After expressing his feelings, the truth about his stupidity even Ares who almost committed suicide because he was reluctant to feel the pain of cancer, then get a blow from the Daddy for stupid thinking about it. when convicted fake, when convicted, Ares also rained rain like a child, he said in the stage of enjoying life until he made a rain summoning ritual that ended with Oma angry with him.
“Hahahaha! Why is it like that?” cantika asked in disbelief, now she felt free to listen to Ares, trust him slowly.
“I just want the day of my last day to feel good.”
“Then what is the fate of the Alzheimer's doctor?”
“Daddy sued the hospital, but the director there instead offered to cooperate. So Daddy didn't sue.”
“Ah, what about your Daddy now? Already improving?” ask Cantika when he remembers Ares telling me that David dropped when the company went down.
“He's fine now, he's started working again. But more being at home, he said he wanted to be alone with Mommy. Although Oma often interrupts.”
“Ah, I miss them,” muttered Cantika, she remembered that the family was very warm and also welcomed her well.
“They are fine, healthy once.” Eager to continue with the sentence, “They are waiting for someone who can be their daughter-in-law, that is you.” But Ares held himself back, even he clenched his own hands, reluctantly making Cantika uncomfortable after laughing loosely. “Athena is fine too, she is healthy. Want to meet him?”
“He where?”
“He's home now, he's still in college. Want to become a doctor, because before our parents would put it into business school. Sometimes in dorms, sometimes at home. but he's fine.”
Cantika pursed her lips. “Athena also goes without news.”
“Sorry, after I got cancer, they all panicked and then yeah. Athena also several times wanted to go to Indonesia, but the situation is not possible, stacked also with some unpleasant events.”
“It's okay, I get it. Family of the main.”
“I'm sorry I didn't force myself to come to Grandpa's and Mama's funeral. I'm sorry.”
“Ares stops apologizing. I'm fine now, thanks for being open. You should have said that in the first place so that I wouldn't be prejudiced against you.”
“Hmm. I am ashamed of my stupidity,” said Ares playing his shoe-covered foot on the grass. “So after this... can we?”.
“Bertains? Of course.”
“Cantics. Have we broken up?”
“I consider it already,” said Cantika cleared her throat and looked forward. Not allowed to see Ares for long, he was worried that he would fall into his charm again. “It's been a part of the past.”
“You haven't forgiven me?”
“I forgive you, just not to repeat back the old story.”
“But I promise that if I get the chance, I will be a good companion for you.”
Indeed Ares had explained his reason for leaving, explaining why he did it. Understandably, Ares was terrified and his family was a mess at that time.only, it's just that, Cantika prefers that Ares be honest no matter what. “Ares, I think we're better suited to be friends.”
“No chance at all?”
Cantika swallowed his saliva roughly. “I have someone close to me now. Name Galuh. Remember her?”
Oh, Cantika admits the man, which means she recognizes Galuh's whereabouts and her feelings. “You guys dating?”
“No, we're just close. maybe someday it will.”
“You really don't have feelings for me anymore?”
Cantika does not know, he just does not want to hurt others, especially Galuh who has been helping him. If he returns to Ares, Cantika is not ready either. I don't know in what way, but being tied up with Ares made her feel a burden. “We're just friends huh?”
“But you will still allow me to keep trying right? I still have a chance, right?”
“Do not overdo it, Ares. Keep knowing the limits,” he said with a soft-sounding tone of voice. “Look we're just friends like we used to be. I still admire you. Take it easy, you're still cool.” Thumbs up on Ares's face.
Until the rain hit, Ares and Cantika immediately ran back inside and laughed together there.

“Um, tomorrow there is a big party we go to at night. Because tomorrow morning until the afternoon we have no event. Want to visit Athens?”
“Serious?” cantika asked as she turned to Ares with round eyes in disbelief.
The man combed his hair back, and replied, “Hmmm.” made Cantika swallow a coarse saliva. Ares is more dangerous if he is cool and like this. not acting annoying as usual. Cantika became worried that she would fall back on the charm of the man.
“August?”
“Sure, whatever time you are ready.”
“Then for the party?”
“Um, go to some people who might be interested in our new circle project.”
“So before, we collect people first?”
“People have gathered. It's just, we may need extra, they are usually profitable.”
Cantika does not bring any pretty dresses.
“You guys tomorrow ask Athena to find a dress for you too.”
“Ah okay.” Cantika's hand touched the necklace given by Ares. Just like the necklace she wanted in the past. Where Cantika says, “Kayak kayak is so funny huh. kayak in sophie the first, magic is.”
And now he gets it.
Sensitive Ares even turns off the AC when Cantika shivers. “Use this.”
“No need.”
“Wear, Cantika.” Hand over the suit to Cantika. The woman had to wear it. And gave a smile to Ares.
Duh, in the heart of Ares tried hard to refrain from crashing Cantika. He must stay sane. THE PLAQUE! Hit himself.
“Ares! What are you doing?!” ask Cantika surprised.
“Huh, I'm sleepy. Hehehe, I'm afraid of harming ourselves,” he said as such.in fact, he tried to be sane and did nothing to Cantika.
As soon as they arrived and returned to the room, the two were still talking. “Why not just continue? being a pianist?”
“Um, there are still more profitable jobs.”
“If you want...” Ares hung up his sentence, he bit his lower lip. No, how to get Cantika by seducing her would not work.
“You what?”
Was about to offer Cantika to be with him and live the day as a pianist and his wife. “No.”
When they both got to the front of their rooms. The two looked at each other. “Good sleep, once again I apologize for always acting silly, annoying and weird, and stupid.”
“Hey, stop saying it. I forgive you,” Cantika said. Then the woman came and hugged Ares. “Thank you for being my friend, Ares. You're a good man.”
“Ya, same,” said Ares who held his breath since earlier.
Before Cantika went into the room, the woman said, “Goodnight, Mr. Ares. Today you are great.” Then bowed and gave a sweet smile before finally entering the room.
Ares too, he went into his own room and his smile began to fade. His back that was leaning against the door started to fall, Ares crouched behind the door. “Friends said,” said Ares Nelangsa lamenting his fate there.
