(Rayya, tomorrow morning I have to go to Milan, because it's 10 o'clock schedule a meeting with my Om client. I took the train at 6am) Simone told Rayya when they had just finished their final course today.

" Quanto tempo sei stato?" (How long have you been there) asked Rayya.

" Solo un giorno ma poi devo andare a Florence per due giorni. Questo significa che sono ancora a Firenze veneer." (Just a day but after that you have to go to Florence for two days. Means Friday I am still in Florence ) Simone said in a sad tone because the exhibition of Kayla paintings was scheduled Friday as well.

" Non siate tristi, la mosta in programma fino a sabato." (Don't be sad, show until Saturday ) Rayya patted Simone's shoulder while chuckling.

Simone turned to Rayya.

" Davvero?"

" The."

" Spero in tornare a Milano venerdi." (I hope to return to Milan on Friday) Simone said. " William Venuto acche a milano?" (Did William also come to Milan )

" Si, Mio padre si arrabbiera se non mi accomplagnera adandare lontano." (Yes, Papa I'd be mad if he hadn't accompanied me away )

" Bambino viziato!" (Basic spoiled child) Simone's lips make Rayya lean towards the man to make Simone laugh because it managed to bully Rayya.

In the evening, Edward invited Ramadan to eat at his house. Of course it was greeted enthusiastically by Ramadan because it meant he would be able to meet Kayla.

Ramadan chooses semi-formal clothing, a dusty pink collarless t-shirt combined with a broken white blazer.

" Asalamualaikum, Aunty." Ramadhan greets Nadia when she is invited in by ART Edward and finds Nadia sitting with Edward on the living room couch.

" Navy, Rama? You're here?" Nadia immediately rose and welcomed the arrival of Ramadan.

" Yes, Tan. Aunt Nadia how are you?" Ramadhan immediately shook Nadia's hand and also embraced the body of a woman who was as beautiful as her mother.

" Thank God, Rama." Nadia then glanced at her husband. " What guest do you mean by that is Rama, honey?" nadia asked Edward.

" Yes, Sweetheart. The guest we invited for dinner was Rama." Edward now follows his wife closer to Ramadan and receives a handshake from Ricky and Anindita's son.

" Why don't you tell me that Rama's coming, honey?" nadia asked with eyes glaring at Edward.

" Rama told me to shut up, Sweetheart." Edward did not want to be blamed by his wife.

" Rama wants a surprise for Aunt Nadia." Ramadan chuckles.

" Let's sit down, Rama. Your mother how is she?" Nadia immediately embraced Ramadan's arm and took the man to sit on the sofa.

" Mama Anin is good, Aunt." said Ramadan.

" Who are you here, Rama?" ask Nadia.

" Rama himself, Tan. Because there is a task from Om Dirga that Rama must take care of here."

" Your ex-husband was too selfish, deliberately giving Rama a task when he was on leave of work," Edward insinuated his wife made Ramadan smile in response to Edward whose behavior was not much different from Dirga.

" Don't like the past!" nadia's ketus poked her lips. " Kayla must be glad you're here. Aunty call Kayla for a second, yeah!" Nadia then left the living room to call Kayla.

Ramadhan developed his smile when he saw Nadia about to call Kayla.

" What time do you plan to meet the architect, Rama?" ask Edward then.

" Tomorrow at ten, Om."

" Do you need a translator? She speaks English?" ask Edward again.

" Thank God, then."

" Let's see who's coming." Nadia's voice from behind makes Ramadhan turn her face towards Nadia's voice and she sees Kayla who seems aghast to find her appearance in the residence of Kayla's parents.

" Hey, Kayla." Ramadhan immediately turned his body around to face Kayla.

" Why are you here?" tanya Kayla was still in her shock mode.

" Rama got the assignment from Papa Dirga." Nadia explained.

" How are you, Kay?" tanya Ramadhan does not care if Kayla seems to be uncomfortable with his presence.

" Well," said Kayla briefly and in a flat tone.

" Kayla is going to hold a painting exhibition this Friday, Ram." Nadia informs Ramadhan of the event to be hosted by Kayla.

" Mr ..." Kayla rebukes Mama for informing her of the activities she will be carrying out for Ramadan.

" Rama knows, Tan. Om Edo told Rama this afternoon."

Kayla sighs because it turns out Ramadhan already knows first from his stepfather.

" Hopefully Rama's business in Florence will soon run so that Rama can also see the exhibition of Kayla's paintings." Ramadhan hopes.

" You must come, Rama. This is Kayla's first painting exhibition. Kayla must be happy that you came there too. Isn't that right, Kayla?" nadia asked her daughter with Bima.

Kayla was silent not answering her mother's words.

" Yes, let's have dinner first." Nadia then invited her husband, children and Ramadan to eat the dinner menu she had prepared with her domestic assistant.

After dinner, Ramadhan talks with Kayla in the front garden of Edward's house in Milan.

" Why are you blocking my number, Kay?" Ramadhan who was curious because of Kayla's attitude that blocked her mobile number so that she could not contact the woman finally asked Kayla.

" You know why, Rama! I don't like you forcing your will about your feelings on me. Especially with the actions you did when you last met," said Kayla without looking at Ramadan. He was still irritated by Ramadhan who suddenly kissed him.

" I'm sorry for that, but why don't you give me a chance, Kay?"

" Because I don't want to!" firmly Kayla.

" But why, Kay? The reason you gave me was I don't think an obstacle. We don't have blood ties, so it doesn't matter if we're in a closer relationship." Ramadhan is still not satisfied with the reason given by Kayla to him.

" Alright, you hear me now! And I hope you no longer demand my explanation in the future. We are destitute, Rama. My origins are the same, Rama. A child born out of wedlock. And I don't want to have a partner with the same background as me."

" What's wrong with our past, Kayla? We, I'm just as innocent as what happened to our parents back then! I think you're overdoing it if you make it an excuse!" Of course Ramadhan considers if Kayla's reasons are too excessive.

" It's up to you to assume what you're going to be like, but I still don't want us to have a special relationship. You should be able to appreciate my decision. I already have a boyfriend, anyway, so I hope you stop trying to get close to me!" kayla insisted that Ramadhan stop chasing her and then leave Ramadan alone in the garden chair, while she stepped inside her house.
