“Main what else?” ask Sarah.

“Eat first, I laper,” said Martin while rising.

“Well,” Kevin followed Martin up from his chair.

“Ya already while eating,” said Adisty.

Slowly the reunion guests left the table and took food at another stand. While Ashilla and Angkasa are still sitting in their respective places. Ashilla hugged Angkasa's arm and leaned her head on the man's shoulder.

“Darling, what do you want to eat, let me get it?” ask Angkasa gently while patting the back of Ashilla's hand.

Ashilla kept her head away from Angkasa's shoulders, she then turned her head back and rolled her eyes at some tables where she was exposed to food. “I want zupa-zupa soup.”

Space smile. “OK, briefly yes.” He rubbed the top of the lover's head, then got up, as he was about to step up, he turned back and looked at Ashilla. “There is a miss,” he said, then bent over and kissed the top of his beloved woman's head.

Ashilla smiled.

Meanwhile from a distance Iyash watched them, however, as Ashilla stared at him, he quickly turned around and chatted with Kevin and Martin while holding a plate filled with rice and side dishes.

“How to work, Yash, smoothly?” ask Kevin.

“Currently. How are you?”

“Bored, my routine is that, go to the office back in the afternoon, sometimes evening, like I want to open a business aja deh.”

“Wah nice, but can't mess around,” said Iyash.

“Join I've just yuk, Vin,” take Martin to Kevin.

“What business used to be, if only messing around, dear time.”

“Lu forgot I have a cafe, although still small, but pretty,” replied Martin.

‘Wah yes, I forgot. May you, all with Iyash join.”

“Gue? No, ah.” Iyash pretended to stare in the other direction and ended up in the newly returned Space carrying two bowls of zupa-zupa on Ashilla.

“Sayang.” Space put the luggage on the table. “Nih, still hot. If you want others to say aja.”

“Iya later if this one is up. Thanks yes.”

Ashilla quickly ate the warm food.

“Tadi, Ocha phone, he asked me back Monday,” Space said

“Serious?” ask Ashilla with a spoon stuck on her lips.

Space nodded.

“Yah.” Ashilla raised her shoulders, then sighed. He then went back to eating creamy textured food inside and crunchy outside it.

Space smiled as he saw Ashilla's expression change. “Let me contact you often.”

Ashilla nodded without turning her head towards the man.

“Tomple road yuk,” Take Space.

“Where tomorrow, I, ‘work,” Ashilla replied.

“You angry?”

“Ya anyways you tuh–”

Space put an index finger on Ashilla's lips. He then shook his head. “After this contract, I promise I will stop and settle in Jakarta.”

“I want him to believe.”

“You accuse me of lying? You can ask Mommy.”

Ashilla pouted.

“Sayang, please. Tomorrow is Friday, Saturday, Sunday.” Space stared at his fingers which he used to count the days. “Tuh, Monday I'm back. Wasted a week I was here.”

“Yes, that is, part of the time you spend in the hospital.”

Space takes a breath. “No one knows, his name is also calamity.”

“Ck.”

“Iya, ‘kan? Unexpected ugliness is called calamity.”

“Betul,” said Iyash while sitting next to the Space and staring straight ahead.

The sky turned a glance, then looked back at Ashilla. Of course Ashilla seemed uncomfortable, even she lost her appetite.

“Yash, Papa nanyain you,” said Adisty who just stood near Iyash.

Iyash. “Om Roy already home from Germany?”

“Udah, new aja.” Adisty looked at the door. “Tuh to here.”

“Wah there is a party,” says the man in white shirt with a subordinate of light brown. “Since when?”

“Alhamdulillah.” Roy patted his shoulder. “Where, Yash, the project? Smoothly?”

“Alhamdulillah smoothly, Om.”

From afar Ashilla looked at Iyash who looked very familiar with his father Adisty. Space quickly got up and invited him to stand up. “Where?” ask Ashilla.

“Inya Om Roy,” says Angkasa. Inevitably Ashilla gets up and grabs Angkasa's hand, then walks after the man.

“Night, Om.”

“Hei, Space. How are you?”

“Good, Om.” Space kissed Roy's back.

“Who's this?”

Space soon embraces Ashilla's waist. “Ashilla, my future wife, Om.”

Ashilla nodded kindly and greeted the middle-aged man. “Ashilla, Om.”

“Wah, Angkasa, you want to get ahead of Adisty?” ask Roy. The man then looked at his son. “Tuh, Dis, Angkasa already have a candidate, you when?”

“Ask Iyash dong, Pa, when to halalin me,” exclaimed Adisty.

Iyash immediately misbehaved and for a moment they fell silent. A few seconds later, Roy laughed. “Papa can not exchange Papa's child with treasure.”

“Ngot exchanged, Pa. Emang Iyash does not want if you do not get Papa's treasure?” ask Adisty.

Iyash smiled.

“Already, you guys continue the party, have fun ya.” Roy waved at the others who were enjoying the food. He then returned to the house and did not see Adisty's irritated face again.

“I want to marry you, but seventy percent of Papa's treasure you made me, Dis,” said Iyash.

“Win a lot dong lu,” pout of Space as it passes and return to his seat with Ashilla. However, Ashilla occasionally turned her back on Iyash.

“Sayang.”

Ashilla seemed unfocused, even when Ashilla called out to her twice.

“You–”

“Iya, why?” Ashilla stared at Space.

“What's the reason?”

“I?” Ashilla shook her head. “No why-why.”

Space takes a breath.

“You're so close to Adisty?”

“Lumayan.”

“Until you know her Papa?”

The space was silent for a few seconds.

“Never had a special relationship?”

“He's my friend, naturally I know his Papa.”

“Most?”

“Not too much anyway. Adisty's mother died a long time ago. Who lives now is his stepmom.”

“Oh.”

“I take you a drink,” said Angkasa as he rose.

Ashilla nodded and let Space go. Not long after Iyash sat down and looked at him.

“Hai, what a surprise you have here,” said Iyash.

Ashilla just smiled. He then turned to Angkasa who was about to walk towards them. However, the man's footsteps came to a halt as Lisa and Sarah approached.

“Angkasa sweet really geez, I envy,” said Lisa and Ashilla heard it clearly.

“Unable sign,” says Sarah.“Sa, if you again find an affair, I'm ready 24 hours is ready time for lo,” added Sarah with a voice that was deliberately hardened.

Ashilla's heart is beating. He then turned away from the two women who swarmed Space.

“Precious benget sih lo,” cibir Lisa.

Space even smiled in response to the jokes of his friends. He then went and sat down next to Ashilla. “Honey,” he said as he placed the glass on the table.

“Oh, so she's Sarah? The woman who made that video call. He's also the one you mentioned wrongly when with me, huh?” ashilla asked softly as she picked up the mineral water and stabbed her with a straw.

“Yes, so?” Angkasa pretended not to remember.

Ashilla sighed. Then he finished the mineral water to dampen the anger in his chest.
