Sunday morning after breakfast, Aline prepares to return to her rented house. Om Rahman and aunty Jessy force to deliver Aline. Actually Aline wants to go directly to the mall only, because the distance of the mall and the house om Rahman not too far, but because om and his aunty force, because the distance is, so yes, I don't want Aline to go home first and then to the mall again to meet Arya.
Arriving at Aline's small contract, Rahman and his wife stopped to see the residence of his nephew away. Aline serves cold cocoa syrup and a nastar cake that she made a few days ago.
"Your house is so tiny. Do you live here, honey?" Aunty Jessy opened their chat that morning.
"Absolutely at home, Aunty. Although mini, this house is able to provide comfort and tranquility for me."
"i see's. Aunty saw that the neighborhood was safe too. But, try to think once again about Om and Aunty's offer. Our house is very big, it feels lonely only lived in two. Aunty would be very happy if you wanted to stay with us again," she persuaded Aline to stay with them.
Aunty Jessy loves Aline because she wants a daughter. Her three children were all male. When giving birth to her youngest child, Bryan, the delivery is having problems, then the uterus inevitably lifted and Bryan can not have a sister. When Aline lives with them in Sydney first, Jessy pampers Aline. He really loved that girl. Even when her husband allowed Aline to move into an apartment close to her campus, she kept her husband quiet for days. So unfortunately Jessy on Aline.
"Alright, Honey. Rosaline has made her decision. Expect a little. After all, if you miss, you just come here or see him at the office," Rahman's injury tries to stop his wife's drama, making Jessy frown even more.
Aline picked it up and clasped his aunty's hand. "Aunty, I am grateful to be surrounded by good people like Aunty, Om, Abah, Mother. Let me process on being a tough guy, Aunty. Just stand by and direct me. What I'm going through now, it's all a process I have to go through. Luxury life is easily able to give everything for me, but this simple life is able to give maturity and closeness to the Creator. I'm happy to be born bathin, Aunty, really. So, Aunty doesn't have to worry. Everything's fine."
"But, Darling, you've never had a hard life. Aunty can't bear to see you work day and night like this."
"No, Aunty. Aunty's wrong. Indeed, in Sydney my life was fully financed by the papi because for four years I was only in college and college, day and night. But when I finished my engineering masters in Berlin, I went to college and worked in a cafe owned by my friend, and I paid for my own life, even though papi, bang Cris and bang Rio always sent me, but I've never used their money again until now. So, if Aunty thinks I'm not used to doing this kind of work, Aunty's wrong. Believe me," explained Aline trying to calm aunty Jessy.
Aunty Jessy who got the explanation at length just nodded her mark she understood. "But, you have to promise Aunty. Every Saturday or Sunday you take off work, you'll call Aunty. We can spend both."
"Honey, if it's holiday Rosaline should rest. Sometimes it's okay if you go together." Rahman shook his head with his wife's idea.
Jessy who got such a reprimand just smiled wryly. Wants to deny the fear of sin.
Rahman and Aunt Jessy return home. The clock shows at 9 o'clock. Soon Aline ordered his subscription online motorcycle taxi to deliver it to Cafe Green.
The Cafe Green
Arya is already sitting sweetly in the corner of the cafe, enjoying her favorite cup of americano while checking her sosmed. He came early so excited to meet Aline that he couldn't sleep all night.
Aline entered the cafe which was still a little quiet. He saw the existence of Arya in the right corner of the cafe that leads to the children's game area. He immediately put his foot on the table for the two men.
"Assalamu'alaikum, I'm sorry I'm a little late" he said, feeling bad that he was seven minutes late from the time he promised.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, no papa. Waiting for you for years I can, let alone just a matter of minutes," continued Arya. While Aline, she felt increasingly uneasy, her nose had even flushed in embarrassment. Aline is the kind of person who values time. On time is his trademark. But because om and aunty visited his house, the plan so slightly missed.
Arya called waitress to order.
"There's an extra, Mom, Ma'am?" tanyanya friendly.
"Order the flat white one, Ma'am!" aline replied after reading the menu book.
"Drink then? Have you had breakfast?"
Aline nodded "Udah was at home."
"If so, I order his flat white 1, easy potato Snack 1, chicken crispy 1, fruit salad 1, the same cold mineral water 2 yes, Ma'am."
After repeating Arya's order, the waitress left their table.
"You order that much, haven't you had breakfast yet?" aline asked trying to break the silence between them. It was not that he wanted to pay any more attention to this man in front of him. However, they have been together, have ever had the same taste, a little bit of stale no harm.
Arya shrugged her shoulders. "All that menu we ordered the first time it was made" he replied reminiscing about the past. While Aline, he just kept quiet did not give any response.
"Not to be remembered. It's all over."
Arya who got the answer to that sentence stared fixedly at Aline.
"Is there no hope for us to get back together?" I don't know why exactly that sentence was uttered from his lips, very far from what he had composed last night.
Aline sighed then exhaled slowly.
"You already know the answer. Something that breaks even if put together again will still cause scars."
Waitress came to deliver their order. Aline immediately sipped on her favorite white flat. Arya chuckles at Aline's behavior.
"You still can't stand this drink."
Aline just pressed her shoulders. He needed something to distract him because their language was getting pretty heavy.
"Here, the salad was eaten while horrifying my story." Arya offers a fruit salad, then she herself takes a chicken crispy.
