Six Months Later.
A beautiful woman was putting on her jacket, she flicked her long, wavy hair and styled it to look neat. Apparently, the woman was staring at the mirror and looking at her reflection. The woman was none other than Aluna, she smiled at herself who looked very beautiful this morning. Without realizing it, it had been six months since Aluna had become a widow.
"Okay, Aluna, don't let your darkest moments make handsome men out there wait too long for you. Get out of the heartache zone and into the ocean of love. Because this world is so beautiful, it's just that so many people are wasting love," said Aluna, encouraging herself.

"Aluna, I... eh, why are you dressed so beautifully this morning?" Mega was surprised when she found Aluna dressed very beautifully. Because usually, Aluna only dresses modestly and always stays at home. For the past six months, Aluna had been living at Mega's house, she also received full attention from Mega's parents whom she already considered like her own parents. Meanwhile, she left the house her ex-husband had given her empty.
"I'm going to meet a handsome man like a king!" exclaimed Aluna with a big smile.
"Tsk, forget it! Where are you going this afternoon?" exclaimed Mega as she walked over to Aluna's bed and lay down there.
Aluna thought for a moment, actually she had no particular destination. Just wanted to go out and take a walk for a while. For the past six months, she has also been helping Mama Mega take care of her boutique. Occasionally she helps to design clothes. Luckily her design sold well as a modern design.
"I don't know yet, maybe to the mall. I want to buy some clothes, why?" Aluna asked, she was already suspicious if Mega would definitely ask her to do something.
"You're the one delivering Papa's lunch, I really don't want to go out. The weather is so hot, I don't want my skin to get dark. It's different from you who have been white since birth. You can be exposed to the sun and you'll be white again." Mega asked with a big smile.
"Tsk, there's sunscreen. Just say you're lazy. Besides, beauty doesn't have to be white, you just want to be white too much. A woman will look beautiful in the eyes of the right man," Aluna quipped. Mega smiled, showing her teeth, her best friend knew she was lazy.
"Alright, I'll deliver Papa's lunch this afternoon," Aluna said as she picked up her cell phone.
Aluna felt grateful, she felt the love that had been lost from her parents through Mega's parents. Initially, there was fear in Aluna's heart if she stayed with Mega's family. However, beyond her expectations, Mega's family welcomed her well.
"Aluna, have no intention of looking for a husband again? Yesterday someone asked about you to Papa, you know," Mega said which made Aluna turn around.
"Just for you, you're still single. Be careful, you're an old spinster," Hearing Aluna's words made Mega annoyed.
"My soul mate is still keeping my soul mate," grumbled Mega.
"So, grab your soul mate. If I ... wait a minute, I'm still selecting someone who's better than my ex-husband. So that later he won't be arrogant if I marry a man below him," said Aluna as she looked back at her cell phone.
"That's good! So that the womanizer doesn't keep flying, sometimes he has to be dropped to make him realize that he is a crocodile! Not an eagle!" exclaimed Mega which made Aluna chuckle.

In his office, a man who was none other than Arvian was busy with his pile of files. He had been clicking in annoyance, because his work was never finished. For a moment, he glanced at his watch. It turned out that it was already eleven o'clock in the afternoon, where he had to immediately finish his work so he could take a break.

