"yes already, then please make coffee for the father and mr. dodi" said mr. hermawan.

"well sir" said tias as he passed leaving the living room.

"here to sit next to the father, there are those who want the father and the dodi sir to talk about."pak hermawan patted the chair next to him, tias also obeyed his father's request,he walked towards the chair next to his hermawan sir.

"before his father apologized for interrupting the time nak tias."pak dodi started talking.

"no sir, you're not interrupting my time,"

" my son wants to go straight to the point, is it true that your relationship with a man named Panji is over?"ask mr. dodi
