Alingga has already come to her meeting place with Ane tonight , He came earlier than the hour of their agreement . He had also prepared some gifts for Alina .

Imagine how he would have a family dinner later . ahh .. can this be called a family dinner ...

"Sorry for a long time waiting for "Alinga to wake up from her daydreams hearing the voice she had long awaited greeting her . But when he saw who came ', Alingga's face turned sour .

"No .. " Mood Alingga was destroyed instantly, he saw Rio holding his son's hand .

"sit down" said Alingga coldly

the four of them sat around the table, after ordering the food the atmosphere felt awkward . nobody spoke, only the babbling Alina sounded . "Papa .. after dinner, can Nana have ice cream ?" alina asked Rio

"Sure ." Rio answered

What ?

Papa ?

His son called his enemy papa ?

Alingga stared intently at Ane , with a face that seemed to ask 'what does this mean '

"em .. it's Lingga , because Rio and I are getting married soon . hence Nana used to call Rio papa "Ane said awkwardly

"Then I ?" ask Alingga cynically

"you too the papa "Jawab Ane went awry

"There's no way he's got two papas !" Alingga tried to hold back her emotions, here was Alina . she didn't want Alina to be afraid of her .

"Why ? if he grows up later he will also understand " Rio said

"He'll understand if his mother didn't marry his father, what do you mean !" sindir Alingga .

their conversation stopped 'cause the waiter came to bring their order .

After that they had dinner in silence 'more precisely Alingga who was silent . He is upset to see the interaction of the three of them, Ane occasionally teaches Alina how to eat . While Rio was in charge of giving Alina a drink or wiping the mouth of Alina who was exposed to the rest of her food .

What the fuck ?

Why are they the ones who have family dinner !

Alingga was frustrated, he breathed his coarse breath immediately he took the parcel he had bought earlier for Alina . thrust the parcel to him "Alina this is for you" said Alingga smiled . "thanks for "answer Alina with a mouth full of food .

Alingga got up and said cynically to Ane "If you are serious about talking about our problems, you can come back to me . without bringing an outsider " . After saying that Alingga went to leave them .

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

SHIT .. SHIT .. SHIT ..

Many times he hit the wheel of his car , out of annoyance .

He's got everything ready, but that damn Rio fucked it all up .

He drives his car, now he will wait for Ane near his house alone .

Almost two hours he waited for Ane to come home near his house, until a car was parked in front of Ane's house . then Ane got off by holding Alina . waiting until Rio's car left , Ane went into the house .

Soon he drove his car, to the front of Ane's house .

Tong Ting

Alingga rang the bell of Ane's house, not how long the door opened . featuring a middle-aged woman who is none other than bi Sumi .

"i'm looking for Ane " answered Alingga

"Who's bi ?" ask Ane's voice from inside

"someone was looking neng Ane" said bi Sumi, half yelling . he waited for Ane to come and see his guest, then bi Sumi left .

"Check .. ?" Ane was astonished to arrive just to see the arrival of Alingga in her house

"you're not gonna take me in ?" ask Alingga . Ane did not answer , he simply shifted from the sign door allowing Alingga to enter .

without further ado they immediately sat on the guest sofa .

"what's up ?" ask Ane

"our conversation is not finished yet, it has not even begun "thus Alingga . Ane throw away the face "do you not just go away , before we discuss any "cynical Ane . After that come bi Sumi brought you two glasses of drink .

until bi Sumi leaves them, they start the conversation again .

"I know why you left, everything Dara said was a lie . Pregnant what , even to this day I have never touched it "Alingga said firmly . "all that was past , no need to discuss it again "reply Ane unpleasant .

"i have to talk about it, you don't know how I'm like crazy looking for you Ane . You don't know what I've felt for almost six years "soon Alingga, "I know .. ! I feel it too ! I admit I left because of my stupidity . but I was also tormented not. .. "reply Ane shrieked at the end of the sentence .

Alingga immediately approached Ane and rested in front of her, while holding both hands Ane . "then we returned together yes "pinta Alingga , Ane shook her head as hard as she held back her tears in order not to come out "I can't, we're already getting married " .

"You may visit Nana at any time , I will also change all of Nana's birth data . listing your name as her father , but I cannot go back "revealed Ane .

"do you love him ? " tanya Alingga was shriveled, her face bowed at both knees Ane .

Ane was silent for a while before answering "yes . I love her "Ane replied

"can you let Nana call me papa ? it's up to Nana to call her what she calls her, but I ask Nana to just call me a papa "

"don't be childish "

"i only ask for one thing, that's all . even if I get married someday ', only you'll be called mama by her "

Why does Ane's heart ache to hear the words Lingga who is getting married, is what else .does he want Lingga alone for the rest of his life .don't be selfish Ane , you even told her that you love Rio . but that she purposely told Lingga not to expect it anymore. Then let Lingga be happy with another woman someday . With Sharon maybe .

"Ane .. I just ask that, if you still want to marry her . I'll accept it, remember Ane's your own choice . !" alingga said firmly

after that he got up to his feet, and passed away . after peeping Ane . He left Ane who was still dumbstruck on the sofa, just like that .

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Rio threw his body on the mattress, why when his marriage got closer to Ane he even felt uneasy . I don't know what he thought all this time , honestly he loved Ane .

But he does not feel an emotional attraction to Ane, is his decision right ?

He really wants to protect Ane and Nana . Since the first time he met Ane , he felt pity . After knowing Ane and Alingga's relationship, he purely wants to be friends with her .

Then until Ane who went from Alingga , and saw the state of Ane . he felt more pity . like a brother . Why did he propose to her ?

Probably because of fatigue .

Tired of waiting for the uncertain .

But he also did not want to hurt Ane, it felt like something was impaled in his heart if he saw Ane cry or suffer .

Is it love ?
