"Anna?" Nisa is shocked to see her employees coming home in wet clothes and hair. "You don't have an umbrella?" his question.
"Ti, no, Aunt." Anna looks clumsy.
"Are you okay?" Nisa felt strange about her attitude.
"What?" asked Anna not to understand. "Eh, yes. I'm fine." he answered nervously. Because his mind is still focused on Kiandra. Anna was afraid, just in case the man caught up with her.
The 45-year-old woman walked over. He looked carefully at Anna's face that was slightly wet from the rain. It made Anna growled and bowed deeply.
"Anna" Nisa called out.
Anna looked up, now their distance was close and Nisa was still observing.
Anna's mind was already leading to a no-no.
Aunt Nisa why? is there something strange about my face?
inner worried.
But, Nisa's sudden look shone, leaving Anna stunned.
"You're wearing lipstick?" he asked with great joy.
Anna's reflexes wiped her lips many times with the back of her hand.
"Why is it removed?" Nisa.
"Ah, anu.me..."
"When you look beautiful in that color." Nisa continued.
Anna was embarrassed.
"From tomorrow on lipstick again?" pinta his boss is excited.
Anna's eyes widened.
"Customers will also be happy and increase if the seller is beautiful." He looks very enthusiastic.
"But I..."
"Yes, how's the examination?" not heeding Anna's barely audible words, Nisa asked another thing.
Anna was confused at first. But he remembered that he had permission to leave on the grounds of treatment.
"The doctor said.just plain tiredness." he lied.
"You take three days off." Nisa suggested. "Use that time to refresh yourself. It's not good if you keep quiet in the room."
"No aunt, I just need to sleep." Anna smiled convincingly.
Nisa sighed. "Yes, the one who understands the most about your condition is yourself. But, never force yourself, if you are already incapable."
"Yes, Aunt." Anna smiled back.
"Well to shower, eat and rest. No need to help close the shop, huh?" Nisa pats Anna's shoulder concerned.
The woman always felt pity, if she looked at Anna whose eyes were always filled with worry.
"Thank you Auntie." Anna slightly leaned over.
"Yes, you're welcome." Nisa smiled as she looked at Anna who was climbing the stairs towards the second floor.
.
Anna hurried to look at the window.
The rain has turned into a drizzle. In the thick of the night that was only illuminated by the city lights, Anna no longer saw Kiandra's car parked in the shophouse yard.
"Thank God." he heaved a sigh of relief, then leaned against the wall and sagged sitting on the floor.
Ignoring her wet hair and clothes from the rain. Anna even daydreamed about the incident earlier.
She felt her cold lips and was no longer in color. Anna recalled how the eyes and expression of the smashing-haired man who liked it by himself was.
"Why does he keep approaching me...?" ask Anna alone.
He looked at the bedroom which was actually more suitable called a warehouse, with a thin sheet of foam mattress in the middle of the room.
Anna gulped as she recalled her heart that had almost stopped beating, as Kiandra moved forward and unexpectedly applied lisptic on her lips.
So close they were then, that Anna could smell the bergamout scent mixed with amber and musk filling her sense of smell.
"Marthadinatas...Sanjaya. Marthadinata.." Anna repeated as she recounted the memories of her past that she had so far left behind.
"Hello, how's the pretty boy doing?" the tall figure in the suit smiled and reached out to him.
"I deserve to feel familiar, and especially those eyes..." Anna gasped.
Anna's memory is thrown into the past, where she once met the figure. A figure similar to Kiandra, who has a charming smile and a pair of eyes that are just as beautiful as the narcissist.
The man she secretly admired and became her first love as a child.
"Is he his son?" Anna asked alone.
Suddenly he remembered how Kiandra had advised him about dying.
"Never think death is the solution."
The flat-robed man looked at him.
"You should be thankful that you are still alive."
Anna bent both knees, then hugged herself.
"Because as long as you're alive, no matter how many times you make a mistake, you can still fix it."
"Can I fix everything...?" he muttered.
The presence of Kiandra was like a color he had almost forgotten in his now gray life.
Trying to ignore. However, the man's silliness and attention was too distracting.
"Delana." call another man.
Suddenly Anna screeched and covered her face.
"What did I just think?" Anna looks angry. But both of his eyes brushed ready to shed tears.
"He's a Marthadinata. And vou? who're you?" Anna spoke as if someone else was there, "you're just a stupid Anna! Anna has nothing! the poor and have no self-respect!"
Anna started crying. "Never hope, for you have nothing you can hope for."
Anna's tears are flowing. He dropped to the floor and slept curled up covering his grief-stricken face.
I'm just trash to everyone.
.
"That's it!" Alexa put the heineken bottle on the table hard. "We told you, forget the woman." she continued.
Kiandra, who was leaning on a chair with a cigarette tucked between her fingers, did not respond.
"You want to tell me how it doesn't work, she's already in love." Ethan sitting next to him chimed in.
Kiandra leaned towards the glasses guy.
"Why?" ask Ethan to pretend to be stupid.
Knowing Kiandra couldn't answer, she laughed.
Upset, Kiandra sucks a cigarette in, then blows her smoke toward Ethan.
Instantly the man who works as a pediatrician was coughing while shaking hands.
"Wrt*ng!" maki Ethan while moving.
Kiandra and Roy. Alexa keeps a sour face.
"What am I wrong? goddamnit!" ethan is now sitting next to Alexa.
"Much." replied Kiandra from across the table.
"Heeleeh.., say sensi." said Ethan annoyed, making his other partner amused.
This time Kiandra did not care, and preferred to drink her equil.
"Heh, Kian's not in love." Roy mediates. "He just doesn't want his pride to fall because he can't conquer one woman."
"You can say that because you didn't see what happened this afternoon." Ethan refutes.
"Last noon?" roy and Alexa almost simultaneously.
"Hey, hey, hey.." Kiandra warned.
"I'm already a driver. Until there it is still a mosquito repellent. Here he spouts me with nicotine." Ethan wasn't playing. Men of Tiong Hoa descent is indeed the most anti with cigarettes.
"Who's the mosquito repellent?" Kiandra doesn't accept. "You're the one who's chatting familiarly with her."
"Jealous to say." Ethan folded both hands and smiled cynically.
"Why should I be jealous, demon?" Kiandra is getting out of hand.
"You ask me? I asked who?" don't want to lose Ethan.
For the umpteenth time, the two people who were no longer teenagers were involved in a dispute.
"Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happy now...
Sometimes, all I think about is you

Not divorced, Roy even coolly imitated the song Heat Waves from Glass Animal which is now being remixed by a DJ at his Club, which tonight was very crowded by various excitement.
At home there was my crazy husband. Here are my crazy friends Alexa said in her heart, then gulped her heineken straight from the bottle.
