"Welcome, Sir."
The ministry was bowing when Bara arrived at the mansion after a week he did not come home.
Friz and Elena, who were relaxing after playing tennis, heard the news of Bara's arrival from one of the servants. They also waited for the son of Lazuardi's successor in the park near the swimming pool bordering the private tennis court. While waiting for Bara who was walking from the living room to the back garden, Friz asked the service to prepare lunch so that he could hold Bara longer.
"He came" Elena whispered as Bara appeared and stepped wide into the garden where Friz and Elena were relaxing.
Friz did not say, he just looked at Bara's face which was very similar to his even though it was just the look of his eyes and lips. The rest, Bara inherits the face of Sabrina, his late wife.
"It's good to see you coming, son! Tumben once you're willing to leave your office at rush hour like this?" friz asked as Bara got very close and then stood straight in front of his parents.
Bara rubbed her suddenly itchy nostrils when she saw Elena who smiled very sweetly at her.
"I'll get married later this afternoon."
Friz and Elena's face suddenly stiffened, both of them smiling and looking at each other for a few seconds.
"Dad didn't hear wrong. I will marry Kyra later that afternoon religiously because she is pregnant with my son. The only successor to Lazuardi." Bara looked at Friz and Elena alternately. "Please bless our relationship." Unexpectedly, Bara threw his body to the floor and kowtowed.
There is no other choice, Bara must give up to get blessing. He does not want to end up like Daniel, but he also does not want to lose Kyra and her son. Bara is at the intersection of a dilemma that he cannot choose easily. There are many risks that he could not face if he lost one of them.
Seeing his son willingly prostrate to get his blessing, Friz who had begun to be provoked by emotions, suddenly speechless. Elena was also shocked to see the haughty nature of the son she had cared for since the toddler had suddenly changed drastically just for the sake of women. Bara was never like this during her romance with Valeria.
"I beg you, at least give us a chance to account for our actions. The boy is innocent, Dad. It was me and Kyra who were sinful and worthy of punishment" Bara said with a wounded heart, recalling Kyra's attempt at abortion so that Bara would not lose her job and her parents, makes Bara's heart very sick.
"Why are you so adamant about marrying that woman? What's so special about him that you're willing to prostrate like this and ignore your ego?" ask Friz curiously.
Bara's head bowed, slowly lifted up and looked at Friz wistfully.
"Because Kyra is a good girl, she is very sincere and can turn me into a better Bara. He was always willing to ignore himself for the sake of others." A single tear melted from the corner of her eye but Bara rubbed it quickly.
Once again, Elena was stunned to witness Bara's change in attitude. He was running out of words to mediate, all he could do was hold Friz's hand in order to rethink his absolute and arbitrary decision.
"We've lost Daniel, Honey. I don't think I'd be able to survive if we lost Bara, either" Elena said.
Friz watched Bara and Elena at a glance, he then stood up and approached Bara who was still prostrating before him.
"All right, marry him. Since you are married only to the baby, then after the baby is born you must separate." After pronouncing the verdict, Friz passed from the park to return to his room.
For a while, Bara fell silent and tried to digest his Daddy words. Does that mean he's approved?
"Stay running the company, no one can handle it as great as you, Boy! At least Daddy gave you permission to get married, don't ask for more and make him cancel all his decisions." Elena got up and patted Bara gently on the shoulder, then followed Friz who had entered the mansion.

Bara exhaled after saying the word ijab qobul in one stroke.
Penghulu turned to Morgan, Daniel and Ms. Meta who were witnesses of the marriage.
"How is witness ... legitimate?"
"Well!"
"Well!"
Morgan and Daniel both said. Seeing Bara's deathly pale face made the two unable to hide a smile.
"Alhamdulillah."
Everyone in the living room gave thanks while raising their hands. Roni embraced Bara tightly after the ruler declared their marriage valid in the eyes of religion. He patted the shoulder of the daughter-in-law who will now look after her daughter with full strength for a while.
"My daughter is the jewel of my heart and the heart of my breath, Bara." Roni unraveled her hug and looked at her new daughter-in-law sharply."The first one to fall in love with her was me, the first one to kiss and hug her was me" she said with teary eyes.
All who were there were suddenly silent and listened to Roni's words.
"From this second on, all my duties to look after Kyra are complete. I hope you will be the husband who will accompany her for the rest of her life, accompanying Kyra in her joys and sorrows. Do not hurt his heart and body even a little because I will not be sincere. If one day you don't love my daughter anymore, don't tell her, tell me first, I'll take her home willingly because I don't want to see my daughter hurt."
"Dad." Kyra's cry broke, she got up from beside Meta and hugged Roni tightly. "I am still Dad's daughter even though I have become Bara's wife. I'm still Daddy's little daughter who's always comfortable being hugged like this."
Bara notices Kyra and Roni are very sincere love each other and crying each other full of haru. This day Bara mellow feeling is not playing, his mood is like a rollercoaster that rises and falls drastically. The corner of his eyes had been wet since Roni had asked him to look after Kyra earlier, and seeing them hugging so tightly made Bara miss the same thing from her parents.
Daniel patted his sister's shoulder warmly. At least he's been in a position like this and he wants Bara to have someone who can strengthen him. Not like her own self at the time.
"Thank you for coming, Niel." She hugged her brother tightly.
"Either. Happy new life, Bara. I'm happy with your marriage" whispered Daniel softly in his sister's ear.
For the first time in years, Daniel and Bara reunite at a very simple wedding for a conglomerate like them.
"Sir, congratulations, yes. Hope you can be a standby husband!" morgan said moved. He knew very well how Bara and Daniel used to be, so when he saw them hugging each other like now, inevitably his little heart trembled.
Bara broke her embrace from Daniel and rubbed the corner of her wet eyes. He then stretched out his hand to Morgan who he already considered his own sister.
"Thank you, Morgan. To help me be a standby husband, please after this never turn off your phone, no matter where you are!"
