Rafi wanders around inside the distro while keeping an eye on employees and buyers. As the owner of the distro, Rafi still greeted the friendly customers. He was happy because the sale of his clothes was increasingly in demand by people in Toronto. Rafi then saw the window, out there the day began to be orange. He was looking for someone who was not present in the distro. Someone who usually helps him in the distro. It was none other than Lena.
"Maybe Lena is busy with her college work" said Rafi.
When Rafi was about to turn around, the door of the distro opened. Lena just got there. Rafi turned to the girl. But Lena's face was flat then busy reaching for the bag. Rafi frowned in surprise seeing the unusual Lena. Which usually cheerful Lena and greet Rafi when entering into the distro.
"Where did you end up?" ask Rafi.
Lena looked at Rafi with her eyes wide and replied, "tumben, I was asked like that. Usually never asked where?"
"Yes, usually you permission via chat if late to the distro or absent to the distro. There's just no permission today."
Lena thaws. "You know it."
"Are you talking about it? PMS again, yes, you."
"So what am I gonna say, huh? Forgetting to."
"Basic freak." Rafi looked at Lena from the tip of the hijab to the shoes.
"I talked about Bang Rafi fighting with Henry yesterday, didn't I? I want to rebuke Bang Rafi so as not to bring trouble in Kak Fira's household," Inner Lena. He stared cynically at Rafi.
"What the hell is that? Look at me all along." Rafi then sees herself because she is stared at by Lena, as if Lena is looking at her mistake.
"I'm just gonna go on with the job."
"Hey, you haven't answered my question. Where did you end up?"
Lena just passed Rafi. Rafi was furious because Lena ignored her. The girl rushed to the dressing room. Rafi looked around, she smiled as her conversation with Lena became the center of attention of the customers. The man in the black shirt got out of there.
Rafi and Lena are at the cashier. Rafi's eyes could not be separated from the girl's face. While Lena calculated the total clothes purchased by customers. Lena is so good at managing cash register machines. He handed over credit cards to customers as a form of successful payment. Lena then clenched both hands while showing hospitality to customers to be comfortable shopping for clothes in this distro.
"I'm still curious, where did you come from?" said Rafi.
"Kok Brother wants to know!" furious Lena.
"You're usually honest when you're going nowhere. This tumben is like something to hide" Rafi protested.
"I want to ask you something first."
"Ask what?" Rafi astonishment.
"If one day there is another woman who loves Bang Rafi, how would you respond? Does your brother accept his love or vice versa? Answer honestly."
Rafi gasped at Lena's statement. Lena looked at Rafi as if she was waiting for an answer from Rafi. The man before him momentarily scratched his nape. Rafi looked up at the ceiling of the distro. The man with the bustle on his chin was confused as to what to say.
"Bang," call Lena.
"Hmm" said Rafi.
"Abang there is still a taste, yes, same Brother Fira. So that you have difficulty answering my questions," continued Lena.
"Not that either."
"Want to?"
"Yes, I am thirty years old anyway. I enjoy taking care of the distro. So, until there is no thought of looking for a soul mate. But does anyone want to be with me?"
"If anyone wants to be with you, what?"
"Hmm, let's get to know each other first, yeah. I'm hard at loving someone."
"Because you haven't been able to take out Brother Fira?"
Rafi fell silent. Lena continued to stare at Rafi, as if she was interrogating the man. When it comes to Fira, Rafi's eyeballs seem to be still heavy releasing Fira. Rafi's face was gloomy. Rafi remembers when Fira was working with him in Singapore. But if you remember the changes Fira since marrying Henry, make Rafi feel sad. Without feeling her tears flowing in the corner of her eyes.
Lena was stunned to see Rafi shed tears. The girl guessed that Rafi was still heavy with the marriage of Fira and Henry.
"What about you? When you have a friend since childhood, then today you are married to another man. Have you also changed and do not want to be friends with your little friend anymore?" Rafi.
"Oh, even divert the discussion of this person," muttered Lena.
"Where, Len?" ask Rafi.
"depends. If I have a husband, if he allows me to be friends, yes, keep on connecting with friends and school. I have a best friend from childhood to high school. But nothing involves feelings. Yes, we have fun anyway. If later I have a husband, but he does not allow, yes, I obey husband dong," explained Lena.
"Aren't you thinking of moving on from Kak Fira? Open your heart to other women. There are a lot of women in this world. If you love yourself, of course you will try to change your life and organize the future. Don't drown in impossible expectations."
"Actually I was able to let go of Fira, ever since knowing she was married to Mas Kirsandi. But when I found out Fira was widowed, from there I began to grow hopes of getting her love again. Fate is so heartbreaking, I'm competing with Henry. That young man could be in the middle of my life and Fira's. To this day I still have heartache with Henry."
Lena can see there is anger in Rafi's two eyeballs when it comes to Henry. Although he does not know exactly the love triangle story between Henry, Fira and Rafi, but Lena understands from the story of Rafi. Lena is not discouraged from approaching Rafi. Although every day his heart was sad to face Rafi who did not move on from Fira. Lena is optimistic, because the woman who can be close to Rafi is herself.
