...Happy reading 🍊...

......................

Caca woke up to a noise from the front of his room, his father woke him up for dawn first, he got up from the bed and then walked towards the bathroom below.

After the dawn prayer, Caca walked outside the house, just wanted to breathe fresh morning air, plus he wanted to calm himself outside the house.

"Ca, where are you going this morning? " ask Bimo.

"Get out of the house, Caca wants to walk around the neighboring house around here aja." replied Caca.

"Is that so? Before, wear a jacket, the weather like this makes the morning flatulence, can catch a cold. Get the jacket right there, "command Bimo.

"Good, dad. "

Caca ran to his room above, he took his jacket, from the glass window he saw the figure of a man who stood staring at the window of his room, Caca was surprised and away from the window of his room.

"Ca."

Caca this time was surprised, even his words came out, before long his mouth was patted by someone from behind.

"God! Dirty talk! " reproof Nanno.

"Caca didn't know it was mom" Caca said.

Caca swings his hand, he calls his mother to come closer, Nanno approaches his son and asks why he was called.

"What's up, Ca? " ask Nanno.

"Mom, that's who's standing in front of our house? Caca was afraid it was a bad guy" Caca said.

Nanno watched the man from the window, cheered oh and stared at his son.

"Ohh, that's Yuda, Ca" Nanno replied.

"What's? Yudah? " ask Caca.

"When did he come here so often? " caca asked back.

"Since you went to college to major in architecture outside the city, he often came here, often asked about your situation, and came home when he heard you were fine outside the city, Ca. " obviously Nanno.

Yuda, the man who used to keep going, even with the courage to express his feelings to Caca.

Unfortunately, after many years he kept the taste, precisely when Caca was 24 years old, Caca was married by Bagas, unfortunately only a year long marriage they survive and will divorce as soon as it.

"Samperin only, he just wanted to ask the news, especially if you have met him really, surely he is happy. "

"Yes too, ma'am. I haven't seen him for a long time" said Caca.

Caca came out of his room, he came down and approached his father who was staring at his device, then went out of the house to approach Judah.

When it came out, the weather was starting to light, everyone was busy with their activities.

"Yuda? "

The man called Caca turned his back, with a happy face, Yuda approached Caca.

"Caca, how are you? " ask Yuda with passion.

"Good, Yud. By the way, you came here this morning? " ask Caca.

Yuda looked at Caca deeply, he immediately hugged Caca tightly.

"When you are the same thing, we haven't met for almost 6 years, Ca." said Yuda.

Caca let go of his embrace. "I love you, Ca. I'm still faithful waiting for you " said Yuda.

Like dejavu, Caca recalled Judah's words like Bagas said that night, shaking his head.

"Yuda, I am married, now I want to split up and will be a widow at a young age, why are you waiting for me? " ask Caca.

"How else, you're the one I've been waiting for, it's a pity that yesterday you were married" Yuda said.

Worried, he chose silence.

"Ca, it's a good opportunity for me to reconnect with you, let alone say that you want to divorce your husband. You want to be my girlfriend? " ask Yuda.

Caca's hand was grasped by Judah, in the belief that Judah would be accepted by Caca, but Caca chose to consider it first.

"I'm sorry, Yud, did I think? " ask Caca.

Yuda nodded his head, he smiled and pinched Caca's nose.

"Ready, I wait. Then I go home first. "

"Not come by the house yet, Jud? " taw Caca.

"No, just go home, come here just want to see you, Ca, already satisfied enough for me to see you up close" said Yuda.

Yuda and Caca waved each other, they separated and went to their respective places.

After three days of not working, Caca intends to work again, he feels bored not to leave the house and do nothing at home.

Wanting to help her mother, her mother instead told her to relax, while wanting to help her father garden, Caca was just told to accompany her by her father without doing anything, he was privileged after 24 years of living in his parents' home.

"Caca wants to work today. "

"Loh, really... "

"Boss at home, ma'am, Caca wants to work. Caca believes, surely Caca's work in the office has been stacked, the project this time again rose because of it.

"Well, now get ready, then let your anterin father come to the office. "

Caca is ready, in addition to his goal of wanting to work, he also wants to say something with Bagas.

"Where's maca? " ask Bimo.

"Prepare to the office, you anterin him huh? "

"Why go to the office? What less pocket money? Let me add..! "

Bimo seemed unhappy if his daughter went to the office, he thought Bagas could take the opportunity to make her son forced to go home with him, even though the divorce process was being processed and in a few days will be lifted.

"It doesn't feel like, let it go, after all he said the project must be a lot he hasn't finished yet. Bagas problem, surely Caca can avoid the man, after all he himself divorced our child" said Nanno.

