"Sera?" said Dafi slowly, then glanced at Damar's hand holding Sera's hand.
Everyone was shocked because it turned out that Dafi already knew Sera. While Sera herself could only fall silent with a tense face.
Lusi then looked at Sera and the granddaughter alternately, "You guys already know each other?"
"He is ...."
"Hem, we-we've had one school, Ma," Sera cut off quickly before Dafi finished speaking.
Dafi was astonished to hear Sera's reply, she did not expect Sera to only consider her a schoolmate instead of an ex-lover.
"So you're schoolmates?" Luci.
"Well, what a coincidence," Erick interjected.
Dafi was still looking at Sera who was standing right in front of him, she was still very shocked and disappointed by all this. While Sera was unwilling to look at her ex, she turned her eyes the other way.
"Dafi, now Sera is your papa's wife." Lusi asserted, even though no one asked.
Like there are thousands of daggers who plunge into Dafi's heart, wounded and sick for mercy. Indeed, he never expected to get the reality if the former lover he still loved was now married to the father. Anger and unwillingness instantly engulfed his disappointed feelings.
Not wanting to hold back his anger and jealousy any longer, Dafi moved on and decided to leave, carrying immense pain and disappointment, the more he regretted hurting and letting Sera go.
"Where are you going, baby?" lusi asked panicked and anxious.
"Dafi! Wait!" call Damar.
Despite hearing Papa and Omanya's screams, Dafi did not care, but he still stepped away from the restaurant.
While Sera just silently stared at Dafi's departure, her feelings raged. He knew Dafi must be very angry and have some thoughts about him.
"I'll take care of him." Damar wanted to pursue Dafi, but Erick forbade him.
"It doesn't work! Let him calm down first, he will be able to accept everything for a long time."
Damar also undoes his intention to pursue the son.
"Sorry, yes, Sera? Maybe Dafi was angry because her father remarried, let alone married her to his own schoolmate," said Lusi, he felt bad for Sera because of Dafi's attitude.
"It's okay, Ma," Sera replied with a sad face, she knew the reason Dafi was behaving that way.
"Did you know that Damar was Dafi's father?" Erick looked suspiciously.
Sera shook her head, "No, Pa. I just found out about this, too."
"Pa, that Dafi hates me so much, she won't tell her friends about me. So how could Sera possibly know who Dafi's father was," Damar continued with a sad look.
"Yes, too," Luci replied, then sighed, "when will he continue to be so stubborn?"
"Come, Ma."
"You're patient, someday he'll realize you're a good father." Erick.
Damar just nodded.
Sera was concerned about the relationship between father and son, indeed she admitted that Dafi never once told her about his father, even Dafi said if his father went nowhere. Dafi hated Damar so much that he thought his father was dead.
"Mama's plan for dinner together was a mess, even though Mama had worked hard to persuade Dafi to let her come along" Lusi said.
"Alright, Ma. How you gonna do it again? Maybe it's not time we can gather and eat with Dafi, now we eat the four first," added Erick.
"Mama is no longer tasteful, Pa," lusi lamented.
"Shit, Papa!" Lusi.
Finally they had a dinner of four, without Dafi present.
Meanwhile, Dafi was racing his motorcycle at high speed, he gripped the steering wheel very firmly. Regret filled his thoughts and feelings, mixed with anger and jealousy that increasingly rampant. He could not shake the shadow of Sera and Damar who joined hands so affectionately, his heart really did not accept.
"Why should Sera? Why should she, Pa?" dafi shouted with emotion, but his voice seemed to have just disappeared from the wind.
It was like a dream to hear the oma say that now that Sera was his father's wife, she obviously rejected that.
"I can't accept Papa getting married to Sera, I can't take it!" furious Dafi.

After dinner, Damar and his family returned home. On the way, Sera was unmoved, she was still trying to calm her heart. But he was puzzled as to why Dafi did not attempt to refute his confession earlier and preferred to leave? Was it because the young man was too shocked? Or too angry?
Damar noticed Sera's silent attitude, he felt a little anxious.
"Are you okay?" Damar ensured Sera's condition.
"Yes, Om. I'm fine."
Sera went back to silence, she turned her face and stared pus out the car window.
Damar occasionally glanced at Sera, he felt bad for the girl because of the incident at the restaurant earlier.
"Om sorry for Dafi's attitude" said Damar sungkan.
"It's okay, Om no need to apologize," said Sera without looking at Damar.
"Actually our relationship was not good before, so maybe that's one of the reasons he behaved like that. So Om hope you don't put it to heart, yeah!"
"Yes, Om," replied Sera, she already knew all that from Yuni.
"Oh yes, if Om may know, what is your relationship with Dafi at school?" ask Damar.
Sera gasped, her heart suddenly pounding and suddenly nervous, "Well, Om."
"You're close friends?"
Sera shook her head in doubt, "Hem, no, Om."
"Is he naughty at school?" asked Damar again, he was a little curious about Dafi's behavior at school.
"No, he's kind and polite, he's also a smart student and quite popular in school. Although sometimes his attitude is cold to some people he does not like," said Sera while remembering her former lover.
Damar was confused, he felt that there was something strange about Sera's answer.
"Say you are not close, but you seem to know Dafi well" Damar said.
Sera was silent, she realized she had been carried away and forgot herself when telling about the former.
"Hem, i-that's what I heard from my friends, Om," Sera grew nervous.
"Oh."
The two of them went back to silence with their own thoughts, there was no more talk between them.
