“Destroyed feelings of women instead of seeing their partners have no possessions. Instead of seeing his partner have another woman in his heart. Actually they will say the word ‘gak papa’ but his heart will whimper, scream and cry to see the lover has something else than him.”

Andea:
A smile that never faded continued to adorn my face. Maybe people will think I'm a lunatic because I keep smiling nonstop. I don't care, the most important thing is that I enjoy this happiness without anyone else knowing. My S3 degree is in my grasp now. Haru happily mixed into one.
My struggle is not in vain, I have earned my title and now I make my mother happy.
I opened the graduation robe and put it on the bed. I walked over to the mother who was sitting on the edge of the mattress and squatting under her. My mother smiled very beautifully in front of me. I hold both hands and I hold them very tight.
“Bu,” call me.
Mother muttered while stroking my cheek slowly. A feeling of warmth lingered in my heart, feeling soothing and wanting to cry right now. But the feeling of wanting to cry I could bear. I'm a man and I don't deserve to cry in front of others. Being strong is what all men should have.
I removed the toga that was still attached to my head and peeled it on my mother's head. When I saw mom using toga. Feels very happy. My dream since I was a child was to put a toga on my head. And now that dream has finally been achieved as well. During my higher education I never put a toga on my mother's head until at this time I can put the toga on S3.
Then the next plan I want to make mom happy with my hard work. Buy a housewife and mumble a mother. Actually, there's a lot I want to do for mom, just that I can't name her one by one. My goal right now is to make my mom smile at what I do. I don't want to make mom's smile fade on her face.
If you are sad or what, I will always try to make that smile always there. My smile is the energy for every activity.
Mother held the toga that was above her head. “What's De? Why did you put a toga on mom's head?” ask her curious.
“Just a minute ma'am. Ade wants to see mom use this toga. The dream that Ade wanted long ago. Let Ade see it for a moment, hem?” answer me.
Mom just smiled while holding both of my cheeks, “This mother's son is already big huh. Are you happy to see mom wearing this toga you gave me?” ask her.
I nodded, “Of course Ade was happy ma'am, however this is what mom wanted. Seeing Ade using toga and want to take photos with Ade even though we can not take photos with dad.”
“Im sorry mommy yes, De. Dad can't be with us now. Dad's gone ahead of us. He could not see his son who was graduating,” he said in a sorry tone.
“Ah, mother. mother is not wrong, why do you apologize hem? Fathers are not there because God loves you more. No papa, as long as you're here. Ade is also happy,”
Mom smiled as she stroked my cheek. “Thank you son yes,” I returned mother's smile and nodded slowly.
“Oh yes ma'am, Ade have booked a ticket for our departure tomorrow.”
“What time?"
“Hem, maybe afternoon. Do you not want to go for a walk before we go back to Indonesia?” ask me.
“Emang want to go for a walk where?”
“As for mom, let Ade guide mom. How?”
“Hem, can. But I want to go to the high power pole, ” mom while pointing out the window. My forehead scrunched up many times. Electric pole? I followed the direction of showing mom. I laughed out loud at Mom's words.
“Hahahah, mom, mom, no-anything. That's mah Effiel tower bu, not power pole.” Mom just chuckles. While I was getting pushed around because of the cuteness of the mother. it turns out that mother can make jokes too.
Canary:
Breathing out of my mouth. My heartbeat just kept beating. Some make up on the dresser was ready to slide into my face. I saw my face on the glass of the dresser. It's time to get ready to meet Andri at the Effiel Tower. To celebrate our 3 year anniversary.
Time is moving towards 6 o'clock past 20 minutes. Looks like I have to hurry or Andri will wait for me too long. I don't want to make that guy just wait for me. Especially out there is very crowded by tourist lovers.
I started the ritual. Before that I sprayed my face with a spray setting to feel moist and durable, besides that so that I will always look beautiful in front of Andri. Isn't that? Hehe...
After that, I started another ritual. No need to look menor and waw. Enough with simple and beautiful. Even so, Andri will still love me and love me. Haha, duh, trust him I am.
No need to take a long time. I was ready with my dance. Next I used the dress given by Andri. When I use it, it feels very snug on my body. I saw my whole body in the mirror. Both of my cheeks were hot, how could the man know the size of my clothes.
Geez, Andri is indeed a man who has every surprise I never imagined before. I really didn't get it wrong to choose her as my partner. Really, not wrong.
I let my hair fall out rather than roll it up. This dress feels more suitable if the hair is broken like this. It has its own aura especially I use it.
When I thought everything was in order, I immediately took out a sling bag and put my phone in. Walk out of the room and into the elevator. The cold started to feel in both palms of my hands. Ah, why does it feel like I'm just going out with Andri for the first time. The fact is that I married him.
Ting...
The elevator was open, and I who was looking down looked up. At once our gazes met for a moment with the person who was in the elevator. I thought it was Andri in front of me, because his face looked so similar. Apparently not. Ah, maybe this is the effect I always think about and the effect because my happiness is overflowing, until my mind becomes uncontrollable. The person I saw would look like Andri. But it is true, the person in front of me is very similar to my husband.
“Mbak?” call her.
I also realized, “Heuh?”
