Emma was like a beloved child in the living room, and everyone was so indulging her as if there were no women in the Pravitel family that Indra and Borya just shook their heads, not understanding the behavior of the women in the family."Emma, this year, you are no longer a schoolboy; how about you get engaged to Abyan?"Zeni had given the offer to make Emma could not immediately answer. Still, she had to answer because both Abyan's older sister and her mother looked at her with an attitude of waiting expectantly."Getting engaged is not the same as marriage?" asked Emma softly."Of course not, but it's still binding because you must be loyal to Abyan," Zeni replied."And what's the difference?" Emma asked back."The difference is that if you are engaged in intimacy, all you can do is hold hands, hug and the farthest is kissing, while if you are married, whatever you want to do is allowed, and there is no prohibition or punishment for everything you do," said Zeni explained.Beside he
Abyan took Emma away long enough for the rest of the family to speculate about what had happened to the young couple.Zeni looked at Sam and asked Emma about the possibility of becoming one of the designers at the Abyan company in Moscow."According to Papa, Can Emma accept it?" asked Zeni slowly."Accept what?" Sam laughed."A possible job offer was given to Abyan," Zeni replied again."Emma's a smart girl, and she also likes Russian traditions, so she likes it.""And what about Papa and Abyan himself? Does he deserve to be one of the designers owned by Almaznyy mir Pravitel?" asked Zeni."Why not? You've seen his work firsthand, so you don't have any doubts. Zeni, why are you so different today than usual.""I don't want Abyan to be disappointed again. He used to like Karla and was willing to do anything for her, but did you see what she did? I hate it so much, and I don't want Abyan to experience it again," Zeni replied."Did you see them both? Will Emma be able to deceive him that
Everything happened just like that and without a plan by the time the engagement ceremony between Emma and Abyan had already passed a week.Family Ardan Baehaqi's arrival of guests they had never expected before. She is Anne, a beautiful woman with an age different from Emma's.Anne came to Ardan's House and declared her rights to Abyan. He even threatened Emma, who had just returned from college.The rude attitude of some men who looked more like Anne's bodyguards approached Emma as if threatening her with intimidation, which neither Ardan nor Laila liked."Who are you guys?" asked Emma.He saw Ardan and Laila's faces red with anger, only because of the language barrier that made them seem angry alone."You, Emma? I want you to cut ties with Ben. He is a man I like, and we will get married shortly," Anne replied in Russian.Emma smiled. She didn't know who the stranger was talking about. One he knew, the woman in front of him, used a language that not everyone could understand."I do
Angry at the woman named Anne and worried about Emma's safety, Abyan could not think for a second.He had already listened to the contents of the recording given by Lailla and Emma, who understood the meaning. And he had to explain to Emma who Anne was to him. It was impossible for Abyan to say that he had no relationship, whereas Anne, in her explanation, was meticulous."So he's close to you too?" Emma asked after her parents left them.Abyan's lucky husband and wife, Ardan and Lailla, only ask him to act to guarantee Emma's safety. They put a lot of trust in Abyan, and Abyan has to prove that he is capable of more than just talking.Back Abyan looked at Emma and smiled before answering the question spoken in a different tone."Ever, but not in the true sense. I had amnesia, so I didn't know who he was. Besides, if my family finds out, the woman will be taken away immediately. Yegor, his parents have repeatedly tried to harm me," Abyan said."How do you think he knows about me," sai
Who is that woman, and why does she always follow wherever she goes?The question continued to haunt Emma, and she never got an answer to her liking because the woman who made her suspicious and wary always had reasons that kept her from approaching her.Emma only found out about the woman after she asked one of her seniors. Maudy is one of the Indo-European-faced female students who became one of the idols on the campus where Emma studied, and Emma didn't like her.Not because the woman is lovely and good at dressing up but because Emma often catches herself being noticed differently by her opposite-sex friends.Is Maudy jealous that Emma's peers are more attentive to her than to Maudy even though she has a different beauty?That afternoon Emma could not stand it because Maudy made her not calm, so Emma chose to report it to Abyan.Emma didn't care that she was considered timid and too childish because of a woman who paid attention to her but didn't Abyan ever tell her that every inc
The information received from Abyan, who Maudy is, makes Emma look differently at the Pravitel family.Previously he thought that his name bodyguard was a well-built man with a fierce look without a smile on his face. Still, after paying attention to Maudy, who thought a beautiful woman with a fantastic body had a profession as a bodyguard, Emma was sure that Maudy's friends who idolized her never knew who Maudy was.Without feeling the departure of Abyan, which he said was only a month, it had to be extended, and now they have been separated for almost five months.Abyan's departure is longer than the time he first mentioned, and Maudy's presence beside him does not mean Emma stopped reporting all her activities to Abyan. Emma still has this obligation only since last night she could not contact Abyan and did not get any information about Abyan's return.Emma has tried to think positively even though her father and mother have repeatedly teased her that Abyan has a new lover better t
