"Good morning Ma, good morning Bi Inah," said Anin then kissed her mother's cheek and smiled at Bi Inah.

"My dear ones .." replied Mrs Atmaja and smiled at her daughter.

"Good morning is also Non" replied Bi Inah.

"Today you helped me at the hotel, baby, your uncle came too. We're gonna talk about something important this morning. You are ready now yes, but you leave with Mr. Man alone. Mama left first yes .." continued Mrs Atmaja, then moved from her seat and approached Anin. A warm kiss landed on Anin's smooth cheek.

"Mama leave, baby, enjoy your breakfast. No need to rush too, mama wait there yes," said Mrs Atmaja and Aninpun nodded. Then Madam Atmaja left.

Anin smiled trying to control her heart. Actually he is not ready to face the affairs of the hotel and all things that smell of business. But this is for the sake of her mother, she must be prepared!!

"Geek, Ninn!! The spirit!! You certainly can." said Anin trying to encourage himself.

'Biii .. thanks for breakfast" Anin thanked Bi Inah while giving her thumbs up.

Bi Inah smiled at the young Miss's attitude. "Non Anin .. finally non smile as before. It was a long time ago not to see Non Anin like that." Inner Bi Inah while staring at Anin who ran small up the stairs to her room.

Upon arrival at their family-owned hotel, Anin enters the lobby and then sits on one of the sofas located right next to the entrance.

Anin took her cell phone, then contacted her mother who had arrived an hour ago. "Uhhh mama where the hell? Why not pick up 4 times on the phone, is it busy?? He said he wanted to talk about something important!! Hmmm .. I just wait here aja deh" said Anin then took out the earphones from inside her bag, connected with her phone, then played her favorite song.

Once in a while, Anin sang the lyrics to the song she was hearing. Anin closed her eyes, and leaned against the sofa.

The entrance is open, and about 5-6 people walk in through the hotel lobby. They are Rafa and his confidants. Suddenly his steps stopped, Rafa turned his body and noticed the girl who was leaning on a sofa located not far from where he stood.

The girl was closing her eyes, with an earphone on her ear. That girl is Anin. Anin does not realize that Rafa is watching him because he is engrossed in his favorite song.

"This girl?? This girl?? It's like I've seen it. But where is it??" rafa murmured in a confused heart.

He noticed Anin again from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot. "Beautiful!!" it was unknowingly that those words were spontaneously coming out of his mouth.

Rafa himself was shocked by the word that came out of his mouth. Then he realized, he was wrong to think so. Rafa turns to leave the girl, then walks to the elevator.

**

"Good afternoon Mrs Atmaja" Rafa said to the woman standing before him.

"I'm sorry, I have to hold an impromptu meeting like this because there are problems that I have to deal with in Singapore for the next few months" Rafa said again to explain to Mrs Atmaja.

"It's okay Mr. Teague. This is my brother-in-law, Hendra Atmaja. Maybe there have heard his name, but have not met him directly." replied Mrs Atmaja with a smile.

"Please sit down, sir" said Hendra, allowing Rafa to sit down.

"Sorry Madam!! Madam can call me Rafa. Madam need not hesitate to me," Rafa smiled back and took out a document from her bag.

How shocked Madam Atmaja was by the treatment of this son of the Teague family, whom she had heard from her husband and the people, known to be quite arrogant to anyone.

"Aaaahhh well then. You can also call me Mother, Son Rafa" said Mrs Atmaja smiling as she looked at Rafa.

"Baikkk, ma'am." answered Rafa casually, making everyone in the room was surprised by Rafa's attitude.Especially Hendra, because Hendra knew Rafa was very rude and cruel to anyone. Especially for the person he felt was very foreign, Rafa would never respond to him. Never before have they seen Rafa get that warm to anyone else.

"Have they met before? Is this some kind of my brother-in-law's wits?" hentha said in her heart.

***

Almost 2 hours they held an impromptu meeting.

Atmaja and Rafa shake hands. Look at each other and smile.

