Man is not the owner of life. No man has always achieved his will. Today cheers celebrate success, tomorrow the day after tomorrow may cry lament failure. When they meet, they soon separate. This second was proud of what he had, the next second was sad because of his loss. So, whatever episode you go through right now, calm your heart. Peace and happiness belong only to Allah SWT, which is given to those who are patient and faithful.
Well, now we continue the story of a woman who was never desperate to find and get real happiness in her life.

"Honey, later I go home a bit maleman, I have to visit several locations to introduce the latest electronic products in some areas" said Bryan before leaving for work.
"Have you gone with him?" clara asked, Clara began to feel jealous but she did not want to show her childish attitude in front of Bryan.
"Yes Ara, but Riko also stayed with me." looked gently at his wife's face.
"You rest Ara, I've asked Santi to work here, so my wife won't be tired anymore."
"Thank you Di, you know very well my condition right now."
"I should always think of you, baby. Dah... I went to the office first." don't forget Bryan kissed the wife's forehead and hugged her for a while.
"Be careful at..." Clara waved as Bryan started his car. Bryan smiled and waved.
Today Bryan overtime because he had to go to several regions or companies to promote the latest products from his company, and through this promotion Bryan will get a very profitable sales turnover more than usual.
After the promotion, Bryan returned to the office because he had to sign some important files that could not be delayed signatory.
"Boss, I'm done, do I need to wait for the boss?" said Riko as he entered the boss's room.
"No need for Rik, you go home first." said Bryan, Riko also saw that there was still a lot that Bryan had to do it was impossible for him to wait for his boss to finish.
"Alright boss, I go home first." said Riko.
Bryan walked out after finishing his duties, his body felt very tired and wanted to go home immediately, surely his wife and child were asleep waiting for him, he thought so so Bryan undo his intention to call Clara.
But when Bryan walked out of the office, his steps stopped to see the figure of a girl who was familiar to him.
The girl approached...
"Angelica...!!!" Bryan thought Angelica had gone home, but she was still in the same building as Bryan.
"Bryan.. My car broke down" he said, Bryan also offered to check Angelica's engine.
"Your car has to be towed, I can't fix it there's a pretty severe engine malfunction" Bryan said casually.
"Duh... night is also late." said Angelica he looks like a confused person.
"Let me order a taxi online" Bryan said, hitting his taxi number, but suddenly Angelica held back the response.
Bryan looked at her so cynically that Angelica let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry, you don't have to bother calling a taxi" he said.
"Well, let me go" Bryan said.
"Bryan wait.. Can you take me?" Angelica pleaded with him deeply.
Bryan seemed to think...
"Ok well, since you're my business partner, I'll take you, but never take my kindness as a form of attention" Bryan said.
At least Angelica was happy, slowly he was getting easier to break into Bryan's heart that Bryan could not realize.
In the middle of the journey...
"I'm hungry, have you eaten?" said Angelica melted the atmosphere along the way they just kept quiet and Bryan was so cold there was not the slightest smile on his face.
"Not yet." answered Bryan briefly.
"We stopped by for a while to my father's restaurant, it just so happens that the restaurant is not far from here" he said with a pretentious manner made-up.
"Emmm..." Bryan thought there was no harm in him stopping for a while rather than holding back hunger because all day did not have time to eat pursued dense tasks.
"You yes, please, take it as a sign of my gratitude, and you don't have to drive me home" said the Angelica.
"OK, all right, I don't have to bother dropping you off." Bryan was relieved to hear it, so after eating Bryan could go straight home.
.

Bryan's heart begins to waver as he continues to meet the woman he once was, the woman who once filled the emptiness of his heart, although Bryan had never loved her and had rejected their matchmaking but Angelica had made her day excited while waiting for the day of her meeting with Clara.
And Angelica was also the one who had taught Bryan about doing business, so Bryan could control the business very well as now.
He said love is not...
He said he hated it too...