The trip was finally over as well as the car driven by Maudy entered the HSP parking gate smoothly without any obstacles, as security officers usually do."Why didn't they do an inspection first?" asked Emma.A smile returned to Maudy's lips before she answered, and the answer seemed to say that Emma had asked the wrong question."Why is there no inspection? Of course, this car is already registered in Mr. Edgar's name."The car driven by Maudy did not stop in front of the lobby to drop Emma off but continued towards the particular parking lot of HSP officials."We're going down now," Maudy said as she turned off the engine.Emma noticed Maudy, who was now different in attitude. There was no longer the smile or flirtatious tone he used to speak to Emma. What happened now was a respectful and distanced attitude carried out by Maudy.And just like before, Emma forbade Maudy to keep her distance from her, but Maudy had a judgment and a stance that was not easy to turn.With Emma walking
Tania and Zeni had already entered the room previously entered by Karina cs, and also Baina and Emma stopped their steps.Hesitantly he looked at Abyan, who was waiting for him to continue his steps into the same room."Why?""I have to go in, right? Should I go to your office while you're here?" Emma asked, worried."We go in together. You know what the real purpose is?""No. What purpose does it serve?"Leaning against the wall, Abyan stared at Emma for a long time before beginning to explain the plans already made by his father, Samudera Edgar Pravitel."The point is, since you heard the approval from Papa Ardan, you think it's time for the world to know you. Not only as a jewelry designer but also as the son-in-law of the Pravitel family," Abyan replied."Daughter-in-law, I have not officially become the daughter-in-law of the Pravitel family," Emma denied."But you will become my wife, or do you reject reality?" whispered Abyan, grabbing Emma into his arms."I know. Then can we g
Ajeng was lucky to have been accepted for practical work at HSP without knowing that Maxim already had plans for him. Maxim is not going to let go of Ajeng because he is sure that the young lady is his suitable soul mate.Ajeng, by his estimates, does not care about him as one of the successors of HSP because Ajeng's only desire is to work with the chef he idolizes.Since Ajeng's meeting was in his kitchen, Maxim always took the opportunity to pay attention to Ajeng, so his actions attracted the attention of Abyan, who always did not manage to find him every time he stopped by Maxim's workroom."Is she so beautiful that you spend more time in the HSP kitchen?" Sam asked while they were having dinner at Sam Pravitel's House."Who is beautiful?" asked Eliza, who heard Sam's speech."Marvelous assistant," Sam replied."Since when does Marvelo have an assistant? I once met Marvelo, and he was a very arrogant man as if he was the most powerful in the HSP Kitchen," said Eliza, who did not n
Ajeng kept watching Maxim sitting behind his large table while arranging the results of his cooking on the table.The hope Ajeng sees is only an illusion, even though the results are authentic. In his heart, he was busy talking to himself.Why the man who collided with her in their current workspace? Is the man who thinks he is his mother's friend the man who is her boss?Ajeng's face suddenly clouded at the moment when the certainty was so clear after Marvelo told him all about it."I'm sorry I only brought it here after I kicked an uninterested person out of my kitchen looking for information that wasn't in its place," Marvelo said.Again, out of the way. This was the first time I heard an officer talk to his superiors."I did have someone ask about the presence of a girl who was not listed as a guest. You should know how Grandpa guarded the HSP against intruders, and we hope it won't happen again," Maxm replied, rejecting Salah."I understand. This is a letter of introduction from
Maksim continues to pay attention to women of different ages and a vast degree of carelessness."Is he Your Friend?" say hello to Maxim to older women.Rani's eyes gleamed with joy. How could a young man whose name he did not know ask such a question? Whether he meant to mock her or blame her."It's a shame he's not my friend because Ajeng is my son," Rani replied.'Huh?!'Ajeng's laughter sounded embarrassed when Ajeng saw the wide-eyed man in front of him."Don't tell me you're interested in my mom," he laughed shamelessly.Rani warns Ajeng that he should keep his attitude. However, Ajeng is even more unstoppable until Rani pushes him into the lobby, leaving Maxim still staring at them in disbelief."Tell Mama what time you get home," asked Rani when Ajeng was just a few steps away."Don't know yet. I'll let you know later. Bye, Mam."And the footsteps so fast that they were almost said to be running were made by Ajeng while Rani shouted to prevent her daughter from making unimporta
