Childhood Match
Dabbed in Two Hearts

Time shows at 16:00 WIB. At the end of the day at the flower garden, Gabby's car was in the parking lot. The latitude of a cadet was accustomed to on time. But it turns out Gabby had arrived first in the park. Soon Lintang parked his car next to Gabby's and walked through the park door.

Gabby was sitting in a park chair, where she first met Lintang a few months ago, while occasionally looking at her phone hoping Lintang gave her news.

Suddenly from behind, someone patted his shoulder and said,

"Hayyy... Have you been waiting a long time?" A man's voice surprised him.

Immediately Gabby turned her face back, and it turned out to be true, Lintang was already standing upright behind the garden chair.

Gabby got up from her seat, stretched out her hand to shake her hand, and Lintang returned her hand.

"Heyy... Lintang..kok no, just new." Answer Gabby.

Undeniably, Lintang was completely blown away by Gabby's beauty that afternoon. Hair is shaved, wrapped in white short-sleeved dres along the knee, and shoes are also small bags that are in color in line with the dress he wears.

Gabby was quite stunned by the man in front of her. The hair of the cadet model is neatly charming, wearing a white shirt and a maroon sweater, also chino pants mocca color.

Both of them sat in the garden chair.

"Thank you Lin." Gabby.

"Yes... You're welcome." Answer Latitude.

Although they had only met twice, they felt like they had met often. It is no longer awkward to joke with each other, making them forget that they already have a fiancee.

"Crosses..." Gabby called.

"Yes, why?" Tanya Latitude.

Gabby started a serious conversation.

"Eeemm. I want to say something." Gabby.

That speech made the heart of Latitude start beating fast. It was the same when he was with Gendhis.

"What about?" Tanya Latitude.

"I know it's hard, I've tried to prevent this from happening, but I can't. I was too weak to prevent you from entering and filling the void in the recesses of my heart." Gabby.

Lintang continued to listen to Gabby's words, without cutting her off in the slightest.

"I know I'm engaged, but since our meeting a few months ago, I've kind of found what I've been looking for. All this is on you...! Lintang.. I like you, I love you. And I can't if just for a day, you stop paying attention to me." Gabby expressed her feelings.

The latitude is getting more erratic. Even he had never heard such a sweet speech from the mouth of Gendhis. Lintang never doubted Gendhis love for him, but Gendhis was too naive to express his heart.

"Lintang... Why are you? Don't you have the same feeling? Don't you like me?" Gabby asked as she continued to stare at Lintang's increasingly erratic face.

Confused latitude to answer what. On the one hand, she can't lie to her feelings that she has been tempted by Gabby's beauty. He wants to be able to repay Gabby's love. But on the other hand, he also loves Gendhis and the bond they have formed will be shaken by Gabby's presence?

"Lintang... please answer my question... Do you already have another woman in your life? Say Latitude..." Gabby kept pressing.

Latitude is like a hungry cat who gives fresh fish in front of him, it is impossible to refuse.

"Gabby. but you've met Arnold... How about he find out about us?" Reply Latitude, when obviously that is not the real reason Latitude. Indeed this is what Arnold hopes, can ensnare Gabby with his love so Gabby will decide the match and Arnold can be separated from Gabby.

For some reason, Lintang's mouth seemed locked to tell the truth that she was engaged to Gendhis.

"Lintang. But I can't lie about my feelings. And I hope you feel what I feel, too." Urge Gabby while reaching for Lintang's hand, as she often does to Gendhis, only... Gendhis always tried to run away and escape whenever Lintang tried to hold his fingers.

"Say something Latitude... Do you already have a lover?" Gabby asked, hoping for certainty.

"Yes. uh. I mean. yeah. I like you too." Finally Latitude let his heart docked between two ships floating on the bottom of the ocean that he did not realize, whenever he could sink it.

"Thank you Lin. We're gonna keep this a secret. Until the time comes we'll talk to Arnold." Gabby.

