The man now only looks at Anindya and smiles again, he feels so curious about one thing "Glad to know that. I feel I always see you here every Saturday morning, what is your name?" Now she dared to look into the man's eyes, she felt very excited "Anindya, my name is Anindya Rahayu Dirgantara" she said her whole name without her realizing it, the man's smile faded, and the man realized, he said in his heart "I should have known a woman as beautiful as she, are from a descendant of blue blood." And because there was no answer from the man, Anindya took the initiative to ask, "What is yours?" with smile on her face.

"Nabastala" She was so shocked, now her heart felt like it was going to explode again. A man's name is so beautiful that Anindya's eyes lit up when she heard the man say his name.

"I am sorry, Anindya. It is time to me to go" Nabastala looked in a hurry, he seemed to be avoiding something and Anindya felt astonished and finally nodded with a smile that she still spread on her beautiful lips.

Then Nabastala left Anindya who was still wondering why suddenly he act like that. He returned to his horse-drawn carriage which was used to deliver food to the dancers and people in the dance room, inside Nabastala's heart was very happy that he finally knew the name of the woman he had admired since she came. 

However, on the other hand. Nabastala's heart was troubled because he knew that the woman, he admired was a descendant of the palace, where he knew that their social class was completely different. After struggling with his thoughts, Nabastala reached his house. then he came back to his senses when he saw his house, where there were no fancy carvings like Anindya's house, no gates or towering pillars, only a piece of wood arranged in such a way as to form a house.

Nabastala is just a food delivery man, he is not a descendant of blue blood or a child of the palace. Then, he remembered the incident again and made her smile, he still did not expect to be able to speak even knowing the woman's name. Anindya, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen after his mother and now he can only wish to see her again without having to think about his social position.

In another time, Anindya is jumping for joy in her white-patterned room. she still remembers Nabastala's face when he smiles, she still remembers how his soft voice made her heart beating so fast. She wants to meet Nabastala again, at the same time she wonders if he has been at the dance hall for a long time but why has Anindya never seen him or because all this time Anindya has only focused on herself. It does not matter anymore, now she just wants to meet him next week. She wants to sleep now, and she hopes she can meet Nabastala in her dreams, so she does not have to wait too long just to see him again.

And the day has returned, on Saturday. Where she was going to meet Nabastala, she could not wait to see him and talk to him. But apparently the plan failed just like that, now Anindya is with her father, King Dirgantara. She knew when she was with her father, no one dared to approach her or talk to her. And she really hates it when her father watches her especially when Anindya dances, she feels pressured. Now she has to find a way to get away from her father's sight for a while and of course by asking permission to go to the bathroom. 

A first, her father ordered three guards to follow Anindya, but because of her begging to let her go alone and finally her father allowed her. Anindya feels relieved after escapes from her father's tutelage for a while. She searched for Nabastala's whereabouts, she also came back to the place where she hit Nabastala's shoulder, but she could not find him and while looking she was looking into the storage room, suddenly her hand was pulled by someone, and her mouth was covered by a hand that smelled of spices.

"Anindya, why are you here? what are you doing?" Anindya's eyes sparkled again, finally she found Nabastala and she grabs the hand that Nabastala had used to cover her mouth, she holding his hand makes him red.

"I am looking for you. I know, we only met last week but it seems I have fallen in love with you, Nabastala." She spoke in one breath; she did not expect to express her feelings so quickly and she felt a bit embarrassed. "It sounds crazy, right?" Anindya sighed after saying those words and let go of Nabastala's hand which from earlier could only stare at Anindya with a look that was very difficult for her to guess, then suddenly Nabastala hugged her and made Anindya surprised. She does not know what the hug means until he said.
