Five years later,
Lian is struggling with her work in a laboratory owned by Ar-Rayyan Group. He is now one of the influential people there. His daily life he busy with research and trials of drugs made by Ar-Rayyan Group.
Lian, who previously studied law, has now switched professions to become one of the experts in the field of pharmacy. He continued his studies and chose this field for a reason.
Currently, Ar-Rayyan Group is developing products in the field of beauty. The project was led by Lian.
A knock on the door, it did not make Lian turn away from her busy concocting some creams that she believed were made from natural and herbal. Nowadays people like beauty products that are made from nature.
"I thought you were too focused, Lian. I didn't hear you knock on the door repeatedly." A man walked into Lian's laboratory.
"sorry. I always forget the time when I'm at work." replied Lian.
"You must not have had lunch. Stop your work and have lunch with me!" invite the man who is the big boss in the Ar-Rayyan Group.
"But, Brother Jul, I..."
"Easy! I won't fire you even if you're late for the product presentation this afternoon."
Lian just smiled. "alright. I can't refuse your invitation."
Lian leaves her job and leaves with her boss, Julian.
How did Lian end up in Ar-Rayyan Group? A lot has happened in these five years. Lian has changed a lot. So did Julian.
"Where are we going to have lunch, brother?" Although Lian is Julian's employee, Julian doesn't want Lian to call him 'master' or 'sir' like the others.
"Hmm, what do you want for lunch?" ask Julian.
"Umm, what is it?" Lian thought for a moment.
"It looks like Japanese cuisine is delicious too. Does your brother agree?" lian Proposal.
"Can too. Okay fine! We're going there now!"
"Isn't my brother with Leon?"
"No! I just want to have lunch with you. I've eaten with Leon a lot of times. I don't want the rumors about me to spread. People call me a same-sex person." Julian patted her forehead slowly.
Lian laughed too. "Why didn't my sister just get married? I think there's a lot of girls who like big brother."
"No! I still don't want to get married. I'm still waiting for someone."
Lian speechless. He knew what Julian meant.
Without further discussion, Julian drove his car out of the Ar-Rayyan Group building area. During the trip, Lian only fell silent looking at the dense streets of the capital.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lian exited the laboratory and was immediately greeted by a standing ovation from Julian. This afternoon, Lian did a very good presentation of the product.
"What is this, brother? Don't exaggerate! I just did what I should have done. This product is highly awaited by the public. Their enthusiasm is great. So it motivated me to work better while working on this project."
Julian gave a bouquet of flowers to Lian.
"You deserve this" he said.
"Thank you, sister." replied Lian while receiving a bouquet of flowers from Julian.
"I'll take you home."
"Eh? No need, Brother. I can go home by myself." subtly refused Lian.
"Don't refuse! After all, didn't you read your mother's message? He asked us to come over for dinner together."
"Eh?" Lian scrunched her forehead. He immediately checked his phone.
"God! There were many missed calls from my mother. I turned off my phone because I didn't want my concentration to be interrupted at work."
Julian laughed a little. A cold laugh that people rarely see. Julian just showed it to Lian.
"It's okay! I've already returned a message from your mother."
"What did you say to Mom?" Lian curious.
"I just replied that I'd bring her daughter to come to dinner at home."
Lian laughing. "What the hell? You guys always behave this way." Lian shook her head slowly.
Lian rolled her eyeballs. "Yes, yeah, all right. Yeah, well, then let's go home."

Forty-five minutes later, Lian and Julian arrive at Lian's parents' house. Since reuniting, Lian's parents decided to move to the city and live with Lian. Lian bought a house that was not too big for them to live in.
Lusi welcomed his daughter.
"Eh, you've come. Come on, let's just go straight to the dining room. I've prepared a special meal for today."
"Mother! What's the matter with inviting Julian's brother to dinner at our house?" lian asked while washing her hands in the sink.
"You're! Julian's son told mom everything. He said you did a good job today."
Lian just nodded her head. I don't know why Lian feels like her mom really likes Julian.
"Mother, where's dad?"
"Your father? He must still be in his study. Julian, please sit down."
"Yes, Mom. Thank you." Thank you."
Meanwhile, Lian meets her father in the study. Lian knocked on the door before entering.
"Dad!" call Lian.
"Oh, daughter! You're home yet?"
"Yes. What are you doing?"
"Look at this! Father managed to make a potion for fish farming in our village."
"really? Dad made it again? Didn't it work out?"
"Yes, I made a more potent potion. Surely the villagers are happy if the crops are abundant."
Lian smiled proudly. "Dad, I've been waiting at the dinner table with Brother Julian. I'd better leave father's job. I don't feel good if Brother Julian waits a long time."
"Oh, yes. Come, Son! We can't keep Julian's son waiting long. He's been so good to our family."
Lian smiled bitterly then followed in her father's footsteps.
Arriving at the dining table, various kinds of food had been prepared by Luci. He was very keen on serving Julian. Lian was only speechless to see her mother who liked Julian so much.
Dinner was over, Julian said goodbye to Lian's parents. Lian just waved at Julian.
After Julian died, Lusi pulled Lian's hand and told her to sit in the living room.
"What's up, Mom?"
"So, when are you getting married to Julian's son? You guys are very suitable. Don't delay it anymore. Later on Julian's son will be taken by people."
"Mother! What the hell? Julian and I have nothing to do. I am the employee." Lian insisted.
"You're! I don't know if Julian likes you. You should appreciate it. All this time he's been helping your mom and dad. Are you still thinking about that guy?"
"Mother! Don't force. Let our daughter decide her own life." said Lono, Lian's father.
"Dad, don't defend her! What you said is true. The best man for our daughter is Julian's son."
"Already, already. It's already night. Lian, you better go to your room. Don't listen to your mother."
Lian nodded then went inside her room. Lian sat on the edge of the bed while glaring away.
Lian breathed out a rough breath.
"I have to be patient! I can definitely get through this! Soon I will be able to find the evidence." muttered Lian then laid her body on the bed. A beautiful dream will soon pick him up.
...B E R S A M B U N G...
"Well, how 5 years, mom? What's the matter?"
"Silence, calm! All will be answered in due time!"
