2023 Years.

Busyness is always a routine every day for a woman named Aulia Dara who has now changed her name to Aulia Rahma. In a building that Aulia managed to buy, Aulia built a cake business that now has enough names and knows by many people.

Not infrequently Aulia also gets orders from famous people such as celebrities and state officials who will hold an event and ask the Aulia store guard to provide snacks for the banquet at their event degree.

Like this morning, Aulia was so preoccupied with the large number of orders for the socialite gathering event that had become her regular customer.

"Bak I sent her stuff first huh? I'll be home from the drop off, and I'll pick up Aliya." Gita said as she approached Aulia who still looked busy in front of the cake window displayed in the front shop.

“Alright, go and take care to bring the car. Sorry yes, again Ma'am troublesome you,” replied Aulia who today did not have time to pick up her daughter because she was too busy preparing a cake order to be taken today.

“Santai Mbak, besides the address I will go to is also one way with his school Aliya, so all the way. Yes already, I walk first Ma'am. Her people are waiting for her cake,” replied Gita who already considers Aulia is her family.

“Iya, heart to heart yes,”

Gita finally left the cake shop that has been almost five years into a place to make a living and can help the economy of his family is fairly simple family.

After Gita, Aulia was again preoccupied with her ordered cake. Until the sound of the door being opened turned his attention from the cake to the door of his cake shop.

“Good morning there is something I can ban__,” Aulia greeting just evaporates when I see who the person who just entered her store.

Aulia's body was frozen again with the arrival of the man. When the man stepped into his shop, Aulia reflexes stepped back and away from the window table.

“A_there are bi_can I help sir?” aulia asked stammered as the sharp net stared fixedly at Aulia's beautiful face that had now turned pale.

With great difficulty, Aulia also tried to be professional to each of her customers. Although at this time, it felt so difficult for Aulia to do while, her body was again made to tremble when faced with the sharp gaze of the man.

The man was flinching, but his net just kept on the face that now looks more beautiful and graceful in a dress of Muslimah syar’i who was in use.

“Sorry sir, can I help you? do you need cake in my store?” continued Aulia when there was no answer from the man who wore a suit complete with a tie that coiled beautifully around his neck.

“What, is DARA?" ask her with a stifled voice.

It still can not be trusted, if the woman who had been looking for her wisdom is now in front of her eyes.

Aulia's body was again made to shake when events after events in her dark past were once again present in her memory.

How Fatih who dragged him into the dark and dirty warehouse, how painful when Fatih's manhood was forced into the core of his body is still sealed. Then how do a broken Aulia Dara when Fatih disavowed if she was the perpetrator of abuse to make Aulia pregnant and then expelled from school disrespectfully.

"Sorry sir, you're wrong. If there is no interest please leave, I am not able to serve customers who just want to play games," replied Aulia after being able to control herself.

Fatih herself only responded with a smile, upon hearing the answer given by Aulia.

"You may be able to deceive everyone on this earth, Dara, but not me. Alfatih Brahmaseto will never misidentify people," his reply was filled with confidence.

"really so? If it's like that, then why did you misjudge people?" Aulia replied again displaying a gaze filled with disappointment.

"That time, I ti___,"

"Enough, don't go on. It's all over, go. Suppose we never knew each other. That way, we can live well with each other's versions of ourselves without having to remember the past that is not worth remembering."

"Well, please give me some time to explain,"

"All has passed. Never be picked up again, go. I'm busy," replied Aulia who again busy herself with her activities that had been delayed because of the presence of Fatih there.

"I beg Dara," please Fatih with a hearty look.

"Stop calls me Dara. There is no such thing as Dara here, Dara is dead as you ruthlessly snatched away one of her most precious ones that she had. Dara was dead when you said it was a cheap woman. Dara, she's been dead since then. So please sir, don't look for him again. Go, I beg you," said Dara with a slightly raised tone as Fatih continued to call her by the name of Dara.

Fatih's heart again felt lost from her body as she looked back at the gaze filled with destruction in Aulia's eyes for the second time. The first when Fatih disavowed if he was the father of the fetus that Aulia was carrying.

And second, right now. When Fatih came back with a million wounds that Aulia had managed to heal now Fatih made the wound gap again.

"Ok, I'm leaving. But remember, I'll be back until you want to talk to me" replied Fatih who would not want to finally choose to give up.

She knew that Dara or Aulia would not be that easy to accept herself even if it was just to talk. However, Fatih would not give up until Aulia would listen to everything she wanted to convey since 10 years ago.

Including the apology that he had wanted to convey to the woman 10 years ago. Even Fatih intended to take responsibility, but looked at Aulia's current reaction.

It seemed like Fatih had to work a little harder again to be able to speak from heart to heart together with Aulia. At least, until the woman is willing to listen to everything she wants to say.
