Em, tell me, don't you? 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.
"People know, do they want to know?" Instead of answering Anton's question, Salma turned to ask.
"Start again yes, nosy miss. Are you back? Thanks duh. Not so, I don't want to know anything about Abang nasi uduk." Anton walked out of Salma just like that.
"But, Akang siomay. It's stupid, it's none of my business." Salma cuek.
Anton was sitting in the cafeteria smoking a cigarette. White smoke evaporates in the air. He was a little jealous to hear Salma saying that Tara was getting close to the Clouds.
" Hey, bro... are you alone?" ask a man sitting next to Anton's chair.
"Yes, I want to do it myself." Answer Anton.
"Lo's got a problem? Looks really tangled." His co-worker named Doni was guessing what Anton was experiencing.
"Looks, huh?" anton replied, also while asking Doni.
"Surely about women. Tara huh?" Guess Doni.
"So you know so much."
"Looks really like him. Fight until you're on your threshold bro. And stop when the woman you like finds the man she likes."
"The concept is how it looks like anyway, you sometimes ya bro." Complain Anton. Instead of accepting the advice that gave him the spirit of Doni instead made himself confused.
"Pursuit at reasonable limits bro. Let go if you can't hold it. Love does not have to have. What is yours will remain yours." Doni's Advice.
"Yes, I'm on the threshold right now. My efforts are in vain."
"There is nothing in vain maybe Tara is not your soul mate. But, it could also be when you move away Tara is aware of her feelings. Sometimes women are prestige bro. The heart says yes, but the mouth says no. I used to chase my wife also it says not want but long time do not want to be separated from me bro." Doni.
Anton nodded in understanding with all of Doni's advice. It's time he took Tara off. His efforts to win Tara's day did not pay off. He knew that feelings could not be forced. From now on he will be a good friend to Tara not expecting more.
Anton reached into the bag of pants. He took the select thing that was inside. He immediately sought someone's phone contact and sent him a message.
Don't forget lunch, yeah! Take care of the health of the weather is not necessarily lo easy flu do not forget to wear a jacket if traveling, yes!. Write Anton's message to Tara.
A second later he sent the message to the woman he loved. It's over with Anton's phone putting it on the table. His view cannot be separated from the flat object. It's been about five minutes but the message hasn't been answered by Tara.
"Udah, don't wait for the message. Maybe he's busy, bro. Don't bother him too often. Try to rarely send messages. Make him realize that you are always there for him. Don't bother him about it he's worried." Doni.
Anton looked at Doni with a smile and said." Ready bro. This is called temperature."
" What temperature is °C bro? Do not be cold-cold deliciously in the bro angelin, " said Dini accompanied by laughter.
" Tuh, Narti's hot skillet. The fire was burning from earlier, bro."
Then they laughed together. Anton felt more relieved when he heard the advice of Doni. The father of one child was seen giving experience to Anton.
At the project site...
When finished with his work. Now Tara and Awan rushed to return to Tangerang. But because the rain was quite heavy undo Cloud's intention to ride a motorcycle with Tara. Now they are on the terrace of an empty house that has not been occupied by its owner.
"Sorry, we can't go home yet. It rained so hard. Let's wait for the rain to subside a little!" Cloud Speech.
"Yes, mas anyways if on the road heavy rain gini danger as well. The visibility is blurred."
"Well, aren't you hungry? We haven't eaten yet." asked the Clouds. She felt bad for Tara. Because from this afternoon Tara was invited to eat did not want to. It's three in the afternoon now.
"He..he.y, yes, hungry mas." Tara pursed her lips while holding her stomach which was already starting to feel hungry.
"So I was invited to eat until I didn't want to. Now complain of hunger. Hold it until it rains!" Pinta Cloud.
"So, this is if Anton is worried about the maximum level. Same turn mas no sense of pity that." Tara replied to Awan with a sewot tone.
"Not attention. From this day at lunch did not want. Whose fault is it trying? So, now you also can not complain dong. Don't compare me to who it's called mbak." Clouds say firmly.
Tara twists her lazy eyeball. But in his heart he admitted that he was wrong for refusing the invitation of the Clouds for lunch.
Tara regressed, she remembered Anton at a time like this. While with Tara always behave normally and consider Anton no more than a friend. Then he took his device in the bag. Usually Anton would send a message reminding him not to be late for lunch. Tara looked at the notifications on the phone. And sure enough, Anton messaged him about at half-hour one in the afternoon.
"Get changed and not bored. It's always like this" said Tara Lirih with a smile after reading a message from Anton.
The clouds that saw Tara smiling herself just furrowed her brows. A little confused to see Tara's mood that changed drastically. Just now complaining of blaming himself is now a smile of his own.
"Uhuk. who in chat ayank. Her cheeks were blushing." the Cloud's tease
"Just whistle the mas, where there's a girlfriend. This is my good Anton Temen who is also an office. I've met him too." Tara Obviously.
"Oh, mr. Anton. He I remember that time also joined the meeting with us."
"He's young call me. Not married yet have no children also so do not be called Father is not appropriate." Tara protested because the Cloud called Anton as Sir.
"The name honors the mbak. Unless I already know the call mas or even call the name is also nothing. Her name alone I forgot that Tara didn't take it."
"Yes, yeah. You'll be friends tomorrow to be familiar." Tara.
"InshaAllah mbak." Answer Cloud.
