OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 498 STEVAN EFFORT
Two days passed after Weini's public appearance, the whole world reported it and of course as Weini hoped, there were no significant obstacles. Everything seemed to be under control as the magic that was being triggered from his mind. Now he is relaxing to enjoy his afternoon with tea with Haris.
"Dad, how long do you think that magic will happen?" Ask Weini who thought about the time of the magic that he devoted to influencing the masses of that time.
Haris seemed to think then shook his head, he could not get the answer either.
"I don't understand Hwa, it's a new case for me. I have never seen any magic that can penetrate distances and dimensions. Hm... You only control them through the mind, but not only the people in that place are affected, but to all directions. We can only observe, to what extent the suggestion will be embedded in their minds."
Weini was a mangosteen, she could understand Haris's constraints. Even his new strength was beyond Weini's expectations, unexpectedly it could appear at that moment. "Jun also said that there my magic was very felt, he was sensitive and could not be affected. Same with dad here. Is it possible that the ones who are not affected are only those who also have power like us, father?"
"It's possible, but the world is so vast, we can't know all the things about who also has power." Haris muttered, he knew where Weini was going.
"I fear that my courage yesterday offended those who chose to hide their identity and strength. They must think I'm arrogant, or they might want to test my skills. I have to how dad, this didn't happen to me at all." Weini was a bit anxious, he did not want to deal with any sorcerer on earth, let alone have to fight for power if they did not accept Weini's extraordinary abilities.
Haris smiled calmly, a smile that could ease Weini's panic.
"Don't think too much, calm down. What is not certain happens, do not make a burden. The power of your mind has just emerged, and you also do not know how to control it. It's best to keep thinking good things well, so bad things don't happen." Haris gave his best advice.
Weini slowly nodded in understanding, a smile emanating from her face. "I understand, dad. Thank you." Thank you."

It was not the first time Grace was panicked by Stevan who suddenly could not be reached. This time the man went back to acting and even worse than before, since yesterday his phone was off and did not leave a message at all to Grace. Of course Grace was worried, the man who was considerate and apparently would not hurt her was able to do something like this. Now Grace is desperate to find him, and regrets not having the number of the people closest to her.
"Don't you know Fang's manager's number?" Grace asked impatiently so excited, she became emotional and the impact of course Fang.
"I don't know, miss. But Dina would know." Fang Fang replied in fear.
"Dina...." Grace immediately turned on the screen of her phone, in her heart was not stopping to curse her who could forget Dina at this moment.
Grace's call tried to connect with Weini's manager.
"Hello Dina, do you know where Stevan is?" Grace asked impatiently as soon as the call connected.
"Stevan? No.. Shouldn't you be the one who knows more about him?" Dina was confused and asked back, she did not know and rarely communicated with Stevan since they both had their own partners.
At once Grace's heart collapsed, no one knew where the man was now. There's no hope left, Grace doesn't know where to look.
"Oh.. okay, thanks." Grace replied weakly then ended the call.
Dina followed in confusion, especially when she heard Grace's weak voice. "Have I answered wrong?" He also became curious and tried to dial Stevan's number.
"Eh? Not active? Tumben was a boy." Mumbled Dina who ended up being as anxious as Grace.

Somewhere very far from Jakarta, people who were panicking the people closest to him seemed to stand at the door.
In order to get to this place, he secretly booked a plane ticket and flew on the earliest flight. Without notice to the person he wants to visit, even without having time to say goodbye to those he left behind.
His hand reached for the bell on the wall, with a single touch already ringing it into the house. He heard her sigh, as if caught off guard by the circumstances that inevitably he had to live this. His eyes stared at the end of his shoes, fretting for the homeowner's response. Fortunately the wait was not as long as he had expected, the door moved and opened to welcome him.
A beautiful middle-aged woman who looks fashionable despite her age is no longer young, initially seemed confused by the arrival of the guest she had expected. Until when his eyes collided with a young man whom he knew and longed for, then his smile was engraved from his lips.
