" Non Ara's.. Don't need anything? " question bi Darmi saw Ara who was standing in front of the door of her room.

" Bi Darmi what are you doing? " ask Ara

" It looks good at lunchtime like this eating chicken soto" said Ara

" O non Ara wants chicken soto, yes let auntie make "

" No need to bi. We just look outside as we go for a walk, Ara is also bored at home and continues to "give Ara.

" Yes, then the aunt changed clothes first "

" Okay bi Ara will also change clothes, aunty don't take long" said Ara then quickly passed to her room.

After changing clothes Ara and bi Darmi among the pack Mamat to find a soto chicken shop. After getting it the three of them sat down together to enjoy the chicken soto.

" Any ya bi" said Ara scooping the last gravy in her bowl.

" Yes "bi Darmi replied.

" Non Ara eat it fast" said Mr. Mamat saw Ara who had finished eating.

" It's good after all sir " said Ara laugh "Ara come out first yes, I wait for you outside just ya "

" Yes non, you also want to finish" said Mr. Mamat and ate quickly.

" Eating does not need to hurry sir just relax, I also want to sit down first. You both enjoy your time, Ara will not interfere " said Ara teasingly.

" Apaan is non" said bi Darmi smiling

On his way out of the shop Ara saw an ice cream truck across the street right in front of the chicken soto shop.

" It looks good" said Ara who then intends to buy ice cream.

" Hey Ara.." greet someone.

" You?? " said Ara saw Rafael who out of nowhere was suddenly beside her.

" We meet again" said Rafael smiling but not responded by Ara who instead went to avoid it.

" Stop avoiding me" said Rafael holding Ara's hand.

" What are you doing? " ara shouted, but Rafael pulled him more and pushed him into his parked car not far from him.

" Road sir." said Rafael to his driver when they were in the car.

" What are you doing, I'm going down" Ara told Rafael "Stop sir, stop.. Sir stopped. " cried Ara tried to open the car door but could not.

" Stop yelling if you want me to put you down" said Rafael, making Ara stop her screams.

" What exactly do you want? " say Ara emotion.

" No, I just wanted to talk to you, but you kept avoiding me "

" But there's nothing I want to talk to you about, we have no business" Ara said

" But there's so much I want to tell you. It's good that you hear it first, then I promise to take you home" said Rafael.

" Then say "quickly, said Ara unhappy.

Ara then takes the phone from her bag, but Rafael quickly snatches it and throws it out of the car window.

" Are you crazy? " shouted Ara

" I don't want anyone to interfere when I'm telling a story" Rafael said.

" Are you sick? " said Ara annoyed

" Yes here it hurts so much that it feels like I want to go crazy for not being able to endure the pain" Rafael said holding his chest.

" Stop..I want to go down. " said Ara crying.

" Hey why are you crying, I didn't even hurt you" Rafael said frantically

" You're out of your mind.. What do you really want, do you want to kill me? " said Ara in fear, making Rafael laugh.

" Your mind is too far away. I told you I just wanted you to hear me, after that I promised to take you home without touching you let alone kill you "he said laughing.

" You'd better stop crying if you don't want me to kill you" she laughed. " It turns out that you are so afraid of death" said Rafael, looking at Ara who quickly wiped away her tears.

" How could I not like you if you were so adorable like this. Why should Ibra be the lucky guy who gets you "inner Rafael

" Well maybe I will tell you about my love story first" said Rafael who was not so concerned by Ara.

Rafael then told Ara early he met a girl he liked a few years ago. Without Ara knowing that the girl Rafael meant was her.

At that time Ara was still Junior High while Rafael had studied abroad. During his college holidays he returned to Indonesia and that day he accompanied his father to Jakarta to meet his papa friend who was none other than Ara's father.

When their parents were busy telling stories, Ara came home from school to greet her father and Jordan. Seeing that Rafael also raised his hand hoping that Ara would regret it, but Ara instead passed by without turning to him, Rafael laughed a little embarrassed to see her being ignored, but he also felt funny. At lunch time they ate the foursome, Rafael continued to look at Ara who was sitting in front of him, although Ara did not pay much attention to him and only occasionally looked at him. At that time he thought the little girl in front of him was so sweet and funny.

After his meeting that day Rafael had never again met with Ara because they lived in different cities, plus Rafael who studied abroad.

After a few years of completing his studies Rafael returned to Indonesia. One day he attended a friend's event in Jakarta. When he stopped by the supermarket to buy something, he saw Ara who was wearing a high school uniform. For a moment they stared at each other but it seemed that Ara did not recognize him. Rafael does not stop paying attention to Ara and follow Ara's steps until Ara comes out of the supermarket, until he himself forgets his purpose to enter the supermarket.

While driving his vehicle Rafael continues to think of Ara, imagining Ara's face which he thinks is getting more beautiful and looks more mature.

After returning from Jakarta he expressed his feelings to his father, asking his father to match him with Ara, but his father asked him to wait until Ara finished High School and he agreed.

But every day Rafael keeps thinking about Ara, until he decides to stay in Jakarta and open a business in Jakarta so that he can get closer to Ara. And a nightclub venture was his choice because his papa also had some of the same ventures in his city.

After living in Jakarta Rafael always followed Ara without Ara knowing, watching Ara's daily life from afar is a happiness for him. Her feelings get stronger when she finds out that Ara is not close to any man.

After Ara finished school Rafael urged his father to apply for Ara for him, but unfortunately Hartono refused him on the grounds that Ara wanted to go to college first. Finally Jordan gave understanding to Rafael and asked Rafael to wait again until Ara finished college. Although heavy but Rafael still agree.

Until almost two years of waiting, Rafael was impatient to wait, plus he often found Ara walking with his male friends, although they did not walk alone but still made Rafael jealous.

Finally Rafael decided to dare himself to come to Hartono. Rafael conveys his intention to propose to Hartono, and he also tells Hartono that he has liked Ara for a long time. Yet again Hartono refused. Rafael continues to give understanding to Hartono that he will not limit Ara's activities but Hartono still rejects him and says that until anytime Hartono will not marry his daughter with Rafael because Hartono does not like rafael's lifestyle that likes to drink and play with women. Although Rafael promised to let go of everything and change his lifestyle, still Hartono did not accept it.

" What do you think of my love story? " ask Rafael to finish the story.

" My opinion?? " ask Ara confused

" Yes, after hearing my story I'm sure you have your own opinion on what I'm going through" Rafael said

" But I." said Ara cut off because she heard the sound of Rafael's cell phone that sounded.

" Hello." said Rafael, picking up his phone.
