It turns out, when you love a woman you'll be happy.

Ragil will be back at work today. He'll be back on the overseas land. For more than two weeks he always accompanied Mom who went back and forth to the hospital for therapy, until he did not have time to meet anyone here. So before He really came back, He wanted to visit somewhere. A place where a person is, which will probably be the port of his heart. After a dozen events hit him alternately, Ragil finally decided what he would do. He will try to talk, heart to heart, about a feeling that may have been hiding for a long time.

Ragil tidied up his backpack. The suitcase that He brought when he returned home he sent through the delivery service to his work mess. He said goodbye to Mother before finally getting into the car driven by Mr. Ganjar. After he closed the door, the car drove away from the house in the small alley, breezing off on the road. In it, Ragil keeps floating his thoughts to a girl far away. His fantasies had flown with the roar of the car engine that carried him. All the scenes he dreamed of were circling. No, it was no longer the memories he had imagined at this time. Except for all the future events that He designed himself to fulfill his image.

Not to Jakarta, Ragil chose a flight from his city to Bandung. For approximately 75 minutes flight, he arrived at Husein Sastranegara airport. Immediately he ordered a taxi Online to take him to a place. A notification appeared on his smartphone, showing the information of the car and the driver who will be driving him had arrived. In a hurry he took himself walking towards a waiting Honda Mobilio.

The online taxi car Ragil boarded began to enter an area of a famous campus in the city of Bandung. Ragil gives a message to drop it off in front of the lobby of a faculty building. The driver who understood immediately nodded and smiled through the rearview mirror.

"Take it back, sir" said Ragil when he got off while carrying a backpack on his back.

As the shoots are loved, the ulampun arrives. The girl he wanted to meet was standing not far from him. It seems like he is talking to students who are taking his assistant classes. Ragil stepped closer, eroding the distance between them.

"Azka" Call him when the two students who had talked with Azka had resigned themselves. Feeling his name being called, Azkapun turned his head, looking for the figure that became the source of the voice call. How surprised Azka was, to find Ragil standing before her.

"Rabella?"

"Hi" said Ragil casually.

"W-What are you doing here?" Azka could not cover her surprise.

"You meet a beautiful girl" he said as he approached.

"girls? Who?" ask Azka curiously

"You"

"Huh??" The blush! There was something wrong with her after hearing Ragil's words. A feeling filled his chest. There was a tickling taste in his stomach as if there were thousands of butterflies flying. Soon Azka regained her senses. Put on a face as normal as possible. A fool with his face reddened. Azka felt like she wanted to immediately escape from her current place if only she could.

"Would you like to see me?" tanya Azka finally, after a few seconds she struggled against the beat in her chest that almost managed to ravage her.

"Yes, he said I can ngunjungin Lo" Ragil still looks relaxed. A smile continued to expand on his face.

"O-Oh, I-Yes, I can. We to—" Azka nervous. He has no idea where to take Ragil. This campus!! It doesn't feel possible if he has to chat around here with Ragil. But where?

"Where are you, just as you are" Again! He had only met this man in front of him for a moment, but his heart was almost removed from its place.

So, they both ended up here. A tourist spot in the city center that is commonly used to spend vacation time with family. They sat in a long garden chair under a shady tree.

"You just got to be?" Azka asked looking at the appearance of Ragil carrying a backpack on his back.

"Yes, it's new. Sampe Husein went straight to Campus Lo. Fortunately Lo was in front, I just thought I had to look at Lo while looking at these people" he said cheerfully

"Have you eaten?" of the many questions, the question of 'already eaten yet' is actually chosen to be thrown to the man next to him.

"The man was at home" he answered lightly.

"At home?" azka's eyebrows swooped down, "Before leaving you mean? That's Gil's breakfast!" said Azka who understood the meaning.

"Hehehehe, It's okay, later it's easy to eat mah"

"That's okay, let's eat!" invite Azka who suddenly stood up by pulling Ragil's arm. Ragil whose hand was pulled just silently looked at his arm that was already hanging in the air. Feeling that the person being invited did not move, Azka turned around. He found Ragil who was surprised to see his arm. Hurry Azka release her grip on Ragil's arm. He cleared his throat, then folded his hands in front of the chest "Come on, sneak. Later if you are sick you can bother" said Azka began to walk away from Ragil.

"Before this, I went to Bandung" Ragil started a conversation after they arrived, "But baby, I didn't see Lo Ka. Though the main destination to Bandung want to meet Lo"

"Why is that?"

"Gue even met Tama. Trus he did not even get me because he said lo again the same girlfriend" Ragil looked up, his eyes glared far away.

"Why didn't you call me first?" Ah, Yes! That's Ragil's stupidity. He immediately decided to return to Jakarta after meeting Saga at that time.

"Well, that's stupidly I'm Ka" as if He couldn't just curse in the heart. "That might not be Lo's girlfriend, right?" He chuckles

"Yes. Where are you after that? Why don't you call me if you're nitip something Saga?" Ah, calling that name feels like Azka's heart is now really sliced.

"What? Song lyrics? Yes Good. That's Sheila on seven, isn't it?" tanya Azka covered her feelings. It feels like his heart has now been crushed to hear all Ragil's words about the memories.

"Yes, hemmh I've been gawking at Lo for too long huh?"

"Huh?" Again, Azka was surprised by what Ragil said.

"Gue took too long?" reangat Ragil looked at Azka in "Padahal Lo have been waiting for a long time I right! Even when Lo told me your feelings for Me, I still didn't have the courage to do anything" He regretted

"Where have you been all this time?" Azka's voice choked, it seemed that one question already represented what he wanted to ask the man before him.

"Lo wait a minute?" Ragil took a deep breath, then slowly He shifted his hand to hold Azka's hand outstretched on the table, "Gue's late isn't it, Ka?" Azka was aghast as her hand was suddenly grabbed by Ragil. Because of his actions, Ragil suddenly fell silent. His gaze was locked onto an object coiled on Azka's ring finger. "Ka?" he said softly, immediately Azka removed her hand from Ragil's grasp.

"Sorry Gil" he said.

Ragil gave a fleeting laugh, more like his real grunt, "Why are you apologizing Ka?" He seemed to take a deep breath "I should be the one apologizing. I've tortured Lo with that feeling for so long. And when I realized, I could no longer help you fight. Sorry Ka" In the next second, the clear hairs had already slid off the eyelids that held it. Azka sobbed, Time and time again He tried to hold back his sobbing, but it made the sound that came out louder than before.

Ragil moved, approaching towards Azka. He shifted Azka's chair until the girl sat facing him. In a half-standing position, he lowered his head, pulling the tiny body into his arms. His hand rubbed Azka's back slowly,

"After this, you will have to fight harder than yesterday. You have to fight more for the love that you will get from your husband" Isak Azka sounded more bitter, her shoulders shook, "Maafin I ya Ka"

Azka could not say anything after that. All he knew was, it felt like he wanted to stop the time for a while, letting himself be in that position for longer. Feeling that his feelings are answered. Feel how to celebrate love for a moment. A love that has long been harbored, a love that he may not even be able to lose. In fact, right now he feels like quitting. Right here.

I'm in your story, man,

Like a dead clock

before arriving at the intended minute.

I'm in your story, man,

Tub of fallen leaves blown by the wind

before successfully embracing the homesick land.

I'm in your story, man,

Similar to a cracked coral

Before the waves hit.

I'm in your story, man,

It stopped first

Before writing the title of the story.
