The weather greeted us this morning. The trees along look friendly and shady due to last night's rain. Cool air accompanies, keeps it fresh in the breath. Ferdian laid off a natural, traditional, and typical Sundanese-style inn with many saung-saung or wooden huts. The teacher chose this inn himself. Initially he will choose a hotel or inn close to tourist attractions. However, instead he wanted to seek tranquility from the natural atmosphere provided by this inn.
Ajeng has reserved a fairly spacious room located in front of an artificial lake. The cottage looks beautiful and cool because behind it is surrounded by many small trees and other green plants. There was a rocky artificial river flowing in the hut of his chosen room. A waiter escorted Ajeng and Ferdian to his cabin.
"If you need help, please just call us right away, sir, Mom?" said the young man's servant, friendly.
"Okay, thank you so much!" ferdian.
Ajeng sat his body on a classic-style mattress with a wooden cot with a mosquito net. The window of his room directly faces the view of the lake whose water is green. There were flowers and lotus leaves on it.
"Where? Same thing you expected?" tanya Ferdian sat himself next to his wife.
"Yes, good! It's delicious here! The atmosphere is beautiful, calm, and feel the nuances of nature," said Ajeng closed his eyes.
"So we're just here? Don't you want to go for a walk?" ask Ferdian.
"Rest first, then go!"
Ferdian looked at his wife and smiled.
Soft light showers visit during the day. The ripples of water on the surface of the lake become a beautiful sight that can be seen from the room. The soft downed trees were subjugated by the rain.
"It's raining? Can not go out," said Ferdian who just finished praying dzuhur with his wife.
"Yes, but how suddenly the atmosphere becomes romantic gini huh?" say Ajeng.
"How romantic?"
"You want a course in English Literary History of the Romantic period?"
Ferdian muttering.
"Inget poet William Wordsworth? Or the Lyriccal Ballads by Samuel Taylor Colleridge who lived in the 18th-19th century?" tanya Ajeng, who even looked like a lecturer who was teaching him.
"I wanted the name, but forgot the content of the verse they made. What's the connection?"
"Romanticism is a school that prioritizes emotional feelings, purity, originality, nature, and what they are. Romanticism was manifested in works of literature, art, and poetry. Wordsworth who lived in the countryside made more poetry related to nature or his feelings about nature. So in my opinion, loving the atmosphere given by nature is being a romantic person," said Ajeng explained the lesson he liked the most.
"So that's why you think rain is romantic?"
Ajeng.
"If there's a rainstorm with a storm, would you say romantic?"
"No!"
"It's not romantic! Should be consistent, want rain how also called romantic, because both come from nature. You are not faithful to rain!"
"Yes, I'm loyal to you!" said Ajeng sauntered away from her husband and sat on the sofa facing the lake.
Ferdian chuckled at Ajeng's expressionless speech.
The man then approached and sat down on his knees in front of his wife. He held both hands.
"If I'm romantic?" tanya Ferdian looked into Ajeng's eyes.
"No," answered the brief.
"And I too am purely of nature" Ferdian said.
"Bomb of nature?!" ajeng replied, both of them laughing.
"Yes, I'm a zombie looking for love!"
Both laughing.
Ferdian sat on the other sofa, hinting to Ajeng to sit on his lap while looking at the scenery outside. Ajeng moved to follow her and sat clinging to her husband's body. She leaned her body on her husband. Ferdian's hands hugged from behind Ajeng's body, then pressed against his wife's pregnant belly, rubbing her gently.
"I will always remember the moment with us. From the beginning we met that night at the moment of impromptu engagement, until forever with you!" said Ajeng lirih.
"I always remember the first time I saw you and tried to get your attention!"
"When did you first see me?" tanya Ajeng looked at her husband.
"Back time, haha!"
"Yes I know too!" She patted her husband's thigh.
"I mean when I ospek, the first time I saw you there. I, who was standing among the ranks of the freshmen, suddenly you passed by and walked in front of my line. Though I'm behind you, but my eyes are really great to be able to catch the beautiful face of the new lecturer who passed by it. Haha," Ferdian recalled the first time he saw Ajeng on campus.
"Is she?"
"Yes, I've been after you ever since!"
"Can't you?" tanya Ajeng could not believe it.
"I don't know, just physically you are my ideal type of woman. That's why when you teach class, I'm not playing."
