Soon after, Mama Dewi came with two bottles of mineral water in her hand.
"Arya, this is a drink first. You must be thirsty, right?" Mama Dewi gave one bottle to Arya's hand. Instead of drinking immediately, the man was silent. Though his throat feels dry after talking to his ex-wife earlier.
"Arya, why?" Ask Mama Dewi who saw her son was silent. Arya shakes.
"It's okay, Ma." The answer.
"Let's go home." Bring along.
"Yes, but first drink the water." Tell Mama Dewi, Arya can only obey.
Her afternoon.
The Rubby Cake's
Some of Rubby's freshly cooked cakes are on display at his storefront. A smile on his lips because he could meet his ex-husband again.
"Rubby..." Call someone who just came. The smile on Rubby's face instantly disappeared to see who it was.
"Good day, Rubby." Greet Doctor Malik.
"What's wrong?" Ask Rubby flat.
"I just wanted to ask you." The man standing in front of Rubby was just stymied by the window table.
"About what?" Ask Rubby.
"Why did you reject my proposal last night?" Doctor Malik asked while looking seriously at the hijab girl.
"Isn't that my right? Do you accept or reject it?" Rubby asked, without looking at the man.
"I just want to know why. Is that wrong? What was my lack of self to reject my proposal?"
Rubby breathed a heavy sigh, the existence of the handsome Doctor really made him uncomfortable.
"Because I don't want to get married again. Even if I have to remarry, I just want to get back with my ex-husband." Rubby replied honestly, looking disappointed in Doctor Malik's face.
"Do you love your ex-husband?" Ask. Rubby looked away, and stared fixedly at Doctor Malik.
"Then why did Arya divorce you? Doesn't he love you? And you're the only one who loves her?" Ask Dr. Malik.
"You want Arya to love me or not, it's none of your business. Obviously, I'll keep waiting for him for whatever it takes." Rubby replied with a slight annoyance, it's a matter of his heart and the man has no right to judge him.
"Is there no chance for me?" Ask Doctor Malik in a desperate tone.
"No, and never will." Rubby answered seriously. The girl sat back in her seat, while Doctor Malik could only stare at her pus. It seemed that there was already no chance for him to get the girl's heart.
"I'm sorry." Pamphitt.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Rubby briefly.
Rubby covered his face with both palms, feeling relieved after saying it all to Doctor Malik. The man would definitely not expect anything more from him.
"I'm sorry Doctor Malik, but I can't accept you. Because in my heart there is only the name of Mas Firaz."
He should have been tough like this before. Until there is no man like Bara who bothers him.

Two months have passed...
Everything seems to be going normally. Doctor Malik has not seen Rubby again, not because of the heartache Rubby has rejected him, but he is quite self-aware. He means nothing compared to Arya in Rubby's heart.
Although Doctor Malik still harbors feelings for Rubby, but he is sure time will slowly erode the feelings in his heart.
And Rubby was pleased, the man did not come to see him again.
