Zein and Mery's wedding is over. Guests have left the hotel ballroom. The atmosphere was very different from when the party took place, the remaining workers and servants were cleaning up the remnants of the party.
Nayla and Sandy had already finished meeting the news seekers accompanied by Adam and Heru. They answer every question asked, as long as the question is still asking general questions about them.
Their love story will become public consumption, Nayla must be prepared with it. From now on Nayla must familiarize herself with her life that will be in the spotlight. Can't be free like before.
The news about Sandy and Nayla has reached the ears of Wijaya's company employees. Inevitably they will be the main topic in the company starting tomorrow.
"We're dealing with it together" that's what Sandy always said to Nayla.
Nayla laid herself on the hotel's soft mattress after she finished cleaning herself and praying Isya. All his family's staying at the hotel tonight.
Nayla one room with Citra. His eyes that would have been closed because he was so tired of opening back when Citra asked Nuno. He got up and leaned against the pillow on the wall of the mattress.
"Nay. I saw your nano attending the party tonight" Citra said sitting in front of Nayla.
"I also met him, Sister Silvia who rebuked me earlier when I was with Sandy into the ballroom" replied Nayla while holding back her sleepiness.
"How do you feel Nay" Imagra was curious because Nayla seemed to be very relaxed in responding to him.
"Today I met him at the lake in a normal place, I also introduced him to Hans" Nayla recalled yesterday's incident.
"Then?" The image is getting curious to know the story.
Nayla told Citra everything from the beginning they met, shared the story and the most important thing when Nayla realized that her feelings for Nuno had gone until Nuno left her and Sandy.
"I never thought, there the first time I felt love for her, now there too I feel my love for her is gone" Nayla recalled her story with Nuno.
"There are stories about me and Nuno when we were together, when we laughed and when there were wounds and tears" Nayla paused.
"I've finished that story Ci. Now I'm starting to open up a new story, a story about Lala and Hans" Nayla told Citra.
"I'm happy, everything's fine between you and Nuno. Happy start of your happiness with Sister Sandy Nay" Citra shed her happy tears and hugged Nayla tightly. Happy with the end of Nayla's love story
Nayla stretched Citra's embrace, looking at her best friend's face. Image hasn't told me anything about him and Alex.
"What about you?" Ask Nayla.
"Is Alex's sister feeling up to you?" Nayla wants to know the extent of Alex and Citra's relationship.
"I'm not sure Nay" Citra replied honestly.
"Sometimes she's warm, but suddenly also she's cold" Citra sighed.
"The ideal is not yet visible" continued Citra considering Alex's attitude to him.Sometimes Alex gives more attention to Citra, sometimes ordinary but sometimes he suddenly disappears.
"There is still plenty of time for you to get to know each other better, no need to rush" Nayla tried to give understanding so that Citra did not immediately give up.
The image is not a woman who easily likes and falls in love with men. Because it was when Citra said she liked Alex to Nayla. Nayla immediately thought of bringing the two closer together.
Citra recalls Nayla offering her work replacing Nayla at the Wijaya Company. Because they are studying in the same department, it's just that they are studying at a different campus.
"That's what I support" answered Nayla.
"At least if you work there, you can get to know Brother Alex Ci" he continued while embracing his best friend.
Nayla asked Citra to prepare her job application tomorrow, so that it can be taken directly by Nayla and submit it to HRD.
"But don't let brother Alek and brother Sandy know yes Nay" pinta Citra and get approval from Nayla.
The two friends ended their conversation and went back to lying down to rest their tired bodies all day. Close your eyes and fly to dreamland.
While in the other room, Alex could not close his eyes. He was worried about his own heart. On the one hand he liked Citra from the first time he met, but on the one hand he was afraid to open one secret that for several years he had kept himself. Even her parents and two best friends Sandy and Reyhan don't know about it either.
Alex ran down the hospital hallway, then into a room where the owner of his heart was. His legs instantly weakened when he saw that the one lying there was already covered in a white cloth. He opened the white cloth to convince who was there.
The beautiful face was silent, her face was pale white and cold, her red lips were now turning blue. Alex's tears flowed profusely when he saw the person who had been by his side for a year already stretched stiff. She kept shouting asking Nara to wake up.
"Ra.. baby, don't leave me, Ra.. wake up Ra...." Alex keeps trying to wake Nara up. He heard someone calling him.
"Lexi... Alex... Alex.." - Alex...." Sandy tried to wake Alex who kept shouting.
Alex rubs his face violently upon waking from a dream reminiscent of his past.
"What dream did you have to scream at me?" ask Sandy who sees Alex like a frightened person, her eyes red with tears.
"Who is Ra you call?" ask Sandy again.
Alex did not answer Sandy's question, he stood up and went into the bathroom. Sandy who saw it just fell silent and returned to lay her body.
"What's wrong with her" muttered Sandy up to her bed and pulled back the blanket and closed her eyes, resting her body to get fit again, because tomorrow she will go home to Bandung.
Alex stood in front of the bathroom sink glass, washed his face with running water. For a long time he had never dreamed about Nara. Instantly the bitterness of his past returns in memory. The loss of the one he loved kept him from closing his heart.
The presence of Citra shook the desire of Alex who continued to want to be alone. Alex was already trying not to think about Citra, trying to get away from the woman. But the more he wanted to stay away the more time they would meet again.
Moreover, he could see that there was an interest in Citra with him. Alex often unconsciously gives attention to Citra, but when he is aware of his state just like that he disappears away from Citra.
Long pondering in the bathroom finally Alex got out of there. Sandy was back asleep. Alex got into his sigle bed. He grabbed his cell phone on the nightstand. Open one by one the photos stored in the gallery. The cute face of the girl is smiling sweetly, as soon as Alex's face smiles and kisses the cheeks of chubi in the photo.
"The fire misses Dea" he murmured as he closed his eyes.
