Kezia's car stopped in front of the gate. Arland got out of the car with a neat look. Apparently he came to deliver Kezia's car staying in the parking lot of his apartment.
“Mima, it's ongkle arland.” exclaimed Sean who was so excited. Kezia only smiled when he saw Arland coming after a while and sent him a message.
Arland walked towards the tavern greeting Eliana and kissed the back of her hand.
“How are you doing nak?” welcome Eliana kindly.
“Good aunt..” sahut Arland while smiling.
Eliana touched Arland's sturdy shoulder, in which she saw Arland's face that looked brighter unlike the last time they met. Still vividly remembered in the mind of Eliana when Arland who used to be so thin and dirty just a few moments after Kezia left. I don't think he wants to remember that dark time anymore.
“Tante seneng, see you grow into an adult male.” said Eliana with full seriousness. Looked at Eliana's teary eyes.
“Thank you aunt...” sahut Arland.
“Ongkle...” exclaimed Sean who immediately ran towards Arland.
“Hay hotshot, what are you doing?” take Sean tos.
“Sean help mima same oma keep shop. Come onkle sit here. ” Sean pulls Arland's hand and invites him to sit next to Kezia.
“Hay...” greet Arland while shuffling Kezia's hair.
Kezia smiled welcoming Arland.
“In the morning with the car, have you had breakfast?” Arland just shook his head. “You eat?” Kezia pointed towards the storefront.
“Gag do it, I want to take you on the road. Can ya?” tawar Arland's. Kezia.
“I take a shower first.”
“You haven't taken a shower, why are you beautiful?” the Arland God who managed to make Kezia's face blush.
“Gombal!” exclaim Kezia as it passes.
Smile on Arland's lips. He was very grateful Kezia could return to his usual attitude.
While waiting for Kezia to prepare, Arland chatted with Sean. They are getting closer and closer. Eliana also looks happy to see the closeness of Arland with her daughter.
Arland has been trying very hard with his life according to Eliana. Tucked away in the chest of Eliana, Arland will be a companion for the princess only wayangnya.
Looks Kezia out of his house is well dressed. She was wearing a light blue knee-length dress. His black hair was allowed to unravel. White shoes cover his feet.
Arland was amazed to see his lover who looked so beautiful. After asking Eliana for permission, Arland and Kezia left immediately.
Arland sat behind the wheel while Kezia sat beside him. The car drove across the streets that looked crowded because of the weekend. People pass around them. Arland steered the car to his cafe and parked the car neatly.

“Eemm, so this is why you haven't had breakfast?” asked Kezia while smiling.
Arland nodded.
He brought his body closer to Kezia. Kezia looked so tense because of the distance Arland's face was so close to his face. Always, Arland managed to make his heart jump. Kezia closed his eyes as Arland directed his hands around Kezia's stomach and..
“Click!” Arland took off the seat belt that encircled Kezia's body.
“You why, gag want to go down?” arland said with a smile of anxiety at Kezia's behavior.
Kezia immediately opened her eyes and saw Arland who was poking her lips holding a smile. “Yes I want to go down, it was you who ngalangin.” kilah Kezia wrong behavior because of Arland.
“PPffttt...” Arland can no longer hold back his laughter.
“Come to drop gag?” exclaimed Kezia who immediately pulled the car door handle and opened the car door wide. He did not care about Arland who was still laughing at him.
Arland simply nodded with his hand still holding onto his tummy that was shaking from the stifled laughter.
Kezia came along with Arland. In the cafe is already crowded with cafe visitors who come for breakfast.
“Hay bro!” greet the cafe owner in Arland.
Kezia stood beside Arland.
“What are you ger?” Arland looks annoyed because Gery glances at Kezia.
“Ahahahha sory, next to which you make me glare.” gery cetus while chuckling.
Kezia turned his face pretending not to hear.
“Sialan. Make me a regular breakfast kayak yes.” pinta Arland while shaking Gery's hand.
The breakfast menu arrived shortly. Arland's favorite complete chicken porridge. Arland's eyes sparkled, He immediately mixed soy sauce and pepper powder over his porridge. While Kezia prefers to eat porridge without stirring.
“Every day you have breakfast here?” asked Kezia who saw Arland so eager for breakfast.
“Sometimes. I love having breakfast in the apartment. It used to be SMA time there was a breakfast bring, but it was not anymore.” said Arland while staring at Kezia. Kezia only fell silent while remembering when he brought supplies for Arland. It's been a long time but it feels like it was just yesterday. “When will you make me breakfast again?”
“Later yes, one day,,” said Kezia while bribing the porridge already in his spoon.
“I became gag patiently waiting for that day.” Arland murmured a little heard by Kezia.
