The man approached Ayu and looked at Ayu sharply.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry. I'm really sorry. Let's go to the hospital to treat Ma'am's wounds." Said the man.
"I'm fine, I'm okay." Reply Ayu.
"Why not why?" Ask the gentlemen who helped Ayu earlier.
"Yes sir, I'm fine." Reply Ayu.
While the man who hit Ayu, since then he just kept looking at Ayu without blinking.
People left after Ayu told them that she was fine and only had blisters on her arm.
Now only Ayu and the man who hit her are standing on the side of the road.
"Once again I'm sorry. Hmmmmm is it true that you don't want me to take you to the hospital?"
"Yes, it's just a blistering wound." Reply Ayu with a smile.
The man was even more stunned looking at the smiling Ayu. Ayu's smile seemed to bewitch the man. Ayu who felt constantly stared at felt a little uncomfortable.
"Bas.!!!!" Ayu cried while waving her hand in front of the man's face.
"Eeehh, yes Ma'am." The man looks flabbergasted.
Ayu smiled back.
"If that's what I am first." Say Ayu while riding her motorbike.
"Eh, stay back, Mom." The man held the handlebar of Ayu's motorbike. "Can I know your name and address? Emmii. Let me get closer, eehhh I mean...,"
"My name is Ayu Mas." Ayu cut the man's words and smiled. "My house is at the end of the road here. Precisely a light blue paint house and there was a stall in front of him." Ayu.
"I'm Adi. Can I play at Ma'am's house sometime?"
"Main?" Ayu frowned.
The man named Adi nodded his head.
“If Mas Adi wants to come to visit my shop, please Mas. But I will be honest with Mas, if Mas intends to be friends with me, please think first. I am a widow, afraid she will find out from others. Moreover, later Mas can be ridiculed for being close to a widow." Ayu.
Ayu had not wanted to cover up her status from any man who tried to get close to her. Since the beginning of the acquaintance, Ayu would immediately say her status.
The man named Adi smiled and made Ayu's heart beat fast. All this time Ayu had never felt such a thing. There were so many men approaching her all this time, and it was only Adi who somehow attracted her from the first glance.
"I've never disputed any status in being friends." Adi Say. "Then I hope you will be friends with me." Continue Adi while sticking out his hand.
Ayu smiled and shook Adi's hand.
The two then separated. Ayu returns home, while Adi continues her journey to the project site.

Sure enough, the next two days Adi came to visit Ayu's house. Ayu who is busy in her food stall seems misbehaved because of the arrival of Adi who this time looks casual. The first time he met Adi appeared in a full suit. This time he wore a short-sleeved shirt and also shorts up to his knees.
Ayu really couldn't cover her excitement. Indeed, since the first time I met, somehow Ayu already felt interested. But he still chose to be careful in determining his attitude and feelings.
Day after day passed, Ayu and Adi began to go through a period of approach or effort to get closer to each other in order to get acquainted further. The length of the approach or approach for each person is not the same, depending on how the couple runs it. Some are a month, two months, or even up to a year more. And in the process of approaching Ayu and Adi, they only took a month and decided to get into a relationship.
Undeniably, the approach period is the most beautiful phase that Ayu and Adi have ever felt before they officially into the courtship stage. The moments where they meet for the first time, steal glances, think of each other all day, reply to messages with his message, and other beautiful.
Both are like the first time you fall in love with someone.
Although during the first weeks, Ayu continued to think everything well and did not want to make a rash decision. Ayu still continues to imagine her late husband.
'Is it time for me to open my heart again?' think Ayu.
Ayu who was sitting on the porch at night was surprised by her sister who patted her shoulder.
"Yes God... You why the hell is always nosy with brother." Ayu Protest.
"Abis brother daydreams anyway. Watch out for the ghost of the neighbor mango tree." Aryan Gelak.
"Don't tell me you're thinking about Adi's sister."
Hearing Adi's name mentioned, Ayu's face immediately blushed.
"You think Mas Adi is how's he?" Ask Ayu to her sister.
"Beautiful, yes even more handsome with me everywhere."
Ayu immediately grabbed her sister's head.
"It hurts...." Ayu's sister grimaced in pain.
"If asked, he answered seriously."
"It looks good Kak Adi is nice, and also polite. But there's one thing I still doubt about him, brother."
"What's that?" Ask Ayu.
"Status. Is he really a single unmarried man? Or maybe he has a wife?"
Ayu.
"I've never been in a relationship, brother. But as a man I can see from my men's glasses that Adi's sister is keeping a suspicious gawk."
"Hussis.... What the hell are you, son. Can't carelessly judge a person like that." Said Ms. Ida, Ayu's mother who suddenly appeared from inside the house.
Madam Ida then sat down beside Ayu.
"According to Mother, Adi was kind, friendly, and polite. So, I can only pray for you the best son. You've been alone too long so now pursue your happiness by trying to hook up with Nak Adi." Continue with Ms. Ida.
Ayu just smiled then held her mother's hand.
"Thank you, Mom." Reply Ayu.
Mother Ida then stroked the head of her eldest daughter.

The next day....
Adi was so early in the morning coming to the stall owned by Ayu. This surprised Ayu.
"Mas, why did it suddenly come so early?" Ask Ayu.
"I don't have any work on the project anymore. I also came for breakfast." Answer Adi.
Ayu smiled then quickly prepared food for Adi.
"This is the food. Can I make coffee, tea, or milk?"
"The white husband. Oh yeah, I'm gonna go to the restroom for a second. Please stay here." Adi Say.
Ayu nodded by looking at Adi's back who was walking away.
Not so long ago, Adi's phone rang. Adi left her phone on the table.
At first Ayu hesitated to answer him, especially the name listed as the caller is Sarah.
'Who's Sarah?' think Ayu.
The phone kept ringing and Adi hasn't returned. Ayu was forced to answer the call because she was afraid that it was a very important call.
"Hello Mas, so come home today?"
Ayu was silent, suddenly from behind, Adi appeared and immediately snatched the phone from her hand then walked out of the stall.
'Who's Sarah? Is he a sister, or a relative of Mas Adi? Or maybe his wife?'
Seriate....
