I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with throw
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rules

Martha glanced at Lidya who was still sculpting, she approached Lidya and whispered "Arthur has changed, dear. Now you're the grand guest of this house, just relax"
Lidya laughed at Martha's words, she returned Arthur's greeting and smile. Arthur looks fascinated with Ayles, looks at him but does not dare to approach Ayles. Lidya glanced around the room but did not find Dora.
Just like Luckas who also realized that Dora was not in the living room.he also looked at Martha "Mom.grandma?"
Martha smiled "Dora has been waiting for you since, Luckas. He was in your father's study, he told us he wanted to talk to you both"
Instantly Lidya became nervous, Martha again approached him "calm down.. Dora herself told me straight away that she won't be against you anymore and that she'll even accept you.."
A smile that had to adorn Lidya's face, she was not sure of Martha's words this time. However, realize Luckas is also with him..Lidya felt a little calm, at least she had Luckas accompanying her to face Dora.
"Steward.." said Martha in a slightly loud voice, and soon the figure of Steward approached them.
"yes,madam?"
"Can you take out all our gifts for Ayles?"
Steward immediately nodded "of course.."
And it does not take long, a variety of new toys directly fill the living room table that large. Ayles eyes again sparkled when he saw the cars and robots on the table.
"you can leave Ayles with us, Luckas.." said Martha who immediately approached Ayles "Ayles here messing with grandma yuk. grandma has prepared many toys for you.."
Ayles looked at Lidya, Lidya smiled at her "Ayles wants to play?"
"want.." she said.
"may.but..Ayles can play with grandma and granpa?"
Ayles.
"mommy and daddy aren't going anywhere, and just want to talk for a little while..Ayles can play around here for a minute"
Ayles nodded slowly.
"okay,mami.."
Luckas took Ayles down from his carrier, Martha took Ayles by the hand and walked towards the toy that was waiting for her.
Lidya looked at Luckas and immediately went to Arthur's study, where Dora had been waiting for them. Lidya clasped Luckas' hand with mixed feelings.
"why does he just want to see us?" ask Lidya.
"i don't know either, dear.but, be calm.I'm with you" whispered Luckas.
Arriving in front of Arthur's office, a servant was seen standing in front of the door and knocking on the door "madam..The young master and Miss Lidya have come.."
Not long after, Dora's voice came from behind the door "well, tell them to come in"
"grandma.." said they were almost together. Luckas and Lidya enter into it together, Dora who stands by the window, looks at them with a smile. there are no more stares and cynical look at Lidya, and Lidya again surprised by him. For a moment she trusted Martha's words to her.
"Sit.." - Says Dora.
Luckas pulls Lidya to sit on the couch in his father's office. Dora walked slowly over to them and sat down on the sofa that only fit herself.
Dora looked at Lidya after she landed herself on the sofa "forgive me for yesterday's events" she said softly.
Lidya back gawking.Someone Dora Ryans apologized to her???!!. Lidya could never even dream of this, not just Lidya.. Luckas himself gawks when he hears his grandmother apologizing to Lidya.
"it's okay, madam.everything is just a misunderstanding." replied Lidya.
Dora's two eyebrows seem to merge "madam? Aren't you getting married?"
Luckas nodded slowly, he still felt that the Dora before him now was not the usual Dora.
Dora smiled again "so.why do you still call me "madam"? Shouldn't you change the call for me too?"
Lidya blushed in embarrassment, while Luckas nodded quickly "really once,grandma. We will get married soon therefore we came at once to tell grandma"
"Grandma will accept whatever your decision is, Luckas.but.just one request from me.and I really hope you can accept it" said Dora with a serious face back.
Lidya and Luckas stare at each other and see Dora almost simultaneously, "what is it,grandma?" ask them together.
"my request is very easy, Luckas.you do not need to be afraid or think that no-no.." said Dora "I.just want the results of DNA tests from Ayles.that's it.."
An answer that slapped Lidya indirectly. Lidya's face turned grim, she understood her almost overflowing emotions. He did not understand, why never once went smoothly when dealing with Dora.
