Sitting in the living room holding a tablet with a screen that is constantly monitored. The glasses are repeatedly allowed to be right in place. The middle-aged woman's forehead was completely furrowed with furrowed eyebrows.
“This is the tea, Bu.” Carnations approached while offering a glass of warm drink to the in-laws.
“Thank you,” answered the woman without looking at the glass given to her. His eyes were still focused on continuing to stare at his screen.
“How, Mom? Still not?” ask Anyelir while sitting next to Lastri.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, then shifted her hand to show the tablet screen to the son-in-law. “You see, it hasn't started yet.”
Carnation kept a tray on the table, and then he followed everything displayed there. The podium is still empty, and neither Andin nor Dylan's face is there. “Are they not present yet?” tanyakanya.
“His reporter said Dylan has arrived, he's in the waiting room. But maybe Andin who hasn't.”
“Bapak hasn't come home yet, Bu?” tanya Anyelir shifted the topic so that they are not saturated waiting for a press conference that never started.
“Yes, he said there was an impromptu affair that made him have to stay there longer. He's forcing mom to catch up with him tomorrow. It sucks,” grumpy chick with a midget in her hair.
Carnations chuckled every time she heard her mother-in-law talking about her husband.
Would she also be able to have that kind of closeness with Dylan?
“Anye, try to Bi Ai ask for snacks or something. This is not just tea that nemenin.”
Carnations also moved from their place and sought the request of the mother-in-law. “Good, Bu.”

“We as an agency of Andin Sasmitha, opened a press conference. Hope you listen to the narration from our artists so that there are no more sloping news spread out there,”, said Talita who led the press conference.
The woman who was standing on the podium then nodded at one of the guards, and soon two people who were being talked about appeared accompanied by the other guards.
The whole camera changed direction, they moved to follow Andin and Dylan who were walking from the main door to the podium provided.
“Please everyone calm down and give them time to talk.” Talita tried to mediate the riots because of the arrival of the two people.
Dylan and Andin sat next to each other on the podium. They did not show affection, but the faces of the two were still always smiling at the camera.
Talita nodded at Andin to code for the artist to start talking immediately, because by then the room was quiet and conducive to starting the event.
“Well, my ex-husband and I will explain in turn. So, I hope you all are wise in taking, quoting or covering this whole event. I do not like and will give a lawsuit to anyone who cuts my words and makes them mean something other than what I said.” Strictly Andin mentioned in advance sanctions if there are reporters who reverse the facts.
“Well, we will open a question and answer session after clarification from Mr. Dylan Bagaskara. Please,” said the manager from Andin.
Dylan shifted his seat to be more advanced and close to the microphone. The man also opened his mouth. “My whereabouts are here to clarify the issue of infidelity which then drags my son's name. This in addition to later will give a bad image for him, also has a bad impact on the family and all businesses that we run,” said Dylan.
The man continued his explanation. “Rio is not the son of my first wife. As for the facts we have covered over the past four years, we apologize profusely. Then as said before, there is no infidelity in our marriage.”
“I married her mother Rio legally by religion and by the consent of the first wife. Then, a few months after giving birth to our child, my mother Rio and I officially separated. We decided to announce that Rio is the son of Andin, because at that moment we thought .. It's better that Rio knows like that, than that he should see Andin as a stepmother. At that time .. we didn't think it would happen like this. Again, we apologize for the fact we have been covering up. We do not intend to lie to the public at all.” Dylan kept his mouth away from the microphone as his explanation was over.
“Good, we will only open three pieces of questions and each question we will filter first. Any question that makes it uncomfortable or leads the public opinion to contradict the facts just described, we will reject it firmly. Please!”
The reporters excitedly held hands and Talita picked the one that was the fastest. “Iya, please.”
“If it has been clarified that Mr. Dylan did not cheat, then what about Andin and Wira?” ask one of the reporters.
Talita and Andin looked up, the woman nodded in code if this question is permissible for her to answer because it does not corner anyone.
“I got in touch with Wira after I filed for divorce with Dylan. Previously, I had no relationship with either the Wira or other men,” replied Andin briefly.
“Then how did you guys get that close in such a short time? That means you have been in a relationship when you were still not officially divorced?” The reporter asked another question, but Talita cut it off.
“Next question!” the woman said, pointing at the woman standing in front holding a journal book and pen.
“Andin, why do you want to take it for granted when Dylan does polygamy?” ask the female reporter.
Talita looked at Andin, but Dylan turned directly to the microphone and replied before anyone else got ahead. “It was our decision because of some conditions that we cannot explain here. Next question!”
Andin glanced cynically at Dylan and then smiled obliquely. Perhaps in her heart she could not accept it because the man was hiding the reason. In fact, the only reason at that time was because of a sense of forced from the encouragement and demands of the husband's family.
Then Talita opened another last question. “Please ask the last question."
He also chose someone who raised his hand first. “Iya, please.”
“Do you have any wedding plans with your new partner in the near future?” ask the reporter.
And this time he answered first. “I have not thought that way, I and Wira want to enjoy a relationship like this first. But whether with my ex-husband with his new partner, whether he has remarried the mother of Rio or not?” Andin's question managed to lure Dylan again. The woman deliberately pushed Dylan, so that the man could be cornered. Andin was one of the people who already knew the feelings of others, he now only wanted to provoke Dylan by saying that.
Dylan knowing what was on Andin's mind, he had even just seen a suspicious slanted smile from his ex-wife's face. It made Dylan even more aware, if he was forced by Andin.
“I ...? I will also think first about our wedding plans. Either in the near future or maybe until this problem subsides at least.”
