From the morning, the rain fell on the city of S. Karina who did not leave for the office, observed the fall of the water hitting the earth while enjoying a glass of warm chocolate from the balcony of her room. Her husband has gone to work. The rain, not a hindrance. Just a few sips, Karina put down her glass.
Karina then raised her gaze to look at the sky. Lightning lights dotted the sky. The cold air greeted Karina's body. Karina put a blanket over her body.
Before long Karina looked back, hearing someone open the door. Bik Mirna looked down respectfully.
"What's wrong?" asked Karina flat.
"I've noticed you have a lot of thoughts. Miss, the cold weather is not suitable for you and the heirs. I beg you to go inside," Bik Mirna said politely. Karina smiled thinly.
"Blue is my favorite color. Cold is part of my life. You understand me the most, Auntie. You've been coming with me ever since I got to this town. You know how I fought to this point. Aunts and others, are my family. Therefore, I will obey you," said Karina, standing up and smiling widely while next to Bik. Bik Mirna smiled wide full of sincerity.
"I am honored Miss," said Bik Mirna.
Karina stepped in and sat on the sofa. Bik Mirna closed the balcony and turned on the heating. Karina closed her eyes. Bik Mirna faithfully waited near Karina because there was no order to get out.
"By the way, don't you miss Auntie's kid?" asked Karina without opening her eyes. Bik Mirna looked stunned, never expecting Karina to ask that.
Okay, Bik Mirna and Mr. Anton are husband and wife. Bik Mirna, Karina hired her when she arrived in this town. While Mr. Anton, is a loyal driver Karina since Karina was still with her caregiver. Bik Mirna herself was a widow and had a son.
Unfortunately, his son offended Karina and without a doubt, his son was sent to an overseas petroleum mining area, as punishment. His mistake was to ruin the Karina family photo, which was the only thing Karina had. Along with Mr. Anton, Bik Mirna has no children because Bik Mirna's womb had to be removed because of the bullet that penetrated him. The reason is, Bik Mirna saved Karina.
"Where is Non, a mother who does not miss her child. But, I realize this longing I have to endure and I can only channel through prayer so that he is healthy always there until the deadline that Miss set runs out. Honestly, I can't wait to see it. How it changes after ten years," said Bik Mirna wiping tears that came out. Karina opened her eyes and glanced at him.
"Is there a sense of Auntie's anger at me because I separated Auntie from her?"
Karina's gaze was straight ahead. His hand reached for the remote and turned on the television. Not a channel broadcast, but the screen displays a video with a photo at the edge. Bik Mirna looked wide-eyed.
"That's your son. Ten-year-old boy I sent there, he'll be back in a year, won't he?" Bik Mirna did not answer and walked over to the screen. Gaze up at a close-up of moving images featuring the atmosphere of the mine and its workers. A 19-year-old boy with dark skin was busy unscrewing pipes to distribute the mines. Bik Mirna was crying and her hands were lying as she touched the man's face from the screen.
"Miss, is that Andri?" Bik Mirna looked at Karina with puffy eyes and hope.
"Yes, he's your son" replied Karina. Bik Mirna again cried, crying happily because she could see the face of the child even though virtual. Karina turned off the television. Bik Mirna stood up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Karina took a rough breath and stared flat.
"Miss, thank you. You've cured my longing. Then excuse me to come out" said Bik Mirna bowing respectfully.
"Hm, out!" sahut Karina flat. After Bik Mirna came out, Karina got up and sat in front of the mirror.
"Sometimes I feel very afraid of myself. I'm afraid I'm going to lose people who love me because of my past. My blood-soaked hand, is my way to a position in the underworld. The karma? Is it true that the disease that afflicts Joya is karma? Is this acute gastric disease and my psiskopat also karma?" monologue Karina with her expressionless face. The warm room temperature, just suddenly turned cold as Karina grinned.
Bik Mirna went straight to the pavilion where Mr. Anton lived while running. Mr. Anton was surprised when he saw Bik Mirna open the door and immediately hugged him. Mr. Anton who did not understand, immediately returned Bik Mirna's embrace while rubbing his back.
"He's handsome sir. I've seen it. Unfortunately, his body is thin" Bik Mirna said in between her cries. Mr. Anton's forehead frowned.
"Who is Mom?" ask Mr. Anton confused.
"Our son, Andri. I saw her in Miss's room from the live broadcast" Bik Mirna replied. Mr. Anton was stunned. Obviously he knows who Andri is, his stepson doesn't he?
"Can Miss do that Buk?" asked Mr. Anton looking at Bik Mirna's face.
"Mom doesn't know either. But, I feel Miss did that because there is a point of guilt. Samar, I see the cold eyes of Miss with regret," replied Bik Mirna. Mr. Anton looked in disbelief and gently wiped away Bik Mirna's tears.
