“Why are you looking at me like a starving animal?” ask Katryn. Allard smiled, then took Katryn's hand on the table.
“You know, I can't believe you gave me any more trust.”
“Try it again,” Katryn said no matter.
“I don't want to lose you.”
“Omong empty!” Allard chuckles.
“I'm serious, Amour.” Katryn sighed, being lazy to look at Allard who melow like this. It's harder to face a melodious Allard than a cold Allard.
“I'm lucky to get a woman like you. You're an opium to me and you're the cure of all the pain I feel.”
“Sorry, all this time I charged you and made a heartache.” Allard glazed over saying it. Allard got up from his seat, approached Katryn and carried her into an embrace.
“Al, please no more second woman. I don't want to share with other women,” said Katryn Lirih. Allard nodded confidently.
“There's something I want to say.” Katryn looked at Allard curiously. Allard recounted the events of yesterday afternoon, complete without adding or subtracting.
“You're not kidding?” Allard.
“Why?”
“He teased me!” allard was upset. Katryn stroked Allard's cheek and kissed him.
“You can drive him out without having to kill!”
“Amour..”
“Hm.” Allard was silent for a moment.
“I want to finish him.”
“Selena?” Allard nodded, Katryn let out a tired sigh.
“How after the child was born, grew up and learned the truth that his biological mother was killed by his uncle?”
“We close the secret meeting.”
“Whatever you bury the carcass, it will smell.” Allard fell silent, inwardly confirming Katryn's words.
“Discuss on families, do not take actions that will harm the future of our children, Al.”
...***...
Katryn wakes up without Allard and Allanzel beside her. He stepped into the toilet and then went downstairs. There was only Jeff, who was accompanying Allanzel playing in the living room.
“Where's Allard?” tanyakanya. Jeff, being silent for a moment was like looking for the right word.
“Father is in the office, Mother.”
“Oh, really?” Katryn couldn't believe it, Jeff looked down.
“Now you're on her side?”
“No, Mother. Tuan said there was a sudden office business,” said Jeff.
“Alright,” says Katryn.
Allanzel asked to be carried by him, he swiftly held his handsome son and took him to the back garden. He missed his beloved Lotus garden, his smile expanding seeing the flowers blooming.
Many people ask, why does he like this flower so much? Why does she love this flower compared to the roses that most other women love? Katryn actually does not like roses, because roses have sharp thorns like life.
He used to tell Allard, he liked the Lotus because the flower was the gift of Lyla, Grandma Allard. Recalling Lyla's name, Katryn immediately recalled Keynand's similarly named fiance.
“Did Nyle match them because the girl had the same name as his wife?” katryn asked.
Katryn again looked at the beautiful lotus which was very pleasant. The lotus has a meaningful philosophy in life, one of which is the Lotus can live in a dirty pond but, it can produce beauty and cleanliness.
Like in his old life, surrounded by bad people like Earnest, family and even friends. However, Katryn was never affected by them, she always displayed kindness and did not reciprocate.
Like a living lotus does not last long, that is what life is like. Whoever it is will not survive long in the world, and that is what happened to his family, his brother and father who have gone before him.

Allard takes Katryn to the horse farm. Katryn is amazed to be here, because the farm is dominated by white horses. What interests Katryn is a black horse with a white tail, very unique.
“You are interested in that horse?” allard asked, Katryn nodded.
“Come!” Allard clasped his hands, walking together towards the horse. Katryn stared at the horse's astonishment that seemed so spoiled at Allard.
Allard ordered the guard to take the horse out, then after being in a wide field, Allard rode it first.
“Come!” allard said as he extended his hand to Katryn who was beside the horse.
“We will ride this horse?” Allard chuckled, funny at Katryn's innocent facial expression.
Katryn eventually receives Allard's hand, and Allard helps Katryn to ride the horse. Katryn was in front, and Allard was right behind Katryn, hugging her waist.
“Rilex, Amour!” allard said right in his ear.
Katryn's body slowly calmed down, while Allard began to code for the horse to walk. Slowly the horse walked, and Katryn began to smile happily, forgetting her fear.
“This horse is very unique, in my opinion.”
“Yes, this horse is one of my favorite horses.” Tell Allard, Katryn frowned.
“This farm is yours?” tanyakanya.
“Yours too,” replied Allard. Katryn chuckled, Allard's reply was like stressing that Katryn was his. Arriving, the horse stopped at Allard's direction, the man drowned his face on Katryn's neck bend and kissed her lightly.
