Angelica had just finished singing her final song at a charity concert for orphans. He walked down the street of the inn hallway leading to his bedroom followed by several tall and burly people.
Along the way he inexhaustibly returned a wave of hands and also threw a smile to his fanatical fans who stood crowded along the way. “Thank you,” that is always thrown from his sensual lips when there is one or two people give a bouquet or parcel of various sizes to him. Her beautiful face did not escape from the camera shots of the reporters.
Sometimes you have to stop for a moment, just pass the request of the fans for a photo together. The supposedly short trip was delayed, until finally the guards forbade the men to take pictures. Until finally the exhausting journey ended after cornering on the quiet streets and stopped in front of the door of the room that is rather hidden and rarely there are people passing by.
The door opened, before the guards left, Angelica divided the various colors, sizes and shapes into them. Angelica let out a long sigh, she stepped in and hurriedly closed the door. The trinkets that decorated his body were removed and then stepped into the bathroom. Warm water makes it fresh, a thin puff of smoke covers his body that is tall, sexy and there are no lines of aging mapped on his skin that is yellow. For a moment Angelica enjoyed her leisure, forgetting the fatigue, saturation and all the problems that were in her head.
Angelica came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest to the base of her thigh. Some of the water still soaks the hair, the face and neck look glittering like a gemstone struck by the light of a room lamp.
Well-favoured. A perfect beauty, for women who bear the title of triple-dowager in general. His pair of eyes suddenly widened while staring at a male shadow sitting on the edge of the bed. He brought a bottle that was half-full, an unpleasant scent out and spread to all corners of the room.
The pair of eyes of the man was red, his face was agitated, the influence of the liquid from inside the bottle had made him heavily drunk.
“Tak wonder, many men fall for you. You are really beautiful and charming,” said the man.
“Mas Agus ... What are you doing here ? Where did you come from?”
“I want to take you for a drink. You don't need to know where I came in. Come with me for a drink,”
“Mas, I can't drink alcoholic beverages like that don't even like it. It makes me vomit. Besides, it's late, it's not good for men to enter a woman's room this late. How people say later,”
“Cih,” the man looked riled up, “Even accompany me to drink just don't want to. I've done everything you want. Don't you remember that you could be like this, because of me anyway. You've rejected my love so many times, I hold it all down even though this heart is hurt,”
“Mas Agus, I really can't accept your love. I've looked at you like my own brother, I respect you and I want to be like that forever. My heart and love are for Andre. I'm sorry, mas ..”
“I don't accept !!” shouted the man as he threw the bottle on the floor, then walked over to Angelica, “Tonight, you should be mine. There is no one else ! Just look at that Andre, he doesn't care about you at all, he's indifferent to you. Why do you still expect him to be your husband. I'm the one who should be your husband, not someone else. Come on, come over here and have fun tonight. Even if you scream, no one hears you in this quiet place,” he said as he was about to pull Angelica's towel cover, Angelica jumped back, her face deathly pale,” Mas, remember who you are. Don't let the drink poison your mind,”
The person called by the name of Agus did not care, his actions even desperate to pursue wherever Angelica ran away. Eventually, the woman's body fell. Agus increasingly uncontrollably his hands moved to tear the cloth cover Angelica's body. When the cloth no longer covers her body, the woman's hands try to cover her femininity. Fail, fail, his strength was weak until finally the heavy hands of Agus gripped his wrist and when Agus' lips moved about to kiss Angelica's face heard a loud enough sound from the door following then an object flew and landed the head of Agus.
Agus flinched, at once he felt his left and right jaw ache following then a considerable force threw his body back far from where Angelica's body lay limp. Curious, angry and annoyed because his intention did not reach his adrenaline moved trying to see what caused it to be thrown. A tall skinny young man stood up while staring coldly at him. On Angelica's side, the woman hurriedly searched for a makeshift cloth to cover her exposed body. At the corner of his lips was a faint smile. Whether he should be sad or happy, what had been expected came as well.
Andre stood straight between Agus and Angelica. His pair of cold piercing eyes made Agus powerless to hold back his anger, “Who are you ? How dare you treat me in such a way. Don't you know who you're dealing with?”
Just now that his lips were closed a hard lump landed on his face, the usual tonjokan was not powerful but was able to break the nose bone and damage his lips blood seeped out when the face of the knocker was near his face. A cold gaze and like there was no sign of life made Agus' guts shrink.
Just about to step out, he felt his right shoulder hurt once. Andre had pressed hard on that shoulder.
“A... What are you doing ? Well, I know I was wrong, please let me go,” pinta Agus, “Give me your generosity,”.
“Mas Agus,” greet Angelica who is now dressed, “I have told you, that this feeling of love and affection is only for Mas Andre one, why can you do such a low thing ?” tanyakanya.
“This ... this is not my will. But, I .. I.. “ the drummer lowered his face deeply to the floor. He was silent for a long time, it made Andre lost patience, again the shoulder of the thick-pointed man was pressed hard to scream in pain, “Good .. good. It hurts my shoulder. He was the one who told me to do that. Adin !”
Agus's explanation surprised Andre following Angelica, “Ti .. impossible. She. She's my best friend. Where could he possibly be that loaf?” said.
“Could be,” said Andre while reaching into his pocket, he took out a piece of paper which was then given to Angelica.
