The Cause of Falling in Love

Saras walked towards a shelf that size is quite large in the corner of the room is very neat. Inside the shelf were many books arranged in an orderly manner. Then he spontaneously picked up a book wrapped in pink called "First Love" and took it out of the room to a balcony where the scenery presented the glitter of city lights and skyscrapers.

Saras pulled out a chair to sit down and placed his book on a round table in front of him. Before opening the book, Saras looked up at the sky full of stars that varied in size and different colors. His smile widened as he watched the beautiful natural scenery. Moreover, the gusts of wind further added to the peaceful and calm atmosphere.

This kind of atmosphere was well liked by Saras who was happy with a quiet and peaceful place, away from the noise of the crowd. I don't know, maybe because he's an introvert. However, as a student at his university who focuses on education, where he will be surrounded by hundreds of children every day, of course he will always be in a crowded and noisy atmosphere.

"Why, son?" suddenly someone's voice sounded. Saras turned his body and looked towards the voice. "Mama" Saras said with a smile.

Ainun placed two small cups containing his favorite tea and his daughter Saras on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat right next to Saras.

"Saras was looking at the stars, Mah. It's pretty, isn't it?" saras said as he looked up again into the sky.

Ainun also looked up and looked at the beautiful sky conjured by the stars. "Yes, beautiful like my daughter, Saras," Ainun replied with a smile on her face.

Saras slowly lowered his face when he heard his mother's words. His smile still flashed on his lips. "Beautiful like those stars, Mah?" ask Saras.

Ainun lowered his face and held Saras' right cheek, then rubbed it gently. "of course. You're beautiful like the twinkling stars out there, son!" Ainun smiled, and Saras also smiled. Then Ainun gave a kiss on Saras' forehead.

"Mmmmuaayachhh..."

"I love Mama" said Saras.

"Muuuachh." Saras returned the kiss of his mother.

"If Saras is as beautiful as the stars, and Mamah as beautiful as the moon" Saras whispered affectionately.

Ainun and Saras smiled together after giving each other compliments. Suddenly, Ainun remembered the warm tea that was deliberately provided for him and Saras. He removed his hand from Saras' cheek and took one of the cups containing the tea.

"It used to be tea to drink" Ainun said, giving the cup to Saras.

However, Ainun's attention was drawn to a book wrapped in pink on the table that read "FIRST LOVE".

"Thank you, Mah" said Saras, grabbing a cup from his grasp and drinking a little of his still-warm tea, then looking up at the sky again while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.

Ainun frowned. "Saras, since when have you read such a book?" ask Ainun in wonder.

Saras lowered his face and looked at the book he had placed on the table which was now in his Mamah's hands. "Why, Mah?" saras asked, enjoying his tea.

"You're in love?" ainun said curiously.

Saras choked on hearing his Mom's words. The tea that he drank even gushed out that hit his Mamah.

Saras then placed the teacup on the table and cleaned his face with his hands. "Are you okay, son?" ainun asked worriedly, then he rubbed Saras' back.

"Yes, Mah, I'm fine" Saras said.

"Mama is just curious. Tumben you read a book like that. Usually you prefer psychology books, about teachers and children," Ainun said.

"Really, Son? You have to trust Saras. Saras is not in love" Saras said, grabbing her hand and assuring her mother that she was not in love.

Instead of being angry, Ainun laughed at his daughter's behavior. "Haha..."

Saras let go of his Mamah's hand and pursed his lips. "Mom why laugh? Something's funny, huh?" asked Saras who was offended that his Mom laughed because of him.

"Haha... Yes, funny. You are so funny, Saras," replied Ainun who was still laughing. Then he took a breath and sighed slowly.

"Mommy?" call the spoiled Saras out of embarrassment. Let alone seeing his mother laughing because of him,

"I'm sorry Mama, honey. Mama laughed not because she mocked you, but because of your funny behavior. You seem to be very afraid if you are in love," said Ainun, then he grabbed a cup containing tea and then drank it.

"Rome?" call Ainun while putting the cup back on the table. He looked at Saras, and Saras also looked at him.

"You're an adult, son. You're 21 years old. Papa and Mama won't ban you if you fall in love with a man."

