Unceasingly Aulia let out a long sigh along her journey towards returning to the store. There was no apology given by Aulia to Fatih because honestly, her heart was still not sincere to forgive the man.

Even so, there was one sense of relief that Aulia could feel after asking the reason behind Fatih's actions to her 10 years ago and Aulia had already gotten that answer.

It is hard to believe, if the reason behind the indecent acts that Fatih did to him was, just because of jealousy and also anger because he felt ignored.

"How can I see him? Not knowing each other, so. How could I possibly know that she liked me to the point of doing that dirty thing because I couldn't accept that I ignored her" Aulia muttered as she recalled the reason behind Fatih's actions to her first.

Aulia immediately drove her car towards the cake shop. Today there are still many orders that he has to complete until it seems, Aulia will work overtime tonight.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Aulia upon arrival in the store.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Mommy is back?" Answer the Gita that seems to be serving customers.

"Yes, Aliya's home?" Aulia asked again because it was an hour ago her daughter's schedule came home from school.

And today he couldn't pick up the little girl because he had to talk to Fatih. Aliya is picked up by Gita.

"It has. Oh yeah, inside there's a guest waiting for Ma'am."

"Who?"

"Yet yesterday I want to make a wedding anniversary. Did you forget?"

Deg

Aulia's heart skipped a beat when she heard that the person waiting for her was a woman who wanted to hold a wedding anniversary.

And as far as Aulia was concerned, that man was the wife of Fatih. However, Aulia did not want to guess, because if remembered remember again. His wife Fatih said it had been almost two months.

There may be other customers who will do the same. Not wanting to just guess, Aulia also immediately approached her guests who were said to be Gita waiting in the inner room of the store.

"Yes, then you meet the guy first." Aulia answered in the midst of her confusion.

"Yes, Ma'am,"

Aulia immediately left the store and headed towards the inside of her shop to meet her guests who were waiting for her arrival.

And when she arrived at the room, how shocked Aulia was when she saw a woman who had come with Fatih to her shop. Talking with his daughter Aliya.

"Assalamualaikum," Sapa Aulia When entering the room where there is her daughter and Sarah Middle sitting together while chatting.

"Wa'alaikum greetings, Mother has gone home?" reply Aliya who immediately rose up and greeted the Mother with reverence.

"Dear, have you eaten?" aulia asked her daughter.

"Had Bun, the message was with Brother Gita,"

"oh, yes it is better to rest now. Mother's still a lot of work,"

"Yes Bun. Aunt, Aliya said yes. Get some rest, please,"

"New mom coming?" greet Sarah as Aulia walks over to her.

"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting," replied Aulia who immediately greeted her guests.

"It's okay,"

"By the way, what's up? Is there anything I can help you with." Aulia asked after the two of them sat back on the sofa.

"I want a catering and cake message in this store for my wedding anniversary and husband," replied Sarah who looks so enthusiastic about preparing a surprise event for her husband.

"Can, for when and what date? Let me put it on the list," replied Aulia while taking a special notebook of customers in her bag.

Aulia began to write down everything that was ordered by Sarah. Starting from the typical sundanese heavy food, several kinds of cakes as dessert, and also including large cakes as a marker of the event.

Not to forget also Aulia recorded the date and

the place where the event will be held.

After talking about the event, Sarah finally resigned from the cake shop owned by Sarah. With Aulia in between, Sarah comes out of the store.

And when the two of them came out of the store, both of them were shocked by the presence of someone. Both Aulia and Sarah were shocked when they saw Fatih's figure there.

"Honey," cried Sarah who was so happy when she saw her husband there.

While Fatih himself only responded flatly to the warm welcome from his wife. The man's gaze was now on the hijab woman standing behind his wife.

"What are you doing here?" Sarah asked immediately pampered on Fatih's arm when she saw the man standing in front of the storefront, like he was picking some cakes there.

"Buy Mama's cake" Fatih replied coldly and flatly.

"Oh, all payin's got me huh. I also want to take some cakes to take home," continued Sarah while also choosing some cakes available in the storefront.

"Hhmm," replied Fatih who did not take her eyes off Aulia's figure in the least.

Not wanting to make Fatih's partner misunderstand, Aulia also chose to leave immediately from there. It felt uncomfortable when Fatih just kept staring at him when there was a woman he had married.

After Aulia left, Fatih just let go of Sarah's hand in her hand. Even the man could not hide his sense of disappointment as Aulia disappeared from his sight.

And it was realized very well by Gita who was silent watching the handsome man who was so perfect who was still standing in front of her.

"This is your order, sir, madam. Go ahead, and thank you for buying the cake in our store," Gita said after Fatih paid for all the cakes he took.

"Well, thank you," Sarah replied with a friendly smile.

In contrast to Sarah who was being friendly, Fatih himself just left without even saying a word again.

The man's face even turned sour, as Aulia passed away without greeting him. It was much different from when the man had just entered the store.

Although he did not see a smile on his handsome face. But Gita can feel if the state of the heart of the man is feeling a happiness.

Because it is proven that the look of his face is not as cold as usual. When he came to the shop early on, there was a slight change in attitude from Fatih after successfully talking to Aulia.

"It seems, there is an unfinished story between them" Gita muttered as she saw the change in Fatih's countenance after seeing Aulia's indifference.

Moreover, without guessing Sarah turned out to be there. To make Fatih's mood even more somber.
