"Content."
Intan did not understand Ansel's call, he continued to walk quickly away from the bule man.
"Intan, listen to me."
"Whispering." Intan said.
"She heard it for a long time."
"No need."
"Where else do you want to go, in front of the grave." said Ansel.
"Bodo is very."
"Silk."
Intan's step stopped, what Ansel said was true. The tombs are only three meters from where he stands. The creepy atmosphere began to feel, let alone sound like the sound of an owl.
Intan turned around and,
"Tuings."
He ran as fast as lightning left the place.
"Intan wait a minute...!"
"No way."
"Intaaaan."
"No, you traitor."
"I'm not a traitor."
Intan did not budge, even now he ran. Ansel also ran after the girl.
"Rubby."
Ansel hit someone, while Intan was already speeding away.
"Da, daddy?"
Ansel could not believe what he saw, but Ryan was standing right in front of his eyes.
"Where does daddy know, I'm here?"
Ansel was still glancing towards Intan who was slowly moving away.
"When do you avoid it?"
"Until daddy stops setting me up. Daddy latin, I'm half German. In our country in the west there is no matchmaking."
"There are, in every rich family and royal family."
"We are not a royal family" Ansel said in self-defense.
"But we're a rich family, right?"
"Yes but there doesn't have to be any matchmaking either."
"Stupidity is profitable."
"That benefits daddy, not me"
"But this will benefit the girl you were chasing earlier."
"I mean daddy?" Ansel began to capture the negative energy of his father's speech.
"You know what's gonna happen to that girl, if you argue."
"Dad, don't try to approach or hurt Intan. Daddy's gonna face me."
Ansel passed, he went back to chasing after Intan who had disappeared. Ryan is in his place.

"Mom, where's mom?"
Rianti called Arka's mother, she is now in a shopping line. He made a pact with his aunt to meet there. They want to buy materials to make clothes.
There is a family of Arka's mother who will face in the near future, they are told to wear uniform clothes. But the materials are told to buy themselves. A very interesting thing, considering that the material should be prepared by a family who has a wish.
"This is the mother near the store, the front is red-red this is the paint loh." said Ms Arka.
"Into again ma'am, it's still far away mah."
"Yes, what's the right direction for you to take on the left?"
"Right, ma'am."
Arka's mother turned to the right, but at once her steps stopped. The sky was still bright, but his heart had become cold and frozen. When he looked at a burly foreign man who was standing in front of him.
"Deadily?"
"Mom, mother."
"Sih wait...!"
Ryan blocked the woman's arm, Arka's mother's body shaking. Instantly the long-sinking pain seemed to come to the surface again.
"Why are you seeing me again?"
Arka's mother's voice was filled with stifled anger.
"Switch, I know you hate me. I won't force you to forgive me for that. I'm just gonna ask you, where's our son?"
"Our son?" This time Arka's mother approached.
"Our son did you say?. After 23 years you've been asking him, where have you been?"
"Ningsih, I'm really sorry. I know I was wrong, where is he?"
"He's dead, I aborted him 23 years ago."
Ryan was devastated to hear all that, his heart now became so sad. He had never been this sad before.
"I'm..."
"Go from here...!"
"Sih, I."
"You don't know how I suffered after you left. How I got kicked out of my family, walking aimlessly. Without the money I was carrying at the time. Get out of front of me...!"
"Delayed."
"Go...!"
Ryan was silent, he could no longer force the woman. Shortly after, he turned around and stepped away from the place.
"Mother."
There was a voice, Ryan who had gone far enough was also reflex turned his head.
"Arka, what are you doing here?" Arka's mother said to her son in shock.
"Abis buy sample material, ma'am. For office needs, plan to make batik clothes."
Ryan's heart was racing, with no tears streaming from either corner of his eye. He was confident in what his heart was saying, for some time now. That Arka is his flesh and blood.
"Why are you alone?" ask Arka again.
Arka's mother looked back and forth, Ryan had escaped her sight.
"Treaty with Rianti."
Arka's mother took her son away, occasionally turning her head. He really did not find Ryan anymore, it means Ryan did not see the presence of Arka.
Without realizing that Ryan was still there, the man hid somewhere while watching his son.
That afternoon Arka invited the twins to play around the penthouse, he came home quickly because the office officials held an impromptu meeting. He had more playing time with the twins. The twins were entrusted by Amanda to Anita, because Amanda was working. But Anita is home now.
"Where is dedek?" Arka spoke to both babies. They seemed to be moving their legs and hands, as if they were being carried outside.
Arka replied to occasional messages with his wife, and photographed their son several times. To be sent to the woman.
"Hi."
Suddenly Ryan appeared near her.
"Ryan?" Arka still recognized the man.
"Yes, how are you?"
Ryan asked like an old friend.
"I'm fine and you?"
"I am good." said Arka and smiled.
"And you guys?. Hello."
Ryan said to his two grandchildren, both grandchildren looked so excited. Tears spread in Ryan's eyes, but he tried hard to hold it. He did not know that he had a grandchild too. Arka got married even at a younger age than her. He had Ansel at the age of 27.
"So, what are you doing here?" ask Arka.
"I work here, I have a company that has been established for a long time in the country where I live now. And just had a branch in the country the last few years."
"Oh, huh?"
"Yes." Yeah."
The two then had a long conversation. Arka asked about Ryan's company further and Ryan also asked his son a lot about his life. But Ryan himself did not dare say if he was the father of Arka.
He did not know what doctrine Arka's mother had instilled in their child's mind all this time. Ryan is afraid that Arka will hate her and then stay away from her. So that Ryan may not be able to anymore, to be near his children and grandchildren.
He's not ready to say all that at the moment. He is not ready to be rejected, not ready to be hated by his own flesh and blood.
