...Why should you remember what you have lost, but not see what is in front of your eyes. ...
...Why do you still lament that you cannot have, while you can be grateful for what you have. ...
...Remember! ...
...All are born special on earth...
...The clouds with the sky ...
...Planet with moon...
...You are with me, with all my flaws ...

Tonight, after picking up Ercilia from her workplace. Dika invites Ercilia to a pretty luxurious and romantic restaurant. There, they enjoyed a quiet dinner, there was no conversation between the two.
"Aren't we usually going to places like this?" ercilia said opening her voice after she finished eating.
"Once in a while I want to enjoy a quiet atmosphere like this with you." replied Dika. They sat face to face separated only by a table.
I don't know where to start. Yes, today Dika wants to reveal her heart to Ercilia.
How's now?
She was very confused, even though she used to date her female friends. But for this is different. The clock kept turning but not a single sentence came out of Dika's lips. Dika just looked at Ercilia's face.
"Did something happen?" ercilia asked as she felt the atmosphere grow quieter.
"Yes." answered Dika.
"There's something I want to tell you" he continued.
"About?"
"About my heart." replied Dika as she continued to stare at Ercilia's face.
Ercilia instantly lowered her face.
"Cil." call Dika slowly.
"I feel.... I must declare to you, I love you Cil... "
Ercilia raised her face. For a moment he returned Dika's gaze. Then he lowered his face back.
Dika said back.
"I know maybe I'm not worthy to reveal this to you, because you're the lover of the Hero. I know, the figure of the Hero has taken up all the space in your heart. But, will you spare some of that space for me?"
"Sik, I feel it is impossible to replace Wira with someone else" Ercilia said softly.
"However, I realized, no matter how much I loved the Hero, he had passed..... "
"Cil, may I settle in the place that once belonged to the Hero in your heart?" ask Dika expectantly.
"Not as a replacement, but as a new Love?"
Ercilia felt a rumbling heartbeat before she finally nodded her head.

Ever since that night, the night where Dika honestly revealed his heart. Dika's relationship with Ercilia also underwent many changes. They are no longer just close, but also friendly. The closeness was also smelled by Rebecca and Dika's parents.
"When Mother sees you it seems to be getting closer to Ercilia" said Rose
"We've been made Bun."
The roses were clearly shocked.
"Are you serious?" rose asked, as if not believing what she heard."
Dika nodded confidently.
"You're not playing around like you used to, are you?"
"Bun, I have no intention to play Ercilia" Dika replied solemnly.
"What about Rebecca?" ask Mother Rose as if reminding Dika.
"What's wrong with him?"
"He's not your girlfriend?" ask Mother Rose again.
Dika laughed a little.
"Bun, Dika also just knew him. Dika is just friends with him."
"But you've made people's children wish. What is the slang of jama's son. Now that's Dik?"
"Baper? It's her own fault."
Plaque.. Plaque..
Rose hit Dika's arm hard.
"Sick Bun." cried Dika.
"Sense. So don't mess with the feelings of women. Remember this Mother is also a Woman. Remember you were born of a woman's womb." - Nagged her mother.
"Yes my dear Mother. Dika really understands, knows that."
"Why are you like that."
"What the Mother looks like. Listen, Bun, Dika never did or expressed love for Rebecca. If he baper for Dika's kindness. It means he who does not know puts his heart." Dika explained.
Sure enough, don't blame others for what they do. They do normal things. Damage to your heart is not the fault of others, but the fault of yourself that cannot keep your heart that wants more.
"So you're really serious about Ercilia?" ask Mother Rose seriously.
"Mother can keep Dika's promise." replied Dika no less serious.
Dika really kept his promise. Convinced that Ercilia is his true love. Dika asks his family to propose to Ercilia. It was only a few months later that he said his love to Ercilia. However, they decided to get engaged first, just two months later the two agreed to talk about the time of their marriage.
