Mama and Papa Devano are waiting for the arrival of his son who had already left without telling him where he was going, at dinner time? Devano finally got to his mansion, where there was already the Mama and also her Papa who had been waiting since earlier in the living room.

''You remember coming home too?!'' mama Magdalene asked with her flat face.

''It's Ma, we better eat now. Papa is also very hungry, said Mr. Hutama trying to mediate between his wife and also his son, so that there is no quarrel in his house.

The two also followed the steps of Papa Hutama who did walk first to the dining table, where there sudsh teehidang cuisine that evocative, and, moreover, Devano had not had lunch this afternoon just because he took care of Mahalini's problems at his company.

''Where have you been all day,'' asked Mr. Hutama by continuing to feed his food into the mouth.

''Devan went to Mahalini Pa's house, ''' his reply was brief.

''But you go to a girl's house, don't be like you're the same girl!'' exclaimed Mama Magdalene who was afraid her son even did indecent things with women.

''Who is like Ma, Devan just chatting with Mahalini, there is also Bi Ijah kok, ''' replied Devano who did not accept such accusations by his mother.

''Ijah's aunt?'' mama Magdalene was surprised to hear the name again, after so many years she did not hear, but now Mama Magdalena can hear the name Bi Ijah.

''Bi Ijah now lives with Mahalini in a very simple house, Mr. Setiawan asked Bi Ijah to take care of Mahalini in that house,'' Devano explained to the mother who still did not believe too much in the words of her son.

''Mama still could not believe that Mahalini was staying together with Bi Ijah, '' Her words were firm and passed away just like that, after finishing her dinner.

''Yes if you don't believe it, Devano mah bodo is very!'' reply her who still eat food on the plate of his plate, because there is still half left.

''After this you meet Papa in Papa's office, ''' his word as he moved from his place and stepped away towards his workplace on the first floor.

''Come in,'' replied Mr. Hutama from within.

Yes, Devano hastened his meal so that the Papa is not too long if the possibility of his Papa will speak, because the problem was that the afternoon was just staying at his welcoming event.

''Papa wants you to be honest with Papa now, there is a relationship whether you are the same Mahalini, replied Mr. Hutama who directly with the essence of his question.

''I'm the same Mahalini no relationship what for now, but maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I can fall in love with a beautiful girl who I think is almost perfect,'' reply Devano by crossing his arms on his chest.

''From what perspective do you see that Mahalini is a girl who is almost perfect, as said earlier,'' Mr. Hutama is looking for the prince so that he can know that the prince is really in love and affection with one woman.

''Since Devano saw him on campus for the first time, and in the office as well, after that this afternoon Devano came to his house, Mahalini was teaching in her room with a voice so melodious, until the fur kuduk Vano goosebumps, ''' Devano's story to the Papa, whether his Papa likes it or not it's her business, he said, and Devano would not bother to think about it.

''Are you really with Mahalini Van?'' Lord Hutama asked once more to his son.

''Give Vano time to convince himself Vano Pa, so Vano will not regret later on after marriage later, ''' replied Devano who was embraced by Mr. Hutama.

Mr. Hutama also actually already likes Mahalini, with his meek attitude and he is also hardworking, it is all that Mr. Hutama likes to Mahalini. Hutama himself did not want to curb his son so that he sought a woman who was equal to him, because love did not look to property, the throne and the world.

''Well, think well of the decision you will make. Papa and Mama will not choose about your partner in the future, as long as he can respect Mama and also Papa. Moreover, he can be invited to live hard together when the company's difficulties occur, and not leave you alone when in trouble hit,'' mr. Hutama's message to Devano which was immediately justified by Devano himself.

''God willing Pa, just pray for the best for the future, '' Devano murmured with a smile to his Papa.

'Whether I really love you or just feel sorry, I can't come to a conclusion right now, Lini, but I'm sure that I'll have you for a long time, let the Lord unite us later, Devano murmured in his heart.

''Now you sleep, tomorrow there is still a lot of work'an you have to finish besides completing the Mahalini business,'' said Mr. Hutama half insinuated his son. Mr. Hutama knew very well that at this time his son was thinking about the woman named Mahalini.

''Who what the fuck sich, Devano returned to the room first,'' his saying and immediately went from his Papa presence so that he would no longer be ridiculed by Mr. Hutama.

Mr. Hutama's family never looked at the status of a person in terms of appearance and also his wealth. But Mr. Hutama is more married in terms of attitude and also adabnya to people older than him.

Tired Mr. Hutama immediately approached the wife who had not slept in her room.

''Mama hasn't slept?'' ask Mr. Hutama who has started to change his clothes with pajamas that have been prepared by Madam Magdalena.

''Not yet Pa, Mama still thought about the words of Devano earlier, who said that Bi Ijah lived with Mahalini, why he did not return to our family only Pa. Mama waited for Bi Ijah for a very long time, but she instead worked elsewhere, she replied in a sad tone.
