Ray called the driver to immediately reach him around the bus stop near Ilham's cafe, not how long Ilham's luxury car was nearby. He asked the driver to take him directly to his office.

On his way Ray also called his loyal servant Mr. Sudiro.

“Please my clothes directly delivered to the workspace now,” said Ray immediately hung up the phone.

Ray only saw the scenery alternating from behind the window of his car. He smiled to himself and even laughed a little considering the incident earlier. Ray remembers Farah crying as she fell down on the sidewalk.

His face was funny when he cried. My guess is right it turns out Farah is a simple woman. Carrying an expensive necklace even prefers brown sandwiches. A unique female.

Ray smiled - smiling to himself given the incident.

The driver who drove Ray felt very strange when he saw his employer wearing a regular shirt coupled with a dirty back and was now laughing cheerfully no matter what possessed him.

The driver asked his employer

“Sorry Mr Ray, why is Mr's back dirty? Is there a problem Mr Ray?”

The question from his driver broke Ray's daydream. This time his face was more cheerful than before which seemed cruel and arrogant.

“This?” ray asked, pointing his back. “I was transformed into a hero parti,” said Ray smiling.

The driver felt his master was drunk so early, he intended to call Mr. Sudiro to tell him this when the car had reached the office of his employer.

Arriving at the construction company, Ray with his bright face visible. Even the security guards had to ascertain whether it was Ray or not. Because Ray's appearance this time is really dirty, especially on the back. Because a while ago, the security guards hardly recognized Ray for not wearing a branded suit, but wearing ordinary clothes that seemed like a village. And that task immediately drove him away.

“Good morning Mr. Ray,” greet one of the company's security officers.

“Morning,” replied Ray who smiled kindly.

For the first time the officers saw Ray's smile. Usually Ray never returned their greetings, let alone smiled. Ray is very cold and haughty when walking.

But for today Ray seemed to not care about the way he dressed and the dirty stains. He continued to spread a smile to every employee who met him.

“That's right sir Ray?” ask one of the employees who ran into Ray.

“Really! That's our boss Rayhan sir. Why are his clothes like that? And the behavior is much different from the old one,” said other employees.

“Yes, some days Mr. Ray often dressed normally, not wearing a suit, even yesterday he was wearing wet clothes,” reply other employees. And they also huddled to talk about the changes that happened to his boss.

Ray sat in his chair, looking very happy.

“Sorry Mr Ray, why does Pak Ray's clothes look so dirty?” ask the waiter in the room.

Suddenly the door was knocked, one waiter came with a disjointed breath and a splattered sweat carrying a set after Ray's fancy suit. The waiter apologized for the delay.

For the first time Ray was not angry and did not immediately use his dictionary, namely the word fire. He told the servant not to repeat his actions. The waiter nodded and thanked Ray for his generosity.

“Please for today all employees are given lunch and a bonus of 20% of their salary this month,” pinta Ray on one of his secretaries.

The secretary was stunned to hear the request from her boss. He did not protest and immediately did what Mr. Ray ordered.

Not long after, Mr. Sudiro came to bring a female doctor who used to be a family doctor. He's here because there's a report from the driver who drove Ray. The driver said Ray was drunk.

The doctor who came with Mr. Sudiro immediately examined Ray. He saw Ray's back that was slightly injured. The doctor asked how Ray got this wound. Ray answered what it was. Suddenly the answer made Mr. Sudiro shocked and panicked.

“Why do you do that?” ask Mr. Sudiro.

Ray did not answer, he just smiled showing neat teeth.

Mr. Sudiro hasn't seen Ray that happy in a long time. Mr. Sudiro believes it's because of the girl. Mr. Sudiro was pleased that his master could already feel the real world of love.

“Sorry Mr. Sudiro, Mr. Rayhan was not drunk, only suffered minor injuries on the back,” said the doctor.

The doctor noticed Ray's facial features that exuded a pleasant aura.

“Is she beautiful Mr Ray?” ask the doctor.

“Iya, she is so beautiful!” ryan answered unconsciously.

The entire room smiled wryly, holding back a laugh. They now know why his boss is acting strangely uncharacteristically, it turns out Ray is in love!

Farah felt lonely, and empty in her heart. It makes her body feel pain. For three days, Inspiration had no news. He asked Akmal the news of Inspiration. Akmal did not answer this question. Hearing this Farah became even more worried about her husband's circumstances.

Akmal did not know where Ilham was, he had gone to a new store in Numa City, but Ilham was not there. Akmal couldn't possibly have told Farah this.

Today overcast envelops this city. Just like the restlessness that wrapped Farah's heart. He still thinks of the state of Inspiration.

“After lunch hour what is my agenda?” ask Ray to his secretary.

“No sir, all meetings today are postponed until next week,” explained the secretary.

Ray wants to give a special gift to Farah, but he is confused what gift to give considering Farah is a very different woman.

“Later you come with me,” orders Ray to his secretary to accompany buying gifts.

Now Ray knows what a suitable gift for Farah is.
