"Why did you keep it?" ask Vale to investigate.
"I told you Vale, it's all just documentation. No other meaning. About the video, it's just a copy of the CCTV footage that I accidentally copied the file. And if it's about that photo. Honestly, I did take it. I'm proud to see your success Valerie. I am happy and proud of you. You've become a successful man now. That's it, no other means."
"Until now your feelings still make me big, Julian." Vale said as he looked at Julian's face with a question mark on his contract ex-husband.
"Why when we were married. You've always been gentle and sweet with me. You act like a husband who loves his wife very much. You know, Julian, your tender and sweet attitude was what made me fall in love with you. Even though I was trying to fight that feeling. But I can't." Arrest Vale.
"Indeed, I should behave how I was with you first. Rude, sadistic, cruel, it's not my nature Valerie." replied Julian gently.
"That's not the answer I want to know Mr." said Vale, who until now he did not understand the affection that Julian gave to him.
"By the way, I miss that name, Mr." Julian said with a smile.
"Come Mr. Julian Alexander, I'm serious. Your wife is suspecting me now. But you won but this is relaxed. I have doubts about your love. Who do you really love?" ask Vale curiously.
Julian then walked over to Valerie. While staring at Vale's face so intensely. Julian then grabs Vale's hand and Julian grabs it.
"I liked you from the beginning we met at that bar. There's sympathy I feel for you. What else after I find out the story of your life who lives a kara. My heart was amazed to see how your struggle survived. And you try to do your best for your life. You work, you go to college. Even so, you still have principles. Therefore, I choose you to take me to do a payment transaction."
"You mean, how do you like me?" ask Vale again still bigung. Then he let go of the hand that Julian was holding.
"I feel like I really care about you. I sincerely love you. Especially when you were pregnant with my child. I have a lot of empathy and I feel indebted to you. And the feeling of wanting to protect and keep you is so great I feel."
"So you love me."
"I don't admit it's love. It's pure I love you so much. Even now I still love you."
Vale then folded his hands and looked at Julian's face blankly.
"Your attention to me would be bad for your relationship with Jenna. When Jenna found out you were keeping that Vidio and my picture. It was something that hurt Jenna. If I'm in Jenna's position right now. I'll be angry with you too. He came to me and confronted me about this matter. I didn't blame Jenna when she asked. Because I have something to do with all of that. What I'm emphasizing here is. Please, no more relating your problems to yourself. I'm done with you and I don't have any special feelings for you. I also moved on. There's no sense whatsoever with you. I still respect you because you're the father of my son. I'm serious about this Julian." Vale said firmly.
"I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable" Julian said.
"Don't make your wife jealous of me. And don't take me back to your home life."

That night, Vale was in his bed. He sat cross-legged on the bed while doing his office work on a laptop.
When he is focusing on doing work tasks on the laptop. The ringing sound of the phone shifted Vale's focus.
Vale then grabbed his phone and picked up the call.
"Hello David." said Valerie to her best friend.
"Hi, Vale night. I'm in front of your house now. I want to take you to eat. I hope you want to come with me, to recommend a good roadside dining buddy" David said by phone.
"Is there no good food in your house, so you're out to eat outside?" ledek Vale's.
"I'm tired of the food menu at home. I actually didn't get home either. I just got home from the office. Since I crossed your house, so, I want to take you. They invite you to find a good place to eat. You like to eat on the road. That's why I want you to tell me where to eat your favorite roadside meal" David said.
Because David had arrived in front of his house and also because he was not happy to reject David's invitation. So Vale finally agreed to David's invitation.
By wearing casual clothes. Vale finally came out of his house to meet David who was waiting by the side of the road in front of his house.
As soon as Vale came to him. David was smiling and then he got out of his car.
"Hi." greet Vale first.
"Hi, you look beautiful Vale, in casual clothes." praise David.
"Keep your fight for your boyfriend." Valerie chimpanzee. Then he walked around David's car to sit in the front passenger seat.
David then opened the car door for Valeri.
After that, David drove his car to the compound.
"Okay, just walk straight ahead" Vale said, pointing his way at David.
David drives his car to a roadside dining area that Vale recommends.
After a while, they arrived. David drove his car a little far from the dining location Vale was referring to. Because the end of that time was also a lot.
So Vale and David had to walk to get to the place where they were going.
"What do you want to eat?" vale asked David, just after they reached Valerie's favorite dining spot.
"I'll order what you ordered!" david exclaimed with a smile on Vale.
"You come to me and keep me eating. But you want me to decide the food? You're a freak David." replied Vale with a faint smile.
"Well, you know Valerie, I actually like you. I don't want to rush to express my feelings. I will be patient and slow in approaching you. I know, right now maybe you're not ready to open your heart. I've been waiting for this a long time. I hope you get to know me even closer" David said in his heart.
"I ordered you spicy fried rice" Valerie said.
"What is Vale."
"I haven't eaten fried rice here in a long time."
Finally at the roadside tent eatery that Vale and David enjoyed their dinner.
Vale ordered two servings of spicy fried rice for her and for David.
At that time Vale ordered fried rice which was his favorite spicy exstra. As a result, when David was enjoying eating fried rice, sweat poured out of his forehead.
Vale who saw it spontaneously took a tissue and rubbed David's sweat that poured around his forehead.
And what Vale did to David turned out to make David dumbstruck.
"Thank you" said David. Shortly after Vale wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue.
Vale didn't know why he was doing that. It was spontaneously done.
David did the same. He took a tissue and was about to wipe Vale's sweat. But Vale held back David's hand movements.
"I can be David myself" said Vale, then he grabbed the tissue and rubbed his forehead sweating from the heat.
After that both David and Vale fell silent to each other. Focus on their food.
"Why do you prefer to eat on the side of the road You can eat well in your big house ?" asked Vale in between the sidelines they still enjoy eating fried rice.
"I'm tired of the food at home. That's why I brought you here to eat. Don't you like eating in places like this."
"Since Elenor lived with me, I have rarely eaten outside. I cook at home. After work I usually cook for our dinner."
"Elenor seems to have changed you a lot."
"He changed me in many ways. She's everything to me. Pregnant at 20, so mom at 21. Then we parted ways and met again after five years. She grew up well and had an incredible inner beauty. I have to thank Julian and Jenna for educating Elle so well."
"How's your ex-husband's wedding going?" ask David.
"I think they're happy. They love each other."
"Then what about you. Do you still have a taste for julian. As far as I know, you like it." asked David.
"That was then, now I've forgotten it. I also moved on. Julian's been my past."
"Then what about your future? Don't you want to open your heart to others."
"I haven't thought about it David. Right now I just want to be with Elle. And that makes me happy."
David then smiled faintly in response to Vale's statement.
