The time has shown at 06.00 am but Aira has not woken up yet. Still covered with a thick blanket and hugging the bolster. Perhaps his dream was too beautiful to leave so he had not woken up yet either.
The light gray alarm clock on the nightstand beside his bed had rang several times but also did not make Aira wake up. And for the rest of the time it rang, finally the alarm clock was able to wake Aira.
"It's morning already." Immediately he turned off the alarm and glanced at the clockwork.
"Geez why it's this hour. Did you make me wake up at this hour? Huh?!" maki Aira to the alarm clock.
He immediately went to the bathroom and threw the clock on the floor. If the alarm clock had a life it would have avenged Aira's curse earlier, complaining of the pain of being dropped to the floor and possibly strangling Aira's neck.
Fortunately Aira was getting monthly guests so she did not miss her dawn, if it really happened then she would continue to blame the clock.
After she finished preparing herself, Aira immediately went to Keno's room. Wake up that big baby.
Chequek. The door to the room is open. He saw someone behind him and was tidying his hair looking in the mirror.
"You just woke up?" ask Keno who is still tidying up her hair.
"Have you taken a shower?"
"It's a habit to be asked if it's back."
"Hehe, yes sorry. I'm bad luck waking up. Oh yeah, tumben you can wake up by yourself? Usually it's still a slur."
"Actually before you go into the room and want to wake me up, I've built it first. But I pretended to still be sleeping." explained Keno while scratching his nape, maybe the bath was clean so still itchy.
"Oh so pretend all this time." Aira glared her eyes and shook her waist.
"Ehm it's time for breakfast let's go down." invite Keno to embrace Aira so she doesn't get scolded by Aira.
"But I haven't prepared breakfast yet, am I the bad luck."
"It's okay, just eat what's there."
"But it seems that in the kitchen there is no food, only utensils. Hows it? do you want to eat the pancakes, the frying pan, the stove, or something?" goda Aira squinted his eyes.
"Oh there's just that, then I'll just eat you."
"Don't eat me. You want my papa to kill you out of this world?"
"Where might he kill me, I'm his future son-in-law he loves me so much."
"Huffd...Well, he's not gonna kill you. You're his future son-in-law and dearly beloved by papa more than his own biological son."
They also chuckle. Arriving at the kitchen, Aira immediately picked up some fresh bread and some jam. Do not forget to make warm milk for Keno and make green tea without his favorite sugar.
"What jam do you want? Pineapple, chocolate, strawberry, peanuts? Let me smear it."
"Ehmmm..strawberry jam only."
Aira also took a piece of fresh bread and applied strawberry jam as requested by Keno.
"Why smile anyway?" keno asked as Aira smiled to herself while applying jam.
"No hehe."
"What?" asked Keno again and tried to glance at the bread that was being smeared with jam but Aira immediately hid it.
"Here let me see why you're hiding it."
After a small debate Keno finally managed to snatch the bread that Aira was holding. Seen bread that has been applied jam, but heart-shaped. He smiled and looked at the embarrassed Aira.
"Why are you ashamed, thank you." exclaimed Keno randomizing Aira's hair.
"Cieee the kasmaran from semalem ciyeee." - Mang Dadang.
"Pasih mang." said Aira.
"Ohh the bread uses the form of love everything again, make this baper aja you guys" said bi Ijah also chimed in.
"Wait, I took a picture for the memories hehe." mang Dadang also pulled out his phone and immediately took pictures of Aira and Keno who looked shy goat.
"It looks like you guys should get this award haha." exclaimed bi Ijah laughingly.
"True matching pair." - timpal mang Dadang.
***
"Sister, don't spit up" exclaimed the woman who is now having trouble carrying a lot of stuff in her hands and following the steps of the man in front of her.
"I don't have time ! Don't be slow on the road !" the thrill made the woman speechless to hold back the tears that would come out.
"Hiks, until when did Raka's sister treat me like this? I'm tired, I have feelings too. If it continues this way we better cancel our marriage that is only three days away." he explained and made Raka stop stepping foot.
"Don't cry, I don't like to see a whiny woman." exclaimed Raka and immediately pulled some groceries in Hana's hand.
"Why remain silent." asked Raka while Hana was still glued to her place.
Roughly, Raka pulled Hana's hand and invited her to walk again. Because it was time for lunch, Raka invited to eat first at one of the restaurants.
The restaurant he chose was Raka and Aira's favorite restaurant during the courtship. There are a lot of memories left behind. Raka also sat at the table that they often occupied first. The place where they spend the weekend together, let go of longing because of their respective activities. Joking, watching what they see and laughing at it. Small things but give a special impression to them. Really, I think he wants it to happen again. If only fate had sided with them, perhaps now they would be the happiest couple in the world.
"Sister Raka, that's not her boyfriend Aira brother huh? Um Keno is Keno." said Hana pointed at someone not far from the table they occupied.
