"It's funny that at least a little bit of happiness today before tomorrow adds up to a bitter memory." the woman said in her heart.

"How can you love yourself, in the midst of the pain of this life?" Ira broke the silence.

"I'm not going to say directly that you have to love yourself because I know it's hard."

"But sometimes you have to believe that from a lot of pain, there will be a happy ending" Ari continued

"When did that happen Ri?"

"don't know. You probably know that life is full of surprises. When you have a problem and you solve it, it does not mean you will be free from problems. Let's see out there a lot of people who have problems and certainly different. In this world there is no one who does not have Ra's problem." Ari replied staring at the woman.

"Yes I know. I also realized that out there there might be someone else whose problem is much more severe."

"May or may not you solve the problem depends on how you deal with it. But remember this! even though your life is a lot of trouble and you do not make it a lesson in the future it is all for free. Just wasting time, energy, thoughts, tears and heartache. You must understand what I mean!"

Ira was silent to what Ari said. How could he think like this in the midst of the destruction of his life because of his position as Ira. He also needs to work as a surrogate father and fulfill all his own needs.

"Yes, all children do not want to be a burden on their parents but sometimes I also want to feel what it feels like to ask for pocket money, tuition, buy what I want to arghhh life is fair haha."

"That's fine." rubbed Ira's hair.

"Am I drunk?"

"Maybe between yes and no, but don't drink it again tomorrow!"

"But hungry to eat."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Sager meatballs are like."

"It's not a seger, but it's your favorite."

Ira just smiled.

Ari saw the watch in his hand at 20:42 "Udah wants nine. Yuk said he wanted to eat meatballs later to hunt closed?"

"Yes yuk." got up from sitting wearing his hat and mask.

Ari walked first.

"How's this?" ask Ira about the wine bottle and the mat.

"Udah was paid earlier as a warning (father of the stall sebrang) later if we go home to be taken."

"Oh yeah usually the bottle likes to be asked again." Ira's on the road to the bike.

Ari opened the motorcycle seat to take his jacket.

"Well, catch a cold!"

"Yes thanks." put on the jacket.

Turns on the bike waiting for Ira to board.

"Hair will be pulled in the pigtails first" said Ira tied her hair.

"Not to be mom."

"Udah!" riding motor.

"Udah?" ari asked slowly forward driving.

"Is this the first place we both went? without bullies?"

"Yes, this place, maybe I'll remember it a little later"

"Not you, me too!"

Ira hugs Ari and is silent to see the beach that will be left behind there is a feeling that cannot be explained whether it is.

At that time he only saw the empty beach probably because of strong winds and high water waves no fishing boats at that time.

Similarly, the situation on the beach is usually crowded filled with lonely Caucasians inexplicably the night was really quiet.

Not how long the motor has driven into the city square area looks so crowded people and some street vendors.

"Do you want to move forward again?"

"Ah don't want to be here crowded, in the mang agus aja." reply Ira means to the meatballs who are located in before school.

"Yes you know, it means you want to snack first? lots of hawkers!"

"Haha very understanding." pinching Ari's stomach.

"So stop not?"

"No need, just go back to the mang agus!"

"It's easy not asking for anything strange" said Ari then stopped turning back towards the school.

"Anj*ng is secretly dating!" said a man from the side.

"That's right to have me!"

"Where are you from? hotel huh?" tanyakanya.

"Switched shit. Do not be in the same with others is different inimah!"

"Of euneuk I'm horrified."

"Where are you going? asking yes?" asked Ari laughing.

"Anj*ng is really a lo haha?"

"Fuck you."

"Who? shocked swear!" ask Ira.

"That's the Strong One, TKR 3's son."

"Oh yeah? not conscious."

"Hmm yes so because pinter though rarely enter school will not be in do (dropout) so?"

"Yes, he is useful. Also attended some school organizations."

"Hmmm," Ira was silent.

They got to the meatballs. Ari stopped the bike and got off.

"Yeah?"

"Where is Ri from? you're with Ira?" tanya mang agus (bakso carpenter).

"From dating!" ari smiled back.

"Ayehhhh nice this young man."

"What the hell is a sirik mang?" Ira smiled.

"Mixed meatballs 1, vegetable meatballs 1!" ari's Message.

"You want iced oranges too!" added Ira.

They both sit in the corner.

Ira took off her hat and mask and then rearranged her hair. Opening the camera of the phone.

"Beautiful!" said Ari.

"Groan!" Ira smile.

"That's why I like."

