Along the way home, Raline was more silent. Yeah, she's not as chatty as usual.
As soon as he arrived, Raline took off her helmet and thanked him and walked into the house.
Harlan pulled the corner of her lips looking at Raline's attitude that changed drastically due to her statement at the restaurant. "I hope you'll never bother me again!"
Meanwhile, Raline searches for the whereabouts of Mama Shireen as soon as Raline meets, hugging her and crying.
"What's up, Raline?" Shireen stroked her daughter's hair.
"Ma, I want to talk to you both!" answer sniffled.
"Mama will listen, speak!"
Raline took her mother to chat in her room.
"Why crying? What's going on?" Shireen tucked Raline's hair in her ear.
"Om Harlan, Ma."
"Why Harlan?"
"She already has a lover," she replied in tears.
"You mad?"
Raline nodded.
"If she never likes you, Mama suggests it's better to back off."
"But I love her so much, Ma." Raline hugged her mother.
"Don't force someone else's heart to love us, Raline. You have nothing to lose" Shireen advised.
"So what should I do, Ma?"
"Stay away from him and forget him" Shireen replied.
"I've tried to forget it and avoid it, Ma."
"Mama will talk to your mother and your father not to tell Harlan to meet you."
"What if they find out that I like Harlan, Ma?"
"No, you take it easy."
"Don't say anything, Ma. I'm definitely gonna ask you a lot of questions for me and Om Harlan, I'm just afraid that my confession got him fired."
"So, how else do we do?" ask Shireen.
"I'll be going soon, after that college break. I want to be there for a while" Raline replied.
Shireen agreed to her daughter's plan.
-
Raline's dinner is not as happy as usual to make her family wonder.
"Raline, are you sick again?" ask Alka.
"No, Dad."
"Why silence?" ask again.
"Morely think of the final in Jogja, Well."
Alka smiled in relief, her daughter thought only of that.
"I'm not sure you'll be a champion!" Varrel provides support.
"Thank you, Brother."
"Excite, Brother Lin!" Alshe hugged her sister.
"Thank you, Als!" Raline patted his sister's shoulder.
Shireen, who knows Raline's heartache, is not just about the race but her feelings for Harlan, the man who accompanies her daughter everywhere.

Two weeks later....
Today, the entire Alka family left for Jogja, of course, Rani and her parents also drove Raline to the airport and gave encouragement to the girl.
"Mother pray you'll be a champion, baby!"
"Thank you, Mom."
Oma Rita and Opa Andi also offered prayers and words of encouragement to her granddaughter.
Raline smiled to her entire family but not with Harlan, she chose to stay away not even greeting the man.
Although yesterday he was still picked up by Harlan, but did not make the relationship between the two as warm as usual.
Alka seemed surprised by her daughter's attitude towards Harlan but she did not want to think too much about it.
Raline and her family left for Jogja.
Harlan looked at Raline's back, "I'm sorry!" his inner.
-
-
Once in Jogja, Shireen informs Lilis and Rani that they have arrived in the city.
Rani breathed a sigh of relief her children survived to the destination.
"Have they arrived, Mom?" harlan asked, coincidentally being in the room of his boss was giving a report.
"It was just a few minutes ago" answered Rani.
"Thank God." Harlan smiled with relief.
Walking out of the room, Harlan checked his phone if there was a message from Raline turned out to be completely absent.
Since that lunch, Raline seemed to stay away and dodge. Never send a message or call asking for something in his potent and pushy style.
Harlan tries to contact the girl's phone but is off, sending a message on the green app also ticking only one. Continue to browse social media Raline again he did not find an account with the name in question.
"Is he so mad at me?" muttered.
"Let's just say, isn't this what I want. He's running away from me and not bothering me!" his inner.
While in Jogja, Raline in her room focused on her design. He really wanted to forget Harlan through his busy life.
Raline then contacted her mother because since then she had not called the woman even though Mama Shireen had reported it.
"Hello, Mom!" swipe from the end of the phone.
"Hello, Raline!"
"Mom, I just called. Sorry!"
"It's okay, Mama Shireen called Mom. You focus on the race, don't think about anything else. I wish you could be a great and famous fashion designer."
"Yes, Mom."
"The race in Jogja will determine you follow the international level competition," said Rani.
"Yes, Mom. I also want to continue school in Paris" he said.
"You want to go to Paris, I can miss you!"
"Mother can visit me," Raline chuckled.
"Yes, too. Whatever you do, I'll support you as long as it's good!"
"Thank you, Mom. Then I hang up the phone."
"Yes, Raline."
"Good night, Mom."
"Night too, son." Rani hung up.
Harlan, who was driving, overheard the conversation between the mother and the child, and asked, "Call from Raline, Mom?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"She wants to go to Paris?"
"He said, but if you don't change your mind."
"Oh."
"Did Raline call the old number, ma'am?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why did I call him he couldn't, huh?"
"Maybe the phone is off" answered Rani.
"Maybe, Mom."
After taking Rani to his house, Harlan returned to the house he just bought 2 years ago.
Seeking Raline's contact and contacting her again, but still failing. "Am I blocked?"
****
Today the race that Raline participated in, this race determines who will be the representative in the international event.
These two days, Raline is very keen to pay attention to the details of the dress that she will display in front of the judges and the audience.
Raline took 2 women as her clothing model.
The two women walked down the stage wearing Raline's clothes.
The audience who were Raline's supporters clapped, they cheered when they saw the models walking.
Without Raline's eyes watching him while capturing him through her camera phone, the man smiled when he saw a smile on his face.
After the show, Raline stepped off the stage and hugged Shireen and Alka.
"Mama's proud of you!" pecking his daughter's cheek.
"Dad too!" Alka peels off Raline's head.
Raline's sisters congratulated her as well.
"Today is also his announcement, so pray for me!" raline pinta.
"We always pray for you!" said Alka.
"Let's find some food!" take Aksa while holding her stomach.
Alka looked at her watch, "Lunch time."
Others agreed, finally they chose a restaurant in the mall.
Raline then contacted Rani via video call.
Everyone at the dinner table greeted the 49-year-old woman.
"Hello, Mom!" greet Sean.
"Hello, handsome!" Rani waved her hand. "How's the show?" continued.
"Walk good, Mom!" answer Raline.
"Have you succeeded?"
"Not yet to be announced, ma'am. Please pray!" Raline.
"Mom always prays for you!"
In the middle of the family chatter, Harlan's voice sounded.
"This is the report that Bu Rani asked for!" Harlan stood behind the middle-aged woman.
Rani looks back and orders her subordinates to put her on the desk.
"Good, Mom!" Harlan followed the orders of his superiors and rushed out of the room.
Raline could see a glimpse of Harlan's face.
Almost 15 minutes, call ria. Rani finally decided to continue her work.
Raline turned off her phone.
"Om Harlan seems cute, doesn't she like Raline's sister in the race?" ask Alshe.
"He likes it, just maybe he's busy. The proof is that he's taking us to the airport" Shireen explained.
"Yes, too," said Alshe.
"Sister who wants to avoid it," Raline said.
