"When did you come here, Candra?" dinda asked as she got off the big bike.
Candra did not answer, she was busy parking her bike. Dinda who got no answer, resentfully took off the helmet on her head and looked around.
"It." Dinda handed over her helmet which Candra immediately greeted.
"Come," lead Candra along.
Not knowing what to do, Dinda resignedly followed the big steps of the man who had taken her to the place.
A simple food stall where the dining sits, and side by side with other guests with bamboo wall dividers.
"Bang Candra, please sit here Bang," said a young man of twenty years of age greeting him while pointing at the empty spot.
"Rame yes, Ram!" sahut Candra approached, and of course on Dinda's tail.
"Alhamdulillah Bang, maybe because tomorrow has started fasting so today people on stopping by" he said smiling happily.
"Woman, Bang?" tanyanya slow.
"No," replied Candra in short.
"Ah, don't believe it!"
"What ... Can I ask for help?"
"Please, ask for help what Bang?"
Dinda gave a look throughout the room. There were some visitors eating with his family, and there were also only two with his partner.
For Dinda, this was her first experience coming to a place like this.
"Are you going to stand up?" candra asked flatly, returning her consciousness.
"When did you come here, Mas?" Dinda asked back to the point.
"Sit down first" replied Candra as she took off her shoes and climbed to a slightly higher floor about twenty inches tall.
Sighing, Dinda took off the sandals that were not too high and followed Candra sitting down.
"I don't want to eat, Candra!" said Dinda guessed will be invited to eat.
"Don't ge'er, you."
Dinda quiet.
"It's Bang." The young man came again with a bowl filled with ice cubes and a piece of cloth.
"Thank you, Rama." Candra immediately welcomed the two objects.
"Together, Bang. Do you want to eat all of them?" emuda's name was Rama.
"For now not Ram, but you can make a drink, right?"
"Can it be, like get used to? Ice tea ...! Two?" rama and Candra asked.
"Wait a minute." Rama passed away leaving them both.
"Here, compress your forehead first." Candra handed me the ice cubes that had been wrapped in cloth earlier.
Now Dinda understands why Candra brought her to the place. Hesitating while holding back the embarrassment Dinda took it and compressed her forehead.
Sitting side by side with a distance of one meter, in fact can still be heard by Candra when Dinda grimaced in pain.
"It's Bang."
Two glasses of iced tea came and were placed in front of them.
"Thank you" replied Dinda and Candra together.
"Sama-sama, excuse me Bang. If there is a need, just call me" he said politely.
"Yes." Yeah."
Leaving the iced tea in place, Dinda resumed her painful but comfortable activities.
"Did anyone hit you?" suddenly Candra asked, making Dinda turn to her.
"Yes," Dinda replied short and honest.
"Do you remember, with the plate that hit you?"
Understanding the purpose of this conversation, Dinda straightened out immediately.
"I remember, but I don't want to report it!"
"Why?" ask Candra to find out.
"It's okay, I just don't want to prolong the problem."
Dinda glanced at Candra who was also glancing at her, hurriedly Dinda turned and drank her iced tea.
It is impossible for Dinda to report a woman she knows is also in a complicated relationship with Candra. Maybe he will get more involved and know what Dinda does not want to know from both.
"Is it better?"
Dinda jerks little. "Lumayan," Dinda replied short and quick.
"Good, I'll take you home. ... Ramah!!" candra said while switching to calling Rama.
"Yes, Bang?"
"It." Candra handed over fifty thousand in cash.
"So soon, I'll take the change." Rama turned around but his steps were restrained.
"No need, just take it for you."
"Wahh, thank you Bang" said Rama smiling happily.
"Together, we go home first." Candra put up the shoes, Dinda who saw immediately stood up and immediately put up her back.

As promised by Candra, He drove Dinda home to Mother Vita who immediately received a warm welcome.
"Well, my dear Candra .. Why haven't you been here for so long?" ask Mother Vita on the porch of her house.
"Yes, again busy Auntie," replied Candra smiling thinly and shaking hands.
"Adin, why can't you go home with Candra?" ask Mother who also shouts Dinda.
"There was a minor incident, so the car had to be taken to the garage! Coincidentally Mas Candra passed by, and nawarin Adin hitchhiked, Mommy," explained Dinda did not say about the accident she had experienced.
"Oh, that!"
While Dinda was busy with her story accidentally meeting Candra on Mother Vita, Candra looked at her fixedly and unblinkingly.
There's something Candra thinks, and I don't know what.
"Son Candra, let's go in first!"
Mother Vita's voice broke her daydream. "Thank you Auntie, but I have to leave soon. Since there is little need," reject Candra subtly.
"All right, but next time visit again? Or later, join the iftar here?" sulan Vita is happy.
"God willing, Aunt. Thank you for the invitation, I'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum," said Candra.
"Getishalight."
Dinda and Vita stared at Candra's wide and burly back which slowly moved away
"Let's go in, baby."

The time is rolling so fast, the clock is four o'clock in the afternoon. Adit came to pick up Dinda, to take her for the walks she said she had been taking this afternoon.
Dinda gladly accepted the invitation. Now both are stopping at a restaurant available in a Mall the largest in the city.
Adit deliberately chose the restaurant, even though Dinda has a restaurant but she wants to walk together.
"I'm going to tell my mom about you. All this time I was too busy, and had not had time to see Mama," Adit said after the waiter left with a note of their order.
"I Mas? Why tell me about myself?" ask Dinda in panic.
"Of course ..you, my future wife, are" Adit said with a smile.
Dinda is silent, it is undeniable that she feels happy even though the relationship is unclear. However, now Adit has made it clear who he is for the man in front of him.
Suddenly something shook his mind. "But my idah, not yet to Mas," said Dinda lirih.
"Isn't it too soon?" continues asking.
"Your idah is done approaching Lebaran, right? I'd better tell Mama now, so fit lebaran stay lamar," said Adit lightly but not with Dinda.
"What if ... if yes, Mas," said Dinda hesitated, but she had to say.
"If what?" adit asked quickly to coincide the waiter came carrying their order.
"What?" ask Adit again after the waiter leaves.
"If .... Mas Adit's parents were against our relationship because of my status, then what would Mas do?"
CONNECT ....
