Dion PoV's

"Ma, Dion, say goodbye first, yes," I said as the wall clock in your living room showed at 19:30 WIB.

"Eat first, Mama's ready, come on!" pinta Mom.

I did not immediately go to the dining room, instead staring at your face that was asleep on the sofa of the family room.

"Rest, dear," I said, confirming the beach cloth, which you used as a blanket.

Afterwards, I rushed to the dining room. Mama and Kristy were waiting for me, to eat a variety of dishes, which Mama deliberately cooked for dinner this time.

"Come, eat first, it's time for dinner" Mama was about to get some rice, but I refused.

"Let Dion take it for himself, Ma," I refused.

"Alright, don't be shy. This is also your home" Mama reminded.

I smile. Kristy who had noticed my smile that never faded, so also commented on the smile.

"Mas Dion, when's the taxes?" kristy hatch.

"You, nguping?" investigate later.

"I'm not intentionally horrified, Mom," Kristy replied with a suspicious smile.

Mama smiled, "Try to explain to Mama, is there something you missed today?"

"Mbak Rosa nerima love Mas Dion, Ma," Kristy replied.

"Congratulations, yes, son! Finally, Mama's stubborn daughter, was devastated as well" Mama patted me on the shoulder.

I look shy. A happy smile mixed with a red hue on my cheek, completely revealing my flowering mood. It doesn't seem like an exaggeration, considering how I struggled to grab your attention.

"Dion will take care of Rosa, Ma. Don't worry," I promise.

"Mama, I'm tired of hearing your promise, that's," Mama joked.

Sure enough, all this time, I always convinced Mama, to give me a chance to always take care of you, even though you always refused me. I never give up on your heart, and all that Mama knows.

"Ma, what time was last night, huh, Rosa moved the room?" I asked while chewing my fried rice.

Um, did you forget?" ask Mama.

I closed my eyes, twisting my memories to get to the hallway last night. Dark, nothing is depicted.

"Mak Rosa is carried with her Mas Dion, so sweet" said Kristy.

"Most of the Korean dramas are boys, the minds are ngaco," I said, snapping at Kristy's head.

"Right, what Kristy said," Mama chimed in.

"Times, anyway, Ma?" I can't believe it.

"Yes, I'm the one who moved you into the room" Dion said suddenly.

Don't ask me why I know, if that's Dion's voice for the last 10 years, his voice has infiltrated every cell of my body. Until I realized, I knew him so well. Before he let out his words, even I could confirm if it was his voice.

"Mas Dion, early in the morning was handsome," said Kristy.

"Yes, dong, who was the old man" Dion replied with a smile.

"Ma, why is he here, mulu, anyway?" grumbling.

"Lhaaa, she's not your boyfriend, I asked Mama, instead" Mama was acting like a bitch.

"Who said that, early in the morning 'slander, '" I said with an angry mimic.

"Well, Rosa's like amnesia. Who was crying yesterday in the living room?" Kristy unpacked the facts.

"Hey, you all suck. Rosa left, "I kissed Mama's hand and left the dinner table.

"Why follow me?" I suddenly stopped, deliberately to make Dion startled because he was walking behind me.

"I'll take you, I'll drive you" Dion replied casually.

"No, I can go alone!" reject me.

"My girlfriend sniffed again, mending you upset again, can be sweet," teased Dion while holding me in his car.

Me, ketus again?

Yeah, that's how I've been doing all this time with Dion, the guy I haven't even dated in 24 hours.

No way, I immediately act sweet-sweet spoiled like ABG just fell in love. The shadow made me shudder.

"With your anterine, I'm leaving" replied Dion.

"Don't ask me, don't go again! I was only a week, really, at Eyang's house," she asked to tease me.

"Who also, forbid you to go. I was happy, instead" I teased him back.

"Don't be naughty, you've forgotten how much heartbreak hurts?" Dion smiled mischievously.

"Slightly naughty, won't hurt. Kan, ada, you," I said sulking.

"I only tolerate Rud, after which I don't get into my responsibility" Dion stares straight at the street.

"You, you're my place back," I sulked as I grabbed his left arm.

"Why then, remember me as your place back?" Dion pouting.

"Di" call me affectionate with my sweetest smile.

"Don't whine to play with fire, I'm your only man!" firmly Dion.

I just smiled looking at Dion's expression. Turns out, being possessive of it, is sometimes fun. I'm enjoying your jealousy, my new boyfriend. Aah .. why am I so drunk. Am I really in love with her?

"Do you want to come with me to Yogya?" Dion looked at me.

"Son" I replied firmly.

"Then, come down! It's up to your office" said Dion.

I looked out of the car. Right, this is in front of my office. It felt like I just got in the car, you know, it's arrived.

"Me, get down first! Don't be naughty in Yogya" I said.

"You, who shouldn't be naughty," replied Dion while kissing my forehead.

"Da .. da .. my new boyfriend" I said with a smile.

I noticed a red hue on Dion's face. My new boyfriend, seems surprised by my sweet attitude this morning. If my ketus alone, can make Dion crazy about me, it's natural that a drop of my sweet attitude, already able to make it wrong.

******

I've been sitting in my big chair, the chair I've left a few days.

"I miss, spend my time here" I murmured.

"I miss you too" said Maya from the table next to me.

"Job ... work ..., later the kangen," said Mas Rendra who passed behind me.

"Don't go to Yogya, Mommy?" I asked Mas Rendra.

"Ngapain," he asked.

"Dion is going to Yogya, I think Mas Rendra is coming too" I explained.

"Tumben, pay attention to Dion's schedule" said Mas Rendra.

"Yes, tumben," I answered finishing the conversation.

Cring-kring-kring!

The phone rang on my desk, making my eyes take my eyes off my laptop.

"Well, sir," I said opening and closing the conversation.

Phone from the manager's office.

The deg!

Mr Rud?

Oh yeah, I forgot!

I forgot that he had knocked himself out, not only from my side, but also from the manager's room in my office.

Is there a new manager?

I hesitated to stand up.

"May, is there a new manager?" my search.

"You, you don't know yet? I haven't told you, have I?" Maya remembers.

I nodded, "Yes, I went to the room first."

I took a breath of my lingerie. It was heavy to decide to enter that space. The room, which holds many happy stories between me and Mas Rud, is the shortest man to have ever stayed in my heart, but also carries a happy story as a memory and a pain as a sad parting gift.
