“Because Brother also needs a superhero figure,” always Jihan makes Anggita and Alan chuckle.
“Big brother is ready to be your two superheroes,”, Alan said back to look at Jihan through the mirror.
The Junior High boy only returned with a smile, because what Jihan needed was not just words. He wants Galang. It was Galang who wanted to be the superhero brother and himself, because the man proved to have saved his brother and him in many ways. Starting from melting his heart and really treating his trauma by making him forgive a dark period that is so deep, and bring Anggita back when Anggita lost somewhere.
Arriving home, Alan immediately said goodbye. Even we do not hold back his lover because they are both tired and need enough sleep today.

The Anggita routine is back as usual. Being a maid at the Alan family residence. Gradually he felt increasingly confused with his own heart, not knowing who actually reigned there, and who does he want to be ‘superhero’ in his life as his sister had said back then.
Galang's presence, which is not completely lost after their return to their respective homes, cannot make Anggita completely rid the man of his mind. Galang always had his own way of melting his heart, which Alan never did to him.
“Ahhh! Why did I think of him,” grumbled Anggita as he was cooking in the kitchen of Mr. Galih's residence.
“What's up, Anggita?” tanya Ratih walked over to Anggita who spoke alone.
“Hm? Nothing, Mom,” Anggita replied with a wide grin.
Throughout the time working at her lover's residence, Anggita began to feel a little distance from Alan, until when the family just finished eating dinner, Anggita ventured to express her wishes.
“What's up, son? Tumben once you want to say something until you wait to finish dinner like this,” said Pak Galih saw the slightly tense look on Anggita's face.
He felt that the thing Anggita wanted to say right now was very important.
“There are important things that I want to convey to Mom and Dad,” Anggita said staring at two employers.
“So I bother ya here?” alan asked because Anggita did not bring with him his name, even though he was among them.
“Eh, no. You should also know what I want to say now,” refute Anggita fast.
Alan reviewed a wide smile, looking at his instantly worried lover.
“OK. So, what are you talking about? Want to ask us to get married soon, so I can follow my sister?” tempt Alan made madam Ratih directly pinch her son's stomach.
“Lho, maybe Anggita want to talk directly to Mom and Dad, let's surprise.” Alan defended himself.
“Not that. I want to say if I want to stop working here,” lontar Anggita immediately make the three homeowners pegung staring at him.
“Lho, why impromptu gini, son? Are you not comfortable working in this house anymore? Or is this mother's child hurting you?” berondong bu Ratih was still shocked to hear Anggita's wishes, which never crossed his mind at all.
I shake my hand and shake slowly.
“Ngak, Mom. Alan is not wrong, Mother and Father are also not wrong, kok,” Anggita said before the debate he did not want.
“Sorry if later my reason is quite strange, but my reason this time is indeed because of Alan,” said Anggita staring at her lover.
“I feel we both have no distance at all. I don't feel any homesickness for Alan. Therefore I want to make a little distance between the two of us, to feel it,” explained Anggita.
Sometimes it takes distance to feel the meaning of longing. And maybe this is exactly what Anggita needs now.
“So, you haven't missed me all this time?” alan asked his girlfriend.
“Shut up. I understand Anggita's intention,” cut Ratih bu.
Because their work and love story are two different realms.
“If it is your wish and decision, I can do nothing. But, may I have some time for you to keep working here until I get your replacement?” pinta bu Ratih's.
“Can, Mom,” Anggita replied.
After the two agreed, Ratih invited Alan and Anggita to speak four eyes in the yard. At least the air there is fresher than in the house.
“You never miss me?” alan asked after they sat together on the bench of the yard.
“Kangen. But not often, and not the true longing I am rasain,” honest Anggita.
“We meet every day, and only night when I come home we are a distance away. In short, I want to feel missed with you,” said Anggita trying to say clearly what he wants.
Although the reason was not entirely true, it was only in this way that he could feel what his heart wanted more clearly.
“You understand what I mean?” ask Anggita when Alan does not respond to his words.
“Pahm. Just why just now? A year we live this relationship, we are fine,” said Alan staring in both beads Anggita eyes.
I don't answer Alan's questions right away. He licked his lips and turned his eyes the other way.
“I've wanted to talk about this for a long time. I'm just scared. Afraid of you being so gini-minded to me,” said Anggita.
“And it turns out to be true, you so think of him everywhere,” continued Anggita a little disappointed.
“Not that I think about going anywhere, I think so because we have never discussed this before, and make me your decision is too sudden,” said Alan did not cover his feelings in the least.
“Sorry. I don't want you later even nontang your parents' decision,” Anggita regretted.
“Yes, no papa. I also like if you want to miss me,” said Alan does not want Angita sad.
“Sorry, if I make you angry and disappointed because of my decision,” Anggita said with a look full of guilt.
Alan nodded slowly, with a soothing warm smile. “At first I was disappointed, but after thinking about your decision there really is also. I also want you to be a prospective daughter-in-law in this house. Not to come for work, but to protect my parents,” said Alan imagine their relationship is getting better after this.
“So ... Now you are not angry with me?” anggita asked staring in Alan's bead.
“Yes, I'm not angry. Where can I be angry with women as good as you,” replied Alan while rubbing Anggita's cheek.
