Early in the morning Nia had woken up to prepare breakfast for her children and husband.
Kello was in the kitchen helping her to serve the dishes on the table. While Arga was somehow where his son was.
It's been a week since the incident where Joni and everyone involved to gang up on Arga came. They agreed to make peace. That certainly makes Nia feel relieved because she does not have to intervene in finding information on the whereabouts of the naughty children.
"Morning, Honey. What did you make breakfast for?"
Nia turned her head and snorted as Bima suddenly came and hugged her from behind. Bima is like not aware that currently there is not only her but there is Kello and Bu Idah in the kitchen.
"Make breakfast the usual fried rice, Mas. Just sit there. Let me get you some coffee."
"okay." Before turning away, Bima had stolen a kiss on the lips of his wife. That certainly made Nia glare at her husband. "There's Kello" whispered Nia, glancing at her youngest son.
"He won't understand."
"If you forget, I remind you, Kello is now in the 10th grade of High School. He is not a child anymore" said Nia Ketus.
Bima did not say. The man shrugged his shoulders then stepped towards the dining table that was fused with the kitchen. The wide dining table is in the middle of the room and placed with a strategic place.
"Bang Arga is awake?" Bima looked at her youngest son who had already taken a sitting position.
Kello shook his head slowly and replied, "bang Arga's lecture is in the afternoon."
Bima nodded her head understanding. If Arga went to college in the afternoon, it was a sign that the firstborn would not bother to get up early.
Before long the dish was finally available on the table. The breakfast finally started with the three of them at the dinner table. Alea and Alana are still sleeping.
After breakfast, Bima immediately drove Kello to his school before he finally headed to the office where he sought sustenance.
When he arrived at his room, the door was knocked. Eren's figure entered after being invited by Bima.
"Sir, Mr. Dirman Diningrat contacted me this morning. He wants to see you at lunch."
"Diningrat's Word?" repeat Bima while frowning. Bima did not seem to recognize the name. "Who is that?"
"Pak Dirman Diningrat has the full name of Dirman Anwar Diningrat. He is a coal businessman. Had a wife named Diayu Ratnasari and they had no children."
"The couple got married about 20 years ago and have not had any children. They don't want to adopt a child because they think it's not their blood. While Mr. Dirman's family demanded that Mr. Dirman have children."
"Their total wealth-"
"Stop," between Bima raised her hand. "Contact him, I only have 30 minutes" said Bima.
Her ears were already too hot to hear the ramblings of her secretary. Though Bima only asked who Dirman Diningrat was. However, his secretary actually explained in detail the origin of Dirman.
"Good, Sir. That all?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sorry, then" said Eren.
After that, Eren stepped away leaving Bima who was stuck alone. Bima is trying to remember who the figure named Dirman Diningrat was. Bima felt unfamiliar to the figure, but also he felt like a stranger.
Not wanting to think about it, Bima finally chose to focus on her work. Instead of thinking about something he will know later.

Pranks!
Ningrum slammed the glass he was holding onto the floor. The old woman stared intently at her son who still looked calm eating his food.
"Well, when is this, Dirman? Mom wants to have a grandchild. All my sister and sister have even had great-grandchildren. Mom, none of you have."
The old woman named Ningrum looked at her son with hunting breath. His desire to have a grandchild from his only son, will never be granted. When he returned from abroad a few years ago, Dirman brought shocking news for him.
His son agreed to leave his beloved who had given birth and return to him. However, a few months later the son again gave shocking news that made Ningrum frustrated.
Dirman casually told me if he had an accident before his girlfriend gave birth. Dirman was treated for a month and finally returned to normal as usual. However, doctors sentenced the accident that occurred resulting in Dirman will not be able to give offspring to his partner.
At that time Dirman was frustrated. But her frustration was lost when she learned there was still hope in her lover's stomach.
Dirman, of course, treated his girlfriend very well. The man did not even hesitate to fight his mother when he found out that Ningrum already knew he was hiding his girlfriend abroad.
Unfortunately, the stubborn Ningrum finally decided to harm Dirman's girlfriend several times but ended up failing. Unable to bear if his lover was harmed by his mother, Dirman finally chose to give up. The man returned to Indonesia under the pretext of not wanting to lose his parents' property.
Dirman will avenge all his suffering and his girlfriend to his mother through the path of Dirman who can not have children anymore.
The beginning of Ningrum was happy that her son had returned to her. Ningrum did not know if the son was carrying a bomb in his body to make Ningrum fixated in disbelief.
Ningrum had even done several checks on Dirman's body, yet they had the same results. Dirman cannot have children.
"What's your mom getting mad for?" Dirman looked at his mother with raised eyebrows. "Isn't this what Mama wants? In the past, Hera came here to hold her accountable. But, mama kicked him out? Mama forgot?"
Ningrum was silent and stiff as he heard his son bring back the past. While sitting not far away from her there was Ratna and also Husein-husband Ningrum-eating quietly without caring about the commotion.
"When I took Hera overseas, Mama did all sorts of things to get rid of Hera and our baby."
Ningrum stared intently at his son. "Mama didn't know you couldn't have any more children, Dirman. If you knew, you wouldn't make you abandon the baby" Ningrum argued.
"That's a risk from your selfishness in the past" said Dirman cuek.
"Then take your son from the woman. Mama is sure she will definitely be willing to accept you," Ningrum chirped.
This idea was long ago proposed to his son. However, the son refused in shame if suddenly he had to take his son whom he never even cared for.
