On the edge of a road, which was quite quiet parked a luxury car, in an atmosphere of heavy rain. A white man was raining, crouching to change his flat tires.

"Basic, flat tires don't see the time. Where the rain is getting worse again." He muttered in his heart while continuing to dismantle the tire.

Suddenly someone approached the man. The man was astonished when he saw the pair of legs of a woman, the blind eyes of the man moved looking from the bottom up.

How surprised he was, after seeing who he was. The woman who stood up and looked at her turned out. "Racca?" while rubbing his wet face.

Caca smiled. Stare at the soaked Jodi. "Yes, why is it raining?"

"My car is deflated" said Jodi. Resuming his activities.

"Can, can wear a raincoat, no rain, Mas." Caca Protests. "You wait for the rain to subside, right?"

"It just so happens that you don't bring a raincoat. But if you wait, don't know when?" sahut Jodi while putting down jack.

"But, it rained loh Mas. Look at your body soaked so," Caca continued in an anxious tone.

"No pa-pa, why are you here?" ask Jodi without looking.

"You go home, Mas. That's my cab over there," his chin pointed towards the taxi parked not far away.

"Oh. How are your parents doing?" jodi asked after turning to the taxi Caca was riding in.

"Good, Mas." Answer Caca while keeping Jodi.

"Yes already. If you want to go home, the taxi tells you to go. You just come with me" Jodi asked Caca.

"Yes, later Mas. Just clean up the tires first," Caca replied back.

Finally, changing the tires was completed as well. Jodi's sweat mixed with the remnants of rainwater. "Alhamdulillah." Mumbled Jodi while rubbing her face. Then rub her wet hair.

"We, go home now." Glances Caca.

"Get in the car first, then I'll take a taxi for a while" said Caca asked Jodi to get into the car first.

Before Jodi got in the car. Jodi saved the tire he had changed first, then he went in and sat behind the wheel. Caca sincerely followed Jodi wherever he moved, until Jodi finally entered.

Then Caca passed by to the taxi waiting for him there. "Bang, just get here, this is the fare. Thanks Mas?" Caca gave him the taxi fare and took his bag of clothes.

"Together, Mother." The taxi driver nodded while taking the money.

Caca immediately got into the car that Jodi had opened from the inside. Caca closed her umbrella, then Caca kept it behind with her bag of clothes.

Jodi drives her car, after Caca wears a seatbelt. Jodi's gaze focused on the road he was about to walk through. In a moment of silence, there was no conversation between the two of them, except the sound of Jodi's car and the sound of other iron horse engines.

"Ehem, have you eaten yet?" jodi asked a glance towards Caca.

Caca who had been staring at the glass window on the side. He glanced at the man beside him. "Not yet."

"Where to eat at the nearest restaurant?" haggling Jodi without looking anymore.

Caca's eyes glanced back at Jodi who skillfully turned the wheel. "But, Mas's clothes are wet. Time to resto with such circumstances? I could catch a cold, if the balum changed clothes."

Silent!

"I brought clothes. It's in the car" Jodi replied as if pointing with the tail of her eyes.

"Really, bring a change of clothes?" search Caca. "The body is soaking wet."

"Bring, but don't bring a towel" Jodi said.

Caca pulled her bag. He opens it and looks for a small towel, then Caca gives it to Jodi. "Maybe it'll be useful."

Jodi stopped her car in front of a restaurant. Staring at Caca who gave him a towel, he did not immediately accept it.

"It's clean, the towel I just washed and I haven't used at all Mas," continued Caca.

"Thank you?" in the end Jodi received the towel.

Outside, the rain was beginning to stop. Only the remaining raindrops that will not wet the body. Caca asked Jodi to get out first, while Jodi changed clothes in the car.

Caca stood in front of the restaurant. Waiting for Jodi who is still in the car. And in the end Jodi catches up with Caca who is waiting for her.

"Yes, in?" said Jodi who looks neat, with a change of clothes. Not like wearing wet clothes.

Caca followed Jodi's footsteps who first entered the restaurant. Find a seat that is not too crowded, then they sit casually. And ordered for dinner.

"What message do you want?" jodi asked, looking at Caca who didn't see where.

"All right." Jodi ordered the same dinner as Caca.

