I can't believe love, when it comes only to hurt. But I can't dodge if I need love..

"Mom, this is a flower delivery from Mr. Ryan." Tyas placed a bouquet of red roses in front of Raihanah. Raihanah took a quick glance. It must be from Ryan again. Raihanah shook her head feeling that Ryan was too obsessed with her. He never stopped sending flowers even though he refused many times. He felt guilty but how else. His heart cannot be forced. He has already liked Raihan especially since meeting a stranger named Adrian who said if Raihan really likes it makes it even harder to move on from Raihan. Even his love is getting stronger.

'Crashy right?'

sometimes he feels crazy with his own feelings, it turns out true love sometimes does not look at logic.

"Just put it on the table." Tyas immediately left the flower, he felt his boss was in a state of turmoil. Because what his boss did from earlier was just daydreaming in a chair staring at the highway.

Raihanah turned her attention who was originally staring at the window to these beautiful roses. His hand moved around the flower, and he breathed it softly. Her fragrant bushes filled Raihanah's sense of smell. Raihanah's eyes caught a piece of paper tucked away in the bouquet. He's been trying to forget Raihan since yesterday. His heart was very sick but he tried. And now he's surprised by Ryan. Too many men in his life give him a headache. Why does that guy only complicate his life? she said love was beautiful, but I just made her mum.

Dear Raihanah

I don't know how many times you've rejected my proposal, I can't count it. Ever since I saw you cry for another man my heart grew stinging. I know you can't forget your man yet and I'm afraid I can't let you off with any man. Before that happened, I decided to go to a place far away from you. I hope you are happy with the love you choose.

From Ryan.

"No way," Raihanah choked, she couldn't believe Ryan was leaving her life. It's not that Raihanah wants to see Ryan continue to pursue him, but that he feels guilty because he caused Ryan's departure.

Raihanah sobbed again his presence made people hurt. He sobbed slowly, his life was complicated starting from the presence of a foreign man last night who asked him to stay by Raihan's side and now Ryan's departure is out of nowhere. maybe it's karma for rejecting a good man.

Raihanah sighed, she wiped away her tears. It cannot dissolve in sadness. He went to this place not to add wounds but to remove wounds. If the soul mate surely God will unite in any way. Raihanah was sure of that. So he can't cry. He cannot be weak because of a man.

"Yes." Call Raihanah in a soft voice. He put the letter in his hand to the desk drawer.

Tyas turned to look at Raihanah, "Mother called me," Raihanah laughed softly at Tyas' call to her.

Though Raihanah had warned Tyas not to call him that, but what could make Tyas still insist on calling him that. He was a little uncomfortable being called mother. He looked old with that call.

"Yes, here's something I want to talk about. Call Beno, you guys" Tyas nodded and went to call Bano.

Ten minutes later, the two sat in front of Raihanah with a cup of tea accompanying her. There was curiosity in the minds of Beno and Tyas. It was unusual for his boss to gather them with that serious look.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Raihanah asked gently meaningfully.

"Don't know Mom."

"Just don't strain, I won't bite you" Raihanah told her subordinates.

"Hahahahaha" Raihanah laughed softly, making both Tyas and Bano who had been tense to relax.

"Actually what do you mean by what you call us for" Beno, who from earlier kept the question, could finally say. He was impatient with the curious sea.

"I'm going home to Jakarta" Raihanah smiled slightly, then she turned her face to the greenhouse where her flower shop was.

A place that holds memories, he remembered every morning Ryan would come here to send his flowers that Raihanah assembled herself and also proposed to him. Raihanah smiled little remembering that. He also did not expect that he would have a business like this and could support both employees. He used to aspire to be a teacher but in addition to being a teacher he also could be a businessman. Although not as big as Raihan, again he thought about the man. Though it is clear Raihan hurt her but he just cannot hate Raihan. His heart was blinded with love. Raihanah sighed. It feels free if he avoids it to any extent. It's no use. He has to be honest with his feelings. That he can't be far from Raihan.

Tyas face stiff hearing that, he was afraid of losing his job as well as Beno. When else have a good boss and their salary is always added. Even kindly their boss would cook food for them. So they don't need money for snacks.

"Mother is leaving" said Tyas sadly, not wanting to part from Raihanah. He already considers Raihanah as his own sister. If Raihanah leaves, she will lose her sister.

"But I'm not going to close this place down, because this place has its own memories for me. You guys I've considered my sister so I trust you to leave this place." Raihanah continued her words. It makes his subordinates happy not to play. Although there is sadness, because you have to separate from Raihanah.

"So?" Beno asked impatiently, Tyas nudged Beno's arm slowly to be polite.again Raihanah laughed at Bano's blunt words. Beno's changed a lot now.

"I want you to take care of this place, you can add more officers if the hassles. I can say I want you to continue my business and I'm going back to Jakarta. If there's a problem with this place you can call me." Raihanah. He doesn't want to avoid trouble anymore. He also missed his big family. It looks like his return will bring shock to his family, especially the father will surely laugh it all out who said he wanted to be independent but only a few months back to Jakarta. Raihanah smiled at the thought of that.

He became impatient. He also misses teaching.
