Manhattan, New York City

Life is meaningless without a strong struggle and determination. Facing all kinds of storms of life that hit with a struggle that starts from the lowest point, until it reaches the point of success.

The harshness of life makes Naraya a formidable personal figure, a heart that was once broken because of the betrayal of the person she loved so much made Naraya build a wall that was invisible to anyone who approached her. A heart that freezes like chunks of ice. Makes Naraya a cold and quiet person.

No more sweet smiles on Naraya's face smiles that warm anyone who saw her. Since the incident four years ago. Naraya was never seen smiling. Everyone close to Naraya looks concerned seeing Naraya now. The betrayal that drowned Naraya's cheerful figure.

Since moving to New York Naraya started to pioneer her business in the culinary field, Naraya opened a pasta restaurant and cafe. Which also provides various kinds of souvenirs unique to each country. It didn't take long for Naraya to develop her business. Within four years Naraya was able to open several branches of restaurants and cafes in New York. Restaurants and cafes that are named "Fidelidade no amor" which means in Portuguese is love loyalty. The concept of a cozy restaurant and cafe that carries a youthful style makes "Fidelidade no amor" the number one favorite dining and hangout place in the Manhattan area.

Derrrt ... derrrttt ... derrttt ...

Naraya's cell phone suddenly vibrated, when she saw who was calling Naraya immediately picked up her phone.

"Yes ma'am ..." replied Naraya politely. It was unusual for the orphanage to call Naraya, there must be something going on at the orphanage. Suddenly Naraya had a bad feeling.

"Nay, our orphanage is about to be evicted, the landowner has sold it. Mother is afraid Nay, what will happen to the orphanage children? " Said Mrs. Ani sadly.

"Mother, don't worry, there's still Naraya. While Naraya is still alive, the mother and children of the orphanage won't be bothered. That's Naraya's promise to mother. " Said Naraya to convince Mrs. Ani. Naraya didn't want to see Mrs. Ani sad. because for Naraya Bu Ani are her parents, who took care of Naraya from a baby. Who gives affection and love that his parents never gave him.

"Yes, son, I trust Naraya." Said Mrs. Ani.

"You take care of yourself with your siblings, if there is anything, contact Naraya. Tomorrow Naraya will return to Indonesia. " Said Naraya politely. The call was ended by Naraya.

Naraya contacted her confidant who was in Indonesia to find out who would want to evict the orphanage.

"Hello, Orlando." Said Naraya firmly.

"Yes, miss." Said Orlando politely.

"Please find out who wants to evict the Pertiwi orphanage, and what motive underlies the eviction. Tomorrow I'm going to Indonesia. I'm waiting for the report on the table tomorrow. "

"Ready Miss." It didn't take long for Naraya to act. Although Naraya has been living in New York for several years. Naraya continues to monitor the development of her business in Indonesia. And always meet the needs of the orphanage.

After finishing all her business in New York, Naraya got ready to go to the airport by helicopter.

Naraya feels cramped because she has to return to her country. In the place where his heart was once broken was not left. Even though trying to forget the pain takes a struggle, a Naraya came to this point. Become a closed woman. Who does not want to know the name love anymore? Naraya got off the helicopter directly at the tarmac at New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Then Naraya immediately entered the jet plane that would take her to Indonesia, by boarding her private jet.

The wealth and luxury that Naraya enjoys, thanks to her hard work so far. His business empire in the culinary field was a booming success. All products that Naraya sells currently have their patent rights from the Naraya company. Nc Corporation which he built two years ago. Which houses Naraya's restaurants, cafes, hotels, and shopping centers.

After a long journey that took a little time, and finally, the plane Naraya was riding on arrived at the Soekarno Hatta Airport runway. Naraya got ready to get off the plane and go to the lobby while waiting for the driver to pick her up. Naraya stopped by to buy warm chocolate. after leaving the chocolate shop Naraya continued her journey to the Lobby waiting for pick-up. In the middle of the journey, Naraya accidentally bumped into a man, Naraya's hot chocolate spilled on the man's shirt.

Bruck !!!

"Does the Way not use the Eyes?" The man said curtly to Naraya.

"Sorry ..." Naraya replied coldly and wore a flat expression on her face.

"Is it just an apology that you can say? Can't you see my coat is dirty with your drink? "

"So what do you want? I have to compensate and buy you a new coat to replace? " Naraya said sarcastically and walked away leaving the man who was still silent.

"Unique woman." Said the man named Arsenio.

Naraya made a phone call to the driver who picked her up at the airport. Naraya was a little annoyed because of the incident at the airport lobby earlier. By default, Naraya wanted to be angry now.

"Hello, Mr. Man, have you arrived at the airport?" Said Naraya to the driver.

"Yes, Mom, I was in front of the airport entrance." Said Mr. Man politely.

"Fine, I'll be right there, Mr. Man."

"Fine, ma'am..."

Naraya walked towards the driver who was waiting for her at the airport entrance. After meeting the driver, Naraya immediately got into the car.

"Sorry ma'am, we go directly to the house or directly to the company?" Asked Mr. Man politely.

"We go straight to the company, Pak Man. Because I have little business in the company. "

"Fine, ma'am."

Naraya contacted the Orlando accomplice she had assigned to find information about the eviction of her orphanage.

"Hello, Orlando,"

"Yes, miss."

"Did you get the information I want?"

"Yes, Miss."

"OK! I am waiting for you at the company, I am now on my way to the company. "

"Yes, Miss."

Naraya cut off her call with Orlando. And refocus on his thoughts.

"A city full of painful memories for Naraya. Somehow myself when time deliberately brought me back with Reyhan. Can I be strong with my heartache? Seeing the face of a man who hurt my heart and broke my heart. "

"May I be strong God." Inner Naraya.
