As the days go by, Rara gets busier and tireless, often returning home late at night, and shuttles back and forth to deliver an order for Revan.
However, on this day Revan and Nico were already standing in front of his shop, it was likely that they would eat at that place.
"Your style is very crowded" said Revan, surprising Rara, who just delivered an order for her customers.
"Revan" he said, stepping towards Revan and Nico.
"What made you come here? You should have just called me" added Rara.
"I didn't call you on purpose. I want to eat here" Revan said, making Rara smile.
"All right, I'll get it ready, you guys just wait. You guys can sit there it's so comfortable." Rara said as she pointed at the very end of the table.
Revan and Nico stepped towards the table. Rara, running into the kitchen tells her mother to prepare Revan's order.
"Mama, please make a special meal, because there's a Director out there."
"O yeah? Mama wants to see what she looks like," said Miranti who was about to leave but denied Rara.
"Make the order first." Rara sulks. Miranti is back to cooking.

Gio had just finished examining his patients. Just a few days in the hospital the man has become a favorite doctor of all patients, especially children.
His work performance was able to hypnotize his superiors.
"Doctor Gio?" Call a female nurse. "You were asked to go to the Director's room" he added.
Gio just nodded then went to the Director's room. His attitude returned cold as before. However, it does not make women hate it even more like it.
Gio knocked on the door before entering. A man scolded it from inside.
Gio was very polite who immediately lowered his head when he met his superior.
"Sit down" said the old man. Gio sat directly in front of him.
"Director called me?" ask Gio.
"Yes, I love the way you work as a doctor. I hear you are always encouraging patients. Even those who are desperate. They are all passionate and willing to fight because of you" said the man.
Gio just smiled.
"I just did what I should. All patients here must feel isolated, let alone the disease they suffer is very frightening. All they have in mind is, until when to live, and when to die. They will keep saying how and how. That's why I never diagnosed my patients about ... how much longer they'll live" Gio said, leaving the director stunned.
"I heard your wife died of cancer, is that true?" ask the man doubtfully.
Gio looked at her for a moment then said, "I didn't think they knew about my life. I haven't worked here long."
"I also wonder where they know about you" said the man. "Forgot my words, then" he added.
"I want to invite you to dinner" said the man who looked at Gio.
"Thank you but ...," said Gio.
"Don't refuse. Later in the night I will ask someone to pick you up," said the man but Gio denied it.
"no need. Just tell me where I'll come from" Gio said.
"Well, I'll send you the address on my phone. Now you can get back to your work."
"Excuse me" said Gio, then got up and bowed respectfully. Then Gio left the room.
Gio walked into his room filled with sunflowers. His steps came to a halt in front of a chair then sat down while staring at the flowers.
He took a necklace from a drawer, with a sunflower pendant. All the memories of Tiara came back he remembered, even a pair of mums had now grown up which Gio still maintained.
All these things are in his room.
Out there, the nurses whispered to each other looking at the dreamy Gio. They kept watching Gio from behind the windowpanes.
"Yes. Rarely do people like flowers. I went into his room, there were a lot of sunflowers" said his friend.
"Have you heard? The doctor was married, but his wife died of cancer" the nurse whispered to her friend.
"I just heard it. I think he's unmarried, he's young and handsome" said his friend, grinning a horse.
"I think that's why he became a doctor. The man must have loved his wife very much" they said in unison.
They immediately crouched down, as Gio turned to the window.

"Thank you for coming, see you later" Rara told every customer who ate at her shop.
Rara sat weakly, sweat drenching her cheeks, until the face looked pale. Rara wanted to fall asleep for a while but could not, because the store is very crowded today.
The girl stood up to welcome the guests who came.
"Please sit down and order what? All right, wait a minute."
Rara left after writing down the order.
"Fire squid, rib soup, table order number 5," Rara told Miranti.
"Why your face? What pain?" miranti asked after looking at her daughter.
"I'm just tired, the body feels weak once" replied Rara.
"Rest, let this order Mama deliver. After this we close the shop and go home," said Miranti then went to deliver the order.
.
.
Arriving at Rara's house immediately went into the room. Strange, his body felt very weak, his face was so pale that cold sweat soaked his cheeks.
"Why this body?" his monologue.
Rara got up from the bed, stepped towards the bathroom. However, his steps came to a halt when something cold felt, coming out of his nostrils.
Rara immediately looked up, letting her head face the roof of the room. Rara grew even more surprised when she saw the red viscous liquid wetting her ring finger.
Soon Rara went to the bathroom to wash away the blood.
"I'm not usually like this" Rara said after washing her nose.
Rara went back to bed to sleep.
In the morning the fever is getting higher. Cold sweat soaked his cheeks, accompanied by a dry cough that stifled his chest. Rara woke up, started to get out of bed to get a glass of drinking water on the table.
His body was getting weaker, so it was not strong to stand.
"Rara, your face is pale. You sick?" miranti asked frantically until she touched the girl's face.
"Fever," said Miranti.
Eventually their tavern closes for today as Miranti has to take care of Rara. Rara's fever is getting higher, while Miranti only uses cold water to compress it.
"You rarely get sick. Seeing you like this I can't bear it" Miranti said.
"Mrs …." Call Rara with her weak voice.
"Don't talk, get some rest. Later we go to the Doctor," said Miranti and then out of Rara's room.
Elsewhere, Revan continued to look towards the tavern opposite his company. It is not usually that place is closed. In order to contact Rara, a taxi got off in front of the store and stopped her.
Revan sees Miranti opening her shop but not with Rara. Curiosity suddenly appeared, Revan immediately stepped across the road.
