Puspita laughs while making a video call with Panji, and Bagas. Because his loud laughter made Galih enter his room when he knew the wife did not also come out of the room.

" Dad....!!! " Sapa Bagas when he saw his father behind Puspita.

" Ho... honey how are you? " Sapa Galih hugging Puspita's body from behind.

" Good Dad, Bagas kangen Daddy. "

" Patience dear, later if there is time off again Father Go home. "

After a long joking video call, Puspita put down her phone. Galih immediately kissed the nape of Puspita's neck, with both hands already attached to his favorite place.

" Yes. yah. sana akh... "

" Why the hell Yank? "

" Scent...!! "

Galih smelled both armpits, but did not feel the smell, only the smell of Puspita's favorite masculine perfume.

" It smells like your favorite perfume."

" Sana mas, suddenly you come here smelly. Hoek... " Puspita also closes the nose and a little nausea.

" Weird..!! " Say Galih while leaving Puspita.

" Surely, you stink of tofu. "

Galih sat on the front porch of his house, seen Gladis coming out of Mr. Willy's house, then walked towards Galih who was playing his phone.

" Where is your wife? " Task Gladis while sitting next to Galih.

" It's inside." Said Galih while playing his phone.

" When you sit like this, remember first while staring at the stars in the sky, if there are shooting stars always make requests."

" Tell me, don't start remembering what you used to."

" Are you really angry? "

" Not to mention, I'm angry. "

" Forgetting over me, I can never forget the one thing that will always be there for a lifetime. "

" It's up, if Mau is close to me back as a friend and brother is not a girlfriend, because we're ex."

" The most beautiful ex. " Say Gladis left Galih who was staring at him annoyed.
