"I always lived by logic, so my friends called me a cold woman. But somehow every time I'm with you, my feelings slowly start to take on my logical role. I changed!"
Hind looked at the large mirror before him. With a hoody shirt in army green and combined with long blue sky jeans he was ready to go to his parents' house in Bogor. He immediately took the keys and walked to the basement where his car was parked.
After he entered his red SUV, he immediately pressed the engine start button and entered the automatic gear then pressed the gas pedal and turned his steering wheel to get out of the basement to the highway. Looks like the atmosphere of the weekend morning is still empty vehicle. There are only high-rise buildings and green trees and cool air before the hot sun to greet him and the other inhabitants of the earth.
Today Hind intends to visit his parents in Bogor. In addition to the meeting, he needed advice and advice from them about his relationship with Mohammed. The answer hanging from Mohammed made his mind and heart complicated like a tangled thread so confused what step he should do next as if his logic could not work at all. When was the last time he experienced something like this? It feels like his last relationship with Reza wasn't like this. Although the previous relationship also caused injuries, but his mind is still clear using logic.
Hind pressed the gas pedal deeply when his car had entered the Jagorawi toll road. With the current vacant condition, the loss feels if he does not mention his car. It feels like there is a satisfaction after almost every day struggling between the apartment, hospital and Mall. Sometimes he turned to the left and rearview mirror to make sure that his position was empty to take a swing to overtake the car in front of him. But what are his feelings, huh? The black jeep behind him is like following where the car he drives moves. Never mind, rather than thinking the no-no and making him feel insecure and comfortable, he would rather ignore it. Who does he feel important to be followed by people?
Until an hour and a half passed, he arrived at the home of his parents who were quite simple but beautiful with a garden full of flowers neatly arranged. After parking his car, he got out of the car and rushed to kiss his parents' right hand and hug them. When else can he do this considering the three of them are people who are quite busy with their work.
"How are you doing, son?" Ask Chandra, Papa from Hind.
"Alhamdulillah both Pa, Papa and Mama how are you?" Hind embraces her parents and enters the house to continue their conversation.
"Thank God we're good too, son, it's been a long time since we've been together like this." Kia, Mama of Hind rubbed her son's back gently. "Mom prepared your favorite meal."
"Thank you Ma..."

"Your facial expression is really ugly M," Kireina, the older sister of Mohammed pulled both of her cheeks from behind.
"Oh Brother, sick..," complained Mohammed as he rubbed his reddened cheeks. How not ugly if again he was silenced by his lover. Is this what it feels like to have a Long Distance Relationship? Different countries and in limited communication! The fate of being a member of the Emir family of Dubai makes it necessary to comply with the protocol established by Father and his elders. Fortunately it can still direct messages friendly with Hind on Hexagram. I don't know what would happen if it was forbidden, he again breathed a heavy sigh. Why should it happen to him? Is the stock of Emirati women nothing that can attract her attention?
"Kids, let's say hello to your uncle" Kireina offered her two sons and one daughter. They are Hamdan, Saeed and Sheikha.
"Uncle M!" Shouting the three of them charged towards Mohammed scrambling for a hug from him.
"Hello my dear nephews" Mohammed kissed the cheeks of his three nephews. Understandably, they live in Abu Dhabi and his older sister is very concerned about education for the three of them so even though Mohammed has the opportunity to visit Abu Dhabi not necessarily meet them. "Sister Kireina Tumben suddenly came here without giving any news before..."
"Who said I didn't tell you?" Kireina ruffled her waist as if protesting. "You're so busy with your social media that you forget about our family group. Plus the photos and videos of your selfie you know, the more like giving messages and news to someone. I see your comment column is getting bigger and bigger because of the contents. Aren't you uncomfortable? I understand your position as a single makes them crazy about you. But I'm..."
"Yes, I'm not here to argue either but to deliver the missing children to Grandpa, Grandma and her Uncles." Kireina sighed and walked over to her Father and Mother who were walking towards her.
"Sister Maktoum, how do you know I'm close to someone?" His whisper to his brother.
"Do you want to know or do you want to know?" Temptation Maktoum. When else he could judge his youngest brother, considering Mohammed always looks perfect as if impeccable.
"I'm serious sis..," he said softly.
"Because I'm also an M man," Maktoum smiled as he patted Mohammed's shoulder to encourage him. "What must have been settled by his heart first, then you dare to introduce him to our parents."
"Yes, I know that..."

"That's the story of Pa, Ma..," Hind finally recounted the relationship he was living with Mohammed to his parents. However, they deserve to know because he has been in this relationship for three months. "What do you think Papa and Mama are?"
Chandra and Kia looked at each other as if their inner voices were in tones. There is a concern considering his son never failed to get married and heartbroken. During the five years of his solitude, this time his son again opened his heart even more with foreigners who incidentally are public figures that are different countries and cultures. But forbidding it might hurt the child just wayangnya.
"Maybe it seems silly and does not make sense. I feel it too..." Hind was resigned if both parents did not agree. Their blessing above everything. "I think this is just a trickster act that is cyberspace, but he is real even Nada has proven it."
"Jalani first your relationship with the man Son," said Chandra trying to make the child just calm. "But you know that given your age, Papa and Mama asked that this relationship should be serious. Papa only gives you one year at most. If after a period of a year there is no seriousness from him then leave him."
"I understand Pa.., Ma...,” There is a sense of relief and concern that struck because the lights given were not green lights but yellow which means he still had to be careful to open his heart to Mohammed rather he was not injured anymore as before. But at least he can answer the last message from M.
I have never looked at you, for your perfect side does not despise your weakness
Because I only fell in love with your heart trying to connect it to my heart...
