Ivyna put a small tiara on Nadine's head as the finishing touch. Now Nadine's appearance as a bride is perfect.
"Done, you are ready to be a bride now" said Ivyna, looking satisfied with the results of her work.
Nadine looked at herself in the mirror with teary eyes. Then he turned his body and held Ivyna's hand.
"thank you. Ivyna's services are huge for me. Me and Edo won't forget it."
Ivyna scrunched her forehead. He really did not understand why Nadine was sentimental like this.
"It's my job as a make up artist, Nadine. May your marriage go well."
Nadine hugged Ivyna for a while and asked to be delivered to Edo. When the lovebirds met again, they immediately linked hands with each other. They are like Romeo and Juliet, inseparable from each other.
Edo rushed out his debit card and paid off the cost of make up and bridal clothes.
"Sir, later if there is a man looking for me please tell me that I have gone far" Nadine told Ivyna.
"Whose man, Nadine? And where are you going?" Ivyna was confused.
"I can't say it, Ma'am. Sorry, I have to go now."
Edo takes Nadine by the hand and takes her out of Ivyna's bridal salon.
Ivyna could only watch Nadine get in the car. The marriage of his client is very strange. No family or relatives accompanied them. Even the car they were riding in did not look like a bridal car. But for the umpteenth time Ivyna ignored all these peculiarities. His attention was distracted by the arrival of other prospective clients. After taking care of her, she will soon be returning home for dinner with the Adhiyaksa extended family.

Ravella settles down on a soft hotel bed. The smile never faded from her thin lips. An infinite sense of relief enveloped Ravella's heart after completing her task. Yes, he managed to convince Mr. Surya to use all cleaning products from his company. From today PT. Cemerlang Clean Equipment has become an official partner of Adhiyaksa Group. Nothing is happier than this reality.
Ravella wants to share this happy news with her twins, Marco and Mirel. Eagerly, Ravella grabbed her phone from the nightstand. But he had not been able to call, Marco first contacted him.
A small, shrill voice greeted Ravella from across the phone.
"Where is Mama now?"
"Mama's still at the hotel, Marco. Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning Mama returns to Bogor. What's up, honey?" ask Ravella.
"I called because Mirel was whining. He said last night he had a bad dream, Ma. Nih, he again asked for Mbak Sari's hug," explained Marco complaining about his younger sister.
Ravella's face turned anxious. Mirel had almost never had a bad dream. Is it possible that the little girl was scared because she was not home?
"Give the phone to Mirel. Mama wants to talk to him" Ravella told Marco.
"Mirel, it's Mama" Marco exclaimed from behind the phone.
After a few seconds, the sound of a little girl who loved Ravella was heard.
"Hello, Honey. Mirel was scared? What was Mirel's dream last night?" ask Ravella to worry.
"Mirel dreams of meeting a grown man. He was tall and his eyes were scary. He approached Mirel and Brother Marco and carried us out of the house. Mirel tried to rebel but the man said he was Papa Mirel. He'll take Mirel away from Mama."
Ravella's hand trembled at the story of her little princess. He nearly dropped the phone he was holding onto the floor. Is Mirel's dream a bad sign that their biological father will appear soon? Ah, it's impossible for a man who refuses to acknowledge his own son to suddenly come looking for them. After all, irresponsible men will not know of their whereabouts.
"Mirel, calm down. It's just a dream, a sleeping flower. Mama won't let the bad guys take Mirel away. Mama will definitely hit him and protect Mirel and Brother Marco. Now Mirel don't be afraid anymore" Ravella persuaded.
Ravella could hear Mirel's slow breathing.
"Yes, Ma. But when did Mama come home?"
"Tomorrow morning, dear. Mama's already bought Mirel's Unicorn doll."
"Hore, Mirel has a new doll."
Even so Ravella could not deny the worry of her heart. If one day that guy named Steven comes to take Marco and Mirel, then what should he do? Although on paper they are his children, but he is not the birth mother of Marco and Mirel. If the man demands custody in court, he will surely lose. Moreover, his status is still alone. Women who have never been married will not be trusted by the authorities to care for a pair of twins.
"Here you go, I don't have to think about this. Mirel was just dreaming. Besides, if that jerk dares to show up, I'll fight it all out,"
inner Ravella calms herself.

Tonight Cleantha and the King were so happy that their three children were gathered at the dinner table. It feels like they haven't been together like this since Alarick went on to study abroad. But now their proud son has come home with two undergraduate degrees at once.
Ivyna smiled happily too. He sat in the middle, flanked by his two handsome younger brothers. He is in need of eye refresh after tired of taking care of clients all day.
"Mom, Dad, I'm confused who to choose? Almero or Alarick?" tanyanya grinned.
"Pick me, honey. I'm still single. Brother Almero will soon be Marion's husband," quipped Alarick as he rubbed a piece of apple on Ivyna's lips.
Almero laughed at the silliness of his brother and sister. While Cleantha and the King just smiled knot.
Ivyna pinched Alarick's cheek with anxiety.
"But you're too young for me, handsome."
"Oh, so you like older men, Ivy. Don't you also like widows more than single men?" alarick asked raising both of his thick eyebrows.
"Hmmm, maybe. Graduates are usually more mature and experienced. The average single man is still childish. I often meet groom-to-be whose attitude is immature" replied Ivyna indifferently.
Cleantha immediately rebuked her daughter.
"Ivy, don't talk carelessly. Words are prayer."
"Don't be scolded, Mom. Maybe Ivyna's taste is like that" Almero chuckled.
"Rick, is it true that you want to work at another company as a regular staff?" asked the King to interrupt his three children.
"Yes, Dad. Mommy and Almero agreed. I want to gain a lot of experience while I'm young."
"How long will you be working and in which company?" ask the King to make sure.
"Maybe about one to two years. After that I will return to the Adhiyaksa Group. For his company, I'll choose among some of our business associates."
"I've prepared the list you asked for, Rick," Almero said.
"Thank you, Brother. Help me choose it."
Ivyna looked at Alarick's face with a serious expression.
"Wait a minute, how can you disguise yourself as an ordinary employee?"
"I'm gonna lose my last name. And I'll ask the company owner to keep my identity a secret as part of the Adhiyaksa family."
"That's not what I meant, Rick. Look at your handsome face and your magazine-like posture. Will they believe you're a regular person?" ask Ivyna.
"Rubber too. Why don't I think about it? It's a pretty tough thing" Alarick replied smiling smirk.
Ivyna turned the eyeball while propping up her chin with one hand.
"No need to worry. Have you forgotten who your brother is? I am MUA, a make-up artist who is adept at juggling people's faces from ordinary to enchanting. On the contrary I can also make the enchanting face become ordinary and even ugly like a ghost" Ivyna chuckled.
