“Nona?” Handoko really did not understand what was really going on.
Mahardika and Daisy respect each other. Indeed, the engagement held when Daisy was 17 years old was not based on love as others did. Hence, there was only mutual respect in the children's relationship. However, what he saw just now was not mutual respect, but rather escape.
“Don't pity me!” Daisy said with a very clear anger in her voice.
Handoko could not say anything more now. He retreated and let Daisy scold while kicking a pebble in the parking lot. After exhaustion, the girl leaned on Handoko's car.
“We're back!” said Daisy.
Handoko seemed to have no idea who she was dealing with. Yesterday's Daisy was completely different from today. As if they were different people. The strange feeling that appeared within Handoko's heart suddenly became stronger.
“Good, Miss!” Handoko.
He opened the car door on the passenger side. Daisy went inside without saying anything. Plunge himself in a painful way according to Handoko.
“Where are we going now?” ask Handoko.
He started the engine and then started wearing seat belts. Glanced at Daisy first before looking back ahead and repeating the question.
“We'll be home!” daisy said after pondering for a moment.
Handoko changed the engine teeth manually, gradually stepping on the gas pedal with the tip of his shoe. The driven sports car drove across the parking lot, spun around and then out onto the street. Soon they were driving with the others on the highway.
During the trip, Handoko can only glance at Daisy a little through the middle rearview mirror, paying attention to the mood of her employer's child. His face looked irritated, dark, slightly flushed with anger. Handoko sure, never saw Daisy like that. Even on the day of her late mother's death. He always saw the little girl who was now entering adulthood was calm. Inversely with his daughter.
“Will Miss stop somewhere first?” ask Handoko.
Daisy's gaze immediately led to Handoko. Handoko's feeling suddenly became unsettled. The familiar feeling that was trying to get rid of reappeared. This feeling must have been only due to an attitude that was almost similar to his daughter's.
“I told you to go home! Why are you still asking!” daisy was very angry.
There was a pain that Handoko could not describe appearing in her heart. But, it shouldn't have happened, Daisy wasn't his daughter. Only the master's son he saw every day. Sometimes the girl would cross paths with him and say hello. It just so happens that Daisy made herself a driver. It must be because he wants to find out about his daughter who has made trouble.
Only silence dominated their entire journey. Handoko pressed the horn so the gatekeeper opened the door to enter.
Not stopping Handoko's car, Daisy has jumped down at the back door. The sound of thumping his feet as he touched the creepy concrete. His long footsteps left the car and drifted away.
But unfortunately, the girl did not go to the main door, but rather to the side garden, the path of the berggai stone laid out towards the pavillions.
Handoko just parked his vehicle now. He came down in a hurry and astonished the servants who happened to be around. He looks down and greets her before running small down the same street as Daisy.
“Nona!” He called for a call.
Daisy did not look. He had arrived in front of the pavilion where Handoko and his exit lived. The pavilion door opened, Stefani her daughter must have come home from college. Rushing Handoko reached the pavilion terrace. However, he is late because Stefani has gotten a slap.
“Stefani!” pekik Handoko was shocked. He ran towards the house, almost bumping into Daisy who was looking at him still with an incomprehensible angry look.
Handoko crouched down near her daughter, asking what happened.
A stronger familiar feeling ambushed Handoko's chest.
How could he be so sure that the one in front of him was not Stefani, but Daisy, the daughter of his master?

“Nona ... what's the problem?” asked Raise while walking with quick little steps beside Stefani.
Stefani stopped in her room. Just one step away from the door.
He turned around and pulled Raise's hand which was about to come in, and pushed the body of Daisy's loyal servant away from the door. “Let me alone!” emphatically.
However, Raise does not seem to let the things Stefani wants easily go. He tried to step forward again, entering with Daisy into the room. However, once again Raise was pushed out.
“I'll hit you later if you insist.” Stefani's whole body trembled with anger.
“Nona!”
One more push, Raise was stranded on the floor and the door of the room on Stefani's slamming hard. The door was locked from the inside.
After being alone, Daisy throws her bag over the bed and canvasses all the ever-nicks paired to her in a rude manner, throwing it on the floor screaming.
Stefani knew that this room was not soundproof at all. It's just that he's too upset with Mahardika, Daisy and anyone he knows. Is not he now the Daisy they all love, but why is it that no one behaves like Daisy.
“I've tried! What's the difference between me and Daisy? I am now him!” stefani shouted, not caring about someone who would hear him.
After screaming out his frustration, Stefani suddenly tired. He fell down and sat on the floor with a thick carpet. He took his breath back, looking at everything he had as Daisy now. There were a lot of nice clothes, trinkets, jewelry, shoes, and he no longer had to worry about the cash he had in his wallet. His life should have been easier.
“But, that's not all I want!” Stefani's tears were shed without warning.
The overwhelming sense of tightness pushed everything out. He wants attention as Daisy gets in addition to ease. He wants everything that makes him jealous.
“I won't give up just like that! I can't give up!” he said in a sob.
Stefani faintly heard the door being knocked from outside. Raise must be ahead.
“Nona! Are you okay?” The voice of the servant who took care of Daisy long ago trembled. If not, he will soon make someone come to open the door.
“Yes, I'm fine.” Stefani replied in a loud voice.
It's not over yet. He has not lost anything now. So, if he survives a little more on Daisy's body then everything will return to its original place. Those people were likely just astonished by her calm attitude change becoming explosive. They all need to adapt.
“The formula still needs a lot of time so you realize, yes?”
Stefani's eyes are wide. He turned his head and found the old man who gave him a small bottle in the back, looking riled up at him.
