have business, and you have to come with me" he said.

"Where are we going?"

"You will know."

"Sir, outside there is Mr. Candra who wants to meet you" said Refa who is now in front of them.

"What do you want?" Al asked himself. "Send him in."

"Good, Sir." Refa back to the outside.

"Who's Al?" ask Yuna.

"Papa Mahen." the door opened after Al answered Yuna's question. Seen, two men in suits walked towards them.

"How are you?" ask Candra.

"As you can see." Ayuna could see Al's unfriendly attitude, Ayuna turned to the man.

"I'm sorry, sir." Yuna walked out of Al's room. Candra kept watching him, as did her assistant.

"What do you want?" al asked after Yuna came out.

"Why are you still that rude? I came to see Mahen" he said.

"You're in the wrong room if you want to meet her."

"I knew. But, it wouldn't hurt if I wanted to see my niece, would it?" they looked at each other, only the two of them knew what their gazes meant.

"No need to talk, just say what you want." Al knows the nature of Candra.

"I heard you were engaged. So where's the woman?" tanyakanya.

"Why are you so curious about my woman?" Al asked back.

"I just want to know, what kind of woman has made both Ivander's successors enemies." Candra looks so haughty.

"No need to pretend, I'm sure you already know what he's like." Al did not lose. He is convinced that Candra is the mastermind behind his kidnapping. Candra smiled sinisterly upon hearing his words.

"Then, where is he?" Candra looked towards Yuna and Refa through the glass of Al's room, Alvaro realized that.

"You don't need to know. If there's nothing you want to say, you better get out." Al.

"You're still the same" he said in response to Al's expulsion. "Come on." take her to her assistant.

"I'll take this to Mr. Al first." Yuna brought along some important documents they had just obtained from Al's business partner.

"BRUKK!!" the documents in Yuna's hands were scattered, as she accidentally bumped into Candra's assistant.

"I'm sorry, sir." Yuna crouched down and leaned back the documents.

"It." Candra's assistant gave the documents that were nearby to Yuna.

"Thank you ..." Ayuna was transfixed when she saw the dragon tattoo on her wrist.

"Come." take Candra to him, Ayuna took the document from her hand. They walked to the elevator. Ayuna was still staring at the man.

"It seems I've seen that tattoo. But, where?" inner Yuna.