"Well, I'll take him to the office" Bimo said.

After getting ready and having breakfast, Bimo drove Caca in his car, it happened to be raining and it was not possible to use a motorbike, Bimo helped his son into the car.

"Read."

"If you meet the man again, he forces you to go home with him, just hit him mid-foot. You have to fight a man like him, even if you are smaller than him" Bimo said.

"Well yeah, Caca would do. " said Caca.

......................

Arriving at the office, Bimo gave her umbrella, he told Caca to wear it and would pick her up when before magrib arrived.

"Binoerca! We missed you...! "

All the coworkers in Caca's room welcomed the arrival of Caca who a few days not working in the office, most highlighted when Indah who hugged Caca tightly, she missed her best friend to come to the office.

"Ca, if you move to another office... Why don't you go to work three days? You sick? " tanya Beautiful worried.

"Later to tell me, now we sit down. "

Caca brought a bouquet of flowers and various food given by his friend, he sat next to Beautiful and told her everything that happened.

"What's? A divorce? " tanya Beautiful with whispers.

"Yes, we're getting divorced, Ndah. Now, my status will change" said Caca.

"Ta—but why Ca? Wh why? " tanya Beautiful with curiosity.

Caca explained everything, Beautiful shook her head, she felt sorry for Caca now.

"Patience yes, bestie, your soul mate is only this limited." said Beautiful.

"Yes, thank you, Ndah, at least talking to you makes me relieved. "

"Yes, the same, ma friend. "said Indah.

At lunch, Caca looked around the hallway, suddenly his arm was grabbed by someone, he was surprised and floated his provisions to hit someone.

"Duh, sick Ca... "

Caca saw behind it, it was Bagas, he was holding Bagas' forehead which had been hit by his stock box which happened to be almost like a bushel to Bagas' head.

"Sorry, Gas... "

"Duh, no papa, sorry ngaggetin you. " said Bagas grimacing.

The two are silent, then Caca clears her throat.

"We had lunch together, I brought the supply quite a lot of portions." bargain Caca.

Bagas nodded his head, he followed Caca to the cafeteria.

......................

Caca looked at Bagas who was eating his provisions, Bagas looked greedy, looking like a person who did not eat at all.

"Gas, are you starving? " ask Caca.

"Like that, I don't want to eat at my mom's house" replied Bagas.

Caca so did not have the heart to say the truth, but it does not feel relieved if it does not directly reveal it.

"We already want to separate, Gas, should we find each other's partners, huh? "

Eating Bagas stopped, he stared at Caca in disbelief. "Well, are you going to move your heart to someone else, Ca? "

"You too I release, Gas, you are free to choose the woman you love. "

Bagas was silent, only Caca could understand the meaning of the silence.

"We deserve to find our true love, Gas, remember what you said yesterday? "

"Which one? " ask Bagas.

"We are not related to love in marriage. Love cannot be imposed " said Caca.

In losing, he remembered his words and nodded his head. "You got something new, Ca? "

Caca was silent, Bagas' question finally led to him having a new partner so soon.

"Jawablah Ca, when you don't want to answer my question anyway? "

Bagas forced Caca to speak, Caca looked at Bagas.

"If I have something new, you should also look for something new. I don't want you to just be alone like this, just look at yourself, after marriage with me you look well, different when we are separated, let alone take care of appearance, let alone look, even you eat only the word you rarely. I want you to have something to take care of, Gas. "

Bagas looks unwilling, especially when Caca releases the wedding ring, making Bagas' heart completely destroyed.

Caca grabbed Bagas' hand, he opened Bagas' palm and handed him a silver ring, which had previously been proof that they were a married couple.

"Get yourself good, Gas. "

Caca left Bagas alone at the cafeteria table.

Bagas looked at the provision given by Caca, he let out his tears and rubbed his eyes with his arms, he cried like a child.

......................

In the afternoon, Bagas approached Jenni's desk, a colleague whom he had previously been angry with and insisted he should not approach her.

Early expression Jenni was surprised, he was afraid when he saw Bagas who approached him.

"Jadian yuk, Jen. You have a crush on me, right? "

Jenni is shocked when Bagas asks her out for a date. "Gas, but kan— "

"Just like I'm getting a divorce, Jen. "

Jenni was silent, she thought of something to make him mutter like a whisper.

"Duh, so pity, be patient, Gas. "

"Yes Jen. "

Bagas holds back Jenni's hand, with Jenni's alluring gaze, offering Jenni his invitation again.

"You want to, don't you, Jen? " ask Bagas.

Jenni, without thinking much, agreed to Bagas' invitation, eventually connecting as a girlfriend for the day.
