Amanda was sobbing, she had nowhere to go. Some companies that he hoped could accept him as an employee there turned out to ignore him. And those people who have always cooperated with Rafaldi Group through Amanda as if they had never known him.
His hands clasped tightly at the wheel of his car, driving his vehicle towards the rural area where his biological family was. He was already impossible to settle in a city with this kind of situation. Wherever he went, people knew him and sneered at him with looks of disdain as if he was a lump of dirt.
Amanda drives her car with tears streaming down her cheeks. Sometimes he wiped his tears by hand. Her chest felt tight, her world was completely destroyed, and what made her even worse was her pregnancy. Everyone held their hands at him and shouted at him! Reza is enjoying his honeymoon with his wife.
‘Bigger! Goddamn bum! You promised you wouldn't touch that woman, Reza! What the fuck? You guys even went on a honeymoon? Do you really not want to take responsibility and admit the child in my womb? Geez....what should I do now?’ whispered Amanda's heart.
When he arrived at the intersection of the road leading to the village, he stopped his car and stared at the road while thinking. ‘Should I have an abortion? I don't have a job right now, if I get pregnant it'll be harder for me to get a job. Fuuhhhhhhhh! Why is everything like this? The Rafaldi family didn't even give me any money! They have many houses and apartments, what's wrong with giving me one apartment?’
Amanda grunts annoyed, ‘Arimbi! Udik that village! The more comfortable his life becomes and he can have whatever he wants! It was supposed to be me! I'm the one who's been enjoying all the luxury it's not Arimbi! That woman! Why is his life always lucky?’ Amanda breathed a rough sigh.
His mind goes back to remembering how Arimbi got back to the Rafaldi family. Since then everything felt different and slowly changed until his life ended like this.
Tok……
Someone tapped on the windshield of his car to break Amanda's daydream. He wanted to scold the man, but when he turned his head it was Adrian.
Amanda rolled down the windowpanes. “What's up?” ask with ketus.
“Do you want to spend the night here? Come home, mom and dad are waiting for you at home!”
“Hem....go first! I'll catch up.” replied Amanda re-raising her car glass. He looked at Adrian who was driving off his bike leaving Amanda.
He started the car engine and drove to his biological parents' house. ‘What am I going to do now? I don't have enough money to open a business! Looks like I should leave this place and move to another city or maybe abroad. Ck! Where can I go abroad with financial conditions like this?’

“Pak please slide to the left a little!” Joana gave instructions to workers who were installing paintings by Arimbi in the cafe room. Today Joana looks very cute wearing black lejing pants and a loose top in an abstract blue pattern. Her hair was curled randomly, her nude-colored makeup made her look fresh.
He had been busy since morning arranging the workers who were arranging the furniture in the cafe. The old house looks different now, it looks very clean with a page decorated with flowers and Joana also makes a pool and shower on the side of the house to add to the impression of nature which is an option for the concept of cafe.
The house has a fairly large yard, a page that was empty and there are only a few plants that now look beautiful. Joana designed a beautiful garden with the concept of old-school romance.
While the inside of the cafe, the walls filled with paintings and art by Arimbi add to the impression of a thick past. This combination of modern old school concepts is really very interesting.
“Do you want to go inside?”
“He is here or not?” the man asked back.
“There Sir. Looks like Miss Joana's still inside. Do I need to check again?”
“Not necessary. I'll check inside myself. You guys keep watch here.’ Dion's orders while taking the paperbag next to him. Then he got out of the car and stepped into the place. The workers turned their heads when they saw a man dressed in luxury coming. They see Dion coming in earlier and they think that the man may be Joana's boyfriend.
So no one asked. Dion stepped inside the cafe and circulated his gaze as his eyes caught the figure of a woman who was seen composing some decorations on the wall while giving instructions to workers. Dion kept staring at the woman from behind her black glasses.
The corner of her lips lifted, ‘Why does that woman look more and more cute? She never had a joke and dressed just like that.’ muttered continue to look at Joana while walking and standing behind Joana who still did not realize the presence of someone there. But the worker who had just placed the painting on the table looked up at Dion.
“Eh…..Mr.” he said then bowed his head saluting then passed.
The confused Joana turned her head and subconsciously touched her chest which suddenly thumped when she saw the man before her. “Eh.....make what you here?” tanyakanya.
“Do you have written a ban people can not enter here hem?” said Dion while thrusting a paper bag on Joana.
Joana stared at the paperbag without taking it, she was confused by Dion's yesterday-yesterday attitude was always harsh and rude to her. But today instead came carrying a paperbag, Joana scrunched her forehead then looked at Dion sharply.
“Mr Dion, didn't I promise to refund you? Do you intentionally want to press me again? Why did you give that to me? I don't want to owe you anything, Mr.” Joana shook her head against Dion's gift.
Dion is unhappy with Joana's rejection. He came there with a calm heart but it seemed like the woman had just ignited a fire. Dion approached and immediately held onto Joana's chin firmly making her grimace. “Ssshhhh....sick! Release!”
“I came here well to give this to you! I don't like rejection! Or....”
“I--iya. ak--i accept. Please let go, it hurts so much.” said Joana gave up and took the paperbag from Dion's hand. He did not see what the paperbag contained but when he saw the name of a store printed on the paperbag, Joana could already guess the contents.
‘Aiiiihhhhh what else does this guy want? Why is it always bothering me? Is he not satisfied with returning me? I need to talk to Arimbi and ask him for help to lend me some money. I have to return Dion's money so he stops bothering me.’ Joana whispered.
“Why are you quiet? Don't want to see what it contains?” said Dion then threw his body on the sofa and arbitrarily pulled Joana's hand so that he fell on Dion's lap.
“Ahhkk!” Joana wanted to get up but the man's hand was already hugging her waist firmly. Joana felt her face hot and blushing.
His breathing suddenly became congested, he opened his mouth to breathe air. His heart is beating faster. Everything makes Joana go crazy, she feels uncomfortable when she feels something hard right under her body. Joana belittles and curses Dion who seems to be doing it intentionally.
