In the car Lara noticed her husband while driving, according to Lara her husband looks a bit different than usual. Worried, he asked, "Vander are you okay?"
"... I'm, yeah I'm fine."
She held her husband's hand and said, "Please don't bear your burden alone, share it with me if something bothers you."
Vander then smiled and rubbed his wife's coconut, as if confirming that he was okay and not to worry.
"Where are we going now?" Ask Vander.
"Find a warm meal, I happen to want to eat a savory and sweet fruit," said the woman.
"Then how about we eat ramen?"
Lara immediately nodded in agreement.

Upon arrival at the ramen shop they both immediately ordered their favorite ramen.
"Please enjoy Mr and Madam," said the ramen seller serves ramen for him.
Lara who has wanted to eat since then also directly screwed her favorite ramen noodles.
"Hmmm... It's so delicious!" Reveal it full of enjoyment.
Unlike the wife, Vander who was sitting next to him suddenly asked his wife for permission to pick up the phone.
"Don't be a long time, baby," concluded Lara who still felt that her husband was a bit strange.
While Lara was busy eating, Vander immediately looked for a quiet place and raised the call from Eva.
Van: You and those rotten people are gonna threaten me what else!?
Eva: Eits, how fierce? Besides why you're angry, I've told you before that you won't be easy dealing with Crux. Therefore, I suggest you better follow Mr. Gauren's request to return, than things will be even more chaotic.
Van: Damn you!
Eva: (A tingly laugh) Never mind, you better just follow the game. Everything that will happen will depend on yourself, so think carefully, or maybe you want your wife—
Vander: Shut up! Never once try to involve my wife in your rotten plans!
Eva : Cih! Honestly, I'm sick of hearing you're so possessive of that woman. Never mind I just want you to know, after today's bomb there will still be another surprise, so just wait. Yea!
(Sending calls)
"Eva?! Argh shit!" Vander held onto his temple while calming his mind which was currently eager to explode.
Finally Van returned and approached Lara who had finished spending a bowl of ramen.
"Thanks to the long phone call, who's been calling?" Lara curious.
"Nobody, just Aron."
Lara nodded in confidence, though she was doubtful of her husband's answer.
"Oh, where's your ramen?" Vander asked, unaware that his wife had finished a bowl and was ordering a second bowl.
"Vander looks like you have to eat a lot, today you're a bit less focused!"
"Is that so? Maybe the effect of the incident that happened to you I'm a little messed up."
"Then anyway? But why do I feel like there's something you're hiding from me?"
Van laughed a little and looked at his wife and rubbed her head gently. "No need to be prejudiced, the important thing is that you're okay, because I won't be able to forgive myself if something bad happens to you."
Lara looked at her husband. "Thank you for always looking after me and worrying about me, but I want you to think more about yourself. Now eat quietly, I'll always be here so don't be afraid."
"But I'm'
"Let's eat Vander, or do you want me to take a bribe?"
Vanderpun's wife finally ate.

At night while asleep, Vander suddenly woke up. His body was already sweating, and his breathing was irregular. His eyes looked terrified, he immediately turned his head to the side looking at Lara who was sleeping right next to him. Vander stroked his wife's face gently, while the look on his face showed guilt. "I'm sorry Lara, I didn't think so far. Because of me, you're often caught in danger." Vander's eyes immediately glazed over his wife who was so calm in her sleep. Am I really taking care of you now?
Vander who was angry decided to come out to calm down. He took his coat and went outside to get some fresh air.
While smoking a cigarette Vander walked in the area around the apartment. "It's winter, '" said the man, staring at his palm, it had begun to turn red with cold.
Vander leaned against the tree and enjoyed smoking a cigarette in his mouth. Recalling his nightmare, Vander dreams of seeing Lara being tortured and crying in fear, while unable to help her. He could not imagine how scared and tormented he would have been if the dream had really happened. "Is it possible that the dream was a sign?" Vander didn't understand at all.
He looked up at the dark sky with no stars at all, the air was getting colder until it burst through the skin. Doubt began to haunt the man's mind.
**
In the morning at breakfast, Lara notices Vander not touching her breakfast and just looks at her. Seeing her so unusual, Lara became increasingly convinced that there was something serious that was being thought of by her husband.
"Van, do you not like the bread, if you do not like let me make another breakfast," concluded Lara break the reverie husband.
"Oh— no, I love the breakfast. It's just that today was a little not too hungry," said Vander reasoned.
Lara let out a long sigh and put on a sour face, then went back to eating her homemade sandwich. Actually it is a form of annoyance Lara who is tired, seeing her husband who since yesterday a lot of silence and continue to reason strangely.

In Miracle's office, Miranda, who had just returned from outside the city, walked to Lara's room.
Tok!
"Come in..." Said Lara who from afar already looks not excited. Seeing Lara seem lethargic, Miranda came to him and asked why she was not excited today?
Sitting opposite Mira, Lara then tells her friend about her husband who lately seems to be hiding something from her.
"Have you asked him directly?"
"It's Mira, but you know that my husband is hard to force, if not his own desire to tell him he won't tell," Lara said exasperatedly.
"If I thought maybe Vander was gonna need some alone time so I think you better respect him. Yeah at least a few days later when he's back as usual, you ask what's really going on."
Lara weighs the advice from Miranda which she thinks has a point as well.
"You should know Lara, my mother once said that life when married is certainly going to be different from when we were dating" said Mira.
"In fact, when we are married, we are required to be able to accept all the less and more of our partner whatever it is. Because in marriage there is no breaking up word that there is only the word 'divorce' where no one in this world wants the marriage to end with the word 'divorce'."
"That's you know," Miranda smiled back.
"You're good at advising me on household life, but why don't you get married?" Lara said to her best friend.
"If I haven't thought of going any further, I'd like to have a casual relationship with Gavin, not to rush."
Lara nodded in understanding. "The destiny of human life is full of surprises, right? I myself did not expect at my age that has not even twenty-two turned out to be a wife, even" said the girl who sometimes still did not think that she was married.
"I didn't think you were younger than me but I could be sure you were getting married" Miranda said.
Lara herself did not know why it could be so sure when proposed. Because what he felt when Van proposed to him at that time was only he believed and believed in the man, so Lara immediately received a proposal from Vander.

Returning from Lara's office, Gavin suddenly wants to buy her favorite pastry at one of the city's most famous pastry shops. Lara then asks Gavin to stop by the cake shop in question.
"Aren't you sure I don't want to go into the store?"
"No, you're here, I'm not too long either!"
About thirty minutes, Lara finally came back together with the cakes she bought. Gavin got out of the car and helped Lara bring him inside
"It!" Lara handed a tent containing Miranda's favorite cake to Gavin.
"This what?"
"That's Miranda's favorite cookie, tomorrow you give it to Mira, okay?"
"Gavin looks really happy. "Thank you, sister, you're very kind to pay attention to my relationship with Mira."
"Sama-sama, you are also very kind. Let's go home soon, I have to cook dinner for you."
"OK...!"
On the way home suddenly Lara just found a phone from Jah sir. He immediately lifted it.
"Hello sir, what's wrong?"
...
"What?! You're not making a joke, are you?!"
....
Lara instantly turned off her phone and immediately bowed silently.
