Era still continued to cry in Rayyan's arms. He let the woman cry until her heart was satisfied after the great trouble that had been a self-sacrificing Era. Really Rayyan did not expect with the bitterness of life that Era had experienced all this time.It is appropriate if at that time Era asked her to cover her identity so that her ex-lover could not trace her whereabouts. The heart of who does not hurt if after being thrown away, Era must receive heartache again after she was convicted doctors difficult to get pregnant again.
Rayyan still let Era cry. He does not want to ask a lot of questions or talk Era first. let the heart of Era be relieved first. afterwards he will invite to talk with a slightly calmer feeling.
The crackling that had since sounded from the lips of Era, the longer it was getting smoother. Along with the embrace of the increasingly loosening Era. It turned out that the woman was asleep in Rayyan's arms. Perhaps due to his tired heart after crying, the Era energy was finally weak and he fell asleep just like that.
“I love you, Joel. Loving you unconditionally. I'm willing to accept you as you are if you want to open your heart for me.” Rayyan murmured while tightening her embrace.
Rayyan leaned Era's body on her chair again. letting the woman sleep there. He can also see clearly the face of an era full of sadness.
Rayyan still did not expect with the story of the natural Era at once shouldered alone. Now he is determined not to open the Era identity to a man named Pasha, where the man has claimed to be the future husband of Era. Although Rayyan does not know the story of Pasha, but after seeing the sadness of the current Era, she is not willing if Era meets again with her former lover.

Long enough Rayyan let Era sleep in her car. Eventually, he took his car into the basement. Then it will wake up the Era.
Rayyan had not had time to wake up Era, it turned out that the woman had woken up by herself.
“Ray?” call Era while staring around her, apparently still in her best friend's car.
“You slept a long time, Joel. You seem to be very tired too. You better continue sleeping inside. Come on, I'll drop you!” rayyan said, then opened his car door for Era.
The era followed when Rayyan opened the car door, until the man actually drove her into his apartment unit. Era was also aware of what she had told Rayyan earlier.
“Now rest! It's night.” said Rayyan after reaching the door of the Era apartment unit.
Era just nodded. Although it is true that he still needs rest. Rayyan could clearly see the sorrow that still existed in the heart of Era.
“Joel! You are not alone here.I will always be by your side. Don't hesitate to ask me for help, or you want any story. My shoulder is always ready to take care of you.”
Era immediately embraced Rayyan. He was very relieved to hear the man's words especially the words that came out of Rayyan's lips were very sincere.
“Thank you, Ray. You have helped me a lot.” Rayyan said and only got a smile reply from Rayyan.

The next morning, Era woke up in a more fresh body state. Perhaps one of the causes was that after last night he told Rayyan all the burden of his problems. Because indeed during this Era carries the burden alone, until it has unconsciously made his life often overwhelmed with anxiety.
Era is now preparing to go to the office, of course with a more relieved feeling, and ready to meet with Rayyan again who is a teammate.
For matters of the heart, Era did not yet know if she had started to be able to open her heart again.Because after what she was going through, she was clearly not confident. Especially with the shortcomings he had. But the conscious era, no matter what the circumstances, life must go on. If his destiny is like this, he will not be a problem if he will forever be a single woman. Moreover, living abroad is very free and not very important with status.
Era was already wearing her work clothes and was ready to leave. He went to the office in his own car as usual. Rayyan would pick him up sometimes. That's also if the man is in need of his help or just ask for company to leave after hours of office.
Moments later Era has arrived at the office. As usual, the carefree nature of Era always warmly greet her fellow coworkers. even all office employees are also very fond of typical people such as the era of easy to get along. Moreover, the Era was famous for being very friendly.
“Iya. why is it? He did not contact me.” asked Era looking confused.
“I don't know either. You better just go to the room, maybe Rayyan is there.”
Era simply nodded while thanking her friend. But he chose to enter his room duly to put his bag. It turned out that when Era saw her phone, there were two missed calls from Rayyan. He immediately went to his friend's room.

“What's up, Ray?” tanya Era who has now entered the workspace Rayyan.
Rayyan herself was still busy with the laptop screen in front of her. It seemed that there was indeed an important thing that she wanted to talk about with Era. It's just that, early this morning he was already in the office because there was important work from his Papa.
“Ray!” upset Era while Rayyan was still busy.
“Wait a minute!” rayyan replied with a gaze still fixed on the laptop.
Rayyan himself was actually also confused, how to talk to Era after last night he got a message from Arga, his friend in Indonesia who asked news of the development of Era search requested directly by Pasha.
Indeed Rayyan did not share his mobile number with Pasha. so Arga was the intermediary. And Rayyan wanted to make sure again, did Era still hate that man of her past? the man who had incised a deep wound in the heart of Era. If so, Rayyan would never tell the existence of Era to the man, of course, he would have to meet Pasha in person again.
“Do you still love your ex, Joel?” rayyan asked suddenly.
“What are you talking about, Ray? You're just looking for me to discuss this? well then, I better just come out. it doesn't matter at all.” Answer Era then moved from her seat.
“Wait, Joel!” prevent Rayyan, then approach the Era.
“You don't get mad! I just want to know, do you still love him? And did you used to ask me to cover your identity as well because of that man?”
“What do you mean, Ray?” Era was completely confused by Rayyan's question.
“If you don't love her anymore, I'll open your identity. You better meet him that,-“
“For what I met him who now must have been happy with his marriage.” Sahut Era, then he immediately left Rayyan.
