The hour hand had shown the number eleven, but there was no sign of the door opening. Even the owner missed breakfast. Several times ART knocked on the door and asked when the master had breakfast, but the answer given remained the same.
Again an ART was standing and knocking on the door of the room that was still tightly closed.
"Mass?"
Tok, tock, tock
"Mas Kevin?" Excited that ART.
"Mas Kevin wants to be delivered now for breakfast?" Ask ART when you are not getting a message from within.
Geck, tok, tok.
"Mass?" Again there is no truth.
Geck, tok, tok.
Cclek
The door finally opened. Looked Kevin who was dressed neatly.
"Mas Kevin wants breakfast now?" ART asked Kevin back. Not breakfast, rather lunch.
"No, later if I'm hungry, I'll go down." Kevin answered, then closed the door again.
ART is just shaking slowly. This past month, her young employer's behavior has been strange, unusual. Kevin left his breakfast more often, and preferred to leave for the office earlier than usual. Likewise at night, the man often misses his dinner. They often go home late too.
"Where, Bi?" Bu Rosita asked as her ART was back in the living room.
"Sorry, Mom. Kevin said, if you're hungry, it'll come down, that's what he said." ART speech mimics Kevin's speech.
Miss Rosita breathed a rough breath. After Hasna's reception last night, her son locked himself in his room. And until noon, Kevin did not come out, even missed his breakfast.
"Yes, thank you, Bi." Miss Rosita said with a forced smile.
"Together, Mom. Then I'll go back." Miss Rosita nodded.
Miss Rosita moved, intending to go to her son's room. But not yet the woman stepped, Kevin first down the stairs. There was relief on the woman's face.
"Ma." Greet Kevin.
Miss Rosita approached her favorite son. Swiped slowly the stocky arm wrapped in the red shirt.
"Breakfast first, yeah. Mama temenin." Rosita Bu said softly.
Kevin just nodded. He understood very well if the mother was worried about him, so he chose to go down. Since last night, he hasn't been out of the room at all. And this morning, he didn't eat breakfast with his parents.
Rosita took food for the son, and placed it before the man. Kevin smiled broadly as he looked at the plate in front of him. A plate of rice filled with side dishes was also vegetables.
"Ma, Kevin just missed breakfast this morning. Why is the food you're preparing like Kevin skipped a meal for a few days?" Chuckles Kevin.
Ms. Rosita smiled as the two corners of her son's lips were drawn to form an upward curve. For almost a month, that smile Ms. Rosita had never seen. Even if Kevin smiled, it was more precisely because he was forced.
"Yes...Mama just wants to make sure that your favorite son won't feel hungry later." Said Miss Rosita. Kevin smiled widely and shook his head.
Kevin starts feeding the food, but his movements stop. Instantly he remembered Hasna's habit of eating. Kevin smiled at her smile again.
"Why?" Mom Rosita asked, as Kevin returned to put down his spoon and fork.
Kevin shook his head quietly without answering his mother's question.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim." Sluggishly. Mom Rosita realized instantly that her son was smiling when he remembered the woman who was so special in the heart of his beloved son.
"Run it, son." Rosita Bu said softly.
Miss Rosita looked at Kevin closely. His son never loved women the way he loved Hasna. Without expressing feelings, Kevin immediately proposed to his girlfriend. But fate does not allow them to unite. Hasna has married another man. Even yesterday Kevin had attended a wedding ceremony between Hasna and her husband.
The middle-aged woman knew that her son's smile during Hasna's wedding reception yesterday was a forced smile. Maybe Kevin has said sincerely to see Hasna happy, but it is not that easy to forget the taste that has been rooted in the heart of the man.
"Ma, Kevin gave up. Kevin will raise the flag of defeat." Chuckles Kevin.
Ms. Rosita regained her senses from her daydream. The woman looked towards Kevin who was laughing a little. The man raised both his hands on the right and left side of his head.
