Romeo, who was about to fall asleep, gasped when someone knocked on his car's door. He was shocked to see Rere standing next to his car door in the middle of a night of heavy rain while rowing. He pulled down the window.
"Rere, why is it raining like this?" Just opening the window glass, Romeo could feel the cold air outside.
"Come in." Rere thrust out a folding umbrella that he deliberately brought Romeo.
Romeo couldn't believe hearing Rere tell him to come in. He pinched his hand, afraid that right now, he was just dreaming.
"I won't repeat the offer twice."
Hearing that, Romeo immediately grabbed the umbrella Rere was thrusting.
Without waiting for Romeo, Rere first walked towards the house. He couldn't stand the cold outside. Despite wearing an umbrella, her clothes were a little wet because of the rain tonight accompanied by the wind.
In haste Romeo followed Rere into the house. In the guest room, it turns out Rere has prepared pillows and blankets.
"Sleep here tonight." Rere chose to look inside, he did not want to see Romeo's face. "And from tomorrow, you don't have to sleep in the car in front of my house anymore. You can sleep well in your house. I'm not gonna report you to the police." Finally Rere made his decision.
"You're wrong to assume I slept across the street to take your sympathies away from being reported to the police. I'm even ready to go to jail if it can reduce a little bit of your hatred for me. I was there just to keep my promise. My promise will always be there for you, always take care of you and be a standby husband."
Rere cremated his negligee hearing all the Romeo talk.
"I will always be alert when you give birth. I will never forget my promise to accompany you in labor."
Rere wiped away the tears that came out from the corner of his eyes. He remembered the conversation before his sleep with Romeo.
"Today, a store customer told me if his wife gave birth without him. And when I arrived, I thought about it. I don't want to be like that woman. I'm not as strong as him. You should be by my side when I give birth. You want to accompany me even if he's not your real son?"
Romeo immediately grabbed Rere's hand and held it tightly. "Not only during childbirth, but forever. I'll be there for you forever, until we age together and death do us part."
At that time, she felt so happy because she had a husband like Romeo. But now, his feelings are no longer the same, unlike before. A love so deep, must be mixed with hate.
Unwilling to get more carried away, Rere decides to enter, leaving Romeo alone in the guest room.
"I love you Re."
Although only sayup sayup, but Rere can still hear it.
Rere was shocked when he woke up and found the clock had shown at 6 more. Hunt him into the living room to see Romeo. He wanted the man to leave immediately before his papa saw. But it feels impossible if this jam, his papa has not woken up. But why didn't it sound like a commotion?
There was no one in the guest room. The pillow and blanket are well-appointed. And when Rere peeked out from behind a mosquito net, he could see no more Romeo's car there. It seems that man has already come home. As usual, Romeo was home before dawn.
"Package, mbak Rere." The shrill sound of the brother ojek online made Rere who was about to enter again towards the door. As in the morning before, there is always a breakfast package for him.
"Thank you." Said Rere while receiving a paperbag from the hand of the driver ojol. If Rere usually takes him straight to the kitchen, this time he opens it in the guest room. He took out a small piece of paper taped to the top of the lunch box.
Thank you for letting me in last night. Even if only looking at you for a moment, it can reduce my longing. Sorry for coming home a little bad this morning so no time to cook. Hopefully this love waffle can make you and our child full. And the milk, do not forget to drink. I love you, now, later and forever.
Rere opened the transparent dining box in front of him. Her tears melt seeing Romeo's love waffle. Memories of eating waffles with Romeo again disturbed his mind.
He took the waffle and ate it. Cute, Romeo cuisine is always suitable in his tongue. Whether it's the baby or what, taou he does like whatever Romeo makes. Not to forget he also drank the milk in the paper bag.

"Re, Rere." Rere heard his mother's voice calling out at once knocking on his bedroom door.
"Rere in front of Mah" Rere said from the living room.
Hearing that, Jia went straight ahead to Rere. He smiled seeing Rere eating breakfast from Romeo.
"So you've made up your mind?" jia asked while sitting next to Rere. Because usually Rere never touch food from Romeo.
"Rere won't report the case to the police."
Jia breathed a sigh of relief hearing that. "That's the most appropriate decision." Jia clasped Rere's left hand. "Maybe it feels unfair to you. Let God punish them. Rest assured, God is not sleeping. Gina, mama's sure she'll get her payback."
Rere nodded though to be honest, he was still heavy to let go of Gina. But reporting Gina, it could drag Romeo too. This afternoon, his determination was already unanimous to meet Gina. He had to make a calculation with that woman.
"But what about papa?" Rere wasn't sure the papa agreed.
"Let's mom talk to papa."
