The night sky seemed so brightly decorated with small stars as if representing the happy feelings of Rindi and Arkan. In particular Rindi herself, she did not expect that her mother Arkan who had previously been strongly opposed to her son's relationship had now come to accept her presence as a potential daughter-in-law in their family.
"Mrs .. thank you so much for accepting this imperfect me. I don't know how to express this happy feeling, Madam has blessed our relationship. Thank you so much, madam." Rindi clasped Mama Delina's fingers to express her gratitude to her future father-in-law.
Mama Delina rubbed the back of Rindi's hand. Covering him with affection, he was very fond of the grandchildren of his son. But if the woman of his son's choice could not give him offspring, then he could do nothing but accept it with a breastplate.
As a single parent he realized his attitude had been very selfish to force his will without seeing the happiness of his son. Even he intends to match his son with the children of his friends. Fortunately, Rania quickly returned to Indonesia and made her mother aware of her mistake.
"I won't answer if you call me Madam. From now on call me Mama" said Mama Delina.
Arkan smiled at his mother and also his future wife simultaneously. He felt the sincerity of the two and this was the moment he was waiting to see his mother get along with his future wife.
"Alright, Ma-mama .. thank you very much," said Rindi stammered and a little nervous.
"Don't thank me. You have to thank Rania, because she was the one who made Mama's mind open. Thank him." Mama Delina turned to look at Rania with a fluffy smile.
Uhuk! Uhuk!
Hearing her name called Rania who was sipping her drink, suddenly immediately choked to a cough.
"You are!" Arkan grabbed the mineral water to open the lid and then thrust on his beloved sister.
Rindi smiled happily watching her brother and sister who rarely get along but love each other.
"How happy would it be if I had an older brother" he murmured inwardly.
...*** ...
If Rindi and Arkan are enjoying their happiness then it is different from Mirna.
In the other hemisphere. In a room with tamaram lighting. The woman is in the memories of her past. His gaze could not be separated from the photo of a man who had been filling the niches of his heart. A single tear seeped on his face.
Hearts disturbed. He threw the original photo until it made a sound at night. He hugged his knees while drowning his face down. Occasionally he wiped the corners of his eyes that looked watery. Lamenting silence.
"I want to go back to Jakarta. But I am ashamed to show my face, they will surely scorn me and look me low. But ... if I continue here I feel absolutely no happiness, even though the people here treat me well and respect me," he said in his sobbing.
Every night Mirna spent her time crying until she was exhausted and fell asleep on her own until the morning.
Yeah, that's Mirna. Who was so obsessed with his first love that he had to antagonize his own brother. To get the man he wants. Even though the man blatantly rejected himself. But Mirna did not want to give up, she kept trying at all costs to get rid of those who she thought were obstacles. Even though that person was his helper in his past.
True said the first love people will never be forgotten and will always imprint in the heart. First love is someone who makes you feel the beauty of a unique feeling in the heart. To make your heart beat erratically. And first love also teaches you what it means to be jealous and how it hurts when you're heartbroken.
The morning sun began to shine and Mirna was still under the thick blanket seemed reluctant to get up. Though this morning in his office there will be an important meeting.
Before long the sound of the bell from the door until several times sounded. Mirna squirmed softly. Slowly, he opened his eyelids, his hands reaching for the alarm clock on his nightstand. Instantly his eyes fester looking at the clock hand heading to hit the road. Alongside someone outside again pressing the bell button made him upset.
"Who the hell! Early in the morning have been visiting. Just interrupt!" his grunts softly as he moved his feet towards the door.
With an annoyed look, he opened the door. His eyes widened to realize the figure standing looking at him with the eyebrows clinging.
"Pa-pak Boss ... What are you doing here?" ask a man who is none other than the CEO of the company where he works.
"Of course pick you up! And you! It's not ready to go to the office yet! Did you forget? This morning we'll have an important meeting." The 35-year-old boss studied it from top to bottom.
Mirna nodded while scratching her non-itchy head. "Sorry, Sir. I woke up late ...," he said without sin.
