~PUBER SECOND.

"Let's sleep. It's a shame, love." Amara enveloped Love and hugged her tightly. The little girl had been feeling restless since.
"Love sleeps but I promise I won't go away Love," said Kasih who increasingly tightened his embrace on Amara.
Amara smiled then kissed her daughter's forehead. "Mom won't go, honey. I'll sleep here with Kasih. So, you don't have to be afraid, do you? Love believes 'is it the same mother?" The top of Love's head.
Love nodded with eyes that began to sleepy. "Yes. Love believes in Mother. Anyway Kasih wants to stay here as long as Mother also join Love here. In this big house." Then, because of drowsiness that can no longer be held back, he finally fell asleep.
'This is also your home, my love. This is your real home. Slowly you will understand. If they were your real family. Not mom. We don't even have the slightest blood relationship. But you must not be afraid. Mother will keep Love until Love is healed. Mom's promise.' Amara said it all in her heart.
From this moment on he will try to explain it to Love. Even with understanding and patience. Tonight at the request of my mother, Kasih will stay in this house, of course with Amara who will accompany. However, they cannot be separated simply because Amaralah has been raising Love.
Unbeknownst to Amara, Mami has since heard her conversation with Kasih. He unintentionally passed by and heard the whining of a restless Love. Amara's role is so great in the life of Love. The 27-year-old woman has done a lot of good, taking care of her granddaughter willingly and lovingly. Amara was even willing to spend her youth just for the sake of caring for and raising Love.
'Should I repay Amara's kindness in what way? If it wasn't for him, maybe today I wouldn't have met my grandson.' Mami is beating up. He was eager to repay Amara's kindness all along.
"Mom."
Mami gave a shocked snort, Galang was suddenly behind and touched his shoulder.
"You're surprising my mom." Mami Sarah turned around and pulled Galang's hand to get away from the room occupied by Kasih and Amara. "sit here. Mommy wants to talk to you." He led his son to sit on the living room couch.
Galang sat down next to Mami, then asked, "What's up, Mom? Mommy why did you scoop them up?"
Waving my hands, my mom took a deep breath. "You're playing the original accusation. Who else is hugging? The mother was not deliberately passing by continue to be horrified Love talking with her mother. Keep on being bland." He rejected Galang's accusations and even giggled himself.
Galang just shook his head to see the behavior of his mother.
"Galang, mami tuh from earlier Amara thought. Mami plans to give him something as a sign of gratitude for having been taking care of my granddaughter all this time. What do you think?" tanya asked Mami for an opinion to Galang.
"Mami's Sun," said Galang. "But if I think it's better not, Mom. Later Amara even offended us. Later he thinks we judge he just wants to profit," he added later. Advised her mother to abandon her intentions.
Mom's face looks lethargic. "Mommy just wants to give a gift to Amara. No intention to do anything really. But if you deny, yes, mending is not so." Mami crossed her arms on the chest and leaned her back on the back of the sofa. He was slightly disappointed by Galang's response to disagreeing if he gave a gift to Amara.
Afraid that the mother felt offended, Galang immediately gave understanding to the woman who had given birth to him. Holding my mother's hand, Galang then said,
"Mom, instead of Galang forbid Mami. But, from what Galang saw during Galang knew Amara. He is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage. Instead of later Mami felt ashamed of being rejected. Better Mami trust advice from Galang. Okay?" That's what Galang noticed all along. Even though he only knew Amara a few days ago.
At first, my mother was disappointed and did not accept it. However, Galang's explanation has a point as well. He did not want Amara to think negatively of his family.
"alright. My mom doesn't give me anything. You have a point too," break up mami finally makes Galang can breathe a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow you're nganter us, right?" tanyanya mami later.
"So, Mom. I miss Maya as well."
"Hopefully, Mom. We'll explain it slowly."
Mami nodded. "Hopefully."
Tomorrow the plan is they will all visit Kak Maya in the hospital. By bringing along Kasih and Amara.
"Let's go to sleep, Mom. Mami has to rest," invited Galang who then stood up.
Mami stood up. "Come on."
The two left the living room and entered their respective rooms.

In the room, Galang did not sleep immediately. The man seemed to want to contact someone. His face looked very serious when the person across the street answered his phone.
"Make sure everything goes according to plan and no one is suspicious."
"Good, Sir. I assure you no one will be suspicious. I've been using a fake account."
The answer of the person across there made Galang pull both corners of his lips. He's feeling happy.
"I trust everything to you. We'll see tomorrow." Pause for a while then Galang headed to the nightstand to pick up something. He took some documents from there. "Tomorrow I have a trial. I will try to come but after the hospital. You please take care of it until I come," he said, which was immediately responded quickly from the person.
Galang disconnected the call after it felt enough and there is nothing to discuss anymore. Putting her phone on the nightstand, she walked to the balcony.
"Help ..." A long sigh gusted from his nose. His gaze looked up, staring at the dark sky decorated with stars. Galang felt that something had been stirring his heart. Ever since she found out that Amaralah took care of her niece all this time.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I feel weird?" he muttered as he rubbed his face repeatedly. "I need to get through my divorce with Vanilla immediately. That way I can get what I want. I am sorry Amara. Sorry."
Undeniably, his friendship with Amara so left a special impression for the man. When she first saw Amara crying and quietly dive into the meaning of the round eyes. Maybe, it feels strange if he experiences things that should be experienced by teenagers who are just growing up.
As we know puberty does not only happen once. And, this time a Galang Aditya Pratama experienced it. Well, at the age of four, Galang felt himself back attracted to the opposite sex.
Is that weird? Of course not.
This is natural experienced by a man or adult woman. It often occurs at the age of thirty and above. It is commonly called second puberty. However, what makes Galang not out of thought, why should he be interested in Amara? Their meeting had only lasted for about four days.
"Is it weird that that's what happened to me? Why is the time so bad. I wish I could control myself."
