"Where is it better now?" Araz asked as he pinched the tip of my nose.

My smile expands. Being with Araz always makes me feel good. Even though in the heart rumbles to hold anger, hate, disappointment, and lara. Araz always proved that if I was with him, I could get better and smile a lot.

"Udah, Mom. Thanks, yes" I said sincerely.

The more days I realize that Araz is able to complete my soul. How could I ignore his real presence? We're both trying, aren't we? To be better.

"Well, that's dong. Smile. It's so cute with that smile."

"Yes, thank you, Mas Araz. Love me" I said, jokingly.

We were sitting next to each other at the dinner table enjoying hot chocolate and a bowl of soup noodles with a half-cooked egg topping. Araz cooked it. Though I planned to make it, but instead the man took over when I knew my situation was not okay.

After enjoying a bowl of soup noodles and a glass of hot chocolate, we chatted in the living room while leaving the television on. Even though our gazes were focused on locking each other up and discussing things. I just don't like the silence in the early hours.

Actually, I've asked Araz to rest first. Must be tired after a long trip from Jakarta - Juanda, Juanda - Surabaya continued back to Tuban. However, the man insisted on talking to me. I know, our longing has not been completely channeled. Though if quoting the title of the novel Eka Kurniawan "such as revenge longs to be paid completely" right? Then we will pay the full price of the longing waving in front of our eyes.

"Sori if I ask you this now, but I'm here to also bring a mission from Hanung. How, you're not joining MediaPena?" araz asked without further ado after we asked each other the news and asked how the new cyber media was launched a few hours ago.

"That must be discussed now."

"That's why I apologized first. So how's?"

"According to Araz, how?"

The man looked pensive. His gaze was bright as if he was going to decide something difficult. I smiled looking at his serious face. He also found it difficult to determine whether I should join MediaPena or not, let alone me who is concerned with my future. Anyway, I want my career to be brilliant in the world I am in right now. And obviously it cannot be decided haphazardly.

"I actually don't agree we're co-workers. Original, will definitely be very disturbing and can be awkward. Even if in practice you will be Hanung's men. But you will also be my men. It would be uncomfortable every time I reprimanded. But ... ."

Araz hung up his sentence. He straightened his legs that were originally bent over the sofa. His tall body he bent to the left and to the right until his bones cracked. And laughs broadly at me.

"Mas Araz mending break. It's almost this morning, too" I said a little forcefully this time.

"Short of a second, I finished our conversation."

"On MediaPena? That's what we'll talk about tomorrow. Yes, Mas? Mas Araz needs a break. This original, Mas Araz needs a break. Araz's eyes are also still, it's like a protected Chinese state asset."

"He, Chinese state assets are protected?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"meaning?" A pair of thick eyebrows belonging to Araz interlocked when asked what I meant to call it a protected Chinese state asset.

"Yes, the panda."

Araz's laugh came off. I hurriedly smothered his mouth before his laughter woke the one man up. Especially Victor. The baby boy, who has not even one month, is so sensitive to the slightest noise.

Damn, my actions just awakened something else. Butterfly gel started nosy at the bottom of my stomach when the skin of my hand touched the lips. God, how could the lips of that man be so soft even with the touch of my palm?

At 09:00 in the morning.

My eyes had just become literate after feeling a shock in my body that was quite loud. No one else dared to do it but Mama. And it's true that women do it. His face that had improved even though he had only been allowed to go home yesterday looked fierce as he looked at me who was still curled up in the blanket. Not only that, Mama hit me on the back when I didn't get up.

"Ma, still sleepy."

"Who told me to laugh until late at night."

My body automatically stiffened upon hearing the woman's statement. Even though Araz and I didn't always laugh last night, I was still alert when I heard Mom's comments. Is he listening from the main room on the ground floor?

Araz's?

I patted the jidat. Remember if there is a man in this house. Is he awake?

"He even ran off early in the morning with your sister. This is a girl still," said Mama answering the question in my head. And, I was surprised to understand what Mama said.

"What?"

I screamed loudly when Mama mentioned she was running in the morning with my sister. With the Son means, right? Gosh darn. How could? How could it happen? Araz and Son run off in the morning together?

Without thinking much, I got up from the bed and changed my nightgown to a more appropriate outfit. I don't care about Mama calling my name. I hurriedly went down the stairs. I even jumped two steps at once to get to the first floor quickly. I can't let Son and Araz fight.

"Hey Sleeping Princess. So good at this hour just woke up?" greet the Son from the living room as I pass by. Her smile is so bright. It was so bright that I suspected that something had happened to her. "No need to think strangely. I'm not as bad as you think."

"Lo, that was .. said Mama ... ."

I'm at a loss for words. My son still wears his sportswear. The man's body and face were still sweating. But I don't see Araz anywhere. Who does not suspect if that is the case.

"Araz is in his room. Mama told him to take a shower and have breakfast. You don't think weird about me, do you?"

The son's question made me feel wrong. I can't deny that I imagine them fighting with strength and not being able to deal with the problem with a cold head. Given how angry the son was last night when I and Araz got to midnight.

"Sori, I ... ."

"Yes reasonable. Sori, I'm missing. I promise I won't like that anymore" said the Son as he walked towards me. Before he climbed the stairs, the man ruffled my hair. "Not to worry, I won't renege on our deal."

"What deal, brother?" ask Mom suddenly. The woman was already standing at the bottom of the stairs and staring intently at us.

"Definitely a deal, Ma. If I'm gonna take care of Mama, Kanya and baby Victor."

The son walked up to Mama and hugged the woman. Without any awkward feeling. Like her own real mother.

I smiled with relief. At least the hope of the Son to have a mother who loves him can be fulfilled.

I hope you will recover soon, Son. I love you the same. Even though the feeling of affection is different now. You should get well soon.
