Rifky was in his office at ten in the morning. Later in the afternoon he will fly abroad for his business trip while avoiding Devi and her parents until he finds a way to thwart her parents' matchmaking.
" Nick, did you get what I told you?" Rifky.
" Avready, Boss. Wait a few more days until all the evidence is gathered. I can't wait to wrap them up and put them in the trash." said Nicko.
" All right, you take care of everything. I'm gonna be gone for three days, make sure they're destroyed, not left."
" Ready, Boss. It's an easy matter, all my men are moving fast."
" I just don't want Medina involved with this, Nick."
" Did the girl accept your love?"
" Of course, no woman can resist a Rifky Mahendra."
" Cihh.. You're so arrogant!" cycad Nicko.
Rifky repeatedly turned the chair he was sitting on without intending to finish the files on his desk. His mind was currently only on his favorite girl who might be at school. He saw the photos of his girl when he was with her at that time.
" Mr, why smile - smile yourself? Less than an ounce, huh?" nicko Ledek.
" Whatever you want to say, my heart is happy now." said Rifky with a smile.
Just this time Nicko saw Rifky looking very happy. His face is radiant - a special series of people who are kasmaran. He was also happy to see his best friend could smile freely as if he did not have a burden.
" Nick, prepare all my needs that will be taken out of the country. Just put it in the car later, I don't want the woman to come in here and make things worse."
" Look easy, Boss. Isn't there a dress here that can be taken out of the country, so there's no need to go back to the apartment."
" Yes, just prepare the file. I'll pack my clothes first so I can go right away."

It's been three days Rifky's been abroad. Dozens of times his mother contacted him but never answered by Rifky. He already knew the purpose of the woman who had given birth to him was to aggressively contact him at the end of this.
" Why didn't Medina call me? Did he forget he had a girlfriend?" grouse Rifky.
Rifky actually wants to go home to Indonesia soon, but his work is still not finished as well. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you can go home and meet your favorite girl.
" Calis baby, don't you miss me? Why is your phone not active? Your sentence should have been finished yesterday." - Rifky.
Now Rifky is resting at the hotel because it's night. The longing deepened when his favorite girl could not also be contacted. While looking at the photo of his lover, suddenly someone knocked on the door of his room. Rifky wondered why anyone would know of his whereabouts, and he never told anyone. With curiosity, Rifky opened the door of his room.
" Hey... Rifky." greet a woman in her sexy clothes.
" Vii...? What are you doing here?" rifky asked in shock.
Rifky really did not expect that the woman he avoided the most could be in front of him. Rifky was cold and did not want to look at the woman's face at all.
" Rifky, I happen to be having business in the country and staying at this hotel as well. Last afternoon I accidentally saw you coming out of this room" Devi said in a long voice.
" Oh so, what do you want to do here now? Go then! I'm gonna take a break." Get rid of Rifky.
Rifky already knows if Devi's lying. Surely he told people to spy on him because Rifky left the hotel early in the morning and came home late at night, how Devi could see him out of the room during the day.
" Rifky, wait! I have something to talk to you about,"
" Next time, I'm tired of needing a break."
Rifky immediately closed the door of his room hard without thinking if the woman was still standing in front of him. Rifky was getting upset because his mother had gone too far in her personal affairs.
" Aakkhhh...! Basic j*l*ng, how dare he appear before me!" furious Rifky.
Rifky immediately contacted Nicko who was in Indonesia. Surely his assistant knew why the woman could come to the hotel room he was in.
( "Hello, assalamu'alaikum Boss." )
" Now, Nick."
( "What's the night like this phone night, Rif? Is there a problem there? )
" Nick, why is Devi here? Did you tell him I was here?"
( "Time' anyway, Rif? I never told anyone including your parents." )
" Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
(God, Rifky, since when did I betray you!" )
" It's not like I doubt you, Nick. But that woman was in front of my room just now."
( "Yes already, it looks like he's following you from here. Be careful with her, she's a cunning woman who can do all kinds of things. From now on beware of outside food, I'm sure he's always around you." )
" All right, tomorrow I'll be home after the meeting."
