All the people who drove the departure of Mentari's mother have now started to go home one by one. However, not with all of them who had accompanied him, especially Azriel.
Mentari saw the tombstone inscribed with his mother's name, it felt like everything happened so quickly, just that he and his mother laughed together at night. However, now that his mother had rested quietly in her final resting place, there was no more advice and also scolding of her mother when she made a mistake, no longer his mother who gave encouragement when he felt down.
"It's late, we're home, okay? Tonight I will stay at your house" said Khanza, the mother of her lover. Mentari looked at the khanza without answering, only a melt of water came out from the corner of his eye.
Mentari nodded and Azriel helped him slowly to leave his mother's final resting place, even though it was painful to lose the one he loved. Mentari tried sincerely. Convince in his heart that the living will surely die. He just had to wait for the turn when he had to catch up with his father and mother who had left him first.
Arriving at home, Mentari went straight into his mother's room and came back crying, he was crying there, he read the holy verse of the Koran for his mother. He was alone in that room. He left it to his neighbors and Khanza who was still present at the prayer to entertain those present.
"Silver eat first yes, this afternoon Brother has not eaten," said Aisyah approached Mentari, Mentari just shook her head and continued to sit on the floor while hugging his mother's clothes. However, his heart was still not sincere about the sudden departure of his mother.

The day passed so quickly that now a month had Mentari's mother left her daughter.
Mentari went back into the kitchen, this is the first time he went back into the kitchen. Where is where he and his mother used to make cakes, ranging from the two of them to the increase of employees. During this month also Mentari did not receive any orders, he just continued to focus on treating the pain in his heart will lose his mother. He continued chanting the holy verse of the Quran and calming himself by going to places that could calm him down,
Every weekend he would visit his mother, initially feeling ill. However, as time went on and he was able to give his mother less pain.
After preparing all his business needs to sunbathing as usual to visit his mother.
The sun sprinkled a rose over the mother's grave, she always sobbed as she sprinkled the flower. However, not for this time, a smile was engraved on his lips.
"I ask for a prayer, Mom. Hopefully our efforts and ideals can run smoothly, sorry because Mentari did not continue our business for several days. We disappoint our customers. Mentari sincerely mother go to face the creator, Mentari sure at this time the mother is in a place that makes the mother comfortable and happy, the mother must have met the father," gumam Mentari still sprinkled roses on the seers of his mother and father.
A sigh and spirit makes Mentari finally rise from the tomb of his parents with a new spirit will restart his business.
As soon as Mentari arrived in front of the narrow alleyway, he saw Azriel along with her parents in an empty building in front of the alley, where there Mentari and his mother ever wanted to make a shop there. However, because they lack funds they have not had time to buy the store, Mentari also approached them.
"What are you doing here?" tanyanya saw the character that had been closed now looks open and seen signboard attached to the front of the store is a cake that has been sold.
Azriel gave a map containing the store's purchase letter, Mentari looked at them all after seeing what the contents of the map were.
"This is not a gift, but a loan. Pay everything if you already have money," said Azriel pointed to the price of the store listed in the store's sale letter.
Mentari smiled, "Alright, I'll pay. Remember this is a debt, you have to question me if I am negligent and forget to pay my debt to you" Mentari said, making them all laugh. Azriel believes that if he just gave it to her, Mentari would not accept it.
When Mentari entered the store he was again surprised when the store was ready to operate, there were so many cakes in the storefront and all were the cake menu that had been sold, he said, likewise with the employees, they also have a stand to welcome Mentari with a big cake to welcome the arrival of Mentari. Where today is also his birthday.
Rusmi has not only hired them. However, he also taught some of the recipes they sold to all of them, making the cakes made by their employees with the same taste they had been selling.
"What is this recipe cake?" tanya Mentari looked at one of the cakes that were not the recipe for the cake she sold.
"This is my cake, brother. I'm not trying to sell it here, it's my own idea" said Aisyah.
"Yes, of course I'm not papa. You can put up any cake here," said Mentari made them all smile happily and Mentari began cutting her birthday cake and handing it out to them all who were there.
