The man sat pensively in his room, a brown wooden door on his back. His eyes were swollen with tears spilling, his voice was spent shouting emotionlessly to blame his own stupidity, again.

He cried while looking at a picture of a beautiful girl with him at a party. The man went back to sobbing deeply, he was now truly sorry.

His folly has destroyed his own future, his folly makes the lover leave him, and because of his stupidity also all the struggle to carry out the task entrusted by the late wife failed already.

He regretted, crying out for forgiveness to the late Alea for not being able to take care of Alsa. Davin again felt lost for the second time.

A ring he threw origin when remembering Grace's speech on the phone.

"It's better you don't bother Alsa anymore, just let her go. You also never appreciate the presence of Alsa. When are you gonna get to kayak gini, Bang? When Alsa left, you tried to get her back. And when he was already on your side, you just casually walk with another girl. Sorry, Bang. I just want to be happy, so stay away from Alsa. Live your own life with a girl who always lo prouarin and lo bandingin with Alsa."

Davin regretted all his actions so far, he always numbered united Rena.

Her phone rang again, Rena's name on it.

"Don't bother me again, Ren! Take care of your own business, I'm tired of taking care of you!" davin said, holding back emotions.

"But, Vin. What's my fault? Why did you suddenly change?" asked Rena confused.

"Lo's not wrong, but I'm wrong. I was wrong because I was more concerned with Elo than the person I loved. From now on, take care of yourself. I don't care what your problem is." Davin turned off his phone without waiting for a response from Rena.

The man immediately took his car keys and jacket, he had to fight for his love. No matter if later Alsa will curse or even slap her, she just wants her girl back.

*******

The young man smiled at Alsa who had just set foot in the airport, the girl smiled awkwardly and the young man greeted while pinching Alsa's cheek as was her custom.

He did not change, the way he dressed, the hairdo that was a little random, as well as the black earrings that he always wore. Everything was still the same, even the smile of the man was still the same as before.

"Hey, Caca." Ken greeted and answered with a sweet smile from Alsa, the man smiled bitterly when he realized the smile of the girl in front of him did not look sincere. There's a wound tucked away there.

"Ken .. I'm tired," said Alsa, holding back tears that would spill. Ken understands the meaning of the word 'capek thrown Alsa is not about his physical.

The man smiled then took over the suitcase that Alsa was carrying.

"To my house, yuk. We'll have tea there." The girl smiled then nodded weakly.

He followed where Ken was taking him this time, without crying, without the screams of fear, and without coercion as before. He laughed at himself inwardly, perhaps giving himself up to the kidnapper who had almost raped him.

But maybe it's better than being with Davin who never loved him.

******

The atmosphere of Ken minimalist house is so comfortable for Alsa, there is a small garden that contains several types of flowers. A brown painted wooden chair was placed there.

Alsa smilingly looked around Ken's house, and suddenly appeared a beautiful girl younger than him who looked at him in surprise.

"Sorry, is Ken's brother there? Eum. .. I'm one of the employees at her flower shop." the girl asked awkwardly to Alsa.

"Eh, Dara? What's up?" asked Ken who suddenly appeared from inside the house. The man looks friendly welcoming his guest, Alsa smiles at Ken's much better change.

"Sorry, there's a little problem in the store. Can you just hang out with me for a second?" ask the girl named Dara. Ken nodded at a glance, then he introduced Alsa to Dara.

"Ca, this is Dara. He's my employee, from Indonesia too. This Dara lives in one of the orphanages close to my flower shop. In the past, his mother was native to Indonesia, and his father was here. Both of his parents died of illness. So, he was put in an orphanage. Dara is also very fluent in Indonesian." Ken introduces Dara to Alsa, the teary-eyed girl looking clumsy in front of Alsa.

"Hay ... Tara." Alsa greeted Dara and tried to be friendly, the teary-eyed girl smiled very sweetly.

"Let's go. Ca, do you want to come with me?" ask Ken who can't bear to leave Alsa alone.

"I'm at home, I'll call Grace to come here" Alsa said slowly.

Ken nodded in understanding, then he left with Dara.

Alsa felt that the man who was also her best friend had undergone a very drastic change. In the past, the Ken he knew was a man who was cold to anyone other than himself. But now the man can be very friendly to others, even if it's his employees.

