"Where is it today, everything is going well." Laura asked Tari.

The two girls are currently having lunch together.

"Yahh can not be said to be completely good also sieh Ra."

"Your odd boss again." concluded Laura.

Dance shrugged, "Who else."

Since one year ago, Tari has moved several times to work, Sieh Dance is not not not uncomfortable with her job, the boss is the one who makes Tari never feel at home, wonder Dari, Tari, almost all the bosses in the company where he works are all odd and flirtatious, like to flirt with Dance, and Dari obviously does not like it, she is the intention to work, not to be the boss's dark lover, not to be his boss's lover, and this time Tari intends to resign, but it has not been released because he is currently looking for job vacancies.

Dari really hopes to have a boss who is really professional in work and instead of making his secretary as a lover of darkness, if there is such a man, Dari will bow down in gratitude.

"You are patiently Sabarin aja Tar, once you get a new job, then you have resigned."

"Ra, how difficult it is to get a boss who is not odd and flirtatious, wonder me, all the men who have been my superiors are all odd and ihhh..." Dance gets goosebumps by itself.

"Later you will definitely get a really alim boss, even just glancing at you just not interested."

"Aminn, that's what I was hoping for."

Over the past year, Tari tried to rise from her sadness and downturn, she tried to live her life even though everything was no longer the same as it used to be, from the outside it looks like Dari looks healthy and fine, but no one knows what Tari feels, the shadow of Adam and his baby always dominates the mind of Dance, and sometimes when she has no power to resist the longing of her husband and her baby, Dance no matter what time of day she would come to visit the grave of her husband and her baby to celebrate the hard days she spent without Adam at her side.

Several times Dari met Eve, her sister-in-law always gave her strength so that Tari did not grieve and live her life well, even Eve asked Tari to open her heart to another man to take Adam's place, but Dari was unlikely to do so, for her love was already taken to death along with Adam, Dance found it impossible for her to accept other men in her life, and in the end, Eve stopped persuading Tari, she never thought that Tari loved her late sister so deeply.

Johan: Dance, where you are, I have been looking for you, I want to make sure you have lunch together.

Dance snorted reading a message from one of her co-workers without intending to reply to the message, she re-put her HP on the desk and continued eating it.

"Who, your boss or that sik Johan" Laura said.

Laura knows all about the men who try to approach Dance, because Dance often complains about the man who tried to approach her to her best friend.

"Sik Johan."

"Say what he is."

"You're gonna eat lunch he said."

"It seems that sik Johan and sik boss you are very aggressive yes ngedeketin you Tar, crazy, widows are getting ahead, virgins like I'm not anyone doyan." kekeh Laura mocked herself.

Dance chuckled at Laura's rant, "Makanya, so girls don't picky-pickle amet deh Ra, so singles until now."

"Look who said it first, more your choice of Tar times, every time someone comes to be taken for granted."

"I'm not a voter, Ra, I just don't want to accept a new heart, because I still love Mas Ad very much....." Dance immediately fell silent when she was going to say the name of Adam, until now she still could not say the name of Adam without making him sad.

Feeling guilty about the conversation about Tari's ex-husband, Laura apologized, "Tar I'm sorry."

Dance smiled blandly, "It's okay Ra, indeed I just the more, a little bit sad, the departure of mas Adam was still affecting me until now."

"Lajar Tar you have not been able to forget Adam until now, because there are many beautiful moments that you have gone through together with Adam mas."

Dari nodded, "Byok eat again Ra, duhh kok so sad gini sieh."

"Yes" answered Laura.

The two women continued eating.

"Hi Tari, go home with yuk." invite Johan closer when the clock comes to work.

Johan had long loved Dance and Johan openly expressed his joy, but the Dance that was indeed the door of her heart was completely closed to other men never responded to the attention Johan gave her.

"Mmmm, I'm sorry Jo, but I have an appointment." replied Tari did not lie, she did have an appointment with Laura, because this is the weekend, her best friend invited her to spend time together, and she did not lie, whether it's watching, shopping, or whatever, the point is they want to have fun.

"Your boyfriend." Johan came to a conclusion.

"Not a mas, with my best friend." denied Tari.

"Cowok or girl."

Dance snorted, "If I don't want to answer that it's okay for you."

"Hmmm, it's okay sieh."

