Later that night, Rocky is allowed to go home by a doctor. Donny escorts Rocky to his apartment.
During the trip, Rocky was silent. Donny occasionally glances at Rocky through the rearview mirror.
"Boss! Does the boss want to eat something?" ask Donny to break the silence.
"No! I'm not hungry. Just take it quickly to the apartment. I just want to rest."
"alright.
They arrived in front of the apartment lobby. Rocky gets out of the car, followed by Donny.
"Is there anything else the boss needs?"
"none. You gohome! You must be tired of replacing me with a client. We'll talk tomorrow at the office."
"Good, Boss. Then, excuse me!"
Donny passes in front of Rocky. Rocky walked to the elevator. He stood in front of the elevator waiting for the elevator door to open.
His memory of the elevator goes straight to Visha. How not? Their first meeting was at the elevator door and Rocky had to spill the drum that Visha had brought.
Rocky swearing. Why at a time like this his brain is only filled by Visha?
The elevator door finally opened. Rocky hit 20, where his apartment room is located. Inside the elevator, Rocky recalls a broken elevator and is trapped with Visha there.
Rocky reveals that he can't get Visha out of his brain.
Arriving in his apartment room, Rocky changed his clothes and threw his body into the bed.
He tried to close his eyes. But what he felt was only anxiety that roiled the heart.
Rocky rolled left and right looking for a good position to sleep in.
"Ah, fuck!!! Why do I always think about him?!"
Rocky ruffled his hair. "She's not like any other girl who's ever worked in a nightclub. She ... was very distracting to my mind." Rocky muttered in his head.

That afternoon, Rocky was sitting on the bench in the orphanage park. The children of the parlor invite him to play ball, but Rocky flinch and just stare at them.
I don't know what he's thinking. He insisted on taking Visha out of his mind. But he even came to the place where Visha was there too.
From where she stood, Visha could see Rocky sitting alone on a park bench.
Visha, who has not apologized properly, approaches Rocky.
"Hi, how are you? Are you all right?" ask Visha still in a standing position.
"I'm good." Rocky replied briefly without looking at Visha.
"I'm sorry, because I ... "
"No need to apologize. I've already cursed him." Rocky said cynically.
Visha frowned. "What's wrong with her?" ask Visha in your heart.
Suddenly a woman approaches Rocky and Visha. It was Sania.
"Rocky! What the hell is going on with you? Why is your face full of red rash marks?" without further ado Sania holds Rocky's face.
"Sania? You coming?" reply Rocky by removing Sania's hand from his face.
"Definitely your allergies are relapsing, huh? How could? You okay?" tanya Sania still did not see if there was a figure of Visha there.
"I'm doing fine. I was hospitalized yesterday."
"Thank God. You have to be more careful when choosing food."
"Who is this woman? He looks really close to Rocky." Visha wondered.
"Oh yes, Sania. This is Visha. She is Kak Galang's fiancee." and Rocky eventually introduces Visha to Sania.
"Eh? Really true?" Sania was quite surprised.
"So this is Sania's mom? Ibu Nur often told me about you." said Visha.
"You don't have to call me 'Mom'. It is precisely I who should call you brother if later you marry Galang. I can finally meet you. Never told me about you."
"Eh?" Visha was confused by this situation.
"The three of us are friends. It was about many years ago." explains Sania.
"Oh." replied Visha with a smile.
"Sania, let's get out of here." take Rocky in.
Sania can't resist because her hand was pulled by Rocky. Sania says goodbye to Visha.
Visha just stared at the confused departure of the two of them.
...π...
"How are you? You never came to the parlor. Did something happen?" rocky asked, breaking the silence.
"I'm doing fine. I'm just a little busy."
"You look skinny. Are you eating well?"
Sania chuckles at Rocky's question.
"What if we go eat?" bargain Rocky.
"Can."
"Sister Galang said the restaurant at Royale Hotel was very good food. How about we go there?"
DEG. Sania is shocked by Rocky's invitation.
"No! Not there! We ... just eat somewhere else." - reject Sania nervously.
Royale Hotel holds bitter memories for Sania. He doesn't want to go there anymore, even with different people.
"alright. Where are we going to eat?"
"How about at the usual cafe where we eat." Sania suggested.
"okay! We're there!"
Sania could breathe a sigh of relief. He develops a smile on Rocky so that nothing happens to him.
.
.
.
Arriving at their cafe while still a couple, they sat facing each other.
"The satisfaction is still the same as it used to be." said Rocky.
"Yes. It's like we're in the past." Sania replied.
A waiter approached them with a menu.
"Do you remember my favorite menu here?" ask Sania.
"Umm, what is it?" Rocky seems to think.
"Try remembering!"
"Pasta? You like pasta very much. Right?"
"You're right. You still remember that."
"Mas, we ordered two pastas and two warm lemon teas" Rocky told the waiter.
"Okay, please wait. Orders are coming soon." the waiter said goodbye after taking down Rocky and Sania's orders.
"Oh yeah, so you know Galang's future wife well?" ask Sania again to discuss Visha.
Rocky is lazy to talk about Visha. But he doesn't want Sania to be suspicious.
"Sister Galang introduced her to me a while ago."
"Oh. Then what was he doing in the parlor? I haven't had a chance to ask him and you've taken me away."
"He volunteers there." Rocky answered briefly.
"Oh. Looks like she's a good girl. Not chosen wrong. I have to congratulate him."
Rocky did not respond to Sania's remarks. Sania plays her phone and contacts someone.
Rocky, who saw Sania calling someone, immediately asked her.
"Who did you call?"
"Galong. I'll congratulate him."
Rocky quickly snatches Sania's phone. And that leaves Sania confused by Rocky's attitude.
"What's wrong with you?" tanya Sania frowned.
"It's okay. It's just .. we're together. So don't call anyone when we're together" Rocky reasoned.
"Oh, so. Alright. I won't call him." Sania recaptures her phone from Rocky's hand and puts it in a bag.
"DANGERS!! I shouldn't have introduced Visha to Sania. Can run into his business if Galang Kak knows Visha volunteered at the nursing home." said Rocky in his heart.
Then their orders came. No more conversations between them. Only a spoon and plate jangled between their eating activities.

*That's right!!! Rocky still cares about Visha even though he wants to stay away from Visha. Can Rocky really stay away from Visha?
