Rafa is busy with his phone screen. Since Anin's departure, Rafa never again appeared in front of Bi Inah and the others.
She chose to stay in the apartment, and busied herself with her work. Rafa now travels more often out of town or deliberately vacationing to neighboring countries to release fatigue in his head.
"Master, your flight's in 1 hour"
"All right, get everything ready. We're leaving in 20 minutes"
"Ready, Master"
"Oh, huh? Before leaving, please bring this home and give it to the little boy. And apologize to them for never meeting them there."
"Good, Master!"
Guilt always came to his heart. Not intentionally to ignore Anin's family, Rafa just doesn't want to remember Anin anymore, and really wants to forget her.
*
Mark who had just arrived home, went straight in and met Bi Inah who was helping the others prepare food in the kitchen.
Now Bi Inah was already the butler at Rafa's residence. He took full responsibility for the house and they were all allowed to live there.
"Master, Mark??"
"Eh, Yes sir??"
Bi Inah came and approached Mark.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"No need to call me sir, Bi. Just call me Mark. I'm not a big master like Mr. Rafa," Mark joked, making Bi Inah smile.
"All right, Mark!"
"Oh, huh Bi? It's a gift from Mr. Rafa to aunt's granddaughter. And you also apologize for never coming to see your aunt and the others here"
"No, Son. Tell Mr. Rafa, there is no need to apologize because he is not wrong. Please also express your gratitude to me and my family. Mr. Rafa has been very kind to us. If he doesn't exist, I don't know, what is the fate of my children and grandchildren."
Mark held onto Bi Inah's shoulder. "Alright, Bi. I'll tell you later."
Suddenly Rafin came out of his room and ran towards Bi Inah. Bi Inah then carried Rafin into his arms.
"Wake up, baby??"
Rafin gave a small nod and was not yet fully conscious from his sleep. Mark looked at it with a thousand curious things.
"What's up, baby?? tanya Bi Inah was confused.
"Om handsome, where??" rafin asked Mark while rubbing his eyes.
"Which handsome boy, son??" ask Bi Inah again.
"That's a lot, Grandma. That one!!"
Rafin got off Bi Inah's sling and ran towards the living room, followed by Mark and Bi Inah. Rafin then shows a photo, and what Rafin means is Rafa.
Mark smilingly looked at Rafin who was staring at him, as if begging for an answer to his question earlier.
"That's his busy work. Later if his om is not busy, surely here again play with you."
Mark tried to explain to a 4-year-old boy. And finally Rafin can understand too. It is not difficult to explain something to Rafin, because Rafin is a smart child and very quick to understand something.
"Then, I say yes, Bi?? Hem, um also say yes, Rafin??"
"Alright, son," Bi Inah replied and was nodding back by Rafin.
Mark then leaves and picks Rafa up to his office. Because today Rafa has flights to Singapore again, and lately Rafa is indeed more often spent there.
"Come, Sir. We're leaving soon" said Mark, and made Rafa wake up from his daydream.
"How's the little boy doing??" ask Rafa curiously.
"He's very kind, sir. He asked where you were. Maybe he misses." explains Mark, making Rafa smile.
"Alright, thanks. Um, and help you find out more about Anin's whereabouts."
Mark looked at Rafa with a myriad of questions. Because a few weeks ago, Rafa decided emotionally not to want to know again how Anin is doing. But today all of a sudden, Rafa told him to figure out how Anin was doing.
"I'm just curious, nothing more!!" rafa obviously told Mark, who showed his confused expression.
"Ready, Sir. I will do!"
Mark laughed in his heart. He could sense that there was something else that made his master like this. And Mark knows, it's more than just curiosity.

A month later, Anin gets used to her new life. Anjn also kept his mother informed with the help of his friend Leni. She did not want to make her mother worry about her situation.
He works without ever seeing who he really is. Anin just wants to avoid her embarrassment, from the reality of her real life.
"Anne!!"
Call his co-worker, break his daydream.
"Eh, is it Sha?? Sorry what's wrong??"
"You, this, in the conversation from earlier even not connected. You're sick again, aren't you?? tanya Shasa, Anin's co-worker at the company where she works.
They also live in the same room. Anin chooses to get out of Arum's apartment, because Anin does not want to live a life of distress to his best friend. Anin wants to learn to live independently, without the compassion of people
"So, Sha! Sorry I was just thinking about something" Anin said shyly.
"Byeah, Nin!! Again think of Mr. Bima, huh??"
"Son, Iah!! I dare to think of Mr. Bima. Our distance is like the sky and earth, and in the middle of it there is you, who is like a netizen in the style of this country, the smell is severe but painful!!" anin replied and laughed.
"Ish, what a love, Nin!!"
Shasa, who heard his friend's joke, finally laughed. Shasa knew exactly what kind of relationship Anin and Pak Bima. Anin once told it to Shasa.
Shasa is also amazed by Anin's personality who never brags about her, despite knowing the owner of the company they work for. Though most people, if in the position of Anin, must have been arrogant and asked for a better position. Not like Anin, who only asked to be placed in the cleaning service.
"Eh, listen tomorrow we have a guest from what company it is!! I forgot his name, Nin. If you see her tomorrow, you will fall in love!!" shasa's story is excited.
"Times, anyway??"
"The oath!! This is his second coming. And from the bird gossip I heard, it seems like Miss Arum and the handsome are dating!! Ah, their lives are perfect. Already rich, beautiful and handsome, successful career. Not comparable to my life, which is just like bread crumbs!"
"The trailer!!"
