Finally Aruna followed the wishes of the Word. The girl only wore a sweeter to wrap her pajamas, while Sabda wore a black body and shorts. They walked along the sidewalk along the front street of Aruna's house.
"Why are you crying?" tanya Sabda glanced at Aruna who just kept her head down.
"I'm not crying." replied Aruna when it was clear, Sabda saw Aruna wipe her tears after coming out of Mama Hesti's room. The girl could always cover up her sadness.
Hearing Aruna's lying answer made Sabda smile, then clasped Aruna's hand tightly and walked back leisurely. He won't force Aruna to tell the story.
They sat on a long bench near some superficial food vendors. This city is not as crowded as the city they live in, but quiet enough to live life.
"We have a story of our family's past that is quite complicated" Aruna said, her voice sounding heavy with a straight-forward look.
The word grasped Aruna's cold hand. He wanted to calm the girl.
"Mama Hesti, is my stepmom." continued Aruna.
"We should think about the future. Don't look back." between the words, he tried to shift the conversation that made his girl feel sad.
"I want us to get married next month. Actually I want us to get married in a simple way, but Mama asked me to have our wedding, she took care of it." Hearing the words of Sabda, Aruna slightly flinched, she did not expect Sabda to want their marriage to be done so quickly.
"If later, they think I'm pregnant, how?" tanya Aruna again convinced Sabda. A month seems short enough to prepare for everything.
" Just a prejudice, rather than really getting pregnant first?" the Word Goda made Aruna pinch the stomach of the man sitting next to her.
The chuckling word, then embracing Aruna to lean on her arm, "I already know you very well, but you don't know the naughty side of a man yet. So we better get married." All this time Sabda knew Aruna who was too naive and did not know what kind of naughty a man.
"I'm with the boys' family." Aruna smiled looking at the sharp eyes that now could not be separated to pay attention to him.
They enjoyed the burnt meatballs while walking back home. Sabda did choose to bakar meatballs, because it had seen many buyers queuing up.
"Nob too?" word said after finishing one skewer.
"That's from me still high school is selling, Mas. Only I rarely buy." replied Aruna who was enjoying the legendary grilled meatballs, which she used to enjoy with Tita after returning from tutoring.
"Cooking? Who do you buy it from often?" search Word.
"Bareng Tita, my late fiancee."
"But, sometimes, Mas Abi was also treated." continued Aruna made Sabda turn his head and stop his steps.
"Where's that squinty? How can?" The face of the Word began to stiffen. But he was so curious, why should there be an Abimana. But Aruna began to pull Sabda's hand back to walk.
"Loh Mas Abi right, used to school here. We're one school, he's just my upperclassman two floors."
"The real Mas Abi here. So while in college, he also often came back here."
"Definitely want to fuck you, right?" sela Sabda was so impatient with Aruna's explanation.
"No, Mas. Of course he looked at his eyes, but because we've been good friends, he always treat us, me and Tita when returning home from college semester." explained Aruna.
"If you pout later a lot of wrinkles on the face, Mas." Tempta Aruna made Sabda sigh long. Trying to calm down but that cold face could not lie if his heart was holding back jealousy.
The night was quite bright with the wind blowing gently, they walked towards the two-story house. After spending a while outside the house makes Aruna feel better.

Aruna was still arranging some of the items she would bring back home. For a moment, he stared at the contents of the room that used to be a witness to his turmoil in dealing with all the problems that befell himself and his family.
"Tok... Honey!" The baritone's voice made Aruna turn towards the door.
It is seen that the Word stands before a door that is not fully open. Seeing Aruna smile made Sabda step inside.
"We're leaving now, yeah! Later in the afternoon I have an appointment with the finance" said Sabda who was answered with a nod Aruna. The round-eyed girl was ready.
"Waahhh... was so cute that little girl" said Sabda, her gaze fixed on a photo hanging on the wall.
"Beauty, Mas. That's right, I." said Aruna by following the gaze of the man who was now next to her.
"The stomach? But, really, sweeter that little girl." There was no voice from Aruna, making Sabda move her gaze on a pouting face.
"Try here, Look! Just like his nose, his eyes are the same as his lips." continued Sabda. He stared at the photo on the wall and Aruna's face alternated. Not disbelieving, but the Word only teases Aruna.
"Mas Word's... " Aruna pushed the athletic man strongly, as the face of the Word drew closer to his face. The face with the fine feathers was only so thinly spaced with Aruna's face made the girl feel insecure.
"Let's go now" Aruna said with a look away. Smiling word.
Seeing that Aruna was about to bring a bag of clothes out of the room, Sabda immediately took over. The two went down the stairs and greeted Mama Hesti who was standing under the stairs.
"You have breakfast first! Mama has prepared." said Hesti, he will indeed approach Aruna and Sabda upwards.
"Did Mama, just come with us?" tawar Aruna's.
"Don't worry that Aruna's income can meet our needs, really!" aruna continued as they walked to the dining table..
"Mama trusts you. But Mama's calmer in this house." they began to have breakfast.
Breakfast was very early, as the clock showed five o'clock in the morning. They decided to go home as soon as possible because Sabda and Aruna had an appointment with several people today.
"Next week we are here again with Mama, Tan" Sabda said.
"Mama would be happy to welcome you. The important thing is to take care of your daughter. Don't hurt his feelings. She belongs to the only Mama." gesti asked the Word.
"Call Mama." continued Hesti. His intention was to give Aruna securities, but he still undone them. He will give it later as a wedding gift.
After finishing breakfast, they decided to leave. Aruna hugged Mama Hesti, making the woman whisper a message for heart and self-care.
The black luxury sedan slid out of the courtyard, Aruna looking at the waving woman as seen from the rearview mirror. Suddenly the sense of not being able to make his heart restless. He began to realize his affection for the woman who had been keeping and educating him a dozen years.