He was so happy to hear Lintang's answer, that the beautiful doctor unwittingly held Lintang's right arm while leaning his head on Lintang's shoulder.

The latitude had never been this close to any girl before. This makes him even more powerless to reject Gabby's love. While he was still thinking, the time came when he would leave Gabby and marry Gendhis, just as Arnold suggested to him.

While being engrossed in eating his mouth, suddenly the sound of latitude ringing. He saw the name Bu Parti in his call.

"Don't mind, my mom called..." Pamit Lintang got up from his seat to lift receiving the call of Bu Parti.

"Key..." Gabby replied as she continued to enjoy her dinner without the slightest bit of suspicion.

After standing some distance away from the table they ordered, Lintang picked up her phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Mommy." Sapa Latitude.

Without spaces, Bu Parti directly crammed it with a myriad of questions,

"Waalaikum... What time is this..lintang? He said he'd only be gone for a minute, before Magrib came home? You forget, we'll have a dinner appointment with Gendhis and your future in-laws at home..." The voice of the Madam Party sounded very anxious.

The latitude of looking at the clock that was coiled around his arm already showed it at seven o'clock in the night.

"MashaAllah... Ma'am..sorry, latitude to forget. Yes, I'm, latitude's home now." Answer Latitude.

"Where to. Yes already, cepet go home yes Nang.. soon they come you know." Pinta Bu Party.

"Yes. yeah... Ma'am, latitude is home now."

After hanging up his phone Lintang returned to his dining table and immediately finished his order.

"Gabby. I'm sorry, my mom just called if I have to go home now because there's an event at home. You know for yourself, I just got home this morning..." Latitude talk to Gabby.

"Small-small chops came home.We just so, actually I still want to go for a walk with you. But yes, next time you have an event." Gabby said a little disappointed.

After she finished eating, Lintang drove Gabby to pick up her car, which was still parked in the park.

Along the way they continued to chat as if they had not wanted to part. Suddenly the black car stopped and they reached the park parking lot.

"Thank you for today, Lin. Call me when you get home." Message Gabby while opening the door of Lintang's car.

"okay... Be careful on the road..." Latitude Message.

"You too yaa... Yea..." Gabby.

"Daddy..." Reply Latitude while waving his hand.

Both of them also finally went home with a heavy heart to go home their respective cars.

The car was moving very fast. He did not want to arrive late at his house. After traveling about 30 minutes because the fog at the top of Sumbing is quite thick, finally Lintang reached the yard of his house. Soon he got out of the car and went into the living room, and it turned out to be true, Mr. Ratno and Mr. Sari as well as Mr. Argo had been waiting in the living room for a long time. Soon Lintang said his greetings and kissed their hands.

"Sorry Sir, Ma'am... So long wait." Latitude Speech.

"Yes, Lintang, no papa, we also just came." Reply Mr. Ratno was stale.

"From wherever you latang...have been awaited from earlier you know..." Mr. Argo asked.

"Yes, sir. had brought a cadet friend home first after the event, and it happened to be quite far away, so..." Lintang has not finished saying the fake reason, Miss Party has come from the kitchen to bring their dinner menu to the dining table, assisted by Gendhis.

"Have been... the conversation continued later, because Lintang has come home, we have dinner now." Said Bu Parti.

"Oh. yeah. let's... Mr. Ratno, Ms. Sari, let's head straight to the dining table. I haven't eaten since noon either." Take Mr. Argo in joking.

"Hussis... This father, you know, this afternoon who ate corn rice out of two servings who to?" Ms. Party pretended to ask her husband.

"That's corn rice, ma'am..." Mr. Argo smiled.

Ms. Party just shook her head hearing her husband's joke.

Lintang stared at the innocent face of her fiance who was busy helping Ms. Party prepare dinner. There was a speck of guilt in his heart. For years he tried to maintain their relationship, not willing if Gendhis was near any man. But look now... Latitude actually gives another woman a gap to enter her life.
