Ashley Sky Workspace
"How do you know Michel's here, baby?" ask Haris confused.
"Daddy wears Hugo Boss Man Perfume, Opa Ashley wears Dior Sauvage while Michel wears Versace Eros perfume. Since I was blind, I strengthened my other senses." Gemini raised her face to Haris. "Where's Michel? Is he sitting in front of opa?"
"Can you see?" ask Haris to hope.
"Yes Dad, wearing an inner eye" she chuckled in a bitter tone. "I was just counting on Daddy. Oh, please take me standing next to Opa, Dad."
Haris held her hand while hugging Gemini walking towards Ashley sitting down. Ashley clasped her grandson's hand.
"Gem, Opa salut you can distinguish the smell of each perfume" said Ashley amazed.
"No Opa, I'm just hapal fragrant perfumes including Mommy's perfume and Aunt Fayza's." Gemini turned towards Michel who was sitting down. "I can't see you, Signor de Luca. What are you doing in my Opa house?"
Michel looked at Gemini gently. "Sono venuto qui solo per dirti che voglio sposarti..."
"Huh? Whahuh? You came here to marry me?" gemini is stuck. "What's the reason? If you feel sorry for me, you better get out of here Signor de Luca!"
"No, Gemini. I've been interested in you ever since we met at Marsala and the plan is that once you get back to Palermo from Melbourne, I'd like to ask you to be my lover. I've been in love with you since we had our first dinner but I haven't dared to reveal... Gem, I've told your father and your opinion that I will be with you for the rest of my life, no matter what your condition is, and I will try to make you see again..." michel said feelingly. "I know apologies aren't Gem enough, but I beg you... I'm sorry."
Ashley and Haris looked at Michel with unreadable faces. Ashley himself like seeing Hideo in Michel only difference the Italian man came with a condition not to play marriage like Hideo.
Gemini stared blankly at the sound Michel was in. He was shocked by Michel's unexpected statement.
"Gemini, it's all coming home to you, baby. You can refuse if you don't want to get married by force." Ashley held her grandson's hand.
"Gpa... Can Gemini talk to Signor de Luca?" Gemini turned towards Ashely.
Ashley stood up then patted her grandson's cheek gently. "Whatever your decision, Opa will always support you."
Haris looked at her in-laws with a puzzled look. "Pa, would you allow Gemini to be with him?" ask Haris in Indonesian.
"Papa believes Gemini can think more wisely, Ris. We're out, let them talk to each other." Haris helps Ashley walk after the middle-aged blue-eyed man had kept his glock in a drawer.
Ashley walked up to Michel and said "Qualunque siano le decisioni e le richieste dei Gemini, spero che tu possa accettarle (whatever Gemini's decision and requirements are requested, the statement read, I hope you can take it )."
Michel just nodded. Ashley and Haris came out of the workspace.

Gemini groped the chair where Ashley was sitting and sat down. His face was directed to where Michel was sitting because Gemini had memorized the layout of his ops workspace. The advantage of Gemini is that he has photographic memory that can be remembered with just one look.
Photographic memory is the ability to remember events, images, numbers, sounds, smells, and other things in great detail. The memory that has been recorded in the brain can then be easily retracted whenever the information is needed. Gemini never told his family about this ability, only the Star knows.
No wonder Gemini has perfumes, the layout of Ashley's house, her house in Jakarta, her apartment.
"Grand..."
"What do you mean, Signor de Luca?! I'll tell both Opa and my Daddy that you..."
"Ti amo tanto (i love you so much)."
Gemini gawking. "What?"
"I love you, Gemini. Maybe I was attracted to you when you had dinner with Iris. Remember I raised a glass to you..."
"To be honest, I have no intention of harming anyone, especially you! I can't hurt you and I really... I'm sorry for being so careless and hurting you... "
"Stop apologizes Signor de Luca."
"I will continue to apologize for knowing my sin is unforgivable." Michel stood up and walked towards the seated Gemini. Gemini who has been equipped with martial arts from a small, be alert when feeling the movement of the only person in the room. The girl turned her Opanya seat and waited for Michel to approach her while kneeling before her.
"Gemmini... I beg of you... Would you like to be with me? I won't impose my rights when we get married. I want to protect you, Gem. I will accompany you if surgery is needed, or eye graft is as good as your eyes... I won't..." Michel holds the hand of Gemini.
"Are you sure? I'm not gonna make your life quiet, Signor de Luca." Gemini can't see but he knows the direction of his interlocutor.
"I've established my heart Gem... If my request you accept, whatever your attitude I will accept Gem."
In his heart Gemini does not want to marry a man who makes him disabled like this but when else to make the man live in hell like he now can not complete all the projects he has prepared. Moreover, the man gave himself up and was willing to accept all treatment from him.
Gemini smiles in their hearts. I won't make it very easy, Signor de Luca.
"Grand..."
"I'll think about Signor de Luca first. How long will you stay in New York?" ask Gemini.
"I'll stay here until you give me the answer."
Gemini nodded. "Come in three days. I'll give you the answer."
***
After Michel de Luca said goodbye and left the Sky family home, everyone was there waiting for Gemini's answer.
"How's Gem? What's your decision?" ask Bayu curious.
"I've asked him to come here in three days."
"Don't tell me you want to marry her Gem!" said Freya in a high tone.
"He gave himself to me. And I'll make him live in hell!" gemini's reply growled. "He won't be calm while staying with me!"
Fayza and Bayu looked at each other.
"Gemini, say the same Opa. What are you planning?" asked Ashley who could only stroke her chest hearing her grandson's decision.
"I'll marry her until I can see! Aren't Oom Joey and Mas Sammy trying? As soon as I can see, I'm out of the life of a Michel de Luca!"
Freya and Haris could only sigh deeply. Oh my daughter!