The kitchen of the HSP hotel is a territory that not just anyone can enter, but today, a girl who is the niece of one of the dessert chefs at HSP is already making the head chef look at her fiercely.Who has allowed the girl until she is free to create in an area where there should be no strangers who can seem to cook?Marvelo, the master chef at HSP, had to restrain himself so he would not yell at the young girl standing with her head down."Did you copy my cooking?" Marvelo asked sharply."Excuse me, Sir.""I don't need an apology; I only need a confession!"Standing with firm feet, Ajeng should not feel the Earth swaying, but that's what he thought when Marvelo increasingly cornered him.Like never before, Ajeng started to stand restless. He knew he had made a mistake, but his trial-and-error attitude made him unable to stand it. He is a student who gets to practice in the kitchen HSP work with the knowledge he learned."You know that not just anyone can cook in this place, let alo
How significant were Sam's hopes for his wonderful grandson? He did not distinguish his grandchildren, but in Maxim, he saw a firm attitude and a flamboyant nature that Abyan never showed.Where did he get so easily attracted to the opposite sex? Of course, Sam, who in his youth was famous as a man of seduction before he fell in love with Eliza, the Indonesian woman who was so adored by Yegor, who was famous for his evil nature and liked to take advantage.The past is like greeting Sam and why he can only see him now when Maxim says his wish. Maxim was so different and never showed his fearlessness at all."Grandfather ... happy birthday," Stefan's voice caught Sam's attention, and he looked at the young man who was older than Maxim."Thank you, dear. What do you want from Grandpa? Do you want to get married young, too?" Sam asked attentively."No. I want Grandpa to give me a place to work," Stefan replied softly.So far, only Maxim knows himself, who prefers sculpting from clay and h
Abyan's small family chose to stay at Ardan's House, and Maxim was a fortunate boy because he could find various new information.Maxim, who at first only got information through digital media, was very interested as soon as he could touch and see it live.Maxim, as if re-discovered the world of his free childhood, does not know fear every time he does something.A month after staying in Jakarta, that night, Abyan told Emma that Tania and their parents would come to Jakarta and go straight to the new House that Indra had prepared with a new environment.Different from before, the House that Indra bought for his family was a house that was not too big and was in a village environment. Indra, who had consulted with the doctor who treated Stefan, said that Stefan needed a new environment that he had never met before. The House in the village without a high guardrail was the environment chosen by Indra for his family."I hope you don't mind my choice of House," Indra said to Tania, who lo
The family car, which is in the first position as the most expensive car that billionaires in Indonesia can own, moves quickly with its smooth engine."Do you think you can answer his question if he asks about anything in Papa's House?" Abyan whispered to Emma."Then don't let Maxim see it," Emma retorted.No way. Maxim can't be a sweet child who is enough to be an observer, while there are already a lot of nannies who resign because they are embarrassed that they cannot always answer the questions given by Maksim.The car they were riding in had finally arrived. As Abyan suspected, Maxim saw the state of Ardan's House, typical of Betawi, making him look at the house and his mother with surprised and curious eyes."Mommy, why is the house different from the house I saw along the way?""Because this house is a traditional Betawi House. And houses are fascinating because not everyone has them," Emma replied."So, what privileges do you have?""A lot. And Mama can't answer that now. You
The hospital, originally a military hospital and the first modern hospital in Russia that has served millions of people since its foundation in 1706, has never been empty.So many people pass by to do treatment, and so many patients have to get surgery to reduce the source of the disease.Standing outside the operating room accompanied by the family, Tania had to stay afloat while her 3-year-old son Stefan was undergoing brain surgery. The consequences caused when he drowned were so severe that action had to be taken quickly."Have you heard from Indra?"The question was given by Tania to Abyan, who had just approached."Already, but the man who received the Hot Tin chose Mum," Abyan replied."Then?""For a while, his unit gave him leave to help you here," Abyan replied."What happened? Indra did nothing wrong, right?""Kak, besides being a law officer, Kak Indra is also a father. Naturally, he cannot restrain himself," Abyan replied.Tania was silent. He knew how Indra felt when he s
Just as it happened with Indra, Borya also received the same welcome when he came out."Answer, Papa, what's going on in there!""Borya, tell us why Emma, who was told to give birth normally, suddenly had an operation?" insisted Lailla.Borya tried to explain and kept calm while explaining why Emma had to give birth through surgery."Then how are things?""It has improved. The baby has already been born healthy, while Emma, who was previously unstable, is slowly progressing, so she does not need a special room," Borya replied."And when can we meet him?" asked Laila."We will wait for him in the treatment room," Borya replied."Well, he'd better get there soon so we can welcome Emma," Eliza asked.They rushed to the treatment room that Abyan had booked, but Sam and Ardan flinched from their seats. They are waiting for Borya to explain fully, with nothing to cover up."We're sitting there," Borya pointed to the two men before him.Unlike the explanation Borya gave earlier, he gave such
