Happy reading ....

Today the weather is quite supportive for anyone who wants to spend time outdoors. Thin white clouds scattered in contrast to the blue color that stretches widely in space.

The roar of the motor is quite deafening, attracting the attention of Rika who is in Reni's car. When the traffic light was red, the sound of the motor stopped not far from the car Rika was riding. Rika turned her head, and gasped when she saw the familiar motorbike. Although the motorist's face was covered in a helmet, he was sure it was his son, and ....

Deg. "Annais?" rika shrieked inwardly as the woman who was wrapping her hands around Ghaisan's waist turned her head as if she was watching the surroundings."So Agas went with Annisa. Does that mean their relationship is okay?" rika asked in her heart.

"Jeng Rika, what's wrong? How does it seem like something is being thought of," Reni scolded.

"Well, Jeng. I was thinking about what kind of ring Angel would have liked. Fear of fitting size, but the model does not fit. Understand young people today, really quickly change tastes," let's Rika.

"Look down, Jeng. Angel is not strange," said Reni with a thin smile.

Traffic lights change color from red to yellow. Rika turned her head once more and looked furiously at Annisa who was hugging Ghaisan who had gone forward because the traffic light was already green.

The motor was going pretty fast. Rika was looking for where Ghaisan drove his bike. He was disappointed when he lost track of his son and Annisa. But then, Rika accidentally sees Ghaisan and Annisa getting off the bike in a restaurant parking lot.

Rika grinned as she narrowed the tip of her eyes as she passed through the restaurant. The streets were quite dense, making Rika still able to see the young couple enter the restaurant while holding hands.

Elsewhere ....

The different atmosphere was felt in Rida's apartment. Raydita's carefree speech that chimed in Raka's words made Rida and Rianti chuckle while shaking slowly.

Rida was showing her room and to Rianti. Although they were not very close, the two looked quite familiar. In terms of age, Rianti is older. But when viewed from the appearance, Rida who was sick was looking very pale with the head that was always closed.

"Dit, buy yuk!" Sounded Raka's invitation from the tv room.

"Buy it yourself" said Raydita lazily.

"Gue doesn't know what you want. I am the one who treat. Come on, Dit." Bring again.

"Forced," delik Raydita.

"Later if I come back from town B, I buy a bag that is viral. You want to, right?" persuaded Raka half teased.

"okay-okay. But promise yes, buyin," said Raydita.

"Ready ...."

Rida gave a smile that she tried to hide hearing the chatter of Raka and Raydita. Before long, Raydita's voice said goodbye to them and was still chatting while walking towards the door.

"Sir, teach me to drive dong," pinta Raydita.

"Can you?" ask Raka.

"not yet. But there's no harm in it being early."

"Learn first the right. If you graduate with satisfactory results, I promise to buy you a car. But not the expensive one," said Raka.

"really?'

"Gue wants a rich car in the James Bond movie 007, brother." Raydita said in a spoiled tone while putting on a puppy eyes mode.

"That's expensive, Deck. Should tell how many new years can be bought," said Raka staring angrily at Raydita who sniffed while advancing her lips.

It's not only Rika who stuns a smile to hear it. Rianti did the same.

"We are lucky to have two brothers, sisters, cousins, all of whom were close from the beginning" Rianti said.

Rida gave her smile while nodding. "Thank you, sister," Rika said later.

" For what?" ask Rianti wonder.

"For many things that Kak Rianti and Kak Adi have done to Dita. Thank you, Brother. Rida is forever indebted to you," said Rida softly while bowed deeply.

"That's it. Don't do something I can't do, Rida."

"What does brother mean?" rida asked confusedly. Rida raised her face and looked at Rianti's sad looking face.

"If only Asih existed. Maybe I'll do what you're doing right now. Unfortunately, he's gone. All my life, I owe him. I will never be able to repay her kindness, even with everything I have. I try to learn from what happened. And to be honest, I am grateful that Nisa is in Asih parenting. Although I always blame myself if I remember the difficulties experienced by my own daughter," said Rianti with two teary eyes.

Rida caught the great regret from the look of Rianti's eyes. Rida hugged the woman who had raised her daughter. Rida did not expect that Rianti would sob. It was as if there was a burden in Rianti's heart that wanted to be released along with the shedding of tears that soaked Rida's shoulders.

"Sorry-sorry." Rianti bowed deeply as if wanting to hide his swollen face. Rida grabs the tissue and gives it to Rianti.

"Sometimes, we do need someone to shed feelings that are hard to describe. In front of Mas Adi, I can't do it" Rianti said slowly.

"Right-natured. I often feel that way too" Rida says.

"You must be strong, Rida. Give Dita a chance to enjoy and carve out memories with you that she will remember for life."

Rida nodded while forcing a smile. The two women strengthen each other.

At four o'clock in the afternoon Ghaisan arrived at his house. Rika greeted her son cheerfully and offered him a snack that had just been served by the waiter.

"It's a bath first, Ma. Later Agas accompany mama ngeteh," said Ghaisan while walking towards the stairs.

"Okay, honey." Rida looked at Ghaisan with a hard-to-understand look.

"You must indeed cleanse everything from the smell of the child. If necessary, just throw away your clothes," Rika murmured very slowly.

Ghaisan looks carefree undressing and just wearing a towel as he goes to the bathroom. His face was sumringah remembering the togetherness with Annisa. A soft smile sounded from the bathroom. Ghaisan was unaware that someone had entered his room and picked up his cell phone lying on the bed.

Rika looks happy when she finds out that Ghaisan's phone is unlocked. He snickered at the photo of Annisa which became the wallpaper of Ghaisan's phone.

"Heh, we'll see if you can still smile tomorrow. Hmm I'm impatient, how would the boy react if he knew Agas would get engaged?" hiss Rika while writing something in a chat message with the name 'My Lovely' which displayed Annisa's face.

After making sure the message was sent, Rika deleted it. Not only the message she wrote, but also the name of Annisa from the row of chat histories of Ghaisan. Rika turned to the bathroom door and grinned faintly at the sound of Ghaisan still being heard muttering.
