That afternoon, Mei leaves early for her boss, who wants to pick up Justin at the city bus terminal and take him to find lodging. May is unlikely to bring Justin home, her father will be angry if she brings a man home carelessly. Moreover, the man is his former affair.
The terminal atmosphere is quite crowded, many buses go back and forth from the terminal as well as several passengers with a lot of luggage. Just by smelling her perfume scent alone Mei could quickly find Justin, the man was waiting for her in front of the terminal entrance.
"It was very soon to find me, when I didn't say where I was waiting for you" Justin grimaced.
"What did you come here for?" Mei bluntly.
"I miss you" Justin said.
"What?" Mei was shocked.
"May, it seems like I fell for you and couldn't live away from you" Justin ventured into saying his feelings.
"Don't talk about the feelings here, we immediately look for lodging," said Mei.
"A lodge? Why don't we just go to your house?"
"Where might I take you home, can be cut my neck by my father," said Mei loudly.
The two took a taxi, they went to find an inn not far from the bus terminal. Long looking, finally the two men found a simple inn with cheap rent.
Inside the Hotel...
Justin immediately hugged Mei tightly, he kissed the woman's cheeks gently then stroked her long hair.
"Did you never once miss my touch Mei?" Whisper Justin.
"Of course I've missed your touch" said Mei embarrassedly.
"Can we do that now?"
"Can."
The struggle of two people finally happened, both of them really make good use of their time together. Not one to be missed by Justin in the slightest, he treats Mei as if Mei was the princess of a kingdom and she was his prince.
Two hours of unification, both sprawled and equally exhausted.
"It still feels the same as before, it's really opium for me" Justin said.
"You, could have!"
"May, I want our relationship to take a serious step. You want to marry me?" Justin stared at Mei's face.
"So, I'm confused. Anyway, I don't necessarily allow it,"
"We'll try to talk to him slowly, please,"
"I'm barren, do you want to accept my one shortcoming?"
"I want it, it's not a big deal for me. I want to accept you for who you are, baby,"
The atmosphere around turned so quiet, Mei was really made to think hard by Justin. The man looks so sincere to her, but Mei feels insecure because of her flaws.
What if one day Justin turns away and brings up his flaws? But can a barren woman like herself not build a household? Can't you?
"So how's May? You want to not marry me? If you want, I'll fight for your father's permission,"
"I'm..."
"Promise me, just for me?"
"Yes, I promise."

Agung began to urinate, it was night but Mei had not yet returned home. She guessed Mei stopped by somewhere with her friend, but why didn't she ask permission first or tell the house guy?
Agung paced back and forth in front of the door, occasionally he glanced towards the wall clock that had shown at 21:30 minutes. Samar Samar Agung saw the shadow of Mei at the end of the alley, he walked slowly with steps like an exhausted person.
"Where is the child, the clock is coming home," grumbled Agung annoyed.
Mei threw a small smile, Agung did not immediately reply to her.
"Where have you been?" Ask the Great.
"I'm sorry, I'm from a friend's house earlier,"
"Why not tell Dad? You're worried, "Great scolding.
"I'm out of pulses," Mei grimaced.
"Come in there, take a bath and eat, quickly" commanded the Great. She treats Mei like a Junior High.
"Yes." Yeah." Mei Lirih.
Just going home late like this, did she ask permission to marry Justin's cousin January?
After eating, Mei approached Agung who was watching TV while drinking coffee.
"Why not go to sleep?" Ask the Great.
"There's something I want to talk about,"
"What about?"
"Tomorrow my friend will come here, Father do not be fierce. Shame," said Mei.
"Which friend?"
"Justin, cousin January,"
"Oh... Justin. She's here by herself?"
"Yes, by yourself."
"Would he come?"
"Tomorrow I know, now I want to go first. Good night Dad,"
"Night."
Mei stepped into her room, she knew Agung was still curious because he did not tell her clearly why Justin had come to her house. Mei's heart pounded waiting for tomorrow, imagining how her father would react when he heard Justin talk.
Seriate...
