"I'm not keeping you. We keep temen. You're the one who always says, until whenever we just temen."


As in reality throwing, Rena rounded her eyes. It was indeed a sentence that was always thrown from his mouth. So long put feelings for Nathan, he only considered the sister of his one-sided love was a good friend. Karel was always by his side. He never left or turned away from the girl. That is why Rena considers that Karel will always be there for her whenever and wherever. But suddenly the man had to subordinate himself for one reason, Acha.


"Don't cry just for a guy who doesn't even appreciate you. If you want to talk, you can call me. But I can't always be there for you anymore. Hangout with your friends, have fun, and find a better guy than Nathan. It's time to live a new life." Karel took Rena out of his arms, "Now you rest. Don't be sad anymore. I go first" said Karel with a sweet smile on his face. He briefly rubbed Rena's hair before turning around and disappearing behind the door.


Rena just stood there, staring at the empty door that was now tightly closed. Seconds by seconds passed. The door did not open again. Karel is really gone. He did not even have any thoughts and ran through the door. Rena's knees are squeezing. He fell down with tears without a sound.

Karel could not wait to walk. He ran down from his private jet towards the villa. The sun has risen. What if Acha wakes up without finding him in the mansion?


Justright. The girl was grumpy on the sofa in the middle room. Even the suitcase has been neatly packed.


"Eh, Cha. You up?" Karel smiled crisply, he scratched his non-itchy look.


Acha returned Karel's smile with her feet, "Are you awake? Usually until the bedug is still crooked?" cynical insinuation.


"It's anu. I'm anu.." Karel raced himself. He misbehaves like a lover who has just been caught cheating.


"Anu-anu what?" acha shouted ferociously making Karel's ears ring. "Bodos. The Papi Dateng helicopter. I'm going home!"


"Well? How come?"


"Like. You go also like-minded," Acha barked.


"It's anu.." Karel could not find the right words to finish his sentence.


"Not any more!"


Karel prevented Acha from dragging her suitcase, "Don't dong?"


"Ngapain nglarang?" Acha still raised the volume of her voice.


"Bodo!" Acha tried to free herself from the hand of Karel who was holding her back.


"Cha, don't go home yet dong!" this time Karel whined.


"Why can't you?"


"We haven't finished filming fifty shades of Karel yet" at a time like this, he's still joking.


"Him alone shooting!" Acha is not out of thought with Karel's brains.


"Where can it be?"


"Why can't it? Go it alone can. Why try to sneak a kayak earlier? Who'd you meet? Rena?" the name slid out by itself from Acha's mouth.


Karel was silent not daring to answer.


"Diem's cigarette? Then you actually met Rena?" Acha getting even worse.


The man stared timidly at Acha's eyeballs, "Jealous huh?"


Acha immediately said to him, "His son said he was jealous. Who is jealous? Me? Hah, it won't! Why are you jealous too!" Acha fanned herself who somehow suddenly felt sultry.


"Well, if you're not jealous, what's angry?"


"Who is angry too! Ah, I want to go home!"


Karel squeezed her hair in frustration. He said not angry, but he's done it like that.


"Oh Cha, don't dong!" Karel followed Acha from behind. He tried to hold the girl's arm but always kept it off. Their feud stopped when Acha opened the front door.


"Grandfather? Grandma?" their eyes rounded to find the two old couples standing at the door.