"Yes, but Saras was afraid to see the Mah Man," he replied as he lowered his head. Ainun wanted to laugh again, but she held him back from not wanting to see her daughter's pouting face again. "Fearful? Why?" ask Ainun. "Yes, just be afraid Mah. Miss said, that guy is bad. Likes and struggles only at first, after it is abandoned," Saras said innocently. Miss Aliska was Saras' best friend since First High School. Even until now they remain together and study at the same University. Things are different with Saras who has never been in love. Miss has changed partners many times. But never got a man who was sincere and really serious to her. This is one of the reasons Saras is afraid of men, even afraid of falling in love. Saras always shuts himself off from the men who pursue him and focus on his education.

Ainun snorted, "Miss says like that?" Saras nodded. "Not all men are like that, son. The proof, Papah you are loyal to Mamah, love and love Mama, let alone you," said Ainun. Ainun grabbed Saras' chin and slowly raised Saras' head so that now their faces were facing each other. "Sometimes you will feel the name in love. But you also have to be careful in putting and putting your heart. Don't give it to men. You need to choose who the man deserves to get your heart, son."

"Yes Mah, later if there is a man who managed to make Saras fall in love, Saras will definitely tell you," Saras replied. Ainun smiled and nodded his head. Then he kissed Saras's head gently.

Having shown at 04:00 in the morning, Daren pulled her blanket and walked towards the bathroom. After bathing for 30 minutes, he took his white towel and wrapped it around his waist. Then he came out of the bathroom to a special room for his clothes. His face was so excited and cheerful. He began to sort out the clothes he would wear to go to campus.

Daren picked up some shirts and some shirts with different motifs, as well as the pants he would wear. He seemed confused which clothes to wear. Even he threw a shirt that he thought was not suitable to wear. He kept looking around and trying it while in style in front of his king size mirror.

After almost 30 minutes of trying to find, Daren finally found a dress that he thought was very suitable and fit to wear. Then he picked up a luxury watch that was almost identical to the clothes he was wearing. After that, he chose one of the shoes from the closet. "Very handsome." He said in his heart while brushing his hair and styling like a cool man. Then he grabbed an expensive perfume with a typical man's scent and sprinkled it on several parts of his body.

After feeling perfect, he walked out of the room. He grabbed his cell phone and his bag containing a car key and a credit card. Confidently, he walked out of the room and headed to the dining table for breakfast. But Daren was confused, his house looked very quiet. In fact, he did not find his mother in the living room as usual. Even the TV is not on.

Daren grew increasingly confused and walked towards the dining table. Again he was confused, because he saw the dining table was still clean and there was no one breakfast menu that Bik Asih served. "People on why the hell? Why is the clock not awake yet? Bik Asih also has not prepared breakfast." Gerrilla Daren. Then he looked for Bik Asih to the kitchen.

"Bik... Make Asih!" yelled Daren calling Bik Asih. Sudarsih felt astonished at being called at a time that was still early in the morning, which was at 05. “Iya Den? What's up?” Sahut Sudarsih that was cut. Daren frowned looking at Sudarsih who was looking at him. "Bik... Why do you see me like that?" daren asked, but Sudarsih did not answer. He continued to stare at Daren with a strange look.

Daren gets more confused and he checks his clothes, but he finds nothing strange. "There is nothing strange about my appearance, then what makes Bik Asih look at me like that" he said in his heart. Then he approached Sudarsih and said, "Bibik..." Hearing Daren's voice, Sudarsih was surprised. "Eh, yes Den.." replied Sudarsih in a heavy tone.

"Aunt why the hell look at me like that? And why is it that Bibi hasn't prepared breakfast yet" asked Daren, pointing to the empty dining table. Sudarsih was confused and wondered why Daren asked for breakfast this morning.

"But Den, this.." he replied, but Daren cut him off and said, "This is Mamah, why haven't you gotten up at this hour? Mr. Yanto is not awake yet. What's wrong with you guys?"

"Moment... Mamma... Mr. Yanto, wake up" cried Daren to make noise. Greeta was annoyed by Daren's voice and turned towards the mini-sized clock on the nightstand. He saw the time still showing at 5:10.

"New at this hour? But why is Daren already rushing around like a fire beard person, huh? He usually wakes up the most. Kok is now suddenly awake and noisy again" Greeta murmured. He pulled the blanket that covered his body, then got up to approach Daren who had made a fuss and interrupted his rest.
