The sound of music playing shahdu, echoing accompanying a joint meal held by PT. Suryafood at Homeless Child cafe. Since Juno's departure from the cafe, their smile has never escaped Aruna's lips. The shadow of his love's revelation really embarrassed him. Aruna blushed, even the red hue on her cheeks was still splattering unwilling to fade. This was not to be missed by Indira's attention.
"Bu Aruna, put on her blush-on cat. It's so red!" chirp Indira while observing Aruna's face.
"I don't use that. Don't you fucking say it!"
Indira looked up at Aruna's face, then looked at Dena who was sitting next to her. "Mom Dena, take a look, man! Miss Aruna's face is red, right?" he asked the woman who was busy eating the cake.
"Hmm ... kayak boiled shrimp," said Dena with food still gathered in her mouth.
"Times, anyway?" Aruna immediately turned her face in any direction. Cupping both cheeks that get hot thanks to the honesty of the two coworkers. "I can go home first, can't I?" tanya Aruna wanted to run away from there immediately. Falling in love really makes him like a confused person who goes awry when doing something.
"But the show's not over yet, ma'am. Not good with Mr. Surya" Indira.
"Yes, uh. Why go home? Mending here eat good, free anyway." Dena also chimed in on the words of Indira.
"Don't Miss Aruna have a fever?" Indira touched Aruna's forehead possessively, "not even hot," he said in astonishment. Aruna brushed off Indira's hand slowly, then dodged.
"I'm fine, Indira," Aruna said. He was forced to remain silent at the event until the show was over. Letting a red hue always overshadowed her face, because her mind was always on her lover's face.

After taking about 7 hours 29 minutes, Juno reached Tokyo–Japan Airport. Juno was picked up by his father Abizar–Jiro Hideyoshi. The conglomerate man deliberately picked up his son whom he had longed for, because to return to Japan, Abizar was very rare. Jonathan, Juno, and Abizar take turns hugging Jiro treating the longing between them.
"Papa Tumben can pick it up? Isn't every day busy?" asked Abizar who managed to get a light blow on his head from the papa.
"Bas based on a rancid boy! This is all because you rarely go home. So papa was forced by your mom to pick you up. Let's not stop by somewhere else, like already. Now you can not go back to Indonesia again, before you learn business well. After that replace papa continue our family business as well," said Jiro nagging at his son.
"So, don't want to, Pa. Abi came here just want to learn, all help Bang Juno develop the business of Oma Yura. After everything was under control, Abi returned to Indonesia again. If Papa's business is hand over to Aludra. He can too." Abizar resolutely refused the papa's request. Aludra is Abizar's younger brother who is only a year older than him.
Jiro grunted annoyedly. He had not yet learned the words of his son. Jonathan's invitation to leave the airport immediately made him stop and swallow his words back. As for Juno, he could only smile at being a spectator. However, the interruptions from her papa made her a little relieved, because she wanted to get to her grandmother's Ayura– house soon.
Juno wants to immediately contact the woman who has not been her lover for a day. His heart felt empty and half of his heart was like it was left across the ocean there. If only Aruna could be carried like an object, maybe now the woman would always stick to Juno's side no matter where she was. Or if he is not ashamed, he could have made out with Aruna by phone in front of his family in the car that is now taking him to Ayura's house.
During the trip Juno did not talk much. The man was seen smiling more often without the knowledge of his family. He was impatient to get to Ayura's house, then contacted Aruna secretly in her private room there.
Room that he had long left since living with his grandmother when studying in the Sakura Country. Now, since the grandmother has been sickly because of her old age, Juno is obliged to run a business built with her late grandfather– Doctor Ichida for a while, by bringing Abizar who just graduated from university to practice the knowledge he got, all acquainted with the business world after his papa's orders.
There is still a little aunt Juno who is supposed to run the business, but because of the work Jonathan's younger sister is a famous artist, and often travels around the world. He has not been able to leave his popularity behind and run the family business.

Aruna blinked her eyes, the sound was very disturbing to her sense of hearing. His hand reached for the phone that was on the nightstand beside the bed, while his eyes were still reluctant to open perfectly.
"Hello, who, uh?" greet Aruna with a distinctive sound of waking up in her sleep.
"Hello, Honey." The baritone sound from behind the phone kept Aruna awake. He was very familiar with the voice of the man who often called him.
"Youtdoor?" Both eyes opened perfectly, then sat down and leaned on the head of the bed. "Have you arrived?" asked Aruna softly.
"Udah, Honey. I just got to the oma's house" Juno replied across the street.
"How's your family doing there? Are they healthy?" ask Aruna. His face was also immediately radiant.
"They're good, just a less healthy oma. But all this time he was well taken care of by Aunt Angelina, because their family now also lives in the house oma." Juno explained about his family there.
"Oh, so," said Aruna. A moment of silence, Aruna was confused to ask let alone. The awkwardness between begins to dominate. Usually Aruna never asked this man much.
"Darling, I miss." Juno's voice brushed off the silence between them.
Aruna choked, no doubt his face reddened like a tomato. "Pinter is lying. We just met last night, right? Time is gone," Aruna said while biting her lower lip. Resisting the embarrassment that made her lips tremble while speaking. I want to hide in a dark hole.
"Lying time? I really miss being with you. Don't you miss me?" juno said, then asked Aruna.
"Ehm .. I want to wake up Princess first, yes. It's five o'clock" Aruna said, switching their conversation.
"Oh, it's hard to say kangen doang. Even though last night still dared to say 'I love you'," Juno teased Aruna, making the woman even more blushing.
"Udah, really. If you keep flirting with me, I hang up, no."
"Eh, no! in a minute, deh. I still want to hear your voice" Juno pleaded.
"Are you not tired? Just call me directly. If it's 05:00 here, it's 07:00, right?" asked Aruna to relate the time difference in their place.
"Yes, but my fatigue was gone when I heard your voice. Especially if you are here. I won't feel tired at all. Aruna .. um ...." Juno paused his sentence, and there was the sound of breathing after.
"What?" Aruna was curious about the continuation of Juno's words that sounded hanging.
"If after returning home from Japan I propose to you, will you be willing to be my wife?"
