Sincerity (Guineness of Heart)
Story telling.

Fariz entered his apartment unit in shaky steps, he immediately dropped himself on the sofa, closed his eyes and massaged the throbbing base of his nose.

Moments quiet with his position, he then heard the door behind him open, followed by a knock on the stick that rhymed with the footsteps of the owner of the room.

He straightened his body and looked at Ami who was walking towards him with the help of the cane that he had been given this morning.

"Is the stick comfortable?" fariz asked when Ami's distance from the sofa he was sitting on was only two steps away.

Ami smiled and nodded as the answer to the question, as usual the direction of his eyes staring in any direction.

"Mas, are you home?" Ami asked back and continued her steps carefully.

"Yes" said Fariz briefly.

"Have you had lunch?" ask Fariz.

"Already" said Ami who is now sitting on the sofa next to Fariz sitting.

"Mas, want to watch tv again yes," guess Ami who already knows the man's habits, if the holiday.

"Yes," replied Fariz, although he actually did not have the mood to watch at this time, but he still agreed because he could see, if the woman next to him looked bored.

Fariz started to turn on the television and connect it to the internet to watch it over the internet. He deliberately looked for films that genre action, romance, because according to his observations for several weeks, he can see if Ami likes films that genre.

"What's this about, Mas?" ask Ami when the movie has started.

"It's about mob members who are hostile to each other, but the son of the mafia chairman is in love" said Fariz who had seen footage from the film first.   

"Wouldn't it be a complicated story" said Ami with a face that had been facing the television.

"Why don't you want to watch it?" ask Fariz.

''Ami want to, Mas," said Ami quickly.

Fariz did not answer, he only began to focus his views on the course of the film, while occasionally explaining the contents of the film to Ami who always asked about the course of the film.

For an hour they had watched the film, until the film ended but Fariz's mood was still not back to normal, the meeting with Cindy was still disturbing his mind.

"Why, Mas? Is there a problem?" ami asked who could hear a few rough breaths from the man beside her.

"There are things that are disturbing my family" replied Fariz.

"What problems? What is the problem of work, Mas can tell stories, usually if something disturbs my mind, I always tell others to feel more plong," said Ami.

Fariz did not immediately say he was just silent, weighing in his heart, whether he had to tell the woman next to him so that he could be a little prong.

"But if you can't tell the story don't have to be forced, Mas." Ami turned her face towards him and smiled.

"It actually has something to do with my mother" Fariz said.

"Is there a problem with his mother, Mas Fariz? What's the problem?"

"My mother, asked me to meet a woman earlier."

"Keep what, Mas Fariz likes that woman?" ami asked with an uncomfortable feeling when saying it.

"I find it difficult to adapt to new people, but seeing my enthusiastic mama with our meeting, I suspect that if she had expected much, so that I could relate to her further," bright Fariz with a glaring look in front of him.

"I'm confused, on the other hand I don't want to force myself to keep in touch with that woman, but on the other hand. I also don't want to disappoint my mother and my family."

"Did Mas try to talk to Mas's family about what Mas felt. It is possible that with Mas saying it, they can understand and leave all the decisions to Mas," suggested Ami.

"My mother tried this several times and I always refused, now I can't refuse it anymore, I don't want to disappoint her again" Fariz said, rattling his hair in frustration.

"How about if Mas just try to live it, who knows between Mas and the woman there is a match later," Ami's advice that is not in accordance with what his heart says.

He felt, there was a slight sense of unwillingness, if the man followed his advice, but he could not provide any other solution either.

Hearing from what Fariz said, the man clearly did not want to disappoint his family who had been hoping for him.

"Now, I can't think right now about what I should do now" Fariz said back on the couch.

"You know, they're not actually my family."

Hearing the words that came out of Fariz's mouth made Ami twist her body, until it was more facing the man.

"So, they're foster parents?" ask Ami carefully.

"Yes" said Fariz briefly.

"Certainly, where are the biological parents, Mas Fariz?" ask Ami carefully.

Hygiene ... Fariz did not make a sound in response to Ami's question.

"If you don't want to tell me it's okay, Mas, sorry if I have to ask a lot of questions," continued Ami again.

He understands this may be Fariz's privacy, so the man cannot possibly tell him who is a stranger in Fariz's life.

"My birth name died when I was about six years old and it was that family that took care of me, gave me love like a family, so I didn't have time to think about my sadness in the past."

"But I have never given them anything at all and now, if I don't follow their wishes, am I among the ungrateful, and they ask the truth for my good."

Ami did not let out his voice, he just silently thought about what Fariz said it was, it turned out that Fariz's life was not as perfect as thought.

"I know how Mas feels now, on the other hand Mas is not ready to open his heart and establish a relationship, but on the other hand, Mas is not ready to open his heart and establish a relationship, Mas also definitely did not want to make the Mas family sad again with Mas's refusal."

Fariz nodded to justify what Ami said, had Cindy been willing to obey what she said, it probably wouldn't have been that difficult.

However, Cindy refused to be in touch with him, she was not sure she could avoid it, if Cindy really liked it.

"What do you think, the woman liked Mas at the first meeting?" ask Ami again.

"I couldn't confirm it, but when I asked him to say that he didn't like me and didn't get in touch, he insisted on denying it" Fariz said.

Ami nodded in understanding, she could conclude that the woman must have liked Fariz, at their first meeting.

That means, he should be able to control himself and his heart so as not to be too deep in admiring the man, so as not to make the situation more uncontrollable in the end.
