Meanwhile, the music of the Beatles accompanied Vino's journey home from the hospital. Their shadows hugged so warmly made his mind suspect something they were intentionally hiding.
But they might dare to lie. Vino furrowed his brows. Wait and see. That's what he's gonna try to do now. Vino is driving his vehicle at a speed that is breaking through the streets of the capital city that is still crowded smoothly.
Vino enters the parking lot of a fine restaurant. Today he had an appointment to meet someone there.
His gaze circulated looking for someone inside the slightly quiet restaurant. Until it stopped on the figure of a young woman who turned her back. The woman was wearing a beautiful knee-length dress of light blue, with long hair beautifully cropped. He was enjoying a glass of lemon tea on his desk.
" Sorry too late. " Vino pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the girl.
The beautiful girl smiled." It's okay "it's soft.
" You want to eat now? We order yes. " Vino called the waitress. Then order some food for her dinner with the girl.
" So you agree to our deal? " ask Vino after he finishes eating.
The girl placed the spoon and fork on her empty dinner plate. He then sipped the tea lemon which was still half a glass left.
" Okay I'm ready. We want freedom, but we are bound by the traditions of parenting and corporate mergers. Foaming. " The girl snorted.
Vino shrugged his shoulders. Agreeing to the words of the girl in front of him. Name's Cindy. The only child of his Papa business colleague. Both of their parents insisted on setting her up. Although he knew his two children were not interested in each other.
" So. as soon as we tell our papa and mama yes. " Vino smiled with satisfaction. Cyndipun smiled with both dimples appearing on his cheeks.
" But remember no one has the right to interfere in each other's affairs. " The girl insists.
" Agree." Vino raised his thumb for sure.
She agreed to her engagement to the girl so her parents would stop telling her to get married. He knew the girl in front of him was the type of woman who liked freedom and did not want to be bound by a relationship. It fits perfectly with his current life principles. At least for now he is not ready to commit to anyone.
" You know who I'am so we live with each other's lives, don't judge whatever I do later okay." once again Cindy asserts like unsure.
" OK.. okay. " Vino shrugged his shoulders.
The meeting continued with small talk of the two. Actually Cyndi is a fun girl. He is suble with broad insight, understand Cyndi graduates of one of the famous universities in America, just like Vino. But the association in America made the girl different. He's a Lesbian. And Vino found out about it after Cyndi told him himself. Feelings of regret and concern had arisen, but he thought there must be something that made Cyndi take the path of his life like that. Although he did not allow but he also had no right to interfere with the decision that the girl took.
He only wanted to obey what his parents wanted. Although sometimes he thinks that his decision is really ridiculous.

Rio was finally discharged from the hospital after 5 days of treatment. Now he can return home and feel his freedom again. But Anindya still acted like a security guard to him. Can't this, can't be that, can't eat this, must eat that. Rio could only give up with all the orders of Anindya who wanted to see her recover soon.
" yes, doctor. " Rio cengengesan heard Anindya's wobble that was so long wide before he went to work. That day he had to go to work because he had three days off to keep Rio in the hospital. Fortunately cut off the holiday Saturday week if he can not be fired because of the late permit.
Rio entered back into the house when Anindya had already driven his motorbike out of the yard and disappeared at the end of the street turn of his home alley.
" Mas Rio wait!" a voice stopped Rio's steps. He looked towards the source of the voice. It looks like Hani half ran into the yard. In his hand was a rantang.
" It healed. " Hani held Rio's hand.
" Alhamdulillah has gone to Han. " Rio is smiling. He invited Hani to sit on a chair on the porch of the house.
" This is Hani bring porridge and vegetables to Rio mas. " Hani handed the bushel to Rio.
" Well, it's just a hassle. " Rio received a bushel from Hani. He was actually worried about troubling his neighbor.
" No, Hani is happy to make it for Rio mas. " Hani looks shy shy cat.
" You're great Hani was a kid already good at cooking. " Rio ruffled Hani's hair which Rio already considered his own sister.
" It was a big time. " Hani pouted because Rio still considered her a child. Though he has shown many times that he really likes Rio.
" Yes who already felt mother. " Rio chuckled, while Hani looked even more sullen.
" Aindya can't cook, right?" ask Hani to investigate.
" Uuuhhh Anindya is good at cooking, every dish he makes is very good. Anyway, it's addictive. " Rio was so excited to tell his wife's skill in processing food.
Hani pouted hearing Rio's praise for Anindya. It was as if she did not willing Anindya to exceed her ability.
" You have a boyfriend yet? " question Rio arrived. He knew Hani liked him. Hence she tries to prune the buds of Hani's love before it develops.
" No, why? " Hani sparkled, she thought Rio would express his feelings.
" Find a good man, who loves you and your mother, who can replace the father figure to protect your family." Rio's message. Hani is an orphan. His father died in an accident while he was still in High School.
Hani looks disappointed to hear Rio's message. He seemed to be trying to contain his angry feelings. Both of his hands were tightly clenched. He hated when Rio always rejected him like this. He hated this rejection.
Hani left Rio without saying goodbye. Rio was still sitting on the chair staring at Hani's departure just like that. The girl turned her head again when she reached the fence of her house. He looked at Rio with a strange look that made Rio shudder.
