At the weekend, Gaza invited Gea and Alwin to go to the children's playground at the top mall. The two looked like a harmonious married couple who had one child.
There, Gea lets Alwin play with a kid his age. Gea and Gaza sat while watching Alwin.
The young mothers, who accompanied their children, continued to gaze towards Gaza. Yes, naturally, the face of Gaza is handsome. Who tries who won't look at him?
"You've always been the center of people's attention? Even in the children's play area today."
Gaza chuckles softly. Actually he was aware of the glances of young mothers. But, it seems as if he does not know.
"Yes, how else. His name is also a handsome man. It will be the center of attention. Only the blind can't admit my good looks."
"Curtain! The pedal is you."
"No papa. What matters is the fact."
"Yes, yeah, yeah."
Gea's eyes focused on Alwin playing the ball bath. He smiled happily for it. Although his parents separated, Alwin was not like a child who lost his affection.
"Do you want to marry again?" ask Gaza a little fishing.
"It never crossed my head to get married again. My goal now and in the future is just to make Alwin happy and educate him to be a good man."
"If one day a good man comes to you and invites you to marry. How's it?"
"I don't know. Maybe I could just reject it right away" Gea replied.
"Ge, you might be able to and could raise Alwin alone. But, Alwin still needed the figure of a father. You can't be selfish. Alwin may not understand it yet. But, two to three years later after he had been good at talking, he would have wondered about his father. If you are at peace with all your wounds. Yeah, maybe you can get him to David. But if not? Even you who continue to be sick. At that time, you need a companion, Ge."
Gea seemed to think about what Gaza was saying. He understands and understands. But, he's not ready yet. It is very difficult to start a relationship again. Relationships that he once thought would be happy can always run aground and not run smoothly. How does he now have children? Gea is just scared, her partner just loves her not with her child. He is also afraid of a new relationship.
"Entah Ga. I still haven't thought about it. Right now, I'm just living a life flowing like water."
Gaza can only sigh. He felt very vain. Though he deliberately talked about the topic so that Gea could open his heart to start a new relationship. Because if he directly stated it, Gea could be surprised.
After two hours of playing, Gea, Alwin and Gaza stopped by the restaurant. Gaza holds Alwin while Gea walks beside Gaza.
People seem to see them. Some say they are a happy and harmonious family.
They sat in their chairs and ordered food. When Alwin was asked to get down from the sling of Gaza, the little boy shook his head and instead tightened his arms to Gaza.
"Oh, it's okay. I don't mind Ge either."
"But, you're gonna be hard to eat Ga."
"There are you. You can bribe me, right?"
"His! Rich little boy."
Gaza smiled happily. He was very lucky, apparently Alwin even stuck to him. He had reason to be fed by Gaza.
The ordered food arrived. Gea is really feeding Gaza. He also cheated on Alwin. It felt like Gea had two babies. One small baby and one big baby.
Whispers of visitors began to be heard in Gea's ears.
"Look, they're so romantic. I want to be treated that way too."
Gea can only shake his head.
"Why Ge?"
"Didn't you hear the whispers of visitors here talking about us?"
Gaza shakes. He actually heard it, pretending not to hear it. Because Gea wanted to tell him himself.
"We are called a matching couple. But we are friends. Alwin is not your son either."
"Let's teach people to say that. They don't know. They only see what they see. After all, it's good, rather than them talking bad things about us. Maybe we're a good couple."
"Oh, don't talk about it again. It doesn't taste good to you. Where do you want to be installed with me who is nothing."
Gea feeds Gaza again until the plate is empty. Gaza stared at Gea with a bit of disappointment.
When did you realize Ge? When sensitive? If I love you more than just a friend. How long do I have to hide all this? I really can't afford Ge anymore.

"We go home" Gaza said when we got home.
Mama Hani welcomed the return of the three of them. Alwin is still in the sling of Gaza. The boy fell asleep with his.
"Alwin is tired. To sleep well."
"Yes Aunt. He was very active playing. Even if I don't force it, it'll probably be there by afternoon. I want to take Alwin to Aunt's room first," said Gea then want to ask Alwin to move to his carrier. However, Mama Hani instead offered herself.
"No, let's just aunt. You rest, you must also cape. Oh, yes, there was a package from your parents Ge. Auntie put it in the kitchen."
"Okay, thanks aunty."
Mama Hani nodded then took Alwin to enter Gea's room.
While Gea immediately walked into the kitchen and saw the package sent by his parents from the village.
"Wah, rambutan, mangosteen, pete, jengkol, mango. Hm, it smells good."
Gea seemed enthusiastic when she saw the package her parents sent. Apparently in the village is the season of fruit harvest. For a long time Gea had not eaten the fruit of his father's plantation. Gea soon missed, but he could not go home, because he still had a work contract.
The nearby Gaza could also feel the sadness that Gea felt. Gea must have missed both her parents. Especially when I last met for months. That wasn't long either.
"You want to go home? If so, I can drive him, "gaza bargain.
Gea shakes.
"If I go home, I don't want to come back here. I just want to live with Alwin there. Spend time with my parents and children. While I'm here I still have responsibilities. I can't rule that out."
