The motorbike that Aditya drove entered the gate where the contract of Haji Soleh was located. For a moment the young man stopped his vehicle, trying to find where the tenement house where the Goddess lived. He then approached several young men who were gathered near the gate. Still on his bike Aditya began to ask.
“Punten kang, if the house is Goddess who?”
“Goddess of her deceased son Mr Herman?”
“Iya, kang.”
“That's the most end, the right,” the man who answered Aditya's question pointed to the most end tenement house. And Aditya's eyes immediately followed the movements of his hands.
“Nuhun, kang.”
“Sami-sami.”
Aditya directly directs his motorbike to the designated house earlier. He turned off the engine and approached the house. He was silent in front of the terrace for a moment. The atmosphere of the house looks quiet, but from the outside can be heard the sound coming from the television.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Nenden, who was watching television, got up from his seat and rushed to open the door. For a moment the woman was stunned to see a young man she had never seen. Aditya threw a smile at Nenden.
“Aunty night. The goddess is?”
“There. Sorry about who?”
“Meet aunty, I'm Aditya.”
Aditya extended his hand to Nenden, as the woman returned her helping hand, she was surprised when Aditya directly kissed the back of her hand. To coincide with that the Goddess appeared.
“Adit,” call Goddess.
“This is your friend, neng?” asked Nenden while looking at the princess.
“Iya, bu.”
“Sorry aunt, can I take the Goddess out? Not for long aunt, most streets while traveling find a seamstress who brought run away my mama vegetable centong.”
“Idi..” sahut Dewi. Nenden just smiled hearing that. He remembered the name Aditya that his son had mentioned some time ago.
“This is Aditya tea that you said at that time?”
“Dewi says what aunt?”
“Cakep said.”
“Mother iihhh...” Goddess pulling negligent worn Nenden.
“Alhamdulillah, finally you admit also yes my fondness.”
“Aaan anyway,” the face of the Goddess instantly blushed red.
From the young interaction nearby, Nenden already knew that there was a spark of love between them. Moreover, Aditya's attitude is also so polite and polite, making those who just know him immediately like him.
“How's aunt? Can I take the Goddess away?”
“Bby, but go home not night-night. Nine hours must be home.”
“Siap aunty. Come, De.”
The goddess immediately said goodbye to her mother while kissing her hand. Nenden still survives in his place, noticing Aditya who is giving the pink helmet to the Goddess. Before long the two-wheeled vehicle began to move away.
“This is whose motor?” ask Goddess.
“Motor my brother, but now it has been handed to me,” Aditya replied half-screaming for competing with the wind.
“Where are we going?”
“There's deh.”
Dewi did not ask any more, he just let Aditya run the vehicle to the place he was referring to. He believed the young man would not take him to a dangerous or sinister place.
Aditya continued to drive his vehicle through several red lights. The motor then turns into the Cikapundung Terrace area. There are already parked a lot of two-wheeled vehicles and also four-wheeled vehicles. The young man stopped his bike in one of the empty places. The goddess got off the bike and then took off her helmet. His eyes looked at the crowd of visitors who were there.
“Ayo.”
While holding the hand of Dewi, Aditya began to walk around from the parking area and then towards the terrace Cikapundung. It seems that visitors there have begun to gather to enjoy the fountain show. Aditya takes place near the fountain, slightly jostling with other visitors while grasping the hand of the Goddess tightly.
“You've been here?” ask Aditya.
“Ear once, but only in the afternoon.”
“If you see the fountain show already?”
“But.”
“Begin soon.”
Just now Aditya finished his speech, there was a voice of someone who said that the waterfall show will take place soon. Many visitors prepare their phones to capture the show. No exception Aditya, in the hands of the young man there is already his cellphone.
The fountain show begins. Initially the fountain moved as usual then, a luminous luminescence began to adorn its surroundings. Then a song rang out and the movement of the fountain began to follow the rhythm of the song. Dewi and also some other visitors enjoy the fountain show which is like dancing to the rhythm again Manuk Dadali played.
After one song, the show continues. Now the movement of the fountain follows the rhythm of the song Final Countdown. The eyes of the Goddess did not blink to see the beautiful water movement, Aditya was busy perpetuating with his cellphone. Then he invited the Goddess to be kind and changed the rear camera into a front camera. The young man recorded himself and the Goddess with a fountain performance as the setting.
A thunderous applause was heard when the show was over. Some people still survive around the fountain and some others scatter towards a place that feels suitable for where they sit. Aditya invited Dewi to sit on the stairs on the right side of the fountain. The young man continued to climb the stairs, passing through some of the visitors sitting there. Then he stopped and sat down at the very top.
“It turns out the night is getting rame, yes,” said Dewi whose eyes continue to look at visitors in front of him.