"Your clothes are wet too?" jodi stared fixedly at Caca.

Caca's eye beads observed her clothes which were indeed slightly wet. "No pa-pa, just a little. It will dry for a long time."

"Hem." Jodi muttered briefly as she sipped her coffee. To warm his cold body was raining.

Likewise Caca smeared moca drinks that are still seen billowing.

Orders came, both of them directly devoured the dinner. While there was no chatter between the two, Jodi was too hungry. Likewise Caca without raising his face so focused on eating the food in front of him.

A few moments later. Jodi gulped down her drink. "Anyone is jealous? we're both eating here."

Caca raised his face. "Huh?"

"Yes, I asked. Do we eat both here and there are angry ones?" repeat Jodi back her eyes slightly glanced right and left.

Caca was silent for a moment, until he finally opened his voice. "No. Who will be angry!" While shaking slowly.

The smile on Jodi's lips was so fluffy. Netra her eyes stared fixedly at the woman wrapped in the veil, Caca. "Related?"

Caca slightly frowned, Astonished by Jodi's question. "Remain sure, why?"

"Ah, no. He asked, afraid that someone might get angry. Who knows if your lover sees us here, keep coming and thumping me He he he he ...."

Again Caca shook his head while mesmerizing. "There-there's a thing."

"Kan, just one time .. if there is no thankfulness. That's what I expected." Jodi continued to stare at Caca's occasionally embarrassed face that Jodi felt noticed.

"Yes, thank you? want to take care of my father, and now it's starting to change" said Jodi with pleasure. Given the condition of the father who is now starting to improve.

"Together, Mas. It is my duty to take care of each patient to the fullest. Likewise with your father, thankfully until fully healed," hope Caca while continuing to spend his meal.

Silent!

"Nr ..." Jodi hesitates to say something to Caca.

"If in the near future, your father is fully healed. I will fly to Banjarmasin, because I have been waiting for other patients."

Jodi shocked. His bead of eyes looked back at the entire place and immediately turned to look at Caca. "What?"

"Yes, right now. I've been waiting for another patient who asked me to be treated. But you don't have to worry, I'll definitely do my job to the end." Caca looked at her smile.

Jodi feels unwilling, if finally Caca has to go far away to leave him and his father. Even if his job is done. Jodi's gaze was more attached to the woman in front of him.

Seen Jodi's deep breath, then he exhaled slowly. "If only yes? supposing. There are people who really need your energy, em .. I mean need your presence here, will you undo the intention to go to Banjarmasin that?"

Before answering, Caca sucked his juice first. "I'm not leaving. When my job is to take care of your father, I mean Mas's father is not done." in the end Caca replied and was a little convincing.

"No, when someone else needs you." repeated Jodi.

"Em .. depends!" Caca thought for a moment, a bit strange with Jodi's slightly convoluted question.

Jodi's head lowered for a moment. He has to confess to his current feelings that are hoping for something in Caca. Not just for the father or the recovery of the father. But also for himself.

Then his eyes saw Caca who happened to be staring at him.

The deg!

His heart. Gurgling very fast. Caca was wrong and his feelings felt suddenly unreasonable, both of them bowed their heads. For a time there was no sound between them.

Outside, it rained again so hard. Decorate the darkness of a night that is borne by stars, which there is only a dark black night sky and continues to drop the water soaking the earth.

Until finally. Jodi is back. "If anyone was interested in asking you, would you accept it?"

Caca was silent for a moment. "If it is suitable and able to convince me, that he is really serious. I'll just want to."

"What about the patient waiting for you?" ask Jodi again and stare closely at Caca. Caca was deep. Not daring to return Jodi's sharp gaze.

"Em, if I were to get married in the time before leaving, I would definitely cancel and recommend something else" Caca replied. "Unless my husband lets me go."

"I won't let him." Jodi's Mumbles.

"What?" Caca gasped to hear it. Staring fixedly at Jodi who sucked his juice.

"Huh? ma-I mean I ... what is it? I forgot." Jodi was a little nervous and scratched her head.

Caca. What does the man who is now in front of him mean.

Jodi scratched his head which did not itch at all. Confused where to start? Again he took a long breath. "I'm willy-nilly"

"sorry. I'm gonna go to the toilet for a second" Caca said, cutting Jodi's words. He moved from his seat passed leaving Jodi who just wanted to express his heart.

