Ivan lazily followed the steps of Arya and Melinda who joined hands to enter the cafe. Roni looked at his boss's face in surprise. Usually Ivan eagerly come to the cafe Abbas, tumben this time his face looks tense.
But upon seeing Rani and Gita nodding respectfully, Ivan again put on his flat face. Roni smiled kindly at the two. He now began to pay attention to the officer named Gita, who he thought was increasingly seen as more sweet.
Not waiting long, various tastes of the archipelago has been brought to the appetites who look at it.
Arya and Melinda seemed to be joyful facing the menu that was presented on the table. The two immediately enjoyed the dish with great excitement.
“Thank you Mr. Ivan, I really like the traditional menu here. Remember with the cuisine of mama in the village,” Melinda said seriously, “As mas Arya told me about this place I was immediately interested. And would definitely recommend this place to my other colleagues.”
Ivan smiled blandly. His gaze repeatedly turned towards the outside of the room. Roni enjoyed the dish with great joy. He hasn't stopped by this cafe in a long time. And his arrival this time had made him even more excited.
“Bos not eat?” Roni asked quietly, seeing that Ivan only smoked his cigarette without touching the dishes available in front of him.
“I have less appetite lately,” hiss slowly.
“Food here is delicious boss. Loss if not spend it.” Roni said seriously. His eyes glanced at the sweet-sour squid and the flour-fried shrimp that were still intact in front of Ivan.
Ivan's gaze stopped at one point. His heart is beating fast. His eyes locked on the figure of a woman holding a baby while joking with two parobaya women.
He pressed his chest. Is he having a health disorder? Why was his heart suddenly beating irregularly. Ivan quickly grabbed the water in front of him and drank it immediately trying to neutralize the pounding of his heart. But his actions did not reduce that debate.
“Back from here we stop by Rendi.” practice Ivan said quietly, but his eyes did not turn to the figure in front of him who had been sitting casually with his entourage.
“Who hurts the boss?” Roni looked at Ivan with a questioning look.
He knew Rendi Ivan's cousin who worked as a heart specialist. The place of practice is not so far from Ivan's office.
“I think my heart is starting to get in trouble.” Ivan pressed his chest which was still beating fast when his gaze saw the figure smiling.
Khaira who came with Babby A, oma Marisa and bu Ila were unaware of the sharp gaze that was looking at her from behind the VIP room. While carrying Babby A whose weight is now increasing Khaira Wara-wiri gave instructions to Rani and Budi to prepare everything regarding appetizers and desserts to be served.
Today he purposely brought oma and her in-laws to celebrate the 81st birthday of oma. His plans for all his brothers and sisters-in-law will follow. Khaira deliberately invited to this cafe so that the family atmosphere was more pronounced. He had reminded Ari cs, that their restaurant cafe will operate only until one noon, the rest he and his extended family will gather and have lunch together.
Meanwhile Arya and her fiance had already finished enjoying their lunch with satisfied faces. Roni stopped her lunch as soon as she saw that the two couples were ready to leave the room.
“Mr Ivan, me and my fiance will be back at the office soon. Thank you for this lunch.” Arya shook Ivan's hand as soon as he got up from the chair.
Ivan nodded his head slowly, until the pair passed from before him. His mind is still out of sync. His desire to get close was very strong. He wanted to see that look up close. For three weeks he tried to get rid of the sad-eyed ayu face, but the shadow did not want to be separated from memory.
“Bos, we go home now?” Roni was astonished to see Ivan who was still fixated with his turbulent thoughts.
Seeing Roni walking without waiting for him, Ivan finally got up from his chair. He stood not far behind Roni who greeted Khaira who was still relaxed carrying Babby A who began to rewwl.
“Good day, mbak Rara,” greet Roni politely. He stood right behind Khaira.
Khaira turned her body. He smiled kindly at Roni's presence. Babby A who was a hen in a sling seemed to chuckle at Roni who tried to invite him to talk.
“Good day to Roni.” Khaira grasped a plump hand by mimicking the sound of a baby greeting Roni.
What's the name of this baby dede?” Roni was so excited to see a plump baby who laughed wide.
“Call aja Babby A om Roni ..” Khaira replied with a funny mimic making Roni's smile expand.
He had thrown away the feeling that had stopped in his heart. He respected the decision of the young woman in front of him. His admiration will last forever without having to involve other feelings in it.
Khaira stopped her saying looking at the flat face that was now looking at her without blinking. He only smiled while nodding his head at the figure who was now standing upright behind Roni.
