"Why are you sad???" Aditya asks Kyra and his wife Cahya. "This is one of Ky's dreams, let him pursue what he has always wanted to achieve, the best prayer is the prayer of all of us, he's been working hard all this time so let it go, let it go, if he doesn't come home, we can visit him again, lest our grief make him fail to get this good opportunity...!" Aditya again.
Cahya tried to smile at Aditya. "My prayers are always for my children, I'm just sad that he's not coming home, but of course I'm happy with the news that Ky will tell me if he's going to take part in the astronaut selection!" Cahya Mumbles.
"Don't let our grief stop him from achieving his goals, we should always get used to being away from him but of course our prayers will lead him to get what he wants, he's trying to boast of us all here..! Always support him...!" Aditya hugs Cahya and Kyra.
"We're all sad because she didn't come home, and Mama is also sure Ky was there sad because he couldn't go home, but what was happier was able to ease his sadness, he had been trying hard for a long time and now his efforts were only a few steps away... We should pray for it..!" Mrs Harry chimed in, hoping that the child, the waiting and the grandchild would take away their grief about Kyros' plan to return home.
Meanwhile, Kyros placed his phone on the table, leaning his back on the chair, staring straight ahead. She could see Kyra and Amamnya's disappointment, they must be sad because she didn't come home. Kyros is also actually sad because he is missing home but he got a very good opportunity and was very wanted by him all along.
Besides being sad to not be able to go home and meet his family, Kyros is also sad, his intention to go home to see Gienka and express his feelings will also be delayed. Though he is also preparing to express all the feelings that are in his pendam at this time to Gienka. For her at this time it is very appropriate to reveal everything, mentally and also her condition is comfortable. Kyros is no longer busy with studying and college, but has worked and his career is also good enough to make Gienka can be a idol of his heart and also if it feels suitable, he said, of course Kyros wanted to marry Gienka as he had promised when he was a child. It's just that it seems that the time is now not on Kyros side, because he is now busy in preparation for the selection to become an astronaut.
"Oh God's.. Please take care of Gienka's heart only for me until later I can go home and meet her and then express all my feelings and love that I have kept in my heart all this time, I just want him to be with me and be my partner, please God take care of Gienka just for me..!" Kyros murmured in the heart.
What Kyros wants now is to hope that Gienka stays as she was yesterday, not to have a lover. Also Kyros hopes he can pass the selection, so that his ideals since childhood can be realized. All this time he has been struggling to achieve all that, with a very hard and patient struggle. Kyros has refrained from many things, because he wants to focus on his dreams. Then in the end the opportunity came too, and he had to put it to good use, and refrained from anything else, to focus on this one thing. On campus Kyros life there is no such thing as playing around in doing something, all must be done wholeheartedly and focused.

After driving Celia home, Axel also chose to go home, but he read a message from Gienka, that Gienka is now at Ariel's house. Axel also chose to stop by Papa Gienka's house and meet with his best friend. At this time Axel needs to get advice from Gienka about the proposal from Celia earlier. At least Gienka's opinion could make her to consider Celia's proposal. Axel drives his car to Ariel's residence, where Gienka is currently there.
Gienka's house was not far from his home, it only took a few minutes until Axel stopped his car in front of a high-fenced gray house. Axel also pressed the horn, before long the security guard in the house opened the gate. Axel's car was allowed in.
Axel got out of the car and a little ran towards the door of Gienka's house. She pressed the bell and before long Gienka's housekeeper opened the door from the inside. "Eh mas Axel's... Please comein...!"
Axel smile. "Gienka is there a Ma'am???"
"Some, Mom and Dad just got home, and now we're in the dining room for dinner..!"
"Owh...!" Axel went into the house.
"Hi Xel's..." Gienka emerged from the dining room on the right. Gienka half ran towards Axel. "You must not have eaten, we ate first, Mamay and Papa Iel also just came home..!" Gienka.
"No Gie.. I'll just wait here..!" Axel tries to resist because it's not good with Gienka's parents.
Gienka grabbed Axel and dragged him into the dining room. "Come on... Don't be shy, you also definitely haven't met Mamay and Papa Iel, Geffie too, come on..!"
Axel can't resist and follows Gienka into the dining room.
"Hi Xel's.... Let's sit down and have dinner together... " Masa's words allowed Axel to join his Family.
"Night Om, Aunt, Geff...! " Taxel said then politely he greeted Masa and Ariel. After that Axel sat down and nimbly Gienka flipped the plate that was face down on the table. Take the rice Axel and ask what side dish. Axel asks Gienka to sit down again, and she will take her own food.