Bryan was just starting to feel good about Angelica, because she was very suitable to be invited to talk about business.
So much that they talk about, they laugh together, enjoy a meal together, while occasionally discussing their moments that are funny enough to remember.
Finally Bryan realized when his cell phone alram rang, showing at 12:30 pm which is usually the time Bryan used to perform tahajud prayers.
"Sorry Angel, I have to go home late at night, my wife and son are waiting for me." Bryan got up from his seat.
Angelica drove Bryan forward. Suddenly Angelica holding Bryan's hand made Bryan a little surprised to get treatment from Angelica.
"Angelica, your hand." - softly Bryan tried to let go, again Angelica held him.
"Peace here safe, no one will see us like this" he said, with a gaze that seemed to be filled with magic.
Inexplicably Bryan was so influenced that he let Angelica walk while holding his arm with a smile that Angelica kept giving Bryan, and before long they reached the front of the restaurant.
"Sorry yes I can only take you to the restaurant" said Bryan, his arm still held by Angelica.
"Yes, thank you for coming by."
"I'm home first, it's midnight."
"Other times come by my house too." Angelica ran towards the door of her restaurant, her smile so wide looking at Bryan.
Bryan smiled and gave a thumbs up, a sign he was ok.
He rushed home on the way he kept remembering his encounter with Angelica which left him speechless. Though previously Bryan continued to avoid the form of the woman.
"Assalamualikum, Ara, I'm home." Bryan opened the door but got no answer. He knows now his wife and son must have slept considering it was 1 pm.
Bryan headed to his room and found his wife's son asleep.
He also cleansed himself and carried out the tahajud, then laid his body beside the baby.
Ting...
Bryan's phone rang some incoming notifications. He smiled at the name that sent him the message on whatsapp. Yes, Bryan and Angelica had exchanged wa numbers while at the restaurant earlier.
Secretly Clara opened her eyes slowly, she heard Bryan's cell phone continue to ring, not usually her husband's phone was very busy at night.
Clara glanced at her husband playing with his own smile on his phone, but Bryan did not realize his wife was awake.
There is a sense of suspicion in the mind of Clara because Bryan usually comes home late at night and cool himself with his cellphone. Bryan used to always tell Clara when she was coming home at midnight, but tonight there was nothing, going back and forth and acting strange.
Clara rose and brand.
"Auhhh... my stomach.." Clara's whine pretended to be in pain, and Bryan was shocked to keep his phone under the pillow as soon as he heard Clara's voice.
"Darling, you're awake?" Bryan was sweating because he thought Clara wouldn't wake up.
"Is anyone sick?" tanyakanya.
"No, the baby kicked my stomach."
"Oh thank goodness" he said as if he had no worries at all.
Then Bryan lay down again and began to get busy again with his phone, Clara's gaze began to be saddened to see the strangeness that Bryan showed.
"Have you been home long?" ask Clara gently.
"Had it." she answered briefly.
Clara looked at Bryan's face so busy with her phone that she didn't look at Clara's face.
"You've eaten, Di?" Clara tried to think positively.
"It's been." again short and cold.
"Oh, thank God, let's go to bed, tomorrow you can have bad luck."
"Sleep."
Again and again Bryan's cold voice stung Clara's heart and ears.
Clara believes Bryan is hiding something from her.
He turned his back to Bryan.
Clara feels claustrophobic seeing Bryan who is usually sweet and very considerate of her, suddenly turning cold and indifferent to her.
Bryan laughed several times reading the message on his phone, making Clara's heart ache, tight to the point of difficulty breathing.
Without Clara noticing her tears falling soaked the pillow she was sharing.
Clara not only felt Bryan changed, but Bryan instead looked like a brother who was being drunk with romance.
Occasionally Clara had a breath of restraining her heart, while Bryan even giggled with his cellphone seemed very cool. Until finally Clara chose to close her eyes by holding all the pain in her heart and still trying to think positive.
