The main lobby was full of employees queuing in front of the elevator doors. Although the property company building has two lifts, but because the time is close to working hours, the employees rushed to the workplace simultaneously. Likewise, Zahra that morning was waiting in line to take the elevator.
Finally the elevator door in front of him opened he and other employees immediately stormed into the elevator. Before the door closed perfectly still visible from outside the figure that again he saw very similar to Reyhan. Unfortunately he did not see clearly, he only saw his face from the side let alone being obstructed by others. The man was dressed in a black suit and entered the second elevator.
Zahra just muttered inwardly,
Why do you feel so close, it feels like you are all around me. Is the longing in my heart so deep that it creates an illusion about you.
The elevator doors opened and blew away his daydream. He's headed to his desk.
Yogi opened the door of his study, calling Zahra who was close to his room. He asked Zahra for help, "Zahra asked for help to sign this Proposal file to Mr. Zaky," cap Yogi while thrusting the blue map.
" Yes sir, replied Zahra.
Zahra took the elevator to the 5th floor to Zaky's study. When he got there, Zaky was nowhere to be. Secretary Zaky told me he was in Director Reyhan's room.
Zahra planned to wait for a moment. But he was finally curious and approached the director's room. When he arrived at the door of the director's room, the door suddenly opened.
" Zahra," said Zaky who was surprised by Zahra's presence.
" Yes sir, I was asked by Mr. Yogi, to ask for Mr. Zaky's signature."
" Let's go to my room."
After they walked over, Reyhan walked out of his room. Zahra turned her head but she only saw the man's back walking in the opposite direction to Zahra's.
Zahra was in Zaky's room. Zahra thrusting blue map. Zaky opened the sheet by sheet the stack of paper and affixed the signature. When he finished he handed it back to Zahra.
" Zahra, we'll have lunch together, yes" Zaky asked.
" I'm sorry Mr. Zaky, I don't want to be a gossip anymore."
" Why call sir, usually Mas. Don't think about gossip."
" I'm sorry sir, but next time."
Zahra returns to her study, leaving Zaky disappointed to not be able to take her to lunch.

Zahra and Reyhan had no idea that they were actually in one company. They feel equally close to seeing each other's shadow which is actually not just a shadow. They are in the same building, the same taste and the same longing.
Reyhan accepted the offer for the mutation to the parent company. Reyhan company in Malang is only one of its subsidiaries based in Jakarta.
He thought hard to finally decide to move to Jakarta. He still wished Zahra would come back to him. Until he decided to move to Jakarta, he thought if matchmaking then wherever Zahra was would definitely be found, and will return with him. He promised himself he would not let go a second time.
Reyhan exits the elevator to the loby for lunch, from a distance the figure of the hijab girl he believes is Zahra. He chased after her, until the other officers he ignored when greeting her.
He was at the cafe next to the building. Zahra stop! But the girl kept walking, until Reyhan pulled her hand.
" Zahra."
" Hey, who are you?" The girl was surprised to look at Reyhan.
Different girls wear full work clothes with their hijab, gray blazers and white shirts. Zahra herself was already inside the cafe ordering food and drinks.
suddenly Zahra's phone rang. He was actually reluctant to pick it up, his number was not listed on his contact list. He finally lifted it up too.
" Who is this?"
"Assalamu'alaikum Zahra, please don't turn off the phone."
" Vin." Zahra immediately recognized the male voice at the end of the phone.
" Please! horrified first."
" Alright," Zahra who couldn't avoid it.
" Zahra I love you so much, now I realize I'm selfish for forcing my love. I'm sorry I. I'd like you to marry Reyhan's sister.Please Zahra come back. Reyhan's brother is looking for you. Before there was you, Reyhan was always haughty, cold because he hid his sadness. But because of you he can be happy, smile and laugh. But now as if the light on his face was extinguished again because of your departure, he came back as before. Reyhan is cold" said Vino at length.
" Vino I've forgiven you for a long time, I forgive Reyhan. This is no longer about you and Reyhan. But about Reyhan not keeping his promise to fight for his love."
" Zahra where are you?"
" It is Vino that passes, let it pass. Don't need to know where I am."
Zahra closed the phone, without her noticing her tears. He immediately rubbed it when a waitress delivered his order.
While Reyhan with Vanessa, the daughter of the Chairman of the Company Indah Raya Property Group where they worked passed behind Zahra.
Zahra looked back, she was so familiar with the scent of Reyhan's perfume.
But he only saw a pair of men and women holding hands.
Reyhan tries to release the hand of Vanesa who is wriggling in Reyhan's arm.
" Reyhan haven't we eaten together in a long time" Vanessa said.
" Vanessa please let go" Reyhan asked. Vaness took Reyhan's arm off. They sat at the same table and ordered food. They've known each other for a long time, Vanessa has always been a heartbroken with Reyhan. Reyhan never responded. Vanessa is the finance director of the company. He often represents the company when out of town meetings including to Malang. That's where they got to know. Vanessa is a glamorous figure, and a handsome male lover, so she often bergonta-turned boyfriend.
Finish eating Zahra standing up from her chair. Reyhan from a distance saw it clearly. Reyhan was very sure that it was really Zahra. He did not want to rashly chase after her, he was afraid that Zahra would avoid her. He thought he would meet her at the right time.
" Who are you looking at?" Ask Vanessa.
" Nobody" Reyhan replied, smiling with relief.
Vaness was made curious about the girl Reyhan saw to make his cold attitude melt instantly.

Reyhan wanted to make sure his conjecture was right, and he thought of a way. Reyhan headed to the CCTV monitoring room, asking for help in showing CCTV footage in front of the elevator in recent days.
His guess was right about Zahra, he saw clearly the face of the girl he loved through the CCTV footage. The footage shows Zahra in the lobby entering the elevator several times.
Reyhan feels grateful that he was able to reunite with Zahra. He thought of different ways to meet her in person. He was afraid that Zahra would run away to see him. He had to make sure that Zahra was no longer angry with him.
