At The Bus Stop

Intan doesn't want to.

She thought that it would only make her wound widen again because of the humiliation, and she would also leave Sarah's house so that Irwan would not follow her.

As long as Irwan knows where Intan is, the man will not give up on making Intan continue to doubt her heart.

Intan is already hurt enough, if they can be together how can she live in that luxurious house with her in-laws who don't approve of her relationship with her child at all.

Like going abroad without a passport. Illegal.

Intan doesn't want to be grandiose, she just wants a partner who can respect Intan, her family approves and their status doesn't differ much.

A dream, she thought –Intan could become the wife of a rich man who accepted his status as a single parent.

Even Irwan, there is still rejection on the part of his family.

Fostering a household is not only Intan and Irwan, but the families behind them are also involved.

Intan staggered along the streets of the capital.

Her steps dragged with sobs that still shrill adorn the streets.

She doesn't care about people who are still active in the warmth of the bright city lights.

Even the crimes that often act against women at night can't scare Intan.

She just wanted some peace before he went back to Sarah's house.

She deliberately deactivated his cellphone so that Irwan could not contact him and find out where Intan was.

Along the way, she only remembers her time with Irwan, which Intan must forget and close tightly.

The next morning she had to get ready to turn over a new leaf, like the one she had opened after her divorce with her ex-husband.

In her mind now there is only the future of her child-- Karin who she must fight so that he doesn't suffer the same fate as herself.

Karin must be more successful, happier and also no man should hurt her like her ex-husband, Karin's own father, treated Intan.

Karin's life must be better than that of her parents. There is no impossible word, Intan must be able to and she certainly can.

Intan had walked far enough, she then stopped at a deserted bus stop.

She vented his anger at the destiny that God had written.

Intan wails, her tears overflow, no one can hear the pain of Intan's heart and the sound of her crying is loud enough that no one will hear it.

At least a few people from a distance could see Intan's confusion, who was now hiding her face behind her palms, which were covering her tears and kept coming out.

However, Intan didn't realize that outside the Bus Stop… on her right there was a person who was standing still, staring at the street and several flashing lights hypnotizing her daydream away from consciousness.

The man was reminiscing about his childhood with his mother who had gone somewhere. No news, and just a farewell letter.

"I'm sorry Arsya, I have to go. One day if Allah still allows us to meet, there will definitely be a way for you and mom to get back together. Be obedient to your father, go to the right school so that you will be successful in the future," said the mother in her letter, which is still being kept by Arsya, along with several messages that were inserted there.

"Remember, get up early for the morning prayer. Don't watch ghost movies, you won't be able to sleep anymore. No one else will be able to hug you, Arsya… and most importantly, don't be rude to women." His mother really knows how her son—Arsya's temperament, is.

He had a hard time getting up even though he had set the alarm. If his mother didn't wake him up, he wouldn't be able to attend school because he was too late.

In addition, Arsya can't sleep at least when she dares to watch a ghost movie – and of course, plus his mother doesn't like it when Arsya is too indifferent to his female friends.

Even his only female friend is Hana. A girl who is a little tomboyish but sweet is the one who always dares to tease Arsya and also takes her to school by bicycle.

"Arsya! Let's go together, let's go!" take her every morning.

His mother was always happy when the neighbor's son took his son.

But Arysa always showed a disapproving response, and snorted in disgust.

"What the hell is Hana, asking. I want to take the car, ah. Lazy to use a bicycle," said Arsya peeking from the window curtain.

His mother can always persuade Arsya so inevitably Arsya also rides a bicycle to school, but some moments when her father has not left for work, Arsya is always defended and finally Arsya goes to school by car.

Arsya always sticks out her tongue when she gets in the car and Hana who is pedaling a bicycle is overtaken by his.

From a young age, Arsya has always been proud of his father because he always obeyed Arsya's wishes.

But even so, it is his mother who is always there and knows very well how he behaves. His mother's unexplained departure made Arsya very angry.

He questioned. Why? Why his mother left for no apparent reason until his father brought another woman to his house.

Had thought that his father was cheating on his, but Arsya believed his father's words more that it was his mother who was cheating on his and ran away without thinking about her responsibility towards her child.

Arsya is very vengeful, but the feeling of longing for his mother is more dominant.

Hearing a woman crying, at first Arsya thought she was a ghost waiting for the bus stop.

However, after being investigated, it turns out that a woman is being frustrated.

Arya didn't want to disturb her.

Arsya continued to drink canned drinks that were so fresh flowing down her throat. Eliminates thirst and also makes the feeling calmer.

However, Intan's cry distracted her focus.

His thoughts were muddled, there was no longer any element of silence that he could feel tonight.

Arsya was sure that the woman she was seeing must be upset because of love, he thought sadly.

Fortunately, Arsya is a tough man – who doesn't fall in love easily, let alone cry for love.

"That's a really loud girl. Are you not ashamed to cry at the bus stop? Doesn't she know I'm here?" snorted Arsya.

He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but since then, Intan's crying has not stopped.

Bad thoughts in Arsya's head began to arrive. The woman looks so confused, Arsya is afraid that she will kill herself later.

Arsya thinks she should motivate her, even though he himself is not someone who likes to be given advice, especially when he is angry.

But, Arsya had to make the woman stop crying.

There was still one can of drink in his hand that had not been touched.

Arsya's initiative approached her and handed her the canned drink, offering her to calm down. Even though she was doubtful, afraid of being mistaken for a bad person and trying to approach… but Arsya's heart was still moved to get closer.

It reminded him of Hana who had been crying, venting to him.

Hana loves a man, but the man doesn't love her and prefers her friend who is more fashionable and girly, much different from the tomboyish Hana and the soul of the Adam challenger.

"Here! Drink it so it's fresh," said Arsya, approaching Intan, handing her the canned drink.

Intan looked up, she was afraid that Arsya was a bad person who gave her an adulterated drink that had been drugged and later had bad intentions for her.

He could have robbed, and even worse snatched something more vital than a woman.

"Sorry, thank you for the offer, sir," replied Intan trying to remain polite.

She wanted to leave immediately, but Intan was also afraid that the man in front of her would be offended.

He also seemed like a good man judging from his neat and uncluttered clothes.
