I left Mas Andi and Rian in the living room towards the kitchen, actually my feelings were not calm. Last night's events still haunt me. I held back the rumble in my chest, neutralizing myself to look normal in the eyes of Rian and my ex-husband.

I busy myself with preparing drinks and snacks. “Mas Andi, do you want coffee?” I half screamed.

“Bby,” sahut.

I took out the milk pie from the oven, it looked steaming steam indicating that the pie was still warm. I arranged it on the tray and was about to take it to the living room however, my hand suddenly went limp until my grip came off when a familiar voice sounded.

“Papa, this is Dilan.. My friend at the college,” introduced Dilan to his father.

“Good day,” greet Dilan.

“Oh, I've heard a lot about you from Rian. Thank you for helping Rian when his asthma symptoms recur,” said Andi sumringah.

Dilan nodded with a smile. “It is my duty to help Rian,” he replied.

My body trembled as I looked behind the walls of Dilan's interaction with Rian and Mas Andi, why did he come here? Is he going to tell you what happened between us? What am I supposed to do?

“Ma, need I help?” rian made me flinch.

“Hm... no, Mama is a little more done,” I replied as calmly as possible.

I went back to preparing new drinks and snacks, leaving cakes strewn on the floor just like that. I stepped heavily, unable to feel to raise my face to just face with the young man. I lowered my head while putting a tray on the table. Rian sparkled to see the cake I served.

“Wah, Mama make pie,” Cheerfully directly take the cake and devour it.

“You like cake, Dilan?” ask Andi to Dilan.

“I really like all the food made by Mrs Laras,” the man said as he glanced at me.

I squeezed the tray in my hand, this time Dilan called me Madam, I don't know what she meant.

“Dilan often dinner here, Pa,” Rian back take the cake.

Andi nodded in understanding. “Oh, so. You guys are very familiar, in the future you do not need to hesitate.”

“Thank you Sir,” said Dilan politely. He then turned to look at Rian who was cool at chewing the cake. “Come Rian! There's something I want to show you,” take her.

“OK!” The young man drank water up to the toilet. “I go first yes Ma, Pa,” part.

“Be careful on the road,” says Mas Andi.

“Excuse me first, Sir,” Dilan. Before leaving the young man took the cake and rubbed my shoulders. “Kuenya delicious, Laras..” whispered and then left me who sculpted.

“Good boy, Rian is lucky to be friends with him,” Mas Andi said making me smile clumsy. I'm really frustrated being stuck in a situation like this.

I let out a tired sigh when I saw my phone that was dead all night, seemingly running out of battery. And when my phone turned on, the notification of 20 missed calls was clearly displayed on the phone screen. Not long after, the phone rang. I doubtfully picked up the call.

[Bypass! Where the hell have you been? How can you let me and that cool widower wait all night? Give me an explanation! NOW!] a series of questions came out of Mary's mouth.

My ears hurt to hear it.

[Calm down, Maria.].

[Okay, let's explain,] Maria's pinto is across the street.

[Yesterday night..] My words were stuck, should I be frank with Mary for what happened. But I'm not brave enough, this is a scandal. [I'm not feeling well, and I fell asleep after taking the medicine until the sound of your call was not heard,].

I closed my eyes waiting for a response from Mary, beyond belief in Mary.

Mary's words made me bitter, I lied to my own friend. But what's my day? I can't possibly tell her about last night, where do I want to put my face? I'm really embarrassed.

[It's okay Maria, I should be the one apologizing to you. Say also my apologies to your duren,] obviously I made Maria chuckle.

[Oh, he's not my widower, he's your candidate,].

[As for you, fine then. I closed yes,] I said disconnecting the call.

[Okay, rest. Immediately healed,] I smiled wryly after hearing his last message.

POV Author

Dilan brought Rian to a place, there are lined bottles arranged with several distances. Like during the August 17 race, the difference is that the bottles are placed in a rather high place. Dilan pulled something out from behind his pocket, Rian's eyes widened when he knew what it was.

“You have a firearm?” rian asked somewhat shuddering.

Dilan smiled faintly. “This is the legacy of my father,” sahutnya relaxed. “Come, I'll teach you how to aim for the right target,” take Dilan.

With half a doubt Rian approached and received the weapon that Dilan had pulled the trigger. “Try you shoot those bottles,” Dilan points to a row of bottles lined up.

Rian started aiming at the bottle, one pull enough to make his hand jerk because of the force of the weapon pressure until the target deviated. For the first time Rian held a firearm, it was not as easy as he saw in the movies.

THE DOOR!

“Again,” back Dilan asks Rian to shoot the bottle.

And the results are not much different, until now Rian has not hit a single target. Rian grimacing.

“I don't seem to match the shooting,” he said clumsily while returning the weapon.

Dilan took the gun and pointed it at the bottle. “Didn't your father have an affair, how could you easily take it back? Your mama's been eaten by your father who slept with another woman, did you forget?” dilan's words struck Rian's heart right then and there.

THE DOOR!

The bottle was smashed to pieces, Dilan's shot on target. “You certainly remember your mother's worst years, how did she suffer? You see clearly,” back Dilan aiming at the 2nd bottle.

THE DOOR!

The 2nd bottle was shattered by Dilan's shot, while Rian was silent without a word. His face that had been used to turning into a wistful one, Dilan embraced Rian and whispered. “Think of your Mama, she deserves better.”

Dilan also invites Rian to return home, along the way Rian is still in silence.

The young man looked up, recalling the tragedy 5 years ago.he will not forget how dark it was, his mother cried for 2 days. At that time Rian was sick with typhoid symptoms that made him have to bedrest, his body was so weak just to get out of bed.

Rian could hear screams and broken dishes from behind the door of his room. It all lasted almost a week. And then Mama took Rian to their new home. The house they currently own.

Rian got out of the car when they got home.

The young man said before leaving Dilan alone. “Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot because I was distracted by pure happiness. I cool myself without thinking about the feelings of the people I love so much.”

Dilan gave no response, just smiled faintly and walked towards his residence.
