THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Wither Before Growing

Breeze towards the afternoon caressing eyes that are getting tired. The sleepiness began to attack.

Mira persisted to keep her eyes awake. Salsa is busy sticking to the price tag.

"Cock tumbens are so sleepy, huh? Let's make coffee first, yeah. Shouldn't you be married? ask Mira.

"No need, Ma'am. Thanks though. Salsa is not used to coffee," declined Salsa.

"Mbak is also not used to coffee, anyway. But these eyes are heavy."

"Just sleep for a second. The Salsa store is waiting. At the very least Mba Via and Mbak Ratna go home. I think Mira is tired," suggested Salsa.

"Yes, here. Is it okay to live alone?" Mira seemed to doubt.

"Yes, it's okay. There, Mira Boci first!"

"OK deh. If it's half an hour, please wake up, yes!" pinta Mira steps up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

"Yes. Dream of meeting the prince!" salsa shouted followed by giggling laughter.

"Dream of meeting Prince Farhan? Ah why do I keep thinking about him, anyway? Until last night I couldn't sleep because I imagined him. It's gini, huh. Now sleepy. Come, Mas Farhan!"

Not until five minutes to relax, Mira has fallen asleep.

So good, he did not realize often smiling to himself. He was also not disturbed when the noise of Ratna filled the shophouse.

"God willing, Salsa forgot to wake up Mira. Now it's almost an hour he's asleep" Salsa murmured as she returned the bundle of robe to the display case.

"Mbak Ratna, can you please wake up Mira? Salsa was told to wake up after half an hour of sleep. Salsa forgets because of the many visitors, Salsa continues to settle down," Salsa shouted.

"Yes," Ratna replied with a shout as well.

He approached his cousin. An applause in the hand accompanied by a call did not immediately return Mira from her dream world.

"Mbak Mira again what dream, huh? It's hard to build, even that smile. I think very happy," muttered Ratna.

Finally, Ratna shook Mira's body a bit loudly accompanied by a shout.

"Fire..fire! Run!"

"Mas, there's a fire. Let's run!" Mira wakes up and jumps out of bed.

Ratna looked up at Mira in panic. While Mira stood alone in confusion.

"Aren't there fires, Rat?" mira asked with a confused face.

"No, Ma'am. I want to let Mira wake up hahaha!"

"Basically, you are a troublemaker. If I have heart disease, what will it be? I may not wake up forever" muttered Mira.

"Remove, Mira sleeps like she's fainted. It was built many times and did not wake up. Forced, Ratna cried out in the fire," Ratna said without sin.

"I'm so sleepy. Sleep less last night. At least 2 or 3 hours."

"Indeed why? We weren't overtime last night? Any issues?" ask Ratna.

"So, something is troubling my mind" Mira replied as she put her ass on the bed.

"What's up, Ma'am?" Ratna.

"Who-don't really."

"If there is a problem, it is better to say it. Maybe I can help. If not, with the story at least the burden of feeling can be reduced."

Mira looked doubtful. He looked at Ratna with a glare.

"Rat, is it wrong that I like someone? But, that person is so much different from me" Mira whispered.

"You know, who's the guy you like?"

"Ah, I'm ashamed."

"I'm the only one who knows. I promise I won't tell anyone without Mira's permission."

"Tell?" Mira.

"God willing, I didn't tell anyone except with Mira's permission.

Mira. He still seemed hesitant to come clean to Ratna.

"The person I like ... Mas Farhan," said Mira lirih.

Ratna smiled faintly. He already suspected that.

"You know why Mira likes Mas Farhan? He's a cold guy."

"Eitherway. In my eyes he is charismatic. By acting cold, he looks authoritative. About the face, know for yourself that he is cute. He's also well established."

Ratna nodded in understanding. He thought of a way to bring Mira closer to Farhan.

"Sir, how about asking for help with Via? He is his foster brother. He understands the character of Mas Farhan. Moreover, he would easily communicate with Mas Farhan."

"But I'm ashamed. I realized I was too different. Mas Farhan from a rich family, well educated, good manners again. While me? You know it yourself" said Mira.

"I'm confused, Rat. How good do you think it is?" Mira asked back.

"I think Mira should try. Did I just talk to Via?"

Mira's speechless. He seemed to think, weighing everything.

"But, you have to ask that Dek Via not tell anyone. I'm ashamed that anyone else knows. Yes, if Mas Farhan wants to be with me, if not? Where'd I put my face?"

"In the head. Already, now pray first! I'm helping Salsa." Ratna rushed out and down the stairs towards the 1st floor. Mira also rose from her seat to ablaze and pray.

Later that night, Ratna went into Via's room. The girl just closed her laptop.

"Jain what, anyway?" ask Ratna.

"Just gripping the order. Salsa was not finished. What's up, Rat? Tumben your nights to my room,” said Via.

“Emang can't?”

“Who said you can't? I just need you. Usually if the nights go to my room, you want to vent. Really not?” guess Via.

“Hehe .. can be you, Vi. No, there's something I want to talk about. I fell asleep, yes,” Ratna said as she climbed onto the bed.

“Subject. Yes, now by the way. What's the matter, Non?"

“It's not about me.”

“Then?’

“It's a problem Mbak Mira.”

“Why with Mbak Mira? Did that kidnapping trauma haunt him again?” ask Via curiously.

“Not. It has nothing to do with kidnapping. You still remember what we talked about when we went to college at that time?’ Ratna tested Via's memory.

“Which one, huh?”

“We are running out of lava tour, a week before mid-semester. That, about Mira.”'s feelings

“Oh, about your guess that Mbak Mira is in love?”

Ratna nodded She looked at her friend expectantly.

“Kok natapnya that?” reprimand Via.

“Because I was hoping you could help my cousin's brother.”

“You mean?”

“Previous, please promise. Promise not to tell anyone else about what we're talking about later,” pinta Ratna.

“Kok seems like a secret? Okay, I promise not to tell you what we're talking about mini mala on purpose except with your permission. Insha'allah. Enough?”

“Oke, I believe. Look, Vi, Mira likes Mas Farhan. You are his foster brother. Of course you know a lot about him.”

“Terus?”

“Yes, you helped Mba Mira to get along with Mas Farhan. Can, right?”

Via's chest was like being hit by a hammer. Again he felt his heart as if it was being squeezed. He took a long breath.

“Where, Vi? You can help Mira, right?” ratna.

“Before I apologize. I have to say this. Really, I really don't want to hurt Mira. But, if I don't say, Mira's mother will be sicker. Rat, Mas Farhan already has one. Maybe soon father and mother will hold a wedding reception Mas Farhan,” said Via slowly.

“What? Who is Mas Farhan's future wife? Entrepreneur's son? His office buddy?” cecar Ratna's.

“Sorry, I can't say now,” Via berkilah.

“You know?” ask Ratna again.

Via just smiled. He moved to Ratna's side.

“Rat, please tell Mbak Mira about this, yes. I actually wanted to help Mira, but I couldn't. Insya Allah Mbak Mira will find the right soul mate.”

“Okay, Vi. But remember, don't tell anyone else. It's our secret, yes.”

Via nodded his head while smiling gently.

“Please Mbak Mira. Your love must be dashed, withered before it develops,” Ratna said in her heart.