"Hmmmm, it turns out that she is not as arrogant as my late husband said" muttered Madam Atmaja in heart and smiled looking at Rafa who was standing in front of him.

"Okay ma'am, I'll excuse you. And once again I mourn the death of Mr. Atmaja." Rafa looked closely at the eyes of the woman standing before him, and then hugged her.

"Hmmm, why is it that every time I see this woman reminds me of you, ma'am." Rafa's mind then tightened his arms. He recalled his late mother who died when he was 14 years old.

This was indeed not the first time he had met Madam Atmaja. Rafa has seen this woman a lot with Mr. Atmaja. But she never had the opportunity to greet Madam Atmaja, because usually the presence of Madam Atmaja, just to accompany her husband. Make sure the condition of her husband is fine, if there is business outside the house. Ms. Atmaja never took part in her husband's work, whatever it was.

If her husband is in an important meeting or there are needs related to office affairs, Mrs Atmaja will only stay in her husband's room until her husband finishes his work.

The opportunity this time was really in Rafa's use as well as possible, because it had been a long time since he wanted to hug this woman. Warm ... That's how he feels.

Rafa let go of his embrace.

"Sorry Madam, I'm sorry if I took a hug. I just miss my late mother" Rafa told Mrs Atmaja and bowed her body, a sign of apology.

Madam Atmaja approached, in her arms again Rafa then said, "Come to my house if you have some free time, I'll cook your favorite meal."

Rafa smiled, giving the code to his members to get out of the room. Seeing that Madam Atmaja also sent everyone out of the room. And stay just the two of them.

"Mom, if you need help, don't hesitate to tell me" Rafa told Mrs Atmaja and then issued a business card.

Madam Atmaja took the card, noticed it and thanked her. "That's lucky the woman who will be your wife, son. You are handsome, successful and come from a good family, and have everything." said Mrs Atmaja softly and clasped Rafa's hand.

They came out of the room, walked to the elevator, and then Madam Atmaja asked Rafa..

"Do you have a boyfriend?" ask him to Rafa.

"Yes Mom, now he's in Singapore. She is a model. One day, I will definitely introduce her to Mother." replied Rafa smiling, and Madam Atmaja replied with a smile.

"Sadly, try you don't have a boyfriend yet. I must have made a match with my daughter" joked Mrs Atmaja, then laughed at Rafa's change in attitude.

"Mother is kidding, son," said Mrs Atmaja and then patted Rafa on the shoulder. And they both laughed.

When they got down and entered the lobby. Madam Atmaja said goodbye to Rafa.

"Mother first, son!! Take care of yourself and thank you for helping Mom and the late husband" she said, hugging Rafa.

Rafa returns Madam Atmaja's embrace, and they part ways.

In the car, there was no stopping Mrs Atmaja grateful to be met with people as good as Rafa. Madam Atmaja smiled loosely, feeling the burden on her shoulders slightly lessened.

"Darling, you see? He's not as arrogant as you're telling me?" she said in her heart, recalling her husband's stories about Rafa.

Madam Atmaja pulled out her cell phone, she saw 4 calls from her daughter, then called Anin back.

Anin flinched and saw there was an incoming call.

"Yes, Ma? Where's mama??"

"Hahh what?? Anin Daritadi waited in Ma's lobby, when Anin was left" Anin protested to her mother by phone call.

"Okay baby, I'm sorry you didn't see you there. Mama turned around again after you. Why was Man told to go home!! Anin Anin!!" madam Atmaja answered, ending the call, and then told the driver to turn back to pick up Anin.

Madam Atmaja glanced at the business card that Rafa had given her earlier. Then start typing a message to Rafa.

"I'm lucky to meet someone as good as you, son, and my late husband must have felt the same way. I really hope Anin will be as successful as you and can learn a lot from you." - Mrs Atmaja -

Rafa sees a message on his phone screen, then smiles..

"Anin who's Ma'am?" reply Rafa.

"My daughter".

Atmaja's last message, giving a curious effect on Rafa.

"Hmmmm Anin?" what a pretty name.
