Kansha looked at Alan's sleeping face, folded his arms and piled his head over the folds of his arms. As time went by slowing down and the warm glow of fluorescent lights, Kansha continued to stare at Alan's face. When Alan wakes up, he may not be as brave as it was staring a long time at the handsome visual of this man of his dreams. And along with the chant of praise that he sank in his heart to Alan, his eyes closed following Alan who was exploring the dream world first.
Alan and Kansha fell into a deep sleep facing each other. Then shortly, Alan woke up from a deep sleep. As soon as her retina touched the light, the sight of Kansha sleeping in front of her touched her heart. Alan looked at Kansha who was so innocently asleep. Her ripe lips and plump eyelashes add to the elegance of this 25-year-old girl. In silence, Alan continues to admire Kansha's beauty.
Alan's fingers suddenly lifted slowly trying to touch Kansha's hair dangling from her face. As soon as Alan almost touched her, Kansha squirmed. Alan immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Kansha opened her eyes and wriggled softly. His neck hurt from sleeping sideways for a long time. He stretched his body when Seli came to him.
“It's time for lunch bu.” Said Seli then glanced at Alan who was still pretending to be asleep.
Kansha nodded as a gesture. Seli left them both. Kansha shook Alan's shoulders slowly with her face back against Alan's. Alan squirms and his eyes look back at Kansha now open.
“Come lunch.” Kansha's whisper is soft.
***
Kansha and Alan arrived at the cafeteria, and it appeared that all the employees were sitting at the table waiting for them. Kansha and Alan exchanged smiles with the ARC employees and sat down at the place Seli had prepared.
Lunch was also warm. Kansha did not hesitate to chat casually with her employees. Of course, Kansha was once a part of them, even though she is now in office, it does not mean that she has forgotten her old friend. Alan was no longer awkward, cool to chat with male employees. They talked about cars and fishing. They seem to have the same hobbies and likes. Be the talk they connect.
After lunch, Alan pamit dzuhur prayer in the mosque office. Kansha returned to her room. Shortly after, Alan arrived.
“Oh yes, I forgot to ask this. But aren't you working?” ask Kansha behind her desk.
“I was originally going to the airport, because the director called me. But he said he had an exit meeting so it didn't become.” Answer Alan. Kansha nodded in understanding.
“So, you spare today right?” ask Kansha again.
“Sure.” Alan nodded.
Kansha nodded in satisfaction, she turned off her laptop then walked over to Alan who was still sitting.
“Come, I'll take you somewhere.” Take Kansha.
“Where?” alan asked to stand up.
Kansha smiled mysteriously, “Look at it later.”
***
Kansha took Alan somewhere. They arrived at the courtyard of a luxury cafe in North Jakarta. After parking the car, Alan followed Kansha in with a puzzled frown.
Kansha and Alan are immediately greeted by Lisa, one of the cafe employees who is close to him.
“Mother is there?” ask Kansha.
“There, mbak. I'll call you later.” Kansha nodded and thanked me.
“Ayo.” Take Kansha. He took Alan to sit in the corner of the cafe and calmly waited for someone.
Before long, the person Kansha questioned came over. Lisa came with Miss Sari. Kansha stood up and hugged her mother. They're splashing.
“Alan, this is Ms. Sari, the angel I told you about back on the island.” Said Kansha introducing Bu Sari.
“Angel? You said what the hell.” Said Bu Sari laughing embarrassedly.
Alan greeted Ms. Sari, “I'm Alan bu. Friends Kansha.” Alan said with a smile.
“Iya I already know. We met once in the hospital. I don't think you guys are still in touch. And oh yes, this is the first time Kansha has brought someone here.” Said Bu Sari cheerful.
“Oh yes?” alan asked, glancing at Kansha.
“Mother, I've brought Nana and Kak Ruben too. Mom time forgot.” Refute Kansha.
“It's different.” Tukas Bu Sari ambiguous. He smiled cheerfully. Kansha shrugged her shoulders as Alan turned to her again.
“Sit first, later I bring my favorite food Kansha.” Said Ms. Sari.
“Do not eat ma'am. We ate at the office. How about sorbet and ice cream only?”
“Already, wait a minute ya.” Said Ms. Sari. Then he went back to the kitchen. Kansha and Alan sat down.
“She is still very beautiful.” Praise Alan.
“Yes, he's young. Just fifty years old.” Timpal Kansha relax.
“Fifty years?” Alan was strangled.
“What do you think he is how old?”
“Think, still young. Around the end of thirty.”
Kansha laughed at Alan's innocent tone. He held his stomach because he laughed. Alan looked at it. Is his word that funny?
“Actually you are not the first person to think my mother is in her thirtys. Nana and Ruben are the same. Many praised my mother's beauty to the point of not believing she was half a century old. That's why many men want to ask for it but he does not want.” said Kansha as soon as she finished laughing.
