Zahra stood up from her seat, she tried to be professional in her work not to mix up personal affairs and work. Although he was reluctant to meet Reyhan, he still had to deal with him in terms of work. He met Reyhan in his room. He asked Reyhan, "Are you ready, sir? The meeting will soon begin. The officers are waiting for you."
" Already, you're leaving first, I'll catch up."
Zahra finally left Reyhan to go to the meeting room to join the other employees. Reyhanpun soon followed to the meeting room. During the meeting he concentrated on what was discussed in the meeting. Not infrequently Reyhan and Zahra steal each other's eyes. Actually Zahra was amazed at the Boss. Reyhan looks charismatic, handsome and a resolute leader.
After the meeting Vanessa approached Reyhan. They seem to be talking seriously. Zahrapun said goodbye to go home first. Zahra was finally about to take a taxi home, waiting for a taxi by the road in front of the building.
He sees Reyhan and Vanessa's car sitting next to Reyhan. Seeing this, his heart felt pain. Moreover, rumors of their closeness have been widespread, although Reyhan himself denied having no special relationship with the President's daughter.

By Sunday night, Silfi et al had contacted Zahra for a walk and a watch together. Zahra was putting on makeup while waiting for the arrival of her friends.
Finally Zahra's friends were already in the apartment parking lot to pick her up. After Zahra said goodbye to Azzam, he immediately went down using the elevator to the parking lot.
Silfi, Devi, Lita and some of her male friends including Yoga are in one car. Silfi opened the car door and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to refresh. We will show you the excitement of Jakarta. Not staying home?"
Suddenly someone pulled Zahra's hand. Zahra turned to look at the man, who was Reyhan. Reyhan said, "I'm sorry Zahra's friends haven't been able to come with you, we have important business."
" Okay sir, we go first" Silfi said. They eventually leave Zahra and Reyhan.
Zahra looked at Reyhan disappointedly, "What's up Mas Reyhan, why did you stop me?"
" I'm afraid they will take you to dangerous places" Reyhan said casually.
" What do you mean Mas, I've grown up, I can take care of myself."
" Okay, if that's the same weekly night as me?"
" Sorry! listen to me Mas I don't like you forbid me like this, I want to live free."
" Am I wrong to worry about my own future wife?"
" What is a wife-to-be? when did I say I wanted to get back in touch? didn't you cut our relationship yourself?" zahra said as she shed tears
" Zahra, haven't I apologized many times, I've been overwhelmed with emotion, why is it so hard for you to forgive me?"
Zahra ran to the elevator, and she re-entered her room and Azzam saw her sister coming back crying. Reyhan followed his apartment, and Azzam opened the door for him. Azzam prevented him from seeing her first, asking, "What happened, why is he crying?"
" Why do you let Zahra go alone, do you know they like to go to clubs?" Reyhan asked back.
" So Zahra was just permission to go to the Mall with his friends" Azzam replied.
Finally they sat on the sofa, while Zahra was in the room. Azzampun advised Reyhan, "Reyhan, you should not be too pushy and restrain him. You need to know since childhood our father was too protective of him, because too affectionate and worried, Zahra was always treated like a child. That's why he doesn't like to be on the bridle. After college Zahra can feel free, now you have not become her husband has forbidden her," said Azzam long.
" Thank you for the advice, Zam."
" You better give Zahra time not to push her too much."
Reyhan finally left Zahra's residence. He threw himself in bed. He reflected on his attitude all along with Zahra.
Meanwhile Azzam was advising Zahra in the Living Room. His sister was sitting watching TV. Azzam said to her, "Zahra, forgive Reyhan, He was right, he was just worried about you. You know this is Jakarta. You don't know what the lives of your friends are anymore with the boys. Maybe they'll lead you to the bar."
" Didn't you miss Dad and Mom?" ask Azzam.
" Course misses Mas."
" Mom and Dad are coming here tomorrow?"
" Any cooking?" ask Zahra not to believe it.
" Yes, Mom and Dad will ask, proposing to Sofi,"
" My brother's getting married, too" Zahra said. The news of the arrival of his parents had treated his heart turmoil.
The next day Zahra went to work alone. Azzam had already left because he thought Reyhan would pick up his sister as usual. Zahra was standing by the road waiting for a passing taxi, suddenly the car stopped in front of her, which turned out to be Reyhan. Reyhan opened his car window and said, "Let's go in!"
But Zahra remained silent and looked away. Reyhnan waited a long time, finally he spoke again with Zahra, "Alright I'm sorry for last night and also the past, too, from now on I will not force you again for anything including forcing you to accept my love again. Now it's up to you."
Reyhanpun left Zahra who did not speak a word with him. Reyhan looked disappointed, his face looked cold no smile at all.
Zahra stared at Reyhan's car until she was nowhere to be seen. Her tears trickled, her heart feeling like it used to when Reyhan cut ties unilaterally and asked Zahra to marry Vino. His heart felt pain, sadness and loss.
A taxi stopped offering a ride. He headed to the office with a troubled heart. He thought it might be too selfish not to apologize to Reyhan who had admitted his mistake and apologized. But his heart also felt hate when Reyhan repeatedly forced his own will.
Arriving at Zahra's office trying to be professional, as well as Reyhan. They worked as usual like nothing happened. What is different is that now they do not talk much except work-related talk.
After work Zahra met her brother with their parents in the apartment. Zahra hugged Maryam. Maryampun whispered to her, "Dear miss."
" Zahra is also very upset Ma'am" Zahra replied.
Mr. Rohman saw Mother and son hugging for so long, he also insinuated his daughter by saying, "Aren't you with Dad?"
Zahra took off her mother's arms and ran over to her father. Zahra said, "How could Zahra not miss Yah? Zahra is very kangen."
Azzam asked Zahra to make drinks for her parents. Suddenly, the sound of people knocking on the door. Azzam opened the door, letting Reyhan in. Azzam deliberately told of the arrival of his parents. Reyhan handed over some of the parcels to Azzam. Azzampun said, "Why bother Reyhan."
" It's okay Zam, I know you guys haven't eaten yet right? moreover, Zahra just returned from the office has not had time to cook," said Reyhan.
After Reyhan shook hands with Zahra's parents, he sat down on the sofa.
Zahra brought a drink from the guest room, he was surprised to see Reyhan who was familiar with his parents.
They asked about each other's news. Miss Maryam thought Reyhan and Zahra had improved and their relationship was fine, so she made a request to Reyhan, "Ryhan if you get married later if you have to go back to Malang yes, he said, stay with us. Don't you feel sorry for us, lonely in our twilight? Azzam got a wife of Jakarta people, work also in Jakarta, of course, will live in Jakarta. If you could easily move jobs anywhere Reyhan."
" Insyaalloh Bu, after marriage I will move again to Malang, but it all depends on Zahra, what not to marry me," replied Reyhan.
" I'm talking about Zahra's marriage, finish Mas Azzam's business first."
" I just hope your Zahra will return to Malang again, sooner or later you have to get married soon" replied Miss Maryam.
"Mom take it easy, now let's eat, the food is ready," replied Zahra.
They finally had dinner together. Zahra and Reyhan try to be reasonable in covering up their quarrels.
