"What?" axel jolt was surprised after hearing what was asked by Sarah.
"Yes, Bang. Brother is not wrong, I asked you to be my husband after I officially divorced later. Hows it? Brother agrees? so you can repay your heartache to your brother's wife too, right?" sarah was calm.
Axel was still adjusting his breathing while thinking. "Former wife."
"What Bang?"
"Jeni is no longer my wife, she's already my talak. We just married Siri first, so there is no need to bother taking care of divorce papers to the court," Axel said slowly.
Sarah nodded her head in understanding, and again asked Axel's answer that she did not know if she had changed her name, so Sarah knew his name was still Adam.
"So how, brother? Can you fulfill Sarah's request?"
"So, you're still traumatized by a loveless marriage. Brother is just afraid that later it will repeat like the past Brother and Jeni." Axel sighed softly, remembering the betrayal he had recently received.
Sarah thought for a moment. "There is no need to rush, is there still a period of Iddah that we can later use for the period of exploration for example?"
"You mean Neng Sarah?"
"Yes, what if instead of marriage we have to try to live first. Who knows if apparently we are the ones who are paired," said Sarah joking.
Axel smiled slightly but somehow his head nodded in agreement.

~LOVE ON A PLATE OF FRIED RICE~
Month after month passed, the divorce process between Sarah and Bima went smoothly without any significant obstacles. Bima himself passed cooperatively and chose to approve all Sarah's requests. After the hammer on tap the sign of the end of their relationship, Bima moved away and never again showed her face in front of Sarah and her family.
"Bang, one fried rice ya." Sarah spoke to one of the employees at Axel's 17th branch of fried rice.
I don't know since when but the famous delicious fried rice branch is now mushrooming and more and more fans.
"Ready, Sister Sarah." The employee thumbs up on Sarah, whom he already knows as his boss's best friend.
Sarah entered a wider store than the other Axel branch, because the store was also in use Axel as his private home on the second floor.
"Neng, fried rice again?" sapa Axel who looks busy in front of his laptop. Minus glasses that he wore increasingly increase the level of good looks on his plain face.
"Yes, Bang. Sarah said that the fried rice made Abang nibil, and would not be bosen let in eat every day as well," Sarah said while sitting in a chair opposite Axel.
Until now, Sarah still does not know that Axel is the son of his uncle, because of the busy parents and family of his own uncle to forget to tell Sarah about it. Unlike Axel who already knows all the ins and outs of his family in the story by Sonia, his mother.
"Wiih, now it's great, brother. Udah can play own laptop, so to inget first do not laptop, live hape aja Abang can not," kekeh Sarah while enjoying the fried rice.
Axel closed his laptop and opened the glasses that had been perched on his nose.
"Well, his name is learning Neng. If you're serious, you can do it slowly, right?"
Sarah nodded and finished the rest of her fried rice quickly.
"Where? is your Iddah time over?" no wind, no rain, suddenly Axel asked Sarah the sensitive thing.
"Udah, it's been a long time Bang. There are times past two months," said Sarah lightly, did not mind Axel's question at all.
"Udah, Mr boss! The brush! Specially? rather than every day crashing while looking at his picture mbak Sarah," kekeh one of Axel's male employees who was passing by while lifting the gallon to the back of the shop.
"What the hell, Sat. You, janga make slander not clear." Axel pointed his fist at the employee named Satrio.
"Yes rather than just taking pictures of her every mallem, boss. Will lighten all of you in the hallin keep going to every mallem, yes no Sister Sarah?" exclaimed Satrio again, still not satisfied to judge his boss who is said to be so close to him.
"Sat! diem isn't? I told you to sleep outside of you!" axel jolts at Satrio who immediately hides behind the kitchen wall.
Sarah laughed at that and quickly wiped her lips that were covered in fried rice oil.
"Bang, Sarah said yes. Want to go to Dady's office because," said Sarah as she moved from her seat after tucking a piece of red money under her dinner plate earlier, because Axel would never receive money from her if she wanted to pay.
"You don't want antherin, Neng?" axel exclaimed suddenly which he also did not realize why his body and brain were no longer his own by acting arbitrarily like before.
"Byeah," Sarah answered with a sigh, while Axel who looked down actually hid his shy red face.
Sarah walks ahead of Axel to the parking lot, where her favorite motorbike is usually located.
"Boss! buruan, why is it still here?" said Satrio who turned out to have eavesdropped on their conversation from behind the kitchen wall.
Axel who realized immediately after Sarah without having time to scold the ignorant employee again.
"Hopefully this way Mr. Boss does not worry anymore every night looking at his picture Sister Sarah. Forward the Boss, unyielding. Satrio escorted until halal," murmured Satrio while watching the departure of his Boss and Sarah who appeared to be piggybacking on a butut motorcycle.
"Neng Sarah, I want to say thank you once again yes," Axel said opening the conversation on the motorcycle as the red light greeted.
"Thank you for what, Bang?" sarah asked, narrowing her eyes because the sun was too hot.
"Thank you for helping me all this time to manage my business until it becomes like now. Without the help of Neng Sarah, I think I'm definitely still selling in a small wagon on the grave deck there," Axel chuckles at the beginning of their encounter.
Sarah nodded while showing off her sweet smile.
The traffic light turned green, Axel was again about to press his motorbike but a motorbike driven by a bad boy even overtakes and almost grazes them. Fortunately Axel had braked suddenly but made Sarah become pushed forward until accidentally hugged him.
"Eh, ma-sorry Bang. Not intentionally," Sarah's great-granddaughter with a reddened face held in shame and also the pounding of her chest that suddenly became unreasonable.
Similarly, Axel whose face is no less red and debaran as strong as Sarah.
'duh, why did you hug him for a second?' inner Axel while holding a smile. The honking sound of the vehicle behind them began to be noisy, making Axel quickly pull the motor gas again.
But they have not had time to return to do the motorbike a car looks memepet their motorbike until it is cornered to the sidewalk of the road. And even more surprising is someone who was in the car.
"Who, Bang?" sarah asked in confusion because the position of the car was actually clamping their motorbike until it could not move from the edge of the road sidewalk.
Axel shook his head because he also did not know whose car was holding the blind motorbike.
The car's glass came down, revealing Jeni's cynical grinning face to them.
"Well, whoa, whoa. The actor shouted the actor turned out."
