Raka Mahesa is the second son of Rika Kinanti. His first son was Bayu Demian. Raka and Bayu are half-brothers but not half-dad. Bayu is the son of Rika's first husband Tanu Demian. Rika's mother Tanu Demian divorced due to economic problems at the time. She married Restu Mahesa, a successful hotelier.
The Mahesa family owns a hotel business run by Restu Mahesa. The hotel was named after his family Mahesa. Hotel Mahesa is run by Restu Mahesa and makes it one of the best hotels in Jakarta. After marrying Rika's mother, and given a son they named Raka Mahesa. Restu Mahesa is increasingly a successful entrepreneur who has a lot of investment everywhere.
But that happiness does not go to his family. Restu Mahesa caught Rika cheating on her with her ex-husband Tanu Demian. That ultimately left Restu Mahesa with a heart attack and eventually died. Be Raka an orphan when he was not a dozen years old.
Rika's mother later remarried to Tanu Demian and built her new business with Tanu Demian who is engaged in mining. Of course the marriage of Mother Rica with Tanu Demian is hated by her mother Restu, her grandmother Raka. While the Mahesa Hotel after Restu Mahesa, forced by her Grandmother Raka, Lady Sarah had to run and continue the hotel business however she could.
Raka who at that time did not understand the problems of his family could only accept with a chest of air. Including accepting Tanu Demian to be his stepfather. And Bayu Demian, apparently Bayu hated Raka very much because Bayu was envious because Raka could get the attention of her father and mother whom she thought Raka did not deserve.
The relationship between Bayu and Raka who never get along was carried away until they grew up. The two always disagree. Something made him always get into fights. Making Raka become more independent living away from his family, just to avoid a dispute with Bayu. He also prefers to live in Los Angeles and study film there.
Until in the end Raka also managed to become a Hollywood film director who often became a subscription to Oscar nominations. Raka deliberately chose his profession as a director rather than continuing his family business because he did not want to be involved in the struggle for office and power. So he played it safer to choose his job as a filmmaker in America there.
When Raka was at the peak of her popularity of being a director. Rika's mother asks her to marry an ordinary girl named Ajeng Agustina. At first Raka hated that match. But slowly Raka realizes that Ajeng is a girl who is good at making him depend on her. Until they finally got married.
Raka also did not know that all it was the setting of his grandmother to separate him from his wife Ajeng. And in the end Ajeng left him. Raka continues to look for Ajeng in the hope that he can explain and can convince Ajeng, if he will keep Ajeng by his side. But Ajeng prefers to stay away from Raka's life. And let Raka become a puppet of Sarah's grandmother who had to undergo an engagement with Arabella Husein. The daughter of Mr. Zayyed Husein who will provide investment to recover the Mahesa Hotel from bankruptcy. Raka then had no other choice but to follow her grandmother's request. But one thing that Raka is still trying to buy time. A request to marry Arabella. Raka is trying to make it possible that her relationship with Arabella is only limited to business fiancee. Because he didn't want to marry Arabella. She doesn't love him. He just loves Ajeng.

In order to erase her guilt on Raka Mahesa, Ibu Rika secretly searches for Ajeng and finds him in a place in Bandung. Rika's mother begs Ajeng, so that Ajeng can come back with Raka. But Ajeng's heart was too sick and hurt because of Raka's grandmother's words to him. If she is a woman who does not deserve to be a wife of the President of the Hotel Mahesa.
Feeling the most responsible person for Ajeng. Ibu Rika also forced Ajeng to go abroad at the cost of Ibu Rika. Unknown to Raka. Ajeng did not want Raka to know that she went to college with her mother's funding. It could be later Raka followed there and took her home again.
And Ajeng agrees with Bu Rika's plan to make her a different person and can make Sarah's grandmother make a big mistake with her. Ajeng also chose a college major that nobody expected. That is acting college, because Ajeng is determined to become a famous artist. In order to conquer Raka's arrogant grandmother. Ajeng's plan was also supported by Ibu Rika by financing her and paying an assistant who would accompany her abroad there.
Rika's mother finances Ajeng for a school in LA with complete facilities as her guilt for Raka and Ajeng. Not enough with that, Mother Rika sent Laksmi her assistant to be Ajeng's guard there. Laksmi is his confidant whom he got from one of his colleagues who recommended. Laksmi's personal and cold-hearted nature instantly made Mother Rica fall for her. In addition, Laksmi can complete her task well without much talk and compromise makes Mother Rica recruit her to help Ajeng. Ibu Rika's hope is that Ajeng can become a successful woman and her future is bright after receiving bad treatment from her family. That way if Ajeng becomes a successful person, he wants to reunite Ajeng with Raka. And if he succeeds, maybe Raka can forgive all her mistakes that have betrayed her father to death.
Although all what Mother Rica did was not necessarily able to erase all the sins she had ever made, but at least Mother Rica tried to re-unite a marriage relationship Raka and Ajeng. And for that Ibu Rika did not tell anyone about her sending a school assistant in LA.
