Cahya tells Yongki to clean up in the guest room, while she and Aditya will take the children to their room. Cahya could not force Aditya, otherwise Aditya would get even more angry. Besides why also Cyntia's parents did not leave because it would only waste their time, Aditya will still behave the same, they should just give up. Moreover, their intentions were very bad and made Aditya even more fed up with them. Though they should be able to come with better intentions and really regret their actions yesterday also the actions of Cyntia.
Elsewhere, Ariel comes to Aditya's office, not to meet his best friend because he knows that Aditya is not there, but of course Ariel wants to see Maysa. It turns out that the plan to tell Aditya to find out more details about Maysa has been successful, where Aditya get the info that the secretary is now alone and just broke up with his girlfriend a few months ago. With the news Ariel will certainly try hard to get Maysa's heart, however she must succeed. Ariel wants to get to know Maysa even more.
"Sir Ariel?? Want to see Aditya sir, right??? He was not in the office right now" Maysa stood up and bowed her back to Ariel.
"I know, Adit's in his plantation office right??? I came here to see you!"
Maysa. "Meet me??? What need does Mr Ariel want to see me for?? Is there anything important?"
"Yes there is something important that I have to tell you, I want you to reply to my messages not to just read them and ignore them, I want to get closer to you so at least give me a chance to get to know you further"
Maysa was immediately shocked to hear Ariel blatant speech in front of her. The man did not care that they were now in the office, lucky Maysa's work desk was different from other staff so that the conversation was not heard by others. "What did you say??? Why are you talking about something like this here?" Maysa said, she looks misbehaved because of what Ariel just said to her.
"I'm talking here because you didn't give me a chance to talk in a private message, nor did I know what floor your apartment was on, so I just came here"
"But you shouldn't say it here?"
"I told you earlier that you didn't give me a chance to say it any other way, oh yes I'm waiting for you in your apartment lobby at 7pm tonight, I'm taking you to dinner with me, don't refuse or I'll tell Aditya if you've been disrespectful to me, remember 7pm, okay???" Excuse me" Ariel then left Maysa's desk with her smile.
While Maysa just stood glued to see the departure of Ariel. He could not turn down Ariel's request because the man just passed by. Maysa did not expect that Ariel could do that. He did not discuss Ariel's message not because of anything but because he felt bad considering Ariel is a friend of his boss also for fear that there will be a negative view for him. But it was precisely his attitude that seemed to make Ariel proterls to him.
Maysa is confused should she accept a dinner offer with Ariel later tonight. But he was also afraid that if he refused Ariel instead reported it to Aditya which would make the assessment of him worse.
****
At 7pm, Ariel waited for Maysa in the lobby of her apartment. Because Ariel also has an apartment there, Ariel decided to spend the night there and will not go home. Ariel of course has prepared a special dinner at one of his restaurants. Tonight she must convince Maysa to give her a chance to fill the void.
Almost 30 minutes Ariel waited but Maysa did not show up either. Ariel just realized maybe he was too much so maybe Maysa felt uncomfortable. But Ariel will try to wait again maybe until 30 minutes later, if indeed there is no sign of Maysa's presence, then he will return to his room.
Maysa standing in front of Ariel who was busy with her phone made the man shocked. Maysa looks very beautiful with a red dress she wears, with hair in the booth and simple make up. Ariel smiled and stood up and felt it.
"You're so pretty!" Praise Ariel.
On the other hand, Cahya peeked through the window that connected the front balcony with the family room, it was already night but the two Cyntia parents still survived in front of the villa Aditya. While Aditya does not care about them at all and instead busies himself playing with the twins accompanied by Yongki who cancels his intention to go home because Cahya and Aditya force him to stay overnight and return tomorrow only.
"They're still there" muttered Cahya approaching Aditya.
"I said let it go, if they want to stay there it's none of our business" Aditya said.
"Yes Ca, let it be, the more the night the air will cool the more they will definitely give up by themselves" Sela Yongki later said.
"Well, dinner's ready, let's go down and we'll eat"

Ariel and Maysa finally arrive at Ariel's luxury restaurant. Ariel invites Maysa in because she's already booked a table for them. Not long after the food came because Ariel had asked the manager of the restaurant to serve a superior menu there when she came later and now it has been served according to Ariel's request.
Ariel invites Maysa to enjoy all the dishes served. Maysa had been silent since, thinking that Ariel was overdoing this to her because she was not used to being treated this way. But the man seemed to have his own way of treating women.
The appetizers are over, they just wait for the main food to come. "May, do you like the opening meal??" Ask Ariel.
"Like sir, thank you for the dinner!"
"There's no need to say, oh yes, what I said this afternoon, I'm telling you the truth so I hope you consider it and give me a chance to get to know you closer, I know this must be too soon and make you feel uncomfortable but trust me I'm serious about it"
"How could you like me?"
"There's no reason to like someone, I don't know that I just like you that's all, you want to give me that chance?"
Maysa was speechless, she did not know what to answer, considering that Ariel had been married before and the man's marriage failed because of her affair with another woman, then how could she accept such a man. If about kindness, Ariel had been very good but then Ariel made Maysa doubt, she was afraid of being disappointed again by men. Given that his last relationship was very bad yesterday, his girlfriend instead took advantage of him, often asking for money and behaving badly and often spending time drinking, if his wishes are not met, he said, he will be the victim of the man's anger. And now Ariel approaches him, but Maysa can't just forget what Ariel once did to his ex-wife, as a woman, of course, she expects to get a partner who really sincerely loves her and can treat her well.
Ariel stared at Maysa with a pounding heart and his heart beating faster waiting for an answer from Maysa, whether the woman would give him a chance or not to get to know him more closely.
