Azkia went into her room. There was no Raffasya in his room. He then looked up at the balcony. Azkia saw her husband standing pensively on the edge of the balcony looking at the colorful sky of Jakarta, making her step towards the balcony of their room.
" What's up, Pa?" asked Azkia, making Raffasya turn towards her and then put his hand on her shoulder.
" There's nothing ..." Raffasya then gave a kiss on his wife's cheek.
" Papa must be lying, right?" Azkia felt that there was something Raffasya had hidden from her.
" Did it appear that Papa was lying?" Raffasya touched his nose. " Papa's nose is still the same size, not longer, right?" Raffasya chuckles, likening himself to the fictional character Pinocchio.
" Come, dong, Pa! What's the story?" Azkia forced her husband to open up to her, because he believed there was something the husband was thinking about.
" Last noon there was a man who accompanied Mr. Adibrata came to see me at the cafe." After thinking for a while, Raffasya finally told him what he was thinking at the moment. Not because of the threat that Hamid gave him, but he thought about the relationship between Bagas and Indhira who seemed like they would still continue to get obstacles from Bagas' parents.
" Would Papa Bagas come to Papa's cafe?" tanya Azkia was surprised to learn that Adibrata's men had come to her husband's business.
" Did Bagas' father know of Indhira's existence with us, Pa?" tanyanya's worried. Azkia was afraid that Indhira's existence would be sniffed by Adibrata's parents, and it would make Indhira's life unsettled.
" Mr. Adibrata suspects that Bagas will rent Papa's cafe for the wedding reception. He then offered a ten-fold compensation from the rental agreement for the wedding party, provided that Papa would cancel the deal with Bagas which they thought would hold a wedding party at Papa's cafe." Raffasya explained what the intention of the arrival of the parents of Bagas to his cafe.
" They think they can influence Papa with the money they offer," Raffasya explained.
" what?? His father Bagas tried to bribe Papa to do that cunning thing?" Azkia was further aghast at Adibrata's attempts to influence her husband to cancel Bagas' wedding party plans, even though the event was not held at her husband's cafe.
" Yes." Yeah." Short answer given by Raffasya.
" That's so arrogant, Mr. Adibrata! He thinks we can't get the money right until we accept the money?" furious Azkia felt angry, her family's pride as if in jak by Adibrata.
" Then, what was Papa's attitude to the offer?" Azkia was curious about the husband's attitude to Adibrata's devious offer.
" Instead of receiving the money, I pawned my wife to my in-laws, hahaha ..." Raffasya laughed gloriously, not wanting to take a dizzy what Adibrata did to him.
" Iissshhh, this Papa ..." Azkia also laughed while struggling spoiled on the shoulder of the husband.
" What is Papa's plan going forward?" tanya Azkia wants to know how Raffasya plans in the face of Adibrata's devious plan.
" For someone like Mr. Adibrata, he would definitely feel offended by Papa's refusal. He'll definitely find another way to keep his plan working." Raffasya had already predicted what Adibrata would do to him.
" Papa must carefully face such a man, Pa." Azkia warns Raffasya to be careful to face a devious person like Adibrata.
" Mom don't worry, Papa can handle the business." Hugging his wife tightly, Raffasya tried to calm his wife not to worry.

" Excuse me, Sir. There's Mr. Hamid wants to meet with you." Diana, secretary of Adibrata, entered Adibrata's office to inform him about Hamid's arrival this afternoon at Adibrata's office.
Adibrata who was focusing on the draft cooperation with new clients in her company set her sights on Diana.
" Send him in!" Sentence orders directly out of Adibrata's mouth that must be executed immediately by his secretary.
" Good, sir." The thirty-two-year-old woman, who had been Adibrata's secretary for seven years, immediately responded.
Diana then walked out to let Hamid into her boss's office and after Hamid entered Adibrata's room, Diana then closed the door to Adibrata's room and let her Boss with Hamid chat inside, no matter what they talked about, she did not care about it.
" Sit down!" With the direction of his eyes, Adibrata told Hamid to sit in the front seat of his desk.
