Rayan sat down and chatted casually with Daniel. Accompanied by a glass of cappuccino, the two talked about some of the latest issues in the business world.
‘’Ray, this morning your papa called. You know not what he said?’’
Rayan nodded, then took her half-living cappuccino glass and sipped it out. ‘’Ray is still at home here om, there is still much to Ray learn.’’ The 25-year-old does not want to inherit his family's company. He just didn't feel ready for such a big responsibility.
‘’Your position later, will make you learn many things Ray.’’
Rayan shook her head, looking apprehension at her black bead. ‘’Rayan is not sure om. Holding a company that big?’’ Not confident, afraid of something unwanted, especially considering the many employees who struggle to risk their fate in their company.
As the only child of a famous businessman, of course, it gives its own pressure to Rayan. Fear of not being able to keep up with the father, fear of failure and even disappoint all parties who have supported him.
‘’You can Ray, om sure it is.’’
Rayan smiled flatly. Mind raging.
‘’Ray, how about you make this a challenge? You like challenges don't you?’’
‘’Where can I play around with the future of many people om?’’
Daniel is smiling. ‘’Only do you intend to mess around?’’
Rayan shook her head quickly, making Daniel laugh. ‘’Do your job well, solve all obstacles that will block and make you fall. Om sure you understand what om.’’ means
‘’If failed?’’
‘’Om think you don't have this attitude.’’
‘’Means om?’’
‘’Since when have you been so insecure like this? Rayan who is familiar is Rayan who always tries to give her the best, no matter what prevents her.’’
‘’This time is different om, it concerns many people.’’
‘’You just need to do your best, as always. Never mind, om is not used to seeing your pessimistic attitude.’’ Om Daniel stood up, patted Rayan's right shoulder and passed into the room.
While Rayan, the man was still sitting, thinking about the words of Daniel. Yes, true said Daniel, sooner or later he will still replace the position of his father. Doing your best? Isn't that his skill? His confidence slowly returned.
Just now Rayan stood up and she was back sitting down. His first love called. ‘’Ray, why so long answer the phone?’’
Rayan smiled instead. This time especially? What drama will her mother play? Patiently, Rayan waited. The man put his phone on the table, the loudspeaker activated. Then he took the business magazine that had been read by Daniel.
‘’Ray, heart of your papa!’’ Instead of worrying, Rayan shook her head, smiled, put down the magazine and picked up her phone again. Rayan clearly knows that her mother (Mama Liana) is lying. This is not the first time and Rayan has memorized every trick that Mama Liana did. After all, when did his father have heart disease?
‘’Next week Ray home ma.’’ Fortunately, Rayan did not bring the phone to her ear. Can hurt his ears, when his mother screamed loudly, so happy to hear the news of Rayan's return. Understandably, it has been almost 7 years since Rayan decided to settle in France, with Daniel, the younger brother of his father.
‘’This is really ‘right? You no longer have prank mama ‘kan?’’ Mama Liana made sure, afraid that Rayan was lying and was just bullying her.
‘’Emang I ever boong same mama?’’
‘’Pake asked any.’’ Mama Liana giggled, soon heard her happy cheer again. Rayan also heard, as Mama Liana shouted to Papa Williams and told him about her return.
‘’Truly Ray?’’ This time, William asked.
‘’Iya pa, next week I come home and please don't pick me up at the airport.’’ Rayan warned, because she knew how her mother behaved. The middle-aged might invite neighbors as complex as they come to pick him up.
‘’And no welcome anything ma, please, okay?’’
Irritated sneer sounds obvious, ‘’iya!’’ Rayan smiled before ending the phone call.

A week later.
‘’Hallo ma, I have nyampe airport, yes.’’ Rayan called Mama Liana, as soon as she arrived at Soekarno Hatta airport. They chatted for almost 5 minutes, before Rayan ended the call.
Rayan, the man walked over casually, without caring about the large number of women who threw gazes of admiration for him. Want no matter how beautiful they are, not able to attract the attention of Rayan. Understand, the man already has a patch of heart.
Here he is now, in front of one of the luxury apartments located in The Dharmawangsa complex, South Jakarta.
‘’Ray ...’’ The corner of his lips rose, staring at the beautiful woman who was stepping quickly towards him. Yes, that woman, this 10-year-old woman occupies her heart, without the woman knowing.
The more beautiful the woman, with her hair cut short, praised Rayan in her heart. Watching him continue, Sana who stepped closer. Ah, only this woman can make Rayan deg degan.
