That afternoon, Johan came to a cafe that Erlita had reserved. After nearly half an hour of waiting, a woman in a blazer suit and matcha-colored cloth pants came over to Johan.
“Pak Johan?!” ask the woman friendly.
Johan turned to the figure of the woman he had been looking for a long time. The long-haired girl he met first in a meatball stall alley elephant mada.
“Include, Sir, I'm Sisil. Cecilia Judith.”
“Oh,iya, I'm Johan. Just call Johan because it looks like we're the same age.”
Sisil laughed crisply like a cracker ready to crush Johan's heart.
“What we've met before. It's like I've met you somewhere.”
Johan did not believe that it turns out Sisil also still remembers his face even though he had not met for many years. “Warung meatballs gang elephant mada.”
Sisil tried to remember. “Do you also eat there often?”
Johan nodded confidently, “Day Saturday, fifteen august two thousand nine. You came in a navy blue backpack and almost fell for crashing and spilling the last bowl of meatballs I managed to get that afternoon.”
Sisil finally remembered that day, where he hurriedly stood up from his chair because the rain seemed to be coming down soon, then he hit Johan who was holding a bowl of meatballs. Instead of helping Johan clean his clothes that were doused in meatball heat like scenes in the movies, Sisil just left Johan after saying sorry.
Though only a word came out of Sisil's mouth. It seemed like the voice could never be lost from Johan's memory until that day. And that afternoon, Sisil only found out that the meatballs he shed were the last meatballs Johan had painstakingly gotten for having to queue up to get them.
“Sorry, yes. I really don't know about it.” Sisil laughed remembering that old incident again. “Lain times, I will treat you to eat meatballs there again.”
“Deal.”
After being satisfied with nostalgia, they then tell each other the busyness of each until it does not feel the time is already night and Johan had the opportunity to drive Sisil to his house which was not too far from Johan's house.

The next day, Johan, Erlita, Kenny and Rania again held a meeting. That day, Nafan who claimed to have returned to work in a private company after resigning from pns, permission arrived late because he had to complete his duties first.
“So, how's Kak? Have you met Sisil? Did you investigate the track record? Her background? And how it works?” Erlita repeated the question exactly as Johan had asked.
“Udah, Ta. Your choice is always the best. I totally agree that you appointed him as our lawyer.”
Erlita felt a little suspicious of the face of her cousin sister who became more sparkling since meeting the woman named Sisil.
“What do you believe, you do not know Sisil?”
“What do you mean by rich like that, Ta?”
“Yakali, since you met him I saw your face changed drastically. From the zombie guy who never smiles now so friendly guy who can not be diem, a big smile I saw from earlier.”
“Lo believe destiny doesn't Ta?”
“why do you suddenly carry around destiny?”
Ting tong's.
A bell rang from Erlita's living room door.
And sure enough, Sisil was already standing at the door in a blazer suit and navy blue cloth pants. Johan immediately invites Sisil to join and introduce him to Erlita, Kenny and Rania.
“Ta, you know not, it turns out Sisil is a girl who is in a meatball shop elephant mada.”
“Ooooooh.....” an oh long out of Erlita's mouth.
Now he knew why his cousin had changed all of a sudden. Apparently he had rediscovered his lost soul mate brought by fate.
At least Erlita was relieved because now there was Johan's sister who would always help her keep Sisil away from Nafan, her husband.
They then started talking about the case they wanted to bring to the green table. But first they want to ask for consideration from Sisil related to the legal side of the case they want to declare. Soon Nafan came home and joined them.
Unusually, that day Erlita was very spoiled and unceasingly swayed in her husband's arms. He would not even let go of Nafan's hand. To the extent that they have to hold on like conjoined twins when Nafan wants to take a drink in the refrigerator.
“Honey, why are you acting like this?”
“Why? Do you want Sisil to see that there is still a gap between us for him to enter?”
“Honey, trust me. Between Sisil and I there's nothing. You don't have to bother like that, let me just.”
That time, replace Nafan who took Erlita's hand and brought her back to the chair. They then discuss their case seriously.
Nafan occasionally looked at Erlita's affectionate gaze then hugged Erlita who was sitting beside him. He then also whispered fondly into Erlita's ear asking her to bring him some fruit plates and snacks in the refrigerator.
Not only that, when dinner time arrived, Nafan refused to book a delivery service. He chose to cook his own meals for all of them with the help of his wife, Erlita.
Nafan taught her to cook, from preparing ingredients, washing and cutting vegetables to preparing dishes and other tableware.
Somehow such a scene looks very romantic and natural to Sisil. He saw how the couple laughed, blew the sore eyes from the onion, and splashed water washing vegetables while joking.
At that time he captured clearly the message that Nafan wanted to convey to him. Sisil knew exactly that it was time he stopped looking at Nafan and turned his gaze to another man who had been waiting for him for a long time in the arms of Johan.
The food is ready and they enjoy Nafan cuisine which is not inferior to the chef's cuisine in a fancy restaurant.
“It turns out you are a cook too huh, Fan?” compliment Kenny who is enjoying Nafan's cooking for the first time.
“Bener Sis, I was envious of Lita, when Nafan masakin I fit I nginep in his house. I think very lucky Lita can get a rich husband Nafan. I'm sure Lita's weight will continue to grow if you stay longer with Nafan.”
They all laughed at Johan's story.
“That's not because I eat a lot, but Lita is fat because she's pregnant with her child Nafan.” Cerosos Kenny with his innocence.
Nafan and Lita instantly choked together, while Sisil was suddenly very interested in the topic. Because according to the news that he heard the two couples were married for a long time but did not have a baby. Though what Sisil knows, Nafan is a type of family man who really likes small children. So it is impossible that he delays to have a baby.
“Quiet, hopefully not for long, right baby?” nafan answered while grasping and kissing his wife's hand.
Somehow Erlita felt that it was so romantic and touching that she unconsciously kissed the lips of her husband who was sitting next to her in front of everyone.
He doesn't care if Kenny who wants to run away with Rania suddenly decided to start their first night after seeing her kiss that night. Or Johan who had been a zombie guy for the sake of rediscovering Sisil finally decided to kiss first before officially dating.
Erlita only cared that she loved her husband very much and wanted everyone to know his feelings.
