Geck. Geck. Geck.

"Arya, it's Mama." As usual, before entering the room her son Mama Dewi always knocked on the door first.

"Yes, Ma. Just go in." Arya.

"Arya, Mama brought you dinner." Mama Dewi sat next to her son.

"Ma, why is Rubby still here?" Arya asked suddenly, stopping Mama Dewi's hand movements that were about to bribe her.

"Rubby just delivered the cake for us, Arya." Answer Mama Goddess.

"Then why is Rubby crying?" Ask Arya.

"You hear?" Mama Dewi asked back.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Arya.

"Then what do you think, Arya?" Ask Mama Goddess.

"Where's what?" Arya doesn't understand.

"So you're nailing Rubby. Not the happiness Rubby felt, but just the sadness. Don't you intend to reconcile with Rubby?" Ask Mama Dewi expectantly. Arya shakes.

"No. Just leave it like this." The answer.

"You have the heart to make Rubby continue to grieve?"

"Rubby just needs time, Ma. Oh yes, Andika said. If there's a guy who likes Rubby."

"Who?"

"Doctor Malik, the doctor who treated Arya at that time."

Mama Dewi was stunned to hear it.

Doctor Malik? The doctor was handsome and young.

"Did Rubby like it too?" Asked Mama Dewi, Arya sniffed her shoulders.

"Arya doesn't know, Andika just said there's a guy who likes Rubby." Answer Arya.

"From here you can understand, right? If there's a guy much better than Arya who likes Rubby. He's also a doctor, while Arya? Arya's a nobody, Ma. Arya was just an ordinary man who could no longer see. There are a lot of guys out there who love Rubby. And Rubby just needs time to open his heart to another man." Arya took a deep breath and threw it away slowly, a sense of tightness filled her heart saying just that.

"Don't say that, Arya. You're Mama's man. You're an amazing man." Mama Dewi rubbed her son's shoulder.

Mama Dewi began to feed her eldest son, although Arya had said several times she could eat alone, but Mama Dewi always insisted on bribing him.

"Why is Rubby so hard to get close to?" Murmured a man who was looking at the beauty of the night from the window of his apartment.

"It seems I have to be reckless. To let Rubby know that I really like him."

"Yes, it seems like it has to be." Doctor Malik said solemnly. He'll make a surprise for the hijab girl.

Next night.

Andika had just arrived at his wife's house. Seen a car also entered the yard of Bakti's father's house. Andika frowned to see who had just gotten out of the car.

"Doctor Malik?" Mumbled wonder.

"Hi, Andika!" Doctor Malik, they know each other well. Because Andika has met with Doctor Malik several times during a visit to Rubby's cake shop.

"Doctor here? What's up?" Andika asked confused.

"I just want to visit." Answer the handsome man. Andika was silent for a moment, why did the man visit her in-laws' house. It's not like Rubby turned down his request yesterday.

"Can I come in?" Doctor Malik asked Andika.

"Akh, yes. Please Doc." Answer Andika who actually felt hesitant to invite the guest.

"Assalamualai'ikum." Andika said a greeting while knocking on the door. No need to wait for long for the door to open.

"Getishalight." A distended young woman greeted his arrival.
