Ivona entered the living room leisurely, as if unconcerned by the tension in the space. After getting a call from Richard to immediately come to his papa mansion, after surgery the girl immediately glided. In fact, he did not tell Aldo about his departure. With pushy eyes, grandfather looked at the girl without blinking. Richard gestured for the girl, to slightly bow to grandfather. But feeling unfamiliar with the old man, and also no information whatsoever about the arrival of grandfather, as usual Ivona cuek in meeting people.
"Good night, Mr. Richard." before sitting down, Ivona greeted grandfather and Richard. Nodding her head, Ivona smiled at the old man.
"Did your parents teach you manners toward older people..?" suddenly there was the sound of an impressed grandfather reprimanding Ivona. Richard directly scratched his non-itchy head, and he lowered his head. Receiving a reprimand from an unknown man, Ivona did not feel angry. The girl smiled and bravely looked at Grandpa.
"Where is my disrespect in greeting Mister?? I smiled and lowered my body, and before I sat down, I had already given my greeting to Master. Please tell me.., where is my disrespect?" in a stern tone, Ivona asked grandfather directly.
"Na.., Nana.., control yourself!" richard reminded the girl.
"Hmmm.., have the guts too you.." said the grandfather as he looked back at Ivona, his hand coded his grandson to let them argue.
"My mother nurtured and educated me in the right way, sir. If I can be arrogant, specialist doctors, expert laboratories.., medical equipment architects I managed to master under the hard upbringing of my mother. At any time, I will not allow anyone to claim the abilities I have, including papa. To that end, how could I be silent if anyone would bully me." with a cynical smile, Ivona responded to grandfather's words.
Grandpa smiled wryly at the girl's violence. The old man was like a mirror, the girl's hard and firm nature was exactly the same as her nature and character. But he still wanted to test the girl's guts, how fast she was to bear Mahendra's last name.
"With what are you telling me.., is that what you're conceiving in front of me girl?" with a tone of sarcasm, Grandfather again responded to Ivona's words. Finished saying, grandfather took another glass of the handle, and began to sip the drink that was inside.
"I don't mean to be arrogant Sir.., I'm just defending myself from a much more arrogant, oppressive person. Don't call me Carminda by last name, if I'm just standing idly by in an oppressed state. Mama will never tolerate it." firmly, Ivona did not run out of sense and answers to argue with grandfather.
Unexpectedly, after Ivona answered every word of the grandfather, the old man slowly shifted from his seat and approached Ivona. Without speaking anything, the old man immediately hugged Ivona.
"My granddaughter.., you really are my grandson Ivona." said the old man.
But apparently Richard's concerns were not proven. The young man had since felt anxious and worried that grandfather would pressure his sister even more, but it turned out from his face, grandfather even more comforted. Seeing that, Richard finally returned to his calm mind.
*************
That night Ivona was not allowed to return to Richard's mansion, her grandfather asked the girl to remain in this mansion for as long as her grandfather was in Indonesia. Not having a busy schedule, Ivona eventually shuts herself in her room and surfs in a virtual world. Tired of dealing with the medical world, Ivona tries to melt her mind by playing e-sports. Wearing a tomboyish war goddess costume, Ivona quickly joins her partners and co-stars. But just a few minutes into the game, Ivona was bored. The maneuvers he made no one could chase, Ivona could perform a perfect annihilation using only one shot. No opponent could match him.
"Or I tried to contact Alex's sister huh.., it seemed like the man could help me out of this boredom abyss. But.., if you're already with Alex's brother, maybe the man won't let me go. He has not been able to move on.., if we are in a different world. Brother Alex always thinks we're husband and wife." Ivona ruffled her hair. Really just being in the room, can strangle him.

In Frans Mahendra's room
Grandpa and Richard invite Frans to discuss their plans for Ivona's wedding. They deliberately talk about it in Frans' room, to avoid suspicion if Ivona finds out.
"So what's your next plan, Frans..?" ask grandpa slowly.
"Frans actually wanted to bring Carminda here pa.. But you know for yourself, how strict care and order in the main laboratory." Frans Mahendra complained about the main laboratory.
"You had the idea to please your heart to meet that woman, or indeed be sincere to my granddaughter Ivona. Don't hide in your boat Frans.." in a stern tone, grandfather insinuated his only son. Richard looked at the two of them in turn. As a younger generation, Richard decided to be just a listener.
Frans Mahendra smiled wryly. Honest in her heart, though she knows that Carminda is already married to Doctor Rafi, but she cannot lie to her feelings. He wanted to see the face of the woman he had once married, but because of their circumstances they had to separate.
"Pa.., Carmind is married to a doctor who is also an expert labourer in the laboratory. Well. to please the girl alone, if in her marriage the person who gave birth and took care of her also accompanied on her happy day." Frans gave Ivona's excuse.
Grandfather fell silent, then after taking a deep breath..,
"I will try to use my power. I'll ask permission for Carminda and her husband to come here. I wouldn't hesitate to beat you up if I knew you were still thinking about that woman. She's married, unless she's still alone." Grandpa's finally gonna use her powers.
"Is it really pa..??" frans Mahendra said with a happy expression. Richard was delighted to hear the news in the meantime.
