It has been a week since Alika's departure, every time Khalisa passed so heavily, for Khalisa every day looks gloomy, the colors are not as beautiful as usual, the sun no longer makes the morning bright, and the sun no longer makes the morning bright, even the night did not look beautiful in his eyes, since Alika was no longer with him Khalisa always looked moody, hungry stomach was no longer he felt, only sadness he could feel, just sadness he could feel, now it seems that Khalisa has lost the spirit of his life, he does not know how to treat his longing for Alika because they can no longer meet, if fate can hear it, he said, he wanted to go with Alika.
Every day that Khalisa did just contemplate in his home, he still hopes Alika will return home, Irsyad who can no longer persuade Khalisa can only be concerned about the current state of Khalisa, he said, he was eager to see another smile on Khalisa's beautiful face.
"it's night, you don't want to come in? the wind is too cold out here and you can get sick"., said Irsyad, sitting next to Khalisa.
Khalisa just shook his head to answer Irsyad, Irsyad really miss Khalisa who usually always talk a lot, now their house feels very lonely.
" you're still on leave from your job?". asked Irsyad trying to melt the atmosphere.
again Khalisa just moving his head, Khalisa looks nagging.
"do not you should start working, you are not bored just at home".
Irsyad thought that if Khalisa started working again, he would be busy and could forget his sadness, the Sultan should not give leave to Khalisa for one month, it seems like a long time, he said, it could make Khalisa more drowned in his sadness.
" do you think I should go back to work". said Khalisa who finally let out his voice.
"well, if at home continue you will feel more lonely, at least if you work will have busyness".
" well, tomorrow I'll be back to work".
"Khalisa.I miss you so much, may the Khalisa I know quickly return again".
" i am still the same Khalisa only my body is still there but my soul is either going where.
"why are you talking like that".
Khalisa again fell silent regardless of Irsyad's words, Irsyad felt sad not to know until when Khalisa will be cold to him, it seems he not only lost Alika but he also felt the loss of Khalisa, Khalisa, with Irsyad's teary eyes entering the house, he felt unable to stand if he had to linger near Khalisa, he did not want Khalisa to realize his sadness and make Khalisa's burden increase, he did not want Khalisa, maybe what Irsyad needs right now is patience.

Khalisa did not find the figure of Irsyad in his room, it looks like Irsyad has left for work when it is still 7 am, Khalisa see on the dinner table there is rice wrap on a sheet of paper on it.

There was a smile on Khalisa's lips when reading a message written by Irsyad on a piece of paper for him, Khalisa so feel a bit guilty on Irsyad because of his attitude lately, even though Irsyad still care about him, so Irsyad still care about him, Khalisa is very grateful to still have Irsyad in his life.
"love you too". muttered Khalisa slowly.
After preparing Khalisa to go to work this afternoon, in order to enjoy the journey more Khalisa prefer to take an angkot to the Sultan's restaurant.
It seems that it has been a long time since Khalisa did not set foot resto, it has been almost 2 weeks he has not gone to work since Alika was hospitalized, nothing has changed restored, nothing, still with the same atmosphere the last time he worked.
" you've come Khalisa". reprimanded Seo Jun when he saw Khalisa who had just entered the restaurant.
"yes".
" i'm so sorry about your son's passing".
"thank you oppa".
" you really want to get back to work, because Sultan's boss said you'd be on a month off work".
"i don't think I need that long leave, I'm going to start working again today as I told oppa this morning on the phone".
Oppa Seo Jun looked at Khalisa's face that looked as pale as ever, "are you okay? looks like you're not well".
" i'm fine".
" well oppa, oppa don't have to worry".
" well, happy working again". said oppa seo jun walking back into his room.
All the Sultan's directo employees were friendly to Khalisa and showed their care, so Khalisa felt touched to have the people around him who cared so much about him, they comforted Khalisa not allowing him to grieve, it turns out that Irsyad was right if he would forget a little bit of his sadness if he went to work.
"Khalisa there are guests for you in the pantry". said Boby one of his colleagues.
" well, what is it?". said Khalisa who turned out to be daydreaming.
"there's a guest in the pantry.
" O yes, thank you". Khalisa immediately got up from his seat and immediately went to the pantry.
Khalisa did not think that if his guest was the Sultan, usually also the Sultan immediately met him, why should he bother waiting for him in the pantry, the Sultan was just there, always acting as he pleased.
"Sultan" . muttered Khalisa.
"you are like seeing a ghost, you can't look ordinary".
" what's up?".
"why are you not as fierce as usual". seduced Sultan again.
" if nothing matters, I better get back to work". said Khalisa who was lazy to serve the Sultan.
"hey why haste once, it is better now you sit first". said the Sultan led Khalisa's body to sit.
" Sultan I'm at work".
"then".
" later Oppa Seo Jun will be angry if my work is not right".
"if he dares to be mad at you, I'll fire him".
Khalisa rolled his eyes lazy, how could he forget if the Sultan owned his restaurant, it seems he gave the wrong reason.
" Sultan I'm not arguing with you".
"who would argue with you, I just want to cheer you up".
" i don't need any entertainment at all, I just want to work".
"why are you so annoying now, so uninspired as not the Khalisa I know".Sultan said "does you not need a friend like me anymore?".
"it's not like that, I'm just being lazy, I hope you understand".
" i guess you don't understand if everyone's trying to understand you".
"what do you mean".
" don't you think about the feelings of those around you, as long as you're sad and sorry won't change what happened, everyone will die or be left behind, it is a natural destiny that you must accept with a big heart, rather than lamenting that has happened better you learn to appreciate more what you still have, lest you regret later".
Khalisa was silent trying to digest every word the Sultan told him.
"i understand how you feel, I was initially very afraid of losing but I finally learned that I would rather cherish the rest of my life than continue to cry for my own fate, I'm sure Alika will also not be happy to see you who are now like this, make Alika as your most beautiful memory, not as a memory that you always cry".
