Carissa waved her hand to Devian then shook the hands of Papa Cakra and Father Adhitama and kissed the backs of her hands alternately. Carissa entered the plane and took off.
Adhitama and Cakra pat Devian on the shoulder together who saw Devian's grief.
"Just 2 months, Dev." said Adhitama.
Devian sighed.
"From tomorrow the position of CEO has returned to you" said Adhitama who made Devian aware of the incident a few days ago.
"Is this also part of Carissa's plan, Dad?" tanya Devian made sure.
Adhitama nodded then smiled faintly.
"Devian is ashamed of Carissa, Dad. She is a very independent woman. He doesn't even care if he's been an OG. While Devian can only continue the efforts of parents." said Devian.
Cakra patted Devian's shoulder gently.
"Son Devian, you're also very good with your young age at leading your father's great company. If only Carissa would continue Om's efforts, surely Om has rested at the age of twilight like this." said Cakra.
Adhitama who heard that also patted Cakra's shoulder.
"Let our children decide their own course" Adhitama comforted Cakra.
Cakra breathed. Cakra felt his age was very old to see his daughter who is now very independent. Cakra remembers Carissa, teaching Carissa to talk, and Carissa to walk. Time has passed so fast.
"I feel it's time to quickly pet the grandchild." said Cakra just like that.
Adhitama chuckles at the words of his best friend.
"It turns out we're old now." said Adhitama.
"Let's go home" said Cakra.
The three men left the airport and went home.
The Devian residence.
Devian went straight to his room and did not even say hello to Mother Tamara who was sitting in the living room soffa.
"Why our son, Dad?" ask Mother Tamara to her husband who just entered the house.
Adhitama sighed.
"That's how the young man left his lover." replied Adhitama who sat in the living room soffa.
"I mean Dad?" ask Tamara curiously.
"Carissa continued her studies to New York, Bun." replied Adhitama who attached her back to the soffa backrest.
"really? Good for Carissa's future" Tamara said.
"So Dad met Cakra and explained everything to Devian" said Adhitama who made Tamara jerked.
"Well, we have promised our candidates to follow Carissa's plan until it's finished." muttered Tamara.
Adhitama chuckled softly.
"After all we as men can't stand that charade. We don't want any misunderstanding between the two young people who are in love. Carissa doesn't mind anyway." replied Adhitama.
"Hm.. Yasudahlah. Devian's not mad?" tanya Tamara assured.
"How could the boy be angry before Carissa? There he becomes a very possessive man" replied Adhitama by shaking his head given Devian's attitude towards Carissa at the airport.
Tamara chuckled at Adhitama's reply.
"Persis is like a father when you're young, right?" tamara reminded Adhitama when she was young.
Adhitama chuckled, he confirmed Tamara's words. Devian was very similar to her when she was young.

At a restaurant in the afternoon.
Alex and Aninda were eating.
"What's the matter, honey? Any issues?" ask Alex who found Aninda not as cheerful as usual.
Aninda shook her head.
"Tell me who knows who can reduce your burden" said Alex who clasped Aninda's hand.
Aninda sighed and thought for a moment. He has promised not to tell Carissa's secret to anyone, including Alex.
"I just miss Rissa." replied Aninda who returned her hand to Alex.
Alex took a breath.
"I think there's a very complicated matter going on with you. It turns out that my future wife is missing her best friend" Alex chuckles.
UHUK!
Aninda chokes, Alex hastily gives Aninda a bottle of mineral water.
"Why you, honey? eat slowly" said Alex, who patted Aninda on the back.
"What did you say?" ask Aninda to make sure.
"Which part?" ask Alex.
"That was the last thing you said." replied Aninda.
"Missing his best friend?" alex said to Aninda.
"No, that was before that" said Aninda looking at Alex expectantly.
Alex tried to remember it, then sighed.
"My wife's candidate?" asked Alex who found Aninda's face immediately met red.
Alex smiled at Aninda who hid her face in embarrassment.
"So you want to hear it again? My future wife?" seductive Alex whispered in Aninda's ear, as soon as Aninda's body brushed.
Aninda is getting all wrong. Alex who saw that laughed a little.
"Don't tease me!" grouse Aninda upset.
Alex is still chuckling.
"So how do we get married?" ask Alex to Aninda.
Aninda gasped at Alex's question.
"Me-married?" tanya Aninda made sure that she did not hear wrong.
Alex nodded his head.
"Aren't they fast?" aninda answered Alex's head.
"What else are we waiting for? Both of our parents have blessed our relationship." replied Alex staring softly at Aninda.
"You sure?" ask Aninda.
"You mean?" alex asked with a frown and looked at Aninda curiously.
Aninda breathed a moment.
"Well, are you sure I'm the woman you deserve to be a wife to? Our relationship is only about the same time as corn. You don't know my character yet, and vice versa. I was scared in the middle of the trip, I let you down and you're sorry." Aninda said with a sad face.
Aninda was afraid that the move Alex took was too fast. Aninda was afraid Alex would regret having chosen her. Aninda hesitates to herself seeing Alex who is handsome, intelligent, rich, the perfect man in the eyes of women. Aninda felt less worthy to be with Alex.
Alex has doubts on Aninda's face. Alex immediately shifted his body to sit next to Aninda without any distance. Alex grabs Aninda's head and rests her on the chest of her field.
"What do you doubt, my dear?" alex asked, but Aninda answered him with a whim.
"Don't cry" said Alex who lifted Aninda's head and wiped the tears in Aninda's eye with his thumb.