“So if it's true my mother is that old, you will join her?” kansha Goda.
“There is still a much younger daughter, why should she be with her mother?” alan said lightly.
Kansha looked up as soon as she heard Alan's words.
“You mean?”
“What do you mean by you mean?” ask Alan to be confused.
Kansha lowered her gaze and flicked her hand slowly, “Forget it.”

Nana lightly steps into the office where Ruben works. In his hand, there was a paper bag containing lunch. He cooked this day because he was on holiday. Plus this was the cuisine he made with full struggle. And he wanted to share it with Ruben and ask for the man's judgment.
Nana entered the room and was immediately greeted by the fanfare of the employees who were crowding. The curious Nana instantly broke through and when she reached the front row, she glared in shock as a woman held Ruben's hand tightly and spoke the word love.
“Ruben, I really love you. I've been chasing you for a year, and you never thought of loving me?” said the woman who turned out to be Diana in a desperate tone.
Ruben gave a rough sigh. He was really fed up with this for an entire year. If not because this was his uncle's firm, he would have wanted to resign for a long time. Just imagine, the memyeing drama that Diana was carrying, the shameless woman she had always seen every day for one year.
Nana who was fed up with the fake tear drama immediately came forward to block Diana who wanted to hug Ruben. The people were surprised Ruben and Diana were no exception.
“Mbak, sorry yes. Ma'am don't see how Ruben's expression is? He's sick of mbak. You know no? Basic have no shame!” hitrak Nana spicy.
“Nana.” Tegur Ruben pulls Nana's shirt slowly.
“Who are you?” diana asked annoyed.
“A-me...” Nana's speechless. Damn, he was ready for Ruben yes to dare to hit the crazy woman.
“A—aku his class sister!” reply Nana loud. Diana laughed at hearing that.
“Only younger sister class? Than you here and make a shame, better go to study, little sister.” Ejek Diana's.
Nana's face was flushed red, she was about to advance closer to Diana but her hand was held by Ruben. After that Ruben held Nana's shoulder and brought her closer to him. Nana who was suddenly given such treatment froze with a pounding heart.
Ruben stared at Diana flatly. “She's my girlfriend.” Ruben said firmly.
Everyone was surprised, including Diana and Nana, who were more surprised. He looked at Ruben with a look of shock. While Ruben was still staring at Diana straight.
“Cannot.” Diana did not believe it. “You cannot lie to me just because you rejected me. She can't be your boyfriend.” point Diana at Nana.
“Ya already if you don't believe. There is no benefit to me. What you should obviously know, I cannot and will never love you.”
Hearing that, a drop of Diana's tears fell. He let out a rude sigh then just walked away. Nana who saw Diana crying for a moment could not bear. However her position was the same as Diana, both loved men who loved other women. It's just that the difference, Diana is much more courageous to express her feelings than she is who continues to hide.
***
Nana sits awkwardly in Ruben's room after the incident. Ruben was brewing a drink.
“Thank you earlier you saved brother.” Reuben put the water for Nana on the table.
Nana took the glass and held it in her lap, “Supposed sister didn't do that. I saw that woman was very hurt.” Nana said slowly.
“You how else. My sister is tired of her love drama. It is better to be delegated once despite having to be hurt than not at all, then he will continue to disturb.” Tukas Ruben sighed softly. Nana nodded in agreement.
“Oh yes, what are you here for?” ask Ruben.
Nana gasped, she almost forgot the purpose of her arrival. “I'm here to bring sister lunch. This is my first dish so I want to ask for an assessment from brother.” Nana. He took out his food and served it in front of Ruben. There is rice, chicken, vegetable salad, and warm chicken soup.
“One-time inconvenience. Though not necessary.” Ruben.
Nana shook her head with a fluffy smile, “No trouble really. At first I wanted to ask Kansha to taste it, she's a cook. But lately he's been busy. So I asked the sister who tasted it. Oh yes, I have also bought pasta, just in case my cooking is not worth eating.” Nana said with a small chuckle at the end of her sentence.
Ruben smiled, he immediately ate Nana's vegetable salad. Nana gulps nervously.
“How is kak?” asked Nana curiously.
Ruben looked at Nana with an illegible look making Nana even more nervous. “It feels good.” comments Ruben. Nana is relieved. His smile was back up.
“Then try another.” Nana spirit.

Kansha was playing her phone while Alan was going to the toilet. He laughed when he saw a funny video on Instagram. Then the fun is interrupted when someone knocks on his desk.
Tuk tuk
Kansha turned her gaze from the phone and turned to the person. He who was initially smiling instantly let out his smile. His eyes looked surprised and scared.
“Hai, Kansha. Long time no see.”
