"What time is Richard in Jakarta, Manda?" tanya Dance her mother-in-law.

"Say ten landing, Mom."

"Yaudah, pas means the show starts at that hour. Mommy has arranged everything, tomorrow you just pick up Richard as usual so he does not suspect."

"Yes, Mom. I told you I'd pick you up tomorrow and go straight to our house."

"Ok, be careful, baby. Inget do not ketapean, if tired of rest," said Tari remind his daughter-in-law.

"Yes, Mom. Thanks...." The phone call ended after the two said see you.

Waiting for the coming of tomorrow more and more makes Amanda deg Degan heart. She really can't wait to give a surprise to her husband who until now is still Amanda cuekin.

Amanda would have a little prank on Richard until tomorrow morning before the man left for Jakarta, he thought.

"Miss..," call Vania over to her boss' desk.

"What's wrong?"

"Mona Monik is below. He said he wanted to see Miss," said Vania timidly.

Amanda clucked, annoyed at the woman's name. Disappearing since she was about to get married the other day, makes Amanda angry with her.

Monik did not know where during these nearly three months, he disappeared like in the swallow of the earth. As a result of all the cloth he ordered from his business partner, until now no one has come because of the Monik that disappeared.

"Why do you say?" ask Amanda.

"No idea Miss, she just said she wanted to see Miss."

Amanda took a deep breath trying to calm down, the doctor said she should not be stressed. Maybe it would be better for them to talk, he thought.

"Jaudah, call me here."

Vania nodded and passed down to the bottom floor calling out Monik. That woman has looked thinner since the last time she came here, Vania thought.

"Hi Manda" said Monik standing in front of the desk of a co-worker whom he had considered a friend.

"Would you like to come here?!" ask Amanda not to look at Monik.

She just busied herself staring at the dress design sheet in her hand.

"Don't bust so many times, Manda...."

"Nobody's tired, I'm like this from the sonna!"

The laughing monik sat at the table without being asked. "Lo don't miss what's the same with me? We haven't seen it in a long time."

"What do I miss about Lo?! I'm like I'm a Lo!"

Monik was silent to hear the word lakik, he was suddenly sad because he could not attend the wedding of his coworkers.

"Lo what do you want to come here?!" ask Amanda again not to look at Monik.

"Gue's gonna apologize."

This time Amanda was silent. He was waiting for an explanation of what the Monik would give him.

"I'm sorry that I disappeared and I'm not responsible for our cooperation. Sorry also because I can't attend the wedding elo yesterday, I .. I have a reason for that, Manda."

The Monik voice rang out, Amanda finally willing to look up at the woman with her blackened eyes.

"Lo why? Lo sick?" amanda asked in shock at the Monik's appearance.

"No pa-pa, I'm still healthy for today."

"I mean elo?"

"I'm sorry, Manda. Don't be mad at me again so I can go quietly."

Amanda frowned standing up from her chair. "Lo why? Don't speak so clearly!"

Amanda pulled Monik away to her soft sofa chair, sitting next to the woman who started crying.

"Lo why, anyway?"

"No pa-pa, Manda."

"Don't boong, tell me the same story if there's a problem."

"No, I don't want to make Lo burdened with my problems."

The woman with the hair she had cut short breathed a long, hard-earned breath she came here after being allowed out for a while by the doctor who handled it.

"Gue's sick, Manda."

"illness?" Monik nodded. "What pain?"

"Cancer blood, stage two."

"What?!" Amanda shut her mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, I haven't heard in months because I've been doing chemotherapy abroad. I just got back yesterday, and I wanted a doctor to come here today. I want to apologize elo, I'm afraid I can't hold on and-"

"Don't say anything, Nik!" cut Amanda fast.

"Lo will definitely be healed, don't talk as if we're going to be separated forever. I don't like it, and I don't want to hear it out of Lo's mouth! You have to be strong, your future is still long. Don't miss that disease!" keep Amanda sincere.

"Thank you, Manda. Thanks for apologizing to me." The cries of happiness and pain mixed in the heart of the Monik.

The woman was happy because she still had friends as good and caring as Amanda. Struggling alone abroad without being known to anyone including his family, Monik desperately tries to recover until the doctor says that he can go home to his country and continue outpatient there.

That's what made Monik decide to come today to Amanda's boutique and apologize to her.

He thought that if a person's age no one knew, it would be better for him if he said goodbye now, Monik thought.

"Udah, don't cry anymore. Lo now focus on treatment Lo first, do not think of the others. I'm sure you'll be able to heal!" Amanda rubbed the back of the hand Monik, softly.

"Yes, thank you, Manda."

Amanda nodded hugging Monik's much thinner body now. Their closeness had once made the Monik's position in his life meaningful.

Moreover, all this time they had always been together, a little bit of success he now also came from Monik. The woman was observant enough with the fabric materials of the dresses and clothes that Amanda made, to satisfy her customers.

"Gue wants to move Lo to my new home, but I don't think Lo can come." Amanda let go of their embrace.

"New house? Do you have a home now?"

"Yes, Richard bought it."

"Wah .. I'm in the art for elo, Manda. Congratulations, I really want to go. But like my doctor will not permit me," said Monik memelas.

"No pa-pa, later if you're healed. Free Dateng when I go to my house. Who knows if I'll be born later Lo can Dateng."

Monik jerked. "Corner?" Amanda nodded.

"You mean, Lo's pregnant now?"

"Yes, I'm pregnant. I just found out yesterday."

"Jeez .. congratulations, Manda. Finally Richard's bird is of no use, too, well...."

Amanda laughed at the monik.

"Right, I think he just knows the heart" Monik continued laughing with Amanda.

"Where am I not pregnant, the birds just turn down every day."

Laughter of happiness rang out filling Amanda's study. Seeing her co-worker who now looks more cheerful beside her makes Amanda calm.

May this happiness continue to accompany both, Amanda hoped in her heart.
