Bandung, arborea,
Nala meticulously put some of her necessities into the bag. Occasionally check what to bring. Tomorrow Nala has started to work again, he has been absent from his job for too long.
“Udah all Nal?” Ray's sitting in a bed
“Udah, oya lu when to leave Ray?” Tanya Nala who just realized that her best friend was taking too long a vacation
“Tomorrow the day after, very late new nanyain” protest Ray
“ya sorry, new keingetan” Nala sat at the end of the mattress while taking some medicine and then drink it
“thinking what the hell is Nal sampe cave dilupain?” ray Goda
Ray's real question reminds Nala of Tama, some days he is not focused and thinking about what he will do to Tama.
“Lu himself how is Ray? From kemaren ngurung himself at home continued mada jengukin gua” Nala
“Ga need ngalihin issue deh” lazy Ray
“so, who used to tell?” Nala looked at Ray in front of her
“Lu lah, girl first” Ray memain play small display
“gender really lu Ray” ketus Nala
Ray smiled winning
“So? What happened to Nal?” Ray looked at Nala
Nala takes something on her dresser and gives it to Ray. Ray opens a jewelry box containing Tama's gift necklace.
“Tama shoot cave Ray” exclaimed Nala while probing want to know Ray's expression and response to him
Ray fell silent and gave the necklace to Nala
“Beauty the necklace.so, what's your decision Nal? Richly he's a good man” said Ray flat
“According to you she's a good person?” search Nala
“New cave several times met him Nal, hopefully he's a good person. Look sincere kok” Ray continued flatly
“Whatever your decision and be your happiness it will also be the happiness of Nal” cave he continued
Nala who heard Ray's response felt very sad, because Ray looks ordinary and not disturbed by Tama.
“Am I supposed to turn around?” nala Inner
Nala just smiled grieving in her heart
“So, you why Ray?” repossessing
“Hmm.. I’m fine Nal, the cave is only in the cape phase. I want to go home and stay here. It feels like four months is a long time to design everything there”, said Ray who hid the facts about his unrest these days.
“In a minute Ray, Just four more months to be patient” smile Nala
Both of them look at each other with feelings that are somehow and with each other's guesses.
“Hp lu sound Ray” over Nala
Ray stares at his phone and is surprised to find Adelia calling him
“Assalamualaikum” voice Adelia soft across there
“Wa’alaikumsallam, doctor Adelia what is it?” Ray pretended nothing happened
With her heart beating fast Adelia tried to organize her words to Ray.
“Doctor Ray, sorry if I interfered. May I ask when the doctor returned to Singapore?” adelia
“Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, chances are 7pm I have arrived. Can I help you?” answer Ray
“If possible can we meet doc? looks like there's something we should both talk about” Adelia continued.
Ray looked at Nala for a glance
“Well, later I will tell you if it has arrived there” Ray hangs up his phone while staring at Nala who looks indifferent.

Ray stared at the ring box while remembering the incident this morning when Tama with a happy face invited Nala to work.
For too long he left Nala alone here, it is only natural that there are new people who accompany the days of Nala.
Soon he put the ring back into the desk drawer when his mother called if his online taxi order had arrived to pick up.
“Bu, when you arrive in Singapore, Ray will meet with Adelia and discuss about this matchmaking.” said Ray
“ia son, speak well and do not even offend her. Say hello to Adelia ya”
Ray hugged his mother and went to the airport to return to Singapore.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ray arrived at the promised place to meet Adelia. I don't know what to say to Adelia.
Five minutes later the beautiful girl graciously greeted Ray and sat down in front of him.
“I will listen to what you will say first Adelia” After their order presented Ray also opened the conversation.
With hesitation and a bow Adelia emboldened herself
“First, I'm sorry for getting ahead of Ray's mas to meet but, I can't wait without certainty like this. Indeed without me to reveal it may be Ray has realized about what I feel so far. Indeed it is not only a sense of admiration for a friend” Adelia stopped for a moment to regulate her breath
“I really did not know the reality until a few days ago my parents gave the same news as what Ray's mother said.” Further
Ray breathed in deeply and turned to look at Adelia
“We both do not know about what our parents planned, you do not need to feel guilty Del.” said Ray
Adelia looked up at Ray and smiled
“It feels like if I am not happy with this matchmaking, I am very happy because it turns out mas Ray is a man who has been chosen by my parents and I am a woman chosen by Ray's parents." say Adelia's plan
"But, I can not deny that all this time Ray is too far for me to reach. I know that maybe it's not me who's in my heart Ray” smile Adelia
Ray stared at the woman in front of him
“I do not want to force anyone's heart to love me, I always hope there is someone who will be able to accept me and love me sincerely. Whatever your decision Ray, I will try to appreciate and accept it with sincere” face Adelia
“Adelia.” Ray's voice restrained
“Before I make a decision, if I may make this selfish request?” continued Ray
Adelia looked at Ray curiously
“If possible, I want to know you more. I don't want to act unfair” said Ray
Adelia's smile immediately expands to hear Ray's statement that she really did not expect. He thought Ray would just reject and ignore him, but he got a chance to get to know each other first.
“Of course. Thank you for considering it”strue smile Adelia
Some time talking Ray and Adelia also say goodbye to each home.
