When the ego has mastered itself, will it all look the same?

Fifteen minutes ago I just quietly chose which ring I thought was simple but meaningful. A little confused, anyway. Uh! But it's okay. Nyari suitable feeling only time huh?

“Mbak! Mbak!” call me to the waitress who's being idle.

“There can I help you with, Sir?”

What did he say? Sir? Is that as old as I am? I look manly today. Uh! But it's true, too, anyway. Besides, I will be a father if I have children.

“Can see that ring?” point me to the white gold ring that looks dazzling to my heart's eyes. No! It means the eyes that make it look.

“Oh! That's all right, sir. Please see first, maybe you are interested. I tell you, yes, sir. This ring includes a limited edition, you know, sir. The material used is premium quality with a price that is still relatively medium. Come on, sir, just take it. Surely cool. Kinclong really it's the ring,” said the saleswoman at length.

“Mbak, not how expensive and cool the ring is. But how intent does a man bring into bondage is named seriousness. Well that new ring can look cool.”

Why are you gawking so? If you are fascinated with me, please end it immediately because I have been labeled a future husband. I don't want to find potential bullies in my relationships.

The salesman just clapped his hands as if he had just witnessed an incredible show. The salesperson said, “Pak, Mr. is one of the new customers I met who has great thoughts. I salute you, Sir. Lucky who became the wife of the Father later.”

I replied with a charming smile like Wake Up Hidayatulloh. After that, I refocused myself on the ring I was currently trying to look deeper into.

While being focused on the ring that I claimed to look beautiful, suddenly my phone rang. The people around me turned towards me.

How not, because I use a ringtone typical of the voice of old phones. This ringtone I used when I first held the phone. Until now, anyway.

I just smile at the people around me. Saying an apology through a look.

“Mbak! Keep the ring on for a second, okay? I want to pick up the phone first,” my message to the salesman earlier, and be taken by him.

“Build! Oh Wake!”

The sound of Love makes Wake up upset. Wake up still remembered with sentences from his other friends about Love. The twins Edo and Ado said, Wake up does not look like a man with Love. He said Wake up is not macho.

Actually Waking up is not too dizzy said Edo and Ado. But over time Wake up so agree with their every word.

Also, Wake up who can't stop if Love irritates her. They also often make fun of Waking if Waking was ever made to cry by Love.

“Why, anyway?!” tanya Wake up when she sees Love coming home.

“Kok, angry? Me, I'd like to apologize for that. Sorry, yes,” said Love.

“Nmobile. Males sorry you.”

“Kan, I'm sorry. Usually also forgiven, kok.” Love is still ngeyel.

Having no response from Awakening, Love leaves something to Awaken. “Nih!”

Waking up just frowned in wonder because Love gave a toy phone. Answering the confusion Wake up, Love said if the phone is Love buy because of pity with the seller who has not been able to customers.

Love also says it as a memento when they grow up. Wake up just accept it without saying anything. It makes love sad.

After that, Awake immediately closed the door of his house and left Love alone.

Love finally turned towards her home. Let Wake up with all her irritation to him because Love accidentally said if Wake up afraid of caterpillars.

Since then, both Awake and Love have rarely been together. Seen from the Wake who avoids Love when Love wants to talk with the Wake.

Whenever Cinta wants to play to the house Wake up, Wake up will lock the door if Wake up has begun to hear the name of Love. Avoiding Love is like one new habit to Wake up. Making Love angry on its own.

Though Love also apologizes to Mother Ajeng and Daddy Evan, even the parents of Awaken also persuaded Wake up so as not to marahan with Love. But Wake up just silently listening to the words of Mother and Daddy to Wake up to forgive Love.

Until one month later, news of Love's move reached the ears of Wake up. Waking up thought it was just the underworld of Love so that he would talk again with Love.

But in fact after a week of news of the move of Love, Wake up was amazed by the state of the house of Love is quiet. Wake up directly to Mother to ask about the move of Love.

It is true, Love family moved to Jakarta.

“Mother lied, right?” tanya Bangun demanded.

“Dih, why do Mother lie. Check your own empty house leaping , tuh,” said Mother.

“Kok, Love is not saying good to me, yes,” monologue Wake up. Mother who heard that also said, “ besides you, anyway. The Love wants to see you, you're upset, right? Though Love at that time wanted to say goodbye, loh. He said let you not go. Uh! You are not clear amused like Mommy to your Daddy it.”

Wake up just silently hearing the words of her mother. After that, Wake up ran outside the house. Wake up and run to the house of love. The next-door neighbor.

In front of the fence that is still tightly closed, Wake up just silently looking around the house of Love. Saddened? Its clear. Wake up who only knew if he had a friend at that time as pleasant and irritating as Love finally had to be lonely.

Until days later, every Wake home school, he will visit the house of Love that has not changed at all. Only quiet with a yard that sometimes wake up look clean because Wake often see people who clean.

Waking Up is not ready if Love is gone from her days. Was moody because of Love, but Mother also said if every meeting there would be a farewell. Although Waking up at that time does not really know the meaning, but Mother Ajeng also said that Waking up later, Waking up can be reunited with Love.

“Halo! Assalamu’alaikum,” I greet the caller who turns out to be the future mother of my children later.

“Waa’alaikumsallam. Mas, haven't come home yet, huh?”

Subhanallah, his voice creeps at once adem in the heart. No need to drink ice water. Listen to this one the thirst just stopped. Let people say I'm lebay, alay and the like. The important thing is that I stay happy.

“Eh! Yeah, not yet. Wh why? Want to drop something?”

I am applying the principle of attention. She said women like to be given that attention, don't they, anyway? Not just for now, but if God allows me to want death to separate. Haha...

“Ehm... Yes I have something, yes.”

“OK, what do you want to drop? Let me take note of all of you let's not forget.”

“You sure you want to note, huh? If I leave your heart guarded for me, would you also note?”

Duileh, why is it that I became like a woman got flabby like this, anyway? I shook my head inexhaustibly. It turns out that my wife-to-be has not changed.

He is her. Which always makes me flutter. Which is always there every time I think. And meeting him feels even nano-nano. All the feelings seemed to alternate to dominate each other.

Uh! But I did not realize so smile when I heard the prospective wife gombalin me. You-you look at the glass of the shop I smile again. It turns out that the charm of him remains the number wahid for me.

She is the woman God sent to test all the advantages God has bestowed on me. And in the end I just went back to gratitude.