"The destiny of God no one knows. If lovers are meant to be partners and God intervenes, no one will be able to separate the two. Either way," Lena insisted.
Rafi turned to Lena. "At least do not decide silahturahmi. Fira did not attend Rahline's wedding yesterday. Who else if it wasn't Henry who didn't give permission? All the puppeteers are in Henry."
"So, you have a grudge against Henry? Bang, Bang. Life is only once."
"You know, first, Henry was present in my life and Fira. Second, Henry made Fira not present at Rahline's wedding. And lastly, Henry destroyed the watch I gave to Fira."
Rafi was angry and decided to leave from there. Lena can catch Rafi's expression, causing Rafi to still bother Fira and Henry because of her anger at Henry. On the other hand, Lena became worried about Fira and Henry. At a glance, if at any time Rafi took revenge on Henry.
Instantly Lena slid. "Do I have to tell this to Brother Fira? I-I don't want to interfere in their business. On the other hand, I feel sorry for Brother Fira and Henry. Hope nothing happens. If anything happens, I will not remain silent. I have to prevent Bang Rafi from disturbing Brother Fira and Henry."

Rafi daydreams in the chair. His office is warm. But even warmer, Rafi's feelings are empty without being loved by loved ones. The man recalled his time with Fira. The first time Rafi fell in love with a cute little girl. He was both seven years old.
Little Rafi is still shy to get acquainted with little Fira. Until then the two became playmates when Fira vacationed to Lumajang. Starting from playing, running and joking on the beach, then attending the educational park of the Qur'an to teach together.
When little Fira is shunned by girlfriends, only little Rafi accompanies her. When Fira cries, Rafi actually teases her by calling the sweet guava because Fira's nose is like a guava. When Fira fell on the ground because of the other children, Rafi fought against the children's mischief. If Rafi and Fira are having a fight. Only Rafi relented to be good again with Fira.
In her teens, Rafi and Fira limit the distance. The two realized that they were no longer children who freely held hands, embracing to pinch the cheeks and nose. Rafi and Fira are already in puberty, knowing that both are not mahrams. But the friendship between the two is still going as it should. Which makes Rafi smile herself, when remembering herself and Fira once harbored feelings for each other to maintain the integrity of friendship. But now Rafi and Fira's friendship has broken down.
Rafi's daydreams instantly froze when she heard the ringing of the device. Rafi took the device at the workbench. He saw a message notification coming in. His eyes widened as he read the incoming message from someone.
[Raf, it turns out that Henry and Fira are in Toronto. When I met at the hotel, I saw them at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.]
When Rafi was about to reply to a message from someone, suddenly there was an incoming call from a phone number that she had not known. Rafi frowned. He was curious about the foreign phone number. Without thinking, Rafi picked up the phone.
"Hello, who are you?" said Rafi. (Hello, who are you?)
"Hello, my business partner used to be in Singapore. Do you still remember me?" said a man with a heavy voice.
Rafi thought for a moment, then she was stunned by the caller. "Sultan?"
"Yes, you are a smart, Dude!" (Yes, you're smart, man!)
"Do you know where my phone number is?"
"It doesn't seem important, I know where your phone number is from. What is clear is that I want to communicate well with you again" explained Sultan in Malay dialect. The Sultan is from the neighboring country of Malaysia.
"I'm actually lazy to deal with you. I've forgotten you since you bothered Fira."
"Hey, cam where's Mak Cik Fira saying cute tuh? Did you marry her? Or is she still a widow? Haha."
"Fira is married to Henry. You remember Henry kicking you with that ball?"
"Huh? That snot guy, ye. Hmm, I know he's a man now a businessman. Henry owns Excellent Entertainment and Advertising in South Korea. I didn't know he was from a beautiful family. Of course Fira chose Henry, because Henry is richer than you, hahaha."
"You want me to kick it, huh? If you call me just to heat me up, I'd better block your number!" furious Rafi.
"Enjoy, Raf. I want to meet you. There's something I want to talk to you about. Maybe, that's it from me, see you next time, Raf."
The Sultan ended the conversation with Rafi. While Rafi did not think out with the Sultan who suddenly reappeared. Rafi became curious about the Sultan who wanted to meet him. The idea instantly popped into the head, Rafi grinned. Meeting with the Sultan, could be his chance to plan something.
Then Rafi typed a message to someone who had sent her a message. His name is Kevin. From the look on his face, Rafi could not wait for the moment she wanted so far. The existence of the Sultan, Rafi can invite cooperation to achieve his hidden dream.
[Kev, we'll make friends. I have a friend who wants to see me. I want to know you to Lo. I have an idea of something.]
The message typed by Rafi has been sent to Kevin's phone number. Rafi leaned back on the chair. Rafi should not be irritated by the Sultan. He was relieved that the Sultan's presence would bring him good luck. Rafi looked at the ceiling of the workspace while imagining a slick and pleasant plan.
