Going back? to Jakarta? what does Ray mean is to go back to him? After all that had happened, was it that easy that Tisha would forgive herself?
Even the clarity of the problem of sleeping with Zefanya alone is still a mystery. Ray repeatedly denies that he never slept with Zefanya, but evidence suggests otherwise. How should Tisha act? Ray's denial about sleeping with Zee is only his own belief, but the evidence says otherwise.
After remembering everything about Ray, his heart was even more hurt. The thing that hurt her the most was when her sister and mother died in a car accident.
Tisha admits to herself that she still loves the man, but to go back with him? I don't know, he still hasn't given a definite answer.
Ray sees doubt on Tisha's face, after he asks about returning to Jakarta with her and Rasya.
"It's all impossible, Rasya and I can't go back with you" Tisha replied after considering everything that had happened between them.
Glass that has been broken, even though it has been repaired several times will not return intact. So is this relationship that will only make a wound. A broken relationship, a sense that once existed, will not be able to fix everything that has happened. We've been over a long time Ray, we can't be together.
DEG!
The Argantara president of the group was surprised, he swallowed his saliva. He did not accept what he had just heard.
Is 6 years not enough for God to punish me? is my struggle not enough? what's wrong? why did he still refuse to come back to me? what was less to him? I've explained everything, but he's still making this decision? I got rejected again?
"Why don't you want to come back with me? do you still hate me? is that because of Zee's problem? if I can prove myself not sleeping with her, will you and Rasya come back to me?" Ray holds both hands of Tisha, his eyes begging the woman.
"You don't have to do that, what happened between us can never be fixed. That's it" explained Tisha calmly and without hesitation.
"Or are you in love with Zayn, so you don't want to come back to me?" ask Ray to guess
The two brown eyes were rounded, looking up at Ray with a confused look, as if they could not believe what Ray was saying.
"What do you mean? what happened between us won't be his relationship with Zayn..She is my best friend" explained Tisha without the slightest lie in her words.
How can you ask like that, Ray? when all my heart has been taken away and you smash it to pieces, her eyes begin to glaze over. He had not expected that his encounter with Ray would be as painful as this.
Ray laughed cynically, as he did not believe Tisha's words. Ray deduces Tisha's own words with his version.
Tisha looked at Ray, then asked him, "You don't believe it, do you?"
"Right, I don't believe it" Ray replied confidently with his own thoughts.
How can I trust you and Zayn who have lived together for so many years? even you and Rasya are living with him. You don't know what it's like to lose? you don't know what it's like to worry? what's been going on between you and Zayn for those six years, I don't know.
Ray clenched his hand, biting the bottom of his lips. Think about how much time he'd spent without Tisha and Rasya and how much time Zayn had with the two important people in his life.
"It's up to you to think about me and Zayn, which obviously we have nothing to do with" Tisha tried to be indifferent to the man who was once her husband.
"Are you and Zayn married?" Ray said what was on his mind just like that without being filtered first.
"What's that empty tooth you're talking about?" sahut Tisha had a surprised face.
"Are you married to him yet?" asked Ray again with a sharp look
Answer quickly, "No!"
"That means you still love me"
"When love is what?!" Tisha could not deny her feelings
"Of course we have to be together" Ray said easily
"That's impossible"
Because it's only hurt if we're together.
"Although there is a Rasya among us?"
Tisha was silent, a few seconds later she started talking. Ray and Tisha's relationship is still Rasya's parents even though they are not husband and wife anymore. Tisha's wish to return with Ray was impossible, even though there was a sense. But Tisha does not want to be imprisoned again by Ray's obsessive attitude towards her.
Tisha decides things for the common good, sounding like an agreement. Tisha allows Ray to meet Rasya whenever he wants, but of course with his permission first. There is no reason for Tisha to forbid father and son from meeting. Then, about returning to life together, Tisha still said no.
The man's face flushed red with the decision Tisha had taken without thinking about her feelings. However, he did not want to look ugly in front of his ex-wife. As much as possible he held back his anger.
"Well, you said I could see Rasya whenever I wanted?" ray asked with a smile
"Yes right" replied Tisha
How can he stay calm? he should be emotional now. Tisha is astonished to see Ray who can still smile after what he said about Rasya.
"Okay, then I can take her to Jakarta too, right?" ask Ray
"Why should I go to Jakarta?"
"Because his papa lives there" Ray spread out his hands and smiled casually
Well Tisha, it's okay if you don't want to get back together. I've waited five years, it's okay if I have to wait 5 days to bring you back. In five days' time I'll get you and Rasya back to Jakarta. Any way.
"What?!" Tisha hisses annoyed with Ray's words that are always relaxed and make things easier.
What else does this man have planned in his head?
"Why? isn't it possible that I can meet her anytime?" ask Ray to relax
"But not by taking her" Tisha forbids Ray from taking Rasya to Jakarta, as he is already comfortable in New York.
"Well I won't force you to come back with me" Ray smiled, as if he had planned something in his head
"What?!" Tisha was stunned again by what Ray said
"Rest, tomorrow I will come again with Rasya to pick you up. I have an important meeting today" she told Tisha.
As Ray steps out of the room, Tisha is astonished by Ray's unchanging and deeply shameless attitude.
FLECKISH
Gerry, you've been waiting outside that room. There was no one else there because Fayra went home with Rasya. Farhan and Zayn go to their agency company.
"Gerry"
"Yes sir?"
"Send some men to watch and guard this room, don't let a man named Zayn come to see him" Ray ruled
Why is this request of the President a little excessive? did he go back to his old attitude?
