Hi Kahi, I Still Love You

6.

This is where they are now, in the largest shopping mall near the Kahi housing complex. They enjoy shopping, choosing items needed for a week's supplies.

Lia was busy choosing chicken meat, while Kahi was playing with Juna who was sitting on a trolley containing groceries.

Sometimes they laugh together, choosing a favorite snack together to eat at home.

Over an hour or so they shop for the necessities for lunch today and for supplies for the week ahead.

More needs belonging to Juna are purchased such as milk and diapers. Now they're putting all the groceries in the trunk of the car that Lia was driving herself.

"mama, want ice cream" said Juna with his slurred accent.

"you need ice cream, wait a minute"

"Juna is like me mba, across the street like an ice cream shop" Kahi said, pointing to the shop across the street.

"by deh, Juna equals aunty huh. Mama will follow" said Lia.

"yes mama" Juna looked very happy.

"let's go Juna"

Kahi took the juna on his right to cross, but unfortunately the traffic flow that morning was very crowded motorized vehicles. Long enough to wait idle, but still not empty.

Until a man on a motorcycle stopped by the side of the road, right next to Kahi stood. He who was still wearing a helmet had made kahi afraid, but instead the man tried to help cross Kahi and Juna.

Because kahi was still in place, the man ventured to grab Kahi's free left hand. Kahi, who was unaware of her, still tried to remember the man she seemed to recognize in the face behind the helmet despite only being seen at a glance.

When he arrived across the street, the man took his hand off and just walked over to the abandoned motorbike by the side of the road. While Kahi, frozen in place. He continued to look at the man until his bike was out of sight.

Across the street where I was standing, Lia had already taken a photo of the three of them when crossing. It's a rare moment in his life to see Kahi with the same man holding hands again. It's been more than

The food was served on the dining table, while the guests and Kahi's brother had not come. She was already wearing Lia's knee-choice dress. Wearing natural make-up makes her look fresher.

Although the clock did not show the lunch hour, but the three people in the house were tidy.

"Mba Lia, they came" he asked, he was tired of sitting sweetly on the sofa in the living room.

"wait for the stretch, Hi. Ajakin Juna play first. I looked ahead" Lia got up and walked slowly towards the exit.

"hmm" Kahi moved to sit down. On the rug, play with Juna.

5 Minutes later, the sound of a car more than one was scattered in the yard which was enough for several cars.

Following the sound of people talking getting closer towards Kahi and Juna who were sitting in the living room.

"there he is Kahi, Ma" said Juan who came with a handsome, tall man and had a very sweet smile for Kahi.

Behind Juan, Lia comes with 4 others who seem to be Juan's friends at Rs. They all smiled kindly at him, he replied with a smile as well.

"hi, handsome" a 4-headed age-range woman immediately approached Juna who was struggling spoiled on Kahi.

"mba Rara, how are you. Gea was not invited" Tanya Kahi who had known enough of her brother's friends since college. The woman of the same age as the older brother smiled slightly.

"well, I just found out I'm pregnant again"

Kahi and Lia Kompak

"tokcer is actually the Jaelani" said Juan who was carrying a jar of snack contents for his guests.

"oh obviously dong" now who answers the man who is Rara's husband.

"Hi, know this. The best and famous surgeon Rs Xx Gemma Irawan Mighty" this time Juan introduced the man who had entered with him.

"don't overdo it, Juan. Gk as great and as famous as you are" replied Gemma embarrassed.

The conversation continued at the dinner table. Kahi and Gemma only occasionally talk which is always teeming with jokes from others.

"oh yes, Kahi already has a boyfriend yet" Rara's husband asked her. He was surprised at the question from his brother's friend. It might not be a secret anymore, if he has not been in a relationship with anyone for a long time.

"don't be asked that, shame her son right" Rara nudged her husband's arm. "I'm still at home for myself Jay mas" answered Kahi quickly. Everyone stared at Kahi and then took turns towards Gemma.

"it's perfect, what do you think. This doctor" Rara's husband pointed to Gemma who was still enjoying her lunch.

"what is it" he said confused. Rara, Juan, Lia and another named Doni laughed together. While Gemma stared in wonder at the others. Then his eyes met Kahi's bead.

The two of them lowered their heads together, Kahi hid a red tinge on her cheek. While Gemma is confused about how to behave.

Lunch chat moved to the living room table. Two people who still hold the status of single, sitting in an adjacent seat. It was Juan who asked Kahi to sit near Gemma.

"ah sorry so you graduated from B university in M city" asked Gemma after they had a little chat earlier. Kahi nodded once, she pulled the corner of her lips. "what majors" asked Gemma again.

"take the economy, mas. My own university is the same brother yes"

"yes, I'm Juan's younger brother. His junior was at college. But also junior in the hospital. The world is indeed cramped huh" Gemma chuckled.

"he's senior brother now, Hi. You don't know, he's a lot of fans. I lost that problem. So he's senior brother now" Sela Juan.

The two of them stood up as they watched the others stand up. Lunch time was running out, so the doctors returned to the hospital. While Lia was putting Juna to sleep in her room.

Kahi was alone who was cleaning up the rest of the lunch. He grabbed his cell phone on the dining table. On the screen that is on, there is a new contact number that has not been named. When the man asked for his phone number, he could not remember.

After finishing the rest of the lunch, let's climb the stairs. Go inside his own room to rest for a while. He put his body on the bed. His hand held up the still-lit phone, which still displayed the unnamed number of its owner.

He let out a long sigh, it was time for him to forget the past that hurt him. He is no longer young to choose. He chose to sleep now, and forgot one thing. Gemma's cell phone number hasn't been saved.

At night in the family room, all were playing with Juna who was relentlessly running around carrying toys. Kahi occasionally replies to messages that go into his phone. He looked at his long-overlooked social media.
