Erland is planning to pick up Adriana when she gets home from work. But because suddenly there was a traffic jam made him a little late to where Adriana worked. The fried chicken shop was closed, Erland re-applied his car. At the end of the road he saw a girl walking alone in the middle of the night.
Erland stepped on the gas pedal of his car even deeper so that it could be faster to get near his lover. The car stopped right next to Adriana who was walking. The girl immediately stopped her footsteps and turned her head towards the car.
"Sister Erland"
Erland got out of her car and half ran to get to her boyfriend. "Honey, what are you doing? Why walk alone?"
Adriana smiled, she rushed into Erland's arms without saying anything. Right now he just needs a soothing hug. In a time when his feelings and thoughts were completely muddled. Erland, who was hugged, was confused by herself. Meksi so, she still returned the embrace of her lover and tried to provide warmth and comfort for Adriana.
A few minutes Adriana just kept quiet and hugged Erland. Then she broke her embrace, looking at her lover's face with her smile. "You came to pick me up?"
"Yes, but because there's a traffic jam, it's too late for me to come get you"
"No papa, now let's go home"
Erland nodded, she brought Adrian down from the sidewalk. Open the car door for her boyfriend. Then he also immediately got into the car and drove it in the middle of the night which was still quite crowded with several vehicles.
"I want to eat first, hungry"
Erland looked over at a glance, then she nodded. "Where do you eat?"
Adriana thought a little with the index finger she tapped on her chin. This expression made Erland tremble. "This hour where the food is still open"
Erland looked at the watch in her hand. "Still at 10 p.m., there should still be one open. Let's just find it"
Adriana nodded, she leaned her head on the shoulder of Erland who was holding the wheel. "I'm tired and tired today"
Tired and tired of the situation.
Until now, Adriana is still a girl who is closed about her feelings. Even if it was Erland, her lover. Adriana still wants to keep her heart from being too dependent on others. Because lastly she depended on her own mother, she had to accept the great disappointment of her life.
"Stop Sister, how do we eat here?"
Erland stopped her car right next to the roadside. A simple fried rice shop on the side of the road. "Related here? Don't you want to find somewhere else?"
Adriana understood the meaning of Erland's gaze on her. She who used to be a spoiled girl from quite a wealthy family. To eat on the side of the road, he hardly ever. But now, that spoiled figure had turned into an independent girl who could do everything by herself.
"Why Brother? I'm not the old Adriana. I can eat here, any kind of roadside food is better than a star-rated restaurant meal. Which I'm rasain si so"
Erland smiled, she stroked Adriana's head gently. Feeling proud at this girl's change that was really so drastic. From the girl who was afraid of splashing cooking oil, until she worked in a fried chicken shop and used to face cooking oil in a large cauldron. No more fear of hot oil. Even his hands already had some scars from splashing hot oil while working or even cooking at home.
"Yaudah, let's eat here"
Erland got out of the car following Adriana. They went into the fried rice shop. Ordering two fried rice products to the seller. Then wait at the table and the simple chairs that are there. Adriana stared at the bright night sky with some stars and moonlight that illuminated the earth at night.
"The stars are beautiful, Brother"
"Yes pretty" Erland said that while looking at Adriana's face. Not looking at the object that his lover meant.
"Please the fried rice"
The arrival of the fried rice seller made both of them realize and immediately turned their gazes. Erland scratched at her non-itchy nape, her ears already reddened from feeling embarrassed.
"Ahh, thank you sir"
"Yes Neng, enjoy"
After the fried rice seller left, Adriana chuckled to herself to see Erland who was mistaken for the fried rice seller who interrupted her plan.
"Have eaten first Brother, then continue again. Haha"
Adriana even laughed funny looking at Erland's face. This girl is really different. At times most girls will feel embarrassed when almost caught someone when going to kiss. But, this time Adriana even looks ordinary. He looks relaxed eating his order fried rice. It made Erland shake his head. His girlfriend is unique.
Finish with their dinner at the fried rice shop. Erland immediately drove Adriana home. The day was getting late, making both of them have to go home soon. The car was parked in front of Adriana's yard.
"It's over, you go in and rest"
Adriana nodded, she removed the seat belt on her body. Staring fixedly at Erland, then with a quick movement Adriana dipped the cheek of the man.
"Good night, dear"
Adriana immediately went down and ran into her house. She was ashamed to have done that. But he did it because he wanted to.
Erland was still silent in her car, touching her cheek that Adriana had just kissed. Then he smiled. "Based on a bad girl"
Erland drove her car back to the apartment. On the way he kept smiling considering the incident. Her heart is blossoming now.
...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...
Adriana had just finished taking a bath, she was laying her body on the bed. Staring at the ceiling of the room with a bright gaze, penetrating on the incident at the fried chicken shop earlier.
Mama, why did Mama not recognize me anymore. I miss Mama.
A girl who is missing the figure of her mother who has always been a figure she is proud of. The figure that Adriana always follow every order and word. He always believed. Until the incident made Adriana aware, if Mama only used herself to hate Kak Tyas and make Papa also hate her first child.
However, even so he is still a child who misses his mother. He still wants time with his mother. But everything seems impossible. Because since his father's company went bankrupt, his mother immediately left them.
So, all this time that made Mama survive is not me. But treasure and money.
Remembering that made Adriana unable to hold back any more of her sadness. She was crying alone in her room. Cowering over the bed with tears flowing.
I'm tired of God, why does it have to be like this in the end? Why is Mom so happy with me.
She continued to cry until she fell asleep on her own.