" Okay, Mister." Hamid pulled the chair in front of the big boss' desk and sat down.
" What information have you got, Hamid?" Adibrata immediately asked for the information he needed about Raffasya which he considered challenging him, for rejecting the offer given by him.
" I have complete information about Ananda Raffasya, the owner of the cafe, Mr. The man was thirty-six years old. He is the only child of the couple Luciana and Fariz, the owner of a well-known leasing company in the country. He has a sister with a different father. He's been pioneering the cafe business since a young age." Hamid tells in detail who the figure of Raffasya really is.
" Raffasya's wife's family has a boutique business that has many branches in several regions. Raffasya's father-in-law, Prayoga Atmajaya, is a senior lecturer at a renowned university, the only child of a famous businessman in the Bogor area. And ..." Hamid like a bit awkward to say other information about Raffasya to Adibrata.
" And what, Hamid?" When Hamid paused the story, it made Adibrata more curious.
" Besan of Raffasya's in-laws is not a random person either, sir." Hamid was sure, when he heard the name he was about to call, that his boss would definitely be dumbfounded.
" Who isn't that random person, Hamid?" Adibrata, who was originally sitting relaxed close to his back on the back of his chair, is now sitting in a serious position, with his palms on the table.
" Besan from Raffasya's in-laws, a bona fide property entrepreneur who owns Angkasa Raya Group, Tuan. Mr. Dirgantara Poetra Laksmana." Finally Hamid mentioned the name of one of the influential businessmen in his country.
Adibrata heard the last name called by Hamid. Of course he knows the big name Poetra Laksmana, as one of the giants in the property sector in the country.
Adibrata grunts violently knowing that Raffasya is surrounded by strong people in terms of finasial. It will not be easy to intimidate Raffasya when he finds out that the person who has opposed him has strong connections with important people.
" It's only fitting that he refused my offer, it turns out that the people near him are easy to disburse funds for him." Adibrata assesses the reason Raffasya rejected it because Raffasya is not short of money and easy to get help if you need an injection of funds.
" It could be like that, sir. But, according to the information I got, Raffasya is a hardworking figure who is independent and never willing to receive financial assistance from anyone including from his own family. So about the money offer, I think the reason he refused was because he had principles, not just because he was surrounded by financially strong people, sir." Hamid expressed his opinion about Raffasya's rejection of the offer of compensation from Adibrata.
" Did you mention my name when you meet Raffasya, Hamid?" After knowing who Raffasya is, of course Adibrata will be very embarrassed if his name is called by Hamid. Want to be put where his face was if he met with a close relative of Raffasya mentioned by Hamid earlier, if it is found out he offered money with a nominal that is not much to Raffasya, if found out he offered money with a nominal that is not much to Raffasya, for the cunning he did.
" No, Mister. Did Master already tell me not to carry the name of Master in this matter?" Hamid answered what Adibrata was worried about.
" Yes, thank God that man didn't know I told you to, Hamid." Adibrata got up from her seat and moved away from her desk.
" What should I do again, sir?" hamid asked, waiting for the next order. He could not be rash in acting. Because the people who will be faced are not random people.
" That's enough, Hamid! We don't touch the cafe owner anymore! I don't want her to be suspicious and investigate us back!" Adibrata told Hamid to stop the plan to cancel the wedding party they thought was held at the cafe owned by Raffasya.
" You're telling his men to keep a close eye on Bagas, where he's going? And what was the purpose of my son coming to the place he was going. These two days he's always late coming home from the office, isn't there anything suspicious Bagas did there?" Adibrata felt suspicious, because later, Bagas was always late out of the office.
" As far as my men have reported, indeed Mr. Bagas did not go somewhere strange, Sir. Mr. Bagas has been in the office since he came home yesterday." Hamid reported what his men reported to him.
Adibrata frowned. Actually, he felt suspicious about the activities of his son who seemed at home in the office until night.
" What is he doing in his office? These days he always comes home late." Adibrata has not had time to check to Zaenal or Esther about Bagas activities these few days that make Bagas always come home at night.
