Since meeting with Alexa and Doctor Agam at the cafe. Shakti chose to return to the apartment. He wanted to spend time there by himself. There was a strange taste in the sidelines of his heart cavity. A heart that should only be for her lover, mingles with a nameless taste for another girl.
Carrying a soft drink can the man walked to the balcony. Occasionally, the can filled with soft drinks was jammed by enjoying the crowded lights of the city from the height of the seventeenth floor.
I don't understand my feelings. I shouldn't be upset that the girl is close to another man.
He's not who I am and shouldn't affect me. The girl only had a relationship with her mother. Not with.
Shakti keeps trying to get his logic back. He also thought, this is all possible because of his relationship with Clarisa which is a little stretched. The stubborn girl is too dominant in their relationship which sometimes does make the man feel tired and uncomfortable.
Shakti himself did not think too much about it, because all this time, his life was more focused on working. He just wanted to give his wife a decent life without having to work. Not forbid his wife to work, but he just wants his wife to pay more attention to her mother and her small family later.
Selfish. That word became Clarisa's response when she expressed her wish, Clarisa felt Shakti was too restrictive if she was married.
The man who is currently scooping his face violently also continues to try to convince his relationship with the lover. During this time his relationship with Clarisa went well, there was no other love, no commotion even Shakti always obeyed what the lover wanted. Sometimes he also felt the connection was bland. There was no such feeling, the feeling he felt towards the little-lipped girl. Plus an unusual taste. Naive girls who are sometimes funny and can also suddenly turn fierce. Given Alexa, she could only smile to herself.
"God... swear!! I can't avoid it." he told himself.
In fact, three days Clarisa did not contact him even she was still ordinary. Yes, since yesterday's quarrel they no longer contact each other. Usually, Shakti starts contacting the lover but somehow at this time he still feels comfortable without Clarisa.

Alexa is still in the hospital. The coldness made him close the white coat that was still attached to his body. His steps swung with his hands hugging his own body.
At 09.00 wib, the atmosphere of the hospital has begun to be quiet, only a few medical teams on duty are still visible.
"Lexa!" call Agam. Alexa turned to the man who was walking fast to be able to chase the girl who was now smiling towards him.
"Not home yet, Doc?" alexa asked as the attentive man was in front of her.
"I just finished a visit. There's something I want to talk to you about." said Agam. They walked back to Alexa's room. The doctor with thick eyebrows and a sharp nose never stopped chasing Alexa.
"What's wrong, Doc?" ask Alexa by turning her gaze towards Agam.
"You have an event on Sunday?"
"It looks empty, Doc. Why why?" Alexa still does not understand what Dr. Agam means.
"I want to take you to my friend's birthday party." explained Agam. Friends who once had the right to hold a birthday at a resort on the beach.
"Ehmr- .. " Axa seems so doubtful. He also hesitated if he refused Doctor Agam's request. All this time Doctor Agam has been too kind to him.
Not feeling their steps have brought both of them up in front of the Alexa room.
"Please, Doc." Alexa invites Doctor Agam to come in after she opens the door.
"How, Lexa?" Agam asked again, he could not wait to get an answer from Alexa.
"I can't give you an answer yet, Doc. If my parents allow it maybe I can accompany the doctor."
"Well, I'll talk to Om Hans." Agam quickly and eagerly accepted the Alexa requirements. For Agam who already know the Alexa family, it is not difficult to do.
Agam indeed accompanies Alexa until Alexa completes its task. At ten o'clock they rushed home. Agam who is so attentive sometimes makes Alexa feel bad on her own. As of this moment, the man with the big nose offered to drive Alexa home. Alexa drives her own car. Despite getting a rejection, but Agam still trailing Alexa car until veered into the street complex house beautiful girl who made him more sure if Alexa the right girl to fight for.

A very bright morning. Sunlight also broke through from behind the window that had been opened all the curtains. Alexa sees Zoya already in the kitchen. As usual, Zoya must have prepared a warm drink and breakfast in the morning.
