After arriving at the meatball stall Laura and Rio immediately ordered food and sat facing each other.
"Have you ever eaten by Ra's side of the road?" ask Rio.
"Before" answered Laura.
"Who's the guy?" ask Rio.
Laura was silent for a moment.
"The same people who left me for no reason" Laura replied.
"Former you?" rio asked in more detail.
"You don't have to talk about it." said Laura.
"Yes sorry" said Rio.
"Mmm Ra" call Rio.
"Yes" answered Laura.
"So, for example, there are people who like you how?" ask Rio.
"I still can't open my heart anymore.Fear disappointed for the second time" said Laura.
"But you can not dissolve in disappointment" said Rio.
"Yes Rio" Laura replied.
Laura and Rio meatball orders came with 2 glasses of orange ice.
Without further ado, they both immediately finished the meatballs without waste.
*****
The more days Laura and Rio are getting closer and inseparable even though there is no status yet but Laura feels very comfortable with Rio. Trauma in the past made it difficult for Laura to open her heart to anyone.
While Rio could only love Laura in silence. The difference in caste made Rio less likely to say his feelings to Laura.
The closeness of Laura and Rio makes Laura start to be able to forget Raka who for years always overshadowed her.
Today as usual Rio and Laura are sitting in a park in the middle of the city. They look so happy to joke around with each other.
"Cie who is daunted again wants a birthday" said Rio.
"There are 2 weeks left" Laura said.
"What do you want?" ask Rio.
"I don't want anything that matters" said Laura.
"Laura" call Rio.
"Yes" answered Laura.
"Are you not ashamed of having a poor friend like me?" ask Rio.
"Why should I be ashamed of having a friend as good as you" Laura said.
"But I'm just an OB" Rio said.
"I'm not the type of woman who squirms something just from the material.if good people are the same as me, I will be much better" said Laura.
Hearing Laura's statement made Rio start to be confident and wait for the right time to express his feelings towards Laura.
Rio also started looking for additional jobs in various fields. Rio was intending to give Laura a necklace that Laura had shown to Rio some time ago.
Throughout the day Rio worked tirelessly for days until he finally managed to raise some money to buy Laura a necklace of Laura's dreams.
"I want to find this necklace mba" Rio told the store employee.
"This is a limited edition mas necklace and the price is quite expensive" said the store employee.
"How much mba?" ask Rio.
"138 million mas" said the store employee.
Rio was shocked to hear the price of the necklace. He did not expect that the price of the necklace was very expensive even if Rio worked for many years would not be able to get that much money.
Rio was confused as to what kind of gift to buy Laura.
"A canyon that costs 5 million doesn't exist?" ask Rio.
"There is a mas. briefly I get it" said the store employee then moved away.
Soon the store employees returned with several models of necklaces that cost 5 million.
"The 5 million necklace model is just this mas" said the store employee.
Rio saw the necklaces and decided to buy a necklace with a heart-shaped pendulum.

Laura's birthday is here. There is no event held by Laura unlike the years when he was with Raka which is always celebrated very festively.
Many prayers flowed from Laura's friends who sent birthday greetings on whatsapp and there were some who sent gifts to Laura's house including Mia.
On this day also Laura made a pact with Rio to meet in the ordinary garden they chatted each other's private lives.
Laura arrived at the park. Laura sat down while playing mobile while waiting for Rio to come.
Suddenly there was a hand of someone who closed Laura's eyes from behind.
"Rio.. I know it must be you" said Laura.
The man let go of his hand that closed Laura's eyes. After taking off Laura instantly turned her body to see who had closed her eyes.
"Kak Raka" said Laura was surprised because Raka was in front of her.
While smiling, Raka gave a bucket of red roses that were large enough to Laura.
Laura was still silent as if she could not believe what she was seeing now. Raka who for years disappeared without news is now back.
"Happy birthday Laura" said Raka while giving the flower bucket.
"What are you doing back?" asked Laura with a sharp look.
"I'm sorry Ra for having to leave you" Raka said.
"I hate you" Laura said, turning her eyes away.
"You must still love me" said Raka.
"Why do I still love the people I've left behind" Laura said.
"Let me one more chance Ra to fix all of them. I promise I will not disappoint you for the second time" said Raka pleaded.
"Udahlah brother.we are done" said Laura while trying to hold back her tears so as not to come out.
"I beg Ra. give me this one-time opportunity to Ra" said Raka.
Without Laura and Raka realizing there was a pair of eyes that were watching them.
