The crowd of accessories stores that afternoon accompanied Vika and Mahen. They are busy telling each other after a month of not meeting. Afternoon Talk's song There's Only One Thing You Should Know spoils their ears.
"Lately, Nola and I have been overwhelmed with overwhelming orders." Vika lowered her shoulders, remembering the pile of work that was waiting for tomorrow.
"Good! That's a sign that your business is growing well" Mahen said as he rubbed his chin.
"But I'm overwhelmed, brother. Vika wants to close the order temporarily. You see Nola is on leave," grumbled Vika.
"You want me to help you find someone else to replace Nola for a while?" Mahen tried to offer help.
"No need, brother. If the design is complete, all the production process remains. Vika intends to close the temporary order, while wanting to rest," said Vika.
"Yes, if you want to." A smile was etched on Mahen's lips.
"Kak Mahen himself ... how is the opening of the store in Bali? Smoothly?" ask Vika.
"Fluent. Hopefully the turnover skyrocketed like a store in Java." Mahen's chest expanded, and his head was now raised.
"Oh yes, by the way .. Why did Mahen immediately buy the clock I pointed at?" Vika now supported her chin while glancing towards Mahen. A smile appeared on his lips.
"That's .. because ...." Mahen's eyes, which had been fixed on Vika, now turned to the ceiling of the store.
"Because what?" Vika continued to look at the man before her while waiting for an answer.
"Because I believe, everything you say is true. You always judge things by your heart, the heart is never wrong." Now Mahen's gaze returned to Vika.
Vika took her eyes off Mahen, then lowered her head. His heart was pounding very fast, and his face seemed to have burned out due to Mahen's gaze. She twisted the skirt she was wearing with her fingertips.
Mahen who saw Vika's behavior, now smiled. He rubbed his neck to shake the awkward feeling that suddenly crept. Luckily, there was a servant who came to melt the awkwardness between them.
"Please, Sir." The waiter smiled kindly as he handed a bag that read Your Time, the watch brand.
"Thank you" Mahen said with a smile, and grabbed the bag from the servant's hand.
Out of the store, Vika's eyes were fixed on a Korean restaurant opposite her. Vika lately likes to see Korean dramas, immediately remembered Bibimbap who looks good in the drama.
"Why?" Mahen leaned towards Vika while following her gaze.
"Was the restaurant just opened?" vika asked while pointing at the Korean restaurant that caught her attention.
"It's only been a week, want to eat there?" Mahen smiled widely followed by a nod of Vika.

Now in front of Vika presented a large bowl of bibimbap with cow's eye eggs. In the black bowl there are a variety of vegetables. There are cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, spinach, chicken meat, as well as enoki mushrooms and champignons. Sesame seeds sprinkled adorn the very top of the bibimbap.
Looking at the scene in front of her, making Vika drool dripping. He immediately poured the gochujang sauce into a bowl, stirred it slowly, then fed a spoonful of Korean-style mixed rice into the mouth.
Vika chewed the food in her mouth slowly. He tried to enjoy every taste that was tucked away by his tongue. The savory taste of chicken and egg tastes even more delicious because of the spicy sweet gochujang sauce.
"Don't kid!" Vika's eyes did not blink a bit.
Seeing Vika's behavior, Mahen hid his smile behind his palm. The woman in front of him was easily happy with just the little things. Vika's simplicity is what makes Mahen's heart can not turn away from him.
"Sir Mahen, will you?" Vika thrust a spoonful of rice into Mahen's mouth.
Mahen's red cheeks received a sweet treatment from Vika. He opened his mouth wide, hoping that the woman would feed the rice into it. However, now Mahen's lips are tightly clenched.
Vika turned the spoon, and put it in her mouth. The woman stuck out her tongue after swallowing the bibimbap. Mahen simply smiled as he shook his head.
Vika and Mahen got a seat in the middle. After ten minutes of waiting, the movie finally began. Every scene makes Mahen's ghost feel like he wants to be dislodged. She screamed hysterically, closed her eyes, and sometimes hid behind Vika's arms.
It felt like Mahen's legs were weakening when the cinema was over. He could not stand up and had to wait a few minutes to regain his strength. Vika only chuckled at Mahen's face which was now deathly pale.
After successfully gathering his strength again, Mahen and Vika walked hand in hand out of the cinema. Vika looked at the man beside her with a mocking smile, while Mahen cast a sharp glare.
"You were intentional, huh?" Mahen instantly stopped while folding his arms in front of his chest.
"No! I just wanted to watch that movie!" kilah Vika while continuing to smile mischievously.
Mahen snorted in annoyance, remembering Vika who accidentally invited him to watch a horror movie. However, that upset feeling disappeared when he saw Vika's sweet smile.
When he was about to get to the car, Vika's body was hit by a woman with a short haircut. Reflek, Mahen's hand caught his slender body. Their gazes were now whistling. A strange gelayar infiltrates Vika's heart.
"It's okay?" ask Mahen.
"D-yes." Vika now stands up straight, then slips her hair behind her ears.
Without them noticing, a pair of eyes were watching the two. The woman who had hit Vika, was still petrified while staring at the two people in front of her.
"Mahen?" The short-haired woman was wide-eyed when she found out who was in front of her.
Hearing his name being spoken, Mahen turned to the woman. He squinted and tilted his head, trying to remember where he had met the woman before him.
"I'm Aluna" he said with a faint smile.
"Mirror ...." Mahen's eyebrows intertwine while trying to recall who the woman is.
"Aluna .. who used to be at the police station. How are your mother and son? She your wife?" cecar Aluna's.
Mahen glanced towards Vika. The woman looks uncomfortable with the barrage of questions that Aluna asks. Finally, Mahen said goodbye and did not answer a single question from Aluna.
"Sorry, we'll excuse you." Mahen held onto both of Vika's shoulders, then led her into the car.
Along the way Vika's face looks cloudy. Mahen's brain thought hard to make him smile again. A mischievous idea emerged, he wanted to tempt the mother of his son.
"Why, Neng? Jealousy?" asked Mahen while raising his eyebrows.
"Jealous? Sorry, yes, sir! I have no right to be jealous of you!" Vika grunted while rolling her eyeballs.
Mahen's laughter broke until his eyes watered. The irritated Vika now puffed her lips while folding her hands in front of her chest.
