Ryan went back into serious mode and was busy with files on his desk. In front of him, Rani, Arya and Lena still looked at Ryan with a stifled smile, recalling his suddenly changed demeanor as Arya and Lena walked into his study.
From Ryan's direction, Rani turns to look at Arya and Lena. For a moment, Rani squinted her eyes, looking at Lena's sad face. Even his eyes were still clearly visible, indicating that tears had been rushing from there for quite a while.
"Len," Rani tries to ask, but suddenly Arya shakes her head slowly, as if forbidding Rani to ask Lena something.
Rani who can immediately catch the signal from Arya immediately diverts the conversation.
"Let's go to the cafe next door. We can make coffee and order your favorite cheese cassava," said Rani origin, to deflect the conversation.
"Heh, who let you go to that place? It's been so wanting to coffee again," Ryan looked up at her face and looked at Rani.
"Rani nyoklat, By. No coffee," Rani stood up and walked over to Ryan, then whispered something.
"Go, just be at the cafe next door, and it shouldn't take more than an hour starting from the two of you out of this room" Ryan said, responding with a nod, kissed by Rani.
Rani immediately approached Lena and pulled her hand, so that no matter how long they had not been seen from the eyes of Ryan and Arya.
"What's going on?" Ryan moved from his seat and approached Arya who had put on her sour face.
"We went to the orphanage. Mother called Lena and asked us to go there. Kangen said," great-grandson of Arya, leaning her body on the back of the sofa.
"Continue?" ask Ryan. From the expressions of Arya and Lena, she really knew, something had happened to them.
"Mother meets Lena's real mother. The mother said she was eager to meet Lena and explain all the reasons why twenty-four years ago left Lena at the orphanage" Arya sighed harshly.
"How did Lena react?" ryan asked seriously.
"Lena's not ready to meet her real mother. Even he looks so hurt, knowing that suddenly his mother appears and wants to meet him," explained Arya while rubbing her face violently.
"Do you know who Lena's real mother is?" Ryan stared at Arya.
Arya didn't say anything. Only her scalp hints that she has no idea who Lena's real mother is.
"Are you senile, stupid, or what the hell? Find out who Lena's real mother is now. Isn't this usually your specialty?" cycad Ryan.
"But Lena doesn't want to know and doesn't want to see him. Surely he will be angry if he finds out that I found out who his real mother really is" said Arya softly.
"Find out secretly. Don't let Lena know," tweeted Ryan while throwing a pillow at Arya so anxious.
"You're right. Why am I so stupid, huh?" arya said as she moved and went out to her study.
Ryan just shook his head slowly, finding his best friend, brother and secretary suddenly became stupid if it was related to Lena. Even if it has worked for him, Arya is the person who is the most good at finding whatever information she needs.
"It could be that stupid, too, if I was with Rani" Ryan murmured inwardly.

Rani is busy choosing food and drinks from the menu book proffered by the Cafe waitress. Every now and then, he glanced at Lena who was still silently silent. From the facial expression he showed, it was very visible that he was really depressed and thinking about something.
"I order hot chocolate, will you have a calmer mind?" said Rani while calling a waiters and immediately dictate what their order is.
This is because chocolate, especially dark chocolate has enzymes and substances such as methyl-xanthine, phenylethylalanine, theobromine, to caffeine that health experts believe can make our minds become calmer, even more calm, improve mood, to overcome fatigue. So, Rani's choice is not wrong, if a cup of hot chocolate potent overcome the mind of Lena who was quite chaotic in that day.
After waiting for some time, finally came two cups of hot chocolate, a serving of cheese cassava, a serving of chocolate toast, as well as a serving of french fries that spoil the eyes and arouse their appetite.
"Are you ready to share your story with me?" rani asked as soon as she saw Lena finished sipping the hot chocolate.
"My biological mother suddenly met Mommy and wanted to see me," Lena put down the cup she had in her hand, then started telling me with teary eyes.
"What does Mother advise?" rani asked again as she grabbed Lena's hand and held it tightly. Rani really knows, that all this is a very heavy thing for Lena. How not? A mother who was supposed to be present as an angel for her children, instead left and deliberately threw it in an orphanage. Brutal right? And now, he was willing to ask to meet? It is not a thing that can be justified.
"Mother said, I should have met him first, at least be able to hear the explanation, why he threw me away at that time," now the clear circle melted without anyone being able to contain it.
"Have you thought about it?" Rani kept asking.
"Just think about it I can't, let alone having to meet her," Lena quickly shook her head.
"At least find out who your real mother is. It's not that difficult for Mas Arya and Johan, if you want," Rani tried to give advice.
"Too sick, Ran. It's better that I don't know her at all than to know who the demon-hearted woman who has dumped me is" Lena said.
"Yes, don't think too much if it's your decision. But if I may give you my input, ask God for guidance, and leave it all to Him" a smile Rani gave to give strength to her sister.
Lena nodded, and tightened Rani's hand. A smile finally curled up on her lips, feeling the burden of her mind slightly lessened after Rani listened to her story.
Until suddenly, a middle-aged woman who is very familiar with Rani entered the Cafe and quite seized his attention.
"Tante," said Rani as soon as she saw Aunt Safira coming in. Indeed, Rani often feels that fate always brings them together accidentally.
"Darling, are you here?" sahut Aunty Safira approaching their table.
As usual, suddenly the face of the woman who now lives a kara was always turned cloudy if she met the prospective daughter-in-law who failed to be married by her son. A hug and drama filled with tears always color their meeting, because the presence of Rani always makes Aunt Safira remember Tede, her son who has died.
"Hmmm. Hmmm," a loud deheman made Aunt Safira let go of her embrace, also wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks.
"Son Ryan," said Aunt Safira. Ryan and Arya suddenly appear and approach their table.
"Sorry, Aunt. Message from the doctor who treated Rani's womb, she should not be stressed and a lot of thoughts. So Ryan please, just have a fun conversation, Auntie," said Ryan politely, afraid to offend the mother of the man who had been part of his wife's love journey.
"Ohh, yes, son Ryan. Aunty apologizes," said Aunt Safira did not feel good.
"No problem, Auntie. Sit down, please" Ryan replied casually.
"Oiya, Aunt. This is Lena, Rani's sister. And this is Mas Arya, her husband. If not wrong Auntie had met Mas Arya while in the hospital," said Rani introduced. Lena and Arya nodded politely, and were countered by the same nod and smile by Aunt Safira.
The five of them ended up eating together, although the strange look from the eyes of Aunt Safira could not be separated from the observation of Ryan and Arya.
"Is Aunt Safira so obsessed with Rani? But why was that look on Lena as well?" Ryan wondered in his heart