After breakfast, Arland took Kezia for a walk. They walked down the path to their garden of memories.
The atmosphere has changed a lot. The flowers are neatly arranged in every corner, there are tracks for cycling that surround the park there are even playgrounds for children although not too big. But something did not change, namely Kezia's favorite seat bench.
Kezia walked over there and sat down casually. In front of him was a small pond with clear water. The fish swim to and fro.
“Sherly said, this park is you are neat, very beautiful.” praise Kezia.
Kezia's eyes were fixed on the children who were running around cheerfully, making Kezia smile as well.
“Iyaa, I always hope, one day you will come home and I will apologize in this place.” Arland looked at the face of Kezia sitting beside him. Kezia turned and looked at Arland warmly. I think it's the one who should apologize. Kezia's hand then gripped it tightly. “I'm sorry I key, I should have gagged talking about things that make you sick.” Oozed Arland with a page gaze fixed on Kezia.
“Ya, I was so angry. But I always hope, there is a time to fix everything.”.
Arland pulled Kezia's body and embraced it from the side. Kezia rested his head on Arland's shoulder which had always been the most comfortable place for him to lean on.
“Other times, when we fight, just fight. You want to be angry, be angry but do not ever think that we have to separate, because it makes me live without life.” I am Arland with the truth. Before deciding to meet Kezia in Germany, it felt like Arland's life was not bad. He just wanted to spill all his anger no matter who it was aimed at. As a result, he became a brutal man.
Kezia looked up at Arland. Slowly Arland kissed Kezia's forehead gently. They really enjoyed this time. The time where there were only the two of them with a subtle sigh that was trailing his veins. It felt like there was a butterfly flapping its wings on Kezia's stomach, making her chest pound very tight.
There is no feeling that he needs to deny let alone deny, because obviously only with Arland was the atmosphere created.

“Kak denaa, wake up... Said he wanted to go to the city center, why is he still sleeping?” one of the children called Dena repeatedly from outside her room. Dena squirmed small as the voice felt too disturbing
“Iiissh what the hell, people are still sleepy too.” Dena covered both her ears with a pillow.
“Kakkkk, already want at 8 tauuu, bad luck llohhh...” again the boy shouted louder. Dena put down her pillow and slowly her eyes began to open.
“Gosh! I'm going to the editor's office!” exclaimed Dena who just remembered her promise today. “Aahhh shit, I want 8 more!”
Dena immediately picked up a towel and took a quick shower. It wasn't until five minutes that he was out again. He grabbed a neat clothes stel and combed his hair with just anyone. The powder is sprinkled just like that with a lipstick that polishes the thin lips. He took a dark plastic map containing several short story titles that had been printed from last night. Do not forget the sling bag is also the phone. He left the room immediately.
“Why gag wake me up anyway!” snorting Dena while grabbing bread at the dinner table.
“Apaanya gag woke up, my throat almost broke calling sister dena.” protested the child.
“Ya I'm leaving!” he said while wearing shoes with his 3 cm heels.
“Na, breakfast first correct.” call Nia.
“Udah bad luck bun, bye!!” yelled Dena who immediately ran.
Nia just shook her head looking at her biggest daughter. Although he was no longer a child, sometimes his behavior exceeded the behavior of his younger siblings.
Today Dena is going to the magazine office for an interview about some of the short stories she has written. Dena can only go to school until high school, during this time he spent writing short stories or novels. And today he got a call for an interview as a writer staying in the children's short story column. But because last night he just finished printing his short story, finally he can just sleep in the morning and the results are like now, he misfortune.
Dena stood in front of the parlour waiting for the passing angkot. He continued to watch the watch curled in his left hand. But for up to 5 minutes standing there was not a single angkot passing. Finally, he decided to walk for a while and then take the bus.
“Aduuhh very unlucky anyway today.” snorted Dena while continuing to walk.
Before long a bus passed by and Dena immediately waved her hand. He chose a seat next to the window. The bus was slow because he was no longer young. Dena stomped her feet impatiently.
The bus stops at one of the stops. After handing over the money, Dena immediately went down. Just next to his foot stepped on the sidewalk, suddenly a man ran and hit Dena until Dena fell. Dena just realized the man took her bag.
“COPEETTTT!!! Please, I'm on copeettt!!” shout Dena.
Some people ran after the pickpocket. Because it was surrounded, the pickpocket stopped. He looked panicked. Dena immediately ran over with limping steps due to her aching leg.
“Awas lo, if anyone dared to decapitate, I prick!” threaten the thug while brandishing a knife.
“Bang please turn over my bag bang. It's just my treasure, do not take.” whine Dena.
“Bodo. Beware of you if you are deket-deket!” threaten the man while trying to escape.
