"Do you like Amanda?"
Netra Ardan, growing up perfectly, stared in shock at Rio.
"Where do you think that? I don't like it at all." denied Ardan, without returning Rio's gaze.
Rio looked at Ardan intensely, doubting Ardan's remark.
"Hey, don't look at me like that! you want, if you get out of here, you don't have any more eyes?" Ardan glared, towards Rio. However, it did not seem as though it was frightened at Rio. He instead chuckles, feeling funny with Ardan trying to cover up his nervousness with 'angry' and for Rio, Ardan's way doesn't work at all.
"Why do you cry, huh?!" snapped Ardan, not happy, because he felt that Rio was now mocking him.
"Haha! don't be so angry, man! I see from your eyes that you are lying. Actually without you knowing, Amanda has managed to steal your heart. He had already successfully melted the iceberg, which had been frozen for 35 years. Because even though you used to have a boyfriend, I never saw you being warm or caring, like you did Manda." Rio said, expressing his gaze.
"Sokay know you!" Ardan throttled, not accepted.
"Sob, please don't deny the feeling you feel. You always feel angry, and do not accept if there are men who approach Amanda, you panic and fear, when anything happens with Amanda. As long as he is in the hospital, you are always thinking about his health, you are always worried, he has eaten what has not. You even willingly, buy and deliver food to her, as busy as you are. Not that, indicating that indirectly, Amanda already has a special place in your heart?"
Ardan was stunned, flinching to hear Rio's words, which he had been unaware of all this time.
"Do I look that cute? did I really get to her? " Ardan invited his heart to speak, while scratching his non-itchy head.
"Mmm, you're wrong! I was so just out of humanity and felt 'empathy' with the calamity she got." Ardan is still trying to deny.
"Sad, this ice man, it's still a prestige to confess his feelings." Rio screeched while shaking his head.
"And, look, Adam posted that now he's in the hospital, encouraging and supporting Amanda. It seems like Adam is a strong candidate, so his papa is the twins." Rio chirped with focused eyes looking at his phone.
Ardan is furious and robs Rio's phone, to see Adam's post.
"Damn! you framed me?!" ardan, throw the phone on the couch. And Rio's laughter, instantly broke out seeing Ardan's exaggerated reaction.
"So you want to deny it again?" ledek Rio while rolling his eyes.
"You bastard!" Ardan threw his body on the sofa while exhaling with a single blow.
"It seems you're right, Yo. I don't know what charm Amanda has. She seemed to be different from the other women who were trying to get close to me. What is clear is that I always care about whatever it is, if it has to do with Manda. Is that what you call Yo's love?" Ardan asked without looking towards Rio.
"Yes! all the actions and reactions you've shown, all of them, show that you really love Amanda."
"But what if the woman shows up again?"
"I don't think that's possible. It's been over 6 years, Dan. Oh no! I want 7 years. I think now this woman is also married and forgot about the incident. So, now you better open your heart." Rio said, patting Ardan's shoulder gently.
"But, I was a little worried about the response of mama and papa. They love Amanda and her two children. But I doubt they'll be able to accept Amanda as a daughter-in-law. Mama and papa may not care, the woman, not as level or not, but now the situation is different. Amanda, a widow with two children. Do you think mommy can accept status, Amanda?" ardan's face looks riled up. Honestly, this was something that made her feel a dilemma.
" You don't think too far, and before you try. On your birthday, try to dare to say that you have found the woman you love, and frankly that woman, Amanda. I'm sure that Rudi and Aunt Amara are wise men. They attach more importance to their child's happiness than to popularity." said Rio at length.
Ardan was stunned, then he took a deep breath, then exhaled back into the air. Hope all the burden is wasted with the wasted air.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Bye, bye's sick! thank you for being with me all this time. Sorry I kicked you out. But take it easy, there are already many of your friends that I told you to leave. Next week, I'll also have your other friends, catch up with you. Let them accompany me this week" said Anin, on his former vomit. He considered the former vomit, was a disease that he managed to get out of his body. And he will always feel great, because of his success, driving away the disease.
Amanda tried to hold back her tears from seeping out. He showed a smile on his lips, so that his daughter was not sad.
"What, your great daughter is better?" ask Amanda, trying to be cheerful in front of Anin. As usual, Anin would nod her head, with her sweet smile.
Anin's beautiful hair is not even visible anymore. Anin's head was covered with a hat, shaped like a turban, so that the head of Anin who already did not have a hair item, not visible, as well as cooling his head. Similar to the former vomit, Anin also said 'greetings farewell' to her hair, which she assumed fell carrying with her disease away.
"Anin, why does Anin like butterflies and stars?" amanda asked with eyes rolling all over the room, looking at the wall that was already full of butterfly and star paintings.
"Because Anin is like a butterfly, Ma! To look beautiful, and admired by people, butterflies must struggle, from the ugly form of caterpillars, cocoons, then can become very beautiful butterflies. Ani is also the same, Anin is okay to look ugly no hair, thin, now, but, with Anin's struggle, Anin will be beautiful again, and admired by people. If the stars are shining. Both day and night. It's just that the light is not visible if it's day, but if the night star is very useful to beautify the night sky, even the moon will not be perfect without stars. So, Anin wanted to be like a star, which could keep shining." Anin explained, which made Amanda lift her face up, holding back her tears from coming out.
"Smart kid!" Amanda gently stroked Anin's head. Then he stood with a carrying, the container where Anin's vomit had been.
"Nin, mama dumped the disease first!" Amanda walked into the bathroom. Amanda paused her steps, when she heard the voice of Anin calling her.
"Ma, don't cry in there huh!" no bored Anin, reminding Amanda not to cry.
"No will! look at my mom smiling!" Amanda showed her smiling lips.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
At the Bagaskara family-owned hotel, Jasmine is seen again arguing with the receptionist. Moreover, the problem is if not, Jasmine who asked for the room occupant data mentioned by Amanda 7 years ago.
"What's this a fuss?!" the voice of a man, whom Jasmine was very familiar with sounded suddenly so as to make Jasmine, cover her face while biting her lips.
"This, Mr. Rio, this lady wants to know the data of the occupants of room 307, 7 years ago. But that room is the room, sir __"
"Wait a minute!" Rio raised his hand and approached Jasmine, with eyes that were squeaking suspiciously.
"Jasmine? why are you here? and why do you want to know who the occupants of that room are?" rio's voice sounded resolute and his aura was extremely cold.
Jasmine who had already been caught off guard, finally, turned her head towards Rio and displayed her neatly lined white teeth.
"We've repeatedly, refused to tell this lady. But, Miss is always pushy." reported the receptionist staring cynically at Jasmine.
"He's my wife!" Rio glanced sharply at the resstionist.
"Sorry, we don't know, sir!" The receptionist apologized.
Rio raised his hand, a sign that it was okay. Then his gaze turned back to Jasmine. "Jasmine, is there something you're hiding?"
Jasmine gulped her saliva, feeling the cold aura that her husband was showing.
"Now you come with me, and explain everything!"
