When he was about to get home from the cafe, Keira's phone suddenly rang. One call came from Leon.
''Hello Leon, what is it?''
''Hey, are you busy? I want to meet.''
''I happen to be outside again. Where you going to meet, Le?''
''In the city park. I'm waiting for you here.''
''Okay then. I was there immediately, Keira said as she ended her call.
Ten minutes later, Keira arrived. Leon's face looked bright when he saw Keira coming.
''Does anything matter, Le?''
''Sit down first, Kei. I want to ask you something. I've seen today the news about you with that guy. I didn't expect you to be close to such an amazing man.''
''Oh, that's Mr. Kevin. I don't know, it all just happened.''
''Then do you love him?''
Hearing Leon's question, Keira fell silent for a moment.
''Why is Kei silent?''
''I don't know. Our meeting was very short. I love Marvel, the only son of Mr. Kevin. The beginning of our meeting at the restaurant, then the meeting continued as I became an apprentice teacher at Marvel school. She was an introverted child so I tried to get close to her until she finally asked me to be her Mama. Even I balked but my refusal left him devastated until he finally fell ill. My relationship with Mr. Kevin is not so good because we always fight. I don't know how our wedding will be? It seems like this is just a compromise and do not know until when.''
''Kei, why are you making things difficult for yourself?''
''How else Le, all this is done. Moreover, the previous news is also enough to make me embarrassed, surely you have also seen it. So Mr. Kevin decided to marry me. Ah come on, I'm dizzy. I didn't expect to get married so soon. I'm confused myself, Le. I don't know what to do because I love Marvel. His mother died at the age of 3. Her father was too busy working and this is how Mr Kevin has been educating her.''
''I understand how you feel, Kei. You have a sincere heart even a child can feel your sincerity. But can we still be friends with Kei?''
''Of course you can, Leon. We will remain friends so you don't have to worry.''
''Would Mr Kevin be jealous if we were close?''
''Seems not jealous so just relax, hehehe. Anyhow maybe jealous. Don't talk about this anymore, I want to enjoy my free day.''
''I will comfort you. Do you want to see street music?''
''You ''you! Where is it, Leon?''
''It's at the end of the park over there. Come on!" Take Leon with Keira's hand. The atmosphere there was very crowded. Street musicians are very good at combining modern music with traditional musical instruments. Keira and Leon clapped each other. Leon was so happy to see Keira being able to smile without such a burden. Entertainment from Leon, can make Keira forget the burden of the mind that sways a few days. After the music show is over, Leon invites Keira to buy fireworks.
''You like to play fireworks too?''
''Iya. I really like playing this, Kei.''
''I think living abroad for too long makes you forget something like this.''
''Even abroad but I am still Indonesian blood. I love these fireworks, Kei. He looks ordinary, simple, the light produced is not so bright but he makes everyone happy and laugh. As simple as that is the reason I love these fireworks, just like I like you.''
''Like me? Meaning, Le?'' keira asked as she scrunched her forehead.
''Mmmm means to like as a friend. Since returning to Indo, you are the stranger I first knew.''
''Time anyway? A lot of bule there? Moreover, it must be beautiful and sexy as well, Keira slanted with her smile.
''Seeing such a scene was common, Kei. I prefer local produce, Leon said with a small laugh.
''What are local products? You're all here, Kei. Oh yeah did you not have a boyfriend before?''
''Ends up? Why then?''
''I don't want to talk about it anymore. He obviously just left me. My wait for so many years was in vain.''
''Surely that man is a foolish man.''
''What makes you think that way?''
''Yes he left the diamond like you just like that.''
''Oh Leon, you're flattering me too much. You know my head feels heavy because it is not strong to receive compliments from you.'' Keira said with a small laugh.
''Since the fireworks are gone, we should go home. I'll take you home.''
''I'll take the bike, Le. So you just go home.''
''It's okay, I'll follow you from behind. Anyway it's 10 o'clock past. I'm just khawtir.''
''All right then.'' Keira replied. Leon is very happy to have the opportunity to drive Keira home.

The next day at breakfast...
"Son, who drove you home last night? Kevin's son, huh?" ask Dad full search.
"Not Yeah. The one who dropped it off was my intern Leon. I was going to go home alone, but he didn't have the heart and chose to follow me from behind. Actually wanted to stop by, since it was night so she chose to go home."
"Son, listen to me. Bad neighbor talk has just been reddened so you should also take care of yourself. Especially about Mr. Kevin, he is not a random person so you should also be careful. Don't let him get into trouble again. Especially if Marvel knew, he would be very hurt. You gotta take care of all that, kid. Moreover, your wedding day is in sight."
"Dad, is there no other way but to get married?" ask Keira lirih.
"Mr Kevin already wants the responsibility of even making a clarification in public, how can you talk like that? You want to hurt all of our feelings? Especially with your closeness like that, I also do not want that your child is only in play. Please listen to my advice."
"Yes, yeah, sorry. I just want to enjoy my free time for a few days. Why does it all feel like a dream? I didn't expect to get married like this." Said Keira in a tone of despair.
After finishing breakfast and about to leave, Keira saw Kevin's car that had just stopped in front of his house.
"Mr Kevin," muttered Keira. But what came out was Marvel. Kevin still remains in the car while opening the windshield.
"Well, let's go! From now on, me and Papa will take Mama. So you don't have to take the bike or go alone anymore." Said Marvel.
"It has to be so?"
"Yes Mah. Because me and Papa will protect Mama." Marvel said sincerely. Keira was touched by what Marvel said. Keira then complies and agrees with Marvel's words. Marvel then took Keira's hand to the car and opened the front door of the car. Marvel sits in the back seat.
"Good morning, sir!" greet Keira.
"Morning too!"
"Mama forgot? Don't call me Sir" Marvel said.
"Sorry, Mama forgot. Alright from today Mama will get used to calling Mas."
"That's better. All right, Pah, let's go!"
"okay!" Kevin then re-applied his car.
