“Related is something you don't do when you have a chance”.


The night is getting late. The streets in the city of Bandung slowly began to deserted vehicles. The atmosphere of the night so cold did not dampen Nadia's intention to leave after receiving news from Dito.


He left in a hurry. He was walking towards the big road in front of his house, a few minutes later a young man stopped on his motorcycle, it was Dito. Before long, they left together.


Mira is curious about her brother's unusual behavior, then she decides to follow Nadia without her knowledge.


Mira stops ojek, then asks him to follow Dito. The night was getting late, making the night air even colder.


A few minutes later Dito stopped his motorcycle in the parking lot of a Cafe. The two of them enter the cafe, and Mira follows. Mira sees no one there, only the two of them and a few other customers.


“What they talk about,” Lirih Mira from behind the side wall of the Cafe parking lot.


From there he could see Nadia and Dito talking even though he could not hear what was being talked about.


Mira saw the clock on the back of her hand already showing at eleven o'clock at night. Suddenly from a distance Nadia was angry at Dito, he got up to leave but was blocked by Dito, then Nadia sat back down.


A silver car stopped at the cafe's parking lot, and a man got out of the car. Her face was not so foreign to Mira.


“Om Indra,” Lirih Mira, Surprised.


“What he did,” muttered Mira looked very surprised.


Indra approached Dito and Nadia's seat, not long after which Dito left the two of them. Mira closed half her face, as if to stop the prejudice that had been in her mind. Then Nadia went with Indra using her car.


“Sister Nadia,” Say Mira. He was determined to follow them.


But quickly a hand covered Mira's nose and mouth using a handkerchief. It made him unable to breathe until he was unconscious.


“Where are you going, gorgeous.” The owner of the hand sounded naughty. Two young men were already behind Mira.


“Hallo. You must love what I found.” A young man spoke through his cell phone.


“Bring him to my place.” Reply to a man from behind the phone screen. Then the two young men took Mira with their car.

“MIRA ... ” Said Alan while rising from his bed.


The night is getting late, suddenly one by one the rain falls alternately to the city of Bandung including the roof of his house.


Alan was slowly breathing. Sweat poured out from every pore in his body. He gulped down a glass of drinking water at his bedside table.


“Why do I dream Mira,” Lirih Alan felt astonished.


He looked at the clock on the wall of his room, showing it at 1 in the morning. Alan rose to the bathroom to wash his face.


Sweat was still washing his body. He grabbed his phone, but there was no notification from anyone. He threw the phone away without direction, then laid his body back down.


Suddenly he remembered Mira. Alan tried to punch his face with a bolster, Mira's sweet face again flashed through his mind.


“What the fuck this is,” Mumbled, not usually he has trouble sleeping because he thinks of a woman.


He got up from his bed and went down into the kitchen looking for something he could eat.


Alan took the martabak the rest of this afternoon. He ate it at the dinner table.


“Why did you see me?” Alan said, as if talking to the doll.


“You want martabak,” Add it offer martabak on the panda doll.


“I don't like you, and your former owner.” Alan said in a half-high tone. Then he put the martabak in his mouth.


“Alan.” A woman's voice surprised Alan.


Alan turned his head to the source of the voice, it turned out that his mother was already behind him.


“Mamah,” Said Alan, surprised.


“Who are you talking to?” Ask Nia, astonished.


“Nobody, mah.” Reply Alan. Nia sees Alan's hand holding a panda doll Mira gave to her sister. Nia smiled as she approached the boy.


“Alan. Regret is something you don't do when you have a chance.” Nia said as she gently stroked her boy's shoulder. Alan was just silently listening to what his mother said.


Nia opened the fridge and picked up a bottle of drink, then went back inside her room.


Alan was still silent in his position. His mouth was still filled with the rest of the martabak pieces that he had not had time to swallow, I don't know what was in his mind.


Soon he sat down at the dinner table and thought about his mother's words. All night Alan just kept silent in his room, while looking at the photo of Mira with Via and Nia that he took while in the hospital.


She was unable to close her eyes after hearing her mother's words at the dinner table.


“In the meantime I'll definitely be able to sleep.” It's so slow.


The sound of the night animals was still earthy decorating the night before that morning. Suddenly the sunlight appeared slowly from behind the glass window of his room. As soon as the atmosphere of the room changed to feel so warm, coupled with the sound of birdsong, the morning seemed so bright.


“Tidaaaaaaaakkk.” Shouted Alan, as he opened his blanket.


“I'm just pretending I don't know him, why should I be punished all night like this,”.


Alan got up from his bed, went to the bathroom in his room. He immediately prepared to go to college.


Still with a sour face, he went downstairs, there was already Nia preparing breakfast.


“Why are you, lan?” Nia told Alan.


“No sleep, mah.” Alan replied with a lazy face.


“Because chat with doll?” Tukas Nia with a small smile. Alan just glanced at his mother.


"Can you talk to a doll?" it's from Via.


"What's the conversation, bang?" he added. Alan just pinched his little sister's cheek. Nia who was listening to Via's question just smiled.


“But, lan. What you said last night was real. Have you ever imagined Mira wearing a wedding dress with another man?” Obviously Nia, flirting.


“Apaan sih mamah.” That's all Alan said.


She didn't want her mom to know she had nightmares about Mira last night. Although she was curious about the dream, Alan was unwilling to make her mother worry.
