The two looked at each other and exchanged smiles. A flash of taste filled the recesses of the heart, crept slowly, and made their hearts rustle warmly. Love is too difficult to understand, until both are doubtful. Is it true that it is present?
"So .. Can I try?" Dirga again asked when he did not receive any answers from Dhatu.
The woman was surprised by Dirga's question and was unable to find the right answer, preferring silence. Blame only his heart that was unable to decipher a domineering taste.
"Do you really love your girlfriend?" Dhatu gazes into Dirga's bead of eyes, trying to find the truth there. Love cannot be divided, if you can share it, then that feeling is not love.
Dirga fell silent, felt the heart, but was unable to figure out the meaning of the stifling feeling of the chest. He should not have turned to Dhatu, but his heart rippled warmly every time they were together. He could not confirm the taste, but he wanted to find out first.
"I love Kana" said Dirga in the end.
Dhatu smiled sweetly, trying to cover up the pain that attacked his heart. He removed his hand from Dirga's grasp. Now, he knows, the heart cannot be forced.
"You are only lulled because of our togetherness, until your sight blurs. The feeling in your heart is false. When you face that woman again, you will not feel the same way about me. It was so the way the heart worked, Mas," Dhatu took a pause before continuing his words, "fooling often."
Dirga. I disagree with Dhatu's words. He is not that stupid, so he can be deceived by his own heart.
"Give me some time. I'll find out how this feels."
Dhatu smiled for the umpteenth time. "There is no need to rush to understand the taste. You'll be stuck feeling overwhelmed."
Dirga smiled thinly. He doesn't want to make such a mistake. He will give time to his heart. After all, Dhatu's words have a point. If indeed his love for Kana is real, then it won't be that easy for him to turn away. Perhaps true, he was lulled in their atmosphere of togetherness.
"We eat, yuk! I want to, we enjoy this time. Nowow. Without much thought."
Dhatu nodded in agreement. He feels the same. No need to deceive your own heart to enjoy togetherness. All they have to do is enjoy the moments of togetherness that are coming to an end.
The two ate dinner with occasional stories. Dirga asked a lot about Dhatu, as if this was the first time they met. He wanted to get to know the woman more deeply and somehow the story Dhatu shared made his heart happy. All this time, only the woman had been trying to get to know him, without asking. Now, he wants to do the same.
Now, he was happy to pay attention to the little things of the woman before him. Smile, laugh, and also the way the woman spoke. Relax, no one's trying to cover up. The woman always looks what she is. Unlike her Kana who always looks graceful and beautiful, as if it looks not herself. He seemed to not open himself, from how the woman told the story, spoiled, and now Dirga did not know why he began to compare the two.

Dawn dawns, days and also new hope for every person who meets him. The morning sun welcomed the warmth of the day. Dhatu's smile expands, witnessing the beauty that God is offering. The memory of having dinner yesterday kept playing in his mind. The softness as well as the man's words, made him feel that the man was two different people.
The circle on the stomach shocked Dhatu. His body stiffened for a moment as the man's head was on his shoulders. He was also unable to prevent his heart from racing wildly. Body stiffens.
"Good morning, Tu," the man whispered. Dhatu smiled clumsyly. It felt, his heart would immediately explode if the man continued to treat him as gently as this.
"Ma .. gi ... Mas," said Dhatu terbatu, "want breakfast?"
Dhatu nodded slowly. Join lulled in the arms of Dirga that not only warms the body, but also warms his heart. Can they continue like this? Settled in a fairyland and never returned.

Both of them held hands while telling a casual story. The young man who was waiting for the two was unable to show his surprise when he saw the considerable change of the pair of newlyweds he sent yesterday. The faces of the two seemed so relaxed, not seen forced, even enjoying togetherness. Apparently, Lestari's plan has worked. Abra had to report it to the middle-aged woman.
"Good morning, sir, Ma'am" said Abra as the two stood before him. Both replied to Abra.
"We're going to start the adventure today. Is it ready?"
Both nodded in unison. Abra smiled, then led the two to his car which was not far from the main door of the hotel.
Minutes by minutes have passed. They have arrived at the center of souvenirs as well as tourist attractions deliberately included in the initial agenda of their trip, so that both can buy souvenirs and focus on the trip after that.
Tourists can enjoy a different shopping experience in Bali because in this place not only presents shopping centers as in general, but the concept of education, entertainment, technology, and other, and the culture that melted into one. Places that make visitors feel at home for long.
Basket-shaped buildings and unique concepts become the attraction of this place. Dirga and Dhatu are queuing at the cashier to pay for their shopping.
Dirga frowned when he saw Dhatu did not use the card he gave, he prevented a debit card belonging to Dhatu that he wanted to give to the cashier. The woman was surprised and looked at Dirga questioningly.
"Where's the card I gave you?" Ask Dirga curiously.
Dhatu shows the card tucked in his wallet. "There, really."
"Why not use? Is it illegal for you to use your own husband's money?" Dirga was getting upset. If Kana likes not to play when asked to waste and use her money, the woman next to her is the opposite of Kana.
"I have my own money. It's also groceries for my family and friends."
Dirga hardens the jaw. "Your family is my family too. You're my wife!" Dirga immediately returned Dhatu's debit card, then extended his card to pay for all their groceries.
Dhatu grimaced at Dirga's anger, he could only duck beside the man. Dirga brought all their groceries to be stored in the car, while he walked beside Dirga. Dirga even ignored her request to help carry their groceries. He feels guilty. Is taking it his fault? He just doesn't want to be a burden to the man and doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Abra welcomes the two and keeps their groceries in the trunk of the car, then Dirga pulls Dhatu to visit the top floor of the place, where they can travel in Kampung Langit. The first widest sky park tour on the Island of the Gods. A place where there are many beautiful photo spots and also stunning art installations.
Dirga stopped his steps while in a deserted place. He corners Dhatu's back on the wall and looks at him sharply. Really, the woman knows best how to upset him. He was no longer able to hold back his anger because of all the attitude of Dhatu who tried to ignore the status between them.
"You always manage to piss me off, Tu."
