"For a long time no see, Vera!" said Ana with an illegible face when they accidentally passed in front of the toilet room.
Vera simply commented a smile and nodded small. The pregnant woman stepped closer to the sink, washing into her two hands. His stomach is already very visible in the third month over one week. Ana stepped closer to the sink. Standing next to Vera, wash her hands. His eyes did not move from Vera's stomach. Feeling in the gaze, Vera turned her head to the side. Looked at Ana's face, her former best friend.
"Why?" tanya Vera.
Ana small groped. Their relationship feels a little awkward.
"You pregnant?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"How many months?"
"Three months over one week" Vera replied honestly.
Ana. Before bringing back his eyes to the big mirror. Vera looks sweet and shining since the fill. As people say, when a woman is pregnant. It will look bright and beautiful different. Was it like that before?
Suddenly the question lingered in Ana's brain.
"I heard that Leo's company is bankrupt" Ana said, reopening the conversation when Vera finished washing her hands.
"Yes, that's it."
"You look mediocre. Even though Leo's company is bankrupt," Ana said, "it doesn't look anxious and agitated. Though your family lost hundreds of billions of rupiah," continued Ana curious.
Vera commented a gentle smile. Always looks simple. Even though Vera is a simple woman. It can't be categorized as beautiful and sexy. However, the girl with a height of 150cm was always looking unpretentious. With a friendly smile, and easy to get along with. Not like her. It is very difficult to make a sincere friend. I don't know because of what.
"It's just Ana's money. No matter how much money is deposited by God. Time can go away and come back. What is the need to unsettle inanimate objects. What's worth breaking is if we lose the person we love and lose our own identity" Vera said gently, "as long as only inanimate objects leave. I won't worry about it," he continued.
"Even though money is a dead thing. But we could die without her, you know. And this is realistic" Ana said.
Vera nodded slightly approving of Ana's words. Without money man always thinks he will die. Many forget that God draws what he gives easily. It doesn't mean we die without it. Has not every man been given his own risk. What makes humans die is when they are too protracted to want to leave.
"Not everything is true Ana," said Vera, "we overestimate it. If it is lost, God will replace it with a new one. If not much at least, God is enough. And it is we who always feel less," he continued.
Ana's snide chuckling."You sound like a pious man, Ver!" he said, "without money there would be no pleasure and honor to be gained. What else is a time like this. You and Leo's brother are of course underestimated. In the past, maybe people respected you and Leo's brother for still having a lot of possessions. Times like this. I'll bet you and Leo don't have either respect or pleasure. If you want, I can help you. Think of it, as a friend," he continued.
Ana looked at Pongah Vera. Vera just sighed softly.
"Money can only buy a moment's pleasure not Ana's happiness. And good people if they lose wealth, they will still be respected for the kindness of Ana. If money can bring happiness, you'll be happier Ana!" said Vera immediately made Ana's lips tightly clenched.
Vera again commented a smile before gently patting Ana on the shoulder.
"Live well Ana. Find those who are sincere not with money. But with a clean heart. Then I'm sure you'll be happy." Vera's advice was sincere while rubbing Ana's arm.
Vera stepped out of the toilet. Leaving Ana behind.

"Cie! Who's getting married tomorrow. It's so beautiful" praised Nadia.
Zita smiled shyly. As for Vera, pregnant women can only sit on the bridal bed because they do not like to stand too long.
"Yes, obviously, her name is also the bride. The treatment before marriage is a lot. Hence, soon meet Nadia's soul mate. Let it be as beautiful as Zita before the wedding day" Vera teased.
Nadia sighed softly."Look for a mate is not like looking for a side dish in the market, Vera. Very difficult. And fear does not match the same thing that is in the mind," replied Nadia. The girl stepped closer to Vera. Sitting next to Vera with the face of the nelangsa.
"Hey! How come your face looks like that?" tegur Vera saw Nadia's face.
"You want to get married, but you're afraid of choosing the wrong one." He said with manyun.
Some of the people in Zita's room chuckled at the grievances of the bride's friend.
"If you don't want to choose wrongly, ask your mother's opinion. When taking a man home. And recognize to mama, because parents' feelings and parents' judgments are never wrong," advises Vera.
Nadia looked at Vera. Before hugging the body of the pregnant woman from the side.
"Thank you for the enlightenment, Ver!" Nadia said excitedly.
Zita just nodded slowly at Nadia's behavior. Vera smiled and nodded.

Vera sits on a dining table chair that is directly connected to the tiny kitchen of her rented house and Leo. The man seemed so focused on making food for his wife. Leo Yamato really did what he said. Being a great husband and at the same time a husband on standby for the wife. Homework is well done. Although there were a few mistakes. Good with strange food flavors. Or the way it hangs clothes that spend a clothesline. Which should all fit with the hanger. But even in the sun lined without hanger.
Leo is no longer confused about distinguishing detergent for washing clothes with floor mop soap. Can fold clothes and iron. In fact he was not shy about sweeping the house early in the morning just to lighten it up even barely making Vera have no homework. My husband has to work in the morning. Until the afternoon, Leo's funny'nya even look excited. All for Vera and their son.
"Done!" leo exclaimed the reverie of Vera.
Two dinner plates. One plate of cow's eye eggs with green chili and sauteed vegetable cabbage. The two dishes do not use food flavoring.
"The rice!" said Vera who wanted to stand up.
"Sit down!" tell Leo before the man steps closer to the rice that has been moved into a large bowl.
"Well! Looks delicious. The more days, the more the brother's artificial eating improves," said Vera staring hungry food made by her husband.
Leo smiled at me."Yeah, it must be dong!" banga.
They both eat with service. Sometimes small talk is heard to both. Even though life is simple nothing has changed. What is changing is getting better. Showing clearly what a Leo Yamato is like. Rich young master who can't do anything. Although a man who is more mature and makes many changes to himself. Fall does not always bring disaster. Like that couple. If you do not forget the word gratitude in life.