Raka also turned to the direction Hana pointed, his heart back upset because he saw Keno with other women and looked so close. "Damn it ! How could Aira like such a man, a man who often brags about changing girlfriends. They hugged his mess. Just be careful if you get close to Aira because you just want to hurt her. I don't hesitate to act more on you." Inner Raka.
Meanwhile....
Keno and Frido are enjoying lunch at the same restaurant as Raka. And incidentally, Ellen was also having lunch there.
"It seems like tomorrow I have to come early if I'm going to have lunch here, a lot of visitors even though it's still at this hour." murmured Ellen.
He looked around and found an empty place for lunch. Unfortunately, the tables are full. He also wanted to go out to find another place to eat. When he turned around he accidentally hit the body of a man who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Miss Ellen." exclaimed the man, who was none other than Frido who used to be a close friend of Ellen.
"Hello Frido..."
"It's so nice to meet you here, how are you? Long time no see."
"As you can see I'm good."
"Thank God then, oh yeah are you done eating?"
"I haven't eaten yet, I want to find somewhere else. There's no empty table here hehe."
"Then join us, Miss."
"We?" Ellen scrunched her forehead.
"Yes, me and Mr. Keno. Come with me.." invite Frido but Ellen immediately stopped him.
"Ah that's not necessary, I'm afraid that if Keno gets angry with me later." said Ellen frightened, she still remembered yesterday that Keno was reluctant to meet him what else this is eating together.
Frido forced Ellen out of pity. Frido pulled Ellen's hand to follow in his footsteps. Unable to dwell anymore, Ellen follows Frido.
"Why so long." exclaimed Keno who was down playing her phone.
"Sit down Miss." said Frido who made Keno raise her head to see who Frido meant.
When Keno was surprised to see him, the woman who had hugged him yesterday came to see him. Quiet thousands of languages because they do not know what to do when Ellen sits in front of him.
"Sorry sir, I invited Miss Ellen to join me for lunch because she was confused looking for a seat and all the tables were full, I feel sorry for her" Frido said.
"Sorry Keno, I refused his invitation but he forced me. If you don't like it, I'll go find another place to eat." Ellen stood up from her seat and wanted to leave.
"Don't, I'm fine. Sit back down." said Keno ketus and without looking at Ellen.
Ellen sat back down. He felt a little happy because Keno allowed him to join even though Keno did not look at him at all. Ellen continued to look at Keno's face, the one she missed for a year. I miss the warmth that used to be. Treated like a queen by him, all his desires were obeyed by the man. But now the man was even reluctant to look at her.
He keeps his eyes on Keno and remembers all the memories he left behind during his two years of dating. Not even her tears were shed.
"I miss you, Ken. I miss you so much." - Inner Ellen.
"Miss are you okay? Why are you crying?" ask Frido.
"Ah I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Ellen hurriedly wiped her tears.
After a while, the food they ordered arrived. They immediately enjoyed it. Not a single word was spoken from the three, only the silence and the clinking sound of knives and forks clashing against each other on the plate.
"We're done Miss Ellen, we're going back to the office. We paid for everything, excuse me." said Frido politely to Ellen.
"Wait a minute, I have something to talk about."
"We don't have time to talk about unimportant things, you think we're not busy what !" ketus Keno looked dislikefully at Ellen, and stood up from his chair.
"Give me just a minute, hiks hyks." said Ellen started sobbing and held both hands of Keno hoping to be given a chance by him.
Keno brushed Ellen's hand off violently. But out of pity, Keno finally sat back down.
"Say !"
"Sorry Miss, don't make us wait long. Tackle your cries." said Frido thrusting a tissue box at Ellen.
"A-I want to say everything. Actually the man I was with at the airport was neither my future husband nor the affair. I just asked her to pretend." Ellen sobbed.
"Pretend that I let you go to pursue your career, huh?!" bentak Keno's.
"Yes, but..."
"True or not it doesn't matter to me anymore."
"Actually, I didn't go to Singapore to pursue a career and settle there."
Hearing him Keno is getting curious to get an explanation from Ellen again. He looked at Ellen for more explanation.
"You're gonna have a hard time believing this. But what I'm saying is the truth. I went there because I was sick and my family asked me to do medicine in Singapore to get the best treatment."
Deg. Keno and Frido's heart stopped beating after hearing Ellen's explanation. They looked closely at Ellen's face, looking for a lie from a face that had been wet because tears kept flowing but all they saw was honesty.
"My heart is troubled and my family doesn't allow me to do any treatment here. At that time I had no other thoughts but to die."
"So, I chose to cut off our relationship. I don't want you to get too hit if I die later, and I'm trying to get you to hate me. I also told someone to pretend to be my future husband so you let me go." she said, smiling bitterly.
