Tresno jalaran soko kulino
Old Javanese proverb, which means 'Love comes from habituation.
Maybe this is what Aish is feeling. The intensity of her encounter with Richard after they officially dated had grown a sizable tree of love in her heart.
He knows this is wrong. Indeed a mistake will be easier to make, and Aish has gone too deep on that mistake. This is called monkey love.
Since Sunday morning, where Richard had gone without saying goodbye to him, two days had passed. Richard didn't give any news. Makes Aish feel lonely, though every day Falen, Hendra and Seno take turns visiting him.
Now that Richard's third day had not given word, Aish began to resign. Perhaps the love Richard had told her was just pseudo. In fact they are different, their caste is too far away.
Aish will try to be reasonable, accepting Richard's departure, like he had to give up his mother.
That afternoon, the traffic was smoothly unhindered as Aish left for work. With his blue matic motor, he traversed the highway leisurely. He deliberately left early, wanting to enjoy the atmosphere of the highway.
Aish stopped his bike in front of a cafe that has been visited by many young people lately. He said the cafe has an instagramable photo spot, with a contemporary menu.
Whether there is any wind, it is not usual for Aish to visit a place like this. But his footsteps seemed to lead him inside.
Waitaminute! Isn't that Richard's car? Parked in parallel with the other car. Actually it's not Richard who was the goal here, all pure curiosity only.
With a worried step, Aish entered the cafe area. Inside it feels different. Comfortable, like that's the right word to describe it. It looks classic, but it also looks modern.
Aish dizzy looking inside, her footsteps inviting her more and more inside. There's a different room there, it seems more privacy. Because there is a bulkhead on each set of tables and chairs, although it can still see everyone sitting in it.
"So looking for someone, brother?" ask a waitress who sees Aish like a confused person.
"Oh, um... Yes, I am looking for a friend. A moment I called first, I was trying to find but it still seems not to come" said Aish looking for an excuse.
"Okay, then excuse me" said the waitress saying goodbye, making Aish feel relieved.
Aish is back, she's just gonna get out of here. Soon it was time for him to work.
Hey wait, there's Richard. He sits on the left. He is unaware of Aish's existence because of her back. And she's hugging Emily? Didn't Richard say Emily was dating Yopi? So why are they hugging?
Aish was still in his place because he was busy with his own thoughts. Emily realizes that Aish is looking at the two of them, and she seems to be telling Richard that Aish is there.
Seen quick movements from Richard, it seems the guy was shocked by Emily's words. He immediately stood up and looked at Aish who was sculpting.
Actually Aish was not sad about the situation, maybe more precisely he was disappointed. Richard couldn't believe it.
Aish speeds up, walks out of the cafe, then hides among the parked cars when she finds out that Richard is after her. Aish doesn't want to fight with Richard this time, he still has to work.
It was not difficult for the petite Aish to hide himself. Easily, he can get to where his bike is parked. He put on a helmet and started the bike. Richard is late, he sees Aish who has left on his blue bike. Instantly make him kick hard on one of the parked cars to sound the alarm.
"Why boss?" ask the parking attendant there.
"It's okay" Richard replied frustratedly, he immediately headed to his car and tried to chase after Aish. But unfortunately, Richard did not find his whereabouts. He forgot not to ask about his workplace.
Richard pulled his car over, he hit the steering wheel hard and shouted. "Aahhhhhhhhhh... Shit".
While Aish himself has arrived at the security guard post. As much as she could control her feelings, she greeted the other security with a sweet smile as usual.
Many times Richard tried to call Aish today, but of course his call was always rejected. Even the number he's blocked now.
Just this time he was working in a mood that was not okay. Makes time feel slow.
"No" he answered briefly.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that you asked Aish here either" Emily said.
"Gue didn't ask him to come. Damn, even now my number is blocked with him" said Richard, who is still trying to contact Aish.
"Lo's patient, I'm really sorry Richard" Emily said.
"It looks like I have to go to his house right now" Richard said.
"Don't, I mean not now. He must still be angry. Going out tomorrow you meet him if you have a bit of a break in his emotions" Emily said, and it was agreed by Richard.
The next day, it was still early in the morning that Richard was in front of Aish's house. But many times he knocked on the door, the girl did not want to open it.
Actually Richard knew that Aish was in his house, because his sandals and shoes were still neatly stored on the shoe rack on the porch of his house, and there were flip-flops lying carelessly.
"Surely he is still angry, he does not want to see me" said Richard Iirih, he condemned his own stupidity.
It's true that Aish is in her house, she still has no intention of seeing Richard. He was afraid that he would believe again with the boy's words. This kind of experience he just got, and of course he still does not know how to handle it. So, it was better to let Richard go if he was tired of waiting.
"Feel you Richard's a liar. Please wait for me until the hour, I will not open the door for you. Now mendingan I eat, dealing with the same you make me feel hungry" said Aish grunt.
Aish felt completely confined to her own home all day. Richard was waiting for him to come out. But luckily, after the dhuhur he got a call, and he left after. Aish felt free, because soon she was going to work.
But, unbeknownst to Aish, Richard accidentally follows behind as Aish leaves for work. Since Aish was always positive, she never thought that Richard would do that.

"Lo still doesn't dare to meet him?" reno asked while giving Richard a cold softdrink.
"Not yet" replied Richard briefly and drank a soft drink given by Reno.
"Lo is afraid what the hell? Samperin, blahin, it's clear. What else are you waiting for?" ask Reno.
