Riland's eyes looked in astonishment as he found Raya just by herself out of the cafe. He approached the man who had just crossed the road. " Where is Melisa ?" Ask Riland.
Instead of answering Riland's question, Raya looked at him dislikefully. Even he floated a fed up and condescending smile at Riland.
"Gue asked, where's Melisa ?" Ask Riland again.
"Lo can look for him inside, you two rich humans do not fit together," replied Raya while throwing a rough spit. Signs of dislike for Riland and Melisa.
Riland did not respond, all he did was run across the street to come to Melisa who he said was still in the cafe. make sure the girl was okay.
While Raya, she immediately rushed towards her car. It was hard to leave that place. Raya will go with her friends to forget about Melisa who does not want to go back to her.
"Hi boss," greeted one of the waiters as he watched Riland enter the cafe.
"You here what's take away ?" Ask the waiter again.
"Relisa ! I'm going to go back to Melisa !" Sahut Riland while spreading his gaze to various corners of the room.
"Sit was sitting in the back, near the garden,"
Not even the waiter finished his sentence, Riland had already stepped his feet into the cafe. Towards Melisa being at this moment.
Riland moved his legs even faster, when he saw Melisa sitting on her back in one of the chairs. "Are you okay ?" Riland asked while holding his body right in front of the girl.
Melisa was aghast for a moment due to Riland's sudden presence there. "I'm fine" Melisa replied as she placed her cup of coffee on the table.
"Thank God..," a sigh of relief escaped from Riland's lips and it made Melisa feel warm in her chest. He was glad that Riland cared about him.
"Then let's go home ! I am the anterine !" Take Riland and his words are indisputable.
Melisa who is still filled with fear after meeting Raya, agreed to her boss' invitation. He also realized that he would not be able to go home alone. He will definitely feel anxious and insecure. Melisa was afraid that Raya would reappear before her.
The two walked side by side towards the exit. No fingers are as interlocked as the night before. Both of them acted like a boss and his subordinates. Even Melisa was walking behind Riland. He did not dare to go ahead of his boss.
Arriving in front of the store, they found Leah was standing waiting for the arrival of Riland and Melisa. The girl's face seemed to stiffen with anxiety.
"Mel, aren't you pa-pa ?" Ask Leah as she approaches.
"I'm fine, you don't worry" Melisa replied with a smile.
"Leah, I anterin Melisa go home first yes !" Riland unlocked the car. "If there's any phone. I won't be long" continued Riland as he opened the car door for Melisa.
"Okay boss, don't worry ! Soon my guy will come for nemenin, too" said Leah.
"I'm home, yes" said Melisa, shortly before entering her boss's car. He waved his hand at Leah as a sign of farewell.
Riland immediately ran to his own door, then put his body in the car. Soon, the two left the clothing store.
On the way, Melisa doesn't talk much. He just kept watching the road. What Melisa did did did not go unnoticed by Riland.
"Sorry..," said Riland, making Melisa look at him.
"Sorry.. for what ?" Melisa asked with both of her furrowed brows not understanding.
"Sorry because of me, you guys are like this" said Riland, returning Melisa's eyes. There was a sense of regret implied in his gaze.
"What happened to you, must be because of our photos, right ? And all because of me holding your hand. Sorry..," riland regretted.
Melisa did not refuse but also did not justify, she just fell silent and refocused on the streets.
"Mel ?" Riland asked because Melisa did not give an answer.
"Hu'um ? It's not your fault, I was wrong" Melisa replied. How could he blame Riland alone, even though he was also guilty in it by not rejecting the hand of his boss.
"So what about your relationship with him?" Ask Riland.
"We..," Melisa paused her words for a bit of hesitation.
Riland turned his head, waiting for an answer from him.
"We are no longer in a relationship" Melisa replied with an awkward smile.