"Well then Johan, I'm first, it looks like my friend is waiting downstairs."

"Yes, be careful Dance."

Johan let out a frustrated sigh, but he was very clear to show his love for Dance, and various things he did to attract the attention of Dance, but the girl never cared about him at all, instead of feeling hurt over the treatment of Dance who always ignored him, Johan was increasingly challenged to conquer Dance, for women like Dance was rare, so Johan was determined to be able to get Dance.

"I can definitely get you a dance." Her inner self was convinced, "We'll see."

Mr. Deva is a ceo in the company where Tari and Johan work, and the man who already has a wife and three children also like Dance, but Johan who is single just not liked by Dance, but Johan who is single is not liked by Dari, moreover, Mr. Johan, yes it is clearly impossible to be considered by Tari to be used as a mooring of the heart, in essence, Mr. Johan wasalam deh.

True said Laura, the widow is getting ahead, even though she is a widow, many want to share Dance, including these two people are Johan and also Mr. Dafa.

Johan obviously very disliked the boss, especially the boss was also like Tari just like him, but since Mr. Dava is the boss, so, inevitably Johan must pretend to be friendly.

"Ehh, Mr. Dava, there's nothing, sir, I just want to make sure if Tari's home or not."

"Hmmm" said Mr. Dafa, "I warn you yes Johan, do not dare you near Tari, because I like Dance, only I can like Dance" said Mr. Dava arrogantly.

Hearing Mr. Dafa's words infuriated Johan, he clenched his hands, wanting to feel like he was punching Mr. Dafa, but his common sense still dominated, he realized who he was dealing with at the moment, who he was, so he could only hold his anger in his heart.

"And if I see you seducing Tari, you can be sure you will leave this company, understand you." he threatened and then passed away leaving Johan who looked at his boss with a look of wanting to kill.

"Fuck, if you don't remember you are my boss, I've sent you to the ER." Johan clenched his hands furiously, his hands were very itchy to punch his odd and flirtatious boss.

"Luke dear, come down to dinner." Oma Rosa who is Luke's oma knocked on the door of her grandson's room, but there was no word from the inside, oma Rosa pushed open the door and did not find the beloved granddaughter in her room, but oma Rosa heard the sound of water from the bathroom which made Oma Rosa believe that her granddaughter was currently in the bathroom.

Oma Rosa intended to wait for Luke so that they would both go downstairs, so she was led to the bed with the intention of sitting there to wait for the granddaughter who would come out of the bathroom, and when he was near, he saw many pictures scattered in Luke's bed, ora Rosa frowned in surprise to see the photos, and, he then sat down and grabbed the photo and watched the photos one by one, all the photos turned out to contain one picture l women, it made oma wonder.

"Who is this girl, she looks like a local girl, is she my granddaughter's boyfriend." she muttered expectantly considering the many photos of the girl that Luke had kept, and oma Rosa was happy if it was true that the girl in the photo was her grandson's girlfriend. Because since living with him, Luke has never been seen with any woman, and it makes Oma Rosa worried and think strangely because she thinks that her favorite grandson does not like women, and that he does not like women, and looking at the photo made his heart calm down a little.

Indeed, from the beginning of his arrival to America, Luke's intention was to forget the dark events that occurred on the night of the crash, so that when he arrived at the home of his grandparents in America, his grandfather and grandmother in America, he never brought up his life in Jakarta to his parents.

Once out of the bathroom, Lukas was surprised to see his oma who had been sitting sweetly in his bed, added surprised again when he saw his omanya hand holding photos of Dance, luke was looking through a photo of Tari sent by Parhan for the past year, and the photos had been printed by Lukas and he had them in a brown envelope.

"Oma, what the oma did in Luke's room." panicked Luke and approached his grandmother in a hasty step.

Luke only hoped that his grandmother would not complain about the photos to his mother, because every time he called, his mother always asked about her boyfriend, she said, unluckily for now Luke does not want to mess around with such things.

"The pretty girl in this photo is what your girlfriend loves." asked oma smiling knots full of meaning.

Luke seems misbehaved at his question, he grabs the photos scattered on his bed and puts them in a brown envelope, "Not oma, the girl is not my girlfriend." denied Luke.

"Not yes, the photos are so many, do you like the girl secretly Luke." she was still searching.

