The opening ceremony of Kayla's painting exhibition has finally begun. Starting with a welcome from Kayla yan looks very straightforward and elegant talking to give an explanation of the purpose of her exhibition to the invited guests who are present who sit in the chair that has been provided by the committee.
Rayya continued to pay attention to Kayla who was still giving her speech. He was not surprised if Ramadhan liked the woman. Although Ramadhan did not explicitly say if the woman he liked was Kayla, and Kayla herself said that she had never dated an Indonesian man. But Rayya felt sure that Kayla was the woman referred to by Ramadan as the woman who had made the man fall in love.
" Ho anche invitato uno dei miei migliori amici. Anche lei una donna indonesiana e guarda caso continua artistici all'universite studies in Rome. Ho invito la signorina Rayya Faranisa a tenere la sua discorso." (I also invited one of my best friends. She is also an Indonesian woman and happens to be continuing her art studies at the University in Rome. I invite Miss Rayya Faranisa to give her speech )
Rayya blinked and gasped in shock when she heard Kayla calling her name and asked herself to come forward to give her a welcome. And all eyes were on him at once because Kayla was pointing at him.
Rayya is suddenly attacked by a sense of nervousness having to speak in front of people she does not know at all. But he couldn't possibly refuse Kayla's request.
Rayya finally got up and walked over to Kayla with a pounding heart.
" Buongiorno Signore and Signori. Ringrazio in anticipo la Signorina Kayla per avermi dato l'opportunit di partecipare alla sua mostra di pittura. E un onore per me poter esporre i miei dipinti a un evento come questo. Spero che le signore e signori apprezzeranno la mia dipinto. Grazie's." (Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Earlier I thanked Miss Kayla who had given me the opportunity to attend her painting exhibition. It was an honor for me to be able to show off my paintings at an event like this. And I hope the ladies and gentlemen will like my painting. Thank you )
Rayya did not give much of his speech because he did not prepare anything to talk in front of invited guests.
Shortly after, the exhibition was officially opened to the public. Several invited guests were seen looking at the artwork displayed by Kayla which is the work of his paintings, Almarhum Bima and Rayya.
Rayya seems happy because it turns out that many are also interested in his paintings. Not infrequently he also gave an explanation to visitors about the painting he made.
" Da quando le piace dipingere, Signorina?" (Since when do you like to paint, Miss ) A visitor asked Rayya.
" Fin dalle elementari mi interessano gli scarabocchi e il disegno, signore." (Since Elementary School I've been interested in doodling and drawing, Mr. ) Rayya chuckles at the visitor's question.
" Is prima volta che partecipi a una mostra in the pittura?" (This is your first time attending a painting exhibition) asked the visitor back.
" Giusto, Signore." (Right, Mr. )
" Hmmm, old man dipinto cosin bello, un peccato se non lo mostri." (Hmmm, your painting is beautiful, too bad if it is not exhibited) said the man as he rubbed his jaw.
" Grazie mille, Signore." Rayya thanked him for the man's praise.
" Abiti a Rome? (Do you live in Rome)
" They, Signore." (Yes, Mr. )
The man then took something from the inner pocket of his blazer. He took out a card wallet and then took out a business card and thrust it to Rayya.
" Questo il mio biglietto da visita. Sono Titolare in una galleria a Rome. Se vuoi organizzare for most come questa puoi contattarmi." (This is my business card. I own a gallery in Rome. If you want to hold an exhibition like this, you can contact me )
" Grazie mille, Signore." (Thank you very much, Mr. ) Rayya received the business card with pleasure. He was very satisfied because there was someone who gave appreciation to his work

The clock shows at two o'clock in the afternoon. Both Ramadhan and Simone seemed restless glancing at the watch in his hand. Of course because they both want to attend the exhibition of paintings Kayla and Rayya.
" Grazie for essere passato, Signor Pratama. Spera che la nostra cooperazione possa far in modo che i targetti in Angkasa Raya attirino molti consumatori yes."
" Thank you for coming here, Mr. Pratama. Hopefully, our cooperation will make the Angkasa Raya project much in demand by consumers there," Simone said, saying Mr. Grazian.
" All together. Mr. Graziano. I hope so too" said Ramadan.
" Spera cosin anche lui." (He hoped so too) Simone said to Mr. Grazian.
" Are you going back to Jakarta, sir?" ask Simone.
" Ah, no. I will return to Milan first because I want to attend a painting exhibition of my friend who lives in Italy." Ramadhan told Simone that he had to go to Milan.
Simone scrunched her forehead.
" To Milan? Exhibition painting? Incidentally I also want to go to Milan and I also want to attend a painting exhibition of my friend" said Simone later.
" really? Then what if Mr Simone takes me? That's if you don't mind, sir." Ramadhan hopes Simone can drive him back to Milan.
" Oh of course not, sir. I'll be happy to drive you." Simone seems to have no objection to ushering in Ramadan.
And after Mr. Graziano left first, Ramadhan and Simone immediately headed to the Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence.

