Laura felt a pang of regret filling her head at this moment. Arlan did not come to the boutique according to his promise this morning. Tried to call dozens of times, but the owner of the number did not answer the call. Laura is standing in front of the mirror. Staring at himself through the mirror. Piqued. Feeling Arlan playing herself.
“Mas Arlan to where, anyway?” He took a deep breath to vent his anger, then glanced at the three boutique employees standing right behind his back. “Mbak, get me my shoes, dong!” his orders without further ado.
And, it wasn't just Laura who was upset. Some of the boutique employees who served him were also holding back resentment. Laura's behavior is no different from a big lady.
After putting on the shoes, Laura looked back at herself through the mirror reflection. Then glance at the expensive suit he has chosen that Arlan will wear on their wedding day. However, the owner of the suit did not also reveal the trunk of his nose.
Finally, Laura must be willing to go home with a disappointment because Arlan really did not meet him at the boutique. Upon arrival at home, a quiet atmosphere was welcomed. Neither Arlan nor Maysha are seen. There's only Bik Wiwin at home.
“Which Arlan, Bik?”
“It looks like not home yet, Non.”
"Maysha's mother?"
"Non Maysha was home. But just grab a suitcase and go again. He said starting tonight he'd stay at his parents' house."
The information provided by Bik Wiwin made Laura's heart feel perfectly fluffy. Smile at her red lips.
"Maysha's mom went home to her parents?"
"Yes, No."
Laura laughed so hard. Now he feels like he is on a cloud. Of course, because his toughest rival has fallen.
The woman then glanced at Bik Wiwin who was still standing in front of her. Still recorded clearly in Laura's memory, some time ago Bik Wiwin had been disrespectful to him, challenging to be fired.
"It finally proved who Mas Arlan chose. Get ready, Bik! Because Bik Wiwin will be the second person I kick out of this house."
Bik Wiwin chose silence and did not respond to Laura's words.
"Mad Maysha must not stand it because Mas Arlan decided to marry me. I have to say good-bye to Maysha's mother."

“Hapeu has been ringing dozens of times. I got tired of hearing it,” Andre scolded.
“Leave it!” Arlan chose to lean on the chair. Fold your hands in front of your chest and close your eyes.
Both are currently on their way out of town by train. Actually fear has haunted Arlan since he was first in that place. However, Arlan had no other way. The train is the fastest way to get to the city.
He was just trying to unravel the tension by closing his eyes.
“No.”
Just changed his sitting position to make it more comfortable, the phone rang again.
“That must be from your young wife again,” Andre chattered, but Arlan was still silent with his eyes closed. "Just answer me and tell me you're out of town. If you don't just throw it out the window."
Arlan opened his eyes. Staring at Andre was annoyed and immediately took out a mobile phone from his jacket pocket. True the guess of his friend, on the screen of the phone is listed Laura's name.
“Ya Laura,” Arlan said shortly after the call connected.
“Where are you, Mas? Why didn't you come home all night? You also didn't go to the boutique and made me wait for hours,” Laura scolded.
For a moment Arlan was silent while sighing. Look lazy. “Sorry, I forgot to report. I suddenly have to get out of town and can't be delayed.”
“Out of town?” Laura's voice shrieked. Make Arlan keep the phone away from the ear. “Then what about our wedding?”
“Just relax, I'll be home before the wedding day.”
“You're not playing me, are you, Mas?”
“Yeah Laura, I'm out of town on business. You and mom just get the wedding ready and make the party as lively as possible!”
“Yes right, Mas?”
“Iya-iya. I promised I would go home earlier,” he said holding back an upset. “Already yes, I'm on the road now.”
Arlan disconnects the call and instantly activates airplane mode on the phone. Otherwise, the disturbance from Laura might come again.
After opening the mobile phone gallery and looking at the photo Maysha taken from the photo album some time ago. Arlan was so at home looking at Maysha's plain-looking face with makeshift makeup.
Suddenly something unexpected happened. When the body of the car shook followed by the lights that went out.
“What is this?” peekkik Andre's.
Just sober that situation created a tense atmosphere. Some passengers screamed in fear. Arlan started to panic. The shadow of the gripping situation began to present filled the head. Makes his whole body feel weak. To just scream for help even Arlan seemed unable to. His tongue feels stiff.
He can only bend while massaging the head that increasingly feels throbbing.
Until a while passed, the train began to return to normal, the lights turned on and the atmosphere calmed down. Andre opened his eyes slowly. However, suddenly his entire body was tensed up again. Arlan was already lying down in a state of unconsciousness.
“Hey, Arlan!”
