Christian chases after Tristan at a fast pace. Tristan had already opened the car door and was about to get in. The sound of Christian's call made Tristan not want to get into the car. Tristan closed the car door again and stood beside his car.
"Tristan! Wait!"
Stevi approaches Tristan and Christian. Stevi hid beside a parked car not far from where Tristan was standing.
"What is it?"
"What did you do to Haruna? Why did she drown in the bathtub?"
"None of your business," Tristan replied.
"Haruna? Who's the girl they were arguing about?" Steve muttered quietly. "This is the first time I've heard that Chris is worried about a girl." Stevi couldn't understand why they were fighting over the girl. Stevi left the place and got into her red car. Stevi drove to Tristan's house, she was curious about a girl named Haruna.
"I have to know, who really is Haruna? And why is she at Tristan's house?"
Stevi increased the speed of the car. Can't wait for Stevi to get to Tristan's house.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
Check!
"Miss, we're in." The waiter came in and brought food for Haruna. She put it on the nightstand. "Miss, do you need anything?" asked the waiter.
Haruna shook her head slowly. Haruna stood by the window. Staring blankly at the sun this morning. The morning sun is always greeted cheerfully by Haruna, today Haruna does not feel its beauty. Haruna's mind wandered. She hugged himself tightly. Slowly her body descended and sat on the floor with her back against the window post. She looked around the courtyard, saw several well-dressed bodyguards. The guards wore white shirts combined with black suits.
"Looks like he's really scared that I'm running away. Even though that bastard knows very well that I won't be able to leave this house." Haruna muttered as she buried her face in her bent knees.
"Miss, you have to eat breakfast!" said the waiter. The maid stood beside Haruna. She felt sorry for Haruna who was confined by Tristan. She crouched down beside Haruna. "Miss, you must be strong. This is the first time I have seen a young master lock a girl in the house. Surely you are a special girl to a young master, that's why the young master locked you up. I believe because Miss is the girl the young master loves," said the waiter who tried to cheer her up.
"Loved girl? Tch." Haruna snorted at the maid's words that Tristan loved her. "I don't want to eat anything. Bring back the food!" said Haruna. She got up and went back to bed. Haruna lay curled up like a tiny baby.
"Miss, eat even if it's just a little. If you don't eat, the maid can be scolded by the young master." The waiter persuaded Haruna to want to eat her breakfast.
But Haruna still curled up not moving an inch from her position. Until the maid came out of her room Haruna remained silent. Haruna's tears slowly dripped down the palm of the hand that was the base of her head. Haruna never expected that her life would be as pathetic as it is now. Since Haruna became the adopted son of Kamal and Anggi, Haruna's life has always been filled with love, affection, and happiness that Kamal and Anggi gave to her and Vivi.
Haruna reminisces about the good times she had as a child with Kamal, Anggi and Vivi. There is not a single day that makes them unhappy, they are always happy with their simple life and togetherness. Haruna's harsh words to Tristan have changed Haruna's life one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Auntie, take Kia to meet mama!"
"Auntie has to go find a job, honey. So, Kia stayed at home with Grandma, ok!"
"Hmm." Kiara pouted because no one could invite her to meet Haruna.
Vivi was wearing a black knee-length skirt with a white shirt and a black bag which she used to keep her application letter. Vivi said goodbye and went to find a job. It was difficult for Vivi to find a job with a high school diploma that had passed three years ago. Most companies accept fresh graduate students. There are also HRD of several companies who openly insult Vivi. It doesn't matter to Vivi, as long as they don't get physical. If they dared to push Vivi, then Vivi would be angry.
After getting tired of walking around and asking several companies that posted vacancies, Vivi took a rest in a park. She wiped the sweat dripping down her neck. Today's weather is so hot, when she saw the road seemed to emit hot steam that could be seen faintly in her eyes, Vivi averted her gaze.
"Scorching hot."
"Here!" The boy gave a bottle of mineral water to Vivi.
"No, thank you." Vivi can't just accept something from a stranger. Vivi got up and walked, she was afraid that the man was a bad person who was trying to do something to her.
"Hey! You're looking for a job aren't you?" The man calls Vivi and asks.
Vivi stopped and turned to the stranger. It turned out that when she looked at the man's face, he was very handsome. Vivi was mesmerized for a moment then realized that she shouldn't trust strangers.
"You think? I'm dressed like this of course looking for a job." Vivi said curtly.
"So fierce. I was just surprised. Anyone else applying for jobs like you?"
"You mean?" Vivi was irritated by the man's taunt.
"Nowadays most of them are looking for work online. It's rare to find a job like you from one company gate to another."
"I also know, but ... hah, never mind! Why serve people like you," said Vivi. She stepped back and the man called out to him again.
"Hey! I can give you a job," said the man.
Vivi stopped and returned to the man. "Are you serious?"
"Hem. Being a servant in ..." The man's words were cut off by Vivi.
"I thought so. You're just a pervert snaring prey. You want me to be a servant in your house, don't you?!" said Vivi in a voice holding back annoyance. Vivi remembered Haruna who was forced to become a servant at Tristan's house. Vivi clenched her fists. "I won't do anything to disappoint my Sister. Just dream!" said Vivi half shouted. Vivi sheds tears.
"I haven't finished talking. I want you to be a waiter at my cafe. And why are you crying? I didn't do anything to you. People will misunderstand and may think that I'm a real pervert," said the man. The man looked at Vivi who was standing and lowered her face. Staring at the shoulders of Vivi who was up and down as Vivi sobs. The man was touched to hear Vivi's cry which was so heartbreaking.
"What happened to this girl? Why does she look so sad? It just makes me feel guilty. Obviously I didn't hurt her," the man mumbled.
