The girl who had just graduated from high school looked unblinkingly at the sight of the grown man before her.
He looks authoritative and very educated when talking to his father.
Belva. He did not care what the handsome man was currently talking about with his father.
Since then, the focus has been on that man. Stooping his chin with both hands. Smiled to herself and bit her lips sweetly as she accidentally looked at the man.
That man is Gilang. The handsome widower was twenty-nine years old yet still looked like a man who was only twenty-two years old.
In contrast to Belva who seemed happy when he saw Gilang, Gilang himself actually felt uncomfortable being stared at in such a way by Belva.
The girl told by her father that she just graduated high school yesterday.
Belva is beautiful, Gilang admitted that.
But unfortunately he is still very young. And Gilang was not interested in liking him.
Gilang wants a mature woman to be a companion after her divorce from Micah two years ago.
Unfortunately, it was only a few weeks after Micah and Gavin's wedding that Gilang was able to move on and accept the fact that Micah was no longer his.
His? No, Gilang never had Micah.
Gilang only binds Micah in a marriage without love. Until the time that makes Micah choose to sue for divorce Gilang because one by one his mistakes in the past are revealed.
Never mind, it's all over. Regret will not make Micah his wife again. Now Gilang must accept the fact that Micah is now his sister-in-law.
Almost every day Gilang is presented with the intimacy of both. Not to mention the hot night she had heard that night. Ah, Gilang doesn't want to imagine what happened.
He did it even though he was not with Micah.
"Belva, we can go now."
Darmawan, Papa Belva, Javanese man but bule-faced, said but not heard by Belva who was engrossed in looking at Gilang's face.
Darmawan to feel sad with the actions of his son. "I'm sorry Belva, Lang" he told Gilang.
Glazed smiled thinly. "No problem, Om."
"Belva, we're leaving now."
Belva didn't hear her father's words.
"Belva!" The call of Darmawan rises an octave. Not rough, but a little hard. Plus by nudging Belva's arm slowly. Only then did Belva realize from his daydreams would Gilang.
"Why, Pa? Want to mate Belva with Kak Gilang, yes?" belva ngaco.
"Sst... Indiscriminate you. Shame on papa. But that was papa did not invite you. Lefs go. Papa Sama Gilang has finished the meeting."
"Kok, it's over, huh, Pa? Belva is not satisfied see Kak Gilang," Belva's whine is getting stronger Darmawan shy.
There was no other way but to pull Belva's hand so that Belva would move from his seat and take Belva away from the front of Gilang before Darmawan was made even more embarrassed by the behavior of his only child.

"She's beautiful, boss. Boss doesn't have a crush on him?" ask Juan, secretary Gilang.
"Beautiful the hell, pretty, Ju. But he's still a kid."
"It's precisely because it's still a boy, boss, it's still plain. It's good to experiment with a new style."
"Your mouth, Ju."
Juan laughed out loud at Gilang's words. Juan believes that his words must have disturbed Gilang's feelings at this time. Either his words that say that Belva is beautiful, or Belva who is still innocent so it can be invited to experiment with new styles.
"Damn it!" the curse of Gilang was met with laughter by Juan. Juan believes his words really disturb Gilang's mind.
🌻🌻🌻
In recent weeks, Gilang has often returned to Surabaya - Jakarta to run a new project owned by his father entrusted to Gilang. In collaboration with Darmawan who was Anton's friend during college first.
Looking back between Darmawan and his wife, their age seems to be so far adrift.
Darmawan his father's age. His wife looks very young. Moreover, the child they have is only a Belva, who has just graduated High School.
That means it doesn't matter if Gilang likes Belva.
Gilang do not want if it must be bothered with its potent nature later.
"Sister Gilang!!!"
Gilang stopped his steps after hearing the cry of a bell that he was so familiar with. No need to look around, Gilang was sure it was Belva.
There's no need for Gilang to wonder why Belva is here in Darmawan's office.
"That's good for Belva to be here, yes, sister. Otherwise Belva knows there's Gilang's sister here. Papa didn't say Gilang's brother wanted to come here."
Not nothing, Belva has been so bad by holding Gilang's hand. Take notes, without Belva doing it. Though now both have become the center of attention of employees in the office Darmawan.
"Sir Gilang wants to see Papa, huh? Just go, yuk."
"Yes. But don't go like this."
"Why?"
"Then look at Mr. Darmawan's employees."
Although looking reluctant, Belva let go of Gilang's hand just like that. Hope Gilang the girl chose not to be with Gilang to go up to Darmawan's room.
But the girl continued to follow Gilang until Gilang got into the elevator.
"Kak Gilang has been a widower for a long time?"
Missy choked on her own saliva. Belva could have asked him that question.
"Not jealous to see ex-wife as sister-in-law, brother?"
Belva's question was not answered by Gilang.
"Wikah Belva yuk, brother, let's not expect to fail to move on. Belva is ready for a young wedding, really. Is it not tired of being a widower? No one sleeps, no clothes, no one is waiting at home, no one asks when brother comes home, no one is invited to take a walk. Isn't my sister tired?"
Both eyes widened perfectly. Just this time there was a girl of Belva's age who blatantly invited her to marry.
What does she think marriage is? Is getting married just like what he said?
Not only do I like you and then we get married. But where marriage is brings two different minds together. Unite the vision and mission for home life.
This spoiled girl like Belva knows what marriage is all about? Thought Gilang underestimated Belva.
Luckily the elevator opened before Gilang could answer Belva's words. "No need to say anything to your father about your words earlier," said Gilang before entering the room Darmawan.
"Yes, Brother Gilang wants to talk to both of me first, huh?"
Gila exhaled her breath with a bit of roughness. Finally he nodded his head so that the girl immediately shut her mouth and did not say anything more in front of her father later.

"Mama's son has come home? Sit down, yuk. There's a friend of Mama's and her son."
If he had said that, Gilang was already convinced that Yunita would definitely match him with her friend's child.
This has happened many times with different friends. And Gilang always refused if asked to get to know more closely.
"I'm tired, Ma. Clean up first, huh?"
"Awhile, really. They also want to go home because it's been here a long time."
He can no longer refuse. There was no other choice but to follow her mother's will so that she would sit in front of two women of different ages.
Jihan the woman's name. Gilang had seen his name and face on the list of young women who became successful entrepreneurs.
Although just pioneering, but his modern clothing brand is already famous among the upper middle class.
"Said your Mama, you're new from Surabaya, huh, Lang?" ask Mama Jihan who Gilang considers just a pleasantry. Did you know from Yunita why you still ask her?
"Yes, Aunt. I went to the room first, yeah. Clean up and rest."
Although Yunita looked at him with a look of dislike and as if asking Gilang to stay seated, Gilang did not pester him.
After saying goodbye Gilang went straight up to the second floor where his room was. Also without looking at Jihan one bit.