The boss shook his head while clucking in annoyance.
"I'll give you ten minutes to get ready. Hurry along! Don't wear it for long!" tell the boss. After that, he stepped foot into his car.
"What! Ten minutes!" As fast as lightning Mirna ran towards the bathroom.
The time to make him unable to dress up.
"No problem I can dress up in the car" she muttered while wearing clothes.
After finishing in a hurry he approached his boss carrying with him his make-up tools. His boss was a little surprised to see him without a sideline and also the usual makeup attached to his face.
"You're going to the office with this look?" ask his boss named Hendra Wijaya.
"No! The boss is calm. I can dress up in the car, please focus on driving" he said while starting to polish his face.
"When his natural face looks sweeter" he said.
Mirna used to ride Go-Jek to her workplace. But this morning was just an important meeting reason. His boss is willing to pick him up.
Mirna was a little worried. He was afraid that he would be made into gossip by his colleagues. What would they say if they knew a big boss picked up his secretary in his private apartment.
Mirna bit her lower lip as the car was about to arrive at the company area.
"Emm, sir .. Let me just get down here" he asked politely.
The boss frowned. "Why? How come, get down here?"
"I'm not good, afraid that there will be something wrong with me," said Mirna Lirih.
"Yes, let it go. I don't have a problem, I'm a widower anyway."
"But sir ...."
"There's no buts. See what I say."
Mirna sighed in annoyance. A Hendra Wijaya always forced his will without thinking of his opponent's feelings.
He can only pray. I hope no one saw him get out of the boss' car.

While far away there precisely in the restaurant owned by Rindi.
A sexy woman who kept staring at Rindi with a sharp gaze. In silence he continued to pay attention to Rindi's movements. Occasionally he clenched his hands holding back anger.
"Mel, are you okay?" His friend asked him. They enjoy the food in the restaurant by being forced because of his mission to destroy Rindi.
Yes, that woman is Melisa. The woman who was once betrothed to Arkan.
Melisa is so fascinated with Arkan. Of course not accept, after knowing Mama Delina has approved of her son's relationship with another woman named Rindi. Makes him very angry.
A week ago Delina met Melisa. To ask Melisa to stop putting hope on Arkan. Because his son only loves one woman, Rindi.
"How can you, Tan. I love Mas Arkan. Why would Auntie let Mas Arkan marry that woman without the womb?!" he was angry at that time. After Delina conveyed her heart to accept Rindi to be her daughter-in-law.
"Melisa .. listen! You can't be a barrier between them. Arkan loved Rindi very much. Just with Rindi. My son can laugh. You're still easy and beautiful you can get a man who's more everything than Arkan. Forget about her."
"From the beginning Aunty asked me to approach Aunt's favorite son. After I had feelings for her. Then Auntie asked me to just forget about it, did Auntie think I was something Auntie would care about." Melisa laughs mindlessly with this friend of her mother.
Mama Delina sighed. He was confused how to explain it. From the beginning, he was wrong in taking steps. He did not think long as he could separate his Son with Rindi who could not give him a grandchild. He was willing to betroth his son to the son of his friend.
"Tante is really sorry. It's all her fault, Auntie, for presenting you in the midst of them. But you saw it for yourself, right? How hard Arkan is. He doesn't even look at you one bit, forget about this matchmaking don't hurt yourself by loving a man who doesn't love you at all."
Mama Delina's words continue to ring in her ears to this day. He is not willing to be ignored. He feels his pride has been trampled by Arkan and also his mother.
"Relisa! Why do you keep daydreaming? quickly finish your food after this we go from here," said his mother who was nodded by her friend Melisa.
"I'm not tasteful, Mam. Looking at that woman I feel like I want to scold her. Because she was Aunt Delina telling me to forget about Mas Arkan. I don't accept this" he replied as he continued to stare at Rindi with eyes of hatred.
"Not to think about it. Mama will talk to Delina. Mama also can't accept this beautiful Mama's son being dumped for nothing." Her mother tried to calm her daughter.
