Braakk!
The wide open door made Arvan pull away and let go of his kiss. It looks like Raka who walks without feeling guilty towards where her parents are.
" Mamaa...!" yell Raka.
" Dear...! Raka, why are the nights here...?" ask Erina.
Arvan is very upset with the arrival of his son at the wrong time.
" Raka, get in the habit of knocking on the door before entering...!" Arvan said.
" Sorry, pa. Again urgent this.." said Raka.
" Yes, but you must have ethics and manners..."
" Yes, pa..."
Erina pulled Arvan's arm so as not to scold Raka. Do not let there be a commotion at night - this night when others are resting.
" Dear, why haven't you slept...?" ask Erina.
Arvan restores his wife's clothes that he had made a mess before Raka got closer.
" Ma, it looks like we should hurry back to London. There's a problem in Grandpa's company..."
" What problem...?" ask Arvan.
" Uncle William called my mom but couldn't. So it was contacting Raka, he said there was embezzlement of funds in one of the projects." replied Raka.
Erina checked the file William sent to Raka's email. While Arvan, he was still busy looking for a loophole to tease his wife.
" Raka, now that you have all your belongings to bring, tomorrow we will go to London with grandparents and grandparents." said Arvan.
" We're going back to London, pa...?"
" Yes, clean your stuff and go straight to sleep. Papa and Mama are also sleepy to rest..."
" Yes, pa..."
Raka kisses papa and her mother in turn and then comes out of her parents' room.
" Huft... finally go too.." muttered Arvan.
Arvan takes the laptop in Erina's lap and immediately keeps it on the nightstand.
" Sister, I haven't finished checking the files yet." said Erina.
" There's an important job you haven't finished yet." said Arvan with a smile.
" sak_.. hmmmph...!"
Arvan does not want to waste any more time immediately pounced on his wife. With a smile that developed perfectly, Arvan immediately did his action before any bullies came again.

In the morning, everyone is ready to go to the airport. They were driven by Hans and Ricko in two cars.
" Hans, you take care of all the work with Ricko's brother. I'll be back in a week. Send all the files to my email as soon as possible so I can work on the way.." Arvan ordered.
" Well, I'll send it when I get to the airport." said Hans.
" Uncle Hans didn't come home...?" ask Raka.
" No, Raka. You were there Uncle Adam and Uncle Willy." replied Hans.
" Uncle Adam and Uncle Willy don't live one house with Raka..."
" There's already a mom, baby." said Erina.
" Ma, Uncle Adam can stay in our house...?" raka Whine.
" No, Uncle lives in an apartment. He's an adult, so he has to be independent." said Arvan.
Adam was silent because he did not want to have another debate with his master.
" Mister Hans, may I ask you a favor...?" say Adam politely.
" Just tell me, what's up...?"
" What if they tell you to move to Jakarta, let me have an easier time watching it." Hans suggested.
" Yes, Dam. Better your mother stay in Jakarta. Later brother Hans will find a house here." said Erina.
" If only I could, Rin. I even invited them to live with me in London, but my mother refused because she didn't want to be away from me..."
" Let's just say, brother Ricko persuaded your mother to stay in Jakarta." said Arvan.
All agreed with Arvan's advice. Now Hans is focused on the streets because soon they arrive at the airport.
" You take care of yourself here, often - often go home, huh...?" mother's message.
" Yes, mom. We must have gone home a lot." said Ricko.
They all hugged each other before Arvan and the others got into his private jet. Arvan gave little orders to his two brothers in managing the company.
Arvan carried Arvan into the plane while holding his wife. Adam was at the very back of escorting Mr and Mrs Sebastian.
Arriving on the plane, Erina told her father to go straight into his private room to rest with her mother.
" Erin, why did Arvan come home...?" ask mother.
" It's okay, ma'am. Arvan's sister just doesn't want to be far from Raka, they haven't seen each other for a long time" replied Erina slowly.
" Did Arvan know about the father's illness...?" pawky Daddy.
" Why do you think that...?"
" You can't lie to your father, Erin." said the father, staring closely at his daughter-in-law.
" I'm sorry Erin, dad. Erina no longer knows how to persuade brother Arvan to let Erina go..."
Erina did not dare to look at her father and mother. He was too afraid to face his parents' anger.
" It's okay, maybe it's time for Arvan to know his father's situation." said the mother.
" Don't blame Erina, Dad. Arvan should have paid more attention to mom and dad. Arvan should have known earlier about father's illness. Forgive Arvan has not been able to make father and mother happy." said Arvan who arrived - suddenly kneeling in front of his father.
" I know you're pioneering your future career, I want you to focus on your work..."
" Father and mother are the most important for Arvan. Don't ever hide anything from me again..."
Arvan dropped his head on his father's lap. The three of them then hugged each other while crying happily.
Erina who was aware of this condition, walked out of the room without their knowledge. Erina could only imagine that if her father had given her affection like Sebastian's family, maybe her life would have felt more perfect.
Erina stood leaning against the glass of the plane that was now carrying her flying above the clouds. He stared out looking at the spotless pure white clouds. There was a sense of comfort in his heart as the clouds flew before him.
Without Erina noticing her tears falling down both her cheeks. There was envy in her heart when she saw the harmony of her husband's family. He felt unworthy to enter the family considering he never once felt happiness with his own biological family.
" Oh my God, I'm so tired of all this. Pretending to smile at their happiness. Why should I be born into a family that never wanted me. Why does my heart hurt when I see other people's families happy. I want to forget all my dark past and find happiness with my new family.." - Erina.
Erina closed her eyes imagining happiness before her eyes. She hopes to love her children fairly.
Erina rubbed her tears gently with the tissue she picked up at the table not far from her. He doesn't want anyone to know that he's sad right now. Erina does not like to show her sadness in front of others including her husband. Only Adam was always his back when his heart was in turmoil.
Without Erina realizing it, from earlier on there was someone watching her from the beginning she started crying. That person just silently let Erina vent out her heart through a cry so that her soul could be a little calmer.
" Prepare all your heart, let all the burdens in your heart come out." said the man.
Without Erina looking, she also knew who the person she was now hugging tightly. Now Erina sobbed in captivity not wanting her parents to know.
" I'm afraid all this is just a dream for me." Erina said sobbing.
" You deserve this happiness..."