"Udah knows. Suuut!!" Ira smiled shyly.

"Mission neng," said mang agus save the meatballs.

"Thank you mang."

They're stirring up the meatball.

"Nih neng." Mang agus delivering orange ice.

"Neng continues?" said Ari.

"Yes to Riii!"

Ari finished first and got up from her seat walking out.

"Where?" ask Ira.

"They're sown!"

"There!"

"Take the roko on the motorbike" he said.

Ira just nodded.

Ari sat back down and ignited a roko.

Ira finished with that.

"Tea wants fruit salad 1!" Ira said to mang agus' wife.

"Yes, uh, don't wait,"

"Will this go straight home?"

"Yes, um?"

"Let's stop by the kids."

"You what?"

"You're showing off haha!"

"Heumm whatever!" Ira smiled.

"It's neng." Mang agus ushered in fruit salad.

"Aaww thanks."

Then he ate it.

"Aaaa" Ira wants to feed Ari.

"Mom's smoking."

"That's okay!" Ira ate.

"Where is it?"

"Offer up!"

"Well?"

"Basic!" reply Ira bribed him.

When it's over Ari pays for everything and they're out.

"Don't wear a mask."

"Why?"

"Not what the hell."

They got on the bike and drove.

"Ri?" a man passed by on the street.

"Yeah!" reply Ari.

"Well, did you stop by first?"

"Yes yuk."

At the intersection of front Ari turn towards the rented place of wisdom and some friends live.

From a distance they were sitting in the yard playing guitar, drinking coffee and smoking.

"Assekkk!!" Arif says hello.

Ari stopped the bike and then got off after it by Ira.

"Where are you from?" ask Rendi.

"Beach!" reply Ira.

Ari sat up and stared at Ira tapping her hand on the floor hinting for Ira to sit nearby.

"Ko Tumben not ngajak Ri? do you often go both?" ask Rendi.

"Often we're the only ones who don't know!" answer Beni.

"Gue won't go to lo Ben." said Rendi.

"Haha should have gone with me huh Ra?" said Beni.

"Yes later sometime." reply Ira.

"When is that when?"

"Yes sometime haha"

"Oh so Alesan was not going to the beach to walk alone? Oh!" pras.

"Maybe haha!" reply Ira laugh.

Ira then silently noticed the atmosphere that could not be explained, there was a fish pond under a guava tree with a small waterfall that made the pond water never seem calm.

It sounded Ari was talking to Rezki who had been playing his guitar. If he was focusing on something Ira could not hear someone's conversation even if the person was nearby as if the voice sounded distant

"Heumm." Ari rubbed Ira's dreamy face.

"What the hell?" Ira looked back at Ari.

"Hat habit!"

"So, like to feel calm if you look at the fish pond that the water flows."

"Yes, you like water."

"You want some coffee ma'am?" Rezki.

"Not thanks."

Ari got up from her seat.

"Yet home?"

"Wanna go back now, you?" ask Beni.

"Whya?"

"Udah diem, Ra wants to be in the same anterin me?" asked Beni smiling.

"Are you sure you want nganterin?"

"Seriously!"

"Yes yuk?" Ira smiled as she looked at Ari.

"Macem-macem!" said Ari.

"What Ri? Yes, please at most later end I embrace haha." said Beni laughed.

"Anj*ng!" Ari turn on the motor.

"Aye home?" Ira slapped Rendi's shoulder and then rode her bike.

Rendi just nodded.

"Gue go back!" ari said to them.

"Yes straight back, but if you want to stop by the hotel is also up to you anyway haha!" shout Beni.

"I thought to myself." Ari smiled back.

Ira just smiled hearing that because she knew it was just a joke. Precisely from the many friends of the son of a bitch only they (kr children) who talk carelessly but good treatment of women.

Ari drove away from the place towards the direction of returning to deliver Ira.

"Cold no? it's the middle of this mallem."

"Little, I'll wear a jacket. I should have asked, Ari put on a t-shirt."

"Cold anyway, no intention of doing that?" said Ari who realized that from earlier Ira's hand was holding his phone.

"Haha yes yes ya daft." kept the phone on the jacket and hugged Ari.

"If only this comfort would last a long time maybe life would be better. Every day there is no clearer feeling than fear, loneliness, and heartache. Hmmm..." Ira said in my heart.

They have left a crowded city. The road is actually quiet there are only a few motorcycles and cars that drive. Looking far ahead there were only empty streets and mercury lamps illuminating.
