Angga and Evan were already in the car and had not left the parking lot of the Seteras Coffee Shop. Apart from observing Ana who hasn't appeared out of the place yet, they are also trying to contact Lia because Angga has asked the girl to stay and wait.
"Ugh, the phone isn't picking up. Even though I already told Lia, if the cellphone has to be on standby and don't go home before the three of us meet," said Angga, who seemed to be starting to get restless.
"Hmmm… try again, Ngga."
"Ugh, not picked up again," said Angga in a slightly annoyed tone. Then, decided to send a message to Lia.
"Ana is already out, Ngga. She's been riding a motorcycle. Hmmm… if we just walk, how about it?"
"It's okay. Please chat with Lia, Van. And ask where is her position now." Angga handed his cell phone to Evan, while he started the car, then left the place.
"Sent, anyway. But it hasn't been read yet."
"Why is that child, huh?"
"By the way, you know her house yet? I mean her address."
"Hehehehehe, I was so busy chatting, I didn't even ask for her address."
"Right... right, you really can't be depended on as a person!" Evan said with an annoyed snort, then chose to shift his gaze to the front.
"Hey, why are you the one who's upset? It should be me, Van. It's been ten years together, still can't believe me. Now, everything is clear right. I didn't lie to you at all. Lia is there, real Lia, and we met at the mini-market," Angga answered at length, not wanting to be outdone by Evan's answer.
"Yeah, you just want revenge because I've done it."
"It's a reply, but it's not like that because it's about other people. And… I swear, we should be grateful, especially you, Van."
Evan was silent for a moment, then agreed with what his friend said. And he understood what Angga meant about why they should be grateful for what happened.
First, Evan and Angga took one important lesson; that there are humans who take advantage of an opportunity that comes so that they can take as much personal advantage as possible without thinking about other people.
Second, they still meet good people like Lia—who is friendly and accepts them as friends, even though they haven't known each other for a long time. In addition, they learned from the girl what it means to forgive someone who has done something bad, not even once or twice.

"How is it, Lia has returned yet, Van?"
Even before Evan answered, Angga's phone rang and Lia's name appeared on the screen as the caller.
"Long live, Ngga. This is the girl on the phone. Let's go first."
Angga nodded, then pulled the car over in the allowed place.
"Lia, where are you?" without further ado, Angga immediately answered. Even the greeting from Lia was not responded to at all.
"Sorry, Ngga. I'm on the road and I'll be home soon. My brother called, he said he had important business," said Lia from the other side, but her voice sounded sluggish.
"Well, even though Evan and Ana's problems are over, you know."
"Thank goodness it's over. Next time, I'll see you. Uh, I'm sorry. I have arrived and have to get off."
"Eh, Lia… Lia… wait…"
"Turn it off," said Angga languidly, placing his cell phone in his pocket.
"Maybe Lia has something to do, Ngga."
"Yes, she said that she had important business. His sister called."
"Yeah, maybe some other time. Now let's go home, okay? It's evening too. In addition, there have been several calls that I have not answered. From Mom and Dad. Hffttt… that's something being discussed again," Evan grumbled, glancing out the window.
"Uncle Jho and Aunt Puspa Ajeng are not cool," said Angga as he started his car, then drove back to leave the place.

"Ares, how is Daddy's condition?" Lia asked her brother as soon as she arrived in front of the house.
Ares, who was sitting on the terrace, immediately got up from his seat and approached his sister who had been waiting for him.
"It's been treated, Sis. Now on a break. Incidentally, Mr. Syamil is at home, so he can immediately come to check on Dad."
Mr. Syamil is a medical officer who serves as the head nurse at one of the hospital in the area. Luckily, the man was still at home and had not yet gone to the hospital. So, Bimo—Lia and Ares's father could be handled immediately.
The two of them entered the house without making any noise. Cautiously, Lia and Ares looked at their parents' bedroom, the door was not closed. For a moment, the two of them were silent on the lips of the door while looking at their father who was lying on the bed with a sad look.
There were bandages around his forehead and elbows. This indicates that the father has an open wound that must be covered with a bandage. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries. Even his legs didn't appear to be seriously injured at all. Even so, there is still a feeling of concern that surrounds him. Moreover, Bimo the father is still undergoing outpatient surgery after surgery.
Knowing that his two children were standing in the doorway, Sekar gestured for them to come in. Lia and Ares approached, then stood near they mother who was already sitting on the edge of the bed.
Lia embraced her mother because she felt very sad to see the condition of her father who had another bad luck. The incident scared Lia. She was afraid that her father would get sicker and his recovery even longer.
'Hmm… it's not like that. Father will recover quickly,' said Lia's heart at that time. She turned her bad prejudices into good prayers that were said for her father; 'I hope you get well soon as usual'
After making sure that Bimo was asleep, the three of them came out of the room. Lia followed her mother to the kitchen, while Ares sat back on the terrace.
"Dad was nagging asking to come to the garden, even though Mother had told him to wait on the terrace. At first, I obeyed, but when Mother was busy cutting flowers, suddenly there was a cry for help. It turned out that your father fell because he followed into the garden. Thank God it's okay, but surely his body hurts because his wheelchair fell on him." Sekar—Lia's mother immediately told the chronology of what happened to Bimo. Hearing this explanation, Lia was silent because her chest began to feel tight.
Lia does not blame Bimo, the father is eager to visit the flower garden even though his condition is not yet possible. This place has been a source of livelihood for their family for a dozen years and is very much loved by Bimo.
"If he want to go to the garden, just do it, Mom."
"However, access to it is a bit difficult, Lia. Not wide too. Moreover, there are still many builders who are busy renovating our greenhouses and gardens to make it more comfortable for visitors who come later."
"Then I'll ask the carpenter for help to widen the road next to the house that leads to the garden, Ma'am. How?"
"But …"
"For Father's sake, Mom. I understand, Dad is always happy when he's in the garden. Besides that, so that Dad doesn't get bored. And if something goes wrong, we can respond quickly." Lia again added a reason so that her mother could think more about the idea.
"Try later, I'll ask the handyman for help, okay?" Sekar said with a smile as a sign of agreement and received suggestion from the girl.

The two young men had arrived back at the house to carry out their activities. Evan decided to go to his room to clean himself immediately. Meanwhile, Angga prefers to lazily lie down on the sofa in the living room with the excuse that he wants to relax for a while.
When Evan was getting ready to clean himself, Lia's handkerchief accidentally fell from the shirt pocket he was about to take off. Then he just picked it up. But strangely, the corners of his lips lifted when he noticed the object that had been keeping a mystery about its owner.
Today, Evan only saw Lia from a far without having time to pay close attention to the girl. Even so, he admits that Lia is a beautiful girl. And everything that is depicted in the girl's profile is exactly what Angga had told her.
But it turns out there is one thing that is unforgettable for Evan. Namely, about Lia's kindness, who still thinks of Ana even though the girl has done something bad to her. Because the girl did not want to take advantage by humiliating others.
In front of the handkerchief, Evan hoped that one day they would meet again. Because he wanted to return the handkerchief to its real owner. In addition to getting acquainted, he also wanted to convey his apologies and gratitude which he had mistakenly addressed to other people.
For a long time, he observed and examined the piece of cloth that was full of memories. And somehow, his mind was also transported back to the unexpected events that followed the appearance of that thing. After a moment of feeling stuck and feeling enough to stare at the meaningful cream-colored handkerchief, Evan decided to continue his cleaning activities.
Meanwhile …
