The Temptation of the Former
Cravings

The bus that Jihan was riding on reached the front stop of the alley. Jihan comes down first and is followed by Johan. Jihan turned to look at Johan who just kept following her.

"Go home, just get here" Jihan told Johan.

"I will take you to the front of the house and will go straight home" Johan said.

"Didn't you see, Raksa was waiting" Jihan said, looking at Raksa's car.

"He'll be fine, I'll just take you to the front of the house" Johan said.

" Yes whatever." Jihan eventually relented, as Johan insisted on saying it home despite having to walk.

Jihan and Johan walked side by side, Johan glanced at Jihan beside him. He wanted to hold Jihan's hand while walking, but he was afraid that Jihan would get angry.

But Johan really wanted to walk while holding hands with Jihan. It seemed like his curiosity was now greater than his fear.

Slowly but surely, Johan's hand began to move about to grab Jihan's hand, just a few centimeters away and suddenly, one of Jihan's neighbors walked up to her in a hurry.

"Damn!" exclaim enya'

"Why ... kok to run gini," said Jihan confused.

"Your house ...." Enya' was still trying to normalize her wheezing breath.

"My house why's it'?" ask jihan confused.

"Your house is a fire, the mela Ama Nino is already in sane, your cat there (Your house is on fire, Mela and nino are already there, hurry there)," said enya' with his panicked face.

Jihan looked extremely shocked, her face turning pale in an instant. Johan was so, he looked at Jihan who was now beside him, he tried to strengthen Jihan. But Jihan who had been chasing panicked, immediately ran quickly to her house.

Johan followed Jihan. Finally Jihan arrived in front of her house, there were already many people crowded there. It was seen that Mela and Nino were sitting on the ground mourning the house that was now flat on the ground.

A house full of memories, struggles, and the only place Mela, Nino and Jihan shelter from the harshness of life in the capital. Now the place is flat on the ground, only the dust remains.

Jihan walked quickly to the Aunt and her cousin, tears now wetting her cheeks. Never saw Mela and Nino sobbing.

Jihan's happiness lies in Mela and Nino's happiness, their tears, will be the hardest blow for Jihan.

"Sister, our house is no longer there" said Nino, sobbing.

Jihan was unable to say anything, she hugged Nino very tightly. Moreover, Mela, tired after work, which usually will disappear when she arrives home, now there is no more, no place to go home.

from a distance of two meters Johan can only see Jihan who is now hugging with her aunt and cousin. He is eager to get close to Jihan and calm her down, but he knows it is not yet time.

It was getting dark, Kinan was now also at the location of the fire because he got the info from Raksa. Now they were gathering at a camling post not far from Jihan's house.

Some residents are being asked for information by the police, to collect information related to this fire case.

Kinan was now trying to calm Jihan, Mela and Nino.

Jihan still looks weak because it is too much. Mela and Nino as well.

"Where are we sleeping tonight?" ask Nino to her mother.

Mela just, shook her head omens if she was still confused about their next fate. Nino again sobbing, Johan who was talking to the police is now moving to memorize Nino.

"Nino tonight sleeps at Kinan's sister's house, yes" Kinan said.

"But Ki .. You also still live with your parents and sisters, we do not want to be troublesome" said Jihan.

"It's Jihan, I can sleep in the living room" Kinan said.

Johan heard Jihan and Kinan talk, immediately chimed in, "You, Auntie Mela and Nino, will be staying in my apartment," Johan said.

Jihan looked up to see Johan standing in front of her. He did not want to trouble anyone let alone Johan. But under these conditions, a temporary stay in Johan's apartment is the only option until Jihan finds a new home.

Because Jihan did not answer her words, Johan switched to memorizing Nino and Mela. Johan sat in front of Nino who was currently still sobbing.

"Nino, stay at the house I want ya?" ask Johan.

Nino looked at her mother as if asking for her approval. Mela finally spoke up after remaining silent.

"Son Johan, isn't it a hassle?" ask Mela.

"If it's aunty, it's up to Jihan" Mela said as she glanced at Jihan.

"How's Jihan, do you want to stay in my apartment for a while?" ask Johan.

Jihan turned to Kinan as if seeking approval, Kinan just nodded and smiled at him.Jihan looked back at Johan. He had no other choice, he hoped this was the first and last time he would trouble Johan.

"Alright, I agree" Jihan told Johan.

Raksa will go home with Kinan, while Johan will take Jihan with Nino and Mela to the Apartment.

No items or clothes can be carried, only what has now been attached to the body that can be carried. Weight is indeed when things that are not expected, just happen.

Trying to assert themselves is certain, although the heart is broken because of the loss of shelter so far.

Jihan hugged Nino the whole way. His tears rolled back into the corner, contemplating the terrible fate that never seemed tired to stop in his life.

Johan glanced at Jihan who was sitting in the back. He could see if he was also crying in his silence.

Johan's heart felt very tight to see the person he loved, experiencing a disaster like this.

If Johan had not followed Jihan home earlier, somehow the fate of Jihan now, Fate seems to lead Johan to be a helper for Jihan.

Finally Johan's car arrived at the basement apartment. Quickly, Johan got out of the car and opened the door for Mela and Jihan.

Nino, seems confused, why Johan even brought them to a place like this, he had said Johan, would take him home.

"Hey sir ..." said Nino who had now approached Johan.

"Why Nino?" johan asked the little boy in front of her. Eh is not a small boy, just his attitude is childish, even though Nino has sat on the bench of Junior High School.

"She wanted to take me, Jihan's sister and mom home. Where's the house?" ask Nino to Johan.

Johan was stunned to hear Nino's words, he thought Nino certainly did not know the apartment was indeed a tall building like this.

"Nino, my house here, you'll see for yourself" Johan said.

Finally they arrived at the door of the apartment unit, Johan pressed the door code, until the door was open.

Johan invites Mela, Nino and Jihan to enter. Mela and Nino were surprised to see the luxury of the apartment. Yes, if Jihan has been to the third time he set foot in this apartment, it's natural that he was mediocre.

Nino immediately ran towards the large window in the living room of the apartment, he was again stunned when he looked down, he saw the streets and cars passing by looked very small from up there.

"It turns out that on top of the building there is a house" said Nino in disbelief.

"Nino don't stand by the window, come here" Jihan said.

Nino walked quickly over to Mela, "This is really home?" ask Nino to Johan.

"Of course, how do you like it?" ask Johan.

"I like, this house is also very good, the tv is ten times the size of the tv at home," said Nino.

"I'm sorry, Johan, if Nino talks too much" she told Johan.

"It's okay auntie, oh yes here there are two rooms, Auntie and Nino can sleep in the room that is there, while Jihan can sleep in the room that is beside her," johan said while showing the room in the apartment.

"Thank you, Johan" said Mela.

"Then I say go home first, later in the morning, Kinan and Raksa will come say clothes and food," said Johan.

"Thank you for everything" Jihan said stiffly.

"It's the same, then I'm sorry."

Johan was about to leave but suddenly Nino said, "Why not sleep here alone, can sleep with Jihan," said Nino.

"Nino!" yell out Jihan and Mela at the same time.
