The journey home Emili and Kinanti, several times faltered by traffic jams. The two girls chatted casually to get to know each other.
“Lo like what music?” emili asked, trying to drive away boredom.
“Em, R n B possible. Kayakanya fits the atmosphere this afternoon.” Kinanti looked around her which began to show the color change of the sky to orange.
“Good idea. I have a new playlist. Lo sure likes.” Emili turns on the music player that makes Bruno Mars sound. The fun music creates a warm atmosphere.
“Sound song,” Comments Kinanti. He also heard Emili singing and his voice was very good.
“What I'm saying is, I think we like the same genre of music." Emili's passion magnifies the volume of her music.
" By the way, how does it feel to be dating Kala? Excited gak?” suddenly the girl asked Kinanti. He glanced at Kinanti who was sitting next to him.
“Seru, When a good child.” Kinanti answered in truth.
“Udah ever kiss?” emili's question this time sounded weird.
Kinanti immediately pursed her lips and turned her head outside the window. Enili's question was too shocking. “Other questions aja.” Makes the girl's face red.
“Hahhaahha..lo expression instantly spell it all.” Emili laughed instead, as if she had managed to tease Kinanti.
“Casual time. I also kissed Riko. Among my guys, Riko was the best kisser. The three losers.” The girl said with jumawa.
“You mean, you have a girlfriend of four?” Kinanti turned back to look at the girl who was beside her. His confession was too shocking.
“Hahhaahha, yes. Why, surprised ya?” Emili chimed in casually.
“Emang Riko not angry?” Kinanti scrunched her forehead not understanding.
“Yaa, must be disappointed. Riko knows I'm naughty, she also knows that she's just my affair. Only he doesn't know that he's my third affair.” While driving Emili said casually.
“Astyria...” Kinanti to not believe.
“Hehehehe, relax. I think I'm going to live with my other three guys. I want to focus on my relationship with Riko. He knows me best and makes me happy the most. I laugh a lot, I don't laugh too. So, yeah.it looks like I messed up first. I love Riko and do not want to make her sad again.” Emili is serious. He turned his steering sixty degrees and turned towards the road towards Kinanti's house.
“Good choice Emili. We must prioritize the things that are important to us.” That was Kinnati's only comment.
“Iyaaa. Look at you the same Kala, I think a lot. If a person can be greatly affected by his partner. The proof is Kala, he changed a lot since he knew you. Not brutal, do not like the same noise as the motorcycle, do not like to fight in school and he began to obey the teacher. Good job Kinanti.” Emili appreciates Kinanti's efforts.
“Ngak Emili, Kala changed not because of me. Because he is basically a good boy. He himself who wants to change into his true and better self.” Kinanti slightly refuted Emili's words.
“Iyaaa, but I mean, you exist at a time of crisis of confidence and again determine his identity. You have a good influence and I salute you. I'm sorry if you're just as bad as you. I realized that you can really make people jealous. Don't know why.” Emili glanced at the smiling little Kinanti looking at the crowded street before her.
“Iyaa, I am also sorry if kemaren sempet make you kelin. I don't mean to envy anyone.” Kinanti said wisely.
“No, you don't have to apologize. You're actually not wrong. Envy is a matter of choice for others. I'm jealous because I don't have what you have, that's all. So envy is my problem as much as myself actually, not the same lo. Hem, how the hell clear, yes anyway glahi.” Emili confused herself with her sentence.
“Yes, I get it.” Kinanti immediately chimed in. He could understand Emili's simple mind. Envy is our real choice, choice when responding to the strengths of others.
“Thank God you understand. I hope, after this you still want to meet me.” Emili extended her one hand to Kinanti.
The two girls threw smiles at each other and tightened their hands which shook for some time until then they started to enjoy the atmosphere with a more relaxed and more pleasant chatter.

Tonight, Kinanti had just finished writing in her diary. He hadn't told me about it in a long time on that white sheet of paper. He also pasted some of Lukman's scattered paper width and put it together with his diary.
An incoming message pauses Kinanti activity. When he saw it turned out that the sender was Kala.
“Cantiiikk, what else? Have you eaten Malem?” A sweet smile immediately developed on the lips of a tiny Kinanti. Quickly he replied.
“Newly nulis. I was dong, I had dinner with my dad. Have you eaten?” reply Kinanti.
Kala replied with a photo of the snack he bought. There's some menu there and it looks tempting.
“Riko ngajak me around nyari food. Meet the good food street. Next time, I'll take you here. You must like.” Kala replied quickly.
“Iyaakk, it's really good as it is. I'm sampe drooling.” Kinanti gave a reply.
“Sabar yaa beautiful. Later we will come here specifically for a walk. I'm doing a play place here. So if we come here, we already know which place we want to go. By the way, what else is dad doing?” Among Kala's messages asking for news, Kinanti was always filled every time Kala asked Lukman news. There was a feeling he could not describe seeing Kala's attention to the father.
“So dad's getting some rest. Here I go to his room. Want to go back there.” Since returning home Kinanti has always accompanied Lukman. He would talk to his father and fall asleep on the sofa beside Lukman's bed. He did not want to spend the time he could spend with his father.
“PAP yes, I also miss father.” See, this kind of sentence always makes Kinanti touched.
The girl immediately went down and headed for Lukman's room. “Yaah... dad's asleep?” Kinanti knocked quietly on Lukman's room door and opened it slowly.
Lukman shook his head and smiled at the arrival of his daughter. He patted the spot beside him for Kinanti to get closer.
“When nanyain Dad, he said he missed Dad. We both take photos of Yah.” Kinanti immediately sat down beside Lukman and rested his head spoiled on Lukman's boat. They both smiled and took some photos for him to send to Kala.
“Calangin, take good care of yourself. Don't forget to eat.” That's what Lukman said to Kinanti.
“Okey, Kinan says the same Kala. She had dinner with Riko. But eat that snack, he said delicious. Here's the photo.” Kinanti showed a photo of Kala eating.
Lukman nodded, he also missed the handsome teenager who often invited him to talk.
“By the way Dad wrote what?” Kinanti saw a paper and ballpoint in Lukman's hand. The writing written by Lukman is quite long.
The middle-aged man showed his writing to Kinanti. “Tomorrow, help Daddy give this to HRD office yes. This is a letter of self-exclusion Father,” Lukman said as he swallowed his saliva rough.
Kinanti looked at the paper in Lukman's hand. The writing is not neat but the content is very touching.
“Iya Father, tomorrow Kinan anterin to Father's office,” said the girl.
He hugged Lukman tightly and affectionately. He knows it's a difficult farewell for Lukman. He has devoted half his age there and now has to separate because of impossible health conditions.
Meanwhile Lukman just smiled, he kissed the head of Kinanti. There was no sadness on his face because he realized that his time was over at the company. He could only give thanks because his workplace had given him a decent living so that he could finance his life with Kinanti.
