Do not be sad about love. When you cry, that's the beginning of your happiness.

A month after Azharin finished her love affair. Hendri once came home, but Azharin did not open the door. For him, there was no more room to be able to get his blessing.
Azharin spent the days with the remains of the wreckage. The heart that he repeatedly set back, when night came was only a failure that he had built. Azharin often shed tears before going to bed. In the morning, he returned. He assured himself he would be fine without Hendri even without his parents.
"For Rin," said Sonia Azharin's best friend.
"For Nia" replied Azharin.
Azharin's headed for his desk. Put the bag down and get ready with the work. Azharin woman perfectionist. He's also professionalism, personal issues, will never get carried into the realm of work. That's why the staff and other friends are disinclined.
It is that nature that makes him look stiff in the eyes of colleagues and in the eyes of superiors. But from the public service, he was very lithe and friendly.
Azharin always focused on her work. Not much talking and not much joking.
No sense of the call the village is starting to call. Azharin tidying worktable. Files and maps and stationery are now neat. Sonia just smiled faintly. This sight is common.
"Rin, yuk's lunch." Nia.
"Ok, hang on." Azharin took out a cell phone and wallet. Then walk with Nia. They eat in the office cafeteria.
After picking up and paying for the order, they looked for a seat. Azharin only took a serving of meat soup and a plate of rice as well as a glass of orange ice.
"You got a problem?" asked Sonia while Azharin was still stirring the soup. Sonia finds out this is not the first time Azharin has been pensive in the break for the past month.
"Hm."
"You sure you let Hendri go?" chase Sonia.
"That's how." Azharin answered lazily.
If only Sonia hadn't seen Hendri with another woman who was spoiled last night in a mall. Sonia would never ask the continuation of Azharin's relationship.
"I'm sorry, I asked, because I saw her with another woman at the Mall last night."
It was impossible to be dismissed, if Azharin was surprised by the news. Bribes depend.
"so apparently. Turns out he's found another woman."
"You surprised?" ask Sonia.
"That's how." Azharin continued eating.
"May I ask?" said Sonia carefully.
"Ask."
"Are you sure you can see her pick another one or even marry another one?" Sonia stared intently at her best friend.
"I don't know. One thing I do know, that we can't be together without her mother's blessing." Azharin answered steadily.
Sonia looks to be breathing out. He knows Azharin's story. Azharin never asked for any solution. Azharin kept telling me what happened lately.

After returning home from work, Azharin stopped by a boutique in the luxury mall area. He wants to eliminate saturation. Azharin used to go alone if he was saturated. Although he was with Hendri. Azharin was also used to walking on her own.
"So when are you getting married?" ask a woman at a boutique.
Azharin was right behind the locker room door. He knew the voice of that woman. Yes, she is Megan's mistress.
"Not yet to know Auntie. Hendri is still evasive if asked about marriage. He must not have forgotten Azharin."
Azharin became even more shocked when she heard a familiar voice. Azharin kept quiet in the dressing room. He tried to strengthen his heart. He did not expect that the woman Sonia said was a friend in college.
"Don't take too long, aunt wants Hendri to get married and forget about that obscure woman!" The annoyed tone was still so thick felt in Azharin's ears. Azharin's chest rumbled withholding emotions.
"You're right too, aunt will arrange. If you're not the one who told me, aunt never knows. Hendri just said his father is not in this city and his mother prefers not to work and be a regular housewife" Ms Megan continued.
"Tante don't tell Hendri. He'll be furious and foil our plans. I loved him dearly, then, now and forever, but Hendri chose to love Azharin."
"Quiet darling. For aunty, you're just a aunt's dream daughter-in-law. You are from a good and beautiful family. You are also beautiful and educated. Especially less than you." Mrs Megan was so flattering to her future daughter-in-law.
"Thank you Auntie."
"Is there anything you want to buy? If not, let's find somewhere else. Auntie wants to go to the salon."
"Nothing's interesting, because Aunt's son is much more attractive."
"It could be you. Let's go."
Azharin came out slowly. He could have attacked both women. However, not his nature. He would rather avoid the commotion while he could. Azharin headed for the cashier. He put down the clothes he had tried.
"This is it, Ma'am? Is there anything else you want?" ask the cashier kindly.
"Enough. This is all." The words came out very little, but Azharin's tone was friendly.
Azharin continued to tour the mall. He's headed to a branded shoe store. What he just heard was like a dream. He did not expect his own sidekick to destroy him.
"Bruk .. aww," Azharin cried out small as his back was hit by the sturdy chest of a man so masculine. Azharin turned her head and raised a sharp gaze. The shoes he was holding fell down when he was shocked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you because I was looking at a cell phone" the man said guiltily.
"Mobile phones are the biggest cause of people making mistakes" Azharin said, relaxing but piercing hearing. The man only smiled obliquely at Azharin's scathing remark.
Azharin leaned over to pick up the shoes that had fallen off earlier. But the man first took it and gave it to him.
"Thank you." Azharin accepted after saying a word of thanks.
Azharin headed to the seat and intended to try on the shoes. He looked indifferent and no longer paid attention to the man. The man noticed Azharin's beautiful and stiff face. The face was flat without any cheerful aura there.
"The face is so cold. What are the advantages of this girl, so she asked me to guard her secretly."
Azharin watched in front of the mirror. He felt the shoes matched his feet and the funds in the wallet. He opened it and put his shoes on. Azharin tote her choice of shoes. Go to the cashier and put it on the cashier's table. Depositing multiple large-numbered banknotes after the cashier scans the barcode.
"It's free we gave it to Mbak, as the first beautiful woman to enter our store," the beautiful saleswoman said kindly to Azharin.
"Ohh yeah? First time there was a program like this I heard." Azharin couldn't get rid of the wonder.
"We just follow the instructions of the boss. Boss again happy for successfully opening a branch in another country." The sweetest smile was given by the two salespeople of the store.
"Geez, it's so light that my tongue makes up stories" said the saleswoman in her heart.
"Ohh well, thank the boss of this shop." Azharin picked up her shoe pack and thanked her again and left the shoe store. He doesn't want to think much.
"Here," said the man, proffering his credit card. All the shoe entries you wanted.
"Thank you, sir."
Pramuniaga takes and immediately processes payments. After that, the man returned the credit card and the man left the store without buying anything.
"What dream did we have last night, could have shoes this expensive," said one cashier to his co-worker.
"You're right, Fa. That stiff woman brought us blessings."
"Sstt, although stiff, her face was very beautiful. Her hair is beautiful."
"Feasy times the man hit the stiff woman's back."
"Yes, the man's soul trembles times."
"Vibrating, you think the earthquake is shaking," they joked that they filled the store that was not crowded with visitors.
