"You're good at cooking it." Gina told Sunday with a fried bakwan in her hand.

"Just bakwan, it's so easy."

"Hey, if I praise you, it doesn't mean you can make me feel inferior for a while."

"Oh yeah? Did I do that?" Sunday giggles in response to Gina's sentence which makes her feel funny because she didn't mean it that way.

"And this too. I have to order a lot from you. I want a dozen chili onions level 2 packs 200 grams."

"If you regularly order with this much, I can make Mr. Gina the agent of Ratu Sambel." Friday's chirps that were holding Cena and kissing her were fat.

"Really, means I can get a special price?"

"Of course."

"Agreed." Gina responded with vigor but the mouthfuls of oil from the bakwan that she ate with her favorite sambal.

"Hey, your cholesterol can go up if you spend it yourself." Faris' new voice joins three women and one daughter in her living room.

But it seems Gina does not feel affected by it and just keeps poking bakwan on sambal while feeling the pungency.

"Where were you from?" Ask Farisb while chocolating bakwan on sambel as well.

"work."

"Where is the boss who's home at that hour."

"I'm the boss, it's up to me to go home at what time." Answer Gina cuek.

"You too. Where's the boss shopping for baby diapers in the department store." Hearing Gina's words, Sunday held back a laugh as Faris stared pouting at her.

While at the convenience store, Gina did meet with Faris who was shopping for baby needs because Sunday did not have time to shop because Cena was feverish after getting immunization yesterday.

"How dare you reply to me." Faris was so upset that Gina turned her sentence around. Gina simply retorted with her lips.

"Sunday, is aunt still frying your tub in the kitchen?" Ask Gina.

"Yes." Yeah."  Answer Sunday.

"Well, I'm so sorry why I brought you here. Are you a grinding machine or what?" Hearing Faris' words, Gina was just a whimper.

"It's perfect, absolutely perfect. You know, Surya is also very good at making bakwan. Sometimes he also adds sausages in it so it feels..." Suddenly Gina stopped her sentence from seeing everyone staring at her with a look that made her feel uncomfortable.

"Nob." Gina continued on with one word she had hung up but to cover up her discomfort, she continued eating bakwan again.

Everyone including Sunday who had been silent then realized that they should not behave so to Gina who was talking about Surya with great enthusiasm. He could see how Gina's twinkle in the eye showed that she still liked Surya.

"I'll get you some more baskets in the kitchen so you don't fight anymore." The sound of Sunday broke the awkwardness between them.

"Bas on you." Faris glared at Gina but was only responded by singing her lips again.

Friday saw that so smile. I feel like they are very childish.

The sky tonight looks bright with sparkling stars. Gina sat in the gazebo next to Faris' house with Sunday beside her.

"If you're both like this, I always feel like I'm betraying Lita." Said Sunday and made Gina smile after drinking warm tea in the cup.

"How is he now? Have a girlfriend again?"

"If you see he hasn't told me, it's a sign that he hasn't gotten a replacement for the girlfriend you slammed at the time." Sunday chuckled. Gina too.

"Sunday, aren't you tired of being a housewife?" Tanya Gina stared into the Sunday house where there was Friday sleeping Cena. While after eating the bakwan earlier, Faris then watched the ball game on TV.

"Sometimes. Sometimes I get bored and miss working again." Answer Sunday while smiling at Gina.

"I also sometimes envy you and Lita who became career women. But then I thought, you can't stop working because you're the owner of R-Company. If you stop working, then who will manage your company? And also Lita, she's the first child with younger siblings who are still in school and mothers who often go in and out of the hospital. If he doesn't work, how can he afford his mother's treatment? As for me, if I wasn't the one taking care of Cena and Faris who didn't even like other people's cooking then who would take care of them." Obviously Sunday.

"So I think this is my career. I can't make a career in the office but I can start my career with the happiness of my family. I grew up in a broken home. I used to dream of a happy family so this is when I would create my own happy family. And, most importantly, why do I have to work? My husband is rich, he can really sustain my well-off life." Sunday laughed after that sentence. Gina smiled wryly hearing her words.

"If you say you envy me, I envy you. Because you're Faris' wife." Sunday's heart pinched hearing that. There was a sense of unease that he had not felt for a long time. It has been a long time since seeing Gina and Surya look harmonious in their marriage. Suddenly there was worry in the heart of Sunday.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Gina felt Sunday staring at her sharply.

"That doesn't mean I still like Faris. I 100% have moved on from him. Don't worry about anything. In my eyes now Faris was just a married man with slightly raised cheeks like a bakwan. He's not my type anymore." Gina was as if she could read Sunday's mind.

"That's a sign she's living her household life well. A man who became a little fat signifies now that he is more managed."

"You're right. It seems so." Gina nodded slowly as if saying that to herself.

"Maybe it was also what caused Surya to choose to leave. Not hold on to me. I'm not a good wife. I can't cook. Surya always makes me food. I don't even know how to use a washing machine. Let alone ironing, I simply can't do my homework properly."

"After all, why do you have to do all that? You got a housekeeper who can do it all." Sunday embraces Gina's shoulders.

"The perfect woman is not one who can do good housework or motherhood, even the wife who makes her husband can never turn away from her. But perfect women are those who always think positively about themselves. How can others accept us if we ourselves cannot even accept ourselves for who we are." The Sunday sentence was like a fresh breeze that made Gina's heart feel cool.

"But that doesn't mean we don't have to try our best for ourselves and others." Sunday added as Gina now changed her sitting position while leaning her head on her shoulders. Sunday smiled to find that Gina's habits towards him had not changed.

