The Love Story of CEO & Cafe Maid
The Past Revealed
Tonight, Razka will pick Hani up for dinner with her father.
While waiting, Bu Sukma reprimanded Hani who was wearing a bag from Razka. “New bags huh? How come Mom just saw. From Razka huh?”
“Long time, Mom,” replied Hani briefly.
Bu Sukma then complained about Razka who had rarely played at home. He wants to meet his former candidate. Instantly Hani's thoughts were bad for his mother.
“Searching Razka for more money?” guess Hani is suspicious of her mother.
“Yes if Razka wants to give ‘kan is okay, Han. After all last Razka gave money 500rb that time ‘kan long ago, yes it's out of money Mother,” replied his mother honestly.
Hani was surprised to learn that his mother had asked his lover for money again. “So I'm asking for Razka's money again? Hani ‘kan already said, when I asked for money 2 million it was for the first and last time.”
Bu Sukma fully defended not agree with Hani's request. For him, it is only natural that Razka also gave money to his future father-in-law. After all, later when Hani and Razka are married, they are also still obliged to give money to him.
After Razka's car came, Hani immediately said goodbye to her mother and immediately got into the car without caring about her mother who wanted to meet Razka.
“Why, Honey? How rushed? I have not said goodbye to mother,” said Razka who was confused to see Hani directly into her car.
Hani asks Razka to immediately enter the gas. He also rebukes Razka who did not tell him when giving money to his mother again. Razka said that if it was not a problem for her, she did not feel highlighted by her future father-in-law.
“Your mother is right, if we are married, we still have to give her monthly money. I guess, your mother wasn't completely wrong Han.” Razka defends Hani's mother.
Razka then pinched Hani's adorable cheek.

At one of the fine restaurants, Razka's father had been waiting for them at one of the tables. Razka invites Hani to approach her father. Nervously, Hani looks at Razka's father.
Gutama looked at Hani so deeply. As if he remembered someone. His gaze seemed to be able to feel the sincerity of the woman his son loved. Likewise with Hani when he looked at Razka's father, reminding his longing for the father who has long gone.
Razka invites Hani to sit down, then starts introducing Hani to her father, and vice versa.
Razka's father reached out his hand which was warmly welcomed by Hani.
“Hani, how are you?” Razka's father started to open the conversation.
Hani nodded. “Good, Sir.”
Razka's father asks Hani to call him father, so that their relationship does not seem far away.
Razka who has told a lot about Hani, makes Gutama not much to ask about Hani's life. He still looked astonished at Razka who seemed exactly the same as him, about his choice. Gutama then invited Hani and Razka to order the menu.
Hani doesn't talk much because he's afraid of being wrong. There is a feeling of shame and inferiority faced with Razka's father, a successful businessman. It feels like he doesn't deserve to be at 1 table with them. Hani's fear is apparently seen by Razka's father.
Razka's father then asked Hani to be more relaxed. “The same time your future-in-law is stiff like this, Han?”
Razka clasped Hani's cold hand. It was like knowing the feelings of his current lover. Razka also makes sure that her father has accepted Hani, so she should not be afraid of her father.
“Oh yes? Since when? Angga has not told me,” said Razka did not expect Angga would be wise to make a decision.
Hani also told about the reason Angga did that.
Razka's father was also proud of Hani. “Angga is an educated man who does not carelessly take decisions. He must have thought carefully why choose you, surely because he believes and is satisfied with your performance so far.”
After their order arrived, they began to eat dinner while chatting casually.

After taking Hani home, Razka returned to her apartment, as her father was waiting there. There was something he wanted to talk to his father about. While Razka was not comfortable chatting at home because she did not want her mother to interfere with her chat.
“So, Daddy likes Hani?” Razka made sure that her father approved of the relationship.
His father just smiled, then nodded and hugged Razka.
“Hani is very similar to your mother,” said the father.
Razka immediately let go of her embrace. He disagrees with his father. He did not accept Hani being equated with his mother. Razka is very comfortable when she is with Hani, different when she is with her mother.
“Your biological mother,” continued Razka's father who confused Razka.
“Mother Lita is not Razka's birth mother?” razka asked trying to understand what her father said.
Father shakes. His face looked sad. He walked to the window and looked outside.
“Your mother has died while giving birth to you, her name is Holy, as per the person,” replied Razka's father while taking a photo of his late wife from his wallet and giving it to Razka.
Gutama began to tell stories related to his family's past. He felt Razka was old enough to know everything. That Lita, is only the mother. Women who are more blessed by Grandma Razka, than Saints. Apparently, the age of Saints is not that long, so inevitably he married Lita, according to his mother's wishes. For Razka to also get a mother's affection when she starts growing up.
Hearing his father's explanation, Razka was quite surprised. At once he understood why his nature was different from his mother and they often argued. He then asked his father to continue telling stories.
Gutama business began to develop well at that time, until he suskes in his young age. His mother felt inappropriate if he was still dating Suci, the cake-seller's woman. Gutama and Suci dated for a long time, even Suci who accompanied Gutama to the peak of his career. They met while Gutama was working on a construction project from the owner of a cake shop where the Saints were supplying his cake.
Gutama fell in love with Saints who loved him so sincerely, when he had not become anything. He is very gentle and loving. He even refused to be betrothed to the man of his parents' choice, just to wait for Gutama's readiness.
“So much struggle waiting for Dad to succeed, until he was willing to get married late and fight with his parents. Of course, Dad also wants to make her happy by marrying him, also making a cake shop like his dream. But honey, your grandmother doesn't approve of us. But I still insist on marrying your mother because my feelings have stopped for her, can not move to another heart. Until one day I regretted not being able to take care of your mother while you were pregnant. I'm busy working, not realizing that Grandma's treatment of your mother is so cruel and heartless. Unfortunately, your mother never complained about it to me. The inner torment your mother received, made us almost lose you. But, your mother was so good at keeping you. Until the time of giving birth to you, maybe because the pressure experienced by your mother has peaked to damage her physical and mental health, she can not save herself, after she fought for your life to be born in the world,” reveal the father.
“30 minutes after she gave birth to you, she breathed her last. Your mother had advised Dad to always love and take care of you until anytime. He asked Dad to raise you lovingly, because only Dad you have,” Razka's father's cries tell the past.
Razka was unable to hold back her crying and hugged her father again. This was what he had felt all along, being raised lovingly by his father. This is also the reason for his closeness with his father.
“If you want to feel the affection of your mother, you will be able to see it in your child later.”