Mentari posted on his social media account where he had also posted his sales there. Saying that today he has opened a new store, do not forget Mentari included photos and also the address of the store and said if, Especially today everything in his store is free, free, they can come and taste it. But, if you want to take home of course must be purchased, free just to eat at their place. Tulus Mentari in his caption accompanied by a smiling emoticon. Where in the cake shop it was more like a cafe, it was Aisyah's idea there were several cake storefronts and also they produced her cake in that store. If anyone wants to eat the cake directly they also prepare a place to relax on the second floor of the store.
Khanza and Aisyah helped serve the buyers, they were very happy to make Lucia feel upset, she continued to feel neglected because of the existence of Mentari.
"I know Mentari is mourning the passing of her mother, but she doesn't have to have this much love."
5 Months passed so quickly, Mentari store is very crowded, even Mentari again had to add employees to fulfill orders. The store was paid in full, Mentari actually paid for the store even though Azriel did not want to accept the money and considered the store a birthday present. However, Mentari did not want to feel indebted and forced Azriel to take the money and within 5 months Mentari managed to pay for the store, income for 5 months coupled with savings that have been prepared to pay for the store.
Azriel only accepts the money, perhaps by accepting it it will be good for Mentari and in the future.
Mentari who initially wanted to continue his studies with Azriel has now made the decision to focus on his shop alone, he felt unable to if he had to take care of the character and also learn.

Lucia walks back and forth in her room, it's been 8 months she's been living in the country. However, with no progress at all, Azriel avoided him even more. She was so frustrated that last night her mother called if she still couldn't get Azriel's heart, she'd better go home.
"Alright, don't blame me if I have to do all this" Lucia said, next month is his birthday he has asked Azriel to celebrate his birthday in a cafe and Azriel does not care about it. She will celebrate Lucia's birthday at the cafe she wants.
Night Lucia's heart goes into Azriel's room. Azriel had just finished her bath. Azriel is surprised by Lucia's arrival in her room, when the clock is already showing at 11.00 pm. moreover, look at the sexy clothes used by Lucia who sits at the side of her bed in a seductive style.
Azriel just came home from the office, he had to overtime because his many jobs made him come home at 10:00 last night.
"Lucia, why are you here?" azriel asked as Lucia approached her with a smile on her face.
"I'm afraid to sleep in my own room, can I sleep here tonight?" lucia said, her index finger was already stuck to the chest of Azriel's field and made abstract patterns there.
Azriel who felt uncomfortable immediately brushed aside Lucia's hand.
"Get out of my room, Lucia. Remember your limits" he said.
"Come on, I just want to have fun. I promise after tonight's gone I'll forget everything." Lucia undressed her nightgown, revealing sexy lingerie inside. Lucia smiled triumphantly as she saw Azriel staring at her body.
With courage Lucia approached and pulled Azriel's nape closer to his face. Azriel is a normal man, seeing the beautiful body of Lucia and also the movements of Lucia that arouse her desire to make her hooked.
They both enjoyed the kiss they had. However, Azriel who suddenly realized what she was doing pushed Lucia's body, making Lucia almost fall because of Azriel's sudden impulse.
"Little woman! Get out of my room!" said Azriel who immediately picked up Lucia's cloak and threw it in her face, she immediately walked up to the door and opened the door wide.
"Lucia, get out of here and I'm warning you that once again you go into my room without my permission I'll make sure you get out of this house!" azriel looked at Lucia with a flaming look, no longer the passionate look she showed. However, a look of anger over Lucia's sassiness.
Although she was upset, Lucia came out of the room, she flanked her hands tightly.
As soon as he got to his room, he immediately took his cell phone calling someone who had offered him cooperation to trap Azriel into touching him.
"Well, I'll pay you as you wish. Make sure Azriel's inside our device" Lucia told the man across the street, he is very upset at Azriel's rejection and this time with the cooperation of the person behind the phone he is sure that Azriel will fall in his trap. One year of his patience will bear fruit, if Azriel will not be with him properly he will do it by force.
Lucia only has a few months left and she doesn't want any words of failure.
