Coral flowers that say ''safe and successful '' lined up neatly in front of a two-story building .

Grand opening is tonight.

Therefore, since morning many people are busy in and out of the place that has started tomorrow officially opened as a cafe.

'' congratulations, bro over his new branch a man patted me on the shoulder. I turned my neck back.

My smile spread, found the handsome with a dapper stelan widened his best smile, making his beautiful charm more radiated.

'' thank's my short while extending a hand.

We shake hands too.

His name is Aldi, my comrade-in-arms while still wandering in a country that is famous for being rich in petroleum.

Oh, ja. Introduce me first my name is Eldric.

When I graduated High School, Aldi and I were best friends.

We are classified as ademic teenagers, not much acting, even though they do not have any achievements.

But we have the same hopes and ideals.

We want to be successful entrepreneurs in order to raise the family and also for our own future.

It's just that the ideals are difficult to achieve because we come from an underprivileged family.

At that time, Aldi and I agreed . After graduating High School, we will go abroad to work to find capital and also work experience.

Dubai is our destination.

For six months we took English courses while odd jobs and also took care of the required correspondence.

In short we also managed to set foot in the conglomerate country.

For five years, we have used every one of our time and youth by doing some work to collect more dirhams.

All that effort was not in vain.

We went home with a lot of work experience .

And the most important thing is, we managed to raise capital to start a business.

We are also preparing for a real battle.

But this time we did it separately and promised to meet if it was successful later.

After three years, Aldi contacted me and told me that he had succeeded with his automotive business and was developing it to several major cities .

I just opened my cafe.

However, I feel quite satisfied because the three-story building that became my place of business is personally mine.

So I don't have to think about rent and use the top floor for housing to make it easier to keep an eye on my business.

My efforts went well until I was finally able to open the next branch even though it was still in the same city.

I finished our last story, and we're back to this moment.

'' Em.. So this is the branch I am looking at ?'' tanya Aldi who is still single. This year we are 34 years old.

'' the fourth answer is proud. Although my efforts are not comparable to Aldi who is much more successful in making profits .

I salute and also amazed when I know if the effort that Aldi Lakoni really successful .

He now lives with treasure.

He even managed to take his parents around Europe last year.

'' congratulations, and hopefully more success Aldi sipped the wine that had been hanging in his right hand.

For a moment we engaged in small talk, discussing and reminiscing about the past that was full of sacrificial sweat.

Until I see Aldi's attention is fixed to one point.

'' see what, anyway ?'' ask me who is curious.

'' look, de women who wear blue dresses ?'' he pointed with the tip of his lips.

A woman in a blue dress was busy watching the servants who came in and into the room.

He stood at the mouth of the connecting door between the kitchen hallway and the main hall of the cafe.

Amidst the many guests who kept coming, he looked so dexterous as he continued to develop a smile.

It looks so simple. Not only the dress she wore, but the ornaments and hair tattoos were so simple.

In accordance with his character that looks so friendly to anyone who comes near.

Even when some employees were caught making mistakes, he still smiled and just nodded. Do not scold or just rebuke, he seems to not want to bother about it at all.

And that left Aldi stunned. He seemed amazed to find that there are still female figures who have this attitude .

'' who is he ? Your employees ? ''

'' he's the manager here. More precisely my confidant's people ''

Aldi looked at me with a meaningful smile.

'' I want to know you ?''

Aldi smiled at sumringah.

At 11pm the event ends . One by one the invited guests, relatives, friends and family who came to give prayers and support began to return.

Only Aldi is still faithfully waiting for me to finish saying thank you and escorting them all to the exit .

'' sorry, uda for you to wait a long time said I who immediately sat down in the chair facing him.

Aldi smiled shook his head. It doesn't matter '' that's what he meant.

Yes, understand. She was still free because no one was waiting for her at home other than the house assistants.

'' still curious about him ? ''

Aldi nodded firmly. He seemed genuinely interested in the woman sitting in the corner after an employee brought him a cold drink.

He must be tired because since the start of the event continued to stand and did not stop paying attention to the surrounding. Make sure the opening event goes well.

'' her name is Grace, '' said I who unconsciously looked at the woman who was sipping her drink.

Grace as soon as I called her . A humble woman who is generous and always smiles at every situation.

'' mamaaaaaa.

Grace, who had been tired, stood up and prepared to welcome the boy who went straight up to her cradle.

Grace smiled so widely. He seemed so happy about the arrival of the boy by showering kisses on both cheeks of his herd.

'' mama ?'' Aldi looked at me full only.

He seems disappointed. That's what I caught from the eyes he showed me.

'' his son ?'' ask again.

I thought for a moment. I have to start where I tell it.

'' you can - you want to know me to a married woman . I have another child Aldi is upset. This time he turned his face in any direction.

'' hey, hey, hey, don't be so mean. He is not married yet ''

'' you mean ? Don't tell me she's a widow ?

Ah, fuck you ! ! ! '' Aldi was getting upset.

'' she is also not a widow, I said as I shook my head.

'' trus ? ''

I'm laughing a little.

'' ah, it's not clear if this kid is pointing at me.

I continued my little laugh while shaking. It is only natural that he chooses - choose about women. Because age is no longer the time to try.

Moreover, he once told me about his parents who always urged him to get married.

'' did you hear me say she's not married ?''

Aldi frowned in wonder.

'' not married yet ? Not a widow, either ? But already have a child ?....

Until your heart wants to know me to that rich woman.

I really want to get married, but I also have my own standards Aldi was about to get so upset and disappointed.

Yeah, that's a reasonable response. It's just that he doesn't know the full facts and the real story about Grace.

'' it was also not his son, I said making him not go away.

Aldi looked at me intensely, as if charging an explanation from me.

Makes me even more sure that she's hooked on Grace.

'' papa.' The voice that immediately made us both turn to the origin.

'' my hero, papa, I greeted my beloved boy and put him on my lap.

Aldi looked more astonished. He must be curious.

How could the boy who used to call Grace by the name of mama, now call me papa.

My feeling she must be starting to guess what's really going on.

'' Hi, brother Grace is approaching us.

The woman was simple as it looked like she was smiling to greet me and also Aldi .

A smile that reflects the personality of the owner is very friendly and also polite.

Grace stopped walking and stood three steps beside me.

'' Grace knows this Aldi my fellow students from High School, said I made them lend a hand and mentioned each other's names.

'' Edo same mama first, yes. papa want to chat for a while with om Aldi .

We just got home, I told Edo. My only child.

Edo according. He came down from my lap after greeting and saying goodbye to Aldi.

Proud to cover my heart seeing my son's attitude just now. And that's all thanks to Grace's upbringing .

'' how come you never told me about Grace ? ''

I nodded in agreement.

For the past five years, Aldi and I have rarely communicated .

Aldi was deepening his automotive science by visiting several countries that became the center of world modification.

America, Germany, Japan, and several other countries where world-class automotive workshops are there become the destination to learn about it.

Since he was still in High School, Aldi was already interested in the automotive world. Even while working in Dubai he chose to become a mechanic in one of the showrooms whose customers are luxury car owners.

'' sory, Al. I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. But the time is not yet right for me to tell what has happened in my life yesterday said I lirih.

I don't really want to remember it anymore. But for Aldi, I have to make an exception. And I hope this can be something that ends well for all of us.

Yes, I hope Aldi will be the answer to my prayers all along.

Hopefully this arrival is destined to give way for me, for the good of Edo, and especially for Grace. My sister-in-law.
