Anin sat by the roadside, then reached for a letter from Mateo. Anin sighed before opening the letter, after which Anin opened the envelope and took out the contents. Open the folded paper and start reading it.
Terto Anin.
Anin sorry, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you if I had to go back to Jakarta.
I'm sorry, because I haven't had time to take your mother for treatment. I just hope your mom is always okay.
Anine....
I promise someday I'll come back to see you and take your mother for treatment.
Anin..wait for me to come back.
By Mateo.
Anin smiled after reading the last sentence, if she had to wait for Mateo to come back to see him but on the other hand she could not see him anymore.
Sir, I will continue to await your arrival. Anin said softly in his heart, which now had the name Mateo engraved in the bottom of his heart. There's a million hopes that he'll be reunited with Mateo.
In the decapannya letter from Mateo, hope Mateo soon return to meet him and also hope that Mateo reciprocate the feelings he felt.
Anin looked at the clear sky, trying to present the figure of Mateo up there who was smiling looking at him. Anin smiled and wanted to reach him but it was all just a pseudo-shadow.

Time just keeps rolling from month to month, Dira and Darren's relationship is getting more friendly, and the two often spend time in bed, whether it's exercising in bed or telling their daily stories every day. Darren also bought a motorcycle on Dira's advice, so that Darren would not walk again when leaving and returning from work.
Likewise with Anin who always awaits the arrival of Mateo. If Anin visited the place he had been with Mateo, Anin always remembered Mateo. A million yearnings in the depths of his heart that were growing.
Dira awoke from his sleep and glanced to the side where Darren usually slept. Dira sighed because until now Darren has not returned home. Dira got up from the bed and walked to the dresser, where his phone was on the charger. Dira turned on his phone and looked at the clock on his phone and also checked the incoming messages. No message from Darren, just a message from his schoolmate's WA group.
Dira opted out of the room and sat in front of the carpeted television. Turn on the television, look for interesting events and Dira chose dangdut talent show. Almost an hour Dira sat in front of the television and Dira glanced at the clock on the wall which was aimed at ten o'clock in the evening.
"Why not come home yet anyway," restless Dira.
Dira picks up his phone and calls Darren but until a few times on the phone, Darren doesn't pick up the phone. Dira called back to him but now Darren's phone is off, Dira was immediately shocked by anxiety because now Dira can not contact Darren especially now the rain makes Dira more worried about fear that Darren rained when he came home and will result in Darren's pain and also his body will shiver when exposed to rain.
Darren told me he was overtime today. Although worried Dira continues to wait for Darren to come home, until it does not feel Dira asleep in front of the television.
At exactly half-twelve in the night, Darren came home. Darren unlocks the door of the house and is immediately put to sleep on the carpet with the television on. Darren smiled, then put his motorbike in a dead state so as not to disturb Dira who was asleep. Darren immediately chose to clean up and after that Darren went into the room to pick up a pillow and blanket, taking him where Dira slept. Darren instantly slept beside Dira and hugged Dira from the side.
"Sorry, I came home late" said Darren and kissed Dira on the forehead.
Dira woke up because he felt an arm coiled above his stomach. Dira glanced at Darren who was now watching the ball.
"When's he coming home?" whispered Dira.
Darren looked and smiled. "Hour half-twelve" Darren replied.
Dira immediately hugged Darren, his heart was relieved because Darren came home fine. Dira further tightened his embrace and now drowned his face in Darren's armpit and it made Dira feel comfortable drowning his face. According to Dira, lately Darren's armpits do not care Darren has not bathed and the smell of sweat. Dira also wants to always stick to Darren, even when Darren is bathing again though, Dira wants to continue to stick to darren. Even when sleeping, Dira wants Darren to continue to hug him and not face the other direction, if darren does not obey him, Dira will whine and end Dira crank while crying.
Dira also does not want if he is cuekin by Darren. Once Darren silenced Dira because he was too tired to work and it made Dira cry because he felt Darren changed.
"Why the hell? lately you've been drowning your face in my arm?" asked Darren who was astonished by Dira's behavior.
"I don't know either, but obviously your ketek smells."
Dira immediately kissed Darren's armpits and smelled Darren's armpits, after which Dira asked Darren to sleep facing him and in wanti-wanti not face the other direction. Darren just complied, though bewildered by Dira's increasingly spoiled changes to him. Whatever is always asked must be followed if Dira will not cry.
