Rakha had already arrived in front of a glass-dominated blue restaurant building. Hanarose Resto, a nameplate was plastered in front of him. According to Jamie, Lily and Ran Curtis will meet him there. He was afraid to step in. He felt his guts shrink when he remembered the figure of Ran Curtis. Rico Hoover could be there too.
For a while he was still glued in his seat on the outside of the restaurant. They're meeting at 11 this morning. And now it's 10:30 in the morning. Rakha deliberately came early to neutralize his nervousness. At 10:55 he'll be in the restaurant. According to Jamie, he just needs to mention his name to the restaurant clerk. Because Ran Curtis has all set up. Probably table reservations and guest name info.
A luxury car stops at the parking lot attracting Rakha's attention. He was stunned to see the man who got out of the car. Ran Curtis's. Then a woman came out the other door which was immediately helped down by Ran Curtis. It was Lily. Lily looks very beautiful with a light green long dress and matching color veil. Rakha immediately lowered her head. He did not dare to look at her for longer.
"Sir Rakha, why wait outside?" Ran Curtis greeted kindly to Rakha who immediately felt frozen. He had not expected that Ran Curtis would be so friendly to him.
"Mmh.I waited eleven hours exactly as promised" answered Rakha nervously.
"It's okay. I have information to the staff here that Rakha sir is my guest" said Ran.
"Come, let's go in" Ran Curtis asked. Lily who was standing next to him just glanced at Rakha. Rakha was very happy to make. She never knew Lily at all. Lily has changed. It looks more adult.
A staff member opened the door as they were about to enter.
" Good morning, Mr. Ran. Good morning, Miss Lily" said the staff member.
"Good morning, sir. Please.." the staff invited Rakha.
"The meeting room is ready, sir" said the staff again.
"OK, Dimas. Thanks though. Is the lunch table ready?" ask Ran.
"Already, Sir. Over there. As per the instructions of Mr. Ran" replied the staff named Dimas.
"OKAY. Thanks, Dimas"
"Together, Mr. Ran"
Rakha was surprised to hear that. So this is Ran Curtis's restaurant too. Aah how much do you think he is? there is a lot of business, Rakha thought. It turns out that in addition to the Blume cafe in Jakarta, he also has a large restaurant in Bandung. Not to mention the fashion industry company that has dozens of outlets in Asia. Then Rakha glanced at Lily.
"Well, Lily is a special woman. Having a husband is that rich but his attitude remains simple. It is fitting that Luisa really wants to be like Lily" Rakha muttered inwardly.
They're heading to the second floor. There's a room at the far right. A meeting room that is designed very modern but feels close to nature. Because there are some ornamental plants that are placed very aesthetically in some corners of the room.
"Please sit down" Ran spread Rakha's daydream. Rakha sat in the nearby chair from where she stood.
"You drink what, Rakha sir" Ran offered Rakha.
"Mineral water only, Mr. Ran" answered Rakha getting nervous.
On the table are bottles of mineral water. Then Lily moved to the glass shelf where she kept the glass. He took out two glasses and placed them on the table in front of Ran. Ran thrusts one glass to Rakha. It seems that Lily deliberately did not want to interact directly with Rakha.
"How are you, healthy?" ask Ran. Rakha nodded.
"Please drink first" Ran invited Rakha. While Lily poured mineral water into Ran's glass. Rakha poured his mineral water into a glass and drank it. He felt a little calm after drinking.
"Previously Ms. Dina had made an appointment to meet us. But finally Miss Dina gave the news again that Mr. Rakha directly who will meet us" said Ran began the conversation seriously.
"Yes, Mr. Ran. Because the one who has made a mistake is me. So it is I who have to finish it" said Rakha slowly.
"I came here to apologize to Lily as well as to Mr. Ran as Lily's husband for my actions so far that have hurt and hurt Lily." Rakha looked at Lily doubtfully. Lily looked back at Rakha as if waiting for her to continue her words.
