Love Stay Here
Does that matter?

"Well, can I ask you something?" tanya Intan one morning after all went to work.

"What does it mean, Mom?" Sekar looked at the face of his boss who was now sitting on a wooden chair on the back porch of their house.

"Emh. This is about you and Bima," said the white-shirt woman with slight hesitation.

Sekar is still waiting for Intan to continue his words. Sometimes he saw Intan a little restless. He himself was also nervous after seeing Intan's unusual body gesture.

"Please answer honestly, what is the real connection between you and my child?" intan asked by looking at the face of the village girl.

Sekar was confused what to answer but he also could not be honest with all the complexity of the feelings between them. But inevitably he had to answer with a reasonable answer.

"We're friends, ma'am," he answered briefly, looking down.

"Friends? But why do I see Bima so attentive to you as if she's your lover that she's willing to take care of you?" Intan could not take for granted Sekar's answer. He knew very well the magnitude of Bima's attention to Sekar.

"Yes, Mom is right. We've been friends since I was working at Mas Rafa's family home. Mas Bima used to go there often and we went several times with other friends of Mas Rafa. That's why we can be friends. And if why Mas Bima took care of me, that's just ask Mas Bima because I also do not know exactly what the reason is."

With great difficulty and hard thinking the girl answered Intan's question.

"You have a taste for Bima?" I was very surprised to hear that question. This is the second time I asked the same question.

Again confused as to what to answer. He simply lowered his head with his hands squeezing each other in his lap. His hands were freezing cold.

He was afraid that he might mispronounce and that it could create misunderstandings between them.

"I see you and Bima quite close if you say it's just an ordinary friend.

I think you love each other. I know my son, he's never seen a woman like you. I like you too so if you love him you better get married soon. Seeing her treatment of you scares me if you guys can't take care of yourself."

Intan expressed her opinion on what she had seen all this time as well as about her concerns seeing the relationship between the two. Even if he liked the girl, he didn't want the two to cross the line.

"I heard she asked you to get married but you refused. But I see you don't resist when he treats you specifically. I am confused by your attitude. What's the real reason you rejected it?" Intan looked at Sekar asking the seriousness of Sekar which was a plan for him.

"I have a reason I can't tell anyone," sekar replied with eyes staring far ahead clashing with the parapet at the end of the backyard with a gaze that somehow meant only the girl knew.

"About what?" Intan was very curious to know more about the two.

Apparently Sekar misunderstood all Intan's words. He thought that Intan did not like his proximity to Bima. She does not know if actually Intan wants Sekar immediately become Bima's wife.

Just wanted to get into the room to clean the scar and give him a scar-busting drug. Since his hands were able to freely move he always refused when Bima wanted to help him. He does not want to continue to trouble the people he loves. Because he knew that the man was very busy and always came home tired.

*****. ******

Bima is now busy in her study in a cofee shop. He was busy with the preparation of his participation in the exhibition of superior export products to be held in India in another week.

The superior product prepared by Bima is Robusta coffee from Lampung, Bengkulu and several other regions in Indonesia. He saw the great potential of the plantation of the citizens. Coffee enthusiasts in the world are very high and not all like the type of Arabica coffee that tastes more acidic than Robusta coffee.

Not only coffee is picked directly from the tree, but also coffee derived from the feces of ferret animals, namely civet coffee was introduced by Bima. This type of coffee is much more expensive but its availability is very limited. This makes it only provide a few products of this type.

"Bima, the goods left yesterday and will likely get there in time. What day are we leaving?" tanya Hadi Bima's best friend and co-worker.

"Goodoo. We will leave in four days to prepare everything needed during the exhibition," Bima replied as she continued typing on the computer.

"Will your future wife come?" ask Hadi again.

"My wife's candidate will restore her health first, later if it's better I will travel around the world," replied Bima with a radiant face imagining the sweet smile Sekar.

"When will the marriage, the son of the man be hanged?" Hadi mocked the friend who is still not married while he already has 2 children.

Bima breathed a heavy sigh. The face that was radiant now changed softly. "Either should it be like to make her sure of my love. You yourself know since the first time I met that girl I've put my heart on her. Many times I asked her to marry me, but she always refused. Now I hope there is a miracle that makes him want to marry me or if not I will definitely get it when I am a spinster," Bima complained to pour out her heart turmoil.

"Maybe your efforts are less than optimal. Try to meet his parents directly. Maybe with the role of his parents you can melt his stance," Hadi gave advice to his struggling sohibnya to be more eager to pursue his love.

"Oh, did you say love to her?" asked Hadi while leaning against the wall with his legs raised bent back against the wall.

Bima shook her head and it suddenly made Hadi anxious and hit the table hard to make Bima jump in shock.

"What ??? How would he marry you if you didn't say love? It's appropriate that he always rejects you, he thinks you're just playing around," said Hadi half-collared feeling very upset about having such a stupid friend.

"really? Does it matter?" Bima asked with a face that looked so serious made her best friend grow anxious and left with a murmur

"What kind of question is that? "
