This morning Damar was startled by the ringing of his cell phone, the handsome widower flinched from his sleep and immediately grabbed the flat object lying carelessly on the bed. Without seeing the caller's ID, Damar answered immediately.
"Hello," said Damar with a typical sound of people waking up.
"The room! You really are, yes!"
Damar's eyes opened wide when he heard the mother's scream from across the phone.
"Mom, why are you so angry so early in the morning?" damar asked pleasantries even though he knew the purpose of Lusi contacting him.
"What did you do to Sarah? Why are you acting like that, huh?"
"I didn't do anything, I just took him for a walk and a meal, was that wrong?" argue Damar.
"Not that, but your cold attitude is what you mean. It's not the first time, you always disappoint Mama!"
"If you already know that, you better stop setting me up with the women Mama's choice, because I don't like."
"Mama will stop setting you up if you're married. But as long as you're alone, Mama will continue to find a soul mate for you."
Lusi turned off the phone call without Damar having time to protest or say anything.
Damar exhaled heavily and then threw his phone on the bed, his heart slightly upset at what Lusi said. He got up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Sera was enjoying breakfast at the dinner table, and soon Damar came down and sat down next to the girl.
"Good morning Sera" said Damar.
"At first, Om."
"Where is yuni?"
"So she said to the bathroom."
"Oh." Damar immediately ate breakfast in front of him.
"Of!" call Sera.
Damar looked at him. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I've decided where I want to go to college."
"Really, where?" ask Damar curiously.
"University of Tunas Bangsa, Om," replied Sera.
"Child Om also went to college there," said Damar.
"Oh yeah? What faculty is he, Om?"
"Faculty of law, semester four."
Sera.
"It turns out that Om Damar's son was a faculty member with Dafi, perhaps they were friends," said Sera, who immediately remembered her former lover.
"If you want to study what?" Damar asked again.
Sera flinched, "Oh, if I'm planning on majoring in accounting, Om."
"Well, that's good! You can work in Om's office when you're done."
"Really, Om?"
"Yes, Om promised you a job. That's why you have to study hard, don't disappoint Om!"
Sera nodded, "Surely, Om. I won't disappoint Om, I promise!"
Damar smiled as he rubbed Sera's head, "Good boy!"
Sera felt happy every time Damar rubbed his head, he felt like a child that his father loved.
"Then Om will help you register there."
Yuni who had just finished shitting came in haste, "Eh, Oppa is down. Good morning." Good morning."
"Good morning, Yun."
The three of them continued their breakfast.

Damar was reading the file in front of him, suddenly his phone vibrated, a message came in from the mother.
"MAMA WANTS YOU TO MEET SARAH AND APOLOGIZE TO HER TONIGHT, OTHERWISE MAMA WILL RETURN TO INDONESIA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE."
Damar threw his phone on the table, he was upset to read the threatening message from his mother. Riko who happened to be in his room was surprised.
"What's up, sir?" ask Riko curiously.
"You read this," Damar pushed his cell phone containing the message of Lusi towards Riko.
Riko frowned, "Who's Sarah?"
"She's Mama's friend's son, we met last night and I'm so cute with her. She complained to Mama and now Mama told me to apologize to her."
"Yes, you just meet and apologize, than your mother returned to Indonesia, could be serious. Where are you going?" Riko.
"The thing is I'm lazy to meet him again, I don't want to give any hope to women, I don't want to hurt them later" Damar argued.
"So how, dong?"
Damar exhaled heavily, "Either, I'm also confused."
Riko seemed to be thinking hard, and an idea popped into her head.
"I have an idea, sir."
"What?" ask Damar lazily.
"How about you meet that Sarah with a woman, tell her you already have a boyfriend. He will not expect you anymore. How's it?" riko Proposal.
"Who is the woman I'm going to take with me and pretend to be my girlfriend?"
"You're a lot of girlfriends, just pick one."
"You know what my relationship with those women is like, they're just partners in bed, I don't even keep their phone numbers, so how do I contact them?"
"Well, come to the bar, keep renting one of his whores." Riko gave her advice.
Damar suddenly stared at the subordinate, "You have no other idea what? If you hire a woman at the bar, what ends up at the hotel isn't seeing Sarah."
Riko came back to thinking, and one more idea suddenly stopped in her head.
"Sera!" exciting Riko.
Damar frowned, "Why with Sera?"
"How about you ask Sera to pretend to be your lover?"
Damar shook his head quickly, "No! What kind of idea is that? I don't want to!"
"That's a brilliant idea, sir. And certainly not complicated," replied Riko lightly.
"You're crazy, huh, Ko? Sera is like my son, now my lover, heck!" sulang Damar did not accept.
"It's just pretending, sir. Not for real, and the only ones who know are us."
"Yes, but it feels weird, Ko. I'm sure Sera won't either."
"You try to talk to Sera first, explain to her the truth. I'm sure he will help you, sir," Riko said confidently.
Damar sighed, he felt disapproving of Riko's crazy idea but he also had no other ideas.