‘’Ray, when is nyampe?’’ sana asked as she stood in front of Rayan. Instead of answering, Rayan pulled Sana in her arms. There was no resistance, Sana returned Rayan's embrace.
‘’Kangen, but never go home!’’
‘’Ya right almost every month you join mama to France.’’ Rayan again tightened her embrace that was a little slack.
‘’Application not hijacked?’’<TAG1> both diverted. A familiar voice greeted their sense of hearing.
‘’When are you?’’ Rayan's eyes and ears were wide open. Spontaneously she looked at Sana, who was still in her arms. Which is? Where do you call Aldo? Is this the wrong hearing, or ?
‘’Na, you just called Aldo what?’’ tanyanya wants to make sure. Sana smiled, took off Rayan's embrace and stepped up, hugging Aldo's waist.
The deg!
Whatisthis? What the hell's going on? The more agitated Rayan, seeing Aldo who had just put his lips on Sana's forehead. The two young men threw smiles at each other, their eyes could not lie, they were in flowers and it completely shattered Rayan's expectations, who was actually planning to express her feelings to Sana.
Rayan thought that Sana had liked her all this time, seeing the attitude of the woman who always came to visit her in France.
‘’You ...?’’ Rayan kept asking, just to be sure.
‘’Yesterday Aldo shoot me Ray,’’ replied Sana with his wide smile. Obviously, it was very clear that the woman was very happy. His eyes sparkle as if to tell how much he likes Aldo, the man who is also Rayan's best friend.
Sick? Of course, but Rayan tried to relax, as if happy with the dating news Sana and Aldo. Rayan stepped closer to the two. ‘’Welcome yes to you.’’ Then his hand was raised, shuffling the hair of the woman who had just broken his heart. ‘’Udah is not single anymore dong now,’’ he said like a teased, but who knows, how difficult he is to control emotions at this time.
‘’Ya and when will you catch up?’’ Aldo's question diverted Rayan's gaze from Sana.
‘’Following? Ah I don't have that wish now.’’
‘’Why? Remember age loh Ray.’’ There he protested. Rayan smiled bitterly, looking at Sana with a bitter look. How do you want to have a boyfriend, while the woman he likes is already the lover of his best friend? His love withers before it blooms. The story is over before we can start.
Aldo, the man just stared without saying anything.
Nearly half an hour was spent with Sana and Aldo. Finally he was alone, could no longer resist jealousy, because the two young men, always showing off affection.
‘’Kok fast bang.’’ There was a little objection, when Rayan said goodbye.
‘’You know for yourself how mom, she can nag, if I don't get home fast.’’ Forced Rayan to sell his mother's name, for no other reason, to immediately go and get away from Sana and Aldo.
‘’It's been that, can you meet again later.’’ The hotter Rayan's heart, when he saw Aldo stroked the soft top of Sana's head. In the past, he also often did the same thing, but it seems that now it will not be anymore.
A week since that incident, never once Rayan met Sana or Aldo. Every time Sana or both came, Rayan always pretended to sleep. Sometimes he also told his parents or his home ART to lie, saying that he was not at home.
This week Rayan completely cut off communication with Sana. Chat Sana was never answered, Sana's phone was never picked up again. It wasn't easy for Rayan, to accept Sana and Aldo's relationship, so, for a while, she wanted to stay away.

‘’Tight once mama's child,’’ welcome mama Liana to Rayan who just sat at the dinner table, using only her casual clothes.
‘’You want to wear that shirt to the office?’’ asked papa without distracting her from the plate, focusing on her breakfast.
‘’Iya pa, no problem right?’’
‘’Ya no problem dong Ray, convenience is number 1.’’ Papa just sighed softly, hearing his wife's wise reply.
‘’Ray, Are you dating Aldo now?’’ Rayan fell silent, the freshly taken bread was put down again.
‘’Ray do not take breakfast yes ma, in the office only later.’’ Papa Williams stopped eating. Looking at Rayan with question marks. Mama Liana had already given her a sharp look. Just getting confused, Papa Williams.
‘’Ngot very sensitive to the same feelings of your own child!’’ Papa William just kept silent, staring confusedly at the wife who also sauntered away, without spending her breakfast.
‘’They why the hell?’’ papa William's monologue.
*****
‘’Stop pack.’’ Rayan asked the driver to stop the car, at the starbuck booth which was only 2 buildings away from his company building.
Rayan step leisurely, ‘’Aduh, be careful dong!’’ Rayan was shocked, when a woman suddenly spoke in an annoyed tone. Rayan did not care, the man continued his steps without even glancing to stare. That woman hit him.
