"Ma, I'll go to the room first." Without waiting for an answer, Iki went up and climbed the steps one by one. Her eyes returned to glass. Her crying became even more so when she was already inside the room.

"Nina, why are you leaving so soon. We haven't even planned out how to go ahead." Iki explained. Sobbing, Iki stared at the photo of Nina and herself.

It's been a week since Nina left. And Iki had not been to school for a week and locked himself in his room. She's a widower, but a widower who's a virgin. Really, he did not expect, would bear that painful title.

"Fuck, open the door, honey. Don't be like this, son. Nina will be saddened to see you like this. Let's not the door, dear." Mama Riana advised. And kept knocking on his son's bedroom door.

Inside, Iki sat in her study chair, looking at her can not be separated from Nina's photo. "It's been a week, Nin. You've left me for a week." lirih Iki.

"Nina, I went to school first. You just calm down, I will continue your mind. You want to be a doctor, right? I will fulfill it." said Iki stroked a picture of Nina.

Getting ready, Iki put on her uniform. Not forgetting to take the bag, also tucking a photo of Nina behind the casing hpnya, Iki pulled a step out of the room. No smiles, no jokes or laughter. He's like a new figure. Until Mama Riana questioned it.

"Fuck, you're okay, right?" ask Mama Riana.

"Yes, Ma." Iki said briefly.

"Are you going with us to move to Bandung?" ask Papa Simon.

"No, Pa. I'll stay here until I graduate school. Pa, don't sell this house." pinta Iki. Nodding, Papa Simon agreed.

"Nina, I went to school first huh," Inner Iki. Seeing the helems that Nina often wore, Iki became sad until she shed tears.

"Sister, Iki–I can nebeng?" asked Sukini who suddenly approached Iki.

"Hmm," Iki replied briefly and handed the helms to Sukini.

"Did you forget, I can't wear my own helmet" said Sukini pouting.

Sighing, Iki helps put on Sukini helem. Seeing Sukini, Iki was like seeing Nina. "Sukini, enough today I just take you to school, then you ask Mama to take you." said Iki. It's not that he won't drive his sister-in-law, but he has other reasons.

"Yes," said Sukini.

Sukini riding on the bike, no conversation took place while on the road. Iki kept quiet, as well as Sukini who did not want to make Iki more sad. Arriving at school, Sukini bailed and rushed into her class. While Iki directly to the canteen Ci Wia. He took her a pack of yellow rice. Consider it a serving for Nina.

"Ci, the drink as usual, yes" said Iki.

"Yes, Iki." Ci Wia glanced at Iki at a glance before making mango ice for Iki.

"Nina, good-bye," Iki said slowly but could still be heard by Ci Wia who stood not far from Iki. Ci Wia shed tears.

"Iki, here," said Ci Wia then put a glass of mango ice. Then back to his place.

"Nina, wife. Forgive me for not being able to make you happy." Inner Iki.

The morning bell rang out, Iki immediately went into line. He was still standing in an ordinary place. But next to him is not as usual. No one else is standing there. Sadly, his heart was very sick. Sayup I heard someone call her, Iki turned her head, the shadow was like real, Nina– the woman was standing next to her. He smiled, like a sparkling white light.
