Again Harlan was made not to dwell on the questions that Rani posed to him.
"Harroman!"
"Yes, Mom!"
"What are you talking about with Raline?"
"We're not talking, Mom."
"Thank God, I don't want you to influence him. I don't want Raline to change her mind because she heard what you said. Me and Shireen would agree if she married Bagas."
"Why do you want to marry Raline to Bagas?"
"Because I see Bagas fighting for his love more than you!"
Harlan.
"How is your relationship with Tiara?"
"He's getting married, Mom."
"With you?"
"No, Ma."
"You mean you abandoned him a second time?"
"Yes, that's how it is, ma'am."
"Lan, you should choose a woman who loves you not like Tiara. I'm sorry, I'm sure your feelings are very painful" said Rani.
"I'm glad Tiara is getting married, but it hurts more when I see a woman who loves me marrying someone else."
"Who's the woman who loves you?"
Harlan couldn't answer.
"You don't want to tell me?"
"Sorry, Mom. I can't tell."
"All right, it's okay."
"May you mate with her, if the woman is not married it is better to be pursued."
"Yes, Mom."

The next day, Raline and Harlan meet at the cafe that is a subscription to both.
Choosing the 2nd floor in the corner of the room, the two faced each other.
"I ordered your favorite drink" Harlan said.
Raline looked at her favorite glass of ice chocolate, then she pointed her face at the man in front of her. "What do you want to talk about? Don't make any more pleasantries!" said coldly.
Harlan looked nervous, she grabbed the tissue wiping away the sweat dripping on her forehead.
"Can you say it now?"
"Raline, a. I...."
The sound of Raline's phone ringing made Harlan stop talking, the girl answered the phone call.
"I'm at the cafe with Om Harlan, Ma."
Raline hung up.
Harlan only looked at the daughter of his superior groggy.
"Continue on, Om!" her door.
"Rilaine..."
"Yes." Yeah."
"What are you......"
"A long time, Om. Hurry up and what's it going to be?" his insistence.
"Do you still have that feeling?" ask Harlan.
"Which feeling?" pretend not to know.
"Do you still love me?"
Raline looked surprised as she quickly replied, "No!"
"Did I not have another chance?" ask Harlan.
"What opportunity, Om? Hurt my feelings?" her allusion.
"Mom.not so. I love you, Raline."
Raline held her breath, her heart felt stopped, the man she was chasing told her love.
"Raline, I'm sorry to have wasted your feelings. Will you accept me?"
Raline who was still in shock was unable to say anything.
"I know it's wrong and it's too late, but I have to say everything" Harlan said.
Raline tried to regulate her breathing to keep her calm. After feeling comfortable, he then asked, "Om saying love is not because Tiara refused to marry, right?"
"No, Raline."
"I can't take Om!"
"Why?"
"Om came to me when that heart was not accepted by Tiara. Hence, I became the last choice," Raline replied.
"It's not so, Raline. I realize that I do love you," Harlan said wholeheartedly.
Raline who heard his heart flowered, his love struggle reciprocated but he was not that easy to accept it let alone himself ever dropped by the words of Harlan.
"Raline, I beg you. Don't accept the wedding!"
Raline pulled the corner of her lips. "I promised Bagas, Om!"
"You can cancel!"
"No problem, Om Harlan as well as the heart to attract the hearts of others!"
"I will speak to Bagas" said Harlan.
"Om, want to ruin the happiness of others?"
"Om talkin' what, anyway?"
"Raline, I'm serious."
Raline laughs. "Om think I was kidding yesterday?"
"I'm sorry, Raline."
Raline sipped her chocolate ice to the remaining quarter of a glass. "I want to go home!" stand up.
"Let me deliver!" harlan.
"It just so happens that I save, too" Raline said.
Harlan got up from her seat, "I don't think you can save."
"I want to go to Paris of course have to be frugal, do not want to bother and trouble father and mother let alone grandfather," Raline said as she walked to the cafe parking lot.
Harlan opened the door for Raline, then walked to the steering wheel.
Putting on a seatbelt, "Why did Om Harlan suddenly change his heart?"
"I don't know either" replied Harlan while turning on the car's engine.
Along the way, the two remained silent.
Once at home Shireen and Rani are sitting on the porch of the house while enjoying tea.
Harlan's car stopped right in front of Alka's fence. "Why is your mother here?"
"What if you play at Mama Shireen's house? Her children are still living with mom and dad."
"Wire, tomorrow I may be fired again" he said.
"Om, scared of mom?" raline asked before she got off.
"Not."
"Come hello!" raline's Word.
Harlan got out of the car, he approached two different women of that age and greeted her.
"Where are you from?" ask Rani.
"From the cafe, Mom." Answer Raline.
"You guys met?" ask Rani again.
"Yes, Mom."
"Why can? You should keep your distance, remember each other's partners." Shireen is in the hunt.
"Harlan didn't go with Tiara, Ren." Chirp Rani.
"really?" Shireen is so excited.
"Yes, pity her in staying the same woman the second time," said Rani.
"Having known that Tiara didn't like her was still hopeful" Shireen quipped.
"Ma, Mom, why corner Om Harlan, anyway?" raline protest.
"Why defend Raline?" ask Rani.
"Mom, pity Om Harlan again heartbroken even in satirical. If it were me, where would this face go," Raline glanced at her mother's assistant.
"She again, why follow me as well?" angryness.
"So, have you met a woman who likes you?" ask Rani to Harlan.
"Already, Mom."
"Did he accept you?" ask Rani again.
Harlan glanced at Raline, "Not yet, Mom."
"Huh, how pity you are!" Rani shows a stupefied face.
"I will prove to him, if I deserve him," Harlan glanced at Raline.
Shireen who heard it gave a smile.
"That's a real man's new name, I'll wait for proof from you!" rani.
"Yes, Mom."
"Then go home" said Rani.
"Yes, Mom. I'm going home" Harlan said. "Excuse me!" pamper him and passed.
Rani and Shireen laugh when Harlan's car disappears.
Raline scrunched her forehead. "Mom and Mama why are you laughing?"
"Harlan said about her love so very funny," answered Rani.
"Yes, Lin. Harlan's finally coming after you, right?" ceplos Shireen's. He quickly closed his mouth. "Upss, sorry!" he continued saying while smiling.
"So, Harlan likes Raline?" ask Rani.
"Mama..." Raline wants to protest.
"Mom already knows, Lin."
Raline looked at her mother, "Why did you tell Mom?" sitting next to Rani.
"Raline, your birth mother should know about her daughter" Shireen said.
"You don't like it when you know who's the guy who fills your heart?" ask Rani.
"It's not so, Mom. I don't want Mom to scold and even fire Om Harlan" Raline replied.
"Mother knew Harlan for over ten years, he was a hardworking and kind man. During his time as an employee, he never saw or introduced his woman. I only know if she likes Tiara." Obviously Rani.
"Mom agrees with me?" ask Raline.
"Surely," Rani smiled.
"Mother doesn't mind her age and I'm so far away?" ask Raline.
"Your mother and father were eleven years apart, of course that was not a problem" Shireen said.
Raline smiled happily.
"But, what about Bagas?" ask Shireen.
