"You guys coming?" Vania approached her best friend who showed up that afternoon. Exactly a few hours after the hawker spot opened.

"Sorry, late. Always wait for the kids' papa first." Alena is holding Alea.

"Hmm .. that's okay. I understand, housewife is so." The girl laughed.

"Hu'um, .. want to go first can not, but he was long. Must finish the job." Alena explained.

"Yes. Is it ordinary?" Vania responded.

"Sister Alya just tipped the greeting, can not come. Another concentration of stomach pains." Anna added.

"Would you want a baby?" Vania enthusiastic.

"Not yet, but it's starting to feel again."

"Oh, ..." Vania nodded, but then she fell silent after waiting for a while. The person he was waiting for did not show up.

"Where is Arya going?" he finally asked.

"Ah, I forgot. Today's brother has a job until night. He said later if he could stop by." replied Anna.

"Hm ..." Vania muttering.

"Where is the first day it opens?" The king and Hardi who appeared after him, holding the small hand of Dilan who directly scattered towards Vania.

"You're akelim!" the boy said, as usual, when he met him.

"OK, we'll take it" he said, to Dilan.

"No video?" King interrupts.

"Lumayan. Social media helps." Vania answered.

"Good indeed. If less is needed, we will help." King berujar.

"Thank you brother. But not first. Let's get used to it first, if it's too rame we're afraid we're even lost. Children are not used to it." declined Vania, she glanced at two employees who were serving several buyers

"Geez, until I forget. What do you want to eat? let's order first. I'll be ready." the girl led them to an empty seat on the other side.

"The more late afternoon the better?" Anna looked around. Looks like the area's visitors keep coming.

In addition to the stall owned by Vania, there are also several tenants who sell various kinds of typical food young people. Its srategis location in the middle of Bandung, also close to several famous campuses and as a local tourist destination does make it a destination for most young people to gather, especially on weekend nights.

"It's here in the afternoon." Vania is mingling with them.

"Open it until what time?" The king asked, he took a sip of his cold capucino.

"It's a normal day until 9, but if the weekend is until 12" replied Vania.

"Great night?"

"Long night, brother. That's fine." Vania with her signature grin.

"But, double eyes." King sneered.

"Logislah, everything needs money." said Vania. "No money no way of life." he chuckled.

"May ..." Anna agrees.

"Yes but not so many times as well? selling until the night? you're a girl." King berujar.

"Why indeed? it takes money not to know a man or a woman. Everyone needs. As long as there is a chance, why not?"

"Ish, .. Can you answer that?"

"Yes dong, ..many dependents because of it, .." said Vania.

"Eat him a piece of marriage, let your life there is a nanggung." said the King.

"Yeeee ... Why did he go there? I haven't thought."

"Many girls especially? you seem to be ready. Alena is his son already two." continued the King.

"No ah, .. and there's no candidate yet." the girl laughed as she closed her mouth.

"What does not work a lot .." continued the King.

"Yes Van, one of them is it." Hardi suddenly replied. He pointed his finger at the king. All of them were silent and looked at each other.

"He's also single, you fit in, .." he continued.

"Eee .. Hardi's brother joked." Vania laughed, which then followed the four people in front of her.

"The glimmer is outrageous, .." said the King who laughed as he sipped his cold drink.

"Hu'um, .." and then they laughed again.

***

"I can't help you yet, .." said Alena, as they were about to say goodbye.

"It's okay, it's not too late either." Vania drove him to the car, then handed him Alea who was almost asleep.

"Ja, you still want to be here?" Hardi shouted to the King when his friend had not yet moved from his seat.

"Gue is back again, ...

"Okay then." And the three men left.

"Sir King is relaxed?" Vania returns after believing Hardi's car has disappeared among other cars on the highway.

"Lumayan." replied the King who casually laid his back on the back of the chair.

"There's a buyer ..." Vania left it to serve the incoming buyers.

The man did not take his eyes off her, he instead noticed her every move. His friendly attitude to everyone, his body language, and smile also look on his face while speaking.

