“ Morning Rania, how are you today?”, greet Pradipta with his trademark smile.
“ Morning Mas Dipta, I feel much better”, said Rania returned her smile. His eyes were always sparkling at the figure of the shady-eyed man.
“ Thankful. How are the children?”, he asked.
“ It's been a few weeks they can laugh again. Thank God many friends who love them”.
“ Thank goodness. Rania, today is the last day of mentoring. I read from every journal, a lot of changes. You have been friends with the past, and no longer worried about the future”.
“ I'm like being in Mas Dipta's position now. I am learning to treat loss. Equally learn to make peace with loneliness”.
Pradipta took off his glasses, the gazes of the two of them clashing against each other. There is a similar story between the two of them, both lost which left scars.
“ You'll be fine Ran. Oya what do you want to drink? Tea or coffee?”, bargain while moving to the corner of the room.
“ Coffee can be Mas”, said Rania.
Pradipta turned his head as if he could not believe what he had just heard.
“ You sure Ran, don't miss the same taste of sweet tea again?”.
“ A cup of sweet tea is just a story of the past, it never hurts to try a new”, replied Rania.
Pradipta approached Rania while giving a cup of hot coffee that he had just concocted. Rania accepted it and tasted it slowly. This was the first time he drank coffee, bitter taste on the tongue, the smell of piercing the nose made his stomach a little nauseous. But for a long time he began to get used to the taste of coffee that left a bitter mark on his tongue.
“ Coffee is like living Ran, initially it is bitter even make stomach nausea. But over time we will get used to it, the more bitter the more opium we made it”.
“ Hahaha my life is already bitter Mas, no need for coffee also has made nausea”, said Rania terbahak while again sipping coffee.
“ But the bitterness of life makes you strong, I am proud to see you Rania”.
“ I still haven't fully recovered Mas. Still traumatized by the affair that Ray committed on me”.
“ Do not fight that fear. Give space and pause on your feelings, let it evaporate by itself. Someday, your heart will find a new love”,
The man's smile returned making Rania blush. Everything thrown from Pradipta's mouth seemed to have a magical to cultivate his confidence.
“ You must learn to fall in love again Ran”.
Rania immediately looked up at Pradipta's advice, her head shaking loudly.
“ Learn to fall in love with yourself, thank the tough woman you saw in the mirror. If you can already love yourself, then you can love others”.
“ Thank you Mas. All the suggestions I always remember. May I consul again sometime?”.
“ Anytime Rania. Do not hesitate to contact me, invite the children to play here can also”, replied Pradipta.
“ Good Mas, I can not long. Thank you once again”, said Rania as she put the cup and moved from her seat”.
“ Rania “.
“ Yes Mas”.
“ Titip hug me for kids ya”.
Rania smiled and nodded. In his heart he was grateful that there were many people who loved his children. Rania comes out of Pradipta's room, saying goodbye to Tiwi, the young woman hugs Rania while giving her support. His footsteps along the beautiful house filled with memories, a peaceful house that always provides recovery and strength.
His feet stopped in front of the red sports sedan waiting for him in the parking lot. A man smiled as he greeted from behind his wheel.
“ How is the counseling? Did it work?”, asked Ivan
“ Udah, just saying yes Mas Dipta and Mbak Tiwi”, replied Rania while closing the car door.
“ Feel better Ran?”, he asked while turning on his car engine and drove to the highway.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Must be trained to be grateful Van. How are the kids?”, asked Rania while glancing at the man next to her.
“ Again with Dion and Nadine. Hopefully safe yes, you know yourself Dion most dizzy ngurusin little boy”, he replied with a small laugh. Ivan's car drove down T.B Simatupang Road.
“ Thanks for picking up. Kan I said no need, just ride ajek aja Van”, he said.
“ Nothing really, it was noon kasian children kalo kelama”, he replied.

