The taxi, which was driven by Tasya and Banyu, stopped in front of the company's office where Tasya worked. The sound of the ceramic cutting machine greeted them that morning. The construction workers had started working early in the morning on the orders of their foremen who wanted the building to be completed on time, in accordance with the contractor agreement with the company.
Tasya paid for the taxi with official money given by Riyanti before he left for Semarang. After paying, they both got off the taxi and stepped inside the building which was about to be completed. Banyu continued to pay attention to room after room that he had to arrange with mabel products from his company. While Tasya continued to pay attention to the man who was much taller than himself.
The atmosphere in the office was starting to feel hot, because slowly but surely, the sun was getting higher which made the temperature in the area feel very hot. Banyu took off one button of his shirt and shook his hand. The sweat began to adorn his forehead that looks perfect. Tasya approached Banyu and looked at the handsome man while thrusting a few sheets of tissue at Banyu. Banyu was stunned for a moment before hesitatingly reaching the tissue from Tasya's hand that looked tiny compared to the hand of the man who had the name Ahmad Banyu Pratama.
"Thank you," Banyu said, staring at Tasya with a look in his very shady eyes.
Tasya just smiled and nodded his head. Then the beautiful woman also stepped away as if looking for busyness to expel her groggy feelings when faced with Banyu. While Banyu continued to look at Tasya who turned his back on him. Angan Banyu returned to a dozen years ago, when he was with Tika in Semarang. At that time the same thing happened, Tika handed over some tissue sheets to Banyu who was also feeling hot.
"Mas, wipe the dry. It melted to the eye" said Tika at that time while thrusting a few sheets of tissue in his hand.
"Thank you for being beautiful" Banyu said, grabbing the tissue and wiping the sweat that flooded his forehead.
"Why does he look so much like Tika. It's just, the difference is this woman is more shy than Tika." Inner Banyu. A faint smile began to appear on her thin lips.
"Ohhhh...!" Pekik Tasya who was in the corner of the room.
"Anything! What's up?"
At that moment Tasya turned his head and looked at Banyu with a wrinkle on his forehead.
"Now?" Inner Tasya.
"Well, you're okay, right?" Banyu embraces Tasya who is bending over while holding his calf that looks bloody because it scratched the remaining pile of ceramics in the corner of the room.
"Ti-cope?"
Banyu was speechless, slowly he let go of his coiled hands on Tasya's back.
"Sorry.."
"I'm not Tika mas,"
"I know, I'm sorry. But you why? You're okay, right?" Banyu crouched down and noticed an elongated scratch on Tasya's calf.
"I'm fine. I don't see any piles of old ceramics cut in the corner." Tasya stepped away from Banyu. Banyu was silent, he felt guilty to Tasya, because he had misnamed Tasya, becoming Tika.
Tasya grabbed the plastic chair in the room. Then he sat down while wiping the blood that emerged from the scraping wound caused by the pile of ceramic pieces, with a piece of tissue. Banyu got up from his squat and walked over to Tasya who looked grimacing withstanding the pain from his wounds. Banyu again crouched down in front of Tasya who was sitting on a chair. He looked up and looked at Tasya closely.
"Want to the Doctor?"
"Do you want me to buy you bandages and medicine to dry your wounds?"
Tasya shook his head again.
"If left unchecked, it'll be an infection."
This time Tasya looked closely at Banyu.
"Do I look like Tika?" Tasya asked with a look that looked different than usual. Just then Banyu let out a long sigh and started to lower his face.
"Sorry, I didn't intentionally. I'm just being...
"remember Tika?" Ask Tasya again. This time Banyu looked at Tasya closely. Then he tried to smile even though it looked awkward.
"I bought you some medicine first." Banyu moved from the front of Tasya and stepped towards the exit of the room.
"Mas, is your awkward attitude towards me because I look like Tika? So that I always thought of him.."
Banyu held back his steps and turned to look at Tasya. His handsome face seemed to harbor feelings of guilt.
"No." Banyu Sahut.
"Want to?"
Banyu was silent for a moment. Sweat started flowing down his forehead. Tasya's question made him think hard to answer her.
"Want to?" Desperate Tasya, after he never received an answer from Banyu.
"Because you're my sister-in-law's candidate, if you're serious about the Son. There's a limit between us, because I have to take care of the woman that my sister really likes." Banyu replied as he stepped out of the room.
Tasya fell silent, there was a sense of disappointment in his heart. That was not the answer he wanted to hear from Banyu's lips. But, why was that answer that Banyu said to himself. Tasya took a long breath. For some reason, when he was with Banyu, he felt that he did not remember the slightest thing about the Son. In fact, he never considered Banyu to be the older brother of the Son. In Tasya's mind was, Banyu was a foreign man who was acquainted with her, then it just so happened that he and this foreign man were handling the same task, which his boss gave to the two of them.
"So.. isn't it because I look like Tika or does she have feelings for me? Turns out he only thinks of me as a woman who is close to his sister. Ah. geer once I was." Tasya patted her forehead while closing her eyes. His face flushed red and seemed to withstand an overwhelming embarrassment.
"Eh. but, if aju doesn't look like Tika, why would she call me Tika? Is he lying? What a coincidence is he remembering Tika? Oh, my God, why do I keep getting curious!" Tasya Mumbles.
Tasya got up from her seat and walked towards the window of the room. He looked out the window and looked down. It looks like Banyu who just arrived in front of the office and walked to the minimarket located opposite the office. Tasya continued to stare at the man from the third floor of the office.
"Is your reason just that Banyu mas? Are you trying to shift your feelings?" Inner Tasya who continues to look at Banyu who has now arrived across the street and disappeared behind the minimarket door.