He is indeed fun, in addition to his work that makes him accustomed to often meet many people, also because his personality tends to be friendly and warm to anyone. The girl can even be very expressive when being with people close to her.

"Gue wants to be like you, but .. You want me to be the same?" The king murmured, his gaze still fixed on Vania. The man then chuckled.

I started to go crazy, inwardly, then rose up when Vania came back to her.

"Are you serious until midnight?" The king looked around who was starting to quiet down. He looked at his watch which had shown at ten in the night.

"Not really. If it is quiet, close it. Serem also if open until later." he dropped his bok*ng on the chair.

"Ciraine, ...

"Sister King didn't come home? it was night." Vania said, which made the man in front of her spout a loud laugh.

"You're like talking to a child" he said later.

"Yes, it's night." repeated Vania.

"Yes know, ... "

"Why don't you go home?"

"Ngeared?"

"No, not angry. Just ask." the girl laughed.

"No, I used to go home at night too. Even in the boarding is alone, there will be no one who nagged if not go home too." explained the King.

"Oh, ..." Vania nodded her head.

"You shut down now?" ask the King afterwards.

"Ng ..." The girl stared at the street, as if she was waiting for someone to appear there.

"Again waiting for someone?" The king caught the gelagat.

"Not really." Vania shook her head. "Yes, I'm clossing for a second, okay?" said.

"Do you want me to help you clean up?" The king offered himself.

Vania was stunned for a moment.

But the man, immediately did as he said before getting an answer from the owner of the place.

The king lifted a chair on the table, dipped it as he had seen the cafe clerk do, while Vania went inside the pantry, then checked several things with her two employees.

While Arya is still busy watching in her car across the street.

Arya stared at the still gray sky of Bandung. That morning he was ready with his clothes and shoes. A pair of earpieces stuck to his ears, playing the music he liked.

Then he began to run slowly out of his yard, towards the famous sports field in the city of Bandung. This was his first time doing so, after several years. His busyness in work makes him not eager to do anything but work itself.

It was nothing, the man always remembered his responsibility towards the little sister who was still left at home. He will soon marry a man of his choice.

Even until the girl was almost married, she was still eager to carry out her responsibilities as the head of the family. Support Anna to choose whatever the girl wants for her marriage. Just like Alya, and Alena of course.

The sun began to warm up, but the air still felt frozen. Seen from the steam that appeared every time the man exhaled. Vehicles that are not too crowded make the city streets look empty. In fact, it is dominated by the morning runners who are both heading to the Gasibu field like himself.

Arya stops as she passes through the area, intentionally and hoping she will find him there. Maybe this time alone without his sister-in-law's best friend like last night and the other day.

And there he is, who just got off his motor matic. Take off the helmet, and put it on the handlebar like visitors who have arrived to the city park.

"What's he doing this early in the morning?" he murmured, then looked around.

He thought for a moment, while feeling a thump in the chest that suddenly grew firmer than before.

"Ish, .. Why am I?" he pressed his chest hard.

Arya pulled and exhaled a few times, and finally decided to cross to that place.

"Did you?" Vania stopped on the doorstep as she was about to exit to shift the rolingdoor after putting her bag and jacket inside. Somewhat stunned to find the man standing looming in front of his stall.

"So early in the morning have you started selling?" Arya immediately asked.

"Prepar only. But if for example, someone has bought also better." he chuckles while shifting the rolling door to the side.

"Hm ...

"Anything to jog?" ask her later.

"No, you want to go fishing." replied Arya, then.

"Huh?"

"Why do you think I want to use training like this?" the man with his grit.

"Defr, ...

"You like weird." continued Arya, she also shifted the rollingdoor on the other side.

"It's doang, Bang. Is that angry?" gerutu Vania's.

Arya just flicked her shoulders with a flat face.

"Keep brother why stop by here? the sports are here, right?" Vaia tried asking again.

"About no? it's up to me dong, want to go to Gasibu cake, want here cake." replied Arya again without hesitation.

"Ish, .. it's getting to be more people." murmured Vania.

"You said something?" Ask Arya.

"No. Just ...

