The sky of Jakarta is turning yellow. The Surya will soon be pulled over to his contest in the Western horizon. Ancol Beach is increasingly crowded with visitors who want to enjoy the sunset. Including Kaina, Rosa, Rayshaka and Tito. After tired all day playing rides, driving around the boat, they finally mingle in this stretch of sand. Together in the crowd unwind.
Rosa and Kaina were sleeping with scarves and bags. Ray and Tito are busy with their cell phones.
"Woy, wake up in the cave if you want sunset."
"Here you go to sleep, wake up tomorrow morning."
"Damn it!" Kaina pinched Ray's arm hard. The man grimaced in pain.
"Lu can't stop torturing the cave, Kai? Your pinch is sick tau!"
Kaina replies with a stick of tongue, then ignores Ray because he is very sleepy.
A moment later he was already snoring a little.
When they woke up, they were already in the car. Lean in the back seat with seatbelt. Rosa was still asleep next to him. Tito was in the front seat and Ray was nowhere to be seen.
Kaina jerks reflexes guessing negative things. Rousa and Tito wake up and ask where they are.
"It's still in Ancol's parking lot, Ma'am. Mas Ray said he wanted to wait until the two of us woke up, we just got home."
"Oh?" Kaina leaned back in relief.
"Hey, are you awake?" ray opened the door and placed the grocery bag on the dashboard.
"Lu from where? Want dong, thirsty." Kaina immediately pointed at Ray. The man was pouring bottled mineral water.
"Where else are we going?" kaina asked while cleaning her lips from the rest of the water.
"We eat first, okay? Or have you been told to go home with someone?"
Kaina and Rosa looked at. Ruth didn't seem to be home yet, so didn't know they were still in Dufan.
"Let's go if I'm mah ...." Rosa answered.
"OK, come. Where's eating?" Kaina.
"At no seafood? To PLTU Angke want?" Ray started the engine and started driving.
"Early, would you like to pay?"
"Asm you, Kai. Don't unmask the cave here dong."
Kaina and Rosa laughed out loud.
"Yes, if you want to pay the cave anyway."
"Yes already, on me. But you stay yeah, make the dishes."
"Hm hmm..." Kaina answered with a cry and closed her eyes again.

Kaina's PoV
When he approached the owner, we were immediately led to one of the empty tables in the outer corner. If I think it is very strategic because it can still feel the gusts of the night wind and not sultry. Looks like he knows the one with the stall.
After that we chose a menu that was half an hour later everything was on the table.
"Please enjoy, guys." Ray posed as a waiter, letting us start dinner.
The night wind blows my face. I inhaled deeply while enjoying the food on the plate.
Suddenly the daydreams brought my brain around they replayed what happened one day. Of the many things that make me enjoy, my memory actually chose to focus on Hans and his fiancee earlier.
Ah yes, that woman was Hans' fiancee whom he had hidden from me for the past year. It felt like a fool had been waiting for him so far. It turned out that I had indirectly become a barrier to their relationship. They should've been married if I hadn't been in Hans' life.
Tiara, the beautiful woman is the son of the big boss in Hans' office. Since the first day of work, Hans had put his heart on Tiara who was none other than the head of the division where he worked. After I remember, that means it's been a long time. Two years ago. Even when he was very friendly with me. Still love to play in Bandung, still celebrating our anniversary and still promise a festive wedding reception for me.
Then one year ago they had an engagement without my knowledge. A year ago, exactly when, I didn't know. Before I quit my previous job.
Why should I cry now? Haven't I shed enough tears over the last few months just for the sake of certainty? Now everything is clear and we have ended it well. Why does it still feel like pain in the heart?
My eyes blurred as my eyes began to glaze over. As hard as I tried to hold back, but my tears still glided shamelessly. It really hurts.
"Bro, why?" Ray seemed to notice my silence and when he saw me crying without a sound, he was shocked. I just shook her head slowly so she wouldn't have to worry. With the corner of my eye, I also saw Rosa and Tito were watching me. Then, no matter who was commanding them, they resumed eating. But now it is silent, without sound.
Ray didn't stop watching me until he finished eating. He patiently thrust out a new tissue every tissue in my hand was already shabby. Tito and Rosa decided to go both ways around the PLTU area. Again, this table is very strategic. I don't have to be afraid of being noticed by the crowd.
After twenty minutes I was completely calm, until then this man before me was still faithfully accompanying me. Sometimes he looks like he's fiddling with his phone.
"Have you?" tanyanya. This time without a trace.
"Let's go home. You need to rest," he reached out and helped me stand up.
When he arrived at the parking lot Tito and Rosa were waiting. Rosa immediately embraced and rubbed my back so that I was stronger and stoic. It seems he already knows the story.
"Ros, show me the address, yes" Ray started the engine and drove.
In the end I closed today with a god-level turmoil.

Rosa's PoV
The clock in the room showed at two in the morning. Mba Ruth's house is quiet. Only crickets and toads sound earthy on the outside. Mba Ruth just got home at twelve. He said the meeting was bad because there was an urgent problem in the office.
I myself have not been able to be closed since I finished hearing Kak Kaina's story. Now my pitiful brother is asleep next to me. The face is still clearly visible with eyes that swell badly. Given each of his stories, I still can't accept what Hans has done to him. Being cheated on for two years, even to a fiancee!
I still remember how harmonious they used to be every Hans came to Bandung. I was so jealous that my boyfriend Andre wasn't as romantic and considerate as Hans. Hans, who was always worried about Kak Kaina's health, always gave support for his work, gave small gifts, until finally they lost contact for the last six months.
It may be true that Kak Kaina said earlier, it seems like they are indeed not a match. He already had a premonition upon Hans' last arrival to Bandung. At that time Kak Kaina found their couple ring - which Hans- had in the dishwasher sink. When confirmed to his person, Hans said he had unknowingly lost the ring and concluded the valuable item had accidentally missed while washing his hands.
And this is the end of his wait. Must be willing to swallow a bitter pill for the happiness and tranquility of Hans and his fiancee. I hope he can be stoic and patient, not protracted in his grief.
Ah yes, there is still Brother Rayshaka and Brother Ferdi who will comfort him whenever he remembers Hans. And .. I seem to like Ray's brother. He and Tito were the perfect heroes for both of us. Brother Ray can take care of Kak Kaina and patiently accompany her when she is sad again. I hope Kak Kaina can get a future companion to life like Rayshaka's sister.
And Tito .. hmmm...