The next night Davin had arrived at Grace and Gerry's house, they were both immediately astonished by Davin's erratic attitude.

And now, Davin was even indignantly unclear on both. Even the man had emitted a dark aura that made his sister and brother-in-law not dare to approach.

"Why do you guys let Alsa live with Ken?" ask Davin with emphasis. While the one asked was silent, Grace swallowed her hard-earned saliva.

"Bang, so gini ... Alsa was the one we talked into staying here, but she didn't want to. You-"

"Wouldn't you? How can you not want to?" Davin cut out Grace's unfinished speech. It felt like the woman really wanted to kick her brother out of the house.

"So-"

"Pointer where Ken's house is! I'm going there now!" again, Davin cut out Grace's speech. Though he will explain that Alsa chose to stay at Ken's house because his sister had a new friend.

But it seems Davin does not want to listen to his words and even his emotions are rising to the crown.

Soon the man came out after grabbing Gerry's car keys.

"Let's just, let him stray all of you." Grace arrests Gerry, who wants to go after Davin. The woman seems to have a grudge against her brother.

"Grace!" Davin yelled out to Grace from the front yard, and she wanted to curse her sister to stone because she didn't want to.

Grace just rolled her eyes bored. If she could choose, she wouldn't want to be Davin's sister who has an annoying nature. He only prayed in his heart, hopefully later if he had a nephew of his brother, Davin did not pass on his qualities to the child.

"Lelet knows!" snapped Davin emotion. The man sat down next to the steering wheel and told Gerry to drive. Letting Grace sit in the back by chanting a variety of swears for Davin.

***

Alsa stood in front of the door. He does not believe in his vision now. How not, Davin was already standing in front of him and was looking at him with mixed eyes.

The man seemed annoyed, jealous, happy, sad, sorry, and missed Alsa terribly. Mixed into one to make the two silence each other with a locked view on the opponent's netra.

Davin, the man approached, clasped Alsa's hand and stared at her tear-stained grey bead

"sister"

"Why are you going, honey? Why do you leave me? Why don't you wait for me to come home and explain everything? I love you, Alsa. I love you." Davin looked down at Alsa, the girl now looking down. However, the romantic moment must be disturbed because Davin who realizes there is another figure besides the two of them there.

They were staring at Davin and Alsa as if watching a drama show. Even Grace had captured the moment with her cellphone camera. Davin cursed inwardly to curse both.

Looking sharp as if saying can't you guys go first? To them. As a result, Grace and Gerry passed from there with clumsy smiles.

Alsa chuckles in the middle of her stuffing, that moment of failed romance she will remember for life.

"Ck .. failed to." Davin mumbled annoyed. Just now he is bullied by Ken who says that the man lives alone with Alsa, and is getting married. Luckily Alsa soon comes in with a girl before Davin beats up Ken, again.

Now he can only scratch his nape that does not itch. The image of the apology scene is like in a romantic drama that he occasionally watches, scattered out of nowhere.

Alsa immediately hugs Davin whose reflexes make the man shocked.

"I love brother." Davin smiled at Alsa's words. The man hugged his lover tightly, promising not to hurt Alsa again. Inside the house, Grace, Gerry, Ken, and Dara look at the romantic scene with fluffy smiles.

They are grateful, finally all the difficulties that they have been through non-stop, ended happily.

Davin, he kissed Alsa's lips. The winter wind was blowing slowly against them. The smell of roses coming out of the garden owned by Kenzo, adds to the atmosphere more romantic.

Well, although not as beautiful as the end of the story in the romance drama, but Alsa is grateful that finally Davin's love is only for him.

Ken looked towards Dara who was looking towards Davin and Alsa with a look of astonishment, the man immediately pulled the girl to leave from there.

"The scene is not for underage girls, yes," Ken said as he pulled Dara away, the girl pursed her lips upset because her boss was disturbing her who was enjoying a hot kiss scene Davin and Alsa.

Kenzo, the man smiled happily to see his girlfriend now find her happiness. He sees Alsa laughing with Davin teasing the girl, and Ken is happy to have everything back to normal.

He promises to be a better man, and will rise from the tragic fall of his love story. He is sure, one day he will find a girl who can love him for who he is.