"Well, do you often pretend to be absent?" guess Ajeng.
"Yes, haha! It was intentional to attract your attention," exclaimed Ferdian cheerfully.
"Basic turns out mode!" said Ajeng patting Ferdian's thigh.
"Darling no, if your soul mate was not me?" ask Ajeng.
"No! I will definitely refuse!"
"Ah, I used to say it was forced too because my father was sick! That's because I'm the candidate!"
"Hehehe. I've loved you since I went to college!"
"That is the name of a soul mate in the hands of God, meet unexpectedly!" said Ajeng leaned his body back on her husband's body.
"Yes, right!"
"You said there were two candidates? Me and the others. That woman you know?" tanya Ajeng was curious.
"Know little anyway, have met several times as well but in time I was Junior High." replied Ferdian.
"Beautiful? Pinter?"
"Hmm..the power is no less beautiful and cool as you. Mommy said she just got home from study in London. Oiya, she's a grown-up too!" Ferdian.
"Why not choose him?"
"Say I've had a crush on you, Sayaaang!" Ferdian tightened the grip on his wife's body.
Ajeng smiled blushingly at her husband's answer.
The rain outside had already started to stop. The sun has again dared to show its light even if only behind the clouds.

Andre looked at the sky from his apartment window. He himself was laying his body on the bed. The new class will begin next month. He had already agreed to teach S2 students at his campus. Surely a new challenge will begin soon, he just hopes there are no significant obstacles in his school year this time, although certainly his own obstacles to teaching higher S2 students.
The bright-skinned man with the muscular muscles in his arms reopened the curriculum that would become his teaching benchmark in his new academic year. He is optimistic he can do the job this time. Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello?" sapana.
"Hello? Is this right with Andre?" ask for a voice on the phone, a male voice.
"Yes my own. Who is this with?"
"It's me, Gerry!"
Andre's eyes grew.
"Oy Ger! How are you?"
"Gue's good, Dre! Still in Bandung, right?"
"Still, still! Where are you, Ger?"
"Gue also happens to be in Bandung again, the meeting yuk Dre!" answer Gerry.
"Come, come! When and where?"
"Morning can you, Dre? I have to go back to Singapore!" bargain Gerry.
"Okay, I'm empty tomorrow!" answer Andre.
"Sipp, tomorrow huh? Whatsapp numbers are just as rich as this number?"
"Just the same!"
"Yes, will you share the location of the meeting?"
"Ready, ready!"
"Thanks to Dre! See you tomorrow!"
Somehow Andre felt very enthusiastic to meet Gerry. Is it because Gerry is a friend and competitor at the time of High School? Both are equally popular, loved by many women, achievers, and of course both equally like the same person, namely Nava.
Instantly appears a chat whatsapp. It was from Gerry. He shared the location where they would meet. A coffee cafe is located in the city center, close to the school they used to be.
Next day.
Andre parked his car in the cafe parking lot. The atmosphere of the coffee shop was not too crowded that morning. Gerry, who had arrived there first, waved his hand. The oriental-faced man then stood up to greet his best friend.
"Woy, healthy Lo?" gerry hugged Andre.
"Well, how are you, Ger?" asked Andre to look at the figure of Gerry in front of him who increasingly looks cool.
"It's success that way!"
"Alhamdulillah, but be busy begging for mercy!" gerry chuckled.
Andre sat down in front of Gerry. Then Gerry told him to order a menu of dishes to be enjoyed.
"Lo's busy, Dre?"
"Yes, I'm more fun than business, although my stepfather also always encouraged me to jump into his business!"
"Haha, more about the bladder?"
"Yes, my passion is in teaching!"
"No candidate for Dre yet?" ask Gerry without further ado.
"Not yet, it's hard to find candidates! Haha! Are you there yourself, right?" Andre asked back.
"There it is, doain! I hope he wants to be with me!" gerry replied, making Andre curious about his best friend's future wife.
"You know dong, who is it?"
"Let's tell you if it's accepted, haha!"
Gerry seemed to be busy with his phone. It was as if there was something he had to do at the time. His face looked a little anxious.
"Dre, I'm out for a second, okay? Call someone!" gerry walked out of his seat.
Andre just nodded, while enjoying his ordered coffee.
"Va, where are you?" ask Gerry on the phone,.
"I'm in Jakarta, Ger! So sorry!" said the woman was lethargic.
"Geez!"
