Who's he? Is he her lover? Why are they so familiar?"

"Master Rumi!"
"Rose?"
Rumi approached a beautiful girl named Mawar.
"Why are you here? Then who is he?"
"He's my son, sir?"
Rumi looked suspiciously.
"Yes, he is my son from my relationship with Mas Adrian."
Rumi is still looking at she.
"Mas Adrian, did not know that I gave birth to this child, because I once came to his house, when I was in my second month of pregnancy, but he told me to abort it. Moreover, Mas Adrian's family considers me a temptress."
Rose took a deep breath to hold back her tears.
"Continue?"
"I don't want mas, he's my son, only my son. He's not an illegitimate child, but my relationship with Adrian is illegitimate, I'm really stupid, bro. Crazy about his good looks to plunge me into the valley of humiliation."
"War, your decision is correct, you must not run away from your responsibilities, your son is not at all guilty."
"Mr. I don't care, if my son asks who his real father is, maybe I'll show him. He has a right to know, but I just want my son to never ask about his real father."
"May I carry him?"
"Yes, sir."
Rumi is holding Farhan. The toddler looks very calm and comfortable, he feels cool to sleep.
"Mas, shall we sit there, shall we?"
"OK."
They began to sit in a cafe near a city park.

Pov Khadijah.
"Dijah, my friend went to the cafe, I swear I'm still sick!"
I should have used a quiet week for lazy activities, but unfortunately there was Sera. My super noisy best friend apologizes.
Already a layman, uh, he was playing sneaking into my room. Surely Hasan and Ridwan have fun playing the game.
"Dijah, please let's go to the cafe we usually hang out, I'm still stuffy."
"Well, Ser. Are you taking Fabian or not, your new girlfriend, Suho."
I'm really lazy, want to sleep.
Sera tore my body that started in the comfort zone.
"Ser, you just take Fabian!"
"Fabian is on a date with Kiena."
"Impossible, tuch child is still single, Kiena is just a friend."
Sera showed Kiana's instastory who was having dinner.
"Heem, never mind. They fit so what else to do?"
"Dijah!"
"Ouch Hasan's voice, what else is going on?!" I grumbled.
Hasan came into my room without a knock.
"What's wrong, Can?"
"I'll bring your car, because mine is still being serviced."
"Ah, but Sera wants to take me out, so what should I ride?"
"Online taxi!"
"Where are you going, Sich, Can?"
"Find the wind!"
"Looking for the wind?? What if my farts smell like heaven!" Ceplos Sera
"Heaven's wind to you, to me hell's wind that can kill me!"
Sera also looks disheveled.
"The key!"
"It's on my study table, take it."
After taking the key Hasan immediately slid, whether he said he wanted to get some wind.
"You bastard, Can. His hobby is just wandering!" I swear.
"Well, Jah. I'll bring the car, calm down."
"Forget that you have a car."
"Yes, right. I am often picked up by my brother, you know that my favorite sister is afraid of being kidnapped."
"Ah, sometimes I envy you have a brother like Bagas. You can be a private driver."
"Yes, Bang Bagas has always been possessive of me, maybe yes, because I am his only family. Since my parents died in that accident, he has loved wearing it more and more. In fact, Imelda, who is his lover, has always been jealous of me, and he asked I made my own brother avoid."
"He doesn't have a brain, maybe! If Hasan has a girlfriend like your brother's boyfriend, I've already decided, I ordered Hasan to break up. It's easy for him to break the defense between brothers."
"Calm down, ma'am. You don't have to be emotional."
"Don't bother listening to it."
"Instead of you darting, you better take a shower there, you smell like garbage!"
"Anjay, you said I smell like trash, so let me sleep again."
"Sleep well, want to make a blind map on your bed sheet?"
"Damn it, you Ser."
"After you are very difficult to invite, do you not care about me anymore?"
"Duh, Ser. I'm really lazy!"
"Don't be lazy, who knows when we go out to meet Rumi."
"Rummy?" I repeated. "How could he hang out at the cafe? The one he's hanging out in the mosque!"
"You don't have to be gassy, ma'am. Yes, who knows God will bring you together in the scenario."
"Ser, can I come with you?!"
"No!" Reject me automatically.
"Dijah, I asked Sera, not you? Why did you even answer!"
"Yes! No! You stay at home!"
"You're gasping for air, Dijah. Be careful, you could have a stroke."
"You swear at me?"
"Egg...."
"Go there, I'm lazy and sick of you Ridwan!"
I kicked Ridwan out.
"Yeah, I'm not coming with you."
"Poor loch, Dijah. Let him come to be our driver."
"Yes, I'm sincere to be your driver, really."
"Whatever," I said.
I stepped into the bathroom to take a shower.
In the bathroom...
I was pensive, and daydreamed about Rumi, my dream lover. In fact, his name is always etched deep in my heart. Really, I admire him, because of his morals.
I turned on the shower faucet, after I stripped off all my clothes, then I took the soap, and rinsed it.

Pov Sera
I've been waiting for Khadijah for almost 30 minutes, she takes a long time to take a bath like a princess from the palace.
"Well, it's still not long!"
"Hey."
The sound of the shower gurgling, I can only answer "Heem" like Nisya Syaban.
I'm actually a little bored called waiting, but what's the point of waiting, if you don't wait, your child will even get lazy.
I'm trying to fiddle with my cellphone, checking IG, I see a photo shoot that doesn't wear.
Fabian took a photo with Kiena, it really made the atmosphere hotter. The air-conditioned room is still hot.
"What are you doing, Ser?"
"Looks like your room's ac is off, Jah."
"Dead?" Khadija repeated.
Khadijah checked the air conditioner in her room, in fact it was fine.
"Hadeh, the AC in my room doesn't turn off, maybe your body is still in a period of feeling expansion," Khadijah said looking at my cellphone screen.
I was just petrified.
"Fabian, Jah."
"Fabian?" Khadija's eyes narrowed.
"Yeah, he's with Kiena."
"Until when did you love him secretly?!" he said pressing each word.
I was just silent at that time in silence.
"Before you were too late and lost him?"
I was just silent in silence.
"I like him, Jah."
"I like to talk, not just keep it under wraps."
Khadijah started to dry her hair with her hair dryer, after giving her hair vitamins.
"How long have you been waiting? How long have you been?!"
I remained silent, even though I felt that Fabian had never seen my love. All I know is that Fabian is only in love with Khadijah. And, Kiena is just an outlet.
Love is actually simple, but what makes it complicated is only the perpetrator of the love.
I exhaled roughly. I don't feel willing, if the man I like is with another woman. On the one hand I realized that I was nothing to him.
"Sera, wake up! Remember he's nobody to you, you're just a flower bud that doesn't interest him, or you're a little star among the shining stars! Be aware of yourself! Awake!"
I tried to be strong, trying to hold back the disappointment mixed with the pain and the taste of nano-nano candy.
Just a fool, expecting someone who can never love you, you are only part of the earth's thinnest invisible layer. Just imagine if only, the heart could choose its harbor, but unfortunately I'm stuck with a one-sided love, this is more painful and fractured than a broken heart or breakup!
I started shaking my head. And, dismissing the feeling that is really sickening, if love could use logic, maybe it wouldn't hurt this much! the heart aches. Once the pain reaches the core, it's really annoying to be involved in love.

Pov Author.
Central cafe, three people enter it.
"Dijah, I want matcha greentea."
Khadijah's gaze shifted to one direction.
"Who is she? Is she her girlfriend? Why are they so close?" Khadijah muttered.
Khadijah could only hold the tightness in her chest, she tried to remain calm. "Is this a reality?" She thought.
