“Mbak Ros can we talk for a minute? I want to explain the words that time.” Andi.
“What do you say I need to be careful with those around me?”
“Iya. The man I mean as the wolf in sheep's clothing is Sister Rosa's friend Karina. Ma'am needs to be careful with him.”
“Indeed why can you accuse Karina like that?”
Yesterday Rosalinda spent her time thinking about these words of Andi. As long as she tried to remember, Rosalinda could not find a reason why Karina would betray her best friend.
“Some time ago, I saw her together with Hermawan. I heard, he is one of Mbak's college friends who are chasing after Mbak Ros, but Mbak refused.” Obviously Andi.
“Where did you know Hermawan?” Ask Rosalinda wonder.
As short as his memory was, Rosalinda never told Andi about the whereabouts of Hrmawan, the man who had been chasing after him. Where did Andi know that?
“I know Arya, then some time ago I watched the race. There I met Hermawan who came with Karina. Not only Hermawan, but I also met Marcel there.”
Rosalinda was quite surprised to hear Andi's explanation just now. “There is no way Karina is close to Hermawan. He already knows that I don't like Hermawan. So, there's no way I'm Karina with Hermawan.” Rosalinda did not believe it.
Looks like Rosalinda and Karina's relationship is pretty close. Otherwise, it might be difficult for the woman to accept the fact that her friend has most likely betrayed her. Andi might as well if someone said that Brian would betray him. It must be hard to accept the words of this person.
“Widya was also there at that time. So, if there are two people who see that Karina came along with Hermawan at the race time, then surely Mbak can believe it, right? Wid, do you still remember the face of the girl who came to the race together with Hermawan first?” Ask Andi.
Widya who had been secretly observing Rosalinda was quite shocked when Andi mentioned her name. Fortunately, the two men did not know what he was doing. Widya was quite surprised why women like Rosalinda were contested. According to Widya, Rosalinda is not that pretty. So what makes women a snatch of men?
“Yes I remember the face of the girl who came with Hermawan. But, I don't know him. So, I can't tell if he's the guy you guys are talking about.” Widya.
“Then, does Mbak Rosa have a photo of Mbak's friend? Maybe Widya can compare it with the girl who came along with Hermawan in the racing area the other day.”
Hearing Andi's words, Rosalinda just pulled out her cell phone. He then searches for the whereabouts of Karina's photo on his phone. Rosalinda then showed me a picture of herself and her three best friends.
Rosalinda wanted to know if this girl along with Andi could find out firsthand who was Karina among the women in the photo. If he could directly point at Karina's photo, then what they said was true
“This is the girl who came to the race location with Hermawan the other day.” Widya said as she pointed at the woman in blue in Rosalinda's mobile screen.
An expression of disbelief was clearly visible on Rosalinda's face when she learned that Widya could guess correctly who was Karina in the photo.
“This, this is impossible. Why would he do that?”
“Hah.” Andi took a deep breath looking at Rosalinda's reaction like this. “I know it's hard knowing the person we trust turns out like this. For the next decision it is up to Ros. Mbak can stay friends with him with all the risks, or Mbak can stay away from him.”
“I heard that Hermawan is not a good young man. So, I'm afraid he's plotting a diabolical plan for Ms. Ros. So, I need to remind Mbak Ros about this.”

“Andi, can I ask you something?” Widya asked as they finished ordering their food.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Why are you still close to the girl named Rosalinda? Have you not heard that he is the target of Marcel and Hermawan. By approaching the girl earlier, you will get trouble from Marcel and Hermawan, right? So, why are you close to him?”
“Hah.” Andi took a deep breath hearing Widya's question. Indeed, if you think closely with Rosalinda will cause trouble for him. As well as problems that might threaten the cake business. But Andi can't just walk away from Rosalinda.
“You could say, I'm a sentimental person. Ms. Ros was the first one to buy my sale when I sold in a car free day, after a long time no one bought. In addition, he is one of my most loyal cake connoisseurs.”
“Even getting to know her, I didn't know that being close to her could give me enough trouble. I just found out that he was contested by Marcel and Hermawan also not long ago.”
“So, I can't just stay away from Sister Rosa after knowing her, right? Although I did not know him that close, but it was impossible for me to stay away from a friend just because he could have given me trouble. Provided he does not directly and blatantly direct the matter to me, I have no problem.” Obviously Andi.
From Andi's words, Widya can tell that Andi is not the type of person who easily leaves his friend. Although they had not known each other for long, he would not just stay away from his friend even though his friend could have brought trouble for him.
Isn't this good for her family too? Although Widya is not entirely sure what her Grandfather said, but with Andi's nature like this, their family is safe in the future. They do not need to be in a very close relationship andi will not leave them.
People like Andi are very suitable as business partners. In the business world usually someone will stay away from someone who has problems in their business. They stay away because they do not want to be affected by the problem.
If getting a business partner like Andi, isn't that good? He would not easily abandon his comrade who was in trouble. So, if you can, Widya would love to work with Andi. Unfortunately, his family has not allowed him to plunge into the business world.
“Then, did you like that girl?” Widya asked curiously. Isn't this also the reason a man doesn't want to just leave a woman? Because they like women. Because they still have taste.
Andi scratched the back of his head that did not itch. “I myself also do not know, whether I already like it is not.”
“Why don't you know?”
“Yes because the feeling has not yet appeared. Maybe just love but love doesn't. The feeling of palpitations when meeting with our loved ones, the feeling of wanting to always be together, the feeling of longing that is passionate if not met. I haven't felt all that on Mbak Ros.”
“I want everything to slow down. I'm still easy anyway, right? I won't go out even if I like it. I'll wait to meet the person who can really make me fall in love with her.” Obviously Andi.
Hearing Andi Widya's words laughed. “Hahaha. So you've never been in a relationship?”
Andi nodded slowly. He was a little embarrassed to make this confession to Widya. “Today I focused on my school so I didn't think about it.” Obviously Andi.
Widya laughed again at that. He then shook his hand. “Let's just relax, I've never dated either. So don't be ashamed of it like that. Your words were right, we better start dating our loved ones.”
“Do not just date because you want to try it. But in the end the relationship did not last long.”
“Ah yes I need to return your necklace.”
Widya then took Andi's necklace from her bag. The necklace is now stored in a small velvet box. It was Gayatri's idea to keep Andi's kalongs in a jewelry box.
“Thank you for saving this for me. This necklace is precious to me. This is my Grandpa Buyut's gift. So, I can't just eliminate it. Once again thank you for finding this necklace of mine.” Andi said sincerely.
Widya shook both hands. “Ah that doesn't matter. Aren't you treating me now for keeping your necklace? So, you don't have to thank me like that.”
