“Indian action movies, children's drama, horror, action or romantic movies?” ask Vishnu.

“What's up, Mas. As long as it's not a horror movie. Haifa is afraid, Haifa is going to sleep alone,” Haifa replied with goosebumps of fear.

“So if his sleep is accompanied by dare to watch a horror movie?” vishnu asked with a face that teased Haifa.

“Stay scared,” Haifa replied.

Vishnu laughed at Haifa's reply.

“Haifa...Haifa.fear it not be the same ghost, but fear the same people alive. Because they can kill and rape,” Vishnu said.

“Haifa is afraid of both, Mas,” Haifa replied with a frown.

“Then we watch a romantic drama want? But the western film is not an Indonesian film,” said Wisnu.

“Which picture is it?” haifa asked as she watched the movie posters on the wall.

“That's.” Vishnu pointed to a movie poster starring a famous singer.

“About what it is, Mas?” ask Haifa.

“Oke.”

“What do you want? There's popcorn, there's bread, there's cake. It is up to you to choose what,” said Vishnu.

Haifa looked at the cakes one by one. Everything looks good.

“Mas everything looks good. But everything is not good for the health of Mas Vishnu,” said Haifa.

“It's okay to occasionally eat junk food as long as not too often,” replied Vishnu.

“Haifa wants popcorn,” Haifa replied.

“Popcorn what flavor? Want something sweet or salty?" ask Vishnu.

"The caramel taste is good too, " said Vishnu.

“Haifa wants popcorn spicy balado," Haifa replied as she pointed at the spicy popcorn image..

“Don't be spicy! The others only. If the former hold popcorn continue to rub my eyes later so sore eyes,” said Vishnu.

“Haifa promises not to rub my eyes,” says Haifa.

Vishnu sighed.

“Mbak ask popcorn spicy balado medium one, which salt medium one,” said Vishnu to the cafe employees.

Vishnu turned back to Haifa.

“What do you drink?” ask Vishnu.

“Mau medium coke,” Haifa replied.

“Mbak, drinking medium two coke plus popcorn cookies and cream one,” said Wisnu.

“Good, Sir.”

With a swift staff of the cafe prepared all orders of Vishnu. When it was finished Vishnu paid for all his orders. Hearing his nominal number Haifa was instantly shocked. Vishnu willing to spend enough money just for him. After paying everything Vishnu brought his order.

Vishnu's right hand held Haifa's back while his left hand carried a bag containing food. Vishnu takes Haifa into the intended theater. After finding a bench according to their ticket number, they can sit quietly. Vishnu gave a bag containing food to Haifa.

Haifa tasting popcorn cookies and cream.

“Enak, Mas,” praise Haifa.

“Mas deliberately bought it for you,” replied Vishnu.

Before the movie started there was a horror movie commercial, Haifa immediately hid her face onto Vishnu's shoulder and blocked his eyes by using the palm of his hand. Vishnu immediately turned to Haifa who was frightened and then rubbed the veil of Haifa.

“There is no ghost,” said Vishnu.

Haifa let go of her hand and turned to the screen, but suddenly a ghost came again. Haifa reflexively hid her face again on Vishnu's shoulder. Finally Vishnu let Haifa hide his face during the horror movie commercial aired.

After several movie ads passed, the film finally began. Haifa watched while eating her popcorn. Vishnu occasionally glanced at Haifa who focused on watching while engrossed in eating popcorn. But when there are scenes of pe-luk-an and ci-um-an Haifa directly close his eyes and block his eyes with the palm of his hand. Seeing Haifa's reaction, Vishnu simply smiled as he shook his head.

Haifa is like a child who has not been allowed to see adult scenes. Haifa continued to do this during her adult scenes, until the film was finished and the lights were turned on. They also came out of the theater.

“We pray ashar first, yes,” said Vishnu when out of the cinema.

“Ya, Mas,” Haifa replied.

Vishnu took Haifa by the hand and led her to the musholla.

After finishing the prayer Vishnu did not go back to the car, but he instead brought Haifa back into the mall.

“Mas, why would you come back here again?” haifa asked confusedly.

“There are some who are looking for,” replied Vishnu.

Vishnu took Haifa somewhere. But when passing Marygold Clock at five o'clock just right, Marygold Clock time to play the music. Six dolls came out of the marble columns and played a musical instrument.

Haifa heard the sound of music instantly stop and turned towards the clock. When Haifa stopped walking, Vishnu stopped walking.

“Mas, Haifa wants to see this first,” Haifa said as she pointed to Marygold Clock.

“Iya, may,” replied Vishnu.

Vishnu also let Haifa watch dolls playing musical instruments. Five minutes of music is over. And the dolls of the music players went back into the marble columns.

“Funny, yes Mas,” praise Haifa.

“Marygold Clock will beep every hour for less than five minutes,” Vishnu said.

“Every hour? If old shopping here can continue to see Marygold Clock,” said Haifa.

“Let's go again, " said Vishnu.

Vishnu took Haifa's hand back. Vishnu did it not without cause, he was afraid Haifa separated from him and lost in the mall.

Haifa followed the steps where Vishnu went. Until the end they arrived at the prestigious department store located in the mall.

Vishnu approached SPG who was standing in front.

“Mbak, bags for women where, yes?” ask Vishnu.

“On the first floor, Sir,” replied SPG it.

“Thank you, yes Ma'am,” said Vishnu.

Vishnu walks into the shop to find the escalator to go down to the first floor. After descending to the first floor Vishnu approached the place of bags for women.

Vishnu approached Haifa.

“Haifa choose the bag you like. Buy it for you,” said Vishnu.

“No need, Mas! Haifa still has the bag,” Haifa said showing her the bag had started to shabby.

“Mas buy it as a sign of thanks. Because Haifa already wants to accompany Mas to the salvation of his son Reza,” said Vishnu.

Vishnu tried to persuade Haifa to accept his gift on the grounds of thanks because Haifa wanted to accompany him. Though in the heart of Vishnu the most in Vishnu wants to give everything to women who are willing to give their time and attention to him. Of course slowly and one by one, not at once. Vishnu was afraid that Haifa would run away from him if he gave it all at once.
