Preview : You know, I'm like a buffalo whose nose was poked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Their kissing session had to stop because someone was knocking on the door. Dana and Jani untied each other unwillingly. Their foreheads are still together. Their breaths still chasing each other.
"Open the door first, honey."
"Hmm," Jani immediately stood up and straightened her appearance.
Jani walked towards her hotel room door. Without seeing who knocked from the peephole, Jani immediately opened the door.
"Hi!"
"Rangga? What are you doing?"
Rangga chuckled then immediately showed a flat face after knowing who was in Jani's hotel room.
"Sorry, I thought you were alone. Earlier, your father didn't say that there was a man in your room." Rangga glanced at Dana who was currently walking to where they were standing.
"What is it?" Dana looked into Rangga's eyes sharply.
"I'm with Dana, you can go to the reception yourself, after all, it's only on the 3rd floor of this hotel if you're confused." Jani is still resentful of Rangga because of their last incident that made her angry half to death.
"Do you know that all of you in the same room?" Instead of responding to Dana and Jani's words, Rangga seemed to want a confrontation.
"My father already knows I am dating Dana and for your information I am not in the same room with Dana."
"Oh yeah? Sorry, I think I misunderstood." Rangga spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Jani, who wanted to reply to Rangga's words, could only open her mouth without uttering a word because Dana answered first with emphasis.
"Who are you? You are just her ex and now leave us alone! It's none of your business that Jani wants the same room or kisses with me! Please say to her father, then I will immediately come to propose her!"
Rangga looks surprised at Dana's words. Rangga looked at Dana and Jani alternately with a crooked smile then walked away from Jani's room.

During Arjuna and Netha's reception, Arga was reluctant to approach Jani. It's not that he's afraid of Dana, it's just that he respects Jani's lover. While Dana herself always seems to be following behind Jani, because of many families come, wheter Jani like it or not, she introduce Dana to the rest of her family. The questions that arise, as in general, when someone introduces a lover in the family circle, are only responded pleasantly by Dana and Jani. They both seem to have a radar to answer questions in a compact manner.
Rangga? He also did not come close to Jani. Not because he was afraid of Dana, but more towards maintaining the man's self-respect. He doesn't want to be branded as chasing women openly but also doesn't want to stop trying to get Anjani back to him.
The event was also attended by Jani's friends, because they really know Jani's family well. Dana was also introduced to them of course. Jani was asked various questions about her relationship with Dana. However, she still felt reluctant to talk.
Dana said goodbye to Jani's family that there was business that needed to be done even though Jani's family asked him to have a meal together āa special family event- and Dana seemed to have been considered a member of the family ā soon to be-. Jani could only smile wryly. Not willing to let Dana go to accompany his ex-lover to the doctor for an obstetric check.
Hey! C'mon! Even Dana's ex-girlfriend wasn't pregnant with that guy! Jani wants to rebel but she is still fully aware, every choice has a risk! Jani could only surrender to the situation which gradually made her even more stupid.
Jani took Dana to the hotel basement. There was no meaningful conversation as they walked hand in hand from where the family had gathered to the basement. Dana seemed reluctant to mention that he was going to take Reyna for a check-up. Jani? She didn't even know if she still had any self-respect or not. Where there is a woman who wants her lover to be concerned with other women, especially if the woman is the most beautiful former status. For Neptune's sake! Jani wants to be angry but she is tired.
"I'll go first," Dana stopped in front of his car.
"Hmm, be careful," Jani didn't smile nor did any other words come out of her lips.
Everything seemed suffocating to her.
"Don't be naughty," Dana hugged Jani and whispered words that brought Jani to tears.
"I should be the one to say that," Jani blinked her eyes to ward off her tears. "You know, I'm like a buffalo whose nose was poked."
Dana released his arms and cupped Jani's cheeks. "Sorry."
"Is there nothing else but sorry?" Jani was tired of hearing that word.
Dana wiped away Jani's tears. He smiled warmly as if he was confirming that he still belonged to Jani.
"Wait for me, I think it's going to be a while. Everything will be okay."
"I don't wanna it!" Janie shook her head.
Dana settled Jani with a furrowed brow. "What do you mean?"
"I don't think I can handle this stupid game anymore." Jani looked at Dana with a sad look.
"Look! You said that you were agree with this before. So, why'd you say you can't handle this situation?"
"I want you! But, could you imagine? My boyfriend will goes to the hospital with his ex who pregnant and that's not yours!" Jani lost control of her emotions.
She even seemed ready to go to war with Dana.
"Believe in me. After I go to the hospital I promise to come here again. Wait for me Jani." Dana said soften.
Jani took a deep breath. She closed her eyes tired. Having managed to control herself, Jani opened her eyes and nodded. She didn't want to give up yet. She didn't want to hand over the man in front of her to Reyna. No, she couldn't.
"Fine, I'm come in first, afraid of being looking for by others."
Dana kissed Jani's forehead affectionately. Jani then reunited with the rest of her family. Put on a look as if it's fine even though her heart is shattered.

Dana waited in front of the obgyn with Reyna. The queue that wasn't too long that day made Reyna seem more comfortable. Reyna does tend to be less interested in crowds. She felt uncomfortable when she was in a place full of people.
"You don't want to reconcile?" Dana spoke up after a while when they arrived and was silent at each other.
"No! We discussed this yesterday. Are you sorry for giving me the opportunity to come back to you?"
Dana took a deep breath. "Iā¦ I don't know what the future will be like. And again, I never said we could just go back. It's not that easy, Rey."
"I know you still have me in your heart. I don't want to let you go, Dan."
"You did it! Why, Rey?"
"Do you mind with my son?" Reyna looked into Dana's eyes for a glimmer of hope.
"No! Your son is not a barrier Rey. It's just that I'm not sure how much I feel for you right now. I don't know if it will be worth going back to you."
"You're just confused, honey. Everything will go back to how it used to be, I promise."
Their conversation stopped because the call on Reyna's name was heard. They entered the doctor's office with their hands clasped together. Reyna didn't want Dana to let go of her grip. As for Dana, he was confused again by his feelings. The feeling of wanting to protect Reyna was still so great in his heart.
