"You haven't been here in a long time."

Amanda's late mother's best friend told Amanda. Today, the wife of Keenan Arka Adrian came to visit. For the past few years, he had not seen the woman he often called the aunt. Because the aunt has a very close relationship with her late mother. Every time she saw her aunt, Amanda was often sad because it was like seeing her own mother.

"It's a drink first." Aunt Titiek, as she is often called, puts a glass of warm tea on the dining table.

"Auntie listen, you're married now and have children."

"Yes, aunt."

"Tante also heard your husband is young, he said."

Amanda smile.

"Yes, aunt."

"Auntie doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are happy. Married to an older man does not guarantee happiness."

Amanda smiled again.

"But one aunt's advice, be careful. Take good care of your marriage. Your husband is still young, there must be many women around him who want to be with him. Especially he said that the husband was an artist."

Amanda drinks the tea, then nods.

"Auntie's fine, right?" ask Amanda later.

"Good aunt, just a little quiet. Om you're still busy working, your grandfathers are already at abroad all.

"Mario same Marcell, college auntie?"

"If Mario is, then go to college. Marcell already works as a doctor there in America."

"Oh that, rarely come home aunty dong."

"Yes, that's why it's a lonely house" said aunt Titiek later.

Amanda's drinking her tea. In front of him there is a cake that he brought earlier, but Aunt Titiek also provides some other snacks for him.

"Sometimes, bring your babies here. He feels like he has a grandmother from his mother. Aunt is lonely too. Sometimes auntie if bosen play sosmed, auntie talk with plants."

Amanda almost choked with laughter.

"Tante is exactly like my mom used to be, likes to talk about plants."

"And your mother was friends from childhood. One is not sane, not all sane."

Aunt Titiek and Amanda laughed.

"Let's aunt, Amanda'll bring the kids here."

"Whose name is your son?"

"Afka with Azka, aunt."

"The picture."

Amanda showed a picture of her two children to Aunt Titiek.

"Oah, all the handsome guys. Gemes, how old are you?"

"Three months, aunt."

"Go."

"This is Afka, she loves to squirm aunty."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, he's just squirming a tree, he likes. Wiggling flowers, grass, all kinds of plants."

"If the other?"

"If Azka, she likes to watch. If his papa plays PS, he likes to eat. Focus so much, that sometimes I put my hands in her face to let her blink."

Aunt Titiek laughed at all that.

"After all, don't don't. You have to bring them here, let auntie once in a while have a friend."

"Yes, aunt." said Amanda with a smile.

"This is it, Amanda actually did not accidentally pass. Because I met a client near here. Passing through, inget aunt. It's Amanda buying cookies at the store up front."

"That's at the end of the road, isn't it?"

"Yes aunty."

"Yes because you stopped by, do not go home before eating vegetable lodeh made by aunty."

Amanda smiled, her mother and aunt Titiek are the best makers of lodeh vegetable according to the version of her tongue.

"Yes, aunt. Amanda wants to." Amanda said later.

"Arka."

Ryan, who had just stepped out of his luxury car, walked over to Arka, who had just left the office that afternoon.

"Ryan?"

Ryan smiled.

"So, we're copying?" ryan asked the boy.

"M." Mmm."

"I've been asking since a few days ago, when you came to my company. But to this day, you haven't told me about when we can have coffee."

Arka smiled.

"Ok." said Arka later.

"I brought my own car" said Arka.

"Ok, Green Lake Coffe Kencana 2."

Arka sighed and nodded her head.

"Ok." he said later.

Ryan got into his car, while Arka got into Amanda's car he used to use. They left the Sunshine Company.

Long enough they were on the way, because stuck a long traffic jam. But after that they were already seen sitting together in a place, in the corner of the cafe. Ryan sipped his coffee, and so did Arka.

"So, are you thinking about moving offices?"

Arka laughed at the question.

"Mmm, not really." she said later.

"Why?. About the salary?"

Arka laughed again.

"When it comes down to it, I can love you better" Ryan said.

Arka sighed.

"It's not about that, so far Mr. Putra is a good boss. Not every workplace can provide comfort to its employees."

"I could be better than him, and my office contains friendly people."

"Ok, give me a little time" said Arka and went back to sipping his coffee.

"May I know, why did you get married so quickly?"

Ryan started asking about Arka's personal matters.

Arka was silent.

"e, sorry. I asked because I used to get married young" Ryan later said. He was afraid that Arka was offended by the question he had just asked.

"Hhhhh."

Arka sighed.

"I love her." said Arka briefly.

"Ow, okay."

Ryan seemed to understand, but Arka's answer seemed to still leave a mystery. As if there is another story behind it all, but Ryan did not want to pry the privacy of his son further.

"I miss your pigs."

Ryan issued a statement that made Arka stunned, even though Ryan had only met his babies a few times.

"They are healthy and at home, come home sometime" said Arka.

"That's some kind of invitation?" ask Ryan.

"Mm, yeah." Arka answered and smiled.

Time passed and their conversation continued.

"He likes it the same time you, Ka."

Rio made Arka who was drinking, choke.

"Anjrit, I was assessed by grandparents" he said, continuing to drink.

"Weighing you're being assessed by Sugiono's grandfather."

"Uhuk, you son of a bitch. I'll have a drink, anyjay." Arka sewot due to her drinking activity became disturbed, while Rio chuckled.

Arka drank the water back and said.

"Ryan is Nino's father and Ansel. Two kids, time yes have a crush on a boy."

"Oh he who raised Nino to be a child, and he's Ansel's father too?"

"Yes. He found me yesterday, to persuade me to join his company. Nino, he has his own business. While Ansel, don't want to take care of his company."

"He told you the same story?" ask Rio.

"Yes." answered Arka.

"Well, Ansel is like me. I also really mager anjir, nerusin bokap business. But the thing is, he was really good as long as he was my father."

"Well, before he was your father, what was he?"

"So-genesis." said Rio while laughing.

"I mean, my dad was a really good dad. I want to reject her request, think first. Segan, afraid she's sad. That's why I did it, when he asked me to finish college. So that he can handle his efforts."

Arka sighed.

"Patience, bro." she said as she patted Rio on the shoulder. But then they both laughed, because Arka instead hit his best friend's shoulder hard.

"Lo moved on, you know, bro. The Ryan company. Like his two children no one wants, you can show your best performance. Could it be, he entrusted you as the main director there later."

"Then, anyjay." said Arka laughing, the young man sipped back the water in front of him.

"Yes, who knows. Yeah, right?. How do we know if we don't try."

"Yes, but halu lo emang really kebangetan." said Arka again.

"Then is a small part of prayer, bro. Halu aja first. Embodied or not mah, business later."

"Sabi-sabi." said Arka while laughing.
