Khaira walks into one of the distros in the mall. He made a pact with Diego to meet here after Diego went to college.
When Khaira was engrossed in seeing the clothes, she was shocked by someone holding her shoulder. Khaira looked at who it was.
"Mas Alby's...."
"How are you, Khaira, long time no see. It's more beautiful"
"Mas Alby is also more handsome." said Khaira looking at every corner of the room.
"You're looking for someone"
"I'm looking for a lady friend mas, the same one who mas street"
"I walk alone. Understand singles. No one wants to be with me"
"It's not there, it's not that you don't want to..."
"You want to be with him, you don't want to be"
"Mas can...."
"You're alone..."
"Yes, I'm waiting for Diego. See you at cafe X at one o'clock"
"What if you accompany me for a drink while waiting for Diego"
"May, the contract is yes..."
"What do you want, I'll pay you. Now you go to the cashier, bring the clothes you want me to pay for...."
"No, I'm just kidding"
"Khaira, I may occasionally buy you. You've never wanted me to pay you this whole time"
"But I'm so bad. One is what you pay, the other is me"
"Khaira, don't embarrass me dong. Later in the day I think people I'm stingy"
"That's not it, but I'll take these two"
Khaira then put the others down. But in Alby's custody.
"Khaira, please don't refuse. I don't mean anything. I sincerely want to treat you without expecting anything"
With a heavy heart Khaira finally brought her chosen clothes to the cashier. Alby paid for everything.
After paying at the cashier Khaira and Alby head to cafe X where he meets Diego.
Khaira and Alby order their food while waiting for Diego.
"Sheard you went to college out of town. You can know where...."
"Sorry, I didn't tell anyone where I went to college, including Atha"
"Why, are you afraid of coming and interrupting"
"It's not so, I'm not just going to college there. But I also teach at one of the Junior High"
"Great, while in college being a teacher. Surely you are often accompanied by your students, the teacher is very beautiful"
"Not really good, my students are good"
"You already have a lover...."
"I still want to concentrate on college mas, haven't thought there"
"What that means is that there's still a chance to be your girlfriend"
Khaira had not yet answered, Diego had interrupted.
"Mas Alby, how are you." said Diego to divert the conversation.
"Diego, when will it come." said Alby in shock.
"Don't take it too seriously, so don't realize I'm coming"
"Emang you knew Khai, when Diego came in"
"Not really" Khaira's great-grandson.
Diego chose to sit next to Khaira and hugged her shoulder.
"You're like a man dating Khaira, if I hadn't known you guys I thought you were lovers"
"That means I fit in with Khaira ya mas"
"Match it.." muttered Alby.
"Udah don't talk, the food will be cold. I am hungry too" Khaira said
"I'm hungry too" Diego said
They ate the food and then went back to talking.
"Mas Alby is back in Jakarta" asked Khaira
"Already, as I said in Singapore a year after we split, I will fight again to take your love back"
"But I don't think there's another chance" Diego said
"Why there is no chance, has not Khaira had a lover. There are still plenty of opportunities to be her lover"
"Who said Khaira hasn't got a girlfriend yet"
"Diego.." said Khaira looking at Diego's face as if begging not to tell.
"Why Khaira, is it true that Diego said. Do you have a lover"
"Mas, I can't tell you right now"
"You listen to me, Khaira does not argue. That means it's true what I said"
"Sorry Diego, I just want to hear from Khaira's own mouth. And let's just leave us alone for a second" Alby said, making Diego look very angry.
"I have made a pact to meet Khaira from yesterday. Or you'll meet Alby here too, Khaira"
"Not Diego, but I happened to meet"
"Diego, don't act like you're his girlfriend. What's wrong if Khaira meets me. If you keep this up, I could be mistaken. I think you love Khaira too" Alby said
"If it's true I love Khaira, it's wrong"
"Diego.could leave us two alone for a moment. I have something to say to Alby. You wait for me in front of the cinema first, I'll catch up. We're gonna watch it... "
"Well, Khaira, maybe you'd rather be Alby than me"
"It's not Diego...."
"Oh, I'm leaving. You can talk to both"
Diego leaves Khaira and Alby. He went home without Khaira knowing. After Diego disappears, Khaira talks to Alby.
"As I'm being honest, what Diego said earlier is true. I'm currently trying to have a serious relationship with someone"
"Oh, why didn't you talk earlier"
"Sorry mas. I can't be honest to say if I already have a boyfriend, so I reasoned I wanted to concentrate on college"
"Do I know that man"
"Yes, mom...."
"Diego.." guess Alby right away.
"Yes, mom...."
"Why didn't you just talk. Diego is very angry. Do your parents and Diego know. I knew from the beginning that Diego loved you. I've seen the way he looks at you and treats you differently. There was no way a sister would hinder every man close to her brother. It's been a long time...."
"Since we met in Singapore. Mom and I don't know our relationship yet. That's why we're still hiding this relationship. I beg you to be able to keep this secret until the right time when we will tell oma and mami. I didn't say that in front of Diego because I appreciate him, even though he's younger than me but still he's my lover. I don't want to mas and Diego arguing"
"To be honest, people who are not who you are are are a little difficult to accept. You and Diego who are like brothers and age far enough, can be a lover. Moreover, oma and mami.definitely more difficult to accept it"
"What's wrong mas , if me and Diego become lovers"
"Not wrong, just a little bit different. Because people know you're brothers."
"But we have no blood relation"
"Yes, I know. I can only pray that you and Diego will be happy"
"Thank you, for your prayers. I'll say goodbye, Diego will wait a long time. I'm sorry if I hurt you."
Khaira leaves Alby, who keeps looking at the woman he loves until she disappears from his sight.
"From the beginning I expected Diego to have more feelings for you, but still this heart cannot believe that and it is difficult to accept this reality. Khaira ...seems like this time I really have to throw my feelings far away..."
