Kanaya's condition is fine, fortunately the fight did not affect the content. This shocked everyone in the house, especially if Rachel was angry because she was not told that Kanaya had been kidnapped.

"Oma already, Kanaya is okay? " said Kanaya who tried to calm down Rachel's oma.

"But.... ".

"Oma, Niki's mama video said it's been uploaded yes".

"Where? Many people watching? " Kanaya switched the conversation.

"Oh yeah baby, oma forgot to tell. You see the preoccupation with vlogs in the back there. Introducing Seline to the oma fans" ora Rachel chuckled softly at her new hustle.

"The video yesterday has been watched by more than a million viewers dear" said Oma Rachel so happy. The two of them chatted with his voice. Sometimes they laugh when Rachel's mom shows her phone to Kanaya.

Adrian asked his opinion to talk about the name mentioned by Mr. Rahman. Adrian is convinced that this has to do with Kanaya's past and her family's disappearance.

"Opa meet a guy named Ronald".

"Who exactly is she opa? " ask Adrian. But Adam's opa was speechless, for he was at a loss to tell.

"He is papa's nemesis" said Hendry, who suddenly stood beside Adrian.

"I mean papa" Adrian is confused about this.

"He was the one who had ruined his life, because he tried to commit immoral acts to Kanaya when she was five or six years old".

"He was a terrible pedophile, many of whom were victims".

"He was revenge for papa burning his odd storage warehouse and foiling all his cooperation with some other company" Hendry told him everything that had befallen him, Kanaya and his family. Adrian was surprised to find out everything. It did not rule out the possibility that he wanted revenge. But with his insistence he killed Radit, only wanting revenge on his in-laws and his wife. Inexcusable, Adrian determined to find the whereabouts of the man.

"Better forget for a moment this matter, we take care of the wedding reception Adrian and Kanaya" opa Adam proposed that everyone return to their business to come here.

"It's better that way pa" said Hendry.

"Sorry papa son, has involved yourself in this matter" this time Hendry really feel sorry for Adrian.

"Kanaya is now my wife and she is also pregnant with my son. It's fitting that I protect them" Adrian said making Hendry feel proud and happy his son has a husband who is knighted.

"Giselle, anyone want to talk to you? " for the first time Andre has chatted with Giselle since they met.

"Yes, I also have something to talk to you about Dre" said Giselle.

"Wouldn't you accompany me to buy something? A gift to someone"

Andre tries to establish a good relationship again with Giselle. Let the past story pass, it is better to improve the relationship now.

"Yes, of course" Giselle said enthusiastically.

"Let's go now" Andre asked. They finally went to a jewelry store. Andre asks Giselle to pick a ring she likes and tells Giselle to try it. Giselle seemed so very happy and happy with Andre's treatment that was not as cold as before. Andre then took Giselle to a cafe.

"Giselle I have something to say" said Andre gently, holding Giselle's hand.

"Yes" Giselle seems so nervous, will something good come to their relationship, Giselle thinks.

"Will you be my life partner?" Andre gave a question that made Giselle's heart flowery so happy. This was his dream from a long time ago, he was always waiting for Andre to ask him this.

"Thank you, Giselle, you answered".

"You think he'll answer the same thing if you're asked the same question?" andre's words confused Giselle.

"What do you mean Andre?" ask Giselle who does not understand Andre's words.

"I was training to try to propose to someone".

"It's a good thing you Giselle can help me, for the ring you chose earlier thank you. I hope he likes it" Andre said.

Tub struck by lightning in a hole, Giselle sculpted because of the shock given by Andre. It had flown high above the clouds and then it was thrown down to the bottom of the earth. Pain, of course very hurt Giselle. This is what is called a bloodless wound.

"He must like it".

"I'm sorry to go to the toilet first" Giselle said to go to the toilet because she felt her tears were at the end. He did not want Andre to see him cry because it was sad that Andre had a new heart.

Giselle walked over with a shunt and wiped away the tears that had already flowed down her cheeks. In the toilet Giselle spilled the sadness of her heart. I hope Andre still has the same feelings as him. He was unable to stem the feelings of sadness, pain and disappointment mixed in his heart. To the point of making his head heavy, his sight darkened and dispelled all of his consciousness.

After a while, Giselle woke up and felt her head still heavy. He looked around him, there was no where he was now.

"You're awake? " Andre came to Giselle with a glass of water.

"Where's this? " ask Giselle.

"Special rest room cafe employees here".

"Why did you faint? You are sick again? You should have said, I'm not going to push you out" Andre was so panicked to see the condition of Giselle who fell unconscious earlier.

"I'm okay, maybe a little tired".

"Andre, there's something I want to talk to you about" Giselle said, holding Andre's hand.

"We are obrolin later, yes, you should eat first. We're out yeah, you can walk by yourself or I'll carry" Andre teases Giselle and makes her blush in shame. They were enjoying the food at the table. Giselle tried to start the conversation, she started to catch her breath.

"I'm going to move to Singapore" Giselle said, immediately stopping Andre's hand movements still dancing on a white poselen plate.

"meaning? " Andre still tried to be relaxed even though Giselle's words were like a lightning bolt that had just struck her.

"I want to forget all the sadness and suffering I've been through" Giselle said.

"It's sad that I can't have Adrian's legs" Andre said in a mocking tone, as he felt angry and a little annoyed Giselle was still thinking about her brother.

"Not because of that. But my heart has been owned by someone else, unfortunately it is not for me" said Giselle.

"Well, you said it wasn't because of Adrian's brother. In fact, you say that, if not my brother who else? "andre said cynically from feeling too upset.

"We go home, I just came here to say goodbye to you Ndre".

"I hope you will be happy with the woman of your choice" Giselle ended their conversation and stood up leaving Andre still seated. Andre was confused by Giselle's words, the woman of his choice. What does it mean try? It took Andre several minutes to digest Giselle's words, then he smiled happily after understanding everything.

In the evening Andre was dressed so neatly, he invited Giselle to watch the application process that would be done at the cafe last afternoon they visited. At first Giselle refused to join but after being persuaded by Andre by begging, Giselle finally agreed. No one commented on Giselle with Andre, because everyone knew about Giselle coming here. Especially Adrian who felt very sorry for Giselle keoada, the cute and innocent girl he always made to cry turned out to be living in sadness.

Andre and Giselle told the whole family, and went to the cafe this afternoon. During the trip there was no conversation between the two of them. The two looked awkward towards each other, especially Andre who felt sorry for making a mistake for hurting Giselle. Arriving at the cafe, Andre opened the car door and held Giselle's hand while walking into the cafe. So sweet of Andre's treatment of Giselle made her feel a little happy. She hoped that this happy feeling would be her forever.
