OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 232 HAVE YOU CHANGED, WEINI?
“How are you doing om?” Stevan greets Haris who opens the door to welcome them. His hand tote the still warm Bangka martabak and let out a delicious aroma. Weini was the one who leaked his father's favorite snack, because Stevan felt uncomfortable coming empty-handed.
“Nak Stevan, finally stopped by too. Om guess we forgot the same.” Canda Haris, as usual he wanted to test the young man's heart.
Stevan was full of laughter hearing the crisp joke Haris, “Om could have, which might have forgotten. Every day also work with Weini, sorry yes Om lately busy so hard to stop by.”
“Kok I am not asked om?” chirps Dina who stood behind Stevan, waiting to be invited in.
Haris laughed, he only meant to tease Stevan, of course he understood the busyness of the actor. “We continue inside only, not good chat stand.” Haris said, leading them inside.
“I go to the room first yes, Dad .. Kak Stev.” Weini hurried to her room, she impatiently wanted to take a sultry bath. Dina followed Weini, just putting the artist's equipment into the room.
The two girls occupying the room finally gave the opportunity to the two men of different generations who were outside it was free to talk. Haris invited Stevan to sit in the living room, but his guests were even wayward and chose to hang out in the backyard of the house. Enjoying the cool breeze that smells of water, Haris predicts that in one hour it will surely rain heavily.
“Taken tasting mumpung still warm.” Haris came out with a tray containing one teapot and two empty glasses. When he was about to pour it for Stevan, the young man grabbed him with a smile.
“I poured aja, om.” Sela Stevan's. He poured the tea that still gave steam and gave it to Haris first.
“So long ago I never hung out this leisurely.” Said Stevan, the atmosphere is pleasant and calm plus sitting with Haris who carries calm, fishing uneg-unegnya out.
“Then, enjoy this time.” Haris sipped his tea, the habit of drinking tea was hereditary, even Weini and Xiao Jun liked it.
Stevan views Haris, Haris charisma as a wise man in Stevan's eyes, convincing him to want to vent his feelings. “Yes, um thank you. Om and Weini, Dina, make me feel like I have a family.” Stevan
looking up, looking up at the deep cloudy night sky.
“Where are your parents? You seem to be quite independent, even though with your popularity now, you can get more enjoyment of life.” Ask Haris slowly. It's touching someone's privacy.
Stevan was still staring at the sky as if he had eyes and returning his gaze. A bitter smile fell from his lips. “They exist, but it feels like nothing. Too busy with each other's affairs, in our family money is everything.”
Haris was silent, he did not want to ask any more details. The whole contents of Stevan's mind have been clearly read, Haris just knew the young man beside him had a dark side of life that is also not easy. In that readable thought, Stevan missed his parents who were overseas.
Haris mendehem, “You've done well? When is the day Weini said you entered the hospital?”
Stevan finally turned his gaze from the darkness of the sky to the calm look of Haris's face. Somehow there was a feeling of pleasure that was hard to explain, each time staring at Haris. “Iya om, just soy sauce. After returning home filming continued until dawn, which there was even drop.” Stevan replied, laughing.
Haris smiled, not expecting Stevan to just answer like that. “Oh, so.. set a healthy lifestyle and reduce non-essential activities. Sweetheart your body, you're still young.” Haris said, his mind focused on reading the contents of Stevan's mind. There was something he had to make sure of before taking any further action.
Stevan chuckles get the attention of Haris, “Iya om, thanks.”
Stevan frowned, he knew very well Weini's condition and strange events at that time. Do I have to tell Haris that Weini! I promised to keep my mouth shut, not tell anyone including Haris.
Haris heard Stevan's inner voice, and he gave a smile. Not wrong to judge the young man, since he first shook hands with him, Haris knew Stevan was a good man. From the content of Stevan's mind that could hold the promise, Haris had steadily made the decision to let the man keep Weini's secret. He didn't erase Stevan's memory of the incident.

A place by the roadside, under a shady tree that used to be Xiao Jun's headquarters was lurking over Weini's house. That was where his luxurious car was parked, Xiao Jun resumed his old habit of spending an hour just staring at the courtyard of Weini's house. He turned off the car engine, sat restlessly behind the steering wheel, staring at the red jewelry box that was in the grip.
Remember Jun, you have to give it to him. Tell him I chose him!
The words of Li An were still ringing, the small gift he had chosen for Weini became his responsibility until it was handed over to the owner. But it was not this reason alone that brought Xiao Jun to this point, the strong urge from his heart to immediately see his fiancee that was the main intention.
From a distance Xiao Jun saw the car he still knew the owner. Whether by chance or after he left, Stevan often came to visit. Xiao Jun clenched his hands, negative thoughts poisoned his senses, he was annoyed with the accusations that were not yet clear in reality. The innocent steering wheel instead fell victim to the impingement, Xiao Jun smashed a few fists at the inanimate object. His gaze was fixed on Stevan's car, the flames of jealousy burning Xiao Jun's heart without him noticing that he was jealous.
Xiao Jun just remembered his cell phone, since the trip to Hong Kong airport, he had not reactivated the communication device. Now he is impatient, his phone is still in the process of searching for signals but he has pushed the Whatsapp application.
“OMG!” Xiao Jun almost forgot to breathe so shocked he saw what he did by accident. A message that typo sent to Weini, the status of the message had even been read but there was no reply until
now it's. Weini's account was last active an hour ago but she did not give a reply. Just because it was plus seeing Stevan's car parked there, Xiao Jun was hot-hearted.
“Weini, have you changed?” hiss Xiao Jun. He did not think that what he had done so far was much more painful for Weini. He had just felt that his message had only been read without reply, and already this sick, how was Weini who also received similar treatment when Xiao Jun refused the incoming call and ignored the message?

The rain began to rush across the earth, the clear speck seeping into the ground. Haris is still sitting in Stevan's company, while the girls seem to have no intention of joining. They haven't shown up since they came into the room. Haris gazed at the drizzling rain in the backyard, which from nature would be re-selected by nature, a simple thought inspired by what he observed.
The deg! A strange feeling Haris felt, the same sort of magic connection with him felt very close. He sharpened his sixth sense, tracking down the source of power that was clearly not from Weini. Stevan was eating the cake he was carrying and admiring the rain, an opportunity Haris used to close his eyes and concentrate his mind. It only took two minutes, Haris re-opened his eyes while sharing a happy smile.
“Nak Stevan, relax first. I'm going to go back for a minute.” Haris was alibi not to be suspected by Stevan.
He sped up the steps towards the living room and then pulled over the white curtains that blocked the view. His smile flashed as his pair of eyes pointed at the road, someone there was already being watched by him.
Welcome back, my son!
