Outside the mansion of Mr. Frans, there were thunderous sounds of lightning and the rain was pouring down. Ivona was still silent in Mr. Frans' room. Hearing the last words conveyed by Ivona, made the old man's mind sink everywhere. Richard, who did not understand the direction of his papa, fell silent. A while.., there was no talk in that room.
"Richard.., tell the maid to prepare a room for Ivona's rest tonight. I forbid him to go home, it's very dangerous. It was raining very hard, the road out of the mansion was very slippery." suddenly Mr. Frans' speech broke the silence. The sentence greatly shocked Ivona, and the young girl set her sights on Frans.
"What papa said.. Nana. You hear the sound of lightning too, it'll be dangerous if we get down from here tonight." Richard finally obeyed Frans' orders. The young man was still curious what kind of relationship his father had with Ivona. Not usually papa is very enthusiastic about finding out about a girl, this time like something is hidden by his papa.
Ivona was speechless.., she indeed heard the sound of thunder constantly blaring outside. Even the sound of heavy rain was heard in the room. A maid suddenly entered Mr. Frans' room.
"Young Master.., the room for Young Miss has been prepared. Also the dinner menu we had served at the dinner table." maid reported about the work she had just finished. Richard did not respond, he simply raised his hand up, and quickly the maid returned out of the room.
"Nana.., papa let's take a break. Come on. accompany me to dinner first!" Richard uses the excuse that if his father is going to rest, the young man invites Ivona to dinner.
"Good brother Richard... Mr Frans rest first! I'll accompany Brother Richard to dinner." Ivona says goodbye to Mr. Frans. The old man smiled, then...
"Go.., do not call me by the call of the Lord. Call me papa." Unexpectedly, Frans asked Ivona to call him papa. The young girl twitched her forehead, as did Richard.
"Don't think too much, you and I know you very well. Someday, you'll know the real story." Like knowing what's on Ivona's mind, Mr. Frans neutralizes the atmosphere. Ivona just nodded her head, then followed Richard out of the room.
***********
Seeing Ivona who was silent from earlier, made Richard feel bad. The young man tried to invite Ivona to have a conversation, so that the atmosphere became warmer. Moreover, Richard felt responsible, because he was the one who brought the young girl home.
"Did you not agree to stay here tonight Nana..?? I won't force you, despite your wish to stay here. It was done, because papa was very worried about you" Richard said as he looked at the young girl. Ivona shook her head..
"It doesn't matter to me to stay anywhere, brother.. In the same place, when it rains like this, I honestly miss my mom." Ivona answered Richard's words. While her mother was still living with her, every heavy rain and thunder boomed, the middle-aged woman would hug and accompany her to sleep.
"Oh so apparently, I'm being bad for you" Richard said. The man then poured rice on his plate, and upon seeing the plate the girl.
"Alright if you don't mind staying here tonight. I'll stay here too Nana.., eat now." Richard picked up the side dish using a food brace, then placed it on Ivona's plate. Like a sister, preparing food for her sister.
***************
Aldo's been riled up since the afternoon. The young man came to the hamlet of Ivona, but did not see the young girl there. When he asked the rusun manager, he got an answer if Ivona went with a young man.
"How is Donn.., have you found out the whereabouts of the young girl?? Don't tell me if you fail to carry out my orders, investigate Dr. Marcus." Aldo asked Donny for the results of tracking where Ivona was.
"It wasn't Young Master, and it wouldn't have been possible if Doctor Marcus had picked up the young girl. From the records of our man on the flight, Dr. Marcus flew to Japan this morning at seven. It's highly unlikely, if this afternoon the man had already picked up Miss Ivona." Donny submitted the results of his investigation.
"Then who else picked Ivona out..?? I don't want to know, track the CCTV in the hamlet and surrounding areas. Within a maximum of thirty minutes, you should immediately give me a report. I didn't want anything to happen to the girl." Without noticing her assistant's feelings, Aldo gave a less than reasonable order. But as the closest person to the CEO was, there was no courage for Donny to deny orders from his employer.
***************
The mansion of Mr. Frans
Ivona turned her back, since laying her body on the bed, the young girl had not been able to squint her eyes. The words of Mr. Frans were in his heart, adding to his curiosity to investigate the old man. The quickest way is to ask about Mr. Frans to his own mother.
"Or I'll take you to the lab for a second.." Ivona spoke to herself. The young girl thought how difficult and confusing it was just to meet her mother. Security and confidentiality of what is done by his mother if it has entered the laboratory, is indeed a very priority.
"But can I break through that security network..? Mama herself is also very smart to hide her identity in the virtual world. Many times I tried to hack my mama's account, but it always never worked." the young girl's back was like talking to a supernatural being, for talking to herself.
Feeling bored, Ivona finally sat back down. The young girl immediately grabbed the iPad from her bag, then quickly logged into her account. It didn't take long, the young girl was immediately immersed in the design drawings she had created using an app she had created herself. A medical device to relieve a person affected by a stroke, he quickly invented. The concept of creating such equipment is long, but always just a draft. The young girl made use of her bored time in this mansion to make a finishing.
"I'll just send this concept to Marcus. the young man will quickly test the equipment" Ivona said.
"If this material uses chrome color finishing.., it seems to be too ordinary. Why don't I try to use a rather unique color anyway." Suddenly the idea to make the final finishing of the coloring concept, the, make Ivona again engrossed in scribbles to translate from every color he needs.
