After the work was over, finally, ALin decided to go home first to Eva.he also tidied up his desk and made sure all the important files were stored in the room Eva, the head of his team.after he made sure everything was in order ,he also approached Dev who had been waiting since then while staring at the laptop in front of him.

"beb go home yuk" take ALin

"oh.. has it been resolved ? yes already yuk" Dev went to close his laptop and put it in a bag.lalu got up from his seat while holding the hand of the lover.

" mbak eva, I'm first!"

"yes Lin" Eva replied as she waved her hand.

Alin and Dev walk towards the parking lot with their hands interlocked when they arrive at the parking lot a woman greeted them.

"hi Dev!" he turned his head because the voice was familiar to him.He knew exactly that was the voice of his friend who he was very familiar with.

"Gita?? when are you coming home?" Dev embraces the gita, and ALin sees the Gita as very excited - the person who used to always help her - even her current relationship is part of her role.

"sister Gita? hah ALin kangen the same sister Gita after so long can finally meet again" ALin hugged Gita tightly with tears streaming in his eyes.

"iya Lin...hmmm you are so beautiful now so different when I see you in ausi still great?"Gita praised the beautiful face of ALin.

" what if we talk while we eat first?" Dev offers

" ahhh actually I also want Dev but tomorrow because I still have business I just stopped by to say hello to you two.but tomorrow we have to talk a lot okay?" Gita was walking towards her car.

" okay I wait for tomorrow" Dev replied as he waved his hand staring at Gita's departure.

after Gita's car disappeared from the sight of the two then they both decided to go home.The car that was driven by Dev also drove splitting the city street crowds.

"dear we ate out?" tanya Dev broke the silence between the two of them without looking over.

"okee "Dev enters the parking lot of a restaurant to eat with ALin.they enter and sit at a table near the restaurant's glass wall, and order food.

Not long after their order arrived.

but when they were enjoying food at the table Alin arrived surprised by the view in the restaurant parking lot.he almost wanted to see a man and woman he knew very well out of a car with position of embracing each other.

his eyes were rounded and his tongue felt stiff at this time.without him noticing the clear grains falling on the face.Dev who realized it was also finally following the direction of ALin's view. Seeing the couple but he did not know her and was confused why ALin was crying when he saw the couple.

"sad you know them? who're they?" dev gently asked while grasping a finger

ALine.

" no kog beb.we go home now!" pinta ALin suddenly lost her mood when she saw the couple.

"yes, yuk!" Dev finally decided to follow the wishes of ALin because he realized the mood of the lover is not good at this time, and he decided not to ask again at this time.

he was just silent and focused on driving his car through the streets of the city that had begun to dark because it was already night.

likewise, ALin just silently leaned his head on the car glass staring outwards, whatever was currently on his mind.once he seemed to catch his breath.

********

once in the apartment, ALin went straight to the bathroom in their room to prepare to shower without talking.Dev also understood the mood of the lover was just silent and decided to take a bath in the back bathroom.

after a long time, ALin came out with his hair and body still wrapped in a towel. he sat at the dressing table to dry his hair, and he was still wrapped in a towel,Dev approaches and grabs the hairdryer from ALin's hand to help dry his lover's long hair.

"honey... May I ask?" with a soft voice Dev tried to find out about the incident in the restaurant

"hmmmm?" ALin muttered with his eyes closed enjoying the touch of Dev's hand on his head.

"who was that guy?"

"my stepmother" replied ALin briefly.

hearing ALin Dev's answer finally nodded in understanding of the incident and decided not to ask back.

Alin returns moody, why as he tries so hard to forget all the memories of his past .and when he can almost forget why the stepmother and the man had to reappear before him.

although it was difficult for him all this time, but he had tried hard to organize his own life at this time, breaking away from the shadow of his past.
