Fortunately, no other vehicle passed behind Axel's car. Until nothing happens. The road conditions are also somewhat lax. Axel finally apologizes to Gita for making him shocked.
Now they both have reached the apartment. Gita went straight into her room to take a shower, and so did Axel. A few minutes later, Axel had already left the room first and coincided with the food order coming.
“Let me be ready, Brother!” said Gita who is now in the kitchen.
Gita prepares her dinner and also makes two glasses of warm tea for herself and Axel. After that, they both enjoyed dinner.
The atmosphere of dinner this time was so quiet and different from usual. From the moment he came out of Gita's room, he seemed silent. And now he eats while bowing his head. Axel is astonished by the change of the Gita. Has he made a mistake. Or there's something Gita wants to say but can't say.
“Is the food bad?” axel asked breaking the silence.
“Nno, Brother. Tastes good.” Gita answered and then returned to bribe her food.
After a while, the two of them finished their dinner. Axel did not immediately move from his seat, he was still waiting for Gita who was still busy washing her dishes.
“Gita, sit down for a minute!" Axel's orders in a slow voice.
“Why did you keep silent?” continued.
Gita was still silent, but her hands continued to pinch the edge of her skirt. I don't know why he got nervous like this.
“Kak. Sorry!” one word that came out of Gita's mouth made Axel even more confused.
“Sorry for what?” ask Axel.
“Until now I have not been able to be a good wife. I'm sorry I was too deep to hurt my brother's feelings. I do not deserve to be loved.-“ Gita sobbed unable to continue his words.
“Sst…. Don't say it like that. I don't care, the most important thing is that you are always next to me, because I love you so much.” Answer Axel.
“Why Brother? Why does Axel love me? Brother Axel knows for himself that some time ago my attitude was completely out of control…
Gita suddenly told me everything she had been through, including her attitude that she felt was out of control. Sometimes angry, and very sensitive. He also lost his confidence and refused to meet someone. Especially after the incident where when he handed over his crown to Axel.
“Already, don't think about it again. I accept all your shortcomings and advantages. And I will try to restore your confidence again. Don't worry.” Axel.
“Sister Axel is too patient to face my attitude like this. May I ask you something, Brother?” gita pinta.
“Say! Whatever I'm gonna do.” Answer Axel.
“Will Brother Axel wait for me until I can really repay brother?” gita pinta.
“Heii don't ask for such a thing. Until I will be patient. Even though you will not be able to repay my love, as long as you are always beside me. I promise to accompany you in joy and sorrow. And I will do my best for you.” Axel said seriously while holding Gita's hand.
“Thank you, Brother.”

The next morning Axel and Gita were ready to leave for the office, as Gita said, today she will be joining her Papa to review the project outside the city.
“Kak, later go home do not need to be picked up. Fear of returning home at night. let Papa deliver.” Gita said when she was in the car.
“Good. Let me know later if there's anything.” Axel advised, and Gita simply nodded.

The three of them were already in the car. Dimas sat alone in the front, because he was the one driving. Gita sat in the back with her father. The journey they took took less than two hours.
The journey is almost an hour. Suddenly Iqbal's phone rang and there was a call from his secretary. Iqbal seemed to be speaking seriously. Even the look on his face was suddenly grim as if there was no good news.
“Dimas, please pull over briefly.” Pinta Iqbal's.
“What's up, Pa?” ask Gita wonder.
“In the office there is a problem. Finance department employees requested an impromptu meeting because of suspected misappropriation of funds. Reta asked Papa to come directly.You and Dimas just continue the trip, let Papa take a taxi.” Iqbal.
Gita and Dimas were also anxious. Yesterday, it looked fine. And why suddenly there was such news. Finally, Gita agrees to her Papa's idea. He will continue his journey with Dimas.
“Yes have you guys been careful, yes. If there's anything, tell Papa, Gita.” Iqbal.
Dimas nodded. And so is Gita. Then the two of them continued their journey after Iqbal had entered the taxi.

Meanwhile, Axel also seems busy in his office. Today he is also in a meeting with one of his Papa clients, which was held at one of the restaurants. Axel's attitude of authority is very convincing all clients who want to work with Felix's company. As at this time, the client easily agreed and signed a cooperation contract.
“I did not expect with your ability Mr. Axel. At a very young age, it has been able to make your clients very confident to establish cooperation. In fact I also often hear that you often win big tenders.” Said Mr. Gerald.
“Thank you, Sir. I only run what suits my ability.” Answer Axel.
“Absolutely. Honestly, only this time I get a business partner who is pure and really works sessuai portions and equally mutually beneficial.” Said Mr. Gerald.
“That is, Mister?” ask Axel.
“You know for yourself, my company has just bounced back after a long time bankrupt due to the actions of my business colleagues who cheat. At first I was really tempted by the cooperation contract they promised. Though the company is above my company, and offers cooperation with my company. At that time, I was really bored. Turns out it was all his cunning wits to make my company even more trampled and eventually broke.” Mr. Gerald suddenly ventured at length.
“Why don't you sue him or take the legal path to solve that problem?” axel asked, but Mr. Gerald shook his head.
“It's not that easy. They are so clever and cunning that I cannot take the path of the law. So can only accept the state.” Sorry Mr. Geral.
“If you may know, what company is Tuan?” ask Axel.
“The company is engaged in multi-national field. And led by Mr. Andreas. Has your company worked with him?” ask Mr. Gerald.
“No.” Answer Axel slowly. But his memory suddenly goes to his in-laws' company. It seems Axel is no stranger to that name. And once the Gita called it. To make sure, Axel also contacted Gita. But how surprised when he saw his phone there was a message from Gita who was asking for help.
