That afternoon Esha and Raffi were sitting at the edge of the pond while feeding the fish.
"Sister Raffi, can Esha find a job? Esha was bored for so long just sitting quietly in the villa?" ask Esha to her husband.
"You can't work! I'll meet all your needs."
"But Esha wants to work, sister. Esha wants to help Mom. Poor Mother. She's gonna ask Esha to come to Jakarta to work at the boutique."
"Let me give you some money for your mother. She's my mom, too."
"But Esha wants to make money from Esha's own efforts, sister to mother."
Raffi was silent for a moment to think.
"Then you're my personal secretary at the office, how?"
"Esha wants to, sister. But Raffi's office is far from here?"
"It can be arranged."

"Mama gave you a surprise on purpose, honey. Mama also just arrived, Mr. Imron who picked up earlier."
"Mama how are you? Why don't you come home, Ma?"
"Your father's busy, honey. He can't come."
"Papa is always busy. When is it busy?" Raffi clucked in annoyance.
"Oh yes dear, Aulia is returning to Indonesia tomorrow. She called Mama yesterday. So Mama Sama aunty Kania (mother Aulia) went straight home. Mama misses you both. We'll pick up Aulia at the airport tomorrow, okay?"

He has also won several prestigious awards.
After graduating High School, his career stalled because he decided to study in London following Raffi who first studied there. Aulia was Raffi's best friend since childhood. Even Raffi already considered Aulia like his own biological sister. But not with Aulia, she loved Raffi a long time ago. Raffi also knew that Aulia was always after him.
Their parents are also friendly. Now they work together to run a restaurant business in America. They intend to match Raffi and Aulia if Aulia has completed her studies in London.
Now Aulia has earned her bachelor's degree and will return to her homeland. Aulia calls Raffi to pick him up at the airport.
"Hello, Lia."
"Hello, Raffi. Pick up Lia at the airport tomorrow! Lia's coming home tomorrow."
"Okay Lia, Mama told you. What time's your plane landing?"
"Around two o'clock in the afternoon, brother. Oh yes, Raffi wants Lia to bring what?"
"No need, Lia."
"Yes, Lia closed the phone first, sister. See you tomorrow!"

Shortly thereafter, the awaited ones appeared. Aulia appeared from the door of the arrival. Aulia looked very beautiful with her glasses. Her hair is long brown. A sweet smile was engraved on her red lips. Aulia greeted the fans, reporters and reporters by waving her hands. The reporters stormed Aulia with questions.
"Mr Aulia, have you finished your studies in London?" ask one of the reporters.
"Mr Aulia, are you going to be a model again?" ask the other reporters.
"Mr Aulia are you getting married soon?" ask the others.
Aulia also answered the questions of the reporters while spreading her friendly smile. Then suddenly the girl's eyes caught the figure of Raffi, Bu Debby and also her mother who stood not far from her. Aulia left the reporters and walked over to them.
"Mom, Raffi, Aunt Debby, have you been waiting for a long time? I'm so sorry," said Aulia while hugging her mother, Miss Debby, then Raffi.
"It's okay Lia. How are you?" ask Raffi.
"Very good's. I miss you so much, sister" Lia replied with a spoiled smile.
