Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Cannot Sleep

Afifa still could not close her eyes. He still had his handsome face. As soft as it was Dimas treated Afifa, until Afifa melted his heart, when before he was clean hard refused Dimas, and revolted when carried. “Ah ... Why is Om Dimas so handsome? But, when I want to date with om-om? Will people think I'm the cure? Ih horror! Don't want ah! Foolish Om Dimas wants to wait for me, I don't want it, later when I have graduated high school, and have graduated Om Dimas College has become grandfather dong? Indeed in this world handsome men Only Om Dimas only?” lirih.

Afifah closed his eyes, not caring about Dimas anymore. Afifa-age children are still very unstable, so yes like that. Sometimes the owner is the same Dimas, sometimes the owner is looking for more than Dimas, because Dimas is old, the age of the mother.

While Dimas was in his room, he was still glued to the ceiling of his room. The sweet and adorable face of Afifah was always in her eyes. Only this time Dimas fell in love to the shadow of his face, to interfere with his rest.

“Jam two in the morning? So I was just imagining Afifah? Goddamnit! The little boy haunts my sleep. Until two in the morning these eyes still do not want to be closed!” ogat Dimas's.

Dimas tried to close his eyes, but his drowsiness was inferior to his thoughts about Afifa. A little girl who can break her heart. Again and again the shadow of Afifah greeted Dimas with his sweet smile.

When he got out of his bed, he did not know how to close his eyes, because from that moment when he would close his eyes, the shadow of Afifa always appeared before him. “Fall in love anyway in love! Why did it come to this?” asked Dimas in his heart.

Dimas never felt this kind of thing, even when he was in love with Salma was not like this, and with other women Dimas was not like this. He is haunted by the shadow of Afifa tonight, until he wants to close his eyes he can not. Dimes into the kitchen to get drinking water. Until his throat was dry, he still could not close his eyes. He sipped water until the toilet, then he looked for food that was quite heavy, usually if eating foods high in carbohydrates will quickly drowsy. He saw a banana cheese bun on the dinner table, maybe Mila took it from the store. Usually Afifah does like banana cheese bread, so Miss Mila brought it.

“But my abstinence from eating foods like this at midnight, plus chocolate milk, already this is a taboo once, but if not this way I will not be able to sleep. Maybe if I am full I will sleep, and can stop the shadow of Afifah that keeps coming to haunt me,” said Dimas while pouring chocolate milk into his glass.

Dimas enjoyed a banana cheese bun with a mouthful of chocolate milk. He did maintain his diet, eating bread just just like that, let alone eating in the middle of the night like he currently does.

“It's over, maybe soon drowsiness will greet me?” dimas lirih.

He went back to his room. Waiting for sleepiness that never comes. However, it is useless. He waited for drowsiness to come, but that kept coming the shadow of Afifa. The shadow as he kissed her in the car, so passionate that he made the buttons of the upper Afifah shirt slip two buttons, and he freely colonized Afifah's chest. “Damn it! Not sleepy coming but the shadow of Afifa again! Argghhtt .... Afifa!” he cursed with a groan.

Although sleepiness never came, Dimas still tried to close his eyes. No matter what shadow Afifah greets, let him draw the shadow of Afifah to accompany his sleep. At four in the morning, he closed his eyes.

In the morning, Afifah has taken a bath, has perfumed, and already looks very neat. Madam Mila saw her granddaughter, her tumbens at seven in the morning had been groomed and neat, usually just out of her room and still disheveled her hair and clothes.

“You already scented the tumbent, Fah?” ask Miss Mila.

“Eyang, there are friends Afifah want to play here. His name is Vero, his grandson Opa Alka, his friend Opa Ardha, so Afifah rather early in the morning, he said he had run from dawn to here, ” Afifah replied.

“Male of your friend?” ask Miss Mila.

“Iya, Eyang. It's okay, right?” answer Afifah.

“Your boyfriend?” Madam Mila again asked as if she was interrogating Afifah.

“Not, Eyang .... We just met yesterday, when I invited Opa and Oma to the wedding of his friend's son opa. We are acquaintances there, continued to chat Afifah overnight, he said to play here, mumpung still vacation,” explained Afifah.

“Oke, no problem. You think your boyfriend, don't date first, you're still a kid. Yes, your mother used to be still SMP already dating, but eyang asked you not, huh?” said Miss Mila.

“Iya eyang, no kok, Afifah not dating. Yes for friends anyway, there is no harm in making friends?” answer Afifah.

