The girl nodded slightly, with an increasing smile. They then continued to eat, and soon went to the hotel for a rest.
The smooth wind became clear, penetrating the innocent skin of Abel's arms now curled up on the white bed. She sat on the edge of the bed as she watched her beloved come out of the shower.
"No shower?" Dhani asked while approaching Abel.
"Shower later," she replied.
Dhani sat directly next to his girlfriend. He embraced Abel so that now Abel's head rests on Dhani's arm.
"I'll go straight back to Surabaya tonight," said Dhani.
Abel turned, saying, "that was fast. I wanted to go out with you."
"Should we go now?" asked Dhani.
"Don't you say you need to meet a client?" Abel said, disappointed.
"Taking a little walk first wouldn't be a problem. There's still time," he replied.
But, Abel did not answer and returned to rest her head on Dhani's arm. The girl flung her arms around Dhani's stomach, and she loved her very much even though they were separated by age.
Dhani gave Abel what she had never felt before: comfort. Dhani's attention, his love, and his warmth.
"I'll take a shower then," Abel said.
As if he was unwilling to let go, Dhani looked at Abel, who was now on her feet. "Come with me to Surabaya, okay?" he asked.
"But I'm still a student, honey," Abel replied politely.
"You can change schools. We can get closer, I could see you more often," said Dhani, coddled.
"Just one more year. I'll go to college in Surabaya later," that girl added.
She released her hand from Dhani's grip slowly. Then, I rushed to the bathroom. While waiting for Abel to finish her bath, Dhani tried to contact his client and told him that he would be a little late to see him.
Didn't take much time in the bathroom, Abel comes out with her natural face. Looked fresh and smooth so Dhani kept staring at her.
"You don't have clothes to change, why did you take a shower?" asked Dhani while Abel was wiping her hands with a small towel.
"So that I didn't feel hot, I was sweating. I'm afraid you don't feel comfortable walking with me," the girl answered with a spoiled smile.
Dhani also smiled slightly. "You don't have to think like that, you're always pretty," he said.
After flopping her school uniform, Abel put on socks and shoes. Not forgetting to trim the suntan, straight-shouldered hair. She was ready to spend time with her lover.
They're heading to the nearest department store from the hotel. Dhani was seen watching around, the man's face tense all along the way. While Abel was enjoying his brief time with Dhani, she was just so spoiled and her sweet smile grew.
"What do you need?" Dhani asked as they pulled up on the second floor of the mall.
"I donned anything, Baby," said Abel curtly. Yet, her gaze was on the branded bag, inside a glass display case.
"Well, what are you up to?" Dhani's question this time made Abel develop his smile even more.
"I'm going to pick a bag, is that okay?" said his lover in a soft voice.
"Okay, just pick one. I wait there," Dhani agreed.
Abel is so happy to have a boyfriend like Dhani. For her, age was not a problem. Abel just needs a man who is warm to her, loving her, and replacing the figure of parents she never had.
Just a few minutes to go through the bag collection there, suddenly Dhani comes up to Abel. He spoke as he fixed his gaze on the cell phone in his hand. Dhani seems to be busy and in a hurry.
"Do not belong. I'll take you home after this." The footsteps felt away. Abel wondered why her boyfriend suddenly drove her home. Abel wanted to be together before the distance separated them again.
"Why are you taking me home all of a sudden?" said Abel.
"My meeting schedule has sped up. If that is not the case, of course, I'd love to linger with you more. You're okay, are you?" explained her boyfriend.
"Can we meet again after a meeting?" Abel approached. She's acting so spoiled by hugging Dhani.
For a moment, Dhani froze there. It's warm and very comfortable. Especially when Abel stroked his hair.
"I'm straight back, Baby. I'll come back when I have time, okay?" he said.
Even though she didn't want Dani to leave again so soon, there's no way Abel could have stopped him. A grown man has a tremendous responsibility to his family. People said that Dhani was also the first child who needed to carry a considerable burden. The first child must always look strong, especially in front of his mother and siblings.
Abel hoped that their love would have a happy ending at the wedding. While he was finishing school, Dhani was ready enough to be a good husband.
"Let's go outside," said Abel.
That handsome man cradled Abel's small shoulder, and they left the hotel to go to the apartment where Abel and Lia lived.

Then motor vehicles began to flood the streets of the capital Jakarta. Despite the day starting darkening, there is already plenty of activity, and people are running out of time to work to make their lives better.
The beautiful girl's long legs were also seen exiting the car, followed by the whole beautiful body bowed slightly to avoid injuring her head.
"Go in first, Baby?" said Abel, in a standstill with her head down, staring at Dhani who was budging at the wheel.
"I can't, Bel. People are waiting, is that okay?" said that man with a smile.
Abel nodded slowly, her lips seeming to frown with his eyes down.
"Then be careful," she said.
"Okay. Don't look so grim, we'll see each other again later," said Dhani very gently.
A small smile from Abel's lips grew, which Dani's words have always been so soothing. How could her guilt last? Dani was always able to get through.