“Yes that's it. Make who want to get together or date with minimal capital yes come here, rich us, hehehe.”
“We're on another date?”
“Upload Yes.”
The goddess smiled at him. Her heart is really happy tonight. Aditya's arrival had erased the sadness he felt earlier this afternoon. His cooperation with Aditya has restored his mood that had been shattered.
His head unintentionally turned to the left. Not far from him gathered some ABG who seemed to also come to enjoy the fireworks show. But the heart of Dewi became upset when she knew the ABGs were watching Aditya. Even one of them took a picture of the young man secretly.
“Streeting there yuk.”
The goddess pointed towards the red bridge. Aditya immediately agreed. The young man woke up and went down the stairs, not forgetting he was holding the hand of the Goddess. At first glance Dewi tried to look at the ABG group earlier, his smile was on his back to see their disappointed faces. Proudly he returned Aditya's hand, as if confirming that this handsome young man was his.
“Photo yuk.”
“If it's morning or noon, we can take the inflatable boat.”
“Ah route is short, very males.”
“Ya consider aja rafting,” Aditya chuckles.
The goddess lifted her gaze towards the river. Staring at the river water whose discharge is reduced because it has not entered the rainy season. Aditya stood next to her while putting both of his hands on the iron barrier.
“De.. does anything make you sad today?”
“Hah?”
“Your eyes are a little swollen, richly weeping. Why?”
“Ehm.. the..”.
Dewi seemed hesitant to tell a story, but then also glided the story of the incident last afternoon, where she was so emotional when she saw the scene of her father's murder. And he missed the part where he made his homeroom teacher live.
“How are you feeling now?”
“Udah is fine.”
“It is sad about your father not to be remembered anymore. Just remember your happy togetherness. Do not continue to drown in sadness and anger, because it will only cause revenge. Don't let negativity like that rule you. There are still many important things that you have to think about in life, one of which is me,” Aditya showing her dimples when smiling.
“Still, Dit. In the Lord, I am well now. Thanks because you have restored my mood that was destroyed earlier.”
“Tomorrow if you are sad again, contact me. Don't hesitate to share my sadness with me. As much as possible I will entertain you.”
“Still. How good you are anyway.”
“And you are my future labourer.”
“Ish..”
Dewi lowered her head, Aditya not only always managed to make her face blush, but also managed to make her heart beat faster and misbehave.
“Today I have signed a work contract, and tomorrow I have started work.”
“Oh yes? Congratulations yes,” Dewi raised her head, ventured to look at Aditya.
“Tomorrow you leave at what time? I'll take ya to school.”
“Tomorrow me off.”
“Oh holiday. Then you can dong between me shopping.”
“Shop what?”
“I just moved rent, want to buy a mattress, the same closet as others. If you can accompany yes.”
“Not tomorrow you work?”
“Tomorrow I'm in at 3. So we're shopping in the morning, at tenth. Want ngga?”
“Bby.”
“Bone yuk, it's half-nine. I'll get your mom's SP.”
Aditya again held the hand of the Goddess then left the bridge and walked towards the parking area. The young man put a pink helmet on the head of the Goddess.
“Cowok helmet pink,” said Dewi.
“I deliberately bought it for you. Girls usually love pink.”
“Ngga all girls.”
“Emang you like what color?”
“Green.”
“Wah wrong dong. I'll buy pylox deh.”
“Make what?”
“Make repaint the helmet.”
“Dih.”
Dewi patted Aditya's arm slowly. He immediately climbed up behind Aditya and before long the iron horse immediately glided. Aditya pulled the Goddess' hand and wrapped it around her waist.
“Handles! Falls later!”
Embarrassed, the Goddess wrapped her hands around Aditya's waist and linked her fingers. His chest pounded as the motor stopped at the red light, Aditya's hand holding both of his hands.
“Your hands are cold, De. Tomorrow we buy gloves yes.”
“Ngga.”
“Ngga can argue. If we date night-night you will not be cold later.”
“As of you aja.”
“Well dong, same candidate priest.”
Aditya released his grip on the Goddess' hand as soon as the light turned green. The two-wheeled vehicle again drove through the streets of Bandung at night. Twenty minutes later, they had already arrived at the Dewi residence.
“Helmnya keep it with you. I go straight home.Greetings to your mother.”
“Iya, be careful, do not speed.”
“Iya darling.”
BLUSHES
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Aditya turned his vehicle around then immediately slid away. The goddess was still glued to her place, noticing the motor carrying Aditya out of the gate.
The girl fingered her warm cheek from hearing the word dear just now. Indeed, he does not know the name of his relationship with Aditya at this time. The young man has not officially expressed love to him, but from the attitude and the name of the prospective teacher for him makes Dewi conclude that Aditya likes him. And hopefully that conclusion is true.
