Dino started to rub his head for not being able to answer Hanin's question. His daughter is growing and getting smarter every day. Dino is looking at Lala, hinting at his mother to help him answer Hanin's question.

"Hanin is still young to know about this," Lala said to her granddaughter. The woman then started to talk about another topic, making Hanin forgot her question.

​​

The car finally arrived in front of Bara's house. The man and Dila were waiting for their arrival.

"Welcome to Jakarta, brother." Bara greets Dino by giving him a fist bump. Unexpectedly, they are getting closer easily.

"Hi, sister-in-law." Dino teases Dila.

"Oh my, please stop it, no," Dila grumbled while walking to Lala and Hanin.

"My little girl," Dila said then pick the girl up in her arms although the six-year-old Hanin was quite heavy.

"Mom. I miss You," Hanin said bitterly.

"Mom also misses you too, baby girl." Dila has not been separated from Hanin since they have lived together for four years. Dila misses the little girl quite a lot because she had considers Hanin like her own child.

"How are you, aunty?" Dila shook Lala's hands.

"I am healthy, Dil." Lala hugged Dila warmly. "You look so happy now, Dila. Are you happy to be with Bara again?"

"I am very happy, aunty. He is my happiness, my life, and my heart."

"Since when did you start to overreact like this?"

"Just recently. Aunty, Hanin, let's go inside and take a break, you must be tired. Let Bara and Dino talked. Bar, I've prepared drinks and snacks on the table, okay?" Dila tells her husband.

"Why don't you call your husband lovingly? Why don't you try to call him something like honey, sweety, sweetheart, or my husband?" Dino even sneered at Dila.

"She only being passionate when she's in our room, No." Bara even teased his wife.

"You pervert." Dila stomped her foot leaving Dino and Bara.

"Is this your and Dila's house?" Dino asked while looking at Bara's home. "Where's Rere's house?" Dino looked at his surroundings.

"The third house from here, but because Rere, Dian, and my house are linked together, you can actually access Rere house from this house. Did you miss Rere that much?" Bara started to teases Dino.

"I miss Leon."

"What about Leon's mother?"

"Bar, is Rere really going to accept my proposal? I was rejected bluntly the last time I propose to her."

"You must believe that she is going to accept your proposal. What we think of might become reality. I will convince her to accept your proposal. You have to marry for Leon's future. I don't want people out there ridiculed my nephew. I love Leon. I have loved him since he was still in my sister's womb."

"Thank you for giving me your blessing, bar. Even though love hasn't come to us yet, I'm sure we will start to love each other after our wedding."

"I was once experiencing a similar situation to yours. Even though now we love each other deeply, Dila and I got married through an arranged marriage because of a situation. Dila was so down because she loved Fatih in our early married life. No one knows our fated partner, but our matchmaking turns out to be the best option all along. It turned out that I love my wife so much, I love the woman that my parents choose for me. You just need to believe that your family only wants the best for you. Maybe Leon is God's way to match you and Rere. Are you ready to marry Rere?"

"I am, Bar."

"Rere is still immature. Sometimes her childish nature appears. She has to become a mother because of her circumstances. You have to be patient and try to understand her childish attitude. She is a woman with big pride. She does not want others to see her weaknesses. She would say that she is okay even though she is sick. She's someone that likes to hide her true feeling. She is a prideful person. I will give you an example of Rere's pridefulness. Her pride was hurt when you say that she framed you for money. If she is not that prideful, she might tell you when she realizes that she was pregnant. Rere knows your identity. She can just come to your company and ask you to be responsible for your action which can easily solve the problem."

"It's all my fault, Bar. How could she be okay after what I said? I've recklessly accused her when she was just trying to help me. If she accepted my proposal, I will try to be a good husband for your sister."

"I will guarantee that both of you are going to marry soon." Bara tapped Dino's shoulder.

*****

"What the heck is this?" Rere was shocked to learn that Dino asked her hand in marriage to Herman and Ainil. Rere was suspicious of Dino's arrival and her presumption was right, it turned out that Dino directly asked her hand in marriage from her father.

"Dino asks your hand in marriage from us." Herman looked at her daughter.

"But father." Rere pitifully looked at Herman.

"Rere, come with me!" Bara said coldly. Rere shuddered at his brother's unfriendly face. she follows Bara unwillingly to the study.

"Why don't you want to marry Dino?"

"Brother, what is the point of marriage if it is just for Leon's sake? I can take care of Leon by myself so far. We can take care of Leon without getting married. I don't love him, brother."

"You just need time to love Dino, Re. Just marry him for Leon's future if you are really a good mother."

"What do you mean? Am I not a good mother figure for my son, now?"

"Children need both of their parents because they need father and mother figure in their lire. Leon and Hanin could have a strong bond. They can live together if both of you get married. Leon needs his father and sibling's love. Don't separate them just because of your selfishness. Dino just wants to be responsible for his past mistake. He wants to atone for his mistake"

"But, marriage cannot be forced, brother."

"Leon needs a legal status. Do you want people to scold and bully him as an illegitimate child because his parents are not married? You don't want that to happen, right? If the man wants to take responsibility, why don't you accept it? Every woman in your position will ask the man to be responsible, but you. I can't understand your mind. Maybe Leon is God's way to unite both of you. Just do it for Leon. Dino is a good man. I can confirm that he's a good man. He is a great father to Shaka, Shakel, and Salsa. He took care of my three children like his own."

"But, Leon and Hanin can get closer without us getting married. Hanin can stay here if Dino allows it."

"It is not that simple, Re. Did you refuse to get married because you feel that you are too independent? or, did you feel like you can do everything without a male figure in your life? You don't want Dino's money because you have a lot of wealth, right?"

"That's not the point, brother."

"Then what? Give me one reason why did you reject Dino's proposal? If you do not want to get married to Dino, find another man who wants to marry you and acknowledge Leon as his son. Does that man even exist?"

"Bro .."

"I give you the choice. If you don't listen to me, then I know my worth and I am going to step back. I'm just your stepbrother that has no right to take care of your life. We're just strangers who met because of our parent's marriage."

"Please don't say something like that, brother" Rere panicked at Bara's anger. "Okay. I will marry Dino. But, if he fails to make me happy in the future, I am going to blame you for my misery."

"I never wrong." Bara hugged Rere. "He will be a good husband for you."

"Give me one answer that can make me sure about Dino. Why do you believe in Dino?"

"He is a good man. The proof is that he has been a good father to my three children all this time. He loves my son sincerely. He has been a father figure for my children all this time. Trust me. Marrying Dino is the right choice. I'm sure he will make you happy."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes. I'm very sure. My choice is never wrong. If he hurts you. I'm the first to kill him. I just want you to be happy. I know if he can make you happy. I want Leon and his father to live together. Son can't live without presence of a father."

Rere could no longer dodge. She was sure that Bara only wanted the best for her. How Bara treats her all this time, has proven his affection as a brother. Bara always protects her without her knowing it.
