"It's all done, just to finish the work that was delayed yesterday" muttered Aditya

It was still early in the morning and the sun was not shining brightly, Aditya was busy looking at his laptop and flipping through the paper he was holding.

Torlets...Torlets...Torlets...Torlets...

Fried bread...Fried bread....

Aditya looks out the window, looking at the brother of the fried bread seller who stopped near his house.

*Is it better to buy bread for breakfast first?* inner Aditya

Aditya stood up from his seat and walked over to the roving fried bread seller.

"Bang, fried bread 2" Aditya said as he gave a piece of ten thousand dollars

The baker receives money from Aditya, then puts 2 fried bread in a white plastic office and gives it to Aditya.

"Matur nuwun mas" said the baker

Aditya smiled kindly then walked back to his house.

Aditya goes into the kitchen and takes a cup of warm tea to eat along with the fried bread.

After being content to devour 2 fried breads and a cup of tea, Aditya glanced towards the wall clock and resumed his work.

"Italy..."

Aditya still continues to focus on his laptop without seeing someone calling him, without even seeing him Aditya knows who is coming to his house.

"Isn't it a holiday?" Dion asked while sitting on the sofa near Aditya's desk

"There's a lot I have to finish before Monday" Aditya replied without turning his face away from the laptop

"Okay, the spirit. I'm gonna take a break" Dion laid her body on the long couch she was sitting on

"Evening overtime?"

"Yes, I haven't slept in 2 days"

Aditya just nodded at Dion's reply, and continued to focus on his work.

- 12:45-hour

Drt...Drt...Drt...

Aditya looked at his phone and saw Keysa's name on his phone screen, Aditya raised an incoming call from Keysa.

(Call connected)

________

"Dit, busy?"

^^^"What's the matter?"^^^

"Can I shop?"

^^^"Later 14:00 I pick up"^^^

"Ok, I'm waiting"

________

(Call disconnected)

Aditya refocuses on his laptop, and finishes his work on time before meeting Keysa.

Aditya tidied up all his files and walked to the bathroom.

"Huh, my body is so tired" muttered Aditya while wetting his head with Water

After a few minutes Aditya came out of the bathroom, his hands were busy looking around for the casual clothes he was about to wear.

A little hairdressing and wearing Aditya perfume finished preparing.

"Yon?" Call Aditya while patting Dion on the forehead

"Hmm" replied Dion with her eyes still tightly closed

"I want to go out, if you want to eat wait for me to return or buy at the stall near the workshop" said Aditya, Aditya's view looking at Dion who just squirms responding to his words.

Aditya drives his car to Gunawan's house to pick up Keysa.

During the journey Aditya's mind is busy fighting each other, even he can not focus on the highway.

Aditya stops his car on the side of the road, he puts his head on the wheel of the car.

*Can I pretend like this? I obviously can't accept his feelings. But giving her hope* inner Aditya

Aditya calms his mind and returns to his car.

at the house of Mr. Gunawan

"Miss, Aditya's mas is down"

"Tell me in a minute I'll be down"

Bi Inah walked over to Aditya and told him that Keysa was still getting ready.

Aditya plays his phone for a few minutes while waiting for Keysa to get off.

After waiting for a while, Keysa walked over to Aditya. Aditya is aware of Keysa's arrival and wakes up from his seat.

Keysa smiled at Aditya, not with Aditya who just silently caught a glimpse of him before walking away from Keysa.

*After I tried to groom and be beautiful and perfect, she was still not interested.* Inner Keysa saw Aditya who walked away from her.

Aditya got into his car without waiting for Keysa who walked a little run after him.

"Where are you going?" Ask Aditya when he starts the engine of his car.

"To the Red Mall, all the way to the Awan's salon" Keysa replied

Aditya runs his car without answering Keysa's remarks.

Upon arriving at the Red Mall parking area, Aditya parked his car and got off the car along with Keysa.

Keysa holds Aditya's arm and walks along with Aditya.

Aditya was silent though he wanted to get Keysa's hand off his arm.

"Keyas!" Two men shouted from behind Keysa and Aditya

Keysa looked towards the voice that called out her name.

