A message came to Dio's cell phone relaxing in his apartment.
"boss, the parents of the great lord and the non Sherly meet the non Astri at the cafe in front of the bookstore"
Johans
"Sial" said Dio without replying to Johan's message
Dio called Hari repeatedly but there was no answer whatsoever and it made Dio very frustrated. Dio rushed to his car parked in the basement of the apartment to get to the location Astri was in.
Dio contacted Johan for any eventuality that would occur.
Drrt Drrt Drrt
"be prepared if something bad happens" Dio said and hung up without waiting for a reply from Johan.
Elsewhere Day was with Sherly's mom. Somehow Hari felt that Sherly's mother was holding her back from leaving Sherly's house.
And with various reasons make Hari can not check his cellphone which from earlier felt the vibration.
At a cafe sit Astri with both Hari and Sherly's parents.
a few hours before that.
Somehow this evening Astri wanted to go to the bookstore, and because he did not want to bother Hari so Astri decided to go to the bookstore himself without telling Hari.
As Astri was busy picking and looking through the novels lined up neatly on his shelf, someone called from behind.
"Astri" said Sherly.
"yes" answered Astri.
"can we talk for a second?" pinta Sheryl.
"may" Astri replied.
Then they both walked to the cafe across from Astri's subscription bookstore.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the cafe Astri felt confused because the atmosphere of the cafe was not as usual.
There are many people who seem to be guard around the cafe that looks like a bodyguard with matching clothes, the cafe is open but written closed. It was as if this cafe had been rented out completely.
Astri keeps walking behind Sherly to follow her into the cafe.
Sherly invites Astri to sit down. When Astri was just sitting for three seconds came two people who looked charismatic, authoritative, firm and like not friendly with Astri.
A middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful with very graceful and expensive clothes is clearly visible and a middle-aged man who looks dashing at her age who is fairly mature, neat hair and eyes that are very similar to Hari's.
Somehow his feelings said something bad would happen.
in his heart he said "whether this old man's Day the eye belongs to the day, the shape of the face also belongs to the Day" .
Astri got up from his seat and stood up to greet the two old men standing before him.
Astri lowered his head to salute and greet them.
"sit down" Papi Hari said.
Without answering Astri immediately sat down because of the tension that controlled his body.
Unbeknownst to Astri, Johan keeps an eye on her from a place where no one knows that she is Astri's bodyguard.
Dio drove his car very fast and it did not take long for him to reach the cafe parking lot.
Dio circulated his gaze to look at the situation and conditions there. Dio tried to get into the cafe but could not because the escort is quite tight.
Dio shouted in frustration because Hari was still difficult to contact, but seconds later Dio breathed a sigh of relief from seeing Johan disguised as a servant there and it made his position close to Astri which meant that he could protect Astri at any time.
Inside Cafe Astri felt cold sweat and shortness of breath with a very uncomfortable atmosphere according to him.
"are you Astri?" ask Papi Hari
"yes sir" Astri replied
"introduce me Beneficent Papi Today and this is my Wife Lucy mami Hari" explained Papi Hari.
"yes sir" Astri replied.
"i'm going straight to the main topic, leave Hari" said Papi Hari.
Astri just kept silent and lowered his head as if there were no words he could get out.
"until whenever you will not deserve to be my child's spouse, our social status is very different as you are the earth and Day is the sky. I've chosen a future wife for the Day that fits the criteria of the philanthropic family, namely Sherly, the beautiful and graceful girl next to you. I hope you understand so I don't have to use rude ways to get you guys to split up. And you definitely want to see your mother stay healthy and happy right Astri?!" papi Hari is full of emphasis.
Astri remained speechless.
He bit his tongue so his tears wouldn't come out.
Astri was well aware of the threat of sweet words, especially when his mother called it made the alarm in his brain work.
Johan continued to listen carefully while cleaning the table which was actually very clean.
Dio kept pacing in front of his car parked in front of the cafe.
Inside Cafe Sherly smiles triumphantly as Hari's parents are on his side.
"that's all right, Astri, I'm sure you're a smart girl" Papi Hari said
Her mother Hari just Silence without wanting to get into the conversation, she continued to stare at Astri sharply and as if she was insulting Astri with her gaze.
"we go first" said Papi Hari, standing and followed by Hari and Sherly.
Astri stood up and nodded in understanding of Hari's parents' words just now.
Mr and Mrs Dermawan left the cafe with Sherly.
Astri sat in his original place, still holding back his cries from coming out, he thought back to every word that his papa had spoken.
From outside Dio rushed in to check on Astri's state.
"are you okay?" ask Dio.
Astri raised his head to see who was talking to him.
"i'm fine" Astri replied with a smile.
Dio sat down in front of Sherly and took a breath of relief that felt very tight.