"Mom think taking that kid is like taking stuff? If you forget, his age is now estimated to be approximately 20 years. The age at which my son can think and make decisions." Dirman looked at his mother.
"That's great." Ningrum smirked in satisfaction. "You take the boy and put him in our family. I don't want to know, Dirman."
Without waiting for a response from her son, Ningrum then left the 3 people at the dining table with their thoughts on each other.

Flashbacks.
A slap delivered by a middle-aged man landed on the cheek of a young girl. Red marks and handprints stuck tightly to the girl's cheeks and made her stagger to the floor.
The girl with the tanktop and the half-thigh miniskirt held her cheek and looked up at the man who was her real father.
"Why did papa slap me? I'm just pregnant and it's not something to be raised!"
The girl tried to get up from her seat and stared fearlessly at her papa figure, Hari.
"Isn't there something to be raised?" Day looked at her daughter in horror. Both of his hands clenched on both sides of his body and wished he could make his daughter die within his grasp. But, Hari realized that he could not do it.
"You know what you're talking about, Hera? You're pregnant out of wedlock and who's gonna be responsible for this, huh?" yelled Day out of control.
Luckily he had no heart disease. If he had it, he would probably be dying by now.
"Pa, stop. This has all happened. We just have to ask Hera's lovers to take responsibility and get them married."
Hana who could not bear to see her beloved daughter hurt by her husband's treatment and harsh words, decided to break up.
Hera is their 18-year-old eldest daughter. Hera has an 11-year-old sister who is still in elementary school and another 16-year-old sister.
Hera is great by being pampered and all the mistakes she makes will be easily solved. Not only that, Hera was involved in a hit-and-run case when she was 17 years old and resulted in the death of two people. Of course, with the money her family had, Hana could cover up the case and bribe the old couple to give up the lives of their son and daughter-in-law so that Hera could not get punished.
A bullying case also occurred at Hera school during High School, which made two tenth-graders commit suicide by jumping from the classroom floor located on the third floor. The two girls were not strong enough to withstand the bullying that Hera did, causing them to choose to die because of mental stress.
Having a lot of money certainly makes them able to do anything, including buying the lives of people who went away in a terrible way due to Hera.
This time Hera was pregnant without having a husband. This made Hana think of a way for Hera's lover to take responsibility.
After making plans, Hera finally approached her lover named Dirman Anwar who is one of the children of officials in the city where they live.
Arriving at Dirman's house, instead of getting an enthusiastic reception from the Dirman family, Hera was expelled in a painful way. The 19-year-old girl was thrown from the gate and made her fall onto the asphalt. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries or anything that happened to her body.
A middle-aged woman came out of the gate and stood around her waist in front of Hera who was trying to stand up from her position.
"I am not ashamed. You think, who are you coming to hold my son accountable? You think I'm stupid don't understand the tricks you use to seduce my son, huh?"
The woman glared at Hera with a look of disdain. He would never allow his beloved son, Dirman, to have a relationship with a random woman like Hera. Moreover, the Hera family is not a family of political people. The Hera family were just ordinary entrepreneurs who relied on a few businesses. While they, in addition to being entrepreneurs, are also involved in political membership.
Dirman himself has been sent abroad to learn better and will not go home for years to come. Of course this made it easier for him to expel Hera from Dirman's life.
His son's future will still be bright and he will not allow anyone to ruin his son's future.
"But, Mom, I'm now pregnant with Dirman's child." The arrogant and despotic Hera did not dwell when faced with the middle-aged woman in front of her. His hands clenched on both sides stared at Dirman's biological mother, the man he loved and the father of his son.
"I know you're lying. Now, you leave my house or I won't hesitate to destroy your father's business, Yanto's Day!"
Hera came home feeling devastated. The girl told me what happened at Dirman's house. Knowing the background of Dirman's parents, makes Hana squeeze the brain how to solve the problem.
When Hana presented a solution to abort her content, Hera did not accept. Some friends died from abortion and she did not want to follow her friends to the afterlife. Instead of throwing the baby in the stomach, his friends died. This was certainly witnessed by Hera directly and traumatized her with the abortion case.
Hana had no choice but to go to her best friend and next door neighbor to marry her son to Hera. If Nurmi-her friends-disagree, then Hana will use her trump card to tame Nurmi. Evidently, only a little threatening from him, Nurmi agreed directly to the marriage of her eldest son with Hera who was pregnant with someone else's child.
Knowing if he would be married to his neighbor's eldest son named Bima Sanjaya, Hera's response certainly rejected the idea.
Bima Sanjaya is a cute guy who has no handsome appearance at all. Although his skin was pale white like his papa who was of Caucasian descent, still, Bima's face and appearance were far from attractive.
Hera looked at her mama annoyed at not being able to refute her mama's arrogance and her mother's edict.
"Why does Aunt Nurmi Langaung agree? Mama must be doing bad things, right?" he was accused of his mother at the time.
Hana smiled mysteriously. There was nothing he could not do. Threatening to use Nurmi's secrets these few years, making her seem more powerful than Nurmi herself. A secret that he himself knows where many years ago, he caught Nurmi pushing his mother-in-law aka Roy's mother from the second floor stairs to death on the spot. Not only that, Nurmi's affair with her husband's friend also became a US card to be able to make Nurmi force her to marry her son to her daughter.
Nurmi convinces her husband about the marriage between Bima and Hera. Nurmi also said that if she did not have the heart to see Hera several times would commit suicide because there was no man who would be responsible for her pregnancy.
Roy, who at that time was indebted because Hari helped him save a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, had no choice but to agree.