A pair of Angelica's eyes were wide open while reading the sentences listed on it :
“Mas Andre, I know your relationship with Angelica is not so good right now. I'm Adin, his best friend. What happened between you, he told me. Indeed, the heart of a woman who has been hurt, can give rise to the flames of hatred and revenge. He vented it all on Agus, the drummer. The drummer fell in love with Angelica and did not hesitate to do reckless. Many times I warned Angelica about her relationship with Agus, I was worried that Agus' recklessness could ruin her career as well as her future. I can't prevent it. I believe you still love Angelica, only with you is Angelica still willing to listen to your advice. Please, yes.this is our lodging address, if you have a chance come. Angelica must be so happy to see you coming. As a good friend, I can only pray that you can unite and live happily ever after.”.
Andre did not answer, because he felt no need to answer that silly question, “Take me to meet Adin. Now !” andre's message to Agus.

Adin sat pensively in his room, imagining his name would soar again as the only celebrity who ruled the world, he imagined his classmate Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Katty Perry, and so forth. However, his daydreams ran out when his ears heard the door of the room being knocked on by people.
A pair of eyes of the blonde woman was wide open while at the door stood Mr. Adam and some people he did not know. “Good night, sir. Can I help you ?” the question was friendly and then let the guests in. Mr. Adam and his friends stepped in, the producer who has catapulted the names of many artists in his company sat down while raising his left leg, his face showing displeasure, “See what you did ! You have tarnished my company name that has had a fragrant name for decades,” his voice is so heavy and makes Adin wrong.
“Sorry, sir.. I do not understand what you say,” said the woman did not understand.
“You pretended to be stupid or what ? Your actions really embarrassed me ..”
“Sorry, sir .. I really don't understand what you're talking about. What's the problem ? Let me help,"
“Still you're pretending. You think I don't know what you did to Angelica?!” while saying so Mr Adam took out a piece of paper and gave it to Adin, “Is this not your handwriting ? Listen ... It's free that you tricked me. I picked you up from the streets to be a useful person, but, is this your reply ?” continued.
Adin widened his eyes when he saw what was written on the paper offered by Mr. Adam. It was Adin's letter to Andre about Angelica. “Oh, it turns out this problem ? Isn't this a reality. Mas Agus really fell in love with him and would love to have the widow of three children, I am not wrong,” he said indifferently.
“Supply once, you !! You think by interfering in people's personal affairs, can restore your glory days ? Look, I consider you my own son, as well as others.all of them I consider my son even among them, you are the one I love the most. Why are you doing so poorly ?” said Mr. Adam while breaking the table.
Adin laughed, “Ha... ha.. ha... you think, I don't know what you're planning, old fox ? Your past is no different from mine. I don't know how many women you've slept with, how many children were born to you and I'm one of them. Now you want to act as if you don't know me, act as if it's good in the eyes of others, but everything has a certain purpose. Don't think I don't know what you're keeping and you're hanging on the walls of your room ..” Adin then stepped up and took some close up photos of young women, all beautiful and charming faces and half-naked. Including a photo of ANGELICA in the bathroom, while thrusting it in front of Mr. Adam he said, “You also want to fuck me and don't tell me that you don't want to have that triple-dowager too,”
Just as Mr. Adam opened his mouth, a shadow flashed across the photos, everyone widened their eyes when they knew who the shadow belonged to.
The pair of shadowy eyes stared intently at Mr. Adam, there was a reddish look, the look of eyes filled with anger ... Agus who was also suddenly present at that place did not dare to look at his face for long, because he knew who the owner of the sharp and piercing eyes. HE IS ANDRE.
“So this is what you saved all this time ?” asked Andre coldly.
Mr. Adam lowered his face deeply, he was ashamed to answer. Andre felt no need to wait for an answer from the owner of the recording studio ADAM’s RECORD, the face of Angelica deeply, “You yourself .. how did you decide?” tanyanya cold.
“I. Better to be a Household Maid than to have a big name in a grand company on the outside but fragile on the inside,” said Angelica earnestly.
“Then what about them ?” ask Andre.
“There is a book saying ‘let the dead bury the dead’, what do I care,” said Angelica quickly then stepped away from the place followed by Andre.

The two-story house was, simple yet had, a unique architecture. Standing in the middle of a clear water lake with a wide variety of fish species countless swim here and there. Some were scrambling for food spread by a young couple from where they were sitting, some were trying to grab the bait of a 13-year-old fishing across the lake.
The morning air was very cool, the fog was still drifting down from the hillsides and green mountains that lay behind the small house.
The chirping of birds and gentle breeze gusts seemed to accompany the jokes and laughter of the young pair.
“Mother, see ... Dayat got a pretty big fish, look at !!” shouted the 13-year-old while raising his jaw, a large enough gourami was struggling to release his mouth from the boy's hook eyes. This was the umpteenth time the boy was cheering with excitement.
The pair of young men stared at the boy. “Look, you can't necessarily fish a gourami that big. Dayat is really a fishing expert,” said the young man who is none other than ANGELICA to the young man beside him. Andre's. Andre did not answer, only throwing a smile. Well, they are Angelica and Andre is also Dayat. Now they live happily in a remote, quiet, peaceful and contented place. This is what they aspire to be together, when their loyalty is tested with various things, when they still do not have the status as HUSBAND-WIFE as they are today.