" Oh yes, you said that you wanted to attend a painting exhibition in Milan. Where's the show?" simone asked as they sat on the train on their way to Milan.
" Let's forget his name." Ramadhan then took his phone to see the agenda on his phone and he mentioned to Simone the name of the place. And Simone looked surprised because the place where Ramadan was going was the same as her.
" Well, I also happened to want to go there" said Simone.
" Yes, right. You said that your friend was the one who did the painting? What's your friend's name, Mr Pratama?" Simone was curious.
" My friend is Kayla, Kayla Nadira Poetri." Ramadhan smiled as he mentioned the name of the woman who had already attracted his heart. Despite Kayla's rejection, she seems to be unyielding.
" Kayla? So Kayla's your friend, sir?" Simone had guessed that Kayla was what Ramadhan meant because the only ones who attended the exhibition were Kayla and Rayya. As for Rayya, he was sure that it was not the woman that Ramadan was aiming for.
" You know Kayla too, Mr Simone?" Ramadhan frowned knowing that Simone also seemed to know Kayla as well. He immediately suspected something. If Kayla says she already has a boyfriend and Simone also says if her friend held an exhibition event and it turns out their goals are the same. Was Simone the man Kayla meant to be? That is what immediately comes to mind Ramadan.
" Yes, I just knew him. Because it was my friend who was actually friends with Kayla. And it was Kayla who invited my friend to show off her paintings."
Ramadhan breathed a sigh of relief as his conjecture was unproven.
" Oh so ...."
" My friend who I told you about yesterday is Kayla's friend."
" I see, huh? It was a coincidence, my friend and Mr. Simone's friend were friends." Ramadan chuckles.
" That's right, Mr. Pratama."
" You better call me Rama." Because he felt the call of the Master was too formal, Ramadhan asked Simone to call him by his small name only.
" Okay, Rama. You also just call me Simone."
" Okay," said Simone, then she picked up her phone and sent Rayya a message.
" Ciao Rayya's. Sono in treno per Milano. See Principle for the Princess." ( Hi, Rayya, I'm on the train to Milan. I'll come for you, Princess )

After about two hours, the train carrying Ramadhan and Simone arrived at the Milano Centrale railway station in Milan. They then ordered a taxi to the gallery of Kayla painting exhibition.
About five past fifteen minutes they both reached their destination.
Ramadhan smiles at Kayla who is talking with some visitors, while Simone herself does not look for Rayya.
Ramadhan and Simone walked closer towards Kayla.
" Hey, Kay." Say hello to Ramadan when the person talking to Kayla starts to leave.
Kayla who turned her head towards Ramadan was immediately shocked by the presence of Simone along with Ramadan.
" Simone?"
" Ciao, Kayla. come stai?" ( Hi, Kayla. How are you) Simone extended her hand.
" I sto bene." (I'm fine) Kayla also received Simone's helping hand.
" Come sei venuto with lu?" (How can you come with him) asked Kayla who deliberately used Italian so that Ramadan did not understand her chat with Simone.
" Hey, you two can use Indonesian. Are you two talking about me?" Ramadhan who does not understand Italian seems upset making Simone chuckle while Kayla looks to roll her eyes.
" Oh yeah, where is he?" simone asks for Rayya's whereabouts.
" It's inside, he was escorting a guest who wanted to see the painting in the back." Kayla. " I can't wait to see you, huh?" Kayla is mocked Simone.
" Surely, because since Wednesday have not met." Simone chuckles.
" Nah, that's it!" Kayla pointed towards Rayya who was walking from behind.
Kayla's words suddenly made Ramadhan and Simone turned to the direction Kayla pointed.
" Ciao, Simone .." Rayya greeted with a smile as she walked closer to Simone. But suddenly his smile shrank when he found the presence of a man who stood close to Simone and Kayla.