"I also apologize to Papa Lily and Angga's sister. Please send me my apology"
"I've used Lily's money for joint business, but I'm using it for personal use"
"I also regretted kidnapping Lily and forcing her to sign the payoff"
"Also my words I shouldn't have said hurt Lily's feelings"
"I'm so sorry. That's why I beg you to be forgiven"
"For the money I borrowed I will return some first. The rest I will pay after I get income again. May Lily and Mr. Ran please" Rakha tried to organize his words very well. He was very afraid if there was a wrong speech.
He grabbed an envelope from his bag. Then put it on the table and shifted it towards Lily and Ran who were sitting in front of him.
"This is a paid letter that Lily signed because I threatened. I refund. Please destroy. Because the fact is I haven't returned a penny of Lily's money" Rakha said again.
"This is the amount of money that I can currently return" Rakha handed over the printed account book to Lily and Ran. There is a balance of money from the sale of the house and jewelry sold Dina plus the money given by Dina's parents. All the money is in Dina's account. All of them totaled eight hundred million.
"Thank you that Mr. Rakha has good faith to meet us. I as husband of Lily will definitely support whatever decision my wife makes. So let Lily decide" Ran looked at Lily while holding her hand. Then gently pat her hand and let Lily talk.
"Because you've apologized in a kind and polite way. Then I should have forgiven you" Lily said as she stared at Rakha for a moment.
"Later your apology I also convey to Papa and Angga Brother" continued Lily.
"For the money you want to give back, I receive whatever the amount. The rest you can take as good as you can" continued Lily.
"Thank you for forgiving me and giving me relief, Ly" Rakha said.
"Either. I hope you don't repeat this deed to anyone" Lily said with a sharp look.
"Good, Ly. Thank you for reminding me" Rakha bowed. Even so his heart felt calm.
"OKAY. We consider this problem to be finished. Hopefully in the future there are only good things and we are avoided from all bad things" said Ran with relief. He was glad that this matter was finally over. Rakha had already realized all his mistakes and apologized. Lily forgave too.
"Please give me the account number for my money transfer" Rakha said.
"May is likely to be transferred. Because all the money is in Dina's account" Rakha continued.
"Well, no problem" Lily grabbed the paper and pen available on the table. Then write down his bank account number there.
"You can send it to this number" Lily said, handing it to Rakha.
Ran appears to be calling staff on the first floor.
"It looks like our conversation is over for this matter" Ran said, making Rakha feel like he was being sent off.
"Now we continue to have lunch on the first floor. I also invited Jamie" Ran to stand up and let Rakha walk first.
Rakha. It turned out that he was not evicted, but rather invited to lunch. He was ashamed of himself.
"Come on, don't be shy. We're at peace, aren't we?" Ran patted Rakha's shoulder. Rakha nodded.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ran. You are very kind" Rakha said.
"Either. Come on please"
They walked to the first floor. Jamie waved his hand. Rakha approaches Jamie. Ran and Lily stopped by the kitchen first. Today there was a lunch with some friends and a meeting with company partners in the afternoon, so Ran made sure the menu to be served later was ready and appropriate.
"Hows it? done right?" ask Jamie to Rakha.
"It has. They very well accepted my apology" Rakha replied.
"Thank God" muttered Jamie in relief.
" They are really good people" Jamie said.
"Because, I'm so embarrassed" Rakha sighed. He saw Lily and Ran walking towards them.
"Please order anything" Ran said. Lily just smiled and nodded her head at Rakha and Jamie. Ran sat in front of Rakha and Lily sat next to Ran in front of Jamie.
Soon after, Wini and Rico arrive. Apparently they were also invited to lunch by Ran and Lily.
"Have it been done?" rico asks Ran when he sees Rakha. Ran nodded.
"introduce. This is Rakha, her friend Jamie is also her friend Lily" Ran introduces Rakha to Rico and Wini.
Although Rakha had actually seen them in the cafe while with Luisa. Rico already knew that it was Rakha. Because all this time he's been investigating.
They chatted casually and intimately as if they had all been good friends for a long time. Forgetting all the problems that have ever happened. The problems between Rakha and Lily in the past, as well as the problems of Jamie and Wini in their failed marriage. All of them have been considered as part of the journey of life that must be discussed and do not need to be revealed again.
Ran and Lily's attitude like that made Rakha feel very bad. From them he learned about kindness. How kindness can be so pervasive and as if transmitting kindness to others.
