"What if his ex-fiance is Izzar? You're not his wife?" Sandra thought that Sasika's status should not be a problem for Anaya.

However, Anaya still shook her head. "I'm afraid his presence makes me noisier again with Izzar."

"When are you guys making a noise?" ask Sandra astonished.

"At Randi's wedding. The woman suddenly came and made a scene." Anaya chronicles the brief appearance of Sasika.

Sandra was also surprised by Anaya's story. He could see the discomfort of Anaya. And he will not be able to force if Anaya wills.

"You want us to just turn down this Miss Erlina show?

"Don't be rejected, San. Ms. Erlina's our EO subscription. I don't want to because of my personal problems, you guys are brought up. Just accept. But, I don't need to be directly involved as usual" tegs Anaya.

"okay! Then let me take responsibility for the show." Sandra relented.

"Thank you, San!" Anaya smiled with relief.

"But you have to buy me a look later!"

"okay! No problem! Want when?" challenge Anaya.

"Tonight?" answer Sandra directly.

"Eits! Don't dong, San! I'll have a date tonight." Anaya objected.

"Hm... Start bucin!" tease Sandra.

"Eat he had a steady girlfriend. Don't stay here!" reply Anaya criticizes Sandra who has never had a serious relationship

"If there's a guy who is a model like Izzar again that can be guessed anyway I want!" Sandra laughed.

Instead, Anaya scowled. He realized, if not for being framed, somehow he could know Izzar. But will love find its own way? As complicated as any obstacle that must be passed.

That night, Anaya returns home early due to his promise with Izzar. Knowing that her mother and stepfather were going alone, Naira protested and asked to come along. He only willingly will not participate after being allowed to order pizza and soft drinks, and promised to be replaced by invited Izzar to the play mall in the playground.

At six in the afternoon, Izzar was not home yet. He said it would be too late. Anaya also chose to relax with Naira.

An hour later, Izzar still did not return. Anaya was still trying to calm down. However, when the time on her phone showed eight more o'clock, Anaya was upset. His message was simply answered that Izzar was on the road and stuck in traffic. Anaya regretted dressing up as beautiful as possible.

Thirty minutes later, Izzar arrived. A deep sense of regret encompassed him when he saw the disappointment was clearly visible in the face of Anaya who was already neatly looked.

"Hey! Sorry I'm late!" Izzar approached Anaya who was sitting waiting on the sofa.

Anaya did not answer. He stood up and left Izzar.

"Annaya!"

Izzar calls are not shared. Anaya went into her room and laid her body beside Naira who had not been asleep for a long time, turning her back to the door.

"I didn't know the streets were going to be so tight. But, I've come now. Let's walk!" Izzar sat on the edge of the bed, by Anaya's side.

"Why ah! I'm tired of waiting for you first. I'm going to sleep!" Anaya closed her eyes.

"You mad?"

"Nga! I'm happy, really! Just relax!" anaya sarcas replied, with her eyes closed, holding her back.

Izzar sighed. "Tomorrow, I promise to go home in the afternoon, and we'll just hang out, okay?"

"Tomorrow I'm busy!" Anaya answered.

"Yes, tomorrow again." Izzar.

"Tomorrow I have a lot to do!" anaya's reply won't give her a chance.

"Then tomorrow again. I'll wait until you're not busy and there's no work." Izzar didn't give up.

Anaya biting her lips held back a smile as Izzar's persistence faced her. His heart began to melt. He can not blame the stuck conditions that sometimes can not be predicted.

Izzar's outstretched hand stroked Anaya's hair, then gently pulled her shoulder to make her face look. Anaya did not fight back and opened her eyes to look at Izzar.

"Hi!" Izzar smile. "Have you eaten?"

Anaya. He deliberately held back hunger because Izzar said they were going out to dinner.

"I'm hungry too. But if it's the restaurant I'm planning, it'll be closed by the time we get there."

Izzar.

"Hm... There is a fast food restaurant that is open 24 hours. Not far." Izzar then mentions fried chicken restaurant and Naira's favorite burger.

"Yeah!" Izzar got up and pulled Anaya's hand.

Although reluctant with the place to eat offered, Anaya according to also. Besides being hungry, he just wants to enjoy time with Izzar.

After leaving Naira to Mba Kemi, they left.

Anaya ordered only beef burgers, French fries and mineral water. While Izzar ordered a rice package menu complete with eggs and fried chicken. Cheeseburger and ice cappucino. All are big sizes.

"Are you really hungry?" Anaya was stunned to see Izzar's order.

"From noon I haven't eaten."

"Why?"

"Ngga. There is an order of design drawings that must be completed this afternoon," replied Izzar before chewing his eggs.

"You're busy right now. My house is not finished yet" Anaya protested.

"Your house is on schedule. But you yourself asked yesterday to add a canopy in the backyard and the fence was replaced."

Anaya grimacing.

"Your clients are getting more and more now. Is there anything special?" anaya fishing rod.

"You're the most special client." Izzar smiled making Anaya slightly blush.

He imagined the working environment of Izzar. Then he remembered Sasika and his show plan.

"You used to know Sasika because you were both in the same world of work?"

Izzar stopped eating. He was astonished, why was the name suddenly called again?

"No. She's Randi's underclassman. Even though his aunt was a property magnate, he was never interested."

Izzar stared hard at Anaya. "Why do you ask that? Have we agreed not to talk about him again?"

Anaya gulped down her drink before saying, "her giant company wants to make an apartment launching event. And he's the PIC."

"You took the show project?" Izzar was a little worried.

"Sandra is the handle."

"Yes already. Doesn't matter, does it mean?"

Anaya bit a potato and sank in silence. He was confused how to express his anxiety if related to Sasika.

Opposite him, Izzar fell silent. He held his guard back because Anaya went back to talking about the woman he had forgotten. Although he realized, for Anaya, the existence of Sasika who suddenly represented the company of Bu Erlina into a client event organizer services certainly made him uncomfortable.

Izzar did not want to empathize. However, he had another matter that filled his heart even more.

He realized that he had to tell Anaya the problem. His relationship with Anaya, originally purely symbiotic mutualism, has turned into a personal relationship based on love. And love should be accompanied by openness and mutual trust.

But Izzar was confused as to how to start. He could not feel how Anaya's reaction later if he knew what really made him late to go home earlier.

Izzar took a long breath.
