Time is turning faster. Unbelievably, five years have passed.
Early in the morning at City B Airport, a man with a neat look and sunglasses perched on his pointy nose, looks to burst out from the crowd. His gaze was constantly lowered, focused on the flat object in his hand.
Not long after someone came to pick him up. The man, Kaivan, came up with an important affair regarding the work that he has been doing for more than five years.
While in another corner of town B, in a fairly luxurious residence, it looks busy morning that always colors the daily life of an Andara.
After deciding to leave her city, Dara is now more comfortable living in city B with someone who does not even have any ties with her. For five years they have lived together.
A man in a light blue shirt suit, looked in a hurry. He even almost missed his breakfast if Dara did not remind him.
"Sir Doctor .." call Dara half-screaming.
The man called Dara as Mr. Doctor stopped his steps as Dara walked over.
"Sir Doctor is always super busy, you haven't had breakfast. Do you want to go to work on an empty stomach?" Dara's question meant to remind.
The man, Riko, smilingly looked at Dara who was standing right in front of him.
"Thank you. If there were no you, maybe my life wouldn't be this organized. You're like..." Riko didn't finish the sentence. For, something that seemed to burden his heart for five years, is still stored neatly in his heart. He could not reveal it.
"I should be thanking you. Thanks to you, I can be like this. You are the one who is always there when I am difficult. Thanks to you I was able to raise Ken well. You are my best friend. Maybe a word of thanks won't be enough. You are very meritorious in my life," said Dara honestly and sincerely.
Riko sighed softly. To be honest, for five years living under one roof with Dara, it really made her unable to hold back.
But his common sense is still in place. Until he can control himself and keep his feelings neatly.
"Friendly?" ask Riko suddenly.
"No intention to be that wife?" ask again. Riko has repeatedly mentioned this. But oftentimes, Dara thought he was joking.
As it is now. When Riko came back to touch her, Dara laughed and responded.
"Come ... You're a doctor. Many women are crazy about you. Just choose which one you want," Dara said. Because until this moment, Riko never showed his closeness to a woman. In fact, in the hospital where she works, many beautiful sisters who put their hearts on her.
"If there were you among those choices, I would have chosen you" he replied seriously. But even considered Dara as a joke.
"Udahan ah, how do we even discuss this matter anyway? Yes, let's have breakfast. You'll be late again." Dara grabbed Riko's arm, took her to the dinner table. Where a little boy was eating his bread.
The little boy, Ken, was a submissive, quiet boy. His handsome face that has been seen from childhood makes many teachers at his school so nervous. The boy seemed to be calmly enjoying his breakfast.
"Ken, are you done with your breakfast?" dara asked as she pulled out a chair for her to sit on.
"The breakfast was spent?" Riko.
Ken nodded while giving his thumb. That's how the little boy is. Sometimes he looks like an adult.
"Oh yeah, today I can leave Ken where you are?" dara asked while smearing bread with jam.
"Can."
"Just this time. I-i promise. Today there is an extra class. After that there was a faculty meeting about the addition of new lecturers. So I might be home late. It's okay, right?"
Riko put on a smile. Then go back to chewing the food.
"Sorry yes, I always trouble you."
Riko returned to smile.
"Mommy why apologize to Daddy so much? Mommy has something wrong with Daddy?" ken's protest suddenly.
Ever since the boy began to understand, what he always heard from his mommy mouth was an apology. Whenever her mommy chatted with her daddy, the word sorry was almost always spoken from her mommy lips.
Since Ken was born, Riko was the first person who always faithfully accompanied Dara. Accompany him in difficult times. Many people think they are a couple. But no one knows, even though they live in the same bed but they do not sleep in the same bed.
They were even in different rooms. It is bounded only by the walls separating.
"Mr ..." Dara was confused to answer Ken's question.
After giving birth to Ken, Dara decided to continue her studies at one of the top universities in the city of B. Shortly after he completed his strata 2 study program, he immediately got an offer to become a lecturer at the campus where he studied.
