The next morning, Casandra was ready to go to campus. But she was confused, what to do first. To campus or to Sanya's shop?
"Did go to campus first or to Sis Sanya's place first? But how can I talk to Uncle Doni. He will definitely complain to dad again later!" Casandra muttered standing in front of the mirror biting her index finger.
For a moment of silence, Casandra grabbed the bag that was ready on the sofa and rushed downstairs to meet Riyu and Sam who were waiting for her at the dining table to have breakfast together.
Casandra sat squeezing her fingers under the table, asking permission to go to Sanya's shop but afraid that Sam wouldn't let her. But if Casandra was lying, Sam would surely find out. That's what Cassandra thought.
"Father, mother" Casandra mustered up the courage to speak. "This morning, may I go to Sis Sanya's shop for a moment? I…" Casandra fell silent, hesitating to continue.
"Yes," answered Sam.
"What?" Cassandra said surprised.
It was that easy for Sam to say "Yes?" Casandra wanted to make sure that her ears had not misheard earlier. Could it be that her father gave permission so quickly without arguing? Surprise.
"My answer is not clear? Dad said you can go there," said Sam again.
"Go kid, but you have to be careful, okay?" Ryu chimed in.
A wide smile appeared on Casandra's lips, she felt very happy. Finally after so long he was able to also come out with an easy pass.
"Wait a minute. Looks like something's not right. Dad must be up to something! He wouldn't let me go that easily if he didn't have a purpose right?!" Casandra whispered to herself, looking closely at Sam.
After breakfast Casandra got ready to go to her car, but her steps stopped when her eyes saw a figure standing straight in front of her. A familiar figure with a distinctive smile.
"Uncle Aji???" Cassandra didn't think so.
"Good morning young lady" Aji bowed and smiled at her.
"Uncle Aji ..." Casandra immediately ran to hug him. "I'm sorry, uncle. Because of me you were hurt. Because of me, you were fired by my father," said Casandra feeling very guilty while hugging Aji.
"The young lady. I'm your subordinate, I don't deserve to be treated like this" said Aji feel bad.
"No. I've treated you like my family, you know! But... What's wrong with uncle Aji coming here?" Cassandra then asked.
"Mr. Sam told me to come back because I've recovered miss"
Casandra stared at Aji silently. "W... What do you mean?"
"The wound on my hand has healed, that's why Mr. Sam told me to go back to work," said Aji, showing his hand.
"So... So you wasn't fired?" Cassandra was a little surprised.
"Mr Sam just stopped me for a bit. Until my wound is healed." Aji smiled calmly.
"Temporarily suspended? That means... Dad didn't fire him. How dare they play this kind of drama and make me feel guilty half to death!" Casandra muttered in heart.
"I envy you Aji, why can my daughter hug you like that" said Sam suddenly behind them.
Hearing her father's voice, Casandra immediately wiped her tears. "Sorry I cried for you all this time!" Casandra grumbled in her heart.
"I'm going to college first! See you later." Casandra said with an annoyed tone and a sullen face.
"Honey, you forgot the morning kiss!" Riyu protested.
"No morning kisses Mom. Today I lost tears and hugs. Your father is annoying! Uncle Aji, you are annoying too!" Casandra grumbled before getting into her car.
Sam and Riyu laughed. Their daughter looks so cute when she sulks like that.q

Today is the happiest day for Casandra, she is allowed to bring her own car, play to Sanya's shop, without strict security. It was like a peacock coming out of its golden cage. Casandra did not want to waste the opportunity.
There was still enough time for Casandra to visit Sanya, after parking the car, she walked in. Sanya was busy arranging her homemade cakes on the display case she had cleaned earlier.
"Sis Sanya" said Casandra.
Every now and then Casandra wiped the entire room with her eyes. Looking for Anan's figure, but the man doesn't seem to be there. Casandra became more and more worried, she was afraid her father had done something to Anan.
"Waaahh, Miss Sandra. Come here, I will prepare the most delicious cake for you," said Sanya cheerfully. She knew Casandra really liked her moci cake.
Sanya provided Casandra with a portion of moci cake and hot tea. "Miss, how come you are here so early?" asked Sanya somewhat surprised.
"Oh yes sis. It's still early when I go to campus, so I just stopped by here," answered Casandra.
"Wow, that's right" said Sanya with a cheerful smile.
Casandra looked at the sweet woman in front of her, her cheerful face made heart ward off all negative thoughts.
"Sis... I have something to ask" Casandra said doubtfully.
"Please Miss" Sanya's face turned serious looking at Casandra.
"Sis, that person..." Casandra's words were cut off because Anan suddenly came.
"You!" said Anan surprised when he saw Casandra was chatting casually with him sister.
"Here. I want to talk to you!" Anan immediately grabbed Casandra's hand and led her to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Sanya is confused by her brother's attitude.
"Anan!" Sanya said trying to prevent. She was afraid they would fight again.
"Sister calm down, I just want to have an important talk with her"
Seeing Anan who was so serious, Sanya fell silent. Sanya believed in her brother and prayed that he would not be rude to Ranu Manunggal's family members. It was enough for Sanya to see her sister hurt yesterday because of that hat, she didn't want that to happen again.
"Hey, let me go! What do you really want!" Casandra said trying to free Anan's grip. But the more she tried to run away, the tighter Anan gripped her.
