The night began to rise. That night Love sat on the porch of her house while enjoying the silver glow of the goddess of the night. The moon shines brightly, the full moon looks beautiful and a pity to miss.
"Love, comein! It's night, the night air is not good for health," one woman scolded from inside the house.
"Yes ma'am, in a minute." Still staring at the giant ball-spinner up there.
"Tomorrow you go to work, right?"
"Of course" said Love.
"Then from that, sleep. You get less rest when you get up early and come home late at night, you have to take care of your health, honey," Tania said, the woman who twenty-five years ago struggled to give birth to Love.
"Yes, okay. Love sleep now, Mother also rest yes. Love goes to room." The beautiful girl got up from her chair, guiding Tania towards the room.
"I'm sorry, Mother Love, all this time I've only been troubling you" said the middle-aged woman.
"What is this mother talking about?"
"Mother does suck, Mother is useless" Tania said regretfully.
"Love doesn't like you talking nonsense like this."
"But the truth is, I'm sick. Why do you live if it only troubles you."
"Quite Ma'am, I never felt bothered by Mom. Mother is the only family I have, please ... Stop saying that shit again" said the girl. "Good night, Mom. Good night to sleep."
After enveloping her mother, Love hurried to leave the room. I don't think he can do it if he has to stay there for a long time. Especially what will happen if by saying like that alone has made Love cry.
Tania used to say that to her daughter. The husband, Dimas, had returned to the lap of God when Love was still in junior high school. Living a hard life as a widow, Tania also had to struggle to make a living to support herself and her only daughter. Not to mention the weak heart disease that he had suffered for a long time, making Cinta also spend her teenage years working hard.
When other children his age were busy playing after school, Love even spent the day working part-time at the laundry. Not infrequently the girl went home if the clock has shown the number nine. Lucky Love includes a smart child, while working he can still steal time to learn.
It was not easy for the girl to get the bachelor's degree she was currently achieving. After a long bloody struggle, with hard work and strong determination, Cinta finally successfully completed her education.
Tania could not help but hold a puddle in her eye if she remembered that. In that simple house are all memories. The house that became the only relic of the husband became a silent witness when in every night Tania continued to mutter prayers. The strands of hope and sincere prayers he said, he forcefully banged on the door of the sky, hoping that the Lord Jesus would generously bestow happiness on his only daughter. Hope that the pain and misery in the past will be replaced with beauty in the future.
Clumps of cotton-white clouds lined up to welcome the arrival of the ruler of the sky. The great-grandson of the bird is unpretentious, blending into beautiful symphonies as dew drops fall on the foliage.
Love has been neat with her work suit. After eating breakfast, the girl said goodbye to go to the office.
"Love go yes Mom, don't forget the medicine is taken. Call me if there's anything."
"Yes, be careful on the road, son. The spirit of his work." Tania looked at the full extent of Haru as Love grabbed and kissed the back of her hand.
"Of course my mother, honey. Thanks to my current job, our family's economy is improving. So you no longer need to sell cakes or work odd jobs anymore," said Cinta. "Bye, Mother." Love waving hands.
Tania went back inside after making sure her daughter was not seen again.

As soon as she got off the bus stop, Cinta rushed to swing her legs towards the office building where she worked. Preparing all the needs of his boss is also part of his job, including small things such as preparing snacks.
Love turned as footsteps grew closer. A handsome figure appeared there. His stout body was clad in a blue shirt with a navy tie. Shiny black pantofel shoes from the famous factory wrapped the long legs. The side-by-side haircut that is drizzly, also masculine fragrance that is so distinctive further adds to the impression of handsome and classy.
"Have you come?" Love glanced at his watch, not usually William came this early.
"Yes. Do you come early every day?" William often heard the praise of office people who said that the secretary of Love always came earlier than other employees.
"Ah, not really. Are you healed?"
William pushed the doorknob, Love tailed him behind. "What's my schedule today?" William asked shortly after landing his butt in his swivel chair.
"Eight Fathers had a meeting with a company from China to follow up on a cooperative plan for the construction of a shopping center on the island of the Gods. Then at eleven o'clock you must attend a lunch with representatives of Wang Group ..."
William listened well when Cinta read out her schedule today. However, as he tried to focus, he recalled his plans last night.
Wherever William went on business, there was always Love beside him. William was truly grateful that Love was so reliable. His work has also been light since the girl's presence.
The sky had soared, a tinge of orange light slowly fading away. The faces of fatigue so plastered real in almost all employees who work in the building. One by one the many employees began to disperse, as well as Love. Just as the girl was stuffing personal items into her bag, William suddenly arrived.
"Love, are you going home?"
"Yes, Sir. Is there any more work?" Love asked back.
William shakes. "none. Hm ..." William seemed hesitant, he really didn't know where to start.
"What's up, sir? You sick, or need something?"
"It's not like that. Hm ... Oh my God," sighed William.
Love is increasingly confused to see the facial expressions of his superiors, William is restless and like people are being misbehaved.
"Ehm!" William cleared his throat to neutralize the rumble in his chest. "So gini, can you come with me to dinner? There's something I want to talk to you about," he asked.
"Ooh ... I guess what you want to talk about. You can, sir if it's about the business of mah, but if you can go home not too late, I'm afraid I can not go home later," said Love slipped a joke.
"You don't have to worry, I'll take you home later."
"Ah, no need sir, I'm just kidding. Don't be so serious."
An arch appeared at both corners of the man's lips. Love was stunned for a while, because he had never seen William smile.
William drove his car to a fancy restaurant located not far from his office. Throughout the journey of the heartbeat Love really cannot be conditioned. Not because Love just sits alone, near the man, no. The two often sit side by side in a car while on a business trip. What's different this time is, they're actually in one car with no driver. Happiness and nervousness mixed into one. This is the first time Cinta has been near a man she has admired since she was in a blue and white uniform.
Love is shocked when William opens his car door as soon as they reach the parking lot of a fancy restaurant. The girl continued to walk in William's footsteps.
"Sir, not wrong? We're gonna discuss work at a fancy restaurant like this?" Love still thinks that William brought her here on business.
"I didn't say that, just now," William chimed in.
"What's? Mean Father?"
"Sit down first."
For the umpteenth time Love made a heart sport, William pulled a bench for him at a special table that had been reserved before.
"I invite you here not to discuss work issues, but for personal matters" William explained as soon as the man sat facing Love.
Love was still unmoved, her gaze continuously scanning the man in front of her.
William smiled in a knot, and it even made Love seem to fly into the clouds. The man took out a velvet box from inside his suit pocket.
"Love, marry me" he said, steady."
"What's? Mm ... Married," said Love, faltered.
"Yes, marry me" William repeated.
Connect ....
