"You got a lecture today, Ta?" greet the mother Ratih to Love while they are having breakfast together.
"She, Ma. At eleven o'clock, there is only one class today" replied Cinta.
Ratih's mother smiled faintly. Then he looked at Keanu who had just been silent and said nothing but just enjoying his breakfast.
"Kens,"
Keanu raised his face looking at Ratih's mother.
"You're not going to the resto, are you?"
The man shook his head. Where could he have come to the restaurant while his face was still this way.
"From diem at home you take Cinta to the campus," suggested Ratih's mother.
Keanu turned to Love. I wish the girl would refuse. But their gazes were only staring at each other in silence. True love does not really expect Keanu to take her because it feels impossible, while Keanu very obvious if he objected to the request of his mother.
"That hurts your face. Hands are healthy feet, right?" said Ratih's mother again.
The man just took his breath. Then nodded slowly to his mother. Ratih's mother is not insensitive to see her son who clearly objected and was not happy, he said, but for the sake of the common good, Ratih's mother must always lead her to arrive at the path that should be a household like what.
"Alhamdulillah... Mama has breakfast, you continue first, mama still have a need to ask anter Pak Seto out," said Ratih's mother while then moved from her place.
"Ken, later on the road be careful huh," he said again and then stepped out of the house.
There is Love and Keanu in the dining room. The two remained silent until their food was eaten.
"Here let's make it right, Non," prevent mbok Well when Love will bring the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
Love chose to obey only, because she was seized with her husband who was suddenly cold again when there was no Ratih's mother.
"Mas Keanu," said Love as her husband went to the back garden.
The man stopped walking, but did not look to Love.
"Why don't you just be frank with mom, if you actually mind taking me to college." The girl was getting more and more daring to take out the uneg-uneg that was interfering with her thoughts without waiting for later.
"What do you want?" Keanu behind the question that actually does not connect with the question of Love.
"I want you to be honest, no need to play in front of mom. I'm tired, Mas! Actually I can't bear to see Ratih's mother sad because I can't be the wife who loved you."
Keanu. More precisely confused themselves. Why the language even deeper until carrying the name of Ratih's mother. Love is tired, is that a sign that he will ask for a divorce?
"Can't we try to please our parents, Mas? I know you have to marry me. I also actually was not too happy about college even had to get married. But I learned to accept destiny. Maybe this is God's way of getting me closer to you."
Keanu grew silent at the words of Love.
"Sorry that I was too selfish to accept Ratih's mother's proposal without thinking about your feelings. Sorry if I love you, Mom. I'll always remember, if you ever told me not to expect too much. Now I'm resigned you want to take where this relationship is," said Love then went from that place with tears that are not strong he could bear again.
The man did not think much about the words of Love because he thought the girl was only easy to baper because of the period. Although what he said was quite deep, but all has happened. Last night the man had promised to learn to accept the state of Love to his mother. It's just impossible if Keanu says anything about learning it to Love.
Keanu glanced at the clock on his phone. Time still shows almost nine o'clock. That means there's still about an hour before Keanu takes her to campus. In the meantime, let Love be content to cry or anything that can relieve his emotions in the room.
Time slowly rises. But apparently Love is still at home locked himself in the room. Until until Ratih's mother calls Keanu, making sure he really drove Love or not, then Keanu forced to follow Love to his room.
The man goes into his lucky room unlocked by Love. It turned out that after looking inside, Love was not in that room. Keanu suddenly panicked. Do not-don't the girl recklessly run away by jumping the window of the room.
Until the man checked the window of his room which turned out to be still tightly closed, then the man came out of his room planning to look for Love elsewhere.
But the man's footsteps were held back when he saw the room next to him the door was slightly open. The man went straight in there, hoping Love was in the room.
"Geez! I guess crying, it turns out to be sleeping," muttered Keanu anxious himself because it was managed to be made to panic by Love who turned out the person was even engrossed in molor.
The man approached intending to awaken Love to go to college. But the girl woke up first.
"When did you come here, Mas?" tanya Love doesn't like to see Keanu come.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
"Husual, the people follow the nanya as well," sewot Cinta while getting down from his bed.
The girl just left and went into Keanu's room. And Keanu just kept following her to the room. In the room apparently Love was dressing himself with thin powder. Must be preparing to go to campus according to Keanu. After finishing with her activities, Cinta just took her small bag and will move out of the room but was immediately prevented by Keanu.
"Let's take me to campus" said Keanu holding Love while standing in the doorway.
"I don't want to go to college. Already tipped permission with friends," said Love a little tart.
"Trus neatly where are you going?"
"You go to the resto, I want to work again." Then Love pushed Keanu's shoulder to get out of his room.
"Eh, who went there?" Keanu grabbed Love's hand, blocking it quite tightly.
"Please, Mas. I promised Hana." Love tried to take Keanu's hand off, but couldn't.
"I have forbidden you from working anymore. Are you going to dispute the husband's orders?"
"Huh! Husband?" Love smiles bitterly.
"Even you never consider me your wife" said Love.
Until the grip of Keanu's hand slowly can be released, because it feels tangled with the talk of Love.
