Harry accidentally saw a glimpse of a woman he knew through the arrival door. Immediately sharpened his eyesight. But the woman who was the center of his attention had disappeared somewhere behind the door.
Harry then frowned. Stared at it with serious thoughts.
Cleo realized, spontaneously asked.
"Any wrong?" Cleo asked with an astonished face. Because she felt Harry's expression stiffened.
Harry shook his head uncomfortably. Continued to walk to the trunk to collect their luggage. Harry's driver was waiting for them outside to take them to Sofia's house.
They received a very warm welcome and happiness after arrived. Sofia couldn't stop smiling.
"Congratulations on returning from vacation. I hope you have a pleasant holiday," said Sofia welcoming the arrival of the two lovebirds whom she had been waiting for so much.
Harry and Cleo then gave their gifts to their grandmother and all the residents of the house. However, Sofia looked a little surprised by the change in Harry's face.
"Are you in a bad mood?" asked Sofia. Staring at Harry and then Cleo in turn.
Harry and Cleo didn't answer.
And Cleo immediately took Sofia.
"Grandma, did you prepare a surprise for me in Singapore?" Cleo asked with a happy smile to change their conversation.
Sofia started to join in.
"You like it?" asked Sofia.
"Of course! But how did you manage to prepare it all? Isn't that troublesome?" asked Cleo with acute curiosity.
Sofia's laughter was already booming.
"Of course not. The preparation is pretty easy. And I just have to ask them to prepare everything. Is the service satisfying?" asked Sofia.
"Em ... yes, Grandma. Very nice and thank you," replied Cleo politely. And Sofia spontaneously protested.
"For fellow families, is it necessary to still thank each other?" asked Sofia jokingly.
Cleo chuckled at that.
Glanced at Harry slightly. And the man was still silent and didn't say anything. Cleo immediately filed a protest when Sofia had left the two of them to go to the toilet for a while.
"Do you still need a curvy face like that? What did you see at the airport earlier? Did something bad happen?" whispered Cleo, holding back her curiosity.
Harry, who was already feeling better, glanced at her a little.
"Is your mood better?" asked Cleo, who noticed Harry's mood change.
Harry then answered.
"I am fine. And nothing bad happened. Then, are you worried?" asked Harry with a strange sarcasm.
Cleo then raised an eyebrow. Touched Harry's forehead.

"Are you sick?" She asked sarcastically back, "Your head may not be hot. But I think your brain has shifted a little. Do we need to see a doctor?" asked Cleo in response.
Cleo looked at him sarcastically.
"Can't you get rid of that hand of yours? I'm healthy and my brain hasn't shifted one bit," Harry was already overwhelmed by Cleo in responding to his words.
Began to ignore the line of thoughts that crossed his mind. Harry began to ignore his concerns for the past. Didn't expect that the person he had just met was actually the person he knew.
Harry hoped his imagination was wrong. After all, right or wrong. He had nothing to do with Aretta.
His ex-lover, who had left him because of another lover. Harry felt it was not the time for him to reminisce about his past again. The times when he trusted someone and gave up all his time for that woman. But in the end, all in vain.
Cleo managed to break Harry's reverie. During a short discussion between Harry, Cleo, and Sofia.
"Grandma is asking your opinion. Don't you have anything to say?"
Harry gave her a slightly confused look.
"Grandma asked you what you thought about your project in Singapore. Is everything all right?" asked Cleo with a broad smile.
Harry immediately gave the answer.
"Everything is fine. As it should be. Petter Zhang has taken care of everything well. Grandma doesn't have to worry about it," exclaimed Harry in a calm manner.
Grandma nodded in return.
"Then how about your project here? If there is a problem you can tell me directly. You see, grandma still remembers many things related to business matters with your grandfather. Grandma is always looking forward to complaining if you need help. Is everything smooth?" Sofia asked while sipping a drink.
Received a polite nod from Harry and a yes from him. Until then the question turned to its real goal. Sofia asked Harry about his promise to take her to his home.
"Are you ready?" asked Sofia with a certain point, but she didn't show it.
