After circling around the city streets while struggling together. Now Bondan stops his bike in the city park.
"Why do we stop here?" Ask Rima, in astonishment. Then he got off the bike and followed Bondan, then both of them chose to sit in the long chair in the middle of the park.
"Don't you remember, in this city park we met first." Bondan smiled.
"Oh." Rima replied briefly, then turned her face away, as she did not want to stare at the man nearby for too long.
"Just Oh?" ask Bondan.
"Then I have to answer what? It's all over and we have our own lives, so forget our painful past." Rima said, slowly.
"The more hurt here is me, you understand!" Said Bondan, full of affirmation.
"Hey, why are you angry? It's over so don't bring it up again." Rima replied, a little upset.
"Yes, I understand and I understand. Your social status, age, and also work are what make your family do not approve of our relationship. But, I'm grateful for parting with you, I found a woman who loved and accepted me for who I was and so did I love her so much." Bondan.
Rima sighed for a moment and closed her eyes tightly while massaging the base of her nose slowly.
"Must be discussed again." Rima said, a little angry.
"Do you know, my late wife's last request was to get me married again." Reply Bondan, looking at the beautiful woman sitting next to him.
"She's married again." Rima replied, looking at Bondan while commenting on a smile.
"But do you know that the woman my late wife chose was you!" Said Bondan firmly.

The smile that framed Rima's face instantly vanished, upon hearing Bondan's words.
"Barang you!" Rima said, shaking her head.
"Whatever, you want to believe it or not!" Bondan replied, then got up from his seat and extended his hand to Rima.
Rima looked up and stared at the burly hand for a moment, then he stood alone without welcoming the helping hand.
Bondan clenched his hand and exhaled his coarse breath as Rima ignored the outstretchedness of his hand.
Then the two walked to the RX king motorcycle parked on the edge of the park. Both are now on motorcycles and have been wearing Helmets, after which Bondan drove his vehicle to split the city road to the house of Rima. It does not take long, the motorbike driven by Bondan has now arrived in front of a tall and sturdy gate.
"Thank you." Rima said, when he got off the bike then he took off the helmet and handed it to Bondan.
"Hem." Bondan answered briefly, and received the helmet Rima gave him. Then Bondan immediately launched his motorbike without seeing Rima who was still standing not far from him.
"Be careful." Lirih Rima and waved his hand slowly, when he saw that the bike in Bondan had moved away.

Bondan propelled his bike at medium speed. And he recalled his first encounter with Rima while in the city park decades ago.
The Flasback
A man wears an ivory-white sweater carrying a sling bag perched on his right shoulder while holding an umbrella to protect himself from rainwater. The man walked hurriedly in the middle of the city park which was drenched by the heavy rain in the afternoon. He walked in haste and accidentally the umbrella he was holding was clutching with an umbrella belonging to a woman who was walking in the opposite direction to him.
"Sorry." Said the man who was none other than Bondan.
"Yes." Yeah." The woman replied, and smiled sweetly to make Bondan charmed with his sweet smile. After that the two continued their steps again, but the two of them turned to each other and threw a smile.
Love at the first sight, that's what Bondan felt at the time. Her heart beat very fast as she recalled the beautiful face and the woman's sweet smile.
After that incident Bondan always came every day to the city because he hoped to meet the woman again. There was hope every day for almost a month that he came to the park, but he never met the woman again until he finally gave up. And his days passed as usual and he slowly began to forget the woman who had stolen his heart.
But one time when he came home from work and passed the city park he saw a beautiful woman who was alone in the park, even though it was almost midnight. Curious and the woman did not look okay, she walked over to him. At that time he did not have a vehicle so he wanted to go wherever he walked or took public transportation.
"Mr?" Call Bondan, when he's near the woman. There were sobs coming from the woman in blue and cupping her face with both hands.
"Yes." Yeah." The woman answered and raised her head. Then the woman wiped her tears quickly and looked at Bondan with her puffy eyes.
Bondan smiled broadly as he looked at the woman. The woman who a few months ago haunted his mind and had stolen his heart.
Bondan that day was very happy because he was reunited with the woman. But, it seemed that the woman did not remember him.
"Mbak why?" Ask Bondan.
"It's okay, Mommy." The woman replied short.
"Mbak news, who knows by telling stories can make your heart relieved." Said Bondan, then without telling him to sit beside the woman.
"I'm Bondan, who are you?" He introduced himself and extended his hand.
"I'm Rima." He answered and shook the hand of the man sitting beside him.
"Now tell me about Ma'am's problem, who knows I can help." Said Bondan, like a hero of the night.
It seemed that the woman seemed hesitant, but in the end the woman told Bondan the problem.
"A month ago my husband passed away, and I'm just here to vent my grief." Rima said, slowly.
"So Jan—" Bondan looks shocked.
"Yes my widow has two children." Rima replied, bowing his head.
"But he still looks so young."
"Yes, my 15-year-old marriage was arranged and my husband died in a car accident." Rima replied, explaining her status.
"Is the person shocked, right?" guess Rima.
"Yes, he he hee." Bondan scratched his nape that was not itchy, because he did not expect that the woman who had stolen his heart was a widow had two more tails.
But the name of love, want whatever the status, Bondan still want to pursue his love. Because according to Bondan, a widow or a virgin is the same.
After the incident he found again with Rima, Bondan did not miss the opportunity. They exchange mobile phone numbers and often meet when the opportunity arises. Rima who often confided in his condition that became a single parent and Bondan became a good listener, and over time Rima began to feel comfortable with Bondan and when Rima was comfortable with him, Rima was comfortable with him, he ventured to express his love that he had been so long. And he was very grateful and happy because Rima received his love.
But, the happiness they felt was only a moment, because their love was hindered by the blessing of the Rima family.