"Tia, Zahwa!" Shouted Keysa then released Aditya's arms and ran to hug his two friends

Aditya just looked at them with a flat gaze.

"When we meet Gini, how about we go shopping together?" Tanya Tia took off Keysa's embrace

"May be able" Keysa and Zahwa answered simultaneously.

Aditya follows wherever Keysa and his two friends walk, until the three of them enter one of the clothing stores with famous brands.

"Is this suitable?" Keysa asked his two friends

"Perfect" Javan Tia and Zahwa together

Keysa turned towards Aditya to ask for an opinion from his fiancee.

"Is this suitable for me?" Keysa's question showed the clothes he was holding to Aditya

*Isn't that too open?* inner Aditya

"It's better if you wear polite clothes" Aditya replied

"Whatchu mean? This shirt is very suitable and good for me, come on Aditya. Don't miss the train." Keysa said, turning his eyes away from Aditya

Aditya just looked the other way without caring for Keysa who was busy with her clothes of choice.

Until Keysa and his two friends enter one of the salons inside the mall, Aditya just waits for him outside and sits on a chair close to the indoor garden.

Aditya was busy looking around the park filled with children playing, until he was surprised by the arrival of Ardhan who patted his shoulder.

"Room here?" Asked Ardhan while sitting next to Aditya and putting down his luggage

"Sit down" Aditya replied briefly

Aditya's eyes unintentionally looked towards the paper bag that Ardhan was carrying.

"Daughter's toys?" Ask Aditya

Ardhan looked towards his paper bag, and smiled at Aditya.

"For my son" replied Ardhan

"Child?!"

Ardhan nods and recounts what happened to his former lover a few years ago because of Ivan.

"Your ex-lover was pregnant with Ivan's son the time before it happened to Reyna?" Ask Aditya

"Yes, back then I was completely crushed to the dark of the eye wanting to kill Ivan. But I realized the boy was innocent, and he needed affection. Given Ivan didn't want to take responsibility for his actions and his mother wanted to kill him because she felt he was just a disgrace, after I found out about the matter, he said, my brother and I took the boy as agreed with my ex-lover's family, on condition that the big boy won't interfere with the lives of my ex and his family and all his living expenses I'm responsible for. Although he's not my real son, but I already consider him as my own son and I love that boy." Ardhan

*People seem to have a sincere heart, even willing to accept a child from someone who hurt him. You're lucky little girl, have a father like Ardhan.* Inner Aditya

"Why do you suddenly ask like that? Don't insult me, even though I'm not young anymore doesn't mean I don't sell!" Shouted Ardhan while pushing Aditya

"Part of the child also needs a mother, she can't grow up with a father alone by her side"

Ardhan seems to think hearing Aditya's words, he justifies what Aditya said but fate has not sided with him until now Ardhan is still comfortable alone and traumatized starting a new relationship.

"Right you say, but how else would my soul mate still happyin his lover" replied Ardhan with a laugh out loud

Aditya just shook his head with a smile on his lips.

"If there's time to stop by my house, take Dion, Rosa, and Reyna." Ardhan said as he picked up his paper bag.

Not yet Aditya answered, Ardhan faced himself with a difficult gaze Aditya articulated.

"By the way, how's Reyna doing? I'm afraid he's a pediatrician" Ardhan said

"Yes, he was assigned to the hospital in town B. And the situation is now as it was before it happened."

"Lo met her often?"

"No, Rosa told me a lot about him"

Ardhan nodded then stood up from his seat.

"Gue came home first, pity my son at home only with his sister" said Ardhan as he patted Aditya's shoulder slowly.

*Good father figure*inner Aditya

Aditya looks towards the salon where Keysa and his two friends are doing the spa.

"Why is it all this time?" Aditya Mumbles

Aditya stood up from his seat and walked into the salon, looking for Aditya where Keysa was.

Until when he finds where Keysa and wants to go to him, but accidentally Aditya collides with a girl making the goods carried by the girl fall.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Aditya said, taking the girl's belongings

*He's handsome*the girl's inner

"It's okay" replied the girl with a warm smile as she took the item Aditya gave her.

"Once again I'm sorry" Aditya said and turned around to leave the girl

But Aditya's steps stopped when his hand was grabbed by the girl, immediately Aditya brushed off the girl's hand.

