Kinan suddenly misbehaved. Maverick's words and gaze changed slightly. Although he could not understand the details of what he meant, but Kinan felt uncomfortable with it. Like there's another meaning that's not as simple as it seems.
"I'm interested in what you just said. Helping the street children .. I seem to have wasted a lot of time. Close your eyes to a terrible condition, and unfortunately quite a lot happens. I don't think it's too late to start now. And you .. I want you to take the role." Maverick spoke again without turning his gaze, remaining fixed on Kinan.
"I mean Sir?"
Maverick let out a rough breath, "You still want to work here, right?"
Kinan nodded.
"Now your main job is not cleaning or tending to this house, but .. bringing street children and taking care of them here. I want this house to be crowded with their laughter. I want to give them a decent life."
After hearing Maverick's reply, Kinan was even more stunned. Absolutely not suspect if the life path he told could inspire Maverick to adopt the children. Children who are certainly dirty, dull, and mostly blind read and write. Understandably, their days are up for survival. No more opportunities to take care of yourself, what more school.
"Sir, are you serious?" Kinan reassured once again, fearing that Maverick had simply mispronounced.
"Of course." Maverick smiled charmingly. "From tomorrow, do as I said before" he continued.
"Good, Sir." With a little nervous—more precisely still in disbelief, Kinan nodded.
"One more thing, I don't limit how many kids you're going to take with you. If this house is full and not enough to accommodate them, I will make a new place to live" Maverick said.
"Sir, are you seriously doing this? You ... alright?" ask Kinan carefully.
Maverick smiled, very charming, a glimpse of Kinan to the amazement he made.
"Aurora is gone, and I want to find another happiness like you said the other day. And my choice fell on .. children."
Kinan mangut-mangut though still do not understand the way Maverick's mind. Did the divorce reverse her mind? I don't know. Whatever is behind Maverick's wishes this time, the most important thing is that Kinan must obey.

10:00 am Barcelona time.
Elle still faithfully accompanied Reyvan there. However, there has been no progress on their relationship. Reyvan is still flat, not even a little to offend the love that has ever paused. Whether the levels have faded or the time is not right, Elle can not guess much.
The blond woman simply resigned herself, following the timeline into which it would take the two. Stay on a parallel line or there is a meeting point at a time.
Today, Elle's last day was there. Later in the afternoon he will fly to Indonesia, replacing his mother's position to take care of business there. After a few days left to Barcelona, handle the Zee family-owned business previously in Adriano's grasp.
"You're coming home today?" ask Reyvan. It's uncomfortable to be both silent for a long time.
Elle nodded, "Yes."
"After my health is restored, I will also go home."
Elle bit her lip. The information is not something special, because Reyvan's return is not necessarily for his sake. The man's family and business are indeed in Indonesia, then where would he go if he did not go back there?
In a sudden, sad feeling Elle could only go inward, "That's not what I wanted to hear, Rey. I don't know where your old love went. Has the breakup made her fade or even disappear?"
"You will be careful, take care of yourself during the trip, also when you get there later" Reyvan continued.
"Yes." Yeah." Just a short answer that Elle made, his heart was slightly disappointed with Reyvan's flat attitude. Because honestly, he expected more than that.
Shortly after speaking, Elle left. He had to prepare for the long journey he was about to take. Reyvan also did not hold back, there were still a few things that stuck, which made him unable to obey his heart.
After Elle left, Kirana changed into the room. The hijab-wearing woman with a shady face approached Reyvan while gently rubbing her shoulders.
"Mother look-look ... Elle is not just a friend, but .. there is something special about her" Kirana said.
Reyvan smiled wryly, "Yes, Mother. But ... I don't know how the end of that privilege is."
"Is it because he's married, so you doubt it? If they're officially divorced and iddah's term is up, there's no ban on you being in a relationship with him."
"I know, Mother. It's just .. I need to talk first with her ex-husband, then I can determine whether I should go forward or back," replied Reyvan, who then got a fixed gaze from his mother.
"You want to consider a woman from her hymen?"
Reyvan shook his head quickly, "It's not about that, Mother. It's .. it's more complicated than that."
Kirana frowned confusedly, but Reyvan chose to ignore and bowed. It is difficult to explain, there are hardly any proper sentences to describe his feelings at that time.
"Even though Elle had said that my views were poor in judging their marriage, but I couldn't calm down before speaking directly to Maverick. This time it's not about ego anymore, but about happiness without hurting. I'm going forward without any stumbling in the back" Reyvan's mind.
