Between Love and Love
Hate and love, different thin.

Yeah, who knows, the khilaf boss told me that salary was more."

"Who wants to pay more?" ask someone who just entered the room.

Tara was silent, and did not dare to continue her words. He immediately returned to his work chair.

"Who is Tara's caliph?" asked Mr. Malvin who was walking closer to Tara.

"Father, who else. Time yes boss next door khilaf." Answer Tara.

"There is a salary you cut because of a lot of protests. Already, tomorrow go with the Clouds to the live project!" Mr. Malvin's orders.

"This is because of the rice sitting a pack I have not changed it to gini. I see you every morning now working together. I'm bored of ntar." Complain Tara.

"If you like how? Is love not because it is accustomed?" Chirps Salma.

"That's it, if he doesn't exist I hate Salma. You know how I am."

"Hate and love are different. I really want to be with Abang Awan is handsome polite again." Salma said as she imagined the handsome face of Clouds.

"Neither, nor." Tara remained tight-lipped with her principles. If he doesn't like the clouds.

"We'll see ntar. Hate is as thin as love." Temptation of Salma again.

Malvin and Anton just silently watched the debate of the two friends. It is common for this to happen in a meeting room or when they are having a casual lunch together. Therefore their co-workers are not surprised.

The next day...

The clouds are ready with white shirts and navy blue jeans. Today he made an agreement with Tara to go to the project. Not forgetting to wear shoes and then he took out his motorbike.

"Cock hasn't come out yet either. This was already half-eight in fact," The cloud repeatedly looked at the watch on his left hand.

It had been almost ten minutes he was waiting for Tara. But the one waiting did not show up. Clouds is a disciplined man and he is never late to the office. He wanted to knock on Tara's room, but because of his shyness, he stopped it.

"Sorry, have you waited a long time? Sorry I was so late to wake up," said Tara who walked while wearing a jacket.

The clouds that saw Tara walking in a hurry while opposing the helmet bag took the initiative to take over the helmet.

"Here is the helem! Benerin used to be his jacket. I'll wait until it's ready."

Instead of immediately rushing in Tara's jacket instead looked at the Clouds unblinkingly.

"Hello, mba Tara. Would you wear that jacket, right?" awan asked as he waved his right hand in front of Tara's face.

"Eh, em. don't." Tara answered a little nervously.

Tara quickly put on a jacket and rushed up to the top of the Awan motorbike.

"Bak get down first!" Cloud Command.

"Eh, why did you come down?" Tara asked who was astonished at the orders of the Clouds.

But without asking any more, Tara got off the Cloud motor.

Bak manikin, instead of saying thank you Tara was silent without saying a word. Nervousness and heart pounding faster makes Tara silent.

"Already, can ride let's go!" Bring Clouds.

"I-I did, um." Answer Tara.

After traveling for about thirty minutes they reached the location.

"Down mbak! We have arrived" said Awan, turning off his engine.

Tara immediately went down, took off the helms and tidied up her slightly messy hair as it was blown by the wind.

"Many houses that have not been inhabited by their owners, yes. I was nyicil in the bank a few months still left abandoned. It's a pity that gini." Tara looked at some empty houses that had not been inhabited. He regrets that.

"Yes, if you're nyicil, if you buy cash hayo. Some of them may buy houses for investment. Or maybe you don't want to move because the area is still quiet."

"Yes too, the rich are free." Chirpe Tara.

"You can buy it too. It doesn't matter if or not. What matters is his will. Some newly married people rather than parents choose to find housing."

"I don't want to buy. One day I want to go back to Surabaya. Want to live with the sisters of the home. Find a job there and be able to care for younger siblings in a home. This is, make a lot of money."

"Are you an orphan?" ask the Cloud . The man was a little surprised by Tara's words. Because all he knows is that Tara is just a regional boy like himself.

"Yes, I was dumped in an orphanage" Tara replied, closing her eyes and looking up.

The wind this morning was pretty strong. Tara still closed her eyes while enjoying the touch of the baby. It feels so cool and soothing.

The clouds just stared at Tara without saying a word. A woman who looks strong but fragile in it. That's what the clouds see. His strength is because of his wounds not because of love. And his trust in someone as thin as a tissue. The fear of starting a relationship is also one thing that bothers Tara. Fear of being left afraid of being humiliated and feeling unworthy of anyone.

***

At Tara's office.

"Gue from earlier sent a message to Tara has not been replied to either." Complain Salma. He saw his phone many times because he waited for a reply to a message from his best friend.

"Maybe it's on the way." Anton.

"What time is this yes time from earlier on the road continues. I'm worried, where he's going is just as much as Abang nasi uuk."

"Abang nasi uuk? You mean, Cloud? How can you be rice brother?" ask Anton curiously. He immediately closed the laptop in front of him and wanted to hear more information about the Cloud.

"Yes, he once bought me the same Tara nasi uuk. Yes, I call Abang nasi. I forgot whose name it was. I'll call my seinget." Original Salma speech.

After a few days of sadness about the news of her ex-lover's engagement. Now Salma was sincere and he returned cheerful as before. His weekends are no longer spent in nightclubs. He knew nothing was missing from him. Even if there is regret does not mean Salma must drag on in the sadness. Start opening a new page by being a good and useful person for people around you. That's Salma's determination now. Thanks to the support of Tara he rose into a cheerful person like before.

"Where do the Clouds meet?" Ask Anton. He began to wonder about the figure of the clouds.

"Em, tell me no? I think maybe it is the cost of facing it. Oh, yes I just remembered a few days ago there was a funny incident at the Tara boarding house. You want to know, what's not happening?"

"What happened anyway?" Anton is increasingly intrigued by Salma.