Keno was silent after hearing all of Ellen's words. His heart was hurting, his heart was pounding. He felt so guilty about everything. His face was pale and almost crying.
"Why did you just say that now, I should have accompanied you there during the treatment" he said quivering.
Ellen smiled at the worry from her love, "It's not all your fault, I'm the one at fault here. I shouldn't have lied to you so you don't hate me hehe."
Keno hugged Ellen. Clutching the tiny body tightly, he had wanted it for a long time. Keno sobbed to imagine how Ellen could have survived this long on her own without her accompanying him.
Ellen happily returned Keno's embrace. Drowning his head in Keno's chest inhaled the mint scent of the body he had longed for.
"I'm stupid hicks. I should have accompanied you through it all." said Keno sobbing in Ellen's arms.
"No, don't blame yourself." Ellen was crying.
"I should have found out about you first, I shouldn't have ignored you, hysterical hyx." Keno is still sobbing.
"Hm, it's up to you then. You are like a child, look at the many who look at you. You're the president of Sanjaya Group, isn't it a shame." Ellen's lead was finally able to make Keno take off her arms and stop her crying.
"Then is everything okay? You've recovered completely, haven't you?"
"Not completely."
"Then why did you come back?"
"At first I was not allowed to go to Indonesia anymore, but because I kept begging and finally the doctor allowed me. I wanted to tell you, because I'm sure you must hate me. And it turns out that when we met yesterday, you didn't want to see me again" Ellen said.
"I'm sorry for my stupidity, I'm still upset when I think about that time." Keno lowered her head.
"Don't be sad, you can't be like this. If I leave, you don't be sad, promise me." Ellen wiped the tears that were still soaking Keno's cheeks.
"What are you saying !!! Don't say that, I don't like it. You're not going !!!" bentak Keno's.
"Haha, you're still as it used to be, grumpy."
"I won't change for that."
"Hm, I don't know how it goes. My heart won't last much longer, if I want to live longer I have to have a heart transplant. For that I'm not sure anyone would want to donate it for me."
"I'll find a heart donor for you, whatever I do. You'll live on, don't say anything like that again. Remember that."
"It's up to you, but when it's time I can't do anything else. Remember that, we can't fight destiny." Keno fell silent.
"Where are you going after this? I'll accompany you."
"Didn't you just tell me like this, 'We don't have time to talk about anything important, you don't think we're busy'. Isn't that so, President?" said Ellen mimicked Keno earlier.
Keno scratched his non-itchy nape. "That was it, now no, let's go where you go." Keno clasped Ellen's hand out of the restaurant.
"I'm not going anywhere else, I just want to go home. You go back to the office, your work must be a lot."
"There is Frido who will handle everything, today I will accompany you."
"You sure? I don't wanna interrupt your time, just go back."
"I'm sure, don't think about it. There's already Frido, why would I pay him if it's not useful."
"You're still as it used to be, yeah, make it hard Frido keeps haha." They chuckle.
Ellen and Keno are about to spend some time on this day. They walked around the mall and occasionally Ellen told me about her days in Singapore. And of course, Keno continues to apologize to Ellen.
"Ele, are you sure you're okay today?"
"Why really? I'm even better today" Ellen said with a sweet smile.
"I'm just afraid you're sick again" said Keno with a sad face.
"Oh yeah, you're going to buy clothes, shoes, bags, right?"
"You don't see in my hand a lot of stuff haha."
"You're as old as it turns out, you love to shop." Keno pinches Ellen's nose.
"Ken, I'm thirsty. It's a boba stand, do you want to buy it for me?"
"Of course, wait a minute and sit down and go nowhere."
Keno went to the boba stand. Soon he ordered two bucka cups for her and Ellen.
"Sir, Boba was originally two yes."
"Ready, wait a minute." reply the seller.
A few minutes passed and Keno's order was ready, and soon he paid for it. He walked over to Ellen. Just a few steps he stopped when he saw the drink he was carrying.
Boba's?
"Here's Aira's favorite drink, my God, why can I forget Aira in an instant." - Inner Keno.
The Keno becomes ungodly. Hearing the explanation from Ellen earlier that he did not betray their relationship made Keno happy. His love for Ellen seemed to return, but he had also given his heart to Aira. Even yesterday he said it. This really made him miserable.
"Thank you." said Ellen as Keno thrust her boba into her hand.
"Same as." They continued the conversation and spent the afternoon saying hello. Keno finally drove Ellen home.
"Thank you for driving me home, and thank you for giving me your time today" Ellen said with a smile.
"Same-same. I'm also happy to accompany you, take care of your health not to get sick again. If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me."
"Byee, be careful on the road. I love you." cried Ellen when she got out of Keno's car. Like two years ago when I was dating, after Keno drove Ellen home she always told him that. Waving his hand as Keno's car pulled away and gave his best smile as an introduction to his departure.