"And also send some people to keep my son in school, also order three plane tickets to Jakarta for 5 more days" Ray told the secretary
"Three tickets sir?" ask Gerry
Who are those three tickets for?
"In five days I will bring my son and wife back" said Ray confidently, smiling at Tisha's room.
Mr. President is very confident, has Miss Tisha received it back?. Inner Gerry wondered, he did not know what Tisha and Ray were talking about in the room.
πππ
After Tisha's condition improves, she returns to her home with Fayra and Ray. Meanwhile, Zayn and Farhan go to another country to do another concert.
Every day during Ray's stay in New York, Ray took time to meet his son every day, aiming to build chemistry with Rasya. Ray even approaches Tisha, using Rasya's reasoning.

That afternoon, Ray stood in front of the school gate of Rasya. The doorbell rang, and several students came out of the school area one by one.
"Where's my son? why hasn't he come out yet?" ray murmured while leaning on his luxurious car.
Moments later, students were seen crowding in front of the school gates. I don't know what happened there, Ray became curious and wanted to see what happened.
Ray steps towards the crowd of Kindergarten children, Ray is surprised to see his son is fighting with a blonde boy.
"So talk! I'm not a bastard! I have papa!" Rasya spoke in English to his bule friend, his hand hitting the boy violently.
BUCK
BUCK
"My mom said your mom was a whore, so you were born into this world!" the blond-haired boy taunted Rasya
"What-what?!!" Rasya getting emotional, he hit his friend harder and harder. The boy also did not want to lose and hit back Rasya, instead the boy kicked Rasya's leg.
"If you're not a bastard, then where is your papa? who is your papa?!!" the boy shouted arrogantly.
The other children there only noticed the fight without passing it. When Ray came, all the children there were silent, silent and frightened to see the figure of Ray who they thought was very creepy.
"I'm his papa, my name is Raymond Argantara" Ray replied as he pulled Rasya's body close to him.
Papa's coming? papa must be angry.. Rasya looked down sad because he saw his papa was there.
How dare this child insult the descendants of the Argantara family? and what he despised was my son? my son is called an illegitimate child?!! son of Raymond Argantara!.
Ray's hands trembled, his eyes and face reddened, he was eager to hit the little boy who had insulted him. Ray didn't just shut up, he intended to prolong the problem.
Ray calls the parents of the child who always bullies and insults Rasya. With a single phone call from him, the company of the boy's parents was instantly destroyed in a second. This proves the power of Ray and Argantara group is very large in various countries in the world.
After crushing the people who had disturbed his son. Ray takes Rasya out of the school environment.
Before returning home, Ray takes Rasya to lunch together at a restaurant to improve Rasya's mood.
Why was my son silent from before? is he sick? but no external injuries at all, is there possible internal injuries?. Ray was anxious to see the cheerful Rasya so just shut up.
"Hey cute boy, are you okay?" ray asked with a gentle smile to his son.
Rasya nodded weakly answering his papa question, yet his lips were still pouting.
"What do you want to order? papa order it for you, huh?" ray asked while holding a menu list.
"Anything" answered Rasya lazily
"Do you like fried chicken? a sausage? a steak?" ask Ray about his son
"I like everything" Rasya replied as he stared at his papa.
"Papa order ya" said Ray kindly to his son.
Ray called a waiter and ordered food and drinks. Moments later, the food and drink were on the table. Rasya, who is usually passionate about food, now just silently looks at the food in front of him with empty eyes.
"Cute boy, are you sick son?" Ray stroked Rasya's cheek gently
Rasya shook his head.
"Isn't anyone really sick? say the same papa dong, why are you silent? what are you thinking?" Ray pays attention to his son, he is worried that if Rasya has internal injuries.
"Hiks. hyks..." Rasya who had been holding back her tears since earlier, ended up crying as well
"Eh, cute papa boy why cry? is your body sick? should we go to the hospital??!" Ray held both of his children's hands affectionately.
Rasya cried as he shook his head, his cry grew even bigger. "hiks hyks"
"Darling. hey.., hey..why son? tell me papa, did anyone bother you again at school? papa will destroy them all for you. You want papa to close that school? papa will close it, who will you take revenge on? papa will help her reply. But. You don't cry anymore son" Ray rubbed tears on his son's cheeks with his bare hands, full of tenderness and affection.
So this is what it's like to share affection with others, it's so sweet. Moreover, sharing affection with my own flesh and blood. It would have been so happy if my heart had opened up like this to Tisha, opened my heart to her and shared my love for her. Maybe we won't get divorced, maybe we'll never be apart...
Miris indeed, Ray could not be this gentle to Tisha when the girl was still his wife. Even Ray has always been cold and cruel to her, ignoring Tisha for years. So it's only natural that Tisha ignores herself now, this is her karma.
"Rasya.. honey..you why son? are you sick, son?" ask Ray for his son.
From now on, I won't miss any time with you and your mother. I will redeem all my karma. I will be kind, sharing my affection for you, Ray's inner heart is sincere
"I'm not sick.hiks..hiks.. I'm happy"
"Who? happy to cry?" asked Ray
"I'm glad to have papa. I'm glad someone took me.. huuhu.." Rasya cried sobbing
Ray hugged his son gently signifying his genuine affection. Ray was sad to hear the words of Rasya who was happy to have a papa. Ray feels that he has become an irresponsible father, because he did not see Rasya grow up for 6 years. Since in the womb, until Rasya was born and has been this big.
"Papa promised son, papa won't let you and your mama alone again. Papa will always be there for you,"
