Brother, it's ripe. We had dinner, he said he wanted to make Tumis Buncis the same Fried Tempe." said Tiara.
Satria came to look at the dining table, there was already a side dish she asked for. Tiara brought Satria dinner, with a side dish requested.
"Thank you" said Satria.
"Same - same." said Tiara with a smile.
" Ehm.. It's really good, you're good at cooking too." praised Satria.
"Sister time? I rarely cook at home. Even those who often cook it Mother loh, I just eat." said Tiara.
"Truly, good vows."
Tiara smiled as she ate, as Satria continued to praise her homemade cooking, until Satria asked for more.

"Let's brother, I wash the dishes, brother if you want to relax, just relax. It's my job, so I'll do it." Tiara told Satria not to help her.
"What's wrong, let's ease your work" said Satria.
"Don't, let it go."
"When you force it, you want to relax on the front porch of the house" said Satria as he stepped his feet.
Tiara washed the dishes of her second dinner, then after washing the dishes Tiara wiped the dining table.
It had been 30 minutes Satria sat on the front porch of the house, not seeing Tiara following her sitting in front. Satria looked at her head and saw Tiara sweeping the floor. Then Satria stood up, and walked in.
"Sir, you are clean - clean. It's already dong, it's already night. Continue tomorrow, now put the broom." said Satria.
"It's okay, brother, I see it's not good if the floor is dirty, keep looking thanks, the sofa is dusty."
"Yes, but there's tomorrow morning. Now it's time to relax, your sister's marrying it's not to be a housekeeper."
"It's okay, brother, I'm rather than bete."
Satria then took a broom in Tiara's hand, and threw the broom. Satria stared intently at his wife, while Tiara remained silent.
"You said bete, don't you feel like you live here?" satria.
"Mom - not that brother, I just want to find activities" said Tiara explained.
"You can watch TV, play on your phone, if you don't want to talk to me. Don't keep doing the housework, Big Brother doesn't like the deck, you're not in his diem."
"I'm sorry brother."
"Are you not used to it?"
"I'm sorry brother, I'm awkward."
Satria smiled then held onto both hands of Tiara, who kept her head down.
"Why awkward?"
"Because brother is not my first love" said Tiara, Satria again let go of the hand that held her hand.
"Today - yesterday, you were ordinary. Now you're telling me that, it's awkward."
"I don't know the story yesterday, and when I do, we don't meet every day. Now we're one roof, I'm awkward."
"You should get used to it, because we're like this not for two days, but forever."
"Have you started to have any flavor?" tiara asked with a lift of her face.
"Have it, if you?" satria answered again.
"I, I. " said Tiara cut off.
"Don't answer again, you already know your answer deck" said Satria left Tiara who was still standing motionless.
"I still have no feeling" said Tiara, making Satria stop her steps, then resume her footsteps.
Tiara looked back, saw Satria enter the other room, then closed the door tightly.
"I'm sorry brother." said Tiara.

Inside the room, Tiara was still awake. Unable to sleep, Tiara sat on the bed, watching the clock at 12 p.m.
"You can't sleep, but it's 12 p.m." Tiara said.
Tiara then woke up and came out of her room, seeing the next room in Satria, tightly closed. Tiara finally decided to turn on the television, and took a snack that was in the refrigerator.
Tiara focused on watching TV shows, but her focus shifted to hearing the sound of the door opening.
" Want out, get some food. You can't sleep, why haven't you slept?" satria answered again.
"I can't sleep" Tiara said.
"Oh." said Satria continued her footsteps.
Tiara stared at Satria until the front door opened, suddenly Tiara shed tears by continuing to eat the snacks in her jar.
Hiks. hiks..
Tiara cried while eating a snack, until Satria unknowingly stood behind her. Satria hugged Tiara from behind, Tiara was startled and wiped her tears.
"Sister! " say Tiara.
"I'm sorry brother, if brother hurt you" said Satria.
"Sister, brother is not wrong."
"But why are you crying?"
"My eyes hurt my brother, so I cry."
Satria smiled with a peek at Tiara's head, and turned to sit next to her. Satria rubbed both of Tiara's eyes, which were hit by tears.
"Why can't you sleep?" satria asked with a close distance between the faces of the two.
"I don't know brother, if brother himself?" tiara answered again.
"Sama brother also does not know, you if you can not sleep like this?"
"Yes, I love snacking" Tiara smiled.
Satria stroked Tiara's right cheek, then her fingers gently rubbed Tiara's lips. Satria continued to stare at Tiara, until Tiara misbehaved.
"Do you want a night walk?" satria.
"Well, where are you going, brother? everyone is sleeping." said Tiara.
"The city does not sleep, many culinary tours night so many places we visit."
"Aren't you hungry?" tiara asked, and made Satria smile.
****
Tiara and Satria were on motorcycles, circling the city. The cold of the night wind, made Tiara embrace Satria's body from behind despite being wrapped in a jacket.
"What do you want to eat?" satria.
"What yes brother, confused." said Tiara.
"How do we eat sate kikil?"
"Can."
The motor also stopped at the seller sate kikil, seen buyers who queue. Satria was in line while Tiara chose to sit down.
"Daddy, what do you want to drink? want a warm one or a cold one?" ask Satria.
"It may be warm, brother, it may be cold." replied Tiara.
Satria ordered a warm tea, and a plate of boiled beans. While waiting for the order, the two ate boiled peanuts.
"So often here?" ask Satria.
"Often, sometimes it's the same as Nature or friends." replied Satria.
"Boyfriend?"
"Never" said Satria by peeling the pea skin.
"If we are often like this, we will be fat."
"Just let it be, it means we're happy."
"Not happy anymore, but very happy." Tiara said.
Orders came, two servings of satay kikil and sliced ketupat wrapped in peanut butter, both of which enjoyed dinner together on the side of the highway.
" Good right?" ask Satria.
"Sir son." replied Tiara.
