In a contract marriage. There must be a party that is harmed, whether it is from the men or women, and most of them are the women who are most disadvantaged in contract marriage. Especially if the marriage was for the sake of a descendant.
Despite getting rewards, and also luxuries that can be obtained without the need to work hard. But still not worth the sacrifice, because she had to give birth to a child whose stakes were her own life.
And as much money as can be earned in return, as well as luxury during the marriage contract, but still it is no more expensive than a life.
More painful, surely the woman who is often blamed and often referred to as a person who does not know himself because of his attitude that likes to be arbitrary, even though the men have helped him a lot in the problems in his family. But they don't think about the woman's position, because they're not in her position.
And that's what Aster is going through. Despite many scathing comments and people's judgments on him, Aster did not care. Because he who goes through, who feels it, not anyone else. No matter how they would judge him, Aster did not care at all.
"Aster, what's up, son? Papa watch you daydream all the time. Are you having any trouble?" ask Mr. Jovan to make sure.
Aster shakes. "Nothing," he answered briefly.
"If there isn't, then why are you daydreaming all the time? Are you and Keanu in trouble, or maybe you two are fighting? Don't hold it in, just tell Papa, maybe Papa can come up with a solution" Mr. Jovan tried to persuade his daughter that Aster would tell her the story and tell her about the problem.
Again Aster shook his head. "Really, Pa. There's no problem. I daydreamed because I thought about how I was going to give birth. To be honest, I was very afraid, whether God still gave me longevity or not. And right now my mentality is really not okay," said Aster.
Mr. Jovan was instantly speechless after hearing what Aster said. Fear is not only felt by Aster, but himself as well. Mr. Jovan is still very traumatized by what happened to his late wife when she gave birth to Aster.
He was in a coma for several days, and on the seventh day, the doctor said he could not survive. It breaks Mr. Jovan's heart to pieces, because he thinks he has lost his wife.
But it turns out that God still loves the little one, by returning the mother to his embrace, even though in the end he still lost his wife because of the illness he suffered.
"What's so visible, Pa? I can't seem to hide anything from you. Lately there are so many things that bother me, for me can not eat quietly or sleep well. This really bothers me, Pa." said Aster blankly and blankly.
"It seems like it's your personal issue with your husband, and if you don't want to tell Papa, it doesn't matter, because not all problems have to be told let alone told to others, including your own parents. It's late at night, you better go to bed. Papa, too, is sleepy and wants to go to bed soon." said Mr. Jovan. Mr. Jovan patted Aster's head and left him just like that.

A luxury car stopped in front of a luxurious mansion that had three floors. A man got out of the car. Then his eyes were fixed on a room that looked dark.
The man squinted his eyes, it was not usual for Aster not to turn on the lights in their room. Maybe he forgot, or indeed Aster wanted to sleep without lighting in his room. Not wanting to think anything, then Keanu went inside and his return was welcomed by Aunt Lee.
"Young master, you've come home," Aunt Lee greeted Keanu who had just arrived home.
Keanu nodded faintly. "Yes, by the way is Aster asleep? From the front yard, I saw the room was still in complete darkness. It's not usual to go to sleep without turning it on properly" he said.
Instead of answering, Aunt Lee was seen lowering her head and not daring to return Keanu's gaze. His fingers were squeezing each other, and he was sweating coldly. Looks like Aster still hasn't told him, if today he doesn't come home and stay at his father's house.
"What actually? Speak clearly and do not hesitate!!"
"The lady is not home. She stayed at her parents' house, and the Madam also told me to tell you that tonight she's not coming home." said Bibi with her head bowed down.
"He's staying at his father's house and not telling me?" Keanu clenched his hand.
"I've asked the Madam to tell me, Young Master. It seems like he forgot, and it's good if the young master just contacted him," Aunt Lee advised Keanu that he contact Aster.
Keanu sighed. "I'll go get him." He then turned around and Keanu's car left the Xiao residence again. Keanu will go to pick up the woman and bring her home.

Mr. Jovan could not help his surprise when he opened the door of his house and saw who was standing in front of the main hall door.
"Young Master Xiao,"
Mr. Jovan could not help his surprise when he opened the door and found Keanu standing at the door. He's the one who knocked on Mr. Jovan's door. "Where, Aster?" without much ado, he immediately asked Aster's whereabouts in the middle-aged in front of him.
"He's in his room, Young Master. I'll call and wake him up for you" said Mr. Jovan, leaving in front of Keanu, but his steps were stopped by the man.
Keanu. "No need, let me just go" he said and left.
Keanu opened the door to Aster's room and found the woman he was contemplating on the balcony of his room. The woman was enjoying the star-studded night sky, the night sky was indeed friendlier than the previous nights, especially with millions of sky beads that reigned above. Makes tonight even more special.
The man sighed. Then Keanu approached Aster who had not realized his arrival. "Why stand there without any heat? The air tonight is cold. Come in, you can freeze if you stand there too long!!" said it.
Both of Aster's eyes widened perfectly after hearing such a familiar voice enter and link in his ears. He quickly looked over and found a handsome man whose face he was very familiar with walking towards him with an expressionless flat face.
"Of!! Keanu, what are you doing here?!"
