At the moment Alea's mood was in a state of chaos, which made the girl reluctant to come out of her room. He prefers to stay in bed.
Sad ... angry .. disappointed, all those feelings had been mixed in his heart. Alea really did not expect the very meeting he was waiting for, instead leading to a deep sadness.
That moment ..the moment where Iqbal blatantly did not recognize him in front of everyone, always came to mind, which made Alea difficult to forget.
Slowly he hugged both knees, and then cried out in between hands. Really, Alea felt extremely hurt, as if she had lost someone dear to her.
Alea hoped that what she had kept quiet today was only a dream. A dream that Alea no longer wanted to happen.
But, Alea was aware. This is reality. The reality he had witnessed with both eyes and was hard to accept.
Chequek!
Someone opened the door from outside. Then he was immediately shocked on the spot when he saw the owner of the middle room crying sobbing.
"Good, Alea."
Although in a state of crying, but Alea was very familiar with the voice of that person. That's Lisa.
"Geez, yeah. Don't cry anymore" asked Lisa while rubbing Alea's back just to calm her best friend.
Alea slowly raised her head. After which, he rushed to hug Lisa very tightly. "Iqbal, Lis ...," said Alea.
"Yes, Yeah. I know how you feel right now. Lo was very sad when Iqbal did not know you at all. Honestly, I was sad that day too. I really-not surprisingly, back and forth Iqbal even did not recognize lo," said Lisa bitterly.
Now, Lisa really can't hold back her tears anymore. He was swept away by what Alea was feeling right now.
"Gue knows this is hard for you. You've been trying hard to get him to heal. You have been faithful waiting for him who wants to go abroad for treatment. You are willing to not open your heart to other guys. But the result ... you even get heartache like this."
Alea's cry was breaking even more. Even so, Lisa continued to calm Alea down. He will not let his friend be dissolved in deep sorrow.

The reflection of sunlight that slipped into the sidelines of the bedroom window, successfully made Alea wake up from her sleep. For a moment he sat down to relax after having a long dream last night.
Alea then lowered her head while taking a deep breath. Suddenly, the events of yesterday came to his mind. Quickly Alea shook her head, trying to eliminate that painful moment.
Alea did not want to remember that anymore. Just yesterday his heart felt sick and sore. Now Alea just wanted to be happy in her own way. Want to be happy also with the people he loves very much, except Iqbal.
After yesterday's incident, Alea's feelings for Iqbal became irregular. Not hate, but not like. At its core, Alea was eager to stay away from Iqbal and forget about it.
Although it feels heavy, Alea will try to get used to it without Iqbal beside her.
That was his decision. He does it for the happiness of all, for the happiness of all, for the happiness of Iqbal.
Brak!
The door of the room suddenly opened quite hard. The shock left Alea aghast in shock and immediately turned her face towards the door.
"Gosh, it turns out lo Lis. Slow down if you open the door. Fortunately, I do not have a hanger disease," Alea recalled while putting on an annoyed look.
Lisa is just a whimper. "Hehe, sorry Yes. Reflexes," he said, then rushed over to Alea who was still sitting on the bed.
"More." Lisa thrust a piece of paper at Alea. "When I came here, you told me this. He said this is a list of kitchen ingredients that you should buy in the market," explained Lisa.
Alea nodded in understanding. He immediately got out of bed to get ready.
"Eh, yes, I'm coming with you huh. Pleasss ... Mumpung today I'm on leave of work." Lisa begged while putting on a pretty adorable face.
"Hmm, I can. Just so, if you're there, you don't be shy about me, okay."

Today the atmosphere in market A is quite crowded visited by residents around. Some of them are crammed into each other because they do not want to run out of supplies for the kitchen.
This then got the attention of Alea and Lisa who had just arrived in the market. They were immediately dumbfounded. Usually market A is rarely crowded by residents. But now, things are quite different.
Ah, yeah that's it. Let it. Alea did not want to be too pampered with what was going on today in the market.
"Crazy! Tumben-tumbenan today the market rame really. Is there a discount times?" lisa muttered, still feeling astonished.
Alea shrugged her shoulders at a glance. Then he pointed towards the place where the vegetables were sold. "Take me there first, yuk!"
Lisa agreed. He also took Alea's hand to bring his friend to go to a place to sell vegetables. And just a few steps they walked, suddenly a group of women came running to make Alea and Lisa's body a little pushed.
"Busyet dah, the girls on the ribet are very willing to go to the market as well, pack a running event all over again. Fortunately I'm just as okay" Lisa, upset herself.
"Udah. Maybe they were in a hurry again, eating it they were running around like that," Alea said, trying to calm Lisa down from emotions just because of small things.
Lisa gave a small nod, but in her heart still harbored a sense of annoyance towards the group of women earlier. But, yeah, that's it. For what is kept in mind, after all Lisa does not know them.
"Yes, yuk." Lisa pulled Alea's hand towards the vegetable selling place.
After arriving there, Alea immediately chose the vegetables she would buy according to the grocery list. Lisa who was beside Alea, of course did not want to stay silent. He helped his friend choose vegetables.
"Oh yeah, I think this is the best." Lisa took the kale and showed it to Alea.
"Yes, take that one." Alea agreed with Lisa's choice.
Lisa immediately handed two kale ties to the vegetable seller. After that, he chose again. However, in the midst of being chosen, Lisa remembered something. "Gosh, I forgot," he murmured while patting his forehead.
Alea turned her eyes to Lisa. "Forgot what?"
"Hmm, yeah, I lived here alone didn't papa, did I? I have to buy something." Lisa asks Alea's permission first.
"No need to ask my permission either time, Lis. If you want to go, just go. I'm not papa," Alea said with a faint smile.
"OKAY. If so, I'll stay awhile. It won't take long." Lisa then rushed away leaving Alea.
While Alea again chose various types of vegetables that look fresh and good.
Bruk!
Someone suddenly just smashed into Alea's body from behind. The reflex made Alea instantly turn around to look at the person who hit her.
At first glance, Alea caught a small child standing before her with a smile. Just now Alea wanted to warn the little boy to be more careful, but the boy had already run off first.
Now Alea could only shake her head with a smile. Alea had thought that an adult had hit her body. But in fact a handsome and funny boy.
Alea was about to turn around. However, his two eyes first caught a single jasmine flower lying under his feet. Without thinking much, Alea picked up the flower.
"Why are there jasmine flowers here? Did this have that little kid?" he thought Alea, carefully examining the flower she was holding.
"YES ... IQBAL ...."
The deg!
Alea's heart seemed to want to stop after hearing the people's cries. 'Iqbal? Is he here?' inner Alea while glaring her eyes.
