Tian pulled over his car, stopping on a street full of used for impromptu traders.

"Don't go again Mia!"

He kissed my lips that had not yet answered his words. How to release? If all I feel is the recompense of every prayer I pray.

I close my eyes, enjoy all the flavors.

"Hey.... Don't park here sir! Close up the sales person."

One of the merchants, hit Tian's windshield slowly. We flinched when we realized what had just been done.

"Let's go!"

I hid my face in shame. Tian took my hand.

"I love you Mia. I don't need an answer right now, but think about it."

"What about Wulan?"

"I'll be straightforward. There will be a family meeting tonight. That's where I'll explain."

"But don't bring my name to Tian. We've just been friends."

"No, just calm down...."

I enjoyed this trip. Looking at a road full of speeding vehicles is like a fear of abandonment. Like me, who enjoys this togetherness. I wanted to have Tian but was afraid of losing Wulan.

The more intimate we become. Some times he left no longer with Wulan. Tian asked me to take Kiyah with us, she said as a rehearsal if later, I accept her proposal.

Like Tonight, we were walking around enjoying the view of this town square. Several times Tian invited me to stop to taste snacks that seemed interesting to him.

Kiyah never got out of her trunk. Kiyah enjoyed it too much. After a long time he no longer met Mas Wandi. They quickly become familiar.

"When we get married, how many children do you want?"

"Goddessa..."

"Why? His name is also 'dangan."

"I don't dare think that far."

"From now on you have to think. I'm gonna be serious." Tian took my hand and placed it on his chest.

"Think later, if it's official."

I pinched Tian's waist and immediately ran avoiding his pursuit. Kiyah laughed happily as Tian carried her running away in a sling.

I still think it's all just a dream. So quickly did God grant my prayers with happiness. I was afraid to wake up and realize that Tian wasn't created for me.

"Hey.dream again."

We sat on a long bench under the lamp. Look at the stars that never seem to be alone. Beautiful, as beautiful as my dreams are right now.

"I'm afraid it's a dream."

"It's real Mia, I'll always be there for you."

"If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up, let me sleep long, enjoy this happiness."

"Let me realize your dream. I'll make you happy. I promise."

I rested my head on Tian's shoulder. Kiyah had also started sleeping, enjoying Tian's shoulder as a backrest.

Sunday morning. I enjoyed my day off to play with Kiyah, we haven't been out of the room since. Comforting myself for not being able to meet Dika. Kiyah pulled out all her toys, she looked happy to have a friend to play with. During her stay with Grandma she probably didn't feel as good as playing with Mama.

Tok.dok...

There was a knock on my door, stopping our play. She looked at me at the door, pointing to the front room.

"There's a guest, he says he wants to run Mia."

"Who's Ma'am?"

I remember who Mother meant.

"Chick or Boy?"

"girls. That was the one who came here with Tian, when he sent you."

"Ooh....Ja. Wulan."

"Mom doesn't know. Hurry up and see him like he's sad."

I looked at Kiyah who looked disappointed her game was interrupted.

"Just a minute, baby. Mama wants to see Auntie Wulan first!" I kissed Kiyah's forehead, and left it to Mom.

"Wulan," call me.

Although Wulan was standing and facing outwards, but I'm sure it was her. I don't have many friends. He's one of the friends I'm gonna keep.

"Mia, come with me for a second! I have something to talk about."

"What's the problem with Wulan?"

"I'll tell you everything later."

I'm trying to guess what Wulan is going to talk about. It has something to do with Tian.

"Just a minute, I'm ready!"

Wulan nodded her head weakly. Sadness on his face. It scared me to know what he was going to say.

After preparing and saying goodbye to Dad, Mom and Kiyah. I went back to see Wulan who had gotten into her car. That white car was the first time I could get in. We usually walk three using Tian's car.

Wulan drove her car into a mall. Then he asked me to order a meal at a fast food restaurant with a picture of an old man. He just ordered a drink. It seemed like the matter Wulan was going to talk about was very heavy, no smile had emanated from her lips since just now.

We chose to sit, in the corner. It looks like a city full of glass that I made a backrest.

"Tian didn't accept our engagement."

Without further ado Wulan began her speech. Now tears began to reminisce in his eyes. "Say he can't be with me. There was another woman he had long loved."

I let Wulan spill all the burdens on her mind.

"I'm ashamed, Mia. All this time I have considered him my future priest. Turns out she thinks I'm nothing more than a sister." Wulan continued, while occasionally wiping away the slowly falling tears. "He loves someone and lets my love clap one hand. I'm not attractive, so he doesn't want to try to love me."

I took a deep breath. I no longer enjoy the food in front of me. Only I took the small crumbs, put them in my mouth bit by bit.

"Do you know who the woman Tian loved?"

"Well...Wh-what?" I was shocked to hear the sudden question from Wulan.

"You guys have been friends for a long time. I thought Tian would share a secret with you."

Huk...

I coughed, a small crumb of chicken thigh flour tickled the throat.

"Sorry Wulan. I'm a sniffle."

Wulan got me a drink. I drink no more straws. The water in the glass was immediately washed out. Wulan continued her words. "I want to see who the woman Tian loves. I want to see how beautiful she is? as rich as what? so that it could make Tian unable to turn away from her."

"Am I less beautiful, Mia? Why do you think Tian rejected me? I'm less what?!"

Wulan could no longer hold back her emotions, her voice slightly raised, some people turned their attention to us, But Wulan no longer cared. She came back crying.

"Huu...You're my friend Mia, please tell me my flaws. I want Tian....Huuuu."

"I hate the woman that Tian loves, Huuu....He took my Tian."

I hugged Wulan trying to calm her down. My clothes have been soaked by her tears

"I'm sorry wulan. If you knew that woman was me. Can you still consider me your friend?"

Seriate.....
