The heart had already begun to feel calm for a moment when Sima looked at the sky tonight alone. However, after he returned to the room, he heard an unexpected sentence from Dendi.
“I've guessed Sima will sneak away.”
“Yes geez. Turns out you didn't sleep?”
“Hehe.”
Dendi hid something strange, that was what Sima felt. But whatever it is, Sima won't know without investigating or asking him directly.
“Dendi, may I ask you a minute?” ask Sima.
Dendi replied by covering her face with a blanket, “Maybe. Whatever it is.”
“Since when did you love me?” To the point will make things easier.
“Since I realized that Sima was paying attention to me.”
“My competition to take you is a lot. And you only know about me?”
“Iya, that's so. Because Sima is the woman I have been targeting for a long time,” said Dendi.
“What?” Curious about what Dendi was talking about, because he did not hear it clearly, Sima then removed the blanket from Dendi.
“Try to explain more details. And I didn't hear what you were talking about ..”
Dendi was not at all surprised, he actually showed a thin smile and grabbed Sima's face.
Whispering, “If I say later so not cool.”
“Hah? What?” Sima suddenly became confused. He did not know what Dendi was talking about, and now he was playing guesswork.
“Dendi, what do you mean? Don't joke at this time.”
“Later there will be time.”
After that Dendi again lay down to complete a long delayed sleep.
Sima grew anxious when she heard every sentence of Dendi that night. At all he could not think about his intentions and then fell silent with many questions.

The next morning, the weather was back to normal and an invitation had arrived. Time to check-out to get back to their homes. However, when he arrived at Sima's house, Dendi did not want to let go of his embrace and it made the whole house so awkward.
Including the children who stayed at Sima's house today.
“Wah, wow, are they now a couple?” gura asked, presumably he was amazed because of the development of the relationship between the two of them.
“Ti-no! Where's there!”
“Yes, we both have expressed each other's feelings then that means we are both ahead of the next relationship.”
“Dendi!”
Sima really did not know if there was anything wrong with Dendi until her speech changed. Even Gura et al also surprised because of the drastic changes Dendi. Then Gura felt suspicious, he then glanced at his boss.
Sima shook her head as a gesture that said, “I don't know anything.”
The whole house is awkward. Not with Dendi.
“Dendi, why don't you just go home? There's him who'll drive you, but sorry because I couldn't drive you myself.”
“Sorry, Sima.”
Everyone was again astonished by the way Dendi summoned Sima today. Who usually calls Mbak now just his name, anyone will be surprised to hear it.
“Dendi, okay. Our relationship continues. Are you happy?” Sima finally decided to give up.
“Serious?” ask Dendi in disbelief.
“Yes. I'm serious, Dendi. So ...can you please let go of this hug? There are many people here,” pinta Sima with a reddened face.
“Ah, I'm sorry Ma'am! I mean Sima!”
Dendi took off her embrace and she rushed away from there. Not forgetting he said goodbye to Sima by holding his hand for a while.
***
Unexpected events have happened. Sima and Dendi's relationship continues but with Sima's strange feelings. Sima admitted that he liked Dendi very much, he had hoped several times but when Dendi received it, he became doubtful.
And the cause is none other than because of the past that was revealed, his memory returned even though there was not the slightest change seen from Sima when he was conscious at that time. The second reason is Dendi. Dendi behaved strangely and Sima was confused by it.
Men who are usually innocent, jovial and shy, now drastically changed into a romantic person, sometimes aggressive and also blunt.
Until now, Dendi had always wanted to meet Sima and there were a few words she had said that sounded a little strange and awkward.
'Stares change. When he kissed me he did too, ' Sima's inner self touched his tight lips.
He is currently sitting in a park with Dendi. And because Sima was daydreaming, he was not aware that he was being noticed by Dendi more closely. Even deliberately kept silent until Sima was completely aware of his daydream.
“Dendi!” Surprised, Sima reflex stood up from her seat.
“Finally conscious too. What's up this time?” asked Dendi who seemed to know that Sima was thinking about her problem.
“Hm, no. I was just thinking why can you change so drastically like this?” Curious, he deliberately asked her so to see how she was expressing him.
“I changed because of Sima. Sima changed me, and I will never forget it,” said Dendi.
Sima once again felt strange. His words this time sounded like he was insinuating Sima about something.
Sima then said it with a little laugh, “Haha, so 'is?”
3 Days passed, their relationship looked fine. Then, Papuana residence has been burned, the act of the incident is none other than Sima himself.
“Sima? Why is your house on fire?” asked Dendi who was currently standing in front of the open gate.
“I did it because I wanted.” Sima answered and turned her back from the house.
“Oh, so it seems.” Not sad or asking the real reason. Dendi just silently smiled behind Sima's back that was getting away.
The meaning of his smile is still uncertain what it really is.
All subordinates who have been considered as their own family finally live in a house that is quite spacious. It was the home of her late mother before her marriage to Sukma, Sima's father. Which also means Erik's alharhum house.
“You sure no problem?”
“You have all agreed to me for a long time, and of course I have to make preparations. The house is already very dirty so I hope you can stay here comfortably,” Sima said while commenting on her smile.
“Good. Are you going to go?” ask Gura.
“Ya, with Dendi. Please drop the two children again yes, Gura,” Sima said.
“Alright, Miss Sima. Please be careful on the road,” said Gura with his head bowed.
The reason Sima burned it is none other than clearing the name Papuana with a different meaning that is to abolish. His father might be surprised, but that was the reaction Sima wanted.
“By reminding my father of the events of that day. The fire was a blatant incident. Take it well, remember it's good Dad,” murmured softly.
Now, whether you realize it or not. Sima had walked on the hot asphalt like a spark in hell so it meant that he had blown fire in the heart that had long been buried by this hatred.
