The bright brown eyeballs saw one by one the dresses presented in the shopping center that he is currently visiting. Girl with braided hair and navy blue dress, go inside. Choose one by one the clothes that he will buy later.
"Bun, is this good?" Eleena directs matcha-colored pajamas at Sinta who accompanies her son shopping.
Sinta smiled in response. Eleena smiled as Sinta nodded her head. The girl's hand again chose the clothes that were in front of her.
Look closely at the dresses around her. Feel the material of the dress, including the selection of colors that are suitable for women his age.
Sinta locked her eyes on the light purple, short-sleeved dress with a belt in the middle. Sinta's feet stepped closer to the leaves that managed to steal the attention of this 50-year-old woman.
Sinta touched the cloth, feeling how the dress material was. Sinta brought up a smile from the corner of her lips. Get the dress and get ready to pay.
"Mother is done?" eleena asked when she saw Sinta heading to the cashier. Sinta nodded, "Yes. We will wait for you outside."
Sinta gave the dress to the party in charge there. One of them mentioned how much the nominal price was and the other put the dress in a pre-prepared shopping bag.
Sinta took her shopping with a friendly smile. He gets out of there, letting other visitors in.
Sinta sat on a chair provided outside the store. His eyes were looking for someone who was also here. Arjuna, the man is with Sinta and Eleena. More precisely accompany Eleena and Sinta for shopping. But now I don't know where that guy is. There were so many people here, it was very difficult for Sinta's eyes to see where her husband was now. Especially considering the age of this woman who is no longer young.
Sinta glanced inside the store, her daughter was still very busy choosing the nice clothes inside. Bored Sinta pulled out the phone from the bag. He needs entertainment too.
Sinta checked the development of the cafe he managed from some files that had been sent by the cafe manager. The cafe that he originally made because he was distraught and confused, now the cafe is growing very rapidly. Moreover, Sinta who renovates many cafes in accordance with the development of the existing era.
If young people today would say this, "The place is gen z really."
Sinta still remembers very well, 10 years ago he first opened this cafe. Right on his 10th birthday, this cafe he dedicated as a gift to the child he loved so much in the world. Even if they are not so close.
In addition to gifts for the child, this cafe is also a memory of Sinta's feelings for Rama who has ended. Because the woman once promised herself, if her feelings for Rama were completely gone, she would build a new business as an appreciation of the self that could give up a jerk like Rama.
Sinta turned off the phone again, put it back in the bag. The woman's hand moved to pick up the water bottle that was inside the bag she had placed right next to. Sinta's slightly shaking hands opened the bottle cap, hurriedly putting a lot of water into her throat.
Sinta rubbed the sweat that soaked the forehead, considering Rama again made Sinta hurt. The story of the woman with Rama has ended for a long time, but it cannot be denied that the wound created because of the incident is still imprinted. She couldn't even lose it if she wanted to.
Disappointment, hatred, and disgust Sinta on Rama is very big. Even if the number is calculated, Sinta himself can not count it. At first Sinta thought the love he gave to Rama was huge even if one day he hated the man, he would not be able to beat the love that was there. But in fact Sinta's hatred defeated the love that was once created for Rama. A sincere love wasted by a man who has no sense.
"Auntie." Vishnu's voice distracts Sinta. The woman raised her head, publishing a smile from the already wrinkled face at the bottom of the eyes.
"What are you doing here? Shopping is also like aunty?" Vishnu hesitated to answer Sinta's question.
"There's Auntie's business, so come here." Sinta can see clearly the lies of Vishnu's speech, because of Vishnu's uncertain eyes, surely people know he is cheating.
But Sinta ignored, even the woman smiled slightly. We don't know why other people lie. As long as it is not harmful, it is okay, but you should not.
"You're a diligent young man it turns out," praised Sinta.
"Oh yeah, you think you're still fighting with your mom?" Vishnu slightly lowered his head, a sensitive question for him.
"Udah is not Tan, but mama still does not want to talk to me. That's why I want to buy something here." Vishnu replied slowly mixed with sadness that emanated in the eyes.
"alone?" ask Sinta again. Vishnu nodded slowly.
Sinta resumed their conversation. Maybe for about five minutes, they spent talking and getting to know each other. But when they were busy chatting, the eyes of Vishnu caught the silhouette of Rama's body in a mirror displayed everywhere. He could see clearly, Rama with a white T-shirt was walking towards him in the middle of the mall crowd where he stood.
"Tante, I'm a permit." Vishnu cut Sinta's words, waltzing away from there before Rama could see his whereabouts. It was a waste of time that he had to argue and hear the talk of a very annoying middle-aged man in his life. But he also became Vishnu's father.
Sinta looked at the astonished back of Vishnu who slowly disappeared from view. The woman turned her gaze back to the front, and again, Sinta's black iris met someone's hazel iris. Iris eyes that used to admire Sinta, but now very Sinta hate.
Sinta's gaze locked for a moment with her. He could not move his gaze in the other direction, as if the iris of hazel eyes was hypnotizing Sinta. For the umpteenth time, Sinta who had kept Rama away from his life, now he was reunited in an undue place.
Sinta still remembers a few days ago he met with Rama in the park, and now he again met in the shopping center.
"What is the universe, why am I meeting him again?" Sinta's eyes started to heat up.
"I can you see the longing in my eyes Sinta?"
Back the same, not moving lips but as if he was exchanging thoughts.
And for the umpteenth time too, Arjuna had to see his wife meeting her ex-husband. Stiffness returned to attack Arjuna, but his legs felt heavy to move. He could only remain silent, seeing the eye contact that had occurred between Rama and Sinta. Until there was a woman who brought Rama to go from the presence of Sinta.
"Never see her again!" That's him, Rama's mother. One of the people who became the reason for the two people who originally loved each other and hoped to have each other turned into strangers and the emergence of hatred.