Cleo already glanced at Harry to wait for an answer from him. Harry who was stared at and asked, answered automatically. Harry looked at the two at the same time.
"Yes, of course. Grandma can come whenever you want," said Harry in answer to his grandmother's question. Cleo also nodded and smiled to agree.
Sofia just stared at the two of them with narrowed eyes. Sofia just followed the path made by her first grandchild.
"How about now?" asked Sofia with all the peaceful smiles. But in her heart, she held her feelings firmly from snapping at the two of them.
"Today, Grandma?" Cleo responded quickly. And Harry's gaze supported the question.
"Yes, today. It just so happens that you guys have come here and finished chatting. How about we just go over to your house to have a look. You must be very tired too, right?" said Sofia with a smile of satisfaction. Because she managed to bully her grandson and grandson-in-law.
Sofia was sure the two of them had panicked for a moment earlier. But not Sofia, if she just let it be. Sofia deliberately challenged them to come to their house.
She invited Daniar to come along with her. The four of them then went together to Harry's house. Cleo who just had time with Harry whispered to him when his grandmother went to get ready.
Gaze at the man with an almost frustrated look. Cleo demanded an explanation.
"Are you ready to take Grandma to your house? Has Dirga already informed him of his readiness?" asked Cleo curiously.
Harry was just relaxing.
"Dirga has not informed it. But I'm sure all has been done. Besides, what can I do if Grandma is going to insist? Do you think I can do something?" Harry replied easily, making Cleo really wanted to hit his head lightly.
Had this guy really been this cool all this time? He did not want their fake relationship to be exposed by his grandmother. But he also didn't want to be too dizzy thinking about all the efforts to prevent Grandma from realizing something!
Waw! So great !
Cleo hopes that this time nothing worrying will happen.
Sofia asking pretty awful questions after getting to their house.
"I want to see how your husband decorates your bridal suite. If it's not good, I'll file a complaint. But if it's good, then I will give praise. So, can you show it?" exclaimed Sofia with a big smile.
Cleo had become hot and cold.
The bridal suite? Did they have!?
Cleo knows that Harry has told Dirga to take care of their room properly. But they hadn't even set foot in the house once they came home from abroad. Because they went straight to grandma's house for practical reasons. Now, grandmother already wanted to know?
Cleo glanced at Harry.
Gave a code to respond to Sofia's words. And started to feel anxious. Cleo didn't mean to doubt Dirga's work. But didn't Harry say that Dirga hadn't confirmed anything?
Then, why can Harry just took it easy?
Did he and Dirga have inner contact? Cleo cursed in her heart. Tried to reply to Sofia politely and smiled brightly.
"Of course, Grandma! Why not!" She exclaimed confidently and did not want to care about what happened later.
Not long after, they finally reached Harry's house. Took out all their suitcases and started to step into the house. Sofia looked around.
This was the third time Sofia had ever come to this house. After coming for the first time since this house was built and occupied for the first time by Harry two years ago.
Then for the second time, when she barged in to check on the man's condition one year ago when she found out that her grandson had a secret lover but never told her family. Sofia became so curious and wanted to check out his house.
But did not find any signs inside. So, Sofia thought Harry was not really serious about what he said at the time.
Sofia again wanted to match Harry with the young girls of her choice.
But, Harry always refused her offer. And ended with his grandmother's tantrum in the hospital.
Harry finally came up with the idea to hire a woman to marry him!
Sofia literally can't stop thinking with that line of thought.
Did Harry think that if he got married then all things would be okay?
Sofia gently massages her forehead. Felt that this was not the time for her to complain because she still had to pretend.
Sofia thinks her grandson's wedding must be as real as possible.
With a big smile and a definite step, Sofia sat down on the sofa in the living room to relax for a moment.
Ane who saw that her mistress had come, immediately served a drink for her and Daniar.
Responding with a friendly smile, Sofia greeted Ane.
"Long time no see you, Ane! Are you healthy?" Sofia asked casually. Ane immediately nodded.
Sofia returned to asking.
