“Zahra what is this? Why are you telling your friends that I'm your fiancee. I was saying that we are cousins.” Samuel called the waiter to order food and drinks.
“Because I want them to know, not only can they be happy, but I also.”
Samuel scrunched his forehead, “you mean? Don't tell me that guy was the guy you told me about back then?” tanyanya surprised.
Zahra nodded her head, “he's the man,” he said as he lowered his face.
“But earlier you congratulated them on their marriage, it means..” Samuel did not continue his words.
“Kata Kak Kenzo Kak Micel is married, it may be true they are married.”
Samuel clasped Zahra's hand, “you're okay right? If he really is married, then forget about him. There are still many men out there who want to marry you,” he said.
Zahra smiled, “indeed I am a gift, so many people are interested in having me,” he said.
“It dong smile, if you pout so, your face ugly tau,” led Samuel by patting his smile.
“But not for Brother Ardi, for him my pouting face even makes my face more adorable,” said Zahra while brushing a smile.
Not long after the waiter came to deliver the food they ordered. They began to enjoy the food on the table.

Ardi and Micel were still standing in front of the restaurant, they were waiting for someone. Micel was still wondering why Ardi had just been silent, even his attitude towards Zahra was cold. Though the girl knew all this time Ardi still loved the girl very much.
“Why are you silent about seeing Zahra misunderstanding our relationship? Don't you know that Zahra thinks I married you?” micel asked in surprise.
“Then why do I explain all that to him, you know who he was with? Zahra's forgotten about me, she's getting married. What can I expect?”
“I don't know what really happened to you. I admit I was evil with Zahra, I asked her to stay away from you, but it's all over, does she still think I'll keep chasing you?”
Ardi let out a long sigh, “alah, I don't want to talk about this anymore,” he said.
“But don't you really want to meet him? Now that you've met him, will it all just end like this?”
“Then what should I do? There's no way I'm taking Zahra from that guy, while they're getting married.” Ardi scooped his face roughly, “why did I just realize all this after Zahra became someone else's? Why can I forget Kay completely after Zahra left me, why?” Ardi looks so sorry.
Micel rubs Ardi's arm, “if Zahra is engaged, why didn't Kenzo tell you?” said it.
“Because Kenzo is still disappointed with me, he does not want to interfere in my business with Zahra anymore.”
A man walked up to Ardi and Micel, the man was none other than Micel's husband and Ardi's colleague.
“That's your husband has come,” said Ardi while looking at Micel's husband named Kris.
“Sorry, I arrived late, the road was very jammed. Have you guys had lunch?” kris asked with breath gasping for running from the parking lot.
“We haven't eaten yet, because Ardi lost his appetite,” Micel said.
“Because he met the girl he missed so much all this time,” said Micel while staring at the look on Ardi's face that looked very sad.
“You mean Zahra!” kris exclaimed in surprise and immediately got a nod from Micel.
“Sorry, I'll go first, you two have lunch together. I want to go back to the office first,” said Ardi then walked away.
“Honey, what exactly happened?” kris asked curiously.
“Later I explain.” Micel embraces Kris's arm, “I'm hungry, we better find a meal first,” he said.
Kris nodded his head, “ayo we're in,” he asked.
Micel shook his head, “we look elsewhere,” he said.
“Em...well, what the hell am I not doing for my beautiful wife.” Kris rubbed Micel's stomach is still flat, “you have to eat a lot so that our child is healthy,” he added. They then walked to the car.

Ardi sat his body in his chair, staring at the picture frame on his desk. In the frame of the photo is a photo of him with Zahra. Photos that he had captured while they were still running their plays.
“You've changed a lot, Ra. You look more mature, you look more beautiful.” Ardi took the picture frame, “what I really did not have a chance to have you. Am I wrong if I still expect you so much?”
Ardi kissed the girl's photo, “ I know I'm too late to realize everything, but I guess you'll still be waiting for me, but, even that guy can always be around you. He also looks younger than me. Now that I'm getting older if I wish I'd be with you, I feel unworthy. You are young, beautiful, while I.”.
There was a sound of the door on the ketul, Ardi again put the picture frame on the table, “in,” sahutnya while removing tears that had dripped from both corners of his eyes.
The door opened slowly, Ardi's private secretary walked into the room, “sorry, Boss. Outside of someone who wants to meet you,” he said.
“Who?”
“Says he's your friend.”
“Tell him, I don't want to be disturbed,” said Ardi and tried to busying himself with the files on his desk.
Sounded steps into the room, “sure you do not want to meet me?” Kenzo walked over to Ardi's desk.
Ardi told his secretary to come out, “tumben you're here? It has been more than a year you no longer come to my office,” he said then moved from his seat. Ardi invites Kenzo to sit on the sofa.
“I think you've forgotten my office address,” said Ardi while sitting his body on the sofa.
Kenzo sat his body next to Ardi, he then took something from inside his suit pocket, “I came here just wanted to give this to you,” said Kenzo while giving a rectangular shaped object to Ardi.
Ardi scrunched his forehead as he received the thing. What Kenzo gave me was a wedding invitation. Ardi started opening the invitation, “ini..”.