"I know I was wrong." Arya starts her story and then looks back to the past. "At that time, I meant to tell you that if I had to go home soon, my mom went to the ICU for a stroke. I ordered a ticket. I met Nadia while I was waiting for you. As he said, he's my ex-boyfriend. I was the same she was in a relationship from High School until I went to college in the third semester. We broke up because I couldn't get an LDR. I went to college in Sydney, while he was in Malang," Arya paused for a moment, she wanted to see Aline's reaction. But the girl did not show an excessive response as expected Arya made him realize that his expectations are very thin. "Then accidentally met in your apartment lobby. We talked long enough because I'm still waiting for you and he's waiting to be picked up by his friend ..."
"Then, that kiss?" cut Aline.
"Honestly, I don't know why I told him to do it either. When my consciousness returned, I really felt very guilty about you, "he answered honestly. "I'm really sorry, honey." Arya tried to grab Aline's hand, but the girl first pulled her hand.
"Don't be like this!" soft Aline pinta.
Arya stared inside the girl in front of her. While the one in the face is just silent.
Arya then continued her story. "Mom was in a coma, almost two months and had to undergo a lot of therapy. Once the condition of my mother is stable, I returned to Sydney cariin you, but at that time said your friends, you have graduated and returned to Indonesia."
"You left me for months without news, it's only natural that I've graduated," chirped Aline trying to melt the awkward atmosphere created.
"That's because you blocked my number, just in case you forgot," replied Arya, growling to herself with this girl in front of her. Whereas every day while in Jakarta, he always sent a message to the girl, but the messages were only read, without ever being reciprocated. A month after that, the message was no longer sent because the girl blocked the number.
"Now, how is your mother?"
"Alhamdulillah mama's condition improved despite having to undergo therapy for almost a year. Back from your nyariin, mama asked me to work and settle in Jakarta until now."
"Then?" aline asked after the two had been silent for quite a while.
"Then I realized that my hope would not be fulfilled." There was a real sadness on that handsome face when he said a sentence that was really not in the list of sentences he had composed last night. Then silence approached them.
"I really love you, Rosaline!" he sounded desperate, but the man's gaze implied a kink.
"I'm sorry!" said Aline glazed. After all, Aline felt lucky to be loved so deeply by this handsome man before her. However, that sense was already eroded by the events of that night.
Arya just nodded, resignedly. "At least, I've made it clear to all of you."
"I'm sorry. The taste was .. it was eroded by the shadow of the night. My heart cannot accept it. Excuse me. You deserve to be happy with a woman who feels the same way."
"But it wasn't you?"
While Arya smiled bitterly at Aline's reply. "So?" tanyanya.
"So?" ask Aline back with a confused look.
"So, we broke up?"
"That was five years ago" said Aline amusedly. Arya smiled too.
"You're more beautiful wearing a hijab" he said, shifting the topic.
Aline blushed at Arya's praise. "long story. I'll tell you a story sometime".
"I have all day to hear your story" he said.
"Unfortunately, I have to work today" elak Aline.
"Working Sunday? Did Rahman punish you overtime for Friday?"
"Not that. Rahman did not give punishment. He's just moving me into finance from tomorrow."
"Well, let's not get close to Ethan."
"What the hell?"
"He's got a wife, Lin."
"I knew. Our closeness is not what you think. Ah, don't talk about it."
"I don't want you to be like him!"
"Udah yes. Don't fuck!"
"OK okay."
"Now choose" said Aline. "You want me to call Mas Arya or Arya's sister?"
"I choose to be called 'sad' with you."
"I'm serious!"
"I'm serious too".
"Yes already. Then I turn back," and then stand up from her seat.
"Yes yes. Sorry. It's aja ngambek. I'm not used to being called that's the same as you."
"Don't make it up, when it wasn't done yet, you're fun I call Arya. Yes already. I call Arya's sister."
"As far as you are."
....
"Lin ..." call her in a serious tone after such a long silence. Aline looked at the man in front of her.
"Promise don't change. Don't shy away from me."
Aline nodded, saying her promise without a word.
"Promise with me, if you're going to move on," Aline asked for the same promise.
"I promise. But not anytime soon. I need to set my heart after you've left."
Aline nodded in understanding. "You should have done it five or four years ago" Aline replied.
"Are you moving on from me?" ask Aline back.
"Here, his name is Mario. Mexican People. We split up two years ago, due to different religions and cultures," Aline's story makes Arya's face grim.
"Here you go, don't be jealous. Our relationship is over. But the point is, I managed to move on from you, brother, although I admit it's very difficult to start a new relationship."
"Yes. It's gonna be really hard for me."
....
" You can call me whenever you need. I'm always there for you" Arya said later.
"Udah ah's. How to melow gini. You're not like Arya always is."
"What is the usual Arya?"
"Udah, Brother. Don't tempt me!"
"Hehehehehe," Arya grinned the horse.
"Yes, I'm back. Thanks for the treat."
"I'm taking it."
"Not to."
"I don't accept rejection."
"Yes, on one condition."
"Most conditions."
"Do you want to?"
"Yes.yeah."
"Move on yes!"
"Yes already. Come on." If you can choose, Arya does not want to forget this girl. His heart had already been handed over to the girl who was currently walking by his side. If only he had not made a fatal mistake that night, maybe now the beautiful girl next to him was already bearing the status of Lady Aryaka Revanno. But baby, destiny says something else.
And he has decided from now on to make peace with fate but will keep this girl's name in every prayer.