"I finally know why you're the perfect woman for Faris. You are good and always think positive. It's so different with me. Faris was meticulous when she chose you first, not me. I desperately wanted to get it." This time there was no jealousy in Sunday for him. Gina's sincere tone even makes Sunday feel sorry because many people think Gina's life is perfect, with a beautiful face, a beautiful body and abundant wealth, it turns out that he has not had the happiness of it all.

"And also Surya, I even begged him to stay but in the end he still wanted to leave. I feel like there is no good in me. The men I like keep avoiding me." Gina took a heavy breath.

"I thought maybe this was my karma. I used to break the hearts of men I dated for reasons I always made up when I was bored with them." Sunday chuckled softly at what Gina was thinking.

"You know, there's always a train at the station. If you miss one of the trains, you can still wait for the next train to come that will take you to the destination. So, just wait. It's just a matter of time." Gina looked at Sunday who was smiling at her and then returned her smile as well.

🌸🌸🌸

Gina opened the door of her house and walked in. The big house looked deserted when it was this night. But as he approached the TV room, he heard voices. It must be the sound of the TV on. And right, Mr. Rangga and Bu Marina are sitting watching a reality show.

"Night Pa... Ma'am..." Sapa Gina then walked again towards the stairs even though Papa and Mama had not had time to reply.

Both of her parents just stared at Gina who was leaving them.

"I can't stand him anymore." Said Bu Marina.

"What can my mom do?"

"How could Papa ask me that. Papa should be responsible. Papa made Gina that way."

"What's? Because I married him to Surya?"

"Yes, of course. After Gina falls in love with him, she leaves. It was clearly Papa's fault."

"How do I know it's gonna be like that eventually. I think Surya really doesn't have a girlfriend."

"Papa could have just believed. Surya people trust Papa then arbitrarily Papa immediately play recruit to be a son-in-law without knowing how his personal life used to be."

"She's been with me for almost 18 hours so I don't think she's had time to date either."

"Ahh, Papa this is why so innocent. Kids today have many ways to date. Does Papa not know that?" Omel Bu Marina's. Mr. Rangga was just stunned to realize the stupidity that had been done.

"At least Gina can escape her blind love for Faris, can't she?"

"Yes, but the proof is now once again he was heartbroken by Papa's 'emissary. Instead of being saved, even Gina became like that."

"Then how else do I have to be?"

"Eitherway. Papa must be responsible." Bu Marina ketus.

"Alright, let's set up a blind date for Gina."

"Yesterday Papa said it was inefficient and wanted Gina to do whatever she wanted to do first. How is this Papa? Why become a plan."

"I think it's like that. He's still hurt, so I think he should be able to sort out his feelings before someone else comes along."

"Papa knows, how our daughter is. He can move from one heart to another very quickly. From being very fond of Faris, Gina could very quickly feel very heartbroken when Surya left her. It showed that she already really liked Surya."

"Then Mama wants Gina to be an adventurer of love, right?"

"Yes it's not like that. This time let's find him the men he's worth for a blind date. Then let him choose for himself which man suits him." Ms. Marina explained excitedly.

"Hopefully Gina agreed to it." Replied Mr. Rangga relaxed as usual.

"If he doesn't agree, then I'll make him want to." Bu Marina smiled meaningfully.

Elsewhere, Surya turned on the stove and placed a pot of water on it. Put cabbage vegetables then after cooking he drain and change to put the sprouts into it but then turn off the stove fire. To make a mature taoge it not only needs to brew it, not boil it like other vegetables. On the other side of his hand he spooned a peanut butter from a box into a bowl. Then pour it with hot water from the dispenser and stir it until mixed evenly into a sauce.

Surya spooned the rice into a dish, put the sprouts and cabbage on it which he then dabbled with peanut sauce. He also put a clap egg on it and a garlic cracker in place of rempeyek. Surya then smiled satisfied to see the menu on his plate. Spooning and putting into the mouth. His tongue immediately felt delicious. He looked out the window of his new home from the dining table. Enjoy dinner with wisdom accompanied by Stand by Me from Oasis.

In his new home that has been filled with furniture, Surya can hear the animals of the night to put each other to make sounds that he often miss when he was in the city. Because it is close to the garden and rice fields, night sweats are increasingly felt in his house.

"You just ate?" Ask her mother who just came out of her room.

"Yes ma'am, I'm hungry." Answer Surya.

"Why not wake me up? I can cook for you."

"No ma'am, there's still pecel seasoning. I'm gonna eat this." Surya smiled at his mother.

Maryam then sat down on the other chair in the dining room. Staring at Surya with a full view of the question.

"So, is it true everything you said to Mom? You're not lying?" Surya nodded.

"That's not what you really are, son. I don't believe."

"I'm sorry, Mom." Surya convinced his mother.

"Nduk Gina is beautiful and kind, why did you just leave her? Is the love between you really gone?"

"True, our love has been lost, ma'am." Surya repeated the reason.

After a month, Surya told his parents that he and Gina had divorced. Surya gives a reason that he no longer loves Gina. And for the sake of not making them tormented each other so that Surya makes it as if he was being sued for divorce by his ex-wife.

"Mom doesn't spare your work in your wife's company, but I feel you're young, just married a few months, there are still many differences that will eventually become common. Why make such a tough decision?"

"But it will be even harder if we live together without love. Our marriage was in a hurry because we were too quick to think that our closeness was based on a sense of love. It was just a momentary feeling."

"I see you're fine every time you're together."

"We're a good showman, ma'am. But for a long time we felt guilty to all of you for having to keep lying."

"Mom knows you very well, Sur. You can't lie to Mom. Say, what's the matter exactly?" Surya's mother urged him because she felt that there was something Surya was covering up at this time.
