Reyhan sat pensively in his special study room. He sat watching the view of the city of Bandung from behind the window. Office hours are over. However, Reyhan still lingered in his office. He really refused to go home.
Reyhan thought about his future, his life now felt empty like a blank sheet of paper. The goal is to be happy extinct already. Nayla, all this time she struggled to propose the hardworking girl. Reyhan works hard to justify Nayla and build a beautiful household ark with her. But now everything has to disappear instantly. There was no more encouragement in his life.
Reyhan leaned his back, he twirled the chair he was sitting in. Reyhan is really burdened by his marriage with Luna. Reyhan once stated his intention to divorce Luna to her parents. But instead of supporting them, Reyhan's parents were angry. They threatened not to consider Reyhan his son again, if Reyhan dared to divorce Luna. They also promise to make Nayla suffer, which makes Reyhan's guts shrink.
I don't know what life Reyhan is living now, it feels like a life without a soul. Like zombies in the fantasy era. The soul that thinks only of Nayla, but the body cannot have. Maybe fate was playing tricks on him. Letting his poor heart be tormented for holding back longing for the girl he cannot have.
Reyhan opened his phone, a lot of missed calls from Rika, his mother.
He also read WhatsApp that came in from Rika. Rika is waiting for him at home. Reyhan immediately put his phone in again, he immediately grabbed the suit attached to his work chair. And immediately leave the office where he works.
Reyhan is now in his car, the streets of Bandung city are very crowded if it is late afternoon. Maybe hours at the office. Reyhan plays music to drive away the desolate.
He tapped on the steering wheel because the road was a bit jammed, while his stomach felt rumbling. It was not breakfast from morning. Even Reyhan's rest hour passed by himself in his study. Today, Reyhan is not very fond of eating.
But the worms in the stomach seem to be unable to compromise. Reyhan stared at the cafe that had just opened. It wouldn't hurt if Reyhan stopped by for a while at the cafe. How thought. Reyhan immediately pulled over his car and entered the cafe parking area. In his heart he was amazed to see the cafe decorations made as neat as possible following the youth market. He entered the cafe, seen some people who were enjoying the food. It seems like the buyers are not too crowded because the cafe just opened.
"Please! Is there anything we can help you with?" A familiar girl appeared before him with a charming smile. But that smile instantly receded as it looked at Reyhan. And vice versa, Reyhan was glued to where he stood. It was like dreaming of meeting a girl in a place she never expected.
"Nayla's. What's he doing here?"
Before long Aditya appeared behind Nayla, Reyhan's heart immediately slipped. Are they this close? Why did they work together? Nayla soon leaves Reyhan's presence and is replaced by Aditya. Aditya lets Reyhan sit down and gives her a menu book. Reyhan was still fixated, he was still very surprised to see Nayla.
"Please menu!" Say Adit in a flat voice.
"Nayla works here?" Instead of answering, Reyhan asked back.
"Yes, Nayla is our cafe chef," Aditya replied as necessary.
"Then I order a meatball in Mozarella. Drinking a cold capucino," Reyhan closed the menu, he looked at Aditya with a look of dislike.
Aditya nodded, then picked up another menu book. He walked away from Reyhan.
"Wait, how close is your relationship until you work together?" Reyhan's voice rose by several octaves. He can no longer stem the questions that continue to plague his heart and mind.
"Be closer than you thought," Aditya smiled cynically then quickly passed.
"Nay, is it true that you have forgotten me completely?
A few minutes of food was on Reyhan's desk. He ate Nayla's cooking with excitement. The taste is still the same, when Nayla often cooks for him. Reyha misses their moment together. If time could be turned, he would not leave Nayla. It never will.

"Rey where are you going? From the afternoon you wait until this evening," Rika spontaneously nagged when she saw Reyhan's arrival
"Slowly," replied Reyhan accordingly.
"Sit, Rey! It's impolite for your parents to even stand up like that!" Handi's word is firm.
Reyhan immediately sat on the sofa while kneading his temple. He was very upset with the arrival of his parents. Of course they will say things that Reyhan does not like. Yeah, especially if it's not about Luna, the woman Reyhan hates.
"Quickly, what would you say to me?" Reyhan said in essence.
Before long, Luna appeared in very beautiful clothes and makeup. Luna wears a maroon red dress with a low chest cut. He brought a tray of tea and coffee and served it at the table.
"Mama's daughter-in-law is the most beautiful, kind and diligent!!" Praise Rika smiling happily.
"Sit on Reyhan's side, Lun! Someone you want to say, "Handi started to make her point.
"Well, Pa," Luna nodded happily. He immediately sat down beside Reyhan and glued his body deliberately making Reyhan shift his seat.
"When we come here, we want to give you honeymoon vouchers. Go on a vacation and give us a grandchild!" Handi's order was firm, his hand gave plane tickets and hotel bookings around Labuan Bajo.
"Can't, Pa. I have a lot of work!" Reject Reyhan quickly.
"What kind of job, Rey? You don't have many reasons! Besides, the company belongs to your father. Enjoy your day off and don't be too hard to work! After all, mama wants to immediately fondle grandchildren," Rika now makes a sound.
"Yes, brother. You guys aren't honeymoon yet, are you? I also want to be aunty quickly," Winnie followed suit.
"Onta times ah," Reyhan snorted.
"I don't want to. If you're going on vacation, just take a vacation, don't take me!" Further again.
"Rey, lately you've been the son of a dissident! Papa is disappointed with you!!" Handi raised his voice, he felt disrespected as the head of the family.
"Luna is less like you, Rey?" Lirih Rika is sad.
"Less what? If you knew what Luna was doing. Wake up, cook can't. His job is just playing HP and hanging out with his social gang. Truly a lazy woman and I really don't like that," Reyhan's inner gaze at Luna sharply.
"Don't force me, Pa! I'm having another debate. Our conversation is over. Then I'll say goodbye. I'm gonna take a shower, keep resting. Cape!" Without waiting for approval, Reyhan immediately left his family who seemed to not recognize Reyhan anymore.
"That kid's totally changed, Pa!" Rika started sobbing.
"This is all because of that poor girl. I'm sure you've been seduced by Nayla!" Winnie.
"You're patient, Lun? In a moment we will do the calculations on the girl," Rika sizzled sharply.
Luna nodded and smiled cunningly.
"One more step, Nayla. I'm gonna destroy you."