"Sorry so much Ger! You see, there's a promoter asking me to fill out today's show, I can't refuse!" lang Nava's.
"Yes!"
"Greet Andre yes, but don't tell me!" nava kaku.
"Continue saying from whom? From the shop mom?!" ketus Gerry's.
"Just don't tell me from me!" sergeant Nava.
"Yes, I told you!"
"Thank you Ger, bye!"
Gerry patted his own eel. Andre who was watching him from afar, looked astonished. What the hell is going on?
Gerry came back and sat in his chair. Andre looked at him in wonder.
"Why Ger? Worrying work?" ask Andre.
"No! Sorry yes!"
Gerry sipped the coffee order that has been served since.
"Dre, there's a greeting from someone!" gerry was not soft.
"Greetings? From whom?" asked Andre curiously.
"From someone, don't want to mention his name!"
Andre chuckles.
"Secret admirer (secret admirer) is that?"
"Haha, that's kind of it!" gerry chuckled as well.
"Ger, can I ask you something?"
"Ask what?"
"Are you still in touch with Nava?" ask Andre without further ado.
The narrow-eyed and broad-legged man looked tense and swallowed his saliva.
"Why ask Nava with me?"
"Hmm. I just asked, as long as I broke up contact with Nava, it's just you who deket same him, besides Shera of course," said Andre.
Gerry seemed to mutter for a moment.
"Gue had indeed contacted him. But if we mean status, we don't exist at all! Okay, I'm honest I'm perfect in fact my feelings are the same he, But he's never harried, even a few times I tried again, the results are the same. After that I gave up, I went to Singapore one of them was to be able to move on from him," explained Gerry made Andre quite surprised.
"And is that feeling still there for Nava, Ger?"
Gerry sighed.
"Gue's not sure, Dre! I thought being able to move on from him, it was still difficult!" gerry looked down.
Andre leaned his body on the back of the chair. Knowing that his best friend still harbored the same feeling, it seemed like Andre would be hard to imagine. Moreover, linking it with the question earlier about the future wife. It seems Gerry has not been desperate to catch up to Nava and could be a few steps ahead of him, considering himself has not met the woman at all.
Andre nodded just hearing Gerry's real answer scratching his heart.
"What about you, Dre?" ask Gerry this time.
"Huh?"
"What feeling do you have for Nava is there, or has it been lost while staying away from her?"
Andre chuckled. I think he wants to avoid that question.
"I'm not sure either, Ger! I can only answer that she's in front of me, so I can make sure."
Gerry smiled, looking a little strange.
"Navas, navas! For 7 years now why are we so busy with him?" gerry said stirring his drink.
Andre just laughed. It is true that Gerry said it, as if no other woman could approach the feelings of the two men.

Ferdian invites Ajeng to have breakfast outside, although still in the lodging area. They sat in a triangular saung surrounded by small clear trenches. After enjoying breakfast, the two took a walk around the inn area which turned out to be quite spacious. While enjoying the cool morning atmosphere, the two walked casually to see the scenery.
"The pregnant mother must be many ways, so that later the birth process will be smooth" said Ajeng who looks beautiful with a vintage flower motif dress. He was wearing relaxed flip-flops.
"Any foot? On a motorcycle?" ask Ferdian plain.
"Don't tell me that, Mah! Must be a lot of crawling also so that the fetal position is good and fits the birth canal," explained Ajeng again.
"Ooh.it! Are you afraid?" tanya Ferdian held his wife's hand.
"Fear what?"
"Fear of the lahiran later?"
"No damn! He said it would hurt a lot if the body was normal, only I wanted to enjoy the pain of being that mother. Hopefully his birth is normal!"
"If caesar?"
"It hurts the same!"
Ferdian nodded. Precisely this time he who feels worried, because about three more months maybe Ajeng will give birth. He was only worried about something that would happen to his wife.
"Be careful slippery, honey!" exclaim Ferdian caught the body of his wife who almost slipped because of the condition of the cement road slippery.
"Thank you!" said Ajeng smiling.
"You go slowly, and here...!" Ferdian made the woman embrace in his body. He then put his wife's shoulder back on.
The two walked again while embracing each other, passing through the lodges of the other inn. Whether there are residents or not. A woman in yellow dress was wearing both. He seemed to enjoy the atmosphere, before finally realizing something.
"You're Ferdian, huh?"