"Not the oma." Luke wants to take a photo of the dance that is currently held by his omana, but quickly oma Rosa keeps him out of Luke's reach.

"This girl is so beautiful Luke, she has such healthy yellow skin." Ima Rosa paid attention to the photo of Dance without caring for her grandson's words, "Oma likes it, ' she said, take her home and introduce oma and opa."

"Duhh oma, I told you that the girl is not my boyfriend, she's just..."

"What's it." go after oma Rosa.

"Just not anyone oma, come here oma behind her photo."

"If you tell your mom, your mom must be excited and definitely want to meet the girl in this photo."

"Don't oma, don't tell mama." Luke panicked when he heard his grandmother's words.

"Lho, why, mama you deserve to know who you like, anyways your mama's work every call is always checking oma and asking who your boyfriend is now, he said, oma until made dizzy by your mother." lamented oma Rosa considering the behavior of her daughter-in-law who always asked about Luke's girlfriend in America.

"Don't just oma, did I tell you that the girl photographed was not my boyfriend."

"You're Luke, you're still playing lies, why not be honest with you."

"Oma that I love the most in the world, Lukas does not lie in oma, this girl is not really my girlfriend" said Lukas very convincingly.

"If it's not your girlfriend, why would you keep her picture, this much more."

"She is a girl from Luke's past, she is...." Lukas doesn't want to tell anyone about his past, including his omens, but if he doesn't tell them who the girl is photographed with, he won't stop looking for her, the omana is the type of person who will not be satisfied to find people before his curiosity is fulfilled.

But when Luke was about to tell her who the girl really was, her phone rang which caused her to have to delay answering her question for a while, never in his life was Luke so happy to hear the ringing of his cell phone, he was so grateful to the person who called him.

"Mama." muttered Luke as soon as he saw the name on the screen, Lukas was surprised, his mother did not usually call him these nights, yes if Indonesia at this time might be daytime.

Lukas turned his head for a moment before shifting the green phone symbol, before he could say 'Hello' heard the hysterical sound of his mother across.

"Lukass."

Luke's feelings immediately became unpleasant when he heard his mother's voice, especially Luke very clearly heard the sound of the mother's sobbing.

"Ma, what happened, everything was fine." asked Luke hoping his mother would say 'yes' to his question just now, but Luke was sure his mother would not answer yes.

"Go home Luke, go home now, papa you, papa you have a heart attack son, mama.hiks hyks, mama is afraid of anything happening as papa you Luke, mama is very afraid."

Of course Luke was surprised to hear the news delivered by his mother, "Ma, mama is calm okay, rest assured nothing will happen papa, mama don't cry."

Shown how panicked her mother, let alone her mother, arguably, they do not have a family in Jakarta considering most of their families are domiciled abroad.

"Luke will come home, and tonight I will go home."

After calming his mother, Luke hung up the phone.

"Darling, what happened." licked oma even though she had heard the words of her granddaughter who had said that her papa would definitely be fine.

"Lukas will be returning to Jakarta ifa, papa, papa has a heart attack."

"Oh my son, oma came, oma wanted to know the state of oma's son." oma Rosa cried knowing that her son had a heart attack.

"Mom." Luke held his oma's arm, he did not want it to come, only the omanya was old, the journey from America Indonesia is not a trip that can be taken in a short time, "Oma should be here okay, Lukas sure papa will be fine, if Lukas arrives in Jakarta, Lukas will immediately contact oma to tell papa's condition."

"But Luke, oma is worried about your father's condition, oma will not calm down if you don't see him directly."

With patience Luke tried to give understanding of the same omanya, "Lukas ngerti oma, only, oma must also pay attention to the health of the oma as well, opa is also sickly and unlikely to travel far."

Oma Rossa nodded, confirming what her grandson had said.

"Oma should stay here okay, anyway, Luke will always report the state of papa 24 hours the same oma."

In the end, after being convinced by Luke, if Rosaa understood too, she abandoned her intention to follow after Luke had given her understanding.

And finally after a year of leaving his homeland, Luke finally returned, back where he had grown and grown.

"Okay Luke, everything will be fine, you can definitely deal with all this, the past will not affect you anymore." he convinced himself when he was about to board the plane, because after all, the past will not affect you anymore, the shadow of the events of the night could not be completely removed from Luke's mind, and now he had to return to his homeland, where the events took place one year ago.