Anin hit hard Shasa's forehead, as she was amused by his words.
"Awww!! Pain, Nin!!"
"Racaine!! Breadcrumbs from Hong Kong!! Don't watch most soap operas!! Ask first it's a bird that gossips still alive isn't it??" asked Anin and laughed.
"Based on stepmom!!"
Anin laughed even more strongly at the annoyed expression on his friend's face.
*
The next day at Arum's company, all busy with their respective jobs. They did their best to welcome the arrival of a great businessman like Shasa told Anin yesterday.
"Nine!! Called Bu Arum in his room!!" yelled Anes, Anin's coworker.
"Okay, Nes. Thanks, huh??"
Anes nodded with a smile, then Anin rushed towards Arum's room.
"Tok tok!!!"
"Lake in!" arum's orders from within.
Anin came in and lowered her head before her boss.
"Good, Nin!! What the fuck is wearing nduk everything!! Don't do it, ah!!" arum said it was not nice every time Anin behaved like that.
Anin could only smile at the attitude of her best friend. But Anin also didn't want to stir up any nasty gossip about their friendly relationship at the office. Anin did not want people to say strange things about her, because Anin just wanted to live quietly.
"I'm sorry, Arum. You know, here we have a very distant social status, I just don't want to ruin your reputation as a kindly cool boss, which they've been saying all along. And I also don't want them to think weird that I'm just using you!"
Arum looked with admiration at the figure of Anin who was now much more mature.
"OK okay!! All righty!! I'm sorry, huh??"
Anin nodded with a smile, she was very grateful that Arum could understand about the reason he just explained.
"Sorry, what did you call me here, Rum??"
"Oh, yes Nin. Soon my mother's friend's son will be coming. He's my business partner, but we've known each other for a long time!" arum said smiling shyly.
"And you like it??"
Anin can guess the contents of Arum's heart just by looking at the change in the look of his face.
"Is it very visible??"
"Yuum!!" anin replied smiling.
"Ah, the hell time?? I tried so hard to cover it up!!"
"Tried hard how?? Your cheeks are red like tomatoes. Just look if you don't believe me!!"
Anin laughed and asked Arum to look at herself in the mirror.
"God!! It's so red and hot!!" yelled Arum while holding both cheeks.
Anin could only laugh at the behavior of her best friend. Arum who does not change much if you like someone, it will definitely be like that. Plain and what it is.
"Nin, I'll introduce you to him later. You want to, huh??"
"So, ah!! Yesterday cleaning service acquaintance with a big boss like him??"
"Hust!! I introduce you as my best friend, not as my employee!!" arum replied annoyed.
"But, Rum??"
"Come .. If there is you, at least I have a little guts to talk casually with him. Want to, Yes Nin??"
Anin finally resignedly agreed with Arum's invitation. He also could not bear to refuse Arum's invitation, which has also helped him a lot.
"Yes!! I'll let you know again, won't I??"
"Alright, Rum. I'm sorry to go back to my room, if you no longer want to talk."
Arum nodded with a smile, and Anin left Arum in his room.
*
Right at lunchtime.
"Nin, can you go to my room now??"
"Gee!!"
Anin reflexively said the word, after reading a short message from Arum on the sidelines of his lunch.
"What's up, Nin?" shasa asked in shock at Anin's attitude.
"Ah that! It's okay, Sha. Just a quick message from someone and this is the 5th time, if I get hundreds of millions in cash. If this continues, I can get rich suddenly no need to work anymore!!"
Arum laughed at Anin's words. "Patience, Nin!! Let's just accept it, hopefully one day we can also get rich suddenly!!"
"Aminnnnnn!!!" anin replied excitedly, then followed the others. And finally they all laughed.
"I'm out for a second, huh?? Gonna buy a drink. Anyone want a nitip, right??"
"Come on, Nin!! As usual, huh??" yell at the others.
"Me too, huh?? Iced some tea!" connect the other.
"What am I, buy it in front but Nin?? It's good there!!" shasa pinta.
"All right!!"
Anin leaves her friends and rushes to Arum's room. Anin is forced to lie, because she does not want to invite bad gossip in the office.
"Tok tok!!"
"Get in!!"
Anin enters Arum's room and stands in front of Arum and a man who is busy with his cell phone.
"Sit down!!"
Anin shook her head. She felt bad sitting with Arum and the man. Because Anin felt herself to be inappropriate.
"Aninn!! Sit down!!"
Instantly the man stopped his activities after hearing a small order from Arum.
"Good, die me!!" anin said in her heart, as soon as she saw the man just fell silent while watching the screen of her phone.
Anin then sat down in front of the two of them, and lowered her head.
"Raf, this is Anin!! Nin, this is Rafa!!"
(Yetoooo!!)
Like being struck by lightning, when Anin found out the man sitting opposite her was Rafa, the person she knew. And so did Rafa, who was shocked to see the whereabouts of Anin he was looking for, turned out to be now sitting in front of him.
Rafa looked annoyedly at Anin who was sitting before him. Wearing a cleaning service outfit, and now working at Arum's company. And Anin could only lower her head, trying to swallow her fear, because her hiding was finally known by Rafa.
"Do you know each other??" tanya Arum who from earlier could see Anin and Rafa throw a glance at each other.
"No!!" answer Anin.
"Very familiar!!" answer Rafa.
Rafa continued to stare at Anin, and Anin looked at Arum trying to explain with her eyes. But Arum was even more confused and looked at the two of them. Anin and Rafa answered simultaneously, but with different answers.