When Dio looked again in the direction where he saw Johan was when he was going to enter the cafe but it turns out Johan was not in his place.
On the other hand Hari was finally able to get out of Sherly's house after nearly two hours of Hari being held there for various reasons.
Day immediately checked his cellphone which since an hour ago did not stop shaking.
It was a shock that Hari saw 125 missed calls and 274 incoming messages all coming from Dio.
Day immediately opened the message that contained "your parents with Astri".
Hari immediately called Dio, to ask where Astri was now.
Drrt Drrt Drrt
"where?" tanya Day's.
"the cafe in front of Astri's subscription bookstore" Dio replied.
Without a second thought, Hari immediately pressed his motorbike towards the cafe mentioned by Dio earlier.
It didn't take long for Day to arrive at the cafe and she immediately ran over to Astri who was sitting with Dio in silence.
"honey" called Hari painstakingly softening her voice.
yes, they have been dating for 6 months and it can make Astri understand the head and heart of his lover.
Astri smiles towards Hari and replies to Hari's greeting.
"yes" said Astri.
"are you okay?" tanya Day's.
"as you can see" Astri replied.
Day directly hugged Astri tightly without seeing Dio who was still sitting sweetly there looking at their scene.
"ekhem, sorry ni y sir disturb. I just want permission to leave sir" coda Dio.
Day hit Dio's head with her bare hands.
Plakk
Plakkk
"har's sick" Dio said.
"hahahaha, thank you y" said Hari.
"sama-sama" said Dio.
"i went back y, if there was any phone call" Dio said.
"yes, again thanks y" said Hari.
Astri simply nodded and threw a smile at Dio.
Day looked back at her lover deeply.
"sorry I'm late" said Hari.
"we're going to see you?" ask Astri plain.
Day breaks Astri's hair.
"no, let's go home together" said Hari.
"yes" answered Astri.
Hari put the helmet on to Astri, and told him to get on his bike.
The day drove the motor towards Astri's house casually as if they were enjoying the breeze in the afternoon.
After 30 minutes they finally arrived at Astri's house. Day parked his bike in the yard of Astri's house because he really intended to stop by.
"go in yuk" Astri asked.
"yes" said Hari.
"sit down first I make you drink" Astri said.
Day nodded and immediately sat down on Astri's living room sofa.
After Astri finished making a drink for Day then he gave it to Hari.
"it's drunk first" Astri said.
"yes, you're sitting here next to me" said Hari.
Astri sat next to Hari with a sigh, even though they had been dating for a long time but Astri still remained stubborn when near Hari even though it was 10 steps away from her.
"so you met who at the cafe" asked Hari softly.
"a-i-me meet your old o-rang" Astri replied stammered.
"don't be afraid or nervous baby I just want to know" said Hari slowly.
Astri nodded and kept his head down.
"look at my eyes dear" said Hari.
"no" Astri replied.
"why hhm?" tanya Day's.
"i'm afraid of the tears that I've been holding back from earlier coming out" Astri said honestly.
Day draws Astri's hand to get closer to her and then holds Astri in her arms.
"cry dear, it's okay" said Hari softly.
without waiting for the second command Astri had been crying so much.
The day that Astri saw crying in his arms did not hold back the tears that came to melt his cheeks.
PoV day
Forgive me dear, it has put you in a difficult situation.
I love you so much and will still love you.

Almost for hours Astri cried in the arms of Hari without explaining what really happened at the cafe.
After Astri was exhausted from crying he fell asleep in Hari's arms. Then Hari lifted Astri's body and took him to Astri's room, she laid Astri down slowly so that Astri would not be shocked and woke up.
Day kissed Astri's forehead full of affection and whispered the word love in Astri's ear.
"good evening dear, I love you more" Hari said
Day went out of Astri's room and shut her door. Then he called Elli.
Drrt Drrt Drrt
"hallo" replied Elli.
"this is Hari, can you accompany Astri tonight until her mother comes home?" word Day.
"okay, I'm there now" Elli replied.
Just five minutes Elli has arrived at Astri's house.
"can you explain what happened?" he asked Elli at Astri's house and was greeted by Hari.
"ask Astri yourself" Hari replied.
"the basics are y you" Elli's upset.
"i nitip Astri and I go first" Hari said.
"hhmmm" replied Elli who passed into Astri's house.
Before Hari leaves Astri's house she calls Dio to send Johan to Dio's apartment.
Now in Dio's apartment there are three men who are facing each other in different positions.
Day sat down and read Johan's report carefully until she had to repeat several times in the section what happened at the cafe and what her parents talked about her lover.
"Damn" shouted Hari as she turned the table in front of her.
"brazed, Sherly has dared to make both my parents come to Indonesia" snapped Hari.
"calm Har" said Dio.
"i won't let go easily this time" Hari said.
Dio beckons Johan to leave and is taken in by Johan.
