" Where is Nala's brother, Bang El? " question Zeevanea to Marcello, it just so happened that the two of them were already sitting in the dining room.

" Kerenna was picked up by Aunt Bianca. " answered Marcello soberly, Zeevanea nodded, Eric indeed ordered his other children to call Auntie to Bianca.

Trap... Trap... Trap...

" Good morning. "greet Sea with an expanding smile when he had just joined the dining room, Sea walked first while Ara and Eric were seen walking behind Sea in warm arms.

" Morning. "reply both slowly, these three new people came immediately occupy their respective seats.

" Brother lead do'a. "the order of Eric firmly, Marcello immediately nodded then recited the do'a before eating and then they all started breakfast together.

The next morning before the whole family at Eric's house did their activities, they would all have breakfast together first. Zeevanea also had breakfast at Eric's house before he later had to go to the gallery to help his Mommy. After breakfast, they all immediately disperse the road to continue their respective activities.

" Ara same Cello anterin Mami to Daddy's house... Later Papi will return home from the office. "strictly Eric after seeing his children finished preparing.

" I'm the same as Papi deh Pi kanya. " said Marcello hanging.

" Why is that? " ask back Eric.

" I made a deal with Steve at his office because Steve asked me to nemenin he was meeting with the company from Makasar." answered Marcello as was.

" Yes Anterin Mami as well as your sister can be. " replied Eric, Marcello just kept quiet without daring to argue again.

" Phone Steve first told me to wait for you so you can be together. Tell Daddy too, tell him to sign Papi's resignation letter. "he continued explaining, Marcello nodded immediately, then after Marcello and Sea and Asmarandhana called Ara say goodbye to Eric and Zeevanea the three immediately rushed, so only Eric and Zeevanea left there, just there, Zeevanea was again feeling awkward because now he is only with Eric alone, Zeevanea felt guilty also because yesterday had ignored Eric's words.

Trap... Trap... Trap...

Bruum... The whuussszzzhh...

" I also went to the gallery first, Pi. ", Zeevanea told Eric.

" Sit down first, there is a Papi who wants to talk to you. "answer Eric slowly full of assertiveness, Zeevanea nodded slowly and then sat back in his place.

" Again, Papi said... Papi will not interfere with your relationship and Nicholas. "said Eric who directly to the point with the purpose of his talk, Zeevanea immediately listened silently.

" Papi just reminds you to be straight with your Daddy.

" The burden of thought that is currently being borne by your Daddy has been very much. "he continued by looking at Zeevanea, Zeevanea's eyes immediately glazed - glass.

" Stvano and Maura have not found a bright spot either. Your Daddy doesn't want to approve of Stevano and Maura's relationship not because your Daddy doesn't love them, but Teo, who can't be firm enough to make your Daddy still won't give consent to Stevano and Maura, "he continued, Eric seems to detail the problems that are lodged in Evan's mind.

" Then now Raynevandra's problem." continued Eric then immediately ignited his cigarette while exhaling smoke into the air accompanied by a sigh of heaviness.

" Ray what's up, Pi? " quired Zeevanea curious, he finally ventured to ask because previously also did not get an answer when asked Raynevandra, Eric immediately turned his head and looked at Zeevanea.

" You don't know about Raynevandra? " question back Eric, Zeevanea immediately shook her head.

" I just know Ray took off from the house and said sorry for all of us. But I also don't know for sure what it's all because of. And as soon as Ray came back home I asked him also he said the problem was too late. "clearly so it was.

" Alexandra was pregnant." replied Eric softly, Zeevanea immediately gawked, her eyes were originally glazed - the glass seemed to be fiddling for a moment.

" Raynevandra is going to be a father" Eric continued, explaining Raynevandra's case.

" And now." continued Eric hanging his words, pausing and meeting with Zeevanea.

" Just imagine now that your Daddy learned of your relationship with Nicholas from others." he continued to speak seriously to Zeevanea who was still staring because he was surprised by the news about Raynevandra.

" So Papi beg you very much... Papi, please hope your willingness to be frank with your Daddy before it's too late. Do not add more burden to his mind even though it is clear the impact of your honesty. At least your Daddy heard and knew for himself from your confession. "he continued, Zeevanea seemed to nod slowly and slowly.

" Your daddy's sick... Your dad had a mild heart attack after hearing about Alexandra's pregnancy. But your Daddy kept the pain a secret from all of you, "he continued, explaining, Zeevanea's eyes re-glazed, glassy, he was very unexpected if seeing from the excitement of his Daddy figure turned out his Daddy was also suffering from heart disease.

" Papi know where? Papi why did you say you wanted to resign? " asked Zeevanea with an increasingly unfazed feeling, her tears seemed to drip suddenly - suddenly heard about the state of his Daddy.

" Ray knows... And only Ray in your family knows. Your Daddy refused to be admitted to the hospital. And Papi is also told by Ray because Ray is very worried about your Daddy. "he answers explaining but does not explain his reason for resigning because the topic of their conversation is the Evan family.

" Think well - well said Papi... Papi can't help you to persuade your Daddy and you must already know that, you also clearly know how your Daddy's temperament. But at least Papi has told you about the weight of the burden of the mind that is now being carried by your Daddy." said Eric again.

" Raynevandra the Bungsu who is very dear to him has disappointed him so deeply. Your Daddy feels like he failed to educate his beloved son. And now, you... Her only favorite daughter is also do you have the heart to lie to her even more deeply? Just imagine if later your Daddy found out about your relationship with Nicholas from someone else. It will certainly be even greater disappointment to you considering the dark history of the past is still on his mind until now. "he added firmly speaking at length trying to open Zeevanea's mind to think further, Zeevanea and Raynevandra are Evan's favorite children, although Evan also loves Stevano and Devandroe.

After this conversation was over, the two immediately rushed over. Eric immediately went to the office to finish his work before he completely resigned, and Zeevanea immediately went to the gallery. While contemplating still his relationship with Nicholas, finally this morning Zeevanea also found out about Raynevandra's case that had made him curious. And now Zeevanea also knows another truth about his Daddy's health condition.
