"How, Andrija? You agree, right?"
"I'm sorry, because there won't be any matchmaking."
Chika's face changed in one blink of an eye, from the shining one now dimmed full of annoyance. Without glancing at her Papa, Chika robs the car keys on the table, leaving in a hurry. Carrying emotions due to failure in a match with Arlan, a man who is able to make him fall in love so deeply.
"ARGH! Goddamnit! Why is it so hard to be mine? Why is it so hard, Lan?!"
Chika darkened her eyes, the woman was driving her car like a man of infidelity. No matter if at any time, Chika could have hit people or even more tragic, it could have been her who hit the barrier, trees, and entered the abyss. Chika doesn't care! He only wanted to vent the emotions in his chest for failing to get a match.
Meanwhile, Acha with her distended stomach. Daydreaming on the balcony of the room, she wants to sleep before Arlan comes to see her in a neat dressing like he's coming to hang out with his friends. "Where are you going, Ar?"
"I was going to hang out for a while at headquarters, but look at you daydreaming, I don't have to go to headquarters."
"What's that?" Acha turned around, tidying up the leather jacket that Arlan was wearing. Touching the distinctive emblem of the Anteros gang on Arlan's right chest wearing it, "You want to go to Anteros' headquarters?"
"Yes, honey. To the main base,"
Acha shut up for a moment, "For tonight, can you please accompany me to sleep? I'm so sleepy, but his eyes won't shut."
Seeing that, Arlan was so unbearable. The man took off his jacket again, opened his shoes, and hugged Acha on the bed until the woman fell asleep.

"Friends all! With a heavy heart, I say, if the main chairman has not been able to come to the headquarters to get acquainted with all of us."
Simultaneously, they all exclaimed feeling unaccepted as well as sad for failing to meet their idol all this time. "Why, Bang? Is there an urgent problem until the chairman fails here?"
"Gue doesn't know, but there are things that the chairman can't stay so. Again, sorry!"
"Yes, relax, Bang!"

Every morning, the same routine comes back. Acha who was busy making breakfast with Arlan who coolly hugged him from behind, so attached as in the glue of rats. Acha meditating itself actually, has brought a stomach that makes it difficult to move, now added Arlan who makes his movement space thinner.
Instead of being sensitive and immediately retreating, Arlan instead circled his hands under Acha's stomach and raised Acha's stomach a little, at that moment, Acha seemed to be able to sigh with relief. The weight of his stomach immediately reduced, if this tau is very useful, Acha has long told Arlan like this.
"Enak, honey?" Acha nodded while leaning her head on Arlan's field chest.
"It turns out that being pregnant is this great, is it her struggle? You deserve to love Aunt Letizia,"
Recalling his mother, Arlan's face turned cloudy. He is self-aware, Arlan has long enough to avoid his mother just because she is still disappointed in the behavior of Mother to her woman. Now, Arlan is attacked with guilt. It is not appropriate for Arlan to silence his own Mother, Mother who has fought desperately only for her to be born into the world.
"You're going to Aunt Letizia?"
"Can?"
"When have I banned it?"
Arlan smiled, the man kissed Acha's forehead. Accompanying him for breakfast and chatting in the living room, Arlan leaves for the main mansion of Zeneouska. Arlan had missed her Mother so much, she wanted to apologize to her Mother for ignoring the phone call from her Mother.
Arriving at the mansion, Arlan immediately searched the mother to every corner. Until Arlan saw her Mother who was standing in front of a picture of her, a photo of her as a child who was deliberately on a large display in the family room. Arlan wanted to get closer, but Mother's words, made Arlan fixated with a sad highlight.
"Unfortunately Mother, Mother is very much the same Adek. Happy without Mother? Adek happy without Mother feeding bribe? Adek happy without Mother reading a fairy tale before going to bed? Happy Grandpa away from Mother huh? If so, Mother pray that Adek is always in the protection of God. Amen,"
Letizia's hand lifted, rubbing the photo figura reached by her hand. "The bad mother is the same Adek? Until Adek away from Mother, Mother is sad, Dek. Mother who is always the same Adek even from Adek in the womb of Mother, now Adek is an adult, it is time away from Mother."
"Sir," Arlan's eyes glazed over, the man hugged his mother from behind and cried sobbing. "Sorry, Adek. Adek is wrong, Adek is wrong, I'm sorry Adek, Nda."
Getting an unexpected hug from her beloved son, Letizia's tears came down her cheeks. The middle-aged woman turned around, hugged the boy she was carrying for 9 months and she took care of him as best she could until this big. "Miskey, the wrong Mother because it is too selfish. Forgive Mother, Deck?"
"Mother," Arlan continued to cry while hugging her Mother.
For so long Arlan had not embraced her Mother like this, behaving childishly and only her Mother was able to accept happily without reproaching anything. Arlan was wrong to stay away from the Mother and Mother was also wrong because she had judged Acha. Both are equally wrong and without ego, both apologize and forgive each other.
In his eyes the two who were shedding longing along with crying, made the smile on his old face engraved. Mr. Robin rubbed his chest with one hand while the other was in a wheelchair. This scene is what Mr. Robin always makes reference to survival although more dominant sense of wanting to quickly follow the late wife, Mrs Anneliese.
Letizia is not her biological child, but Letizia is her best daughter-in-law who without everyone knowing, Mr. Robin always prioritizes Letizia secretly. Since it was Letizia who gave birth to the best grandson for him, Mr. Robin would not easily forget. But sometimes, the ego that made him have to act rashly just to threaten his increasingly mature grandson grew increasingly stubborn.
For Mr. Robin, Arlan is too young to know love more deeply. He did not want Arlan's concentration to be focused only on women, because Mr. Robin had prepared Arlan for him to be the sole successor of Zeneouska. Arlan, is the sole heir of her future self, not Andrija who is clearly Mr. Robin's biological son, Arlan's father.
"Anne, your mischievous granddaughter has dared to sow seeds recklessly. The woman is now pregnant, what should I do? I want to let them, but the company has to make your mischievous grandchildren a priority, not the woman."