“ Heh Van, you deliberately run away yes ninggalin I same Nadine megang 4 children likei”, spray Dion on Ivan who came while whining.
“ Sorry Yon, my son made a riot ya”, said Rania while taking Kian who fell asleep from Nadine's arms.
“ Your child is not roused, but my son is a biang”, pointed Nadine at Sean who is running after Kila and Kica.
“ Hahaha. Hey kids, on want ice cream ga?”, greet Ivan on them.
“ I want ice cream ”, scream Sean.
“ Mauuuu”, screams Kila and Kica follow Ivan while prancing around.
Rania watched her children who were already familiar with each other, no more looks of sadness on their faces. Today it's been 3 months Ray's departure, it's time they rise from the sadness.
“ Ivan great yes, a bachelor who can not hold a baby is now a good boy momong anak”, chirped Nadine who also pay attention to her best friend.
“ His father's soul has grown, since knowing Kian”, replied Dion.
“ Ran, Ivan loves the lo” children, Nadine said as she looked at the confused Rania.
“ I have to be honest with you Ran. Not when you move house? Nadine gave seabreg food to you?. It was all Ivan sent. Originally he was desperate to come to help, but I forbid because the status of you is still the wife of people”, said Dion.
“ Lo inget birthday time? I made a cupcake for you?. It was Ivan who paid. Eh crazy person, he even gave a cat doll gift to Kian”, Nadine said with a laugh.
“ When Ray's lawsuit fell in court, Ivan had almost hired a lawyer to sue Rayendra. New discourse anyway, uh dapet news Ray makas”, said Nadine.
“ The last time Kian entered RS, he was the one who paid all. Sorry yes, do not look at it from the material side, this is the only form of attention that Ivan can love. I shouldn't be able to talk too sih” said Dion.
Rania was stunned to hear the words of the two of them, not expecting so much attention that Ivan had been giving all this time. It is undeniable Ivan is a good man, moreover he is the son of his dream lecturer.
“ Mommy, I want to buy Lego. Can we go around to the kids store”, whine Sean when they get back.
“ Ask Daddy if Lego. Kila same Kica we buy Lego and yuk”, invite Nadine and Sean leave Rania and Ivan both in the coffeshop.
Ivan sat in his chair sipping on the cold coffee, unaware that a pair of eyes were watching him smiling.
“ Thanks to Van”, said Rania.
“ Hah? Thanks what?”, said Ivan.
“ For all his attention during this”.
“ Oh that...”, replied Ivan while blushing. In his heart he cursed Dion who must have leaked his secret all this time”.
“Sorry yes Ran, don't get me wrong. That's all I can give you”
Rania just returned her words with a smile, suddenly her stomach was heartbroken like there were butterflies flying. His mind floated as if humming the song played in the cafe.
You're not with him anymore
In my mind I asked
“ Ran, you are not angry right?”, asked Ivan slowly.
Is he in your heart enthroned?
Or is this the time for me to come to your heart?
But are you falling in love again?
“ No, I appreciate all your attention”, replied Rania while playing her fingers.
Even though these lips do not say
Not that I don't feel
There is something different between us
“ I love the children Ran. Sorry if I sassy ”, said Ivan while twirling his coffee cup.
**
And there's no way I missed you just because
I myself am unable to speak
That I want you in my life
**
“ Nothing, I am happy that they are many who love”, replied Rania.
I'm no longer with him
There is no more taste
Between me and him
Do you reign in my heart, sister?
Because this is a good time to stop in my heart
But are you falling in love again?
“ Rania, are you ready to fall in love?”, asked Ivan to ventured.
Ivan's question made Rania quiet. His mouth was clenched without a sound. His face bowed as if looking for the right answer, his heart wanted to speak but his voice could not come out at the moment.
Just think about it first
Until there is no doubt
To smooth my path
Step into your heart
**
Just think about it first
Until there is no doubt
To smooth my path
Step into your heart

“ There will be a time when this heart will open, if the time comes, this heart is ready to accept its presence”, replied Rania while looking at Ivan with a fixed.
When you're in love, say don't do it in vain
When you're in love, say don't do it in vain
When you're in love, say don't do it in vain
Are you falling in love again?

Are You Falling in Love Again - HIVI
“ Hopefully that time will arrive. Just so you know that there is someone waiting for the door to open “, said Ivan in earnest.
The two human beings laugh at each other, they are swept away by the romance that comes before its time. Rania is still learning to open up, she has to learn to love herself. Ivan is also still learning, how to deal with household mahligai full of thorns. Although he had long harbored a sense, only this time he dared to reveal to his heart.

“ Mas, want to display where the picture Kila?’, asked Tiwi who came while carrying a neatly framed picture of Kila.
“ Display in this room Wi. Let me see every day”, he replied while taking the picture.
“ Mas, Mbak Rania it looks like the late Ma'am Tyas. Style talk until the movements”, said Tiwi.
Pradipta only smiled as he observed the image of the horse running on the meadow.
“ I like the same time Ms. Rania, it is time for Mas Dipta to find a replacement for Mbak Tyas”, he said.
“ Rania is not ready to fall in love, later if it comes time”, replied Pradipta slowly.
“ Mas, you are my only brother. Tiwi kepengen see Mas happy. If you really like to express it, later on someone else loh” first.
Pradipta only fell silent at the thought of his sister's words. For two years he had closed his heart to women, never spared the slightest to find a companion again. But since meeting Rania all felt different, her passion was back on fire. Is this what you call love?.
