Heart Note

PART THIRTY THREE

Maybe this is the path God gave me and Leo. Despite the weight we tried to accept it with the airy chest, we could at least work together as Rio's parents.

After 3 trials, and 1 mediation, our divorce decision has been officially granted by the RELIGIOUS COURT. Everything went off without a hitch, including the matter of gono-gini treasures, all we submit to Rio, it was based on mutual agreement.

My relationship with my parents improved, they didn't interfere too much with the problems we were facing, for those important me and Mas Leo did not forget the responsibility towards Rio. Even after I and Mas Leo officially parted ways, Mama and Papa did not mention the matter at all, in order to keep my feelings.

And Papa also asked me to return to Semarang. In accordance with Papa's request before the matter I and Mas Leo were there for me to continue and lead Papa's company. With that, I have also decided to resign from Rangga's office.

"So when are you going to Semarang Yu?" said Rangga this afternoon who visited my apartment.

"The sooner the better" I replied.

"You're going alone?" ask Rangga again.

"Who else" I replied.

"I will definitely miss you Yu a lot" Rangga said.

"Haha..... You can" I said with a little shame. Maybe my cheeks look red.

"I'm serious Yu, I would definitely be lonely without you"

"Aah already... If you really miss, you can call me, or pesen ticket and immediately come to see me to Semarang" I explained with a laugh.

"I'll come and propose to your parents" he said.

"Bah... You're getting bolder huh" I pelted Rangga with a snack of fried beans.

"Why should you be afraid, now you don't belong to anyone else" he said.

"Yes yes... I believe" my ledek.

Rangga smiled to see me.

"Maybe I was wrong to be happy over your divorce" said Rangga.

I just kept quiet. I smiled a little.

"Hopefully you can quickly open your heart to me" he said.

"My position now is not easy to Rangga" I said.

"Yes I understand, I will not force you, for me, you know my feelings are much better, if you reply it is something that makes me even happier" he explained.

"Thank you very much Rangga for all your feelings for me, for all your kindness and your help to me" I said.

"OK, in exchange for me to drive you to the airport tomorrow after tomorrow, I don't accept rejection well" he asked.

I laughed and nodded in agreement.

Tonight after packing all the items I will bring to Semarang, I read a message from Mas Leo.

I heard from Rio, you are leaving for Semarang tomorrow morning?.

Yes Mas. My reply.

***Well, if you have time I want to see you tonight, would you like to?.

Where do you go Mas***?. Reply again.

***How about we have dinner, I happen to not have dinner tonight, if you want 30 more minutes I wait in the lobby.

Alright Mas***. My reply.

After replying to a message from Leo. I rushed to get a little prepared, using jeans combined with a shirt and denim jacket. Don't forget to polish a little bit of my face with a thin powder, and lipgloss to make it look a little fresh.

I rushed to the Lobby after getting a call from Mas Leo. I don't want Leo to wait too long in the Lobby.

"Mas" broom.

"Come.." take her.

I followed him out of the apartment building.

"Well, hmmm how about we take a walk at night" he asked.

"I mean on foot" Mas Leo seemed clumsy to explain.

"Yes well" I replied with a smile.

"You don't mind if we eat in the roadside carts" he asked in a soft voice.

"Yes" I gave her my smile again. Leo smiled at my answer.

We walk in silence. I was confused where to start the conversation, maybe so did Mas Leo.

"Well, we eat there aja yuk" asked Mas Leo, pointing to the rice seller and fried chicken.

I nodded in agreement.

Mas Leo and I walked into the tent of a street food vendor at night, in the tent was not too crowded. Mas Leo and I chose to sit in the end seat, after ordering food.

After the food was on the table, we were washed away in our own food.

"Well, so tomorrow you're really going back to Semarang?" ask Leo after we finish our meal.

"Yes" I replied.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the same story" I said.

"Yes, I understand" he said.

"Rio will definitely be happy you will return to Semarang" he said.

I'm just smiling.

"Give me the warmest hug for Rio as well" she asked.

"Yes Mas, of course, Rio must miss you a lot" I said.

"At least, you can make Rio happy, I'm also happy" she said.

"If there is time come to Semarang ya Mas" I asked.

"Surely it is, without you any mint" he replied.

"How about tomorrow I'll get to the airport?" bargained for.

"Hmm don't bother Mas" I'm gentle.

"It's okay, don't bother Yu" he asked again.

"The thing is I promised Rangga Mas" I replied slowly.

"The ladder?" ask Leo.

"Yes Mas, sorry Mas, Rangga first offered me" I explained.

"Jude, that's it" he answered.

"I pay first" Mas Leo stood up to the cashier.

We walked back to my apartment. We walked back in silence.

"Hmmm Mas, you don't forget to take care of your health" I said as we got closer to the apartment.

"You too" he answered.

"And also convey my greetings to your Mama and Papa" he said.

"I'm sure I'll take it" I said.

"Jaga Rio's fine huh Yu" he asked.

"Yes, you are calm" I said.

"I can anterin you in front of your room, right?" ask Leo.

"Yes, I can" I agree.

We walked side by side into the apartment building and took the elevator to my room.

"Thank you a lot, Mom, thank you for making my rubber belly" I said.

"Sama-sama, thank you also for making me dinner" he said as well.

Silent.

Leo pulled my body tightly around me.

"Well, come to me if you need" he said.

I just nodded.

Leo let go of his embrace to me.

"You should be fine, once again forgive me Ayu" Mas Leo clasped my hand tightly.

"Yes, you too" I replied.

Mas Leo nodded, releasing his grip on my hand.

"I'm home" he said.

"Be careful on the road, Mas" I said.

"Yes" Mas Leo smiled and passed down the elevator and left me.

Be ill.

But I have to be strong and used to it.
