A few days later...
The state of Arsyila is getting better and Arsyila has been able to do light activities - light. However, to go back to teaching in his place previously could not Arsyila do. Although the head of the foundation had told Arsyila to return to teaching, but Arsyila seemed not ready to meet with the crowd after the video spread. Arsyila needed time to return to neutralize her fragile soul.
That morning Maida came to visit Arsyila, Maida who was sometimes busy with her work but still could take time to visit Arsyila's house.
"Oh my God, Mai. You brought all this for me?" arsyila asked in shock after seeing Maida's luggage that she had placed on Arsyila's dining table.
"Yes, Arsyila. This is not how good, just there are fruits, bread and vitamins that are safe for you and your fetus." explained Maida while removing all her groceries.
"God, thank you very much Mai. And I'm sorry to bother you so much" said Arsyila.
"Absolutely no hassle, Arsy. We have known and been friends since childhood. So, if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me, Arsy. Unless you don't think I'm a friend anymore" Maida said and purportedly frowned. Arsyila immediately embraced her best friend.
"Yes, dear Maida. As a friend I also do not want to make you bother, but this time I still thank you very much as you who have helped me a lot and also Ardan. Because, as you know I don't work anymore while Ardan only a few days into work and of course he hasn't got any results from his work" said Arsyila with his own face.
"Yes.. Same - Same, Arsy. This is the only doank I can do. Oya, what about Raihan?" asked Maida in a quiet voice. Hearing Raihan's name called, making Arsyila's face immediately changed.
"Sorry, Maida. I don't want to talk about it." replied Arsyila by turning her face out the window. Maida seemed to understand and no longer asked about Raihan.
A while later, Ardan came out of his room already dressed neatly. He's going to his work place. Before leaving, Ardan paid a farewell with Arsyila and also Maida.
Ardan works as a waitress in a cafe that is famous for its many visitors. Arriving there, he immediately did his job is to serve visitors who have begun to arrive. At the same time, there was a cafe visitor who called Ardan to order food. Ardan who had just recorded the order from the previous person, just walked straight towards the person.
However, his footsteps immediately slowed down after he found out who the person who called him just now was. So was the person who was as shocked as Ardan.
"Ardan? Ye.. Working here?" ask the woman who turned out to be a cafe visitor Raina.
"Yes" said Ardan in a cold tone.
"Sorry, what message would you like?" ask Ardan who remains professional with his profession. Although at first he was a bit upset he also met Raina here who he recognized as the sister of his brother's husband.
"When did you work here?" instead of answering Ardan's question, Raina asked him again. Ardan seemed lazy to answer Raina's question. Not to mention the many pairs of eyes that looked at him with a strange look.
"I'm sorry, if you don't want my message anywhere else yet" said Ardan then moved on from there. Raina immediately pouted seeing Ardan's departure.
Ardan seems busy serving other visitors. And he acted as if he was unaware of the presence of Raina who had been watching him since. Until finally, Ardan who just finished recording another customer order, suddenly surprised with a smooth pat on his shoulder.
"Can come with me for a minute" said someone who turned out to be the cafe manager. Ardan nodded and followed the manager's footsteps.
"Yes, Sir. What's up, sir?" asked Ardan confusedly.
"Please serve the customers there right now!!" he said tightly while pointing his index finger at Raina. Ardan swallowed Saliva. Raina had not ordered any food at all.
"Good, sir." Ardan then rushed towards Raina.
"Please, what message would you like?" asked Ardan after arriving beside Raina.
"So this is how you serve your customers?" raina quipped with a cynical tone. Ardan who was down and ready - ready would take note of the order, instantly raised his head.
"The way you're too cold, stiff and unfriendly." Raina said in a snobbish manner.
"Sorry Raina, I don't have time to pay your attention. You better just mention what your order is let me take note immediately." said Ardan again.
"I want to have a serious conversation with you, Ardan" said Raina who instead switched the conversation.
"I'm at work, there's no time to talk to you." replied Ardan.
"Sad.. Arrogant, your style is so pretentious." led by Raina with a small laugh.
"I'm not arrogant, but I'm busy. You can see for yourself a lot of visitors in this cafe" said Ardan in a quiet voice. He did not want his conversation with Raina even heard by the Manager of the cafe who had been watching them from a distance.
"Yes, it's beautiful when you're done with the job." Raina finally broke up.
"You're a message?" asked Ardan without any concern for Raina's previous words.
"So, but.. You promised you'd see me when you're done with work" said Raina, who made Ardan's forehead immediately frown upon hearing his words just now. Of course this is a big question mark in Ardan, why suddenly Raina insistent on wanting to talk to him. In fact, before - before not talking to each other, just looking at each other can be counted fingers when they accidentally cross the campus. And now it came - suddenly Raina wanted to chat with him.
"Yes, so what's the order?" ardan replied finally, even though it didn't match his heart. Ardan just did not want to linger - long there, there are still many other visitors that he must serve.
"Okay then, I want a message..." Raina then mentioned some of her orders.
A few hours later...
It was 10 p.m., and Ardan was about to get ready - ready to go home. Just after he got out of the cafe, a luxury car stopped in front of him. The owner of the red car immediately opened his car glass and immediately the face of a beautiful woman was immediately caught by Ardan's eyes.
"Raina??" lirih Ardan after realizing that in the car is Raina.
"Where? Can we talk now, right?" raina said with a big smile.
"Sorry, Raina. I'm hunting-hunting to go home. My brother is alone at home." refused Ardan and walked away from Raina's car. Raina got out of the car and called Ardan.
"Wait, Ardan. You promised and said yes" Raina said half-screaming. But, Ardan did not press it at all. He continues to drive to his motor park. Raina who was getting annoyed and then came back screaming.
"Ardan, what I want to talk about is important. About your brother and my brother, Raihan." cried Raina. Ardan turned his head for a while, but after that he just shook his head and turned back.
"I know something about your sister's pregnancy, Ardan." cried Raina again, this time making Ardan immediately stop and turn his body back towards Raina.