“Ya already if only friends are okay,” said Miss Mila. “This Om Dimas has not come out of his room, Fah?” ask Miss Mila.

“Not seen from earlier. Afifah will wake up from five o'clock. After dawn was not sleeping again, look for the wind to the back, the same chat with Vero, telling me the address here,” explained Afifah.

Ms. Mila tried to knock on Dimas's door, but there was no word from Dimas. Madam Mila cut off the door handle, Dimas' room door was unlocked, she came in and saw Dimas still asleep, hugging the bolster under a thick blanket. Ms. Mila turned off the AC and opened the window of Dimas' room, so that Dimas woke up due to sunlight entering his room. Dimas wriggled his body, he blinked his eyes because of the glare exposed to the sunlight that entered through the window slit in his room.

“I—ibu?” said Dimas with a hoarse voice.

“You slept well, Dim? I wake you up not waking up. Yes, I have used the way Salma if you wake up, if the window is opened, the curtain is also opened, you must wake up because of the glare with incoming sunlight. Wake up at last?” said Miss Mila.

“Mom still remembers Salma's habits. I remember that too, Mom. Although I have forgotten and I close the memento, still sometimes still remember, but yes, it's also my fault, Salma also deserves to be happy with the person she loves now, but,” says Dimas. “Perhaps if Dimas does not do that, Dimas is still happy to have a mom, surely Dimas and Salma have cute children, who can accompany mom and mom. But, Dimas made a mistake that left everything ruined, Bu.” Dimas remembers everything, when he was with Salma, until he finally met Rani, and there was a separation between himself and Salma.

“Have not been remembered, so you are looking for a replacement for Salma. Salma is already happy, what's wrong with you also being happy by opening your heart to other women?” said Miss Mila.

“I've found, Mom. She is a minor, she is the granddaughter of mother –Afifah. I'm in love with Afifah, Mom. But it feels impossible, what does everyone say that I love my ex-wife's son?” said Dimas in his heart.

“Open your heart to other women, you also need your companion, Dimas? To complain, to share stories, build a happy family?” said Miss Mila.

“Later, Mom, not yet. Pray for it, yeah?” answer Dimas.

“Yes no matter how strong mom prays, but you have no effort? Same with dong?” said Miss Mila.

“This is another effort, but the woman does not want to be the same Dimas, just pray yes, Bu?” said Dimas.

“Iya mom always pray for you, the important thing is you effort, do not shut up!” firmly Ms. Mila. “This is why you woke up to half-eight? Are you not at the office?” ask Miss Mila.

“Evening watching the ball, Mom. Until four in the morning. Then go to his office, anyways my secretary said there was no meeting today,” replied Dimas.

“When you watch the ball always do not remember the time!” tukas Bu Mila's.

“This is because of my mother's grandson, who haunted me until I couldn't sleep, Mom!” dimas said in his heart.

“Oh Yes, Dim. Coincidentally you go on a whim, you can accompany Afifah, because there are friends who want to come here, want to play here he said,” said Bu Mila.

“Friends? Who is Afifah's friend?” ask Dimas curiously.

“His name is Vero he said, he's from dawn already traveled here. Introduced the same opinion yesterday, he said, the granddaughter of his opanya relatives. Maybe the smells will be betrothed to Afifah. Understandably the only granddaughter, so yes so you can seedlings, bebetl, equivalent weights. Usually there is a big family that is so, but right now it should be, because Afifah is still Junior High? Yes hopefully just be friends,” explained Miss Mila.

“Oh yes already, later Dimas accompany, Mom. Dimas want to take a shower first, yes?” said Dimas.

“Yes, shower gih! Then breakfast,” said Miss Mila.

“Iya, Ma'am,” replied Dimas.

Dimas clenched his palm, he was furious to hear a friend of Afifah named Vero wanted to come, wanted to play here to meet Afifah. Dimas thought only acquaintance, it turns out even want to come here.

“Damn it! Want my rival?” dimas' grumbling was upset. “Look Afifah, you will not be able to love other men besides me! I'm your girlfriend, Afifah. You ask, and I will never kill you, even if you ask to break up!” ogat Dimas's.

Dimas rubbed his face rough, could-can Afifah allow Vero to come to his eye home. “Oke, just look. I am ready to compete with any man! Please make friends with other guys, or date, I'll keep hold of you, Afifah! Once a guy hurts you, I won't hesitate to chop off his head!” cetus Dimas's.