Dara realized, she could not continue to depend on Riko and troubled the man. He also has to think about the future of Ken, his only son. All this time, as Ken knew, Riko was his real father.
"Oh yeah, Ken, want Daddy to go to school?" bargain Riko for the sake of shifting the topic.
"Later Daddy late. Let's get Mommy aja," said Ken. Then finish the breakfast by drinking a glass of warm milk.
"Yes, if so, Daddy went to work first. You are diligent in learning it. Let's get pinter." Riko got up from her seat, approached Ken and kissed Ken's head.
"His Mommy is not Dad yet," exclaimed Ken stopping Riko's steps who had just swung.
"Not kissed."
"Generic ... Uhuk ..." Dara choked on the bread she was chewing. While slowly beating his chest, he grabbed a glass of juice. Then gulp it until it's gone unceremonious.
Duh! This little boy! He could talk like that.
Dara could only get upset. Riko could not hide her happiness. Until a faint smile was imprinted on his lips.
"Ken, are you done with breakfast? Let's go yuk," Dara hurriedly got up from her seat.
Ken got off the chair. Then he approached Riko.
"Daddy, Ken left for school first huh? Now, kiss Mommy first" Ken said.
Holy hooch!
This little boy!
Dara got even more wrong and even nervous as Riko slowly started to approach.
How else, the child's way of thinking is like an adult.
"Ken, Daddy's in a hurry. Daddy left first, huh?" Riko tried to avoid the little boy's orders.
Same thing with Dara. He tried to avoid. But Ken, still insists on seeing Riko kiss him.
"Ken often see it on TV like that. Daddy kissed Mommy before he left for work" Ken said.
"If you don't, Ken won't go to school. Meningan Ken play at home," the little boy's sulk while bending his pouty face.
"Okay, okay, yeah. Now, Daddy kissed Mommy" Riko finally gave up. He brought his face closer slowly.
Dara's still down. He was both nervous and ashamed of the situation. How could Ken ask for such a strange thing.
Gently, Riko grabbed Dara's chin. Pressing her slowly until Dara's face lifted. He gently landed a kiss on Dara's forehead with his heart pounding.
While Dara who was made nervous was half dead, she tried to close her eyes. There was a strange swish in the chest as Riko kissed her. Dara just doesn't know, I don't know what his swish is. All he knew was that Riko had helped him a lot. It was only natural that he felt bad about rejecting the man's kindness and gentleness.
When the kiss is over, two pairs of eyes accidentally meet each other. Stare at each other, with hearts pounding.
Ken smiled at Mommy and Daddy staring at each other. Then it passed leaving Riko and Dara still staring at each other.
.
.
After driving Ken to his school, Dara rushes to campus by ordering an online taxi.
On campus, the faculty meeting will begin. In that meeting room, the Dean of the Faculty began to lead the meeting.
After a few minutes of meeting, someone suddenly entered the room. The Dean was greeted kindly.
"Come, please sir," said the Dean.
Dara looked down, coolly replied to a message with Riko who despite being busy serving patients, still had time to chat with Dara via chat.
A tall, well-built man smiled in greeting the Dean's hand. His good looks were evident as he smiled. It made the female lecturers amazed to see that charming smile.
"Sorry, I'm late. I think the streets of this city have no traffic. But I was wrong" said the man. Which made Dara stunned that second as well.
The voice was very familiar to his ears.
"It's okay Mr. Arsenio. The meeting just started. Oh yes, please sit."
The man gave a glance. And stopped right in one empty chair next to Dara.
The man hurried to sit next to Dara. Making Dara suddenly nervous half to death.
"Oh yeah, Miss Andara, can we start again?" asked the Dean because Dara was still down. As if not paying attention to the meeting.
Unpleasant with the Dean, Dara finally raised her face.
"Yes, sir, please."
"Become?" exclaim that man.
But Dara refused to turn away. Suddenly his heart was beating faster. The voice was familiar to his ears. Because the owner of the voice, who else if not Kai.
