Since being accused of having an illicit relationship with her boss. Danilla chose to resign that day and that very second. She felt that her pride was trampled on by the main owner of the Rayn Construction Group company.
"La, how long are you going to be like this?" Karen asked looking at her best friend who was busy with her cell phone.
Danilla was silent, she didn't care what her best friend said.
Even Karen could no longer speak. She had memorized the very stubborn nature of Danilla.
"Well, if you don't want to find a job now. You'd better go home!" said Karen irritably.
"Ren, you have the heart to kick your best friend out?" asked Danilla with a sad face.
"Don't you dare! After all, my eyes feel like every time I see you, you're just lazy in the boarding house," Karen breathed heavily. She saw her best friend changed 180 degrees in appearance.
"Are you not willing to help me? What kind of friend are you?!" Danilla protested in an annoyed tone.
"Yes, I'm a friend who always reminds you to get up again. No, it's getting more and more unclear. What if your parents find out?"
"Yeah, don't let him find out," replied Danilla with a grin.
Karen also smacked Danilla's head spontaneously.
OW!!!
Danilla screamed in pain, having received a smack from Karen.
"It's crazy to know, Ren!" squeaked Danilla with a grimace in pain.
"Halah, just like that hurts! Spoiled!"
"It hurts!" Danilla was annoyed, she looked very annoyed at her friend's outrageous attitude.
"See yourself looking like a bum!" scornfully Karen looked at Danila whose face was wrinkled.
"Very stupid! I don't care about your weightless comments!" Danilla replied, because she was reluctant to hear what her best friend said. She is still too lazy to find a new job. How else, if she's comfortable with the way she's been doing for three months after her resignation at Rayn Construction Group.
"How can a guy propose to you, if you look like a kebo?!" Karen wrinkled her nose.
"Damn it you caught me! I am indeed…. "
"Well, you should just go back to your village. My eyes are a bit like seeing you like this clumsy thing."
Danilla just yawned.
"Oath! I never thought that I would have a model friend like you!" said Karen.
"It's been said kebo. Now he's said to be bummed, too," Danilla snorted angrily. "You are so noisy, like my mother and father, whose hobby is nagging! After all, I've only been unemployed for three months. Karen hasn't made it to a year yet! Be patient, I still need a picnic. Besides, I still have enough savings for the next few months," Danilla began to defend herself. She even covered her ears with a headset, then watched the Korean drama marathon.
"It's hard to talk to the queen, she's always yelling, when she's told she's always not heard," Karen grumbled as she threw Danilla's dirty clothes that were scattered here and there in the boarding house.
"Where are you going?" ask Danilla.
"Office," Karen answered, rolling her eyes. Then she took her little black backpack.
"Oh," Danilla responded as she chewed on the babahong brand of potato chips she bought on the side of the road near the boarding house. "Don't forget to come back to the boarding house and bring Jono's chicken noodle dumplings!" shouted Danilla.
Karen is annoyed with Danilla's change in attitude since her resignation from Rayn Construction Group. "Just buy it yourself!" said Karen irritably.
"STINGY!" Danilla cursed while chewing potato chips.
Danilla still remembers how the words of the owner of the Rayn Construction Group hurt her. She felt like she wanted to say harshly to the middle-aged man. Called as a bitch or some kind of mistress for her boss. Though she never had a crush on her boss at all. She is only loyal to one love. In her mind there was only Akbar's name. In fact, every heartbeat.
"Damn it, that old man! I want to skin it!" mumbled Danilla as she took some potato chips from the plastic bag, then chewed on them in annoyance.
The incident really turned Danilla's world upside down. She even feels more comfortable spending her time watching Korean dramas until he doesn't sleep all night. She also refused to return to her hometown. What she got was blasphemy from her neighbors.
In the village, there are already many friends of Danilla's age who are married and even have children. Meanwhile, Danilla is still pursuing a career and the reason she is not married yet. Even though it was all because of her first love who left her at the time of her affection.
