Resha runs, leaving Reyhan. The presence of the man always managed to ravage his heart. The old wounds that he tried to bury deep came out with the drizzling weeping that fell.
Spontaneously the tears were dripping, wetting the cheeks continuously.
He stopped at the end of the garden, in a chair under a tree then covered his face with both hands, lowered his head and sobbed.
Can't destiny let him be calm, happy without people in the past who have incised wounds. Wounds that make him without consideration decided to marry Anton. And now, Anton's departure, all the anger of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law made him inexhaustible. Until when will fate continue to play tricks on him?
Let me feel what is happy, what is loved, what is special...
Allow me to feel the peace of life for a moment, allow me to enjoy my own happiness, let me choose...
God, can't I live any better?

"Even if you cry, she will never come back to wipe away your tears."
Darren's words at the funeral made him stop and reflect.
"Remove your tears with this" Darren said as he thrust his handkerchief toward Resha.
However, not stopping now Resha is getting sobbing harder.
Darren is a drunk, he just this time faced a complicated woman. No, not a complicated woman but a complicated romance and she's in between. Darren sat down by Resha's side, gently rubbing his trembling shoulders with sobs. His heart melted and somehow he could feel the pain that Resha felt.
"There I am," Darren cursed his mouth which said spontaneously, wanting once more to draw those words.
"Res, I've." And it seems like Resha has started to realize the circumstances where Darren is at her side.
"I'm sorry" said Resha, feeling guilty. Darren nodded, not at all forcing Resha to immediately step out of the circle of the past. After all, this was already part of destiny.
"Gosh, we gotta get to the supermarket. The ingredients in the fridge are out, Derr." Resha realized something and immediately stood up, pulling immediately Darren's hand as they had to shop.
"Yes, let's go to the mall."
"At the mall? Where possible? It's expensive." Resha protested, Darren just pulled down his eyebrows.
"No problem, because I'm looking for something."

The two go hand in hand, until unknowingly their fingers are linked to each other while walking towards the parking lot where Darren's car is located.
"Please, Miss!" Darren opened the door despite looking stiff, his thin smile looking very sweet.
"Thank you, Derr!"
Gradually Darren's right attitude made him very comfortable.
"Derr," Resha ventured.
"Yes, honey." Making it again and again red just because Darren called him with a word of affection.

There are many things about the past that can be a lesson, about who am I? About what my status is? Enough I know myself, or about how we accept every thing that is not our desire, becomes your choice one of them.
No matter, how the porcelain of the heart.
"Res, look at this. Nice no?" point Darren at the heart-lined necklace with a small diamond in the middle.
Resha's closing in, "what for, Derr?"
"For my beloved," answered Darren who was able to look into Resha's heart, and somehow there was a sudden sense of crampedness and dominating pain.
"Oh, great. Whatever your choice is good."
"Derr when do we shop for materials?" resha asked after they left the jewelry booth. Darren bought a set for Resha. However, what Resha has in mind is that Darren has a real lover, after all he is not possible because Resha is quite aware of the condition and position.
"Are we going to the market now?" darren. They also bought some groceries during Darren's stay, Resha was lucky there were savings that he lived in Bandung.
"Let me pay" said Resha.
"Just me."
"Can't, Derr! That's me shopping."
"Res, don't childish. Let me, after all, you are my future wife" said Darren, full of pressure when calling the future wife.
"Wife candidate? am I gonna be happy just you say that word?"
"Res what do you mean?" ask Darren. Resha stared cynically, no matter how several pairs of eyes watched those arguing in the cashier queue area.
"Derr, stop the theatrics. I understand, I understand that you have a boyfriend. We can't keep going like this, I don't want things to get complicated."
Darren massaged his temple, "Your boyfriend said?"
"Yes,"
"Res, in this world besides my mama and Qween. You're the closest woman on the side. Do you still think I have a boyfriend, even if yes why do I bother here, why do I defend you in front of my in-laws and sister-in-law, what for?"

Resha was stunned, Darren's words were directly about the heart. Resha never thought that Darren would take himself seriously.
"I'm not the perfect woman, Derr!" Resha smiled bitterly. Many eyes were watching them until the moment Darren crouched down, making everyone around cheering.
"I know, aren't there perfect people in this world? so will you, complete my defective side and accompany me to old age?" tanya Darren clasped Resha's fingers with hopeful eyes.
"Accept.. Accept it... Thank.." the shout echoed, Darren forgot if they were currently in line to pay for shopping at the maeket mall.
"Sorry everyone, it's troubling." Darren clenched his hands towards all of them and bowed politely, then pulled Resha san immediately to pay and left immediately from the place.
Hosh... Their breaths hunted and then chuckled together when they reached the parking lot.
"So it's welcome, mas?" the words of someone who had just passed by beside them, and managed to lure back the laughter of the two.
"aiyaa, hehe."
They got into the car and then drove home.
On the way they were silent with their own thoughts, Resha who blushed because of Darren's behavior and vice versa. Darren never expected, if would do such a ridiculous thing for Resha. Everything that happens is spontaneous and out of control. It was as if his heart was just moved with instinct.
Darren's eyebrows wrinkled when he saw a very familiar car in front of Resha's house.
"Isn't that Dad's car, why is it here?" inward Darren wonders, especially Resha's house looks open the door makes Darren think.
"There's a guest like him, Derr!" reshanyang said he had not realized that in front of them was Darren's parents' car.
"But who is it?" Resha was wondering and curious.
"We go down, then," Darren asked, bringing along some groceries.
Elin was visibly riled up, repeatedly turning to the door waiting for Resha and Darren to arrive.
"I'm sorry, sir. But they actually came out."
"It's okay, jeng. We can wait."
Elin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the roar of the car stop.
"They've come, ma'am."