"Whatever that's the reason. I'm glad to see you're happy. Another year, right? Believe me, it was a short time. Without us knowing, soon the moon will change and the year will also change. It turns out that not only living things that age, but also aging," said Mr. Anton, pinching the wrath of Bik Mirna's nose so that his wife's cry stopped.
"Okay, sick sir!" lamented Bik Mirna, Mr. Anton chuckled and immediately pulled back Bik Mirna in his arms.
"Mom, may you ask for my rights?" ask Mr. Anton doubtfully and expectantly.
Bik Mirna's face flushed in embarrassment and hit her husband's chest.
"It's still morning ah Sir, what if Miss calls? Not delicious, ambyar yes," said Bik Mirna timidly but willing.
"Not going to ma'am. Come on," plead Mr. Anton winked his eyes teasingly.
"Hm, how are you?" Bik Mirna was still without hesitation. After consideration, Bik Mirna nodded slowly. Mr. Anton smiled with satisfaction and was about to kiss his wife's lips. A little more clinging, Karina's cold voice called out to Mr. Anton. The two let out a rough sigh and smiled at each other wryly. Bik Mirna shrugged her shoulders looking at Mr. Anton's disappointed face.
"Let's go. Later Miss bersamuk loh," ask Bik Mirna.

Karina grunted angrily at the sight of her workers who were willing to warm up in the cold temperatures at work hours. He immediately called one of them and told them to come to meet him in the living room.
"I'm Miss" said Mr. Anton firmly and politely.
"It looks like the rain is soon coming. Car ready, I'm going to the mall!" karina's word is firm. Mr. Anton nodded and immediately headed for the garage to heat up the car.
Karina clucked her tongue staring at the departure of Mr. Anton.
"Rather than me dizzy, mengeningan me shopping," murmured Karina opened her bag and took the blackcard that Arion gave her.
Arion rounded his eyes to see the notification of the use of blackcards on Karina.
"Crazy! Shopping is she that much? Don't tell me if it's an obscure animal!"
Arion puts down his phone and refocuses on his work. Arion was only shocked, not complaining. After all, indeed the card he gave to Karina, it's up to Karina to be made what dong.
During this time, also Karina did not mess around. The nature of Karina who is interested and suitable is purchased if not passed. People have been seen and asked the price alone does not buy.
"Indeed, if you ask and bargain the price is definitely bought?"
That was Karina's answer when Arion protested against her.
"What if a lot of money can't bargain?"
It was also Karina's answer when Karina bid the price of an item that she thought was too high.

Tonight is Sunday night, Karina and Arion decide to have dinner outside. After Isya they went straight on the way to the restaurant where they wanted to eat.
The romantic atmosphere of the restaurant, coupled with the romantic melody as well, makes Karina and Arion really enjoy the atmosphere. The concept of a transparent glass roof, makes the visitors of this one-story restaurant can see the night sky children who are protesting. Flickering stars plus moonlight, adding a romantic atmosphere. The restaurant also has a dance floor. Seen, some couples dance with beautiful and charming movements. Reaping the admiration of the visitors again.
Karina and Arion enjoy the atmosphere while eating their dinner. No matter the eyes that look at them, Arion continues to feed Karina as well as Karina who feeds Arion. Fortunately, this restaurant is specifically for couples, not singles or singles. So, nothing will be blasphemed with the intimacy created.
"Look at the star and the moon, don't you think?" arion said, pointing his right index finger at the moon and stars that are clearly visible from where they sit.
Karina follows Arion's direction. Her flat face, now displayed a faint smile.
"Hm," murmured Karina.
"Very compatible, I used to liken the sun to the father of the stars and the moon to his mother. I imagined that the sun and the moon were separated. The star chooses to follow the moon, leaving the sun alone. Hence, the star only appears at night with the moon" Karina recounted her childhood memories. Arion raised one eyebrow and looked at Karina.
"Who taught you that? Just-there's. They are heavenly bodies with movements arranged by God. But funny is like that too. Did you make it from the hot nature of the sun, until the moon and stars can't stand to stay together?" arion's Comments. Karina nodded slowly. Arion flabbergasted, not long laughing crisply.
"Already! Don't laugh anymore, you're embarrassing me!" karina said annoyed with Arion's laughter. Arion was silent. However, an amused smile was still pinned.
Karina snorted bitterly and drank her kiwi juice. I don't know, since the incident he was banned from drinking coffee at the stall, Karina was even interested in kiwi fruit.
"Yang, don't sulk dong," Rayu Arion grabbed Karina's hand. Karina stared indifferently. The quiet atmosphere between the two of them. Arion turns the brain to restore Karina's mood.
"Well, you know how different I am from a plant?" asked Arion with a combing tone. Karina moved her eyebrows slightly interested. Arion smiled sweetly. Karina smiled.
"Of course you know. Plants can't live without light, and you can't live without me, right?" Karina raised her eyebrows. Arion gasped, and again laughed crisply.
His intention to overhaul Karina, even so crisp because Karina answered exactly.
"I exist too" said Karina.
"What's that?" ask Arion curiously.