"If only Mas Akbar didn't go, maybe I wouldn't be all this bothered," said Danilla, staring at the ceiling of her room. She really missed the figure of a man who could make her fall in love over and over again.
Back in high school, they were known as a perfect couple. They're always like envelopes and stamps sticking together. Everywhere always together regardless of distance though.
One day before the first anniversary suddenly everything changed. Especially Akbar's attitude was suddenly very cold.
"La?"
"Yes."
"I want us to break up."
Instantly Daniel's world collapsed like an earthquake.
"Break?" repeated the speechless Danilla. He also doesn't know why Akbar said he broke up with him.
"We can't be together anymore," Akbar said looking at Danilla.
"Yes, why?" asked Danilla again, she started to squint her eyes. Because, it doesn't make sense. She felt his relationship was fine.
"I can't we have a long distance relationship."
"Man, why don't we give it a try?"
"I can't, La. I have to focus on my education in Sydney. I can't possibly give my time to you?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"There must be some other reason? Why do you have the heart to break up with me, when it's our anniversary, Mas?" said Danilla. "Surely you found another girl besides me, right?"
"No, La. I just want to focus on my education," he said holding Danilla's shoulders.
"Lie! That can't be the only reason!"
"La, I beg you to understand. If we are a match then we will meet again."
"Shouldn't we just end our relationship?"
Akbar smiled, he immediately left just like that, leaving Danilla that night in a cafe. It was raining on the streets of Jakarta. Until it all tastes too bitter to remember.

At Rayn Construction Group it was a mess, because Kiano couldn't get the tender he was supposed to win. He also felt very angry. Moreover, he should have come with Danilla to present some proposals.
"All this because of that damn wife!" Kiano cursed, he felt frustrated at his failure.
Kiano also had to come for a check up at the obstetrics clinic. He had promised his father to immediately carry out a pregnancy program for his wife.
Kiano came right on time. There, Vira was waiting in the waiting room of the Amrita clinic.
"Come on," Kiano ordered.
Kiano didn't want to talk much, he immediately entered the clinic room to see Yuanita's doctor to do several stages of her second fertility check.
"Doc, can we do a pregnancy program?" asked Kiano.
Doctor Yuanita smiled, "We'll check the results first. Is the father's sperm quality or not. We also check the eggs in your wife's womb too. Can fertilization be done or not?
"So, can we do a pregnancy program without having sex with my wife?" asked Kiano.
Doctor Yuanita smiled. "Can be. As long as both parties agree."
"Why do you talk like that, Mr. Kiano? Am I never able to enter his life?" Vira thought.
"When will we start the process?" asked Kiano.
"We are waiting for the results," answered doctor Yuanita.
Doctor Yuanita began to examine Vira's uterus. However, he found some irregularities. Vira's womb is problematic. There is a cancer that is quite large in size, so there is no possibility of her having a natural pregnancy program, or IVF. Vira was diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer.
Kiano was waiting for the results of the examination of Vira's uterus. He is also waiting for the results of his sperm test lab.
Vira could only take a deep breath. She had a very gloomy look on her face.
"Mrs. Vira don't have to worry, because your illness still has hope for a cure," said doctor Yuanita.
"How do you do that, Doc?" Vira asked with her eyes squinted.
"We will do the removal of one wall of your uterus. And, after that there is only a thirty percent small chance that you will be able to fertilize the IVF process. You can fail or succeed, but your life will be at stake. Because the condition of your other uterus is very weak," said doctor Yuanita. "I suggest that you find a rented womb."
There was silence in the consultation room. Vira can only surrender and be sincere with whatever happens in her life.
"Why is all this so hard, my God?!" Vira complained in her small heart. She was very saddened by the information given by Yuanita's doctor.
"You useless woman!" Kiano muttered in his heart. He felt that Vira was never useful as a wife. He raised an eyebrow at Vira with a wrinkled face, after leaving Yuanita's doctor's room.

