...Unreturned love...
Towards that gray night, there was a gurgling of rain falling on the ground. Not too heavy nor small, the sound of the rain that night sounded like music. It was as if Tasia had made it in a cradle. So the girl fell asleep in her mother's bedroom bed, after they had a long conversation that night, and they began to show the familiarity of Mother and child.
After so long since the divorce, Tasia's attitude to her mother was a little different, she became more shy and did not talk much.
But that day after her sister's wedding, for the first time Tasia showed a sweet and potent attitude towards her own mother.
Tasia's mother stared at her youngest daughter for a long time, stroking her long hair, and then wrapped her body in a thick blanket. Mom Tasia soon went to sleep after her daughter.

The next morning Tasia was preparing to leave for the regular market to sell her merchandise.
When he wanted to open the front door, Tasia was shocked because someone was already standing at the door of her house.
"Sorry who are you?!"tasia asked a woman in her 35s with a big bag.
"For mbak, is this the residence of Ms Sulastri's house?" ask her back.
"Well, that's my mother's name, so who are you?" ask again. Then the woman thrust her hand to introduce herself to Tasia.
"I am Irna, mbak. I was told by Bu Maya to be a housekeeper at Bu Sulastri's house" he explained.

"May it be for this day and the next, I call you Rizal" he said again, with a red face. Lia ventured to express her heart again after the many times she tried.
Then Lia held tightly to Rizal's hand and lowered her face.
"I know, because of the situation with the problem of work and also your college that has not been completed, you are still not ready to find a partner in life." said Lia.
"But after you've solved all your problems, will you consider it again? to accept me?" lia said, with a hopeful look.

"Lia.hmm forgive brother so-so-about it.." replied Rizal stunned, by hearing Lia's words just now.
"Sister can't be sure yet." said Rizal confused about what he wanted to talk about.
"Sister can't give you any answers yet!" said Rizal softly.