( "Rif, all the evidence has been gathered. You better take Devi home with you." )
" Why should we be together?"
( "Let's not be suspicious, be kind for a while before you part..." )
" Damn...! You want to prank me?"
("Hehehee. Anyway, we'll expose the Devi family's rot when you get home." )
("Wa'alaikumsalam." )
Rifky closed his phone call and laid his body on the bed. It seems like it's too late to call her favorite girl. But the increasingly passionate longing made him impatient to hear the voice of his lover.
Rifky tried to call Medina's phone. Active, but no answer. Rifky was afraid of something happening with his favorite girl that made him never able to calm down when far apart.
" Dear, where are you going?" pissed Rifky.
When Rifky was about to throw his phone on the floor in annoyance, suddenly the flat object in his hand rang. Rifky immediately smiled when he saw the name 'favourite girl' listed on his phone screen.
" Assalamu'alaikum, sister's favorite girl. Where are you from, dear calis?"
(" Wa'alaikumsalam. Sorry yes, brother. It was noon Dina there was a short activity at the market." )
" What activities, baby? Don't be weird again or your sister will marry you tomorrow!"
( "O God, brother. What the hell is that talking? Who does the weirdo - weird." )
" Oh yes, indeed this sister's favorite girl there are activities in the market?"
( "Mmm.. soon will be the month of Ramadan, so Dina and other friends want to hold activities in the market Mushola. Maybe like learning to read the Qur'an or study so that those who are there can live a more useful life. Dina has coordinated with ustadz in this village and he is ready to fill his tausiyya later." )
" Good then, easy - hopefully the event went smoothly and many pilgrims were present. Later the show runs out, baby let's all open together there."
(" Open together? Where's the food from, brother? We're not looking for a donor." )
" Be calm, then the brother of the donor. Let's take care of Mita's aunt tomorrow, keep the message on her mother Adam's catering."
(So, really, you want a donation to open together?" )
" Yes, honey. The work of this brother will not run out if only for the event open together and your livelihood."
(" Hmm. It's up to you to say what. Uh, brother when's he coming home?" )
" Hmm... why? Are you missing the same brother?"
( "No, Dina's just a matter of course." )
" Kangen is okay too. Precisely brother is very happy because he feels missed by the same people who are dear brother. Brother misses you too, baby. Brother will be home after the business with Devi is done."
( "Sister - be careful there, stay alert huh? Sometimes people who are very close to us can betray us. What can help us is ourselves, do not be rash in making decisions." )
" Yes, honey. Thank you for reminding brother, pray that all this business will be finished quickly and we can meet again soon."
( "Yes already, Dina sleep first huh? It's night, tomorrow it's school." )
" Yes, dear Calis. Good night, dear sister, I love you..."
( "I love you too, handsome brother... Assalamu'alaikum," )
" Na'alaikumsalam."
Rifky smiled again after talking to his girlfriend. The heart that had once held the anger due to the arrival of Devi, now seemed to just walk out after hearing the voice of her favorite girl.

Medina was at the Mushola market after school. He had asked his father for permission to hold Ramadan activities in the market.
" Mey, what time's the show starting tomorrow?" ask Ririn.
" After ashar, you will open together here." replied Medina.
" Aren't there any donors who gave me food, Mey?" ask Adam.
" There is, perhaps, a fortune for them through the activities we hold." replied Medina with a smile.
" Maybe also tuh, surely they are more eager to teach." said Bayu.
" It's not them, but you're the most excited if there's food." - Johan.
" Of course, that windfall must not be denied." Bayu said.
Until the eve of Ashar they just finished discussing the activities of Ramadan which will start tomorrow afternoon. Adam will make flyers that will be distributed to traders in the market. Medina tells Jefri to secure the event later.
" Mey, is this her every day or what?" ask Ririn.
" No, every Friday. But if for children learn to teach it every day other than Friday." replied Medina.
" Okay, good idea...! Hopefully our activities can be carried out smoothly. Bless all of us and benefit the hereafter..."
" Amijin...!"
