Lara was finally silent to let Edgar embrace her, because she also missed the embrace of her brother as well as the man she might start to love.
The two hugged in a standing position, until Edgar brought his sister to sit on the sofa in the room.
"From tomorrow I'll move into the apartment.'
Deg.
Lara who was surprised to look at Edgar questioningly, because she did not expect the man to decide to move from Mom Miranda's mansion so suddenly.
"Why?" Ask Lara.
Edgar was silent while staring blankly at the table in front of him.
"Did you change your mind and want to seize Kak Rose's position as the deputy CEO?" Lara asked suspiciously because Edgar was silent.
"You're it!" Edgar reflex mentoyor Lara's head. Maybe his sister suspected he wanted to seize something he never wanted to have. Even replacing Dad Robert, Edgar did not want him.
"Then why?" Lara asked as she rubbed her head in annoyance. Just now they made peace hugging each other but Edgar again made him upset with his head mentor.
"It's for our good." Edgar said seriously.
"Sister..."
"Yes Lara, I realize what we've been doing wrong. Soon I'm getting married to Julia, and I don't think you're pregnant so it's good we stay away." Edgar said it all with a heavy heart.
Being honest while away from Lara and not being able to kiss her armpits Edgar could not sleep, that's why he knew and saw when Lara woke up in the middle of the night eating instant noodles made by the waiter.
"Our family's condition is also getting more complicated."
Lara fell silent without even saying Edgar's words, because her heart was saddened by the man's decision to stay away from her. Maybe because Lara was used to Edgar's presence and her heart that began to love the man made Lara feel unacceptable.
"You must have known Miranda filed for divorce with Dad Robert."
Lara nods her head, knowing that Miranda has filed for divorce, even though Robert insists that he will not divorce her. But Miranda's decision seems to be final, with evidence of Robert and Nela's marriage indirectly causing a rift in Mom Miranda and Robert's marriage.
"Yes, I know." Said Lara with a sigh.
"That's why I chose to stay away so that the problems in our family are at least one less."
Lara again nodded her head but with tears dripping down her cheeks.
"Hey, don't cry." Edgar pulls Lara to his hug. "Don't cry anymore, and forgive me for what I did to you." Say it sincerely.
"But brother, I..." Lara is eager to tell Edgar that she can't get away from the man, that she loves Edgar Collins. But his voice was stuck in the throat when he realized their status was brother sister, Edgar would soon marry Julia. And most importantly of all, Edgar did not love her and their closeness was limited to the man's responsibility.

After the conversation between her and Edgar two days ago, Lara became uninspired to do anything. Moreover, the man actually moved into the apartment, and they were no longer communicating.
And now Lara is in a cafe with Kak Lily after picking up their dress to wear on Rose's wedding day.
"So I'm going to the toilet for a minute."
Lily nodded her head. Lara immediately moved from her seat in a hurry because she could not hold it anymore since she was in the car.
After finishing it, Lara who was about to get out of the toilet room did not so do when she heard the voice of someone she knew very well behind the outer wall.
"I told you never to come see me!" Nela riled at the man who had met her in a public place.
"Since you haven't sent the money, it's already three days late." Fredy said with an intimidating look.
"Later transfer now go!" Banish Nela harshly.
"Okay, but don't forget. Otherwise I'll—"
"Yes, now go!" Cut Nela with emotion because Fredy always threatens her.
Fredy leaves the place to coincide with Lara coming out of the toilet room.
"Tante Nela." Sapa Lara was surprised because it was true that the voice she heard was the voice of Robert's second wife.
"La-Lara what are you doing here?" Nela asked no less surprised when she saw the youngest child Miranda was at the place.
"I'm from the toilet, Auntie, what are you doing here?"
"I, of course, want to go to the toilet. Move over!" Nela immediately went into the toilet.
Lara who was confused by Nela's attitude, shrugged her two shoulders indifferently. "Basic is weird and annoying, just like a boy and his husband!" he said with annoyance because he thought back to the figure of Edgar.
Meanwhile, in the toilet room, Nela rushed to peek at Lara who was seen leaving the place.
"It's a good thing that Lara saw me, that the other Miranda child was gone." Nela rubbed her chest with a sigh of relief.
Yes, it is no secret that Lara Collins, the youngest child of Miranda, is a weak, ignorant, careless child, with a myriad of other shortcomings. So Nela didn't have to worry if Lara saw or heard her talk with Ferdy.
