Rista is now in her boyfriend's office. He showed a beautiful smile in front of the man. Post-incident two days ago in the mall did not make the relationship between the two tenuous.
"What are you calling me?" ask Rista spirit.
"Please sit!" Darren being formal made the woman frown.
Rista pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her boyfriend who was blocked by the desk.
Darren thrust a piece of paper in an envelope to his lover.
"What's this?" ask Rista.
"You're fired!" Darren said with a forced tone.
"What?" Rista. "What's my fault?" tanyakanya.
"The company no longer needs you!"
"You're not kidding, are you?" Rista looked at the man.
"I'm not kidding Miss Rista" he replied.
"Why is this so?" Rista asked with trembling lips.
"From now on pack your things, the salary will be transferred immediately" explained Darren.
"I don't understand any of this, Darren don't joke" he said.
"I'm not kidding Miss Rista, please leave this building!" Darren said without looking at the woman.
Rista stood up and walked over to her lover who was on his back. "You fired me, because of my grandfather's past?"
"Keep away from me!" Darren said firmly.
Rista who heard him snorted in shock. A moment of silence then he rushed out of the study. Rista tried to wipe away her tears that started to drip. He walked quickly to his room and tidied up his belongings. Friends who were one room with him approached him.
"Where are you going?" ask one of them.
Rista tried to smile, "I have to go back to the village."
"Rista, your career is on the rise. You want to leave him," said the other.
"There's something I have to work out there and it takes a long time" he told a lie.
Rista hastened to collect his work items and say goodbye to some of his friends and then he left.
Sella, who was at the reception, ran over to her best friend who walked hurriedly towards the entrance of the building. "Rista, where are you going with these things?"
"I don't work here anymore" he replied with a sad face.
"Why?"
"After work, we meet and explain everything" Rista quickly left the building.
Rista walked outside the building made the employees who passed by him feel confused and guess what happened. For a moment stopped he then looked back at the tall and luxurious building for a while, then continued his footsteps.
Meanwhile after her lover left her room, Darren dropped her body she scooped her face roughly. Her tears did not drop, "I'm sorry!"

A few hours ago when we finished dinner....
"You must end your relationship with Rista!" devan.
"What's the matter, Pa?"
"His grandmother hates us, including you, a lot" Devan replied.
"Pa, it's just a misunderstanding" he said.
"No, it's not a misunderstanding. Rista's grandfather who made my future wife who is now your real mother pass out. We reported it to the authorities and arrested him and now his wife has come to avenge her through her grandson" Devan said.
Clarissa who was next to her husband was silent, she wanted to say but the man forbade her.
"Pa, but I'm sure Rista can't possibly have bad intentions for us" he said.
"Whether or not, Papa doesn't want you to continue with him" Devan said.
"Pa, I love Rista so much!"
"But, Papa doesn't want you to be in a relationship whose family has a dirty and vengeful heart. We shouldn't be the ones who get hurt, not them."
"Try to forgive her, Pa." Please Darren.
"No, her grandmother doesn't approve of your relationship. How can you have such a relationship? It could be that your lover would rather have his family than you and hurt you."
"Pa, I believe Rista isn't like that!"
"Well, if you choose your lover. Leave this company and this house and go with her!" Devan said firmly.
"Why did Darren leave, Van?" ask Clarissa.
"I don't want to have a child who doesn't look like him!" devan looked at his son.
"Vane...."
"Now you choose your parents or that girl!" Devan made a choice.

Rista came home in a taxi, so much so that she walked quickly to her room and dropped her body on the bed shedding her unstoppable tears.
Elisha who saw his daughter carrying so much office supplies followed him into the room but the door was locked, he knocked and called her name.
"Mom, I don't want to be disturbed today!" he said in a loud voice from his room.
"All right, son!" elisha said, and then he continued his work.

Rista had been in his room for 3 hours. But not out. Lunch until he missed, it made his mother more curious what happened to him.
"Rista, can you come in?" Elisha knocked on the door slowly.
Rista also opened it to look her face moist with reddened eyes.
"Why you?" Elisha looked worried.
Rista hugged her mother and cried again.
"What's going on?" ask Elisha.
"I'm fired, Mom!" answer with isak.
"Why fired?"
"I don't know the exact reason" he replied. "I'm sure it's because of Grandma's behavior towards Aunt Clarissa that Darren is mad at me!" said sobbing.
Elisha tried to hold back his tears from falling.
"Mom, we need to move out of here. I'm not strong if I continue in this city" he said.
"Yes, we're moving. Maybe this is the best way for you, you are not a match with him," said Elisha. "We will not return to the village but to another city again" he continued.
Rista nodded slowly.
Elisha wiped away his daughter's tears with his fingers.
A message notification came into her phone, Rista opened it but she narrowed her eyes as she wiped the round crystal clear on her cheek.
"Why?" ask Elisha.
"Darren transferred some money to me and quite a lot," replied Rista.
"What money?"
"So he said he'd send me money, but it's a big deal, ma'am."
"How much?"
"My eyes are for two years" replied Rista.
"That's your severance? You've only been working there for a few months, what's that as his apology to you?"
"Come, Ma. I'll give you the money back. I don't want to feel indebted to him" explained Rista.
"Yes, Son. That's better," Elisha agreed to her daughter's remark.
"Later in the afternoon I'll meet Sella, Mom."
Elisa nodded.

After work, Sella met her best friend at a cafe not far from where the woman lived.
Rista was already sitting waiting for him with a sad face.
Sella hugged her best friend when she got to the cafe. "What's really going on?"
"I don't know why he fired me" replied Rista.
"Why didn't you ask her?"
"I've asked him, he says that the company doesn't need him anymore. Though I did work with professionals and sales also increased," he said.
"Did she know that your grandmother attacked her mother at the mall?" Sella tried to guess.
"He knows, I think he knows my grandmother's past, too."
"Your grandmother's past? What connection?"
"Said my mother, my grandfather had a beating on Aunt Clarissa on the set and made her rushed to the hospital after that the President reported it to the authorities and detained her," said Rista. His mother explained everything that happened. "Because the grandfather was held, the grandmother became often crying and made the baby she contained died before birth. Grandma always reasoned that grandfather accepted the job because it was to finance their living needs and the cost of my mother's junior high school" he continued.
"I didn't think your grandfather had any problems with the Artama family" he said. "Your grandfather must have done it because he told someone to," he continued to guess.
"Yes, he was asked by an artist. You want to know who it is?"
Sella nodded.
"Natasha Daniel's mom."
"What?" Sella looked surprised. "But, why would the Artama family allow Natasha to be its brand ambassador while you're not?" tanyakanya.
"I don't know either, probably because my grandmother already dared to slap Miss Clarissa."
"It can be," he said. "Then what are you gonna do? Looking for a job here or what?" his pedicab.
"I'll go back to the village, I'll forget everything" replied Rista. "I beg you, please return the car to Darren and this too!" He thrust a medium-sized box in a plastic tape wrap.
"All right, I'll help you get it back" Sella said.
"Thank you, Cell."
"I'll ask Mr. Yuno to help me get all this back" Sella said.
"And these are the vehicle papers" Rista handed over the car ownership papers.
Sella accepted, "I still wish you were here!" with his sad face.
"I will tell you but never tell anyone" please Rista.
"Yes." Yeah."
The two hugged each other and cried, Rista then rushed off to leave the cafe.