“You have a dream like this, don't you?” ask Allard.
“You know?” Allard smiled behind the curve of his neck.
“You told me once, Amour.”
“Really? I don't remember!”
They enjoy the weather in the afternoon with a cool breeze. Katryn closed her eyes, her chest warmed with their current togetherness. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, Allard held a necklace right in front of his face.
“I want to wear this.” Allard's whisper peeked at Katryn's nape. Allard could guess Katryn was smiling, although she did not see, she was sure the wife was happy with this warm atmosphere. Katryn brushed her hair so that Allard could easily pair the necklace.
“Thank you, Husband!” katryn said sincerely.
“Sure, Amour!” reply Allard.
“The necklace you gave me was―” Katryn said hanging, she was afraid to continue her words. Allard kissed his lobe, and blew his ear.
“I know, you threw it away.”
“Sorry.”
“It's okay, you were annoyed at me then,” Allard said understandingly.
“Originally do not throw this necklace,” continued Allard and gripped the left hand Katryn who had their wedding ring.
...***...
Katryn frowned confusedly, this trip was not in accordance with the direction of the way home. Allard ordered Katryn to sleep, the man unwilling to answer her question. In the end he fell asleep in Allard's lap with his legs bent.
On the way, Allard thought a lot about their forced relationship. How not? In the beginning, their marriage was by force, without Katryn's consent.
Helping her breath slowly, her chest pounding loudly waiting for what Katryn's reaction will be when she says something. Honestly, Allard was not a person who easily expressed his will, he preferred to take action even if it was coercive.
An hour and a half away, now the car is parked at the destination. Allard woke Katryn up and put on the blindfold.
“Allard, what is this? You're not planning on killing, are you?” Allard chuckles.
“Can be!”
“Allard, don't joke! Not funny!” katryn shouted loudly holding Allard's arm.
“No, Amour. There's a surprise waiting, come on!”
Slowly, Allard led him out of the car. Also, lead him to walk until the destination they are about to go to. Arriving there, Katryn could feel Allard hugging her from behind and shortly let go. His heart was pounding, various bad thoughts were reflected in his brain.
“Alright, you can open that cover!” allard's speech sounded a little distant.
Slowly Katryn opened it, the first thing she saw was a large screen in front of her. Then, spread his gaze around. Katryn does not know for sure what this garden or, of course, around it there are roses and lotus flowers.
“Look at that screen!” allard's orders from the back.
For a moment, Katryn glanced at the flat-looking Allard. Then, Katryn turned to stare at the white screen before her. Before long, their wedding photos revolved around the song Beautiful White. The quick-changing slide featured photos of Katryn and Allard in childhood.
A word appeared in the photo “Remember what you said after we took a picture back then?”. Katryn frowned, confusion answered on the next photo slide “I like you, and you should too!” His laughter broke, as soon as he remembered, the words that made him tick dead at that time, spontaneous words without thinking first.
The screen continued to rotate photos of their togetherness, many assuming that they were lovers, but that was not true. Katryn is not the least bit aware of her feelings, only knowing that she likes the good looks of Allard. Right now he knew how he felt about the man standing behind him.
Next, the screen displays a collection of videos. Katryn is confused, since when did Allard capture the video? And complete anyway! When he played in the complex park, at school, in cafes, and much more. However, it can make his smile appear. Apparently this man collected his daily videos without being missed. Simple, but very memorable for him. He did not think at all, that Allard often took his daily videos.
After the video spins up, appears a writing “Now, turn around!” like an order, Katryn turned around, and looked at Allard bediri with a tense face.
“Many things that we have passed, including coercion and also pain that I have inflicted on you,” Allard said.
“All is not easy for you. Honestly, I don't want to lose you for the umpteenth time.” The Jeda.
“Now you and I have each other. But, it feels unfair to you because our marriage is based on my coercion.”
“So, will you marry me, Mrs Helbert?” he said as he opened a box containing a diamond ring. Katryn could not believe this, Allard knelt before her with a ring. It's romantic and also Katryn can't believe if this guy does something like this.
“Of course! Yes!” the answer.
Allard stood up, then hugged his body. From behind the wall, Marcell saw everything. He was also happy to see the face of the brother who exuded happiness and distrust. Marcell knew his brother's happiness was with Allard. He looked at Allard, that face was just as happy. Here he understood, this was proof that Allard wanted to start everything without coercion and open a new sheet in their lives.