Alexa who sees everyone gathered looking for Oma Shanti to help her out of the room. Oma Shanti who is already old is indeed difficult to walk alone with a little distance.
"Papa, when did Hanum buy the car? Hanum's friend's friend to campus has driven himself." whining Hanum with spoiled wrangling on his papa.
"Solicit Mama if it's car business. Papa's money is not as much as Mama's money." Hans replied briefly by opening the phone screen reading the news this morning.
"Later if Hanum is already a thesis." said Zoya who heard his daughter's whining.
"Mom why is that long?" hanum protest with a pouting face. He knew there would be an offer if he asked his mother for everything.
"O Allah Hanum. Honey, if we still demand knowledge we should not overdo it. Their kasian who can only take an angkot or take a taxi. Not everyone has the money to buy a car. Imagine you are in their position, son." Hanum's slightly wayward attitude makes Zoya often have to issue a lecture style. Advising children like Hanum character does not need to just talk once, even he often repeated it many times, although his daughter sometimes seemed to ignore. But Zoya is sure that one day Hanum will be able to understand what she means.
Patience is sometimes not just silence and acceptance, but patience sometimes we have to keep trying and always try.
"Num." call Hans softly by flicking his finger for his daughter to come closer.
"You're practicing driving first! Later if you can, sometimes you can use a house car like Brother Aleks." whispered Hans right in his daughter's ear. Zoya who saw it also understood the behavior of her husband.
"Sister Aleks, it's using the car if there's anything important. After all, if you want a car, save up like Brother Aleks." Zoya said after predicting what her husband said. Hans only dared to glance at Zoya who was already looking at him sharply. The thing that Zoya dislikes the most, Hans overindulges Hanum.
"Mama don't like to go against the flow of the times, deh." said Hanum began to be upset.
"Mama is not against the tide of the Times. Mama just wants your children to have their own principles to face the currents of the Times. Can understand the position of others." Zoya is still trying to make Hanum understand. But it seems useless, his daughter still looks pouting.
"Mama, stingy!" After saying that the girl directly left the dining room by stomping her steps.
"Look, Mom! Hanum looks like Mas Hans." continued Zoya by putting a bowl of sour vegetables on the dining table. While Hans was still smiling faintly as his wife grumbled melodiously. The parenting between Hans and Zoya is indeed very different.
"Where is Oma's most beautiful granddaughter?" asked Oma Shanti when she saw Hanum climbing the stairs.
"Remember Oma" replied Alexa by bringing warm tea with special sugar in front of Oma.
"Loh, it's been a long time since Hanum has given Oma chocolate." When Zoya and Hans perform Hajj, Hanum often gives Omanya chocolate to be more obedient.
"Astagfirullah Hanum-Hanum" complained Alexa when he heard he said. As it turned out, the girl used a shortcut to calm the fussiness of Oma Shanti. Zoya and Alexa shook their heads at Oma Shanti's confession. Meanwhile, Hans was still smiling with his daughter's wits.
"Oh yes, Al. Yesterday Doctor Agam met Papa at the office. He said he would take you to his friend's birthday" Hans said after sipping a cup of warm coffee.
"Keep according, Papa?" alexa asked waiting for Hans' reaction. Hans's gaze was fixed on Zoya who had nodded. Zoya is convinced that her daughter can take care of herself.
"Papa Permin, but don't go home for the night." Hans insisted
"Doctor Agam seems like a good man. Apparently, he likes Brother Ale too." Carefully Zoya lures her daughter. Zoya could feel from the way Doctor Agam looked at her daughter, if the man liked her firstborn.
"Not knowing either, Ma. Sometimes Ale doesn't feel good about everything else." Ale replied.
"First, Mama the age of Brother Ale already had Hanum and Aleks. Then Papa's getting old to keep his daughter alone."
"To keep Ale, I can still. I'm not that old, Zoy." Hans protested. Zoya's persuasion for Ale to start thinking about a life partner ends in a row between Hans and Zoya. Meanwhile, the white girl was even fun to feed Oma Shanti breakfast.
Seriate...
