"You sure you're gonna take Tata with you Ye?" Bli Wayan ensures the steadiness of his sister's heart that will bring girls people.


"The man who wanted to come with me Bli, he thought he should start supporting himself. But I don't think it's a bad thing, he can see the outside life and his mind is not focused on Mbah Sarni's departure" Jaye expressed his opinion.


"But you have to take good care of her, don't hurt her"


"I won't do anything that makes her sad let alone cry" Jaye recalled Tata.


"So, when are you leaving?" mbak Ketut voiced after being a good listener.

"You're seriously going nduk?" paklek Arif asked after Tata asked permission to go to the city.


"Of course, I'm an adult, I have to support myself. I'm not here anyway" Tata closed her eyes remembering something painful.


"Not having anything for? paklek is still very able to support you, feed you, buy clothes and all your needs. There are paklek, there is Bik Mini also Davi, we are all your family and share with the house relics of Mbah if you go?" paklek did not have the heart to release his nephew to the city.


"Isn't the house already on sale? that's why Bik Selvi and her husband are home?" Tata smiled looking at his pack.


"Nduk.." Arif's package was blocked, did not know what to say, paklek was also surprised Tata knew the truth.


"I'm a grown man, so don't go around thinking I'm a boy anymore.I don't have to hide anything from me, I also have to learn to live independently. So let me decide my way of life" Tata sighed. "Not that I don't value paklek as a replacement for my parents, I also love panglek, Bibik, also Davi, but let me live this life according to my will" Tata used the words as wisely as possible to allow him to go to the city.


"Alright if your decision is unanimous. Go and live your life as you wish, but come home here if you are tired" resigned paklek did not stop by to prevent the ponakan.


"Surely" lirih Tata.

Tata and Jaye arrive at a second-level shophouse. The shop is still covered by a silver rolling door, with the size of the shophouse that is ideal also strategically located to open a business.


It looks like this new building is still very visible some shophouses are still in the finishing stage but some have also begun to operate starting their business, such as Loudry, Accessories, Salon, Mini boutique, Workshop, and so on, there's also Kang Bakso.


"Bli said open a little counter?" Tata opened his voice after believing that the big shophouse was Jaye's place of business.


"And it's small, just one shophouse" in short. "Let's go in" he asked by carrying Tata's backpack also his own.


"It's a big Bli, try Bli tomorrow check the eyes of the dech" upset Tata. "We're gonna stay here?"


"Hem, you can use the room above, I happen to have filled it with a single bed as well as a closet, there is a bathroom also above" explained Jaye.


"Where did Bli sleep?"


"I can sleep down here, buy another single bed" he lightly.


"But it..."


"No need to buts, or do you want us to sleep in one room?" Jaye smiled raising her thick eyebrows.


"On the second floor is very spacious and empty. Bli sleeps here rather than below" Tata suggested, it feels very sad if Tata is on this spacious upper floor.


"Something doesn't want to be away from me" he said. A sweet smile stared intensely at Tata.


"Ish.. Don't look at me like that Bli" misbehavior.


"Why indeed?"


"I'm like I have heart disease" Tata felt his chest feel like an earthquake.


"However possible? you're too young to have heart disease" Jaye panicked.


"I don't know either, because every Bli looked at me as soon as my heart was beating fast, pounding violently" to be honest, and Jaye smiled hearing that.


"What if I touch your hand? is it still pounding on your chest?" Tata nodded. "Then when I touched your cheek?" Tata sculpting, he felt really hit by a heart attack, only able to blink when his eyes are big. Jaye looked softly at the girl, her heart was pounding, Jaye was really in love with the girl who was now in front of her.

"Bli, what's the name of the counter?" they're putting things together in the storefront.


"Artajaye Phone Centre" is still focused on composing the goods.


"Isn't Bli Sanjaye's name? why is it Artajaye?" Tata stopped his activity, looking questioningly at Jaye.


"Because it's the name of two people. Arta is Arsinta, and Jaye is my name. Bagusan? or do you mind if I use your name?" Jaye looked at Tata.


"Bli, I don't mind. But not the name of the business or brand is very important huh? why is Bli so famous?" The fear of his name does not bring good luck to Jaye's efforts, as he never had luck. The girl became very pessimistic.


"How's gasal?" Jaye does not understand, is not the name Tata in his business signifies he is very important for Jaye.


"I'm an unlucky girl Bli, what if my name doesn't make Bli's business go well?" lirih Tata lowered her head.


"Hey..What are you talking about?" jaye's hand raised Tata's chin. "Listen, no one is unlucky, everyone will live out his luck and misfortune. If you are currently living your misfortune, tomorrow you will also live your luck" Jaye assured Tata.


"Bli.."


"I'm so lucky to know and meet you. You're the woman I love the most today tomorrow and make it easy forever. You mean a lot to me and you should know that" Jaye carried Tata in her arms.


"Sorry..."


"Don't repeat, I'll be with you and accept you all my heart" Jaye stroked Tata's hair.


"I'm afraid Bli.."


"What are you afraid of?"


"I'm afraid of our differences, I'm afraid of losing Bli" said Tata tightly hugging Jaye's body.


"I'll never leave you, unless death can't separate us" Jaye cupped Tata's cheeks erasing the tears.


"Never leave me for any reason, never betray me, nor will I be able to face my world"


"I promise to be with you until the end of my life" Jaye meant it.


"Then I'll give up my life for you"


"And let me take care of you for the rest of my life" Jaye kissed Tata's forehead.


"So now we're together? we dating? we're a couple of lovers?" tanya Tata is still in Jaye's arms.


"Hem.I am the only man in your life, your heart, your mind" Jaye reduced his embrace. "In your eyes there will be only my face, and your lips will always say my name, you hear that?" Tata nodded his head as a sign he understood Jaye's intentions.


True love is never wrong, it's just that some individuals are wrong because they force to choose the love. Love is happiness, not sadness, Love is a beautiful feeling, not pain.
