Daffin's grief was overflowing as his memory recounted a moment with Amber, moments after news of the woman he loved's engagement to the Ikram blew to his ears.
"Amber, please. Why her? If the man wasn't Ikram, I could still take it" Daffin said as he met Amber at the time.
"What if it's a kram?"
"Amber, Kinanti likes the same Ikram since High School. And you know about it! When you could betray bestie yourself?"
"Braying? Wh who? me? Hello. uh...? It's my fault, if I like the same I?"
"The camera? Like you?" Daffin.
Pshaw! Daffin may be pe'ak guy, rada sableng. But that doesn't mean Daffin doesn't have sensitivity. Quietly, Daffin often idly observes Kinanti's interaction with the Kream since High School. Ever since he accidentally picked up a poem that the girl wrote for Ikram. Daffin can also see clearly the difference in the look of the eyes when the man was staring at Kinanti or Amber. And the kiss of Ikram to Kinanti he saw in the villa further proved it. Even during the event, Daffin often caught Kinanti and Ikram stealing each other's eyes. Ikram and Amber did look close throughout the reunion event. However, the gesture shown by Ikram did not seem like a man who was harboring special feelings for Amber. Unlike the moments of the Kram being around Kinanti. The way he looked, greeted, offered food and drink, and also his behavior when sharing stories and laughter while continuing to gaze his admiration at Kinanti, was clearly like a man in love.
"Amber. I tell you, Ikram has loved Kinanti since High School."
"It's none of your business! I like who it is my right. Kinanti likes who it is also right Kinanti. Whose Ikram is the same, that is the right of Ikram. There's no right to make people feel!"
"I like you too, don't I, Amber?"
"Yes, and my right to refuse you too!"
"Anjirr." Daffin laughed softly.
"What am I lacking, Amber?" his sigh grabbed Amber's hand and squeezed her with a pleading gaze.
"You're not my type, Daffin!" Amber pulled her hand quickly, then crossed her arms while raising her chin.
"You are chatty and childish. While the cream is more mature," he said while turning the eyeball.
Daffin gulped.
"Amber, I care about you! I have to remind you, the Pledge is like Kinanti. He's only half-hearted with you, don't let you get disappointed and heartbroken" he said more calmly.
"Stop it! I know, Daffin. I know more about Ikram and Kinanti than you do. As long as you know, the Pity is just the same Kinanti!"
"Are you serious about your words, Amber?"
Amber puts a shoulder to the fool.
"His hope is also to be a person. All the goodness of Ikram is papered!"
"Ambers! she's your bestie, right?"
"Keep why?" ketus Amber's.
That is, as hard as Daffin tried to resuscitate Amber, did not change the woman's decision at all. The engagement continues.
"I bet you'll cry!" Daffin cursed while slamming a marriage invitation letter from Amber, his ex-girlfriend.
Really am. Daffin didn't really mean to cuss Amber. However, Daffin loves him, and Daffin is not willing to do so if Amber is hurt. He doesn't believe Ikram married Amber out of love. Rumors are heard, they are betrothed in the interests of the family business.
Daffin did not expect Ikram would cheat on the feelings of Amber who seemed sincere to marry him. However, Ikram's phone in the morning was shaking his anxiety. The phone sabotages Daffin's intention to kiss the beautiful sleeping Kinanti on the sofa in his apartment.
"Bad!" maki Daffin heard Kinanti's phone noisily disturbing when a little more his lips touched the pink lips. Daffin snatched the phone quickly and wanted to turn it off, but was stunned when Amber's name was on the screen. His heart was immediately filled with worry. Daffin lifted it up. He thinks Amber needs help. Because four o'clock in the morning is not the usual time for someone to call someone else without urgent reason. Daffin almost opened his mouth to say hello. But silenced as soon as his ears even heard the sound of Ikram baritone.
Daffin's hands were shaking. How dare Ikram betray Amber! Not even a month of marriage.
"Cinatan, please. How long are you going to block my number?"
Daffin smiled cynically. At least this isn't a two-way affair. But it suddenly flashed back in his head Kinanti's remark.
"What the hell is Daffin, who you like about Amber until you're crazy about him? Should I help you take back Amber from Ikram?"
Daffin is nervous. Is this what made Kinanti say that? Because Ikram often contacted him secretly and offered an affair?
"Winning..." Ikram spoke again. Daffin put up an ear, wondering what he was going to talk about.
"I'm married, but I want us to be best friends like you, I'm sorry, Kinanti. I was too cowardly and too late to reveal this," Ikram heard sighing for a moment before he said again.
"Kinanti.., I love you. I've been in love with you ever since we were classmates at High School" and the man laughed softly.
"Yes, Kinan.." he sighed.
"Even before you squirm I cried that day at TPU. I liked you at the time, Kinanti. Excuse me. Because I just said it now. I'm sorry, Kinanti. Pleases. I'm sorry." Ikram sighed again with a heavy tone.
"I love you, but I'm sorry I was forced to marry Amber. For reasons I can't explain. Please, Kinanti. You may hate me, but please don't hate Amber for our marriage. Be her best friend." Ikram said it so softly, it almost resembles a whisper. But it can snatch the ears of Daffin who heard it.
"Let's see, I also want to see you happy. But, with Daffin? I don't think he's a good man for you. Please think again, Kinanti. I care so much about you."
Daffin almost cursed but his phone line went dead.
"He's not a good guy for you?" his his hiss repeated the words of Ikram in a cynical tone.
"Oh.really?" resounding.
Instantly Daffin's determination bubbled in anger. He will silence the difficulty of the Kram by marrying Kinanti!
Daffin turned back his car following Kinanti to the stop where he dropped off the woman. But no longer seen the figure of Kinanti there. Daffin hit his wheel in annoyance. The man got down the car and locked it, then ran around.
"Win!" call him while looking here and there,
"Winning...! A...!" he exclaimed again looking for the figure of Kinanti with gasping breath.
There were not many people there and none of them were like Kinanti. Then Daffin called the woman, but her call was rejected no matter how much Daffin called her again and again.

Daffin restores his beautiful black hair as a shampoo advertising model. Then sighed softly while twirling the wine glass in his hand. Red wine is enough to help Daffin leave all his annoying memories. Then the man looked at the swimming pool down there.
"It's so beautiful to see from here." Suddenly, Kinanti's words that night touched her mind.
On the balcony of his apartment, he had a conversation with Kinanti. With a familiarity that quietly wraps warmly her feelings. Behind his residence all this time, Kinanti was actually a pleasant figure. Until a speck of hope appears in Daffin's heart, can Kinanti make him fall in love? And help her forget Amber? But what happened, the woman decided in a matter of days. It hurts even more when you see it with sugar daddy.
"Bad!" screeched Daffin while throwing a wine glass in his hand until it was destroyed once hit the wall. Daffin felt this moment when he remembered again about the three boxes ****** scattered from the paper bag Kinanti earlier.
"Badly, Is it really the Kinanti that made love to the old pig?"