"You're from Xel's house???" Ask Ariel.
Axel shakes. "From Bandung om, just stop by here..!"
Ariel frowning. "From Bandung???" Ask her again.
"Yes Pa, she just drove Celia to see her Papa..!" Gienka Sahut.
"Oh... Means you're meeting the future-in-law dong... Wow great also you Xel...! "
"Biasalah Pa, Axel will have to start mepet from now hahahaha...!"
"Ah no deh Pa, Axel is too bucin, ribet if the men are very bucin, innate want to always block Celia, hahahahaha...!" Gienka laughs at Axel.
"Consider from lu Gie..!" Axel protest then chuckled.
Maysa, Ariel and Gieffie also laughed. It's common for Axel to meet Gienka then the two of them will throw jokes at each other that melt the atmosphere. Axel was considered to be his own family by Gienka's parents. Since childhood Axel often played in this house with Gienka. Even Ariel had thought the closeness of Axel and Gienka is not just a friend or friend, but they have a special relationship that is more than that, but in fact they are only friends. Gienka also often tells about Axel to Ariel, Maysa, Elea or Danist, telling them that Axel is only a friend and Axel already has a lover. From Gienka's story, Ariel knows that indeed the relationship of Gienka and Axel is just a friendship even like his own brother.
They continued to eat dinner and chatted about various things. Ariel asked a lot about Axel's current activities. Feeling happy because Axel can enter the football club abroad. Although Axel said it was just an ordinary small club, but for Ariel it was a good start to the career for Axel. Because in the future Axel can dig even further his potential. Ariel also felt proud that Axel could finish his studies well despite also busy pursuing his interest in the world of football.

After dinner with the Gienka family, Axel chose to sit on the front balcony of the house with Gienka, because it was already night. Usually he and Gienka prefer to chat in the garden behind the house, just that Gienka does not want to be the target of mosquito suction, so he invites Axel to chat on the front balcony.
"How was the meeting with Papa Celia???" Gienka asked Axel.
"Good... He is a fun guy...!" Answer Axel.
Gienka threw her smile. "That's visible from your broken face... Hehehe...!"
Axel chuckles. "He likes me.." Axel said slowly.
"Cieeeee.... Have you got the blessing dong...!??"
Axel shook his head sadly. "Although she got it from her Papa, Celia lives with her Mama, and I need her blessing.."
Gienka. "Aissshh.... It doesn't matter Xel, the most important of her birth father, the guardian of a woman not her mother but her father, so just ignore Mama Celia..." Gienka said with annoyance.
"That's true, but all this time Celia will be living with her Mama, I also must not forget that Gie..! I have to get her second blessing..!"
"That's true, but so far they don't have a good attitude towards you, I'm just upset, you've fought a lot for Celia but have not been appreciated in the least..!"
"Gie...!???" Axel called Gienka's name slowly. "I'm so confused... "
"You confused??? Don't think too much about it, just focus on yourself...!"
"Not Gie... Actually I was confused because Celia proposed something that she thought was good but I hesitated to do it...!"
"Presume something??? Propose what??? " Tanya Gienka's.
Axel also explained to Gienka about his chat with Celia earlier on the way home. Celia proposes that Axel come to her house along with her parents. The arrival was intended to ask permission to Mama Celia, if Axel wanted to establish a serious relationship.
Hearing that, of course, makes Gienka surprised because according to Gienka it does not need to be done. Because the parent's meeting is usually done when there is serious talk and leads to further relationships such as toward engagement or marriage. If Axel only wants to invite Celia to have a serious relationship but has not shown the intention to get married or engaged, Axel would not have to involve his parents. Somehow Gienka felt that the idea of taking Axel's parents to see Mama Celia for now was not right. "There are many things you can do Xel to get Mama Celia's heart first, if she finally wants to accept you it is certain that your relationship with Celia will be better, only after the two of you feel confident to step into a more serious level, then Axel can invite your parents to meet the Celia family...!" Gienka
"I also think like it's actually Gie, but???? Celia asked me to do that...!"
"You'd better reject Xel, I swear I don't feel good, too hasty if you take your parents to see Celia's family now...!"
"What if Celia gets angry when I reject her request???" Ask Axel.
"Yes you have to give Celia a good explanation and reason, I am talking like this not because I want to hinder your relationship with Celia, but I'm afraid the Celia family rejects you and your family or even ignores you, would pity Alex and Aunt Erina if they will get the treatment of the Celia family...! You must also be embarrassed and angry if you see your parents treated badly given how cold and haughty the Celia family is...! You should be able to explain well why you rejected Celia's proposal.."