"Stev.." -...." Wiry of the woman, her eyes began to glaze over, how she missed the young man's figure for so long. And he never thought there would be a day when the man would come looking for him.
Stevan was silent for a moment, wanting to return the call but his tongue still felt faint. Heavy really..but when he saw the woman was in front of him, the anger he had been craving all this time began to fade, changing longing that wanted to be immediately expressed in body language.
The woman called 'Ma' rushed to slide the door open completely, hoping to hug her son immediately but to be undone. Afraid that Stevan will refuse again like he used to.
They stood in silence, stunned and staring at each other with teary eyes. Until one of them succumbed in his silent action and broke the silence in a word.
"Come in, we'll just talk inside." The woman then walked into her house, hoping Stevan would follow in her footsteps.
Stevan kept quiet and followed the owner, hesitating to sit down, but his mother gave them a code to talk in a quieter atmosphere and sit on the couch in the room.
"How are you doing, son? It's been a long time since that day...." She recalls the past when Stevan revolted and firmly abandoned her.
Stevan slightly lowered his head, without him noticing his fingers squeezing each other from his hands. He does not want to remember anything in the past, his arrival is not to reminisce with the bitterness of life that is reluctant to be remembered again.
"Ma, I don't want to bring that up anymore." Stevan firmly.
Mama Stevan was fixated, the look on her face immediately looked sad but she forced her to smile. "Ah.yeah, forgive mama."
A few minutes they were silent, looking for the right words to start the conversation and Stevan could not stand it first. After all, it is he who came here to look for it, if not for the request of the lover, maybe until now Stevan will not be moved to look for his parents again.
"The taste is the same, nothing changes with time. You're still living apart." Stevan blak blakan.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be going awry, her eyeballs spinning in search of the right answer.
"Ah.. that...."
"Here you go, I didn't come to discuss that. Sorry for my sudden arrival, there's something important I'd like to ask you." Said Stevan with so much earnest that it can be felt by his mother.
"Whatever it is say, mama will do it for you." The woman cried seriously, she was very happy to be reunited with her only son, and Stevan also came looking for her.
The relationship between Stevan and his parents was quite strange, he ran away from them because he could not see a house that was like hell. There is no family warmth in the house, which is always filled with conflict and bickering both parents.
Only for Grace, for the sake of realizing her dream of getting to know and get the blessing of her parents who failed to build household harmony. What Stevan does not hope to set an example for Grace, he dreams of having a peaceful household, living together and calm until death separates, unlike the two closest people.
Now the woman accepted it cheerfully, willing to grant what she wanted, but Stevan was unsure if it would happen after she heard what she wanted from him.
"I want to introduce a girl to you, she really wants to know you. And she's the girl I chose to be my life partner."
A full-fledged smile from Stevan's mama's lips, the unexpected happy news could finally be heard from her son. Stevan frowned, not expecting his mother to look happy. He thought the woman would be angry and would not fulfill her wish.
"Of course, son. Introduce me, and tell me what your future wife is like." Pinta the woman was enthusiastic.
Stevan smiled with relief, but there was still something in his heart. He looked at his mother closely, then the answer his mother was waiting for was said firmly.
"She's a nice and special girl, she's big in America but has mixed Asian blood. I'll bring him here to see you. But please, don't reveal anything in the past. I don't want him to be burdened with your grim story. I really wish I could have a harmonious married life and protect our children, give them happiness and security." Strictly Stevan, although he was serious but sounded bitter anyway. He did not intend to bring up the mistakes of his parents, but more do not want to be if he failed to become a parent later in life.
The woman looked down sad, regretting what she had done in the past.
"I know you're hurt a lot because of us, but once you're out of our lives, I feel like that's my toughest punishment. Your father and I decided to live apart but we weren't really apart. There is still a marriage between us. But, with your current return and with your plea, Mama is fully aware that mama and papa have indeed failed to set a good example for you. Take it easy, my mom knows what to do. Bring your girl here, we'll welcome her as a family."
Stevan looks sparkling now, there is still some kindness from his mother and he is very moved.
"Thank you, mama...."
