The house bell rang. Anna, who was carrying her 8-month-old son, hurriedly approached the door.
“Iya, briefly!”
The big door opened and saw Abrisam with his suitcase. This man looks tired because it is too long on the trip.
“Sam!” exclaim Anna smiled widely, “you're very fast to go home?”
Sam did not answer. He took Anna's hand and kissed her on the back.
“Sam tired, Ma. Tomorrow is the story.” This young man dragged his suitcase into the mansion he had left behind for several days.
When passing through the central room Abrisam cross paths with Tomi, Siska and Yasmin who are gathering.
Tomi was a little surprised at the arrival of her son, “Sam, you came back so quickly? He said he'd like to be there for 2 weeks?”
“No, Pi. Sam changed his mind.” This boy dangles a smile, “Sam rest first yes.”
“Abang souvenirs for Yasmin no?” chirp Yasmin among the confusion of her parents.
“Sorry yes, Deck. Brother does not bring souvenirs.” After answering the sister's question. Abrisam lifted his suitcase up the stairs to his room.
“Yeah, whereas at that time Brother said he would bring souvenirs for Yasmin,” complained Yasmin and his face changed softly.
“Maybe, brother is too busy dear. So, do not have time to buy souvenirs for Yasmin.” Siska rubbed her daughter's back.
“It looks like Sam again has a problem, Mas.” Anna, who was already in the same room, spoke to her husband.
Tomi who noticed her son nodded, “I think so too. Sam when leaving is very different from Sam who has returned to this house.”
“Maybe there is a problem with Dira, Mas.”
Anna and Tomi turned to Siska. They also thought the same as this hijab-wearing woman.

From inside the cake shop Sam was pensively watching the passing vehicles. His hands did not stop stirring the cold drink whose ice had already melted.
“Why are you going home so fast?” Winda came with a tray containing cake ordered by Sam. The woman put the red velvet cake in front of her son's girlfriend, “you have any problems there?”
This middle-aged woman pulled the chair in front of the boy. Then sit down. Some questions he threw ‘kan back.
“What problems until you decide to quickly go home?”
Abrasam looked at the Winda before him.
“There is a slight problem, Te.”
“What is it? Tell me about Auntie!”
“Yesterday Sam was forced to beat up a boy friend, Dira.” Winda who heard gnashing his face, “he is not polite with Dira. When he suddenly nyium Dira, Te? Sam whose girlfriend never.”
“Segit?” the man nodded, “then Dira was angry with the park?”
Sam shook his head, “he was angry with Sam. Because he beat up his friend. No abis think the same Dira lived 2 years there already changed the way the association.”
“You are patient. Aunty will try to help rebuke him. Then how do you react when you want to go home?”
Sam lowered his hand which was holding the glass. “Dira had apologized to Sam and also forbid Sam to go home, but Sam still decided to go from there.”
“Sorry Sam, Aunt's daughter has let you down.”
However, Vinda did not feel well with Abrisam and his family. What's more all the effort that Winda gets now is the gift of Tomi, Abrisam's real father.
The young man smiled, “Tante doesn't need to apologize. Sam and Dira also made up. Only Sam still needs time to not be disturbed Dira.”
Winda breathed a heavy breath. How else, Sam has made his decision. All she can do is pray for them to stay together.
Winda used to be less fond of Sam. He looks naughty and arrogant. However, different from now. The Sam he knew had changed for the better. He feels very suitable to be his daughter's partner.
“Wei, Bro!” suddenly Dimas who just came into the store said hello to Abrisam, “where is the holiday? My sister was there how she was. Want to dong you guys?”
Sam let his shoulder be embraced by Dimas. He was confused which one to answer first.
“Lo just one-one dong, Kak.” Dimas laughed softly at Sam's protest.
“Tante stay first yes, Sam.” Winda stood up and took his napan that was on the table.
“Ma, make a drink dong,” said Dimas occupied the seat of his former mother.
