“Then, I was afraid of myself, but now I am not. I'm more afraid that until the wrong person again” inner Athena looked at herself through the reflection of the mirror. He then passed out of the room to meet Arjuna and his family.

At this time the dinner, dining table is filled by Dad Alex, Mom Stefanni, Arjuna and Athena. In between meals, small talk was interspersed so that more intimacy between Arjuna's parents to Athena. They asked many questions about how Athena thought of their son Arjuna.

“Athena, the next few days Arjuna will be a CEO. Aunty wishes you always accompany and support her huh? Mom Stefanni looked at Athena's smile.

Hearing that Athena just smiled and nodded her head “Ya, I will always support her even though later I can not always accompany her.”

Arjuna who was eating, Langung stopped feeding food into his mouth. He glanced at Athena who was also looking at him with a sweet smile as if she did not feel guilty or strange with the words she had just uttered.

“Loh why say so, you should always accompany him. Aren't you getting married soon?” also asked Dad Alex was curious because of the words of the lover of his son.

“I have to go back to my place. I have also long left my duty” replied Athena while putting a piece of meat into her mouth.

Arjuna's chest grew increasingly thunderous hearing Athena's conversation with her parents. From earlier he was only a loyal listener but it seemed like this chatter really stifled Arjuna's chest, so very disturbing.

“But you'll be back again, won't you love coming here?” ask Mom Stefanni again.

Not immediately answering, Athena lowered the spoon and fork in her hand. He turned to take the glass that had been filled with water, Athena immediately took a half glass. He then put the glass on the table and turned to look at Mom Stefanni with a slightly bland smile.

“Hem, I'll be back but not anytime soon. Even so if I come back then there will be consequences that I have to pay.”

Hearing Athena's words just now, Mom Stefanni and Dad Alex immediately scrunched her forehead. Wanted to ask again and Arjuna had already cut off their speech first.

“I'm ready to eat” said Arjuna so cold and flat, even he immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Athena.

“After you're ready to eat. Meet me in the back garden. I want to talk to you about important things,” Arjuna said to Athena and without waiting for an answer from the beautiful woman, he immediately walked away from the dining table to the back garden.

After Arjuna's departure, Athena was still at home staring at the back of Arjuna who had slowly disappeared on the back door leaf.

Dad Alex and Mom Stefanni who seem to know that Arjuna and Athena's relationship is not okay choose silence and silence. Not asking Athena any more, they could see that the look on Athena's face turned mellow.

Shortly after that, Athena wanted to meet Arjuna in the back garden after his dinner was finished.

“Hem, I don't know either. Let them solve the problem we as parents have no right to interfere” concluded Dad Alex while wiping his mouth using tissue.

Hearing the words of the husband, Mom Stefanni already did not dare to ask again he prefers to spend his food solemnly.

Athena who walked slowly met Arjuna who was already sitting in the gazebo. It could be seen from behind that the tall and handsome man was gazing towards the sky that was being decorated by thousands of stars and a month.

Athena sat herself down next to Arjuna. The two people were both silently staring at the nanar above the sky.

“Say, are you going to keep going” Arjuna start the chat first. But the chatter went straight to the core without any opening first. His voice was even flat and cold, not even looking back at Athena when he asked, his eyes still staring at the sky which seemed to slowly start pitch-black.

“Hem.” The answer was so short, solid and so painful for Arjuna.

Arjuna's heart ached as if hit by a thousand stones that make the flesh named heart so sore and pain simultaneously.

Arjuna laughed bitterly at Athena's short answer, “It turns out that a goddess Athena, besides being stubborn you are also stubborn.”

“This is the best” reply Athena is still smiling gently even her hand outstretched stroking Arjuna's head slowly.

“Sound well Arjuna Rodriguez, my decision to help me was purely no requirement at all, I did really help. I followed you all the way here leaving the place I was supposed to be living in was actually a big mistake. There's no justification for that. For that, I have to accept the consequences of what I did” explained Athena gently but sound firmly into Arjuna's ears and heart.

Arjuna turned his head and looked at Athena with an unreadable look.

“What meeting me is also a mistake?” lirih Arjuna with a choked voice.

His mind was actually everywhere. She was afraid that Athena would leave her because she wanted to be with Ares.

“Remove your curiosity that. It's all not true” said Athena crossed her hands on her chest as if she knew what Arjuna was thinking.

“One of the things that gave birth to that suspicion was my inability to control myself over the fear of losing you” Arjuna replied.

Hearing Arjuna's words, Athena's originally cold heart slowly warmed and touched. As much as possible he carved a smile on his father's face.

“Our meeting was not a mistake. We are only found accidentally somewhere that is not familiar to both of us” replied Athena looking at Arjuna.

“But you promised Athena” jolted Arjuna with a high voice, he pulled his hair rough back as if he had been frustrated by the actions of this goddess.

“No I didn't promise that. Look Juna don't close your eyes not everything you want you got. Promise me you'll work hard from now on. Prove that you can” Athena told Arjuna.

“I will work hard and be an authoritative man but I beg you to stay beside me” I see Arjuna straight hold Athena's hand.

“Don't give me two options that both hurt me Juna” softly Athena looked at their two interlocked hands.
