"What's the matter with you?" Kelvin raises a cynical question to a man who is none other than Sander.
He did not like the attitude of Sander who suddenly cut his words, especially since earlier his cousin did not want to support. A word did not come out of his mouth, as if the problem was not something serious. Crazy one!
Meanwhile, Sander only smiled faintly, while still stepping closer to Kelvin. Previously, he had stood for a long time behind a wall of blockers, listening to Kelvin's loud speech. From there he finds out that Vale is Kelvin's ex-lover, the woman his cousin had wasted. Really, what a surprise. Indonesia-London, it turns out not as wide as he imagined.
"It has nothing to do with me, but he is Uncle's wife. So, I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that" Sander said.
Enough emotion at the time. Last time he had heard his parents tell Kelvin, who he said dumped his girlfriend for being less rich. Sander doesn't accept Vale being treated that way, and doesn't accept it anymore if they get back together. It's still better with Riu than Kelvin, but it's better with him. Yeah .. at least hope first.
Kelvin got up violently, then approached Sander and whispered near his ear, "You don't know what kind of marriage they were in, nor do you know how I was related to him. So, you better not interfere. Just think about how to free our parents, that's more useful."
After saying that, Kelvin walked away. Leaving the dining room with an immeasurable arrogance.
"You're okay, right?" Sander.
"No."
Sander smiled to himself, then sat down in front of Vale.
"I heard your conversation. Somewhat surprised me, it turns out Kelvin's ex is you."
Vale just muttered softly.
"I was also surprised, it turned out .. Your husband is my own uncle," said Sander rather awkwardly.
Vale was silent, only glancing at her glance and then looked back at her phone.
"Vale, may I know your number?" sander said after a long silence.
Vale smiled sweetly, "Can. But ... ask Mas Riu for yourself. He memorized my number."
Vale's answer made Sander flutter, until he could no longer speak. In fact, he remained silent even though Vale started to get up and leave.
Ahh, you're too timid, Sander.

At 11:00 p.m., Vale and Riu had already arrived at his house. However, the two did not go straight to sleep, instead sitting on the balcony of the room, challenging the cold night breeze that was ready to hit.
Actually, it was Riu's wish. While Vale only followed because Riu's expression did not look good. Maybe Jason said something that made him uncomfortable.
"You don't mind if I smoke?" riu said after a few minutes of silence.
Vale shook his head while smiling widely. Then, looking at the more charismatic face of Riu when igniting a cigarette. Especially when the puff of smoke began to come out of his lips, Vale was almost fascinated by it. To the extent that a clear mind is stained by the shadows of a kiss that is quite intoxicating. Damnit damnit!
"Vale!" call Riu.
"Hmm."
"Do you know what I meant this afternoon?"
"Dry!" Riu patted her lap.
Vale surprised. Although inwardly happy to do it, but the shame that dominates. Until the end, he remained glued to the spot without giving any response.
"There's a lot I want to say. Come here!" Riu repeated the command.
"Can't it be this way?" ask Vale while linking his fingers.
"No."
"But___"
"Come here!"
Although her voice remained slow, but Riu's gaze contained something that made Vale unable to resist. As a result, he also repeated the pose this afternoon— sat on Riu's lap.
"What's wrong?" asked Vale nervously.
Riu did not answer directly. First grabbing Vale's waist and hugging him tightly, until the bodies of the two close together. While the other hand he uses to mengamit cigarettes, which still faithfully smoke.
"If I ask you to remain my wife and never ask for a divorce. Can you?"
Vale lowered his head, "Depends."
"Depends what?"
"Depends on your reasons. Why ask for that." Vale's voice is getting slower.
"If I answer love. Is that enough?"
Vale looked up quickly, looking into the eyes of Hazel Riu who was right in front of him. For a moment Vale tried to plunge into those eyes. However, he found nothing, even himself who almost drowned in the chaos lodged there.
"Our marriage can still count days. There's no way you love me" Vale said trembling, carried away by an unruly heartbeat.
"First sight alone can make someone fall in love, let alone a marriage that has been for days. And I ... really love you."
"What is the evidence that you love me?"
"I'm telling you about my biggest secret. What I meant in my speech this afternoon was the same as you think, Vale. And this .. Only you and the Baron know. In fact, Papa doesn't even know that."
Riu's answer made Vale have trouble breathing, so surprised.
Not yet had he asked again, suddenly Riu had raised his body. Take her in a sling and leave the balcony of the room. Vale screamed in shock, then spontaneously poked his hand around Riu's neck.
The man smiled broadly. His own pride for him when he saw Vale curled up in his arms.
"After this matter is resolved, I will bring our relationship to the public. You also do not need to be ashamed anymore to have a paralyzed husband, because if the time comes I will show them my true condition. Vale, be my woman forever!" riu said, before then laying Vale's body on the bed.
Seriate...