“Bikin by yourself! Mama still fussing behind.” Winda pointed at visitor, “see! Many people.”
Dimas looked around the mother's small cake shop. Then Winda stepped away.
“Nih, have a drink first got me.” Sam shifted his glass to the front of Dimas.
“Nevent gone.” Dimas returned the glass to Sam, “to where was it? Come story dong!”
“Dira in Australi good, Brother. He is healthy and his hair is getting longer. Sweeter now.”
“Cielah, I'm sure you guys are there dating aja it works ‘kan?” Sam didn't answer the man, but laughed.
“Continue traveling where are my sisters?” Dimas rests his back on the back of the chair.
That second, Dimas sat up straight again. Close his stomach to the edge of the table.
“What are you doing walking to the police station?"
Sam smiled wryly as he ate his piece of cake. He chewed the cake before answering his girlfriend's question.
Then Sam explained what he had previously explained to Vinda. Dimas was surprised to hear that. Her sweet sister changed that fast.
“Lo patient, Bro.” Dimas patted a few times Sam's arm, “adik I was in love with you. He can't pick another guy. I guarantee.”
Sam nodded. The phone in the pocket of this young man's pants shook. He quickly pulled it out and checked the short message that came in. After struggling with his phone, Sam stood up, then saved the phone back.
“Gue go first yes, Kak.” Sam took out a hundred bills from his wallet.
Dimas looked up at the young man. “mau where are you going? New chat dikit.”
“There is a promise with friends. I haven't seen them in a long time.” Sam put his money on the table, “titip for Aunt Winda.”
“Halah, just did not meet a few days doang you guys. I didn't see you for a month.”
Sam smiled, “Tante, Sam alone!” the man's shout made other visitors look at him.
He patted Dimas's shoulder twice, then stepped out of the shop.

Adira walks quickly through the city park. His eyes swept across the park in search of the figure he wanted to meet.
This girl's black iris stopped in the direction of the fountain that became the center point of the park. He walked there immediately.
“Gabriel!”
The young man who was sitting by the pool and playing with the little boy, turned his head. He stood up to see the person he was waiting for had arrived.
“Hi Adira! What is it you want to meet me?”
The wounds and bruises on the man's face seemed to have faded. Because of the incident a few days ago Dira and Gabriel just met again. This girl wanted to ask the reason Gabriel suddenly kissed her.
“Someone I want to talk about. We find a seat.”
“Oh yes, come!”
The young man walked first towards the chair not far away. Adira followed him without saying much.
“What do you want to talk to?”
Dira took a deep breath before starting everything. He who was sitting next to the man tried to look at him.
“Why did you kiss me in the library?”
Gabriel looked surprised when he found out this question of his classmate. He also seemed nervous and misbehaved.
“Why? Let's answer!”
“You really want to know the answer?”
“I came here indeed to know that.”
“I love you.”
The answer is indeed short, only three words, but managed to make Adira sculpt.
“The reason of all that is because I love you.” Gabriel sat down. He held both hands Dira, “I don't want you to leave this city.”
Adira pulled her clasped hand. He looked at the fountain pool. It's still like a dream it feels like all this.
“I've got a lover, El. You shouldn't like me!” Adira sighed, “I think our friendship is pure. You have disappointed me.”
Gabriel shifted his seat closer to Adira. “forgive me, this feeling just came. I was so jealous when Sam was here. I thought it could drive him out of this place.”
The girl turned her head and looked at this bule guy while shaking her head, looking incredulous at Gabriel's thoughts and actions.
“You managed to make him leave and also angry with me. I regret defending you too much. Because of that incident Sam was angry with me.”
“I'm sorry, Dira!”
Dira shifts her seat, “already, I don't want to see you again. Before you get rid of that feeling.”
“Adira don't be!”
Dira stood up, held onto the sling rope of his bag, then stared ahead.
“I go home first.”
Gabriel stood up. Look at Dira who is preparing to leave.
“Adira!” gabriel's screams don't concern this girl. He continued walking outside the park.
