Maura returned to her seat after she finished her affairs in the bathroom. Seen her eyes were puffy, Bryan and Evan had guessed that Maura was crying.
She must be crying again, it's okay Bryan. If the man makes her cry, you can make her smile and laugh.
"Did Evan and Bryan's sister order the food?" Maura asked the two men who were sitting at a table with her.
"Not yet, we're waiting for you." Bryan answered quickly.
"Oh that's it? Let's order some food, I'm hungry." Maura held her stomach that had been demoed asking for the meal. Spending 3 hours in the courtroom made her hungry, not to mention drained of energy because she was crying.
Come on Maura, this is the last time you cried because of it. The woman encouraged herself in her heart.
"Maura, what do you want to eat?" Evan looked towards Maura.
"I want a karedok, like a spicy black squid."
"You eat all that spicy? Later you have a stomach ache, mending you eat that use rice." Tell Evan to his cousin's sister.
"Sister, you know I'm a spicy lover? I'm not gonna do anything. Anyway, smear it with rice!" The woman remained chubby to eat all that spicy food.
Evan sighed, "Because it's your special day, alright.but don't blame your sister if you're sick. Brother has already let you know." Evan.
Maura just nodded. While Bryan looks confused, until Maura asks what is with him. "Sir! Father why?"
"I-it...the name of the food you mentioned is food from which country? Why haven't I heard?" Bryan frowned, his hands scratching behind his ears.
The brothers laughed at Bryan's question. "Som..haha..."
Chairman Xander of the group gawked, showing a plain face and did not know anything. "Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny?"
"Sir, very funny.masa pak Bryan do not know typical Indonesian food? He knows it's fried rice." Maura ejeked at Bryan while holding his stomach, enduring the pain of laughter.
The man smiled happily to see Maura laughing, it turns out that after divorced from Bara, Maura can still smile and even laugh freely because of him.
"Maura, you're aja deh.pak Bryan will long live abroad. Obviously he doesn't know the food of our own country" Bela Evan told his sister-in-law.
I have to defend my sister-in-law.
"Yes right, I lived a long time abroad so I don't know" he said with a smile.
"Alright, then you should get to know the cuisine of your own country from now on." Maura smiled.
"OK, but you're the one who should introduce the cuisine." Bryan said with a stern look at Maura, affirming that he should be the one.
"Eh? Me?" point Maura at himself.
"Yes, should you introduce her to me, if not you I don't want to," Bryan moved further forward and somewhat forcefully. Maybe the man wanted to break Maura's heart.
Good, Bryan, good! Maura must indeed be somewhat forced like that. Evan smiled at his own smile. The green light he had given Bryan completely.
Maura was speechless, her heart racing suddenly. What strange feeling was in his heart? He doesn't know. "Alright sir, I'll do it."
"One meal, one time you also introduce Indonesian specialties. Okay?" The man made a bargain.
When I move forward, you just have to stay there Maura.
"Doesn't that mean we'll eat together often?" Ask Maura.
"It's true and that's what I want,"
Bryan's pushy look at her made Maura nervous and suddenly turned her face away. "Ehem, let's order some food! I'm hungry!"
For a moment I was fascinated by that handsome face of his. A handsome man is dangerous.
"Alright, I ordered the same message that Maura ordered!" Bryan cried while smiling eagerly to try the food called karedok and seblak.
The three of them ate together, Bryan looked cold sweaty. His tongue stuck out several times, huh hah like heat.
"Sir Bryan, are you okay?" Evan cares about Bryan.
Damnit damnit! My stomach is burning, I didn't expect it to be spicy like this.
Maura also cares for Bryan, he turns a glass of water on Bryan, and Bryan gulps down.

After that lunch, Bryan was no longer seen around Maura and Evan. He had no news of even cancelling an appointment to discuss the project design.
"Sister, what do you think Bryan is?" Maura asked her sister.
"Why ask me? Are you worried about him?" Evan smiled while teasing Maura.
It seems Maura has started to notice the presence of Mr. Bryan.
"Again? Who's worried?" Maura immediately denied and her eyes rounded.
"Why are you asking me? Why don't you just ask her why she canceled the appointment?" Evan cuek's.
"I-tu..why doesn't brother help me ask? This is in the interest of cooperation," Maura wave.
Where the hell is Bryan? Is he okay, huh? He said he wanted to have lunch together and this was it, but he had no news.
"The cooperation of the head of the design team is you with him, right? So, you finish dong. Remember Maura if the approval from Mr. Bryan you have to get 2 more days, you're in charge!" Evan said firmly about work, no exception to Maura.
"Well, Evan's so mean, huh? I'm your sister, brother," the woman grumbled.
"Family and work are different things. Go already..Go, you must do your duty immediately." Evan said he kicked his sister out of the room.
Maura's lips pursed tightly, he stepped out and before leaving he passed Nathan who would also enter the President's room.
Oh yeah, Nathan? What's the secret with Nathan and Evan's brother?. Maura curious.
Nathan cuek and walks in without respect to Maura who incidentally is the son of the superior. Maura deliberately slowed down her steps to listen to Nathan and Evan's conversation. "Sir, tomorrow I'm on leave."
Maura just thought, Nathan always took a leave at the end of the month and went somewhere, he never gave the reason. "Tomorrow, I must follow Mr. Nathan!" the woman's determination was already round.

That afternoon after work, Maura calls Ferry secretary Bryan to ask Bryan about his condition. "What's? Mr Bryan is sick?" Maura was stunned to hear an answer from Ferry that his boss was ill.
Oh well he hasn't had any news in the past few days.
Finally he went to Bryan's house for the first time on business grounds, although there was actually another reason behind it all. Maura arrives at a mansion like a palace, a house that is many times more luxurious than her home.
Even in front of his house many men dressed in black were standing guard. "The address is correct" murmured Maura as she walked into the gate of the house, she went to take a taxi there because she could not drive herself.
A few people dressed in black stood in front of him, asking if Maura would go there. Maura replies that she is a representative of the Agradana company and wants to meet with Bryan. But they did not allow Maura to enter because she did not yet have an appointment with Bryan, how he made the promise Bryan's phone was not active. "I beg you sir, I need to see Mr. Bryan! Please tell Mr. Bryan that baby's coming,"
"Sorry Mom can't,"
Oh, all right.you forced me. Maura was furious, and she walked inside. Then one of the men pushed her down onto the asphalt.
"You're so rude!" Maura stood up again, she stared at the bodyguards in the house.
Uuhh. Maura felt a pain in her knee.
"Mother forced us to be rude!" said one of the guards there to Maura.
The debate ended when Farhan went there and approached Maura. Maura immediately explained to the middle-aged man, that she had intended to meet Bryan but was blocked by the guards there.
"Mother, would you like to meet the young master?" Ask Farhan again. 3 Times the man asked the same question. His gaze looked at Maura.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Bryan knows me. Can you please tell him that I'm coming?" The woman said it was polite.
There was a woman coming to this house looking for the young master for the first time. Is she the young mistress candidate? I need to tell the lady this immediately.
Maura was astonished by the middle-aged man who was looking at her with those strange smiles. 'Is this guy okay? Why is she smiling at me?'
