Bryan was pacing around in his room, he had already tried Karina's phone but it wasn't picked up. Bryan kept trying.
"Let's get picked up, baby!" Guman Bryan was impatient.
"Is he busy?" And Bryan again.
While Karina who had just come out from inside the restaurant was silent staring at the crowded streets. It was very inversely proportional to his heart at this moment. On his chest raged full of thoughts about Ambar's words while inside the restaurant.
As she stepped on Karina's phone, she immediately saw who had contacted her. Karina's forehead wrinkled as she looked at the new number on her phone screen. An unknown number contacted him making Karina hesitant to pick him up. The phone is silent again. But the call again rang on making Karina's forehead wrinkle again.
"Who?" Guman Karina was hesitant. Until the third call Karina decided not to pick him up and chose to leave the restaurant towards the motorbike parked in the courtyard of the restaurant.
"Dam." Bump Bryan across because he ignored his call.
"Didn't he know I called him?" Bryan's people are starting to give up.
"Young master."
"What?" Bryan was annoyed to look at the bodyguard borrowed from his cellphone earlier.
"Mrs asked me where my phone couldn't be reached." The bodyguard replied indirectly asking for his phone.
"It." Bryan replied emotionlessly giving up his phone was rude from feeling angry.
After pressing the password of the apartment door, Karina went inside still with much thought. Especially now that he had not been able to contact Bryan since morning. It was as if Bryan had disappeared from his sight.
Karina tried to contact again but her phone was answered by the operator was outside the service area alias dead.
"Is he okay?" Karina Guman.
"Hopefully nothing bad happened to her." Karina's prayer felt a bad feeling.

Arowana returned home that afternoon planning to have lunch with her son Bryan. But when he saw the many bodyguards in front of his mansion made him frown in wonder. Indeed, there are usually also some bodyguards that are employed but for today exceed the usual specified. Arowana immediately got out of the car when she parked her car in the garage of the mansion.
"What's this?" Arowana asked as two bodyguards stood guard at the front door, not only there but at the front security post as well, even at every door of the mansion.
"The big lady asked us to add care." Answer one of the bodyguards firmly make Arowana increasingly frowned in wonder.
"For what?"
"We were given the big lady's duty to watch over the second young master so as not to leave the mansion."
"Bryan?"
"True sir."
"Why indeed?"
"We're just running the big lady's errands."
"Where's my wife?"
"It's inside."
Arowana immediately entered looking for the whereabouts of his wife to ask the reason about the bodyguards.
"Dear." The Arowana went inside.
"Yes dear."
"What's this?"
"What do you mean, baby?"
"Why should Bryan be barred from leaving the mansion? She's a grown-up baby." Tell Arowana is inexhaustible with the mind of his wife.
"It's okay. It's for his own good, too." Answer Ambar casually as he walks hand in hand towards the dining room.
"What kindness? Don't say it because of his relationship with Karina!"
"Don't mention the woman's name!" Sela Ambar fast.
"So right?"
"I don't want to have a daughter-in-law whose origins aren't clear." Strictly Ambar while preparing food for her husband.
"What do you mean, baby? They love each other."
"But I don't like."
"Our son loves her."
"He must forget it."
"Huffs... Why don't you try to accept it? Would you put yourself in position if we were him?"
"I don't mean to offend you, baby. Let them have a relationship, we can decide later if he deserves to be by Bryan's side."
"Once in a while not staying. I don't want my son-in-law with a low social status."
"Darling..."
"But you don't have to interfere in this business, I know what's good and what's not for Bryan. I don't want him to be made fun of when we get together with all our big families."
"But our families aren't all like that?"
"But there's something like that and it hurts a lot. I did it while protecting that woman, right?" Ambar's answer remains strong.
"But that's not how he treats Bryan? He's an adult, give him time to think. You locked her in the room like she was a little girl."
"I don't want to be helped."
"Darling..."
"We'd better eat before this food gets cold." Cut Ambar while starting lunch.
"Has Bryan had lunch?"
"Auntie has delivered her lunch to the room, maybe soon down. He's not refusing the food." Along with the words of Ambar aunty maid came down from the second floor with a tray.
The two turned their heads in unison staring at the arrival of the maid's aunt.
"Will he eat bi?" Ask Arowana.
"Yes, big master, young master finished his meal." Aunty maid replied politely. Arowana sighed in relief, Ambar just quietly continued his lunch followed by Arowana.
After finishing lunch, Arowana headed for Bryan's room after his wife had gone to their room. Arowana knocks on Bryan's room door and gets an inside answer to enter.
"Fire." Bryan immediately approached Arowana who turned out to come to his room with a face sumringah.
"Have you had lunch?" Bryan nodded his head.
"Pi, help me persuade mami." Pinta Bryan looked at her papa expectantly.
"Huffs... Let's sit down first." The two sat side by side on the sofa near Bryan's bed in the room.
"Mommy's cooking in the room won't let me out of the house. I'm not a little Pi anymore." Bryan's protest was sad.
"Bryan?"
"Yes Pi."
"How far is your relationship?" Arowana asked looking at Bryan fixedly.
"I've proposed to him pi, I plan to propose to him officially with you after introducing him to you. But, I didn't think that mom's response was like that." Bryan's eye sparkles were initially very bright with a happy smile, but the twinkle of the eye dimmed when he told him about the rejection of his mother.
"Have you guys been intimate?" Bryan's face immediately flushed red to get the sensitive question it immediately shook his head strongly trying to dodge.
"What does papi mean? We haven't gotten that far. Even though we've been kissing but to get in touch that far, I can't do. I love him so much that I don't want to ruin Pi, I want to have him on our first night." Obviously Bryan held the shame because that was the reality. She does not want her parents to misjudge her relationship with Karina.
"Huffs... That's how a man should be. Guarding it doesn't ruin it." Bryan smiled as he heard her papal praise. Even he did not dare to tell me that he had already enjoyed the upper body of Karina.
"The fire blesses us, doesn't it?" Bryan asked expectantly.
"But it doesn't matter that you're in a relationship and married to anyone as long as she's a nice girl who can value relationships even if she's a girl like Karina. It's just..." Arowana paused her speech exhaling a rough breath.
"It looks like you guys have to fight harder to get your mom's blessing." Further Arowana made Bryan exhale rough breath.
"The fire can help me persuade my mom, right?" Arowana looked at Bryan fixedly, although this young man before her was not his biological son, but he loved him like his own biological son. He knew how hard it was to persuade his wife. But for the sake of not seeing the look of disappointment on his face, Arowana finally chose to nod her head.
"The fire will try."
"Thank you Pi, thank you. I love you."
"Bapy too." The two hugged each other like men. Bryan's gloomy face is now gone, changed happy twinkle because it has the support of the papi.
"Can you borrow Pi's phone?"
"For?"
"I want to call Karina, my phone's confiscated by mami." Adu Bryan made Arowana exhale rough.
"Watch as much as you!"
"Thank you Pi." Welcome Bryan smile happily. She was sure, Karina would definitely pick up her call because she knew her papa was Karina's superior in the office.
