"Don, Ayuna!!" Refa.
"Huh? What's up?" tanyakanya.
"I should ask, why are you?"
"I ... No, I'm fine." Ayuna immediately entered Al's room.
"That's weird!" Refa back to their table.
"Sir, this is the latest file from Mr. Brian." Yuna put it in front of Al. Alvaro checked the documents.
"What's wrong?" Al saw Yuna since daydreaming.
"No. Was that man Mahen's dad?" ask again.
"Yes." replied Al.
"Then, who's the guy with her?" Al stopped his activities and turned to him.
"He's Leo, his personal assistant." replied Al. "Why are you asking about him?" Al stared.
"T-no. I just feel like I've seen it." Yuna replied unconvinced.
"really? Where's?" Ayuna.
"Let's go, I forgot!"
"This. Ask your partner to give it to Jo." Al gave the file back to him. Ayuna picked it up and immediately walked out.
"Darling." call Al, Ayuna turned her head.
"Don't forget after this we'll be out." Al reminded.
"Yes." Yeah." Yuna smiled at him, then closed the door to Al's room.
"Is that him?" candra asked as they were in the elevator.
"It seems right, sir." replied Leo.
"Did he recognize you?" tanyakanya.
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem to be."
"You keep watching him. Make sure he knows you or not. I don't want him to be a problem for me." he ordered.
"Good, Sir."
"TING." the elevator door opened, they immediately got out of there and walked towards Mahen's room.
"TOK TOK." Leo knocked on Mahen's door. After getting the order to enter, they immediately entered his room.
"Father! What's papa doing here?" he immediately stood up when he knew that the one coming was his papa.
"Papa wants to talk to you." Candra sat on the sofa there, as well as Mahen.
"What would you like to talk about?" tanyakanya.
"Explain to me, is it true that you heard last night?" Mahen had already guessed what Candra wanted to know.
"Yes, everything is as you have heard" he replied.
"But why should he? Is there no other woman?" Mahen took a deep breath.
"I just want it" she replied.
"What makes you want it so much. Papa is sure that out there, many want you to be their partner." he explained.
"I don't care. All I want is Ayuna." Mahen went back to being stubborn.
"Did she have the same feelings as you?" Mahen was silent, he knew that Ayuna only considered him a friend.
"If it wasn't for Al, I'd have gotten it." Mahen suppressed his jealousy.
"Do you know who he is?" Mahen nodded.
"She was the woman who was with Al when the abduction took place." Candra stared at him. "But I don't care." he continued.
"But Mahen ..."
"If papa's here to tell me to back off like everyone else, you better go home" he said.
"Papa won't ask you to step back" he replied bringing a breath of fresh air to Mahen.
"Then?"
"If you want to get it, then you have to beat Al." Mahen was surprised to hear that.
"Over this time your barrier is Al. So, if you can beat him, then that woman will definitely leave Al and run off your arms." Candra poisoned her mind with her dirty idea.
"Pap doesn't challenge me?"
"For what? You're my son, so it's appropriate that papa supports you." Mahen smiled happily. "So you have to be strong. Take back what is yours. This company is yours too, you deserve to be CEO here." Candra provokes her own son to fight Al.
"But how?" Mahen seemed to think.
"There's one way to bring it down. Papa is sure that by doing so, he will self-destruct" he said.
"What?" Mahen is starting to get affected.
"Tell the world about the disease she's craving. That way, the shareholders and investors will not be able to trust and cooperate with him." Candra tells Mahen her bad plan. Mahen looked at him as if he did not understand.
"But, pa ..." Mahen hesitated.
"That's the best way. Papa was sure that that woman would leave him."
"But, Ayuna is not a matre woman." Mahen disagreed Candra said Ayuna was like that.
"Papa knows. But, everywhere women need both moral and financial support. Why do you think he's staying with Al? If Al falls, there'll be no place for him to lean anymore." Candra just kept poisoning her son's mind.
"I'll think about it." she replied. After a long conversation with Mahen, Candra left the Ivander Group.
"Find out more about the woman" he orders Leo to drive.
"Good, Sir." Leo saw it through the spy.

"Where are we going, Al?" Yuna kept asking their purpose.
"You will know."
"What is that answer?" Ayuna was not satisfied.
"You sit sweet, and follow me." Ayuna pouted as Al was still reluctant to tell her where they were going. Al's car penetrated the streets of the capital that is still struggling with traffic. Until they arrive at a place that is no longer foreign to Yuna.
"Why are we going to Gilang's boutique?" tanyakanya.
"You'll know when it's inside." Al clasped his hands and they walked together into Gilang's boutique.
"The last thing to come is also." Gilang had already welcomed them.
"Are we late?" tanyakanya.
"Not really, I know how busy Mr. Alvaro is." Gilang took them to his room.
"Well, young lady, what kind of dress do you want?" Gilang asked Yuna, Ayuna looked at Al. He doesn't understand what's going on.
"Yet? What's for?" tanyakanya.
"What is Al? Have you said anything to her yet?" ask Gilang.
"Not yet."
"Oh my goodness, Al! Then I'll give you some time. Explain to him first, I can't do it without his consent." After saying so, Gilang left them in his room.
"What's up, Al? Explain to me!" sue Yuna.
"Look, I want to formalize our relationship. So, I asked her to make a dress for you." she explained.
"Al, how can you make such a big decision on your own?" Yuna looks upset.
"But, don't you love me? Then, what's wrong if we immediately formalize this relationship?" ask Al.
"There's nothing wrong, Al. But, the way you're wrong. You should have asked me if I agreed or not" he said. Al sat down and held Yuna's hand.
"Because I'm sure you'll agree, that's why I make this kind of suprise" he said gently. "You're not going to reject me, are you?" Yuna looked at the man who was currently waiting for her answer.
"I won't reject you, but can't you do it like the other couple? Our engagement by agreement, is marriage also by force?" tanyakanya.
"I can't be like anyone else. This is how I am! If you want me to treat you like a queen, then marry me, be lawful to me. I will color your life with happiness. I'll show you my side you don't know." Al saw a puddle of water fertilized Yuna's eyes. Alvaro took out a ring that had been neatly tucked away in his suit pocket.
"So, will you marry me?" Al faithfully awaits Yuna's answer.
"Of course, I want to!" Yuna hugged him tightly. Her happy tears spilled as Al put the ring on her sweet finger.
"I promise to make you the only queen in my life. I'll replace the bitterness I've inscribed with love and happiness." said Al earnestly.
"I believe you." whispered softly in Al's ear.
