In the afternoon, Dean came home early, he was going to Milly's workplace. He's gonna pick up Milly.
Dean waited a long time, but he didn't see Milly among the many employees who came out. Not long after Dean saw Rara out of the office. Dean approached Rara.
"Sorry Mom, this is Milly's friend, right?"
"Yes, Mas. I'm a friend of Milly's. What's up, Mas?" Ask Rara.
"I want to ask Mommy. Milly's home or still inside, huh, Mommy?"
"Call Rara, Mas. Milly didn't come in today. He said it was still unhealthy. Milly did not tell me yes," said Rara.
"Mmmm .. maybe because of the pain so you don't have time to tell," replied Dean origin.
"Yes already, I mean Ra. Let me go straight to his house. Excuse me, Rara."
Dean was about to leave but Rara stopped him.
"Why?"
"Sorry Mas. Is this Milly's girlfriend or not? You see, I've never seen Milly close to men" asked Rara kepo.
Dean just smiled at Rara's words. One side he's happy, being the only one close to Milly.
"Yes is Mas. Don't need to be answered. Say hello to Milly, hopefully soon to heal."
"Okay .. later I say."
Dean headed straight for Milly's house. On the way he tried to call Milly. But nothing is lifted up. Questions were in Dean's mind.

"Assalamualaik."
Dean said his regards as he arrived at Milly's boarding gate.
"Waalaikum greetings" Milly said as she opened the door.
Milly was shocked to see Dean in front of her. Milly wanted to close the door again, but she still had an adab on the guests who came.
"Hi Mil, you're sick again huh. I was in your office. Your friend said you're sick."
"Yes" Milly replied.
"Now how things are, have taken medicine or not. Or we go to the hospital. Let you treat well."
"Sorry Dean. Seems like no need. If there's nothing important I want to rest first" said Milly, who made Dean feel a bit strange. Milly seemed to want to throw him away. But in a subtle way.
"Mmmm .. Yes I went home first. I just want to know how you are. Get well soon, Mil," said Dean.
Dean chose to leave because he saw Milly's face as unfriendly. Milly went in and closed the door. Dean was still standing there.
Instantly Dean's mind went awry. Why would Milly suddenly act like that to him. Is she upset because Dean revealed his love to her. Or because they suddenly have to go home while they have not finished eating.
Dean hit the steering wheel a couple of times. It feels now Dean can not think clearly to deal with the problems he is facing.

How else, his heart is sick. Just yesterday Dean expressed love for her and proposed to her, although not yet officially. Butwhat? This morning he got word that Dean was getting married to another woman.
Milly looked at Dean, turning several times towards his house. Before it was completely lost from sight.
Milly threw it on the floor where she was standing. He sat down while hugging his legs.
Her crying broke as well even though it was already held.
"Mister Milly, what's wrong with you?" said Wati worried. Milly forgets that Wati was in her mother's room.
Milly was still crying, and Wati tried to calm her down.
"What's wrong, Mommy? If you want, you can tell me. Although maybe I can't help, at least after telling a story can ease your mind."
Milly hugged Wati. He was indeed close to Wati, but all this time never told him about personal matters.
After being satisfied crying in Wati's arms, Milly took off her embrace. He tried to tell her what happened to Wati. He wanted to know what Wati thought.

This morning, Milly was among Adrian's men at his house. Just got Adrian's car away. Come in one more car, then park in front of Milly's boarding house.
"Hi Milly, how are you? Whereof? how come home in the morning," asked Vallen with a scornful face.
"Hi also Vallen, good news. How are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm very good news. Who was your boyfriend or who? How do you get home, early in the morning? Ask Vallen again. He seems to be very interested in that.
Milly just smiled, because there was no way she could be honest with Vallen.
"Mmm .. If you don't want to answer, that's okay. That's your privacy" Vallen said with a small laugh.
"Yes, come in first, let me make you a drink" Milly said. In fact, he felt less pleased by Vallen's presence and words. Want how else, want to be expelled is also not good.
"No, I just happened to pass by, I'm going to Dean's house. Uh, look at you getting out of the car, so I took the initiative to nyamperin you. Moreover, I know that you are a friend of Dean's, so I all want to share the happy news, that I'm the same Dean would be married."
Milly was shocked to hear Vallen's words. To make sure if he didn't hear wrong Milly asked Vallen again.
"Yes, you didn't hear me wrong. I'm the same Dean's getting married. As Dean's best friend, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear this news" Vallen assured Milly.
"Oh, that's it," Milly responded uninspiredly. His heart was broken to find the truth just now.
"Yes ..if you don't believe me, look at Santy's aunt's message" Vallen said, showing a message on his phone.
[Vallen darling, aunt has good news for you. Dean wants to marry you. Tomorrow morning you come here. Let's talk about it next. Can't wait for that day to come. Congratulations, dear.]
Milly seemed to have no more energy after reading the message. If only he had not clung to the wall, his body might have been shed on the terrace floor.
"Yes, I go first. It's not good to let the future husband and future-in-law wait for a long time. But I want to ask you for help, from now on, you don't get too close to Dean. You see, now that Dean has me as his future wife. Bye Mil," said Vallen as he passed.
Vallen left with a happy heart. He was satisfied to see the face of Milly who did not like the news he told. Vallen believes Milly must be heartbroken and won't want to see Dean again.
It felt like this morning the goddess Fortuna was siding with him. Not only did success surprise Milly. He also got something that would be beneficial to launch his intentions.
