New Delhi, India
Two days already Bima was in India to attend the exhibition of superior export products. Bima follows the category of agricultural products. Together with two friends Hadi and Aziz they stayed at a hotel not far from the exhibition site.
The weather is pretty hot in the summer. Bima stands on the balcony of the hotel in search of fresh air. Severe air pollution makes the air temperature sting the skin. This makes him feel at home for a long time in that place while enjoying the view of the city filled with lights.
"Hey, Bim hasn't slept?" ask Hadi who approached him after waking up from his sleep that night.
"Silky. It turns out that Jakarta is still less sultry than New Delhi. I had trouble getting to sleep tonight," Bima complained about the temperature of the air that is less friendly to the skin of Indonesians.
Although Indonesia is on the equator, it turns out that New Delhi in summer is much hotter. Of course this makes the new Indonesians there have to adapt to more extras.
"I don't think it's just the weather that makes it hard for you to sleep. It seems you miss the figure of Sekar. Righto my guess?" Temptation Hadi on his best friend.
"You can just. Nahan misses four years can, only a week can not, is it only two days, Had?" kilah Bima's.
"You know I'm more experienced than you. You should be able to be more forthright about your true feelings. Women need reassurance, not just wishful thinking. I think he's waiting for news from you, too. You live in a house, surely there will be something that feels lost if one of them does not exist." Hadi gave advice to his best friend who is still at home staring at the lights in the distance.
"I'm afraid he's rejecting me" Bima replied pessimistically.
Hadi approached his best friend and patted his shoulder gently. "You'll never know if you haven't tried. Besides I can see the twinkle of love from the look in Sekar's eyes for you."
"Where do you know that?" bima asked surprised by the words of his best friend.
"Remember the time we took a walk to Anyer beach a few months before you got in an accident?" Bima nodded slowly and looked back at her best friend curiously.
"So he looked at you full of love in his eyes. For those of us who used to date a lot of girls, understand that. I'm sure he also loves you just that your feet are very slow later even hunted taken by new people you cry kecker," Hadi mocked his friend who was very slow.
"After coming back from here, did I go to his home in Lampung to see his parents?"
"Should. You have to be quick if you don't, just wait for the widow." Hadi's words made Bima smile wryly imagining himself being overtaken by people and if still a mate he can only get his widow.
"Do you think he can also accept my flaws?' ask Bima doubtfully.
"If he is right in love, it is not a problem for him and of course you must be able to accept his shortcomings."

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum Kirana, what's the phone like this at dawn?" sekar's voice received a phone call from his sister.
"Guardawaysalam, Ma'am. Here I was told by my mother to give the same news to Ma'am Sekar to go home," his sister's voice across the street.
"Take me home, why? Are you sick again?"
"Yes, Mother. Even now he is being treated at the hospital where I work. So I must go home soon because my father also keeps going," Karina's voice sounded sad.
"Yes, Mbak will talk first with his superiors mbak want to ask for leave. Yes, you already want to pray first if there is anything to tell Mbak." Sekar disconnects his sister's phone call and then performs dawn prayers.
"Yes, God forgive the sins of the servant's parents, give healing to the servant's father. Lift disease. Give strength, patience, and fortitude for the father to live it also to us who take care of him and make it
Finish the Sekar prayer immediately pack his goods that he will bring back to Lampung. Not much just one mini suitcase and a medium-sized backpack that he usually carries when going out.
Just as a hurry up to the 2nd floor of the house to the room of Intan and Doni.
Tok tok tok tok
I knocked on the door of that room. "Who?" sound from the room. "I, Ms. Sekar," he said still standing in front of the room door.
"Dark? How come mornings call us, Pa?" ask Intan to her husband. They just finished their morning shower. Doni just shook his head not knowing. Intan immediately opened the door of his room to find out if there was any need for what early in the morning Sekar had called them.
"Sorry, Mom, I want my father's permission to go home sick," Sekar asked Intan for permission.
Hearing that all stared at Sekar hoping for more explanation.
"So early in the morning my sister told me that my father entered the hospital in Bandar Lampung and if he was treated there it means the pain is quite severe. My mom and dad asked me to come home soon. How, Mom am I allowed to go home?" Sekar explained the problem that happened to him.
"Well you can go home, take care of your father.If there's anything tell me. I'll have Satya drive you."
"Thank you, ma'am but I can go home on my own I don't want to trouble anyone. Then I will immediately get ready because it will leave this morning as well," Sekar refused Intan's offer and soon passed to get ready.
"Breakfast first, now!" exclamation Intan. "Yes, Mom!"
he continued running towards his room and Intan just shook his head.
"Mother, Mr. Sekar said to go home first, yes. Assalamualaikum." Sekar said goodbye by kissing the back of Intan and Doni's hands.
"Walaikum greetings carefully on the road if there is anything immediately tell us," Intan said as he hugged his beloved assistant.
The girl nodded then walked towards the fence gate of the house.
Tin tin !!!
Sekar was surprised by the sound of a car horn that was now parked right in front of the gate of the luxury house. A man sitting behind the wheel was smiling at him.
"Where are you going?" ask Sekar to the man who turns out to be Satya.
"I'll take you, let's get in the afternoon quickly" Satya said as she opened the car door for Sekar.
"Tap it far away, Sat," Sekar could not believe that Satya would take him home.
"Who would take you there?" Satya looked to frown as if she did not understand.
"Lha, did you say that?" ask Sekar wonder. 'Didn't he just say he wanted to take her home?' think in the heart.
"I can just take you to the terminal. If I take you to Lampung, later there I was killed by your future husband," chirped Satya suddenly made Sekar surprised to hear Satya's words.
"Who?" tanya Sekar was curious because she did not have a future husband.
"Yes, who else is it, Bima?"