Aninda grew sobbing that she buried her face in Alex's chest.
Alex returned Aninda's embrace and gently stroked Aninda's curls.
"Now I'm asking you, Nin. Answer honestly." said Alex who elaborated his hug and looked at Aninda.
Aninda stopped her crying. Then I looked at Alex's face. Two pairs of eyes met each other.
"Do you not want to marry me?" ask Alex.
Aninda quickly shook her head.
"Then what do you doubt? I think we've had enough time to get to know each other. Even if in the middle of the journey there is your behavior that makes me disappointed, are we not only human? I'm the same as you, I could have let you down too." Alex said, wiping off the remaining water on Aninda's cheek.
Aninda looked at Alex gently, then sighed.
"Alright" said Aninda who immediately made Alex gaping.
"What did you say?" ask Alex to make sure.
"Alright, I agree." Aninda blushed.
"You agreed to marry me?" alex asked again, holding onto Aninda's shoulders and looking at her face.
Aninda lowered her face. He's so embarrassed. Then nod his head. Alex hugged Aninda tightly.
"I can't wait for our happy day. Next week my parents and I will come to propose to you" Alex said.
"So fast?" ask Aninda.
"Faster is better, right?" alex said, answered with Aninda's breath.
"It's up to you." replied Aninda resignedly who was greeted with a small laughter Alex.

26 Hours in the air, Carissa finally reached New York. Carissa immediately exited the airport and headed for the homestay she had once lived in. It is very strategic. Close to the airport, not far from the university where Carissa continued her studies.
5 Minutes away, Carissa arrived at the homestay. Carissa dragged a large suitcase of hers into her room. Carissa immediately headed for the bathroom, she took a warm bath to remove the remnants of jet lag that she felt. 10 minutes later Carissa had gone out of the bathroom and changed clothes. Carissa turned on the warmers, because it is currently in New York winter.
Carissa activated her phone.
"There must be a morning" Carissa said, typing a message and sending it to someone.
Carissa: I arrived at the homestay.
Drt
Drt
Carissa's phone shook, Carissa immediately picked it up.
"Hallo, Dev.." said Carissa.
"How was your trip? Is exhausting?" devian's typical baritone voice sounded.
Carissa breathed a rough breath.
"Yes that's it. I'm so tired." replied Carissa who had laid down her body on her bed.
"Can I have a video call? I miss you." asked Devian for Carissa's approval.
"All right." answered Carissa.
As fast as lightning the voice call had turned into a video call.
GLEGS!
Devian gulped his saliva when he found Carissa's face on his phone screen. Carissa's wet hair, and sleeveless sleeping dress with a V Neck neck cut that almost exposed Carissa's cleavage.
"You're teasing me on purpose?" said Devian grumbling.
Carissa came to her senses and looked at herself on her phone screen, she realized something.
"Basic bawdy!" carissa said upset, she immediately took a pillow and covered the front of her body. Carissa chose to lie on her stomach.
Devian chuckles at Carissa's curse.
"It's only been a day that I've missed you" said Devian who looked back at Carissa's beautiful face.
"Since when did the cold Devian become this kind of man?" carissa Mumbles.
"Patience. Only 2 months. I will finish my studies soon. After that...."
"We're married!" sahut Devian before Carissa finished speaking.
"You're! I can't wait to get married!" carissa's grumbling is upset.
Devian chuckles at Carissa's adorable face, eager to pinch Carissa's two cute cheeks.
"I haven't given you any punishment for lying to me" said Devian, who made Carissa look at Devian questioningly.
"Punishment?" ask Carissa.
"Yes! You must be punished for lying to me." replied Devian steadily.
"W-what?" ask Carissa nervously.
Devian smirked in satisfaction.
"Just relax, I'll charge you when you get back home. So hurry up and finish your studies there." replied Devian with a strange smile.
"Why do I feel like a bad feeling huh?" carissa Mumbles.
Devian chuckled then replied with Carissa's sharp gaze.
"Don't tease me!" carissa was upset.
Devian laughed even more at Carissa's annoyed expression.
"That's it. Just 2 months is enough for you to complete your studies. I can't take it anymore" said Devian, who found Carissa glaring at him.
"Dev.." whining Carissa.
"Yes only 2 months. If it's more than that, I'll take you forcibly and take you to KUA!" said Devian steady.
"If I don't agree?" ask Carissa.
"There is no rejection. That's punishment because you lied to me!" answer Devian.
"That's called coercion." Carissa grumbled to Devian's laughter.
Carissa was fascinated by Devian's increasingly charming face as she laughed. It seemed like he had not seen a happy expression on Devian's face for a long time.
"Dev." call Carissa soft.
Devian immediately stopped his laughter.
"Yes, Honey?" said Devian staring at Carissa's face full of longing.
"If I'm not the woman you've been betrothed to, will you also fight for me?" carissa asked suddenly made Devian pause for a moment and thought.
"Darling, I will definitely fight for you. Even I don't care if you're really an ART kid. But it seems like fate does want us to unite. Without me knowing the match between us, I already love you." Devian replied with a gentle smile.
Carissa looked at Devian's face on her phone screen.
"Thank you, Dev." said Carissa, with a warm smile from Devian.
"Well, wait 2 months! Don't be tempted by another girl!" carissa is full of emphasis.
Devian chuckled at Carissa's words.
"Yes, after that we will continue our relationship in a halal bond." said Devian steady.
Carissa replied with a nod and smiled sweetly at Devian.