"Kevin can't afford to eat this anymore. Kevin gave up." Now the man rubbed his stomach that felt full.
"May there be good women who have been waiting for your meeting, until at last you are united in the bond of marriage."

At the Suryanata residence, Miss Diana was busy arranging dinner on the dining table. Tonight his son-in-law will have dinner with them at home.
"Ma, Brother Rama and Sister Hasna so nginep, right?" Ask Nayla.
"So. Why?" Ask Diana.
"Yes.cuma nanya anyway, because according to Nayla's description anyway yes, Kak rama will not want to nginep here for now." Say Nayla with her style of fairy-tale.
"Sokay know you." Say Mama.
"Mom, Den Rama and Neng Hasna have come." Say one of ART.
"Let me continue, ma'am." Mbok Sumi.
"Thank you, Mbok." Miss Diana also passed towards the middle room.
Rama also saw Hasna who was sitting talking with Papa.
"Hasna's." Call Mama.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma." Hasna approached Mama, kissing the back of the woman's hand.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, dear." Mama took her daughter-in-law into a hug.
"Ehemmm..feels stepson." Syndir Rama. Kissing the back of the mother's hand.
"Emang Kak Rama did not know that it had been crossed out from the same Family Card Mama?" Nayla Sahut.
"No problem, so no more monthly money transfers." Rama said lightly.
"Ih.people are just kidding too. Brother Rama is the best brother in the world." Rayu Nayla's. The girl laughed forcefully while struggling spoiled to the Big Brother.
Everyone there laughed at Nayla's behavior. Only Rama held back his smile, as if not braving with the seduction of his younger sister.
Nayla is still in Rama's arms. The girl tried to seduce her older brother, in order to save the monthly money so as not to float away.
"Remove, feel kayak again in the chimpanzee gelendotin it becomes." Rama.
"Sister Rama, uh..nyebelin. Nay's time in saying chimpanzee?" The girl let go of the brother's hand.
"Udah, we're eating now." Say Mama.
They're all headed for the dining table. Hasna also saw Rama's dining table that was so full of food. There are a lot of menus there. It's only right if you force them to come home.
"Who else do you want, Ma? A lot of cooking?" Ask Rama.
"No, Mama's cooking to welcome you." Say Mama. Rama and Hasna looked at each other.
They all eat quietly. And as usual, Rama shared the food on the same plate as Hasna. Rama asked for it. The man said he would always share food on the same plate as his wife. In addition to maintaining romance with the couple, it is also the Sunnah of the Apostle.
"You're so nginep, aren't you?" Ask Mama. Rama and Hasna looked at each other.
"Emmm..." It's hard for Hasna to say they didn't stay. The woman looked back at her husband.
"We didn't stay overnight, Ma." Rama said in the end.
"Loh, why? My mom told me the same thing you did yesterday." I heard a disappointed tone in my mother's words.
Rama took Hasna's hand and held it warm. The man smiled at his wife.
"We want to spend some time together, Ma. Before Rama gets back to work." Rama.
Miss Diana nodded lethargicly. It seemed like the reason Rama was accepted, even though the middle-aged woman looked disappointed.
"In exchange, we'll stay here every weekend." Pungkas Rama's.
"Promise, yes." Mama ensured.
"Yes, Ma." Rama answered with a smile.
"Said Mama want to quickly have a grandchild, so can be called Oma. Now it's his ex's turn to be alone, disturbed." Godhead Papa.
"Who's bothering me anyway, Pa. They will sleep in their rooms. Mama did not follow. Just, Mama let's have a chat, that's all." Say Mama.
"Ehemmm. And every day in temenin ghibah also." Nayla Sahut.
"Sister, we are lucky. Both are stepchildren here." Nayla told Rama.
"From the story, Neng?" Temptation Rama.
"Oh.nyebelin." Rajuk Nayla's.
Dinner continued quietly. Afterwards they chatted as usual in the living room. Long enough, Rama and Hasna finally decided to return to the hotel.
