A few days passed, there was nothing special between Ardian and Riana.
Ardian just tried to contact Riana, meet her even the girl refused.
The girl was already tired, letting anything in her life just walk away. No more bothering about getting married.
While Ardian was seen thinking in one of his favorite places in the cafe.
“Do I have to do it?”
“But I'm not ready”
“Don't you really have to take steps if you still don't want to or even aren't ready”
Such was Ardian's babble in his murmur, stirring warm chocolate without intending to sip it.

The voice of Riana's phone rang, indicating that there had been an incoming message.
He thought it was Ardian but, once opened it turned out to be a message from his instargram account.
Hello, good afternoon
That's how the message is.
If it was someone else, maybe Riana wouldn't have responded but, the problem was, “Jeremy Nathan?” Riana muttered looking at her account profile.
“What's the deal with Ardian huh?”
^^^Yes? Is there anything I can help you with?^^^
Because they felt they had met, of course Riana replied to her message kindly.
I want to order hijab for my girl friend but, because I'm non-Islamic I don't know how to choose a hijab model. Can you help me?
^^^Boleh, usually she uses a hijab which is how? Or what kind of color do they usually wear?^^^
Usually she wears a hijab with pastel colors, plain, and maybe with a long piece of fabric?
^^^Alright, maybe you can come to our store if the distance is not too far from where you live
May I know your address and contact? Maybe I can call you when I'm confused or there's an obstacle when I go to your store?
^^^The address is right next to the XXX mall, very easy to find. You can contact the store admin. If you experience problems you can contact our store admin from social media that has been listed in my bio. Thanks^^^^
Can we meet for a minute when I get there?
^^^^^^

“Good day riana”
“Siang Lea, what's up?” Ask Riana to the point. He is currently on a phone call with a receptionist.
“Someone wants to meet you on behalf of Jeremy Nathan” said someone called Lea earlier.
“Alright, I'll be there in a minute”
“Good mbak, I will tell you. Thanks”
Lea closed her call with Riana.
“How did he say?” Nathan asked Lea.
“You can wait for him there” replied Lea, pointing to a sofa and a table that seemed to have been deliberately placed near the dressing room for guests.
“Alright, thank you” Nathan said then left Lea, walked to the place where the receptionist meant.
About 15 minutes waiting, Riana finally came to carry her bag and also some work files.
“Hai?” Riana said as she arrived in front of Nathan.
Nathan turned his head, shifting his focus from his cell phone.
“Riana?” Nathan asked.
“Yes, how can I help you? Until you bother waiting for me” Riana said.
“Ah no, I just want to meet you, chat a little more maybe?” Nathan Said.
Riana felt confused, the girl frowned. Doesn't Nathan know if Riana is his childhood friend's ex-lover? Inner the girl.
“Do you want to go home?” Nathan asked, looking at Riana who had brought her bag.
“Maybe. I thought you'd only be looking for a hijab for your friend that's” Riana replied.
Jeremy Nathan looks smiling, lifting plastic with the logo of Riana's shop. “I bought it earlier, while waiting for you”.
“Ah so”
Riana simply nodded her head, a sign that she understood.
“Can we go for a minute?” Nathan said.
...***...
Nathan and Riana are currently in a cafe, which is a branch of Ardian's cafe.
“Owner from this place is my childhood friend, Ardian. I saw on your social media account, it looks like you had a class with him when SMK?” Ask Nathan.
“Yes, I know her” Riana said.
“If you meet me like this, won't I ruin your friendship?” Riana.
Nathan looked a little surprised.
“How does that mean? Are you in a relationship with him?” Ask Nathan.
Here, Riana was similarly shocked. Doesn't Nathan know that he's Ardian's girlfriend?
“Didn't we ever meet before?” Ask Riana.
“When?”
Nathan asked back.
“At Okta's wedding instead?” Riana said, making sure that the one who was meeting her was indeed the man before her.
“Oh, so that's you? Who's with Ardian? I'm sorry, I didn't really recognize you, it was the night, I didn't pay much attention to you” Nathan said.
The two slightly chuckled, feeling that they were being played with by the circumstances.
“I'm over with Ardian, the uncertainty from him makes me tired” said Riana, there is still sadness in his eyes, Nathan can see it.
“It so happens, I am also tired of the attitude of my ex-boyfriend who is still childish. Maybe we could try to be together?” Nathan to the point.
“I don't know how to say it but, I also don't want to joke in a relationship, I myself want a serious relationship, where is there a woman who will accompany me at my low point until uphill maybe?” Continue the man.
Riana instantly fell silent, confused by her current position. Where Nathan offers him good things but, on the other hand, they even have the first time talking like this.
“I'm sorry, maybe this is too soon so, can we get to know each other first? You know, even we've just had our first conversation like this”Ucap Riana.
Nathan simply nodded, agreeing to Riana's words.
