Sunday morning around nine, the phone at Sweet Cake Shop rang. The operator answered the call in a friendly and courteous manner. A middle-aged woman named Martha asks for a birthday cake for her grandson. After making sure that the order had been delivered, the middle-aged woman immediately hung up.

A few minutes later the phone rang again. The operator swiftly picked up the phone. This time the caller was the messenger who delivered the woman's order. He said he had an accident. Thankfully he only suffered minor injuries but the order cake he was carrying fell apart. Hearing the news, the operator became slightly panicked. He did not immediately contact the customer to apologize for this incident. Instead he tried to contact Arman, another messenger who worked at the store, who happened to be on holiday that day.

Arman was washing the motor in front of his rented house. The mobile phone in his room rang several times, luckily he heard the sound. He was asked to help deliver the order Martha Mother and he was willing because it was not busy. The distance from Arman's rented house to Sweet Cake Shop is not too far away. Less than half an hour, he had arrived at his workplace. Cake orders for Mrs. Martha were remade, replaced with new ones, and Arman was preparing to slide to Ms. Martha's residence immediately.



Ms. Martha's extended family has gathered at her home. He was about to hold a garden party to celebrate Anggi's birthday, his grandson just five years old. They waited a little restlessly. Especially Anggi who had been asking when his birthday cake will come. After almost two hours late, the order finally arrived. Martha's already furious mother rejected all Arman's explanations and scolded her. He was embarrassed to have let his guests long wait, moreover the order of the cake was wrong because of the panic that occurred after the accident that hit the previous courier. He ordered a chiffon cake but Arman instead brought a black forest.

Surely the error is not Arman's. This is not his responsibility. He only asked for help to deliver orders to replace his friend who accident this morning. Martha's mother also threatened not to pay the order, but Arman did not want to take a headache and more silent in facing that raging old woman. He has often experienced similar circumstances, hearing complaints from customers is a daily food for a courier like Arman. Bagimya, this is just a trivial matter that need not be exaggerated.

Arman stepped off of Mrs. Martha's residence as she brought the order of the rejected cake. Suddenly a young woman called her. "Mas, here's my cake order paid," the young woman said as she handed me a few hundred thousand bills. Arman refuses it gently and explains that this is purely the fault of his shop so there is no need to pay. The young woman nodded, understood Arman's explanation, and with a little smile she said, "I'm sorry my mother, Mas. Do not enter the heart, Mama emang so its nature ". Apparently the young lady is Ika, the son of Ms. Martha. Hearing the words Arman's heart became a little tranquil and he could smile, then left the house.

The next day after the busy office, Ika took time to stop by the Sweet Cake Shop to buy chiffon cake for Anggi, his nephew who canceled to celebrate the birthday yesterday. In his mind, Anggi would have loved to have this surprise. After picking out a good cake, he immediately paid at the checkout. Unconsciously, he left a folder containing job documents on the counter. The folder he had held since he entered the store and left behind while he was paying. The cashier guard was not aware of it. By nine o'clock in the evening, the store will close soon. Arman helps his friend clean up in the store. He found Ika's folder on the counter. He opened the folder and found the address of a company. Arman intends to deliver the leftovers tomorrow morning.

Arman looking for office address listed in the document findings. finally arrived him on a large building in the South Jakarta. having met receptionist and explain the goal, he are welcome to wait. he would like to meet with the people who signed the document. three minutes people awaited come. Ika bit surprised with the arrival of Arman but he say Hello first. apparently arrival Arman in his office that morning to take the documents that miss yesterday. Ika already a half dead looking for the document. the document is very important for Ika who served as marketing manager at trading company that's because it concerns the contract with the client from abroad. Ika very thank Arman the gods penolongnya on that day. he intended to provide benefits to Arman. he invited Arman to his home with subterfuge order cake and ask is delivered afternoon later. afternoon Arman come take cake order Ika. Arman welcome sign because that afternoon mother Martha chance wasn't at home. they start a meeting with become acquainted. young woman and pretty real name mestika, exactly as it is written in the document delivered Arman this morning. after become acquainted, they talk. they talk about anything. it turns out, in addition to good and honest, Arman is also a personal fun. it's not wrong if Ika interested in the man this one. Ika also has the personalities friendly. although his life almost perfect with all what has, he still not arrogant. he used to mix with anyone who met and not apathetic to the state of around it. days go by, after the introduction of the Ika become more and close to Arman. almost every day Ika order cake favorite, cupcakes and Gingerbread, to delivered by Arman. simply started an escort cake both of them can each other in love. Ika no longer feel the sweetness cupcake or Gingerbread in his mouth since more sweet love to Arman the introduction cake that. they have seen the road with in several occasions. ever also Arman take shuttle Ika office with Motor bututnya when Ika not bring the car. mother Martha know the relationship his daughter of it. However, he just let alone to arrive at the right to attack Arman. six months already a trip love them. it is enough for Ika to better know Arman.

Arman self-conscious and slowly began to stay away from Ika. it is the type of person who never obtrude. away from Ika does not mean Arman not love him again. maybe mother Martha true. biting with Ika is a dream never be a real for Arman. Arman almost give up in the face of the storm this. only Ika still fight. relationship Ika with his mother stretchable. every day there is only the debate that involve them. and it definitely boils down on one problem, which is Arman. "you changed since know the man, Ika", satire it always spoken of the mouth of the mother Martha. while rendy mentioned tempo day is a distant relatives family Ika and friends with Ika since small. rendy actually good people, ideal man many women, but Ika not like it because nature stiffer and boring. year ago there plan matchmaking between them but Ika continue stalling time to reasons to pursue a career. so, the actual between Ika and rendy no bond anything or engagement uniting them. compared to rendy, Arman indeed differ greatly in terms of stability. but love can not be measured by the material. there seseuatu so rare in self Arman that makes Ika difficult to remove it. several times mother Martha rushed to the hospital. hypertension and a variety of complications disease his often relapse because of emotion burst-explosive against the rigors of demeanor Ika.
