" You remember everything?" Dimas curious.

" I remember it or not, it doesn't matter to you." Rise up looking emotional.

" okay. I used to be jealous of you with Lala. So I deliberately heated it. But it turns out Lala misunderstood and stayed away from me."

" Means Lala's a smart and intelligent woman."

" What do you mean?" Tanya Dimas looked annoyed.

" You don't deserve her." Clearly Rise up full of emphasis.

" Then, do you feel worthy of him now?" Ask Dimas back. He doesn't seem to want to give up.

" It's none of your business Dim. You're really wrong to see me today."

Their discussion stopped. Devina suddenly entered without excuse. He looked at Dimas with a sharp look.

" out! " No-nonsense Devina cast out Dimas.

Dimas straight up and step foot out of the room. Devina immediately closed the door and turned around.

" So you've changed so much lately because of that girl?" Accuse Devina.

" Have you heard our conversation?"

Devina nodded her head.

Flashbacks

While at the office, Bersangkah suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital. When conscious, he was told that there was a blood clot in the brain and had to be operated on if he did not want fatal consequences. When I go back to the apartment. The bespectacled man had been waited for by his brother and told him to go home. Her brother told her about his hobby problem that made him what he is now. And He also felt guilty for causing too much pressure to rise up on his hobby.

Shocked to hear the confession, Bangkit went straight to his father who had made himself and Devina engaged. With teary eyes, his father apologized and told him the reason for his betrothal to Devina, which was because his Grandmother wanted to bring him closer to the nuns in their family's supermarket. His father secretly found out the genealogy of the woman's family, which was not comparable to their family. The incident made his father erase the traces of his youth and hobby Risen.

Rise up frustrated to hear the honesty of his father. He slowly recalled all his lost memories.

Flash Back off

Elsewhere, Lala has confirmed her intention to manage her market business further. Dimas suddenly came and asked that their relationship could return as before.

" I'm sorry for interrupting your time. And sorry for the past that made us misunderstand. I want us to be together again." Her request.

Lala scrunched her forehead. And wonder, What's with all this.

" I'm sorry Dim, I really don't want to be in a relationship with anyone right now."Dimas was subtly rejected by Lala.

This scene was seen by Andra who happened to come to attend a shareholder meeting, which then undoes his intention to meet Lala. He went straight into the meeting room.

...***...

While sitting in the room, Andra's gaze was unfocused. He was between shocked and could not believe there was Lala in the company.

' Why Lala suddenly manages this company. And replace Mr Ridwan?' Andra's mind wondered.

" Good afternoon to the investors who have taken the time to attend this meeting. My name is Shabila Anastasya who represents Mr. Ridwan to explain the progress of Sky Mart this year."

One by one Lala explains from sales targets, marketing costs, and revenue turnover from each branch.

" For the next month's budget. We'll reorder. Same with products that are not so good. We will modify with a promo or discount for customers, with terms and conditions that apply of course. And for the ordering of goods, we multiply the goods sought and needed by consumers. Besides of... "

Lala's words were cut off because of the vibration of the phone in her suit pocket. Lala was about to turn off her phone. When Namu saw the name of the person who called him, he decided to answer.

" The next meeting will be continued by Mr. Rio." Lala said as she got up from her seat and gave a code of apology. Then he excused me to come out of the meeting room.

Lala shifted the phone symbol on her phone screen. Then put his phone to his ear.

" I'm sorry Dad, I was... "

" You finally answered La. Dad's in the hospital. " His stepmother's voice sounded very worried.

" Really?"

" Yes La, this is the position of the Army hospital." Obviously his stepmother.

Without thinking Lala immediately stepped foot into the office parking lot.

Not far from the back, Andra quietly followed him.

Lala got out of her workplace and drove her car to an Army hospital. His mind was chaotic, after all his father who had taken care of him from childhood.

The car stopped because of a red light. The location of his workplace with the hospital is quite far away. Lala occasionally looks braked suddenly because of panic. Andra who followed him looked like a head bobble.

Until the hospital, Lala went straight to the receptionist. His face looked very worried.

" room No. 10."

Lala headed straight for the designated room.

Her stepmother was calming her father.

" Lala's. You've finally come." Her stepmother immediately hugged her. Lala was astonished, What's the matter. Because it was unusual for her mother to welcome such a warm.

" Dad why?" Lala's curious.

" Your father's blood pressure went up because a stranger came home. He asked all about you. Your father was terrified, If only it were your family and took you from us." Obviously Mother.

" Who's Mom?" Lala was curious again.

" I don't know La, but from his clothes and bodyguards it looks like they're rich." Obviously her stepmother with sparkling eyes.

Lala looks curious, But she immediately looks worried about the condition of her father who still looks weak. But his father asked to go home.

"Dad doesn't want to stay La. I don't want to be a burden to you."

" No Dad, Lala didn't think that far. I'll have to stay overnight until I'm fully recovered." Lala calmed her father. After almost 10 p.m. Lala was told by her stepmother to go home. Lala kissed her father's forehead and walked out of the room. He went straight to the hospital administration.

" Room No. How many Mba?"

" No. 10."

The woman immediately looked confused.

" I'm sorry Mba, for room No. 10 already someone paid for it." Karyawati clearly.

" Who is Mba? Obviously our family has no one to take care of the payment." Lala is confused.

" So afternoon Mba, about 5 o'clock. There's a handsome young man who paid for it." Obviously Karyawati is increasingly making Lala more confused.

He wondered in his heart. Maybe someone is wrong to pay for his family administration.

" If you may know, on whose behalf is the payment Mba?"Lala was very curious.

" I'm sorry Mba, that's a trust. I can't say his name."

Lala's getting confused. He left the administration with a wondering heart.