In the living room Danilla was busy watching the drama, she even laughed or cried when she saw the drama.
At the end, Karen was annoyed with her friend's overreacting behavior. In fact, until she came home from work her best friend was still watching the drama and had not showered, because she was still wearing her pajamas yesterday.
"Danilla!" Karen hissed.
"Ouch! Karen why can't you make my life calm down a bit!" Danilla snorted in annoyance at Karen's call. She had to pause the Korean drama video which she almost finished for a few minutes.
"Stone head!" cursed Karen excitedly at her friend's unrepentant behavior.
Danilla didn't even care, she was just watching while snacking on potato chips. She also enjoys her life. She paid no heed to Karen's calls or nagging like an endless wasp.
Karen also felt very excited about her best friend who turned 360 degrees. In fact, she saw her best friend rarely bathed.

Vira was just silent, she had to do all that. She actually couldn't stand her husband's attitude anymore.
"God, why should I marry a man as cold as Kiano?" Vira thought looking at her wedding photo. Tears fell from her eyes unintentionally. "If this is your test, then I will be sincere, God," Vira thought.
Five years of marriage is just tasteless, never even touched at all. It only looks like a sticking display, when there are a lot of people nearby. Vira got the behavior that should be her husband, but only a shadow.
"Am I not worthy to be with you, Kiano? What did I do wrong?" a question in Vira's mind who is always present in her nights. Neglected, even just a stranger. "He is my husband, but I am only on paper that is written, not in his heart I am placed," said her heart.
Kiano sleeps on the sofa, while Vira sleeps on the bed with the attached blanket. He was sincere, but his heart was very hurt.
"Wait!"
Kiano just walked arrogantly and left Vira. He seemed to think that the woman who was legal as his wife was only a stranger. He only did what his father ordered him to do.
Vira was silent in a mute atmosphere, she was immersed in a wound. There is no confession. She also wanted to scream, that she was the legal wife. She needs a hand to hold. In fact, a shoulder to lean on.
"Am I not worthy of being the queen of your heart?" Vira thought at that time, she only smiled faintly, even though it was a fake mask in her soul. She regrets having accepted the proposal and marrying a man who will never love her at all. Just dumped it over and over.
Marrying the son of a colognerat could not give her the dream of being happy. She just felt alone in a silence. Together, but still alone, Vira thought as she looked up at the sky from her bedroom window.
Endure, but it hurts. As if the world has never supported Vira. Everything is just a dream like in a mirage world. What looks real, but is only a false image.
Love will never exist between her and her husband. Vira was silent and glued there. Hope all is well. Having a normal relationship in the eyes of many people. Reality is just a lie.
"Vira, don't expect much, because Kiano just stays like that," said Vira in her mind. "You are just a wife on paper, not a wife as a companion in my life." Vira slowly took a deep breath until it was so heavy it felt like exhaling. She tried to be strong with her husband.
"Everyone says that I will happily marry Kiano, but that will never happen," Vira was silent in the silence of the night, she slowly closed her eyes. "I should be able to feel as a wife for you, Mas," Vira began to wipe her tears with the back of her palm.
Kiano began to sleep in his sleep on the sofa with a blanket and pillow. The sound of the night beast rang out. The cold night breeze penetrated through a crack in his bedroom window. Until it stabbed into the pores of Vira's skin.
"You should be able to be a warm blanket to me. But, we are just a couple of people who are destined only on a piece of paper. I'm your wife, but you only think of me as a stranger in your life. How long do I have to do this, sir? Will you someday leave me or bring another woman into our household?" thought Vira. I hope someday you can love me, even though I have to wait for you within the time limit," Vira whispered in the blanket.
It was a long night, Kiano woke up. He just kept himself busy by reading some books about business. He also massaged his forehead. It seemed he was feeling very tired about today. He felt that all these problems had come since the woman on his bed became his wife.
"I should have rejected papa's plan to marry Vira. She's just a useless woman!" Kiano muttered while massaging his forehead.