Roni looked at Khaira confusedly, and immediately looked back. He was surprised to see Ivan standing behind him with a straight look at Khaira and the baby in his arms.
“Bidnarnya Abbas and his baby.” Roni whispered to Ivan who started approaching Khaira and the baby.
Ivan's chest beat stronger as his eyes rolled with Khaira. He was upset when Khaira immediately turned her eyes. His outstretched hand touched the head of the baby who was looking at him with a cute face. Ivan's feelings were shaken.
“Good afternoon sir …. “ Khaira looked back at Ivan at a glance and tried to greet him politely.
“Master Ivan.” Roni answered quickly, seeing Ivan who ignored Khaira's words.
“Eh, papa's son. Here dear …. “ Valdo who focuses on looking at Babby A who is still chattering with the language of the planet does not care about the annoyance of Ivan. Valdo casually embraced his sister-in-law's shoulder.
He doesn't see the situation. As soon as Hasya was told that they would gather at the cafe of the late Abbas's restaurant, from the hospital he went straight to his destination. He had not seen Babby A all day. Valdo can't be far from his little baby.
“I'm sorry, we'll excuse you …. “ Khaira could not resist the steps of Valdo who was impatient because he was hungry. He followed Valdo, who still laid his hands on his shoulders.
“Mas release his hand, ihh!” Khaira brushed off Valdo's fingers that immediately slipped off.
“Sorry.” Valdo smiled faintly.
Valdo's gaze collided with Ivan who looked at him sharply from a distance with a look of annoyance.
“Who is that boy?” Valdo was curious about the figure that now disappeared behind the cafe door.
“Ngakat know too,” replied Khaira relaxed while releasing a sling on Babby A because Valdo immediately grabbed his tiny baby.
“Wah, mom already has a fan. Pantesan does not want to be the same about Denis, this one is younger and cool.” Valdo looked at Khaira with his trademark smile.
“Mas don't have to make a fuss,” Khaira pout.
“If yes, then agree. Your ma'am must be cool if you know ..”
The crackle in his mouth made Valdo stop the temptation on his sister-in-law. Finally the useless talk ended when the group of Ariq, Ali, and Fatih came with their respective families to make the atmosphere of the afternoon so crowded and pleasant for Marisa.
The atmosphere in the car was horror. Roni did not know what caused Ivan's face to look stiff full of anger. While in the cafe, his face was flat and stiff as usual.
“So we stopped by Rendi boss?” Roni tried to remind Ivan when the silence was still going on and Ivan stared into the streets with a reddened face.
“Not necessary,” he added annoyed.
Roni shook her head in the face of her boss's attitude. What happened to his boss's current mood was often fickle.
Meanwhile Ivan felt upset in his heart when he saw an adult man who was embracing Khaira and taking her by the way from before him.
Ivan recalled that when five days ago he brought Arya for the first time to the Abbas cafe, he also saw young men of good manners like Abbas also staring at his widow Abbas meaningfully.
“Basic hypocritical woman,” Inner Ivan irritated restrain emotions. He was sure that Abbas' widow was not as innocent as his face, “It turns out that many men were around. Poor Abbas, so easily forgotten.”
Suddenly Ivan cursed himself, why should he think of a man who had nothing to do with him. And why easily the sad-eyed woman was flipping through and ruining her mood. He shook his head to imagine the poison that Abbas' widow had spread in his blood.
Ivan's frustration that was reduced because he began to try to think with the logic of his common sense was made chaotic again by the act of Roni who set the song, making Ivan's feelings again chaotic.
These eyes are beautiful to see you
This feeling feels your love
This soul shakes your soul
This heart is putting your heart out
And let me be to you
Save a million hopes
I'm on you
This feeling is sincere to you
Will not stop
Until I die

The echoing song made Ivan again swept away in the charm of ayu's face with a smile that has shifted his world. Until finally Roni's car drove them back to the company.
As soon as he reached his room, Ivan immediately threw himself in the seat of his greatness. His mind went back to work. He reflected on his feelings in the past month. Since his meeting with the new woman he knew was the widow of the late Abbas, he began to feel something different.
Is this what you call falling in love? Oh no! There's no way he's in love! Let him not fall in love with Abbas' widow. He should reject this feeling.
“I won't go to Abbas's cafe anymore. The female poison is very powerful. Don't let me be influenced and fall in love with her. There are still better women. She's just a regular girl.” Ivan began to convince himself to forget the sad-eyed figure of ayu from his mind.
