Between Love and Love
Still care.

He should have accepted Anton's offer to drive him earlier than he had to wait for himself like this.

"Why so long? Did he forget?" ask Tara to herself.

"Tara, are you still here?"

Tara looked towards the source of the sound. He smiled and replied shortly. "Yes, I'm still here."

"It's almost five in the afternoon. Come on, I'll just take you home." Anton offers Tara a favor.

Tara shook her head. "I promised to wait for the clouds. Maybe it's jammed in the street so he's late to pick up."

"Alright if that's what you want. But, I'll keep waiting for you here. Until he comes. Anton declined to name the clouds.

Tara smiled at Anton. He is grateful to have a good friend. When he needs help, the man always gives it.

Anton is not as usual, if he usually tells this story, this time he just silence while surfing his social media. I don't know what the man thinks.

"Why did you ever see a cell phone. Talk like it usually." Said Tara who realized Anton's silence.

"No one wants to see the news on social media."

"Oh, yasudah."

Finally Tara did not ask about Anton's silence anymore. Although he actually knows for sure what is on the man's mind.

After nearly twenty minutes the Clouds arrived in front of Tara's office. He quickly got out and ran to find Tara. Not yet at the entrance he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the woman he was looking for was sitting while sipping a drink he was holding. With quick steps he immediately approached Tara.

"I'm sorry I'm late." He said regretfully after arriving in front of Tara.

"Ngga is forgiven. I waited an hour more why have I come? It should be two or three hours." Sindir Tara's.

"So I've called many times but your phone is not active. I called Salma and asked her about you she didn't know you were home yet because she was already walking first." Clear Cloud. He tried to convince Tara that he was late because it was stuck.

When the Clouds contacted Salma to ask where Tara was. Anton was next to Salma. Because he knew the Clouds would be late, Anton deliberately canceled his promise with Salma and preferred to accompany Tara. Of course Salma doesn't mind that.

"The cloud's coming, I'm staying first," Anton immediately leaves Awan and Tara both.

"Anton, thank you." Shouted Tara, as Anton had already walked quite a distance.

Anton just waved his hand without looking back. Of course he was currently burning jealous flames. With great difficulty, he covered his feelings. Even though he already knew there was no hope for him and Tara Anton still remained kind and treated the woman as before.

As a man of course Awan also realized that Anton also likes Tara. He can also be calm and mature without showing his jealousy.

"Yeah, we're home!" Bring Clouds.

"Come on." Tara immediately followed the steps of the walking Cloud first.

"Please!" Clouds said with his arms outstretched after opening the car door.

"Thank you," Tara immediately got into the car and put on a safety belt.

"Get the motor." The Clouds broke the silence in the car.

"Why not just take the bike?" Ask Tara.

"From morning already bring a car and motorcycle also at the boarding house so yes would not want to go home take a car. This part of the office facilities must be used." Answer Cloud.

"Already, get used to the atmosphere of traffic jams on the streets. I will get used to it too.

" Yes would be very used to having you by my side every day."

" Well my name is nebeng dong? It can also reduce the cost of gasoline and save energy as well. Em. It's like having a private driver." Tara Toda.

"Okay is the deal?" ask Cloud.

"What's the deal?" Tara turned around to ask.

"Not answering, but turning around. Deal every day we go to the office together."

***

Anton who had arrived at home immediately laid his body in the room. I think he's very tired today. Not because of too much work. But it hurts too much to see the relationship between Cloud and Tara. Still asking what her lack is so as not to be able to knock Tara's heart. While the clouds that have just been known can already enter a little in the heart of the woman.

Many times he saves a long breath to just ease the tightness in his chest due to jealousy. Isn't it natural that it's like this? Even Tara also knows well with her family is not enough their closeness?

"What do you see in the clouds, Tara? Hasn't we spent enough time together?" ask Anton to himself.

Somewhere else.

A woman was making a video call with her parents in the village. A sweet smile does not recede from her beautiful lips.

" Yes, Umi will Aini come home. Don't worry!" Her speech.

The woman is Aini an old friend of Tara who met at a food festival a few days ago. Her parents asked her to return home because her sister was getting married . Because Aini works in Jakarta he rarely goes home, at most six months. And next month is the wedding of the brother he had to go home to attend the party.

"Be careful if you don't go home. Abah who will pick you up there and see, you will not be allowed to work again." Threaten the Umi from a video call.

Aini stuck out her tongue mocking the Umi. He instead of saying yes, it actually even more makes Umi more nagging his youngest child.

After being satisfied with a video call that lasted nearly sixty minutes Aini ended her call. Because the Adhan isya has reverberated and the time he carries out his duties as a Muslim.

"Wait in the car, I pray for a minute." Pamit Awan then left Tara who was still in the car.

Instead of following in the car, Tara came out following the Clouds without the man's knowledge. Then he sat himself in front of the mosque.

" I'll just wait here." Tara said to herself.

Tara waited for the Clouds in front of a mosque in the Kalideres area. He just finished dinner with the Clouds. As the man carried out his duties as a Muslim, Tara waited with each waiting in front of the mosque.