"Some... It's good to be like this too. It's better to separate at the beginning than after a long relationship it turns out he was rude. I'm still sane sir, still wanting to survive" Melisa continued with a laugh. And what he said is true. Melisa doesn't want to be with an intimidating rude guy. He also does not want to be tormented in a relationship that will definitely be toxic.
Riland mangosteen understood to hear it. He drove his car without asking any more questions. Until a few minutes later, they arrived at the boarding house where Melisa lived.
"Oh.. Okay," Melisa nodded in understanding. He thought that tomorrow there must be a formal event related to work. Because he had previously accompanied Riland to the association of young entrepreneurs. At that time, he served as Riland's assistant.
****
Tomorrow everything goes well as usual. The atmosphere was so calm, there was no more disturbance from Raya or Mona. Everything works with passion.
"Mels... The new couple shirt stock has arrived ! Funny to know, right ?? I really want a hoodie that matches this rich, "Leah showed me a pair of black hoodies whose images are relevant. Usually used by those who are in pairs.
"That's so funny !!" Melisa is no less enthusiastic.
"Eh the boss will ask for advertisements for these couple shirts. We're starting to make the advertising plans yuk?" Bring Leah with passion.
But the one invited shook his head slowly. "Don't know... Eh but what if the star of the ad is not me the same Riland again. I'm missing her fiance drama" Melisa replied.
"But you guys feel like you've been able to, the time is changed?" Leah Protest.
"I miss a lot of drama, really. "said Melisa while blinking her lips.
Drama with Raya was enough to drain his energy, especially if coupled with Mona. "Haahhhh, I may be old, "sigh Melisa nelangsa.
"Yes, let's try to ask the boss how good it is," said Leah, trying to calm her nervous friend.

"Go now yuk ?" Take Riland. Suddenly the man appeared from inside. Riland looks very handsome with a navy blazer and matching jeans. His appearance was more tidy than usual.
"You want to go now ?" Ask Leah.
"Hu'um is afraid of being late" replied Riland as he looked at the clock in his hand that had shown at half-twelve in the afternoon.
Melisa also stood up and tidied up her clothes. Today he wore khaki-colored toad pants and a long-sleeved white shirt, as Riland ordered.
"A formal way ?" Ask Leah.
"Yes, there are many parents" said Riland.
"Huh ? What's the show, sir ?" This time it was Melisa who asked with an anxious face.
"Ordinary lunch. Okay, don't be afraid. Yuk left," asked Riland and Melisa also obeyed him.
***
Long enough they drive because the streets of Bandung city is quite crowded in the hours to lunch. Many restaurants and hotels that they go through but Riland did not also pull over his car.
"Where's it going, sir ?" Ask Melisa.
Riland turned his head and smiled. "Till in a minute,"
Melisa is further astonished when Riland turns his car into an elite and famous residential area in the city. "Good day, Mr. Riland," said a security guard guard at the entrance to the housing estate. And he immediately invited Riland to continue his journey. Seeing that, Melisa was sure that if Riland came here often or maybe she lived here ?
"W-Where are we going, sir ?" Melisa asked worriedly.
"His lunch is held at home, he said anyway to feel more family," replied Riland casually.
After going through a few blocks, they finally arrived at a whitewashed house that looks so beautiful with many plants and green trees in the yard.
There are also several luxury cars parked there and it looks like they are visiting the same house that Riland and Melisa will come to.
"Come !" Riland unlocks the car door and invites Melisa to get out.
"Mr sure his place is here ?"
"Keep, let's get down !" Take Riland again.
Although hesitant, Melisa finally obeyed the orders of her boss. He got out of the car and walked side by side with Riland towards the whitewashed house.
Just as Melisa and Riland arrived at the door, a middle-aged woman came up to the two of them in a frenzy. "Den Riland just arrived ? My mom and dad were waiting for me, Den. Let's get in, quick,"
"Where's mom, Bi ?" Riland asked while holding Melisa's hand suddenly so that the girl did not run away.