Arvian was startled because he heard the sound of his office door opening without being knocked on. The man looked up and stared at a woman dressed in tight clothing with a file in her arms. Arvian's acquaintance frowned, he had never seen the woman in his office before.
"Excuse me, sir, I'm a new intern. Your assistant left this document with me and asked me to give it to you," the woman said as she walked over to Arvian.
Arvian's eyes narrowed, he signaled for the woman not to approach him with his sharp gaze. However, as if not afraid. Instead, she stood next to Arvian and placed the file in front of him. Arvian immediately covered his mouth and nose, he had been holding back nausea since the woman was a meter away from him.
"Sir, I...." The woman boldly touched Arvian's shoulder, making the man furious and getting up, pushing the woman's hand away trying to approach him.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, SHAMELESS WOMAN! WHO ARE YOU TO ENTER MY ROOM AND TOUCH ME AS YOU PLEASE! YOU MAKE ME SICK!" snapped Arvian with his face flushed red.
"Sick?" The woman was confused, she tried to smell her body. However, she didn't smell anything bad from her body. Why was Arvian feeling nauseous?
Arvian took the cell phone that was on his desk, he then called security to kick the woman out. Not long after, two security guards came along with a man who served as Arvian's assistant.
"Get this woman out of my office! Don't let her set foot in this office again," snapped Arvian with a sharp gaze.
"Yes, sir!" The two security guards immediately dragged the woman out. Of course, the woman struggled.
"NO! SIR! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" shouted the woman without Arvian paying attention.
Meanwhile, Arvian, he already felt itchy on his body. His face flushed red holding back the itch, his body felt hot too. Seeing his boss's response like that, Arvian's assistant immediately took some medicine from the cupboard and gave it to his boss who was in pain.
Arvian accepted it, he immediately took his medicine and drank a glass of water which he took from the table. The man took a deep breath, his chest felt so tight. He momentarily propped himself up with his palms on his desk. His head was bowed while he normalized his heartbeat.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I was careless, that woman took the file I put on a table before I went into the toilet. I didn't know if the woman took it and gave it to you," said Arvian's assistant with remorse.
"Reza, you almost threatened my life!" snapped Arvian, staring intently at his assistant, Reza.
"Sorry," Reza said apologetically. Arvian sighed slowly, he turned to sit back in his large chair and leaned back
His eyes were fixed, normalizing his hurried breathing. Arvian, a handsome man who suffers from Gynophobia. He will feel itchy and hot all over his body, it could also be nausea. Even, shortness of breath. Like someone who is allergic to food, weather or certain products. But Arvian, he's allergic to women. Every time a woman got near him, he felt his body immediately itchy and hot.
Therefore, until the age of thirty-three, Arvian has not married. Many rumors say that Arvian doesn't like women and actually likes men. Arvian wanted to refute it all, but he didn't have a wife who could refute the words of the people who slandered him.
"Sir, I forgot to give you this letter." Arvian opened his eyes again, he looked at Reza who was handing him a brown envelope containing a letter. He took it and read the writing on the brown envelope.
"Court?" Arvian wondered.
Out of curiosity, Arvian opened it. How surprised he was when he saw the contents. The man straightened up, holding the paper with trembling hands holding back the anger that was raging within him.
"The court informed that the family of the late Mrs. Divya would like to appeal for custody of Mr. Arega. They are using rumors about you that are circulating to strengthen the custody battle for Mr. Arega in the trial. So that later, their request is easier to be granted by the judge," explained Reza.
"No way! My brother is still alive! Even though he's in a coma, he has full rights to his son! I don't want my nephew to be raised by that sly family. When his daughter died, the family sued my brother for his property. Especially if my nephew is in that sly family?!" hissed Arvian.
Four years ago, Arvian's younger brother, Nalendra Sagara, had an accident. At that time, Nalendra's wife was pregnant with their first child at seven months pregnant. However, due to an accident, Nalendra went into a coma. Nalendra's wife, Divya Baskara had to give birth to their son prematurely due to problems with her pregnancy. Unfortunately, Divya couldn't survive. She died after a caesarean section was performed.
Arvian, had to take care of his newborn nephew. He did not allow his nephew to be cared for by his late brother-in-law's family because of the bad nature of their family that Arvian did not like. He takes care of his nephew with the help of a babysitter. Arvian still hopes his sister will regain consciousness, because his sister is the only family he has left after their parents died in a plane crash.
"This cannot be allowed! If Arega goes with them, my nephew could end up following their cunning ways. This cannot be allowed! Their goal is to take Arega so that it will be easy to take advantage of the Sagara family. This cannot be allowed! I have to meet my lawyer," muttered Arvian, his eyes staring straight ahead.

Meanwhile, in a mansion, precisely in a room lit by colorful lights. Apparently, a four-year-old boy was holding a mic. The room felt shaking because of the sound of large speakers in two places that sounded very loud. The adorable boy had been jumping up and down making his chubby cheeks move up and down.
"FIRST OF ALL, I'M REALLY AWESOME! YOU'RE AN AMAZING FRIEND, DILAN! YOU TW..."
"EN! THE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP IS HERE!" The adorable boy ended his activity, he turned his head and looked at a middle-aged woman who was walking quickly towards him.
"Nooo! Mean Nanny, one more hour." The adorable boy ran away carrying his mic, he didn't want to stop his fun activities.
"Eh, little master! I saw a leker seller in front of the house. The brother is about to leave!" shouted the woman, persuading her little employer to stop making a fuss.
Hearing his favorite food, the adorable boy turned around. Arega Geofrey Sagara, Arvian's nephew who really likes dangdut. Not a day without setting it up, making those around him feel headaches.
"LEKER? HUH, THERE'S LEKER, I FORGOT!" the boy threw his mic in any direction. Then, took his money and ran out of his room.
"Huh, finally." The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, finally she was able to stop the sound that was making her head throbbing.