"What do you want to prepare? I'm helping the mumpung still here."

"Nothing, just finishing the same table as the doang chair anyway, who knows who would want to sit? stand still, is it pegel?" Vania half insinuated.

"Hmm .." the man sauntered toward the neatly lined tables and chairs, then lowered them as if they were to be used.

***

"This ..." Vania shifts the hot coffee and one small cup of sugar to the side of Arya who is sitting on the garden chair under the big kiara tree left in the garden.

"Do you want to exercise, do you want to drink coffee?" tanyanya.

"It seems like I've been lazy to exercise." replied Arya, staring at the coffee and Vania's face alternately.

"Capek yeah, 'cause you helped me?" both of her lips formed an arch of a smile, and the two corners of her eyes narrowed to make her look adorable.

Adorable? arya's heart whispered.

"Udah I said not to help me, but his brother maksa. I'm tired." said Vania.

"Where can I see women doing that alone? what kind of man do you think I am?" Arya answered.

"I'm ordinary. You forget, I help you out in the cafe a lot?" vania.

"Oh yeah, keep your mom how about you open your own business? who's gonna help?"

"In the cafe already many people, besides pity mom if I also work there, the income is reduced because I have to pay me too."

"Huh?"

"I'm also an employee there, ..."

"That's your parents, you know, the payday, too?"

"I didn't ask, but my mother did. Let's be like the others." replied Vania.

"Partially I've been lazy to come to the cafe, even make a sprain right." he continued.

"Why lazy?"

"His brother Dad has started to interfere, participate in chess, and participate in what to do in the cafe. In the past, when the cafe was not like now, no one wanted to come to help. Just mom and me." Vania explained.

Arya looked at him fixedly.

"Do you want more milk?" vania asked after they had been silent for quite a while.

"Huh, what?" Arya was flabbergasted at the girl's question.

"Coffee."

"The coffee?" he's parroting.

"Yes, coffee. Want to add some milk? is there a kang of pure milk passing by?" Vania pointed at a man pushing a small wheel ahead there.

"Pure milk?" Arya followed his words.

"Hu'um, .. if I want to buy it." the girl almost got up.

"No need, ..." Arya grabbed his hand and pulled him back to sit there.

Both of them were stunned, this was the first time they touched.

"Ng .." And the atmosphere turned awkward.

"Not bother. Uhm ..." Arya cleared her throat just to relax. "Coffee is enough for me" he said, reaching for his cup of coffee at the side, then sipping it little by little.

"Not using sugar, ..." Vania reminded.

"I don't like added sugar, ..." Arya chuckles.

"Why? isn't it bitter?" Vania asked.

"Why is that?" Arya tilted her head.

"Oh, .. I know why you don't like sugar?" the girl smiled.

"Why?" Arya asked back.

"Fear of sweetness, of diabetes." he laughed and closed his mouth. A silly thought had just flashed through his brain.

"Not .." Arya sergeant.

"It's right while looking at me too." continued the girl, then laughed out loud, making Arya again stunned. But the two corners of his lips formed a faint arc of smile.

"Kanda bang, don't be so serious about being people." Vania said as she stopped laughing.

"I'm .. used to it this way." explains Arya.

"Persis was like Alena when I first met her. But ...he changed too after hanging out with me. Maybe you need to hang out more."

"I don't have that much time." the man leaned his back.

"Because you want the brothers to work together?"

Arya did not answer.

"Now his brothers are adults, already in marriage, including Sister Anna soon. So maybe later you don't have to be that busy anymore."

Arya listen.

"It's time to take care of yourself" he continued.

Arya rolled her eyeballs, she knew this conversation was going to come down to nowhere.

"Huh, .. has started. You're like my sisters, who always talk about the same thing." the man got up.

"No, ...

"I want to continue jogging ..." Arya.

"Said it was a bad sport?" Vania followed the man with her eyes.

"I think, if the males will be disrupted my health." said Arya.

Vania throbbing.

Then Arya immediately left the place carrying the heart of her heart that kept pounding hard.

My heart is beginning to be disturbed, he murmured in his heart.