Jodi's hand ruffled her hair. With eyes looking at Caca's back that is getting far away, but what can be done. He had to wait for Caca to return. Jodi took out a piece of paper and a ballpoint from her pocket. Write something down, then keep it under a glass of Caca juice.

Then, Jodi got up from her seat in a hasty step. Jodi came out of the restaurant and the destination was somewhere to go? He had previously met the restaurant and paid for all his dinner bills with Caca.

Not long after, Caca came back from the toilet. His eyes found Jodi's seat empty. Caca was wondering where Jodi was going, why not wait for her to come back. He asked her for a car and took her out to eat first.

Caca's eyes scanned the surrounding area, but Jodi's shadow was not found. "Maybe wait in the car times." Think Caca. He chose to sit back with the intention of taking a sip of his remaining drink. But when he lifted the glass there was a piece of paper under it.

Curiously. Caca turned around and read it, there it was written clearly.

Meal bill I paid, you don't go first. Before I go back! order when you need something.

Once the contents of the piece of paper and signed under it, Jodi. Caca's eyes continue to search for Jodi's whereabouts, but there is no intention to look for her. It was clear he was waiting for her.

Caca sat quietly. Waiting for Jodi to return, occasionally looking at the circular clock in her hand.

From far away, Jodi walked with a fresh red rose and was beautifully arranged in her hand.

Jodi stood right in front of Caca who was busy playing his phone. He had not seen Jodi's arrival before.

So he was flabbergasted, suddenly seeing Jodi standing near the chair where he was sitting.

Jodi smiled, with her hands hidden behind her back. He said. "Sorry. long wait?"

"Where are you from? you were so long. I guess you go home first" said Caca staring in wonder at Jodi who was still standing.

"Loh, I left a message on the table, didn't you read it?" jodi asked, frowning. He thinks maybe Caca didn't read the message from him.

"Printed paper. Read, read it. That's why I'm waiting here." Reply Caca with wonder. What's been here for so long? not just go home.

Jodi who was still standing, stared fixedly at Caca who was sitting in front of him. Then Jodi stuck her butt in the chair where she was sitting. "I, there's something to talk to you about."

Caca looked at it. "About what?" then he looked down with a wondering heart. What does Jodi want to talk about?

Before continuing the conversation, Jodi sighed. As if preparing to say. "Will you be my wife?"

Uhuk, uhuk. Uhuk.

Caca, who was sipping his drink, coughed, surprised at the words Jodi had said to him. Caca's eyes were wide. Can't believe what Jodi said just now. "You-you mean?"

"I'm asking you, will you be my wife?" repeat Jodi out loud. So that the person who was there turned towards the two of them.

Caca's mouth is gaping. Her beautiful eye beads started to dew. The blurred vision was blocked with tears inundating. And in the end it flows down the cheeks. "Did I hear wrong?" still wanting to convince his heart.

Jodi raised her hand showing what she was holding. He gave it to Caca. "You didn't hear wrong. I'm serious, I want to marry you. Make you my wife, where I pour out my heart."

Caca's heart was getting moved. Taking a bouquet of flowers, his cheeks wet with tears, he immediately wiped. The truth is that these tears are happy tears. In his heart, he was convinced that Jodi was a good and responsible man. And also certainly will not waste himself, like men who have hurt him.

Caca immediately believed that Jodi would be a good priest for him later. And there's no way Jodi messed with his words just now.

Jodi looked into Caca's eyes, which kept shedding tears. "Do you still have doubts about my words?" jodi's question made Caca shake her head slowly.

"I promise I will try to love you sincerely. And all my might to make you happy, certainly as long as I'm still breathing. I want to live with you now and forever" Jodi said.

Caca was still silent as she wiped her tears. Her eyes glanced at the rose that was in her arms.

"If you want to accept it or not, that's your right. I am just expressing my heart and sincere intentions. Because everything comes back to you," continued Jodi resigned.

Caca lifted his head. So that the eyes of Jodi and Caca meet for a moment, staring at each other fixed and friendly. As the two fell silent in a thousand languages, no words were spoken from their lips. In addition to the language of the eyes that keep talking ....