"Ah, sorry. I just want to know what your name is?" Say the girl

Aditya just kept quiet and looked at the girl, then turned his body and said...

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry" with a step away from the girl.

Aditya looked at Keysa who was still busy doing skin care on his face.

"Is Miss still long?" Ask Aditya

Keysa heard Aditya's voice, and looked towards his fiancee who was staring at him sharply.

"It's still about 2 hours, why?"

"You can go home with your friend, I have to go home soon"

"Why hurry, it's a holiday. Do you have another appointment?"

"Tomorrow I must go to city B early in the morning, I must get ready and rest."

Keysa is annoyed with Aditya who never understood and understood him.

Keysa just nodded and saw Aditya who immediately left after seeing his response without saying anything.

"Has he always been like that Key?" Ask Tia

"Hmm, she never behaved like a fiancee"

***

Aditya opened his car door, when he was about to start his car engine. His mind suddenly worried.

"What man left his fiancee outside on this eve of night?" Aditya Mumbles

Aditya decides to wait for Keysa, almost 3 more hours Aditya waiting for him. Keysa did not leave the Mall.

"It's 20:12, why doesn't he come out?" Aditya Mumbles

Aditya got out of his car and walked towards the entrance of the mall, while looking the other way. Aditya sees Keysa who is in the middle with 2 men.

*What does he do with people like that?* Aditya's mind while walking towards Keysa

When Aditya's steps began to close to Keysa, a voice for help was heard.

"Please get rid of me!" Shouted Keysa

"Gorgeous lady, have fun with us. Don't be afraid" said one of the men

Bruck...

Aditya kicked one of the men who was holding Keysa's hand tightly.

"Who lo? Don't interfere!"

Aditya did not answer the man's words, and gave a bogem to the man who still held Keysa's hand until he fell down.

"Br*ngs*k, get him"

Aditya fought the two men, so he did not focus and got a bogem on his right cheek until he fell down.

"Aditha!" Shouted Keysa

Aditya stood up and was about to hit one of the men, but his body was already kicked from behind.

"Run to the lady's car" Aditya said as he tried to stand up

Aditya looked towards Keysa who had run away from him and the two men in front of him.

Aditya stood up and fought the two men in front of him, until the two men were battered with him until mall security officers came to them.

"Hey!" Scorching security officers

The two men ran away leaving Aditya who was still limp with the pain on his face.

"You okay sir?"

"No sir, thank you" replied Aditya who stood with the help of security officers.

Aditya staggered to endure the pain and got into his car.

"It's that you're hurt" said Keysa, who wept looking at Aditya's face

"I'm fine" Aditya answered wearing a seatbelt

"Why are you still here? Didn't you say you were going home?"

"You are my responsibility" Aditya replied briefly

"Thank you for helping me Dit" Keysa said, hugging Aditya tightly

Aditya glanced at Keysa and ran his car.

"We stopped at the pharmacy first to buy red medicine and cotton" Keysa said

"No need, I'll treat it at home later"

Keysa takes a tissue to clean Aditya's wound. Aditya just grimaced a little and stayed focused on the road.

After arriving in front of the Gunawan family home, Keysa looked towards Aditya and held Aditya's cheek gently.

Aditya who was surprised by Keysa's attitude, immediately turned his face away. He made Keysa feel uncomfortable and let go of his hand.

"I went down first, thanks for today. Immediately treat your wound, I do not want you why. Good night" Keysa said getting off Aditya's car

"Good night" Aditya replied

After Aditya saw Keysa enter the gate, he immediately drove forward his car.

Aditya stops at a roadside stall selling crockery, and buys some food for him and Dion.

***

"I'm home"

"You want to starve me? Why is there no food at all" protested Dion who held a snack in his hand

"I've told you to wait or buy at the stall"

Aditya placed the food pack on the table and sat down next to Dion.

"Your face why Dit? I'll get you some medicine"

Aditya just kept quiet and closed his eyes, Dion treated the wounds on Aditya's face and hands. But Aditya did not give any response with the eyes still closed.

*He looks so tired, I think some days he's been overworked*inner Dion