“Wouldn't go in?” ask her in Indonesian. It was like I had heard this voice. This voice sounded very familiar but I don't know where I heard this voice.
“Eh? Yes,” I quickly got into the elevator. The elevator was closed very tightly. I glanced at the man next to me who was standing firmly while putting both of his hands into his pants pocket.
“Looks like we've met ya,” his word. I was surprised and turned my eyes to the front.
He looked at me with a smile, though,
“Kania?” I looked quickly at him, how he knew my name even I didn't know him.
“I'm right, you're Kania.”
I get confused and try to remember this guy. But I really feel like I never met him. From his voice, it was as if I had heard it, but I did not know where.
“Hem, excuse me. How do you know me? If you know, we have met where?”
He immediately laughed a little, “It turns out you easily forget yes. I'm a guy who's only a candidate for a face mask. Remember not?”
“Yap, you are absolutely right. Do we need another contact? It seems you don't remember me,” he said as if insinuating to me.
“Hahaha, not like that. You see, I didn't know about your face because we were wearing masks. But why do you know I'm Kania? That sharp is your memory?”
Not playing with the name destiny. I really can't believe it, it's just as if I've heard this voice. Turns out this guy was the guy I spoke to at the salon a few days ago. He even remembers me now and I don't remember him at all. Oh my God, how embarrassing I am.
“You want to know why I know that you are Kania?” I nodded quickly.
“From this,” she pointed at my hair. I see it does not understand, can anyone remember just because it is seen from the hair alone? Doesn't that sound very strange.
“That time I met you with such hair. It was the same look at the salon. Now, that gaze is still the same when you enter this elevator.”
I just shut my mouth.
Jesus, why can Andika be this great. He could analyze the situation with just a blink of an eye. Even I didn't realize it, it was really great. I grinned while rubbing my nape.I feel ashamed of him now. Aah, I feel like I want to be lost in this world right now.
“Where are you?” ask Andika.
I also turned, “Hem?” he saw me from the bottom up.
“Ohhh, would like to see your husband.”
He nodded. “Where is her husband?”
“There, just make an appointment to come out with.” He nodded again.
“Hem, enjoy the atmosphere of Paris with a couple. Especially like you, newly married couple.” Her speech. I just nodded too.
“Where are you going?” ask me back.
I also feel curious when I see the style of his clothes that look very neat and cool.
“Hem, want to go for a walk.”
“Whose name?”
“Mother,”
“Where's your mom?” ask me again. Andika will walk with her mother but I don't see her mother.
“Mother is still in the room, she told me to wait in the hotel lobby.” My lips were rounded just like a sign of understanding his words. No one, apparently still in the room. A little curious as to what kind of mother Andika, has a child as great and handsome as this.
Ting...
The elevator is open.
Rushed me and Andika out of the elevator walking towards the exit of the hotel. “When did you meet me with your husband?” tanyakanya.
“Quickly,” answered me with a smile towards her.
“Alright, I'll wait.”
I nodded, “Ah yes, I first yes.maybe my husband has been waiting.”
“Good, see you again.” I nodded and smiled at him and left him standing in the hotel lobby. Time to meet my beloved husband. Maybe he's been waiting for me under the Effeil Tower. I can't wait to meet him.
Andea:
“Where, mom? Mom likes?” I looked up while smiling at my mother.
Grasping tightly the hands of this mother in Paris with a very beautiful atmosphere. As beautiful as mother's smile as it is today. I love everything today makes me not want this day to go by.
“Like, really like. Thank you, De, have taken mom to enjoy the view of the Effiel Tower below. Making mom come back young again, heheh.”
“Sama-sama mom,”
Mom sighed softly making me stop the steps, mother also stopped her steps. I observed the look on my mother's face that looked sad, ahh I really do not like this expression to make my heart slightly slashed when I saw her.
I clasped mom's hand tighter, “What's bu?” mom smiled. No, it's like it's not a smile that looks sincere.
But the smile is like forcing the heart to express itself even though the heart does not want it. I know that, I feel it now.
“Mothers sad, De,”
“What makes mom sad hem? Will Ade help so that mom is not sad anymore,”
“Abang mu.” I immediately fell silent, ahhh, this must be because of mother's frustration that still has not subsided against brother.
“Either why, mother like to feel something else on Andri, De. I don't know what it is, I feel it. Really feel. You already know for sure if the feeling of a mother never misses?” I nodded “And at this moment mom felt it, De. Andri like there are others,”
“Mother don't suudzon against brother yes, pity sister-in-law. Later he also suudzon same brother, yes if true. What if it's wrong? We are also sinful ma'am,” mother fell silent.
I gently rubbed mother's hand, “Udah, now don't think of it huh. We continue on again, how?” my mother nodded slowly and I smiled.
We both walked back, but our footsteps came to a standstill when I saw Kania from afar walking in some direction. “Oh, that,” I want to call her but stopped because I saw something that made me unable to say anything more.
As the direction of Kania's opponent walked towards her, hugged Kania, and kissed Kania's lips at a glance. It made my heart stop beating right then and there. My breath was gone somewhere. It's not a dream, it's real. And I don't think I could have seen it wrong again.
That the person I'm seeing right now is...
“ANDRI!!” shouting Mother.
