Mila pacing back and forth to wait for her favorite son who until 7 pm has not returned home. It's not unusual for Saga to come home tonight, but since she got Rania's wedding invitation today, her feelings are not calm. Either Saga who is good at hiding problems, or he who lacks attention, until he does not know if Rania and Saga's relationship has run aground.
Still wet in his memory, last month Saga revealed her intention to propose to Rania, and of course she and Elgar strongly agreed. Rania has often been invited to play at home, and the woman, is the figure of her dream daughter-in-law.
Mila breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Saga's car entering the courtyard, at least her son was in good health now.
"Why just got home?" Mila asked as Saga kissed the back of her hand.
"There's a little business in Mah's office."
"Surely because of that, isn't it because of the others?"
"I mean Mama?"
"Come on in first. Papa and Lani are already waiting for dinner." Mila didn't want to talk about the invitation first.
The two then entered and headed straight for the dining table. There looks Elgar and Lani who have already eaten while chatting. Elgar and Lani, who were laughing at the moment, were immediately speechless at the arrival of Saga and Mila. Their eyes were on Saga. And for some reason, that look seemed to show a look of pity. That's what caught the Saga.
"What's this?" Ask Saga while pulling a chair next to Lani and then sit down.
"Bad brother is good, right?"
Everyone in this house knows about Rania's marriage. That's why they feel sad. Rania is already very close to the Saga family, even Mila already thinks of her as her own child. Lani, that girl is also very clop with Rania.
"What is sister, anyway?" Saga doesn't know what Lani means.
"Have, eat first, talk later." Mila took the food and put it in front of Saga. It feels a little strange, because all this time Saga always took her own food, but today, the treatment of her family like different.
They eat in silence. But Saga knew, if every once in a while, they glanced at him.
"What about the construction of the hotel, has it started to run?"
Huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk huk
Instantly Saga chokes. His papa question sounded like a very scary specter. Because in reality, the development has not gone at all. The one with the money disappeared digondol.
Lani who sat next to Saga reflex poured water and then thrust on her brother.
"Everything good?" Elgar felt Saga panic at his question just now.
"Ba, good Pah. Construction will be done soon."
"Actually papa is a little hesitant with your friend's company. During this time SE Corp only cooperates with companies that already have big names. But hopefully your best friend's startup doesn't disappoint."
Saga's tongue feels muddy, how can he say if he's been deceived. The papa will be angry, lost trust and disappointed.
"What's the name of the company, papa forgot? Let me see you there if there's time."
Saga's heart was pounding with cold sweat starting to pour out from his skin pore. If he mentioned the name of the company, his papa would immediately know if it was a fictitious company.
"Ar, Artamara group."
Elgar frowned at the name of the company.
"Why is his name the same as Mr Jeremi's company?"
"That's good, that's great. Papa knows what the Artamara group is like, it's a very big company. Papa's sure the hotel construction this time will go smoothly, papa's proud of you."
Proudly? That word made Saga feel ashamed. By saying if Jeremi's company will build, that means, inevitably, Saga must agree with the conditions proposed by Jeremi.

Saga stared at the business card he had in hand. There was no other choice, he had to call Jeremi immediately and say he agreed. Maybe this is the way of fate, Rania suddenly decided to marry someone else, and a father suddenly offered his daughter to marry.
Saga pressed Jeremi's phone number one by one on his phone. But a knock on the door, made him stop calling the man.
"Mama." Saga said when she saw her mother enter her room.
Mila walked over to Saga who was sitting on the bed with her head. He then sat down next to Saga and gave her the invitation he had received this afternoon.
Saga's hands shook accepting the invitation. Her chest ached seeing the names of Rania and Hanafi imprinted on the cover of the invitation.
"What really happened to Saga, why didn't you tell me you broke up with Rania?"
Saga throws a look in the other direction, takes a breath and then throws it away slowly. It hurts, but she can't cry in front of her mom.
"Well, can you leave Saga alone?"
Mila knows Saga is not okay right now. But forcing to stay here, is not the right choice either. Mila nodded, walked out of Saga's room and closed it back down.
Saga slowly opened the silver color invitation in her hand. With gold color ink, Rania's name is engraved beautifully there. And below it, the name Hanafi is written.
Next to Saga's hand heave a strong bed sheet when he found out who the figure of Hanafi. The invitation is clearly written if he is a child kyai owner of a boarding school that is quite famous. So this is why Rania prefers Hanafi over him?
Am I not worthy of you, Ran? Did these 6 years mean nothing to you?
Saga couldn't hold back her tears. The squeezing of the invitation then thrown in every direction with emotion.
Saga is not a whiny man, but the wounds that Rania incised were very painful.
A good woman, a good man, and vice versa.
That's what makes Saga always try to strengthen herself for Rania. But his efforts were in vain, he still could not get Rania.
Saga recalled Jeremi's words, if his daughter was rancid and unruly. Could it be that it was his soul mate?
Maybe I'm not a good man, and that's the kind of girl I'm going to be.
Finally Saga steadily called Jeremi, saying if he agreed with his offer last afternoon.
