"Are you tired? Want to rest?" Bhishma asked when he heard Kanaya start to gasp for air.

"Yes."

"Let's rest first," said Bhishma.

The man bought a drink for Kanaya, Kanaya was sitting limply on the side of the road. Kanaya watched every passerby, her mind flashed back to Hamdan. The more he tried to forget it, the image of Hamdan kept coming. Kanaya can't deny that forgetting is a tough task for her. Kanaya's gaze stopped at a man standing right in front of her eyes. Kanaya decided to approach the man.

"Hamdan!?" calls Kanaya.

The man turned his head, it was someone else and not Hamdan.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

Kanaya felt embarrassed, she decided to return to where she was originally waiting for Bhishma.

"Here, the drink." Bhishma gave Kanaya a drink.

"Thank you."

The woman immediately drank the drink Bhishma gave her, she calmed herself down. Ten minutes passed, and they continued the exercise that had stopped. Bhishma told Kanaya many things. Bhishma also told about Villa. As it turned out, Vilia was already waiting for their arrival at the Malang town square.

"Why would he want to meet me?" Kanaya asked when Bhishma told her the reason why Vilia was waiting.

"There's nothing wrong, right, if he wants to be friends with you," replied Bhishma.

Kanaya was silent, actually, she also wanted to know what Vilia was like. He is also curious about Bhishma's dream woman.

The morning air is cool, the remnants of dew are also still left, even if only a little. The trees are towering and the flowers are blooming so beautifully. It was able to make Kanaya's heart peaceful and also peaceful. The town square has also been visited by many visitors. Starting from lovers, family, and friends. Spacious city square with a shopping center. There are also many people passing by offering the food they sell.

"You wait here first, I want to contact Vilia," said Bhishma.

Kanaya nodded her head, she sat down on the green grass. The woman opened her cellphone and looked at her social media. The lady updated her WhatsApp status.

'It's beautiful this morning.' fill Kanaya status with a city square image.

Ara's best friend immediately saw the status, then Ara called Kanaya.

"Which side are you, Kanaya?" asked Ara during the phone call.

Kanaya finally turned the call into a video call.

"I'm here, Ara."

"Okay, I'll be there."

Ara immediately ended the call and immediately looked for Kanaya when she saw her best friend alone. Even though Kanaya hadn't finished talking to Ara. It didn't take long for Ara to find Kanaya sitting alone.

"Finally we can meet here without us making an appointment," said Ara while hugging Kanaya. Kanaya returned Ara's hug and gave a smile. In Kanaya's heart, the woman hoped that her best friend would not know that she would meet Vilia, Bhishma's girlfriend who may have become the most beautiful ex. Many things are told to Ara, about all the hallucinations that are in Ara's mind. Kanaya listened without any concentration. After that, Ara said goodbye. "It's time for me to go home, you want to come home with me?" asked Ara. "I still want to be here," answered Kanaya. Hearing Kanaya's answer, Ara walked away from Kanaya's presence. Kanaya's stomach was starting to growl, it was time for her to have breakfast. Instead of waiting for Bhishma who never came, Kanaya finally went to find breakfast. There are many kinds of food for sale. Kanaya chose her favorite pecel rice. The woman waiting for orders while sending a message to Bhishma, he told her whereabouts now. The message has arrived and is gray ticked. "Here's the order." The seller's mother put a plate of pecel rice on the table. "Thank you." Kanaya has been waiting for more than an hour since Bhishma said goodbye. However, there has been no news from Bhishma. Kanaya is not worried about it, it's just that she feels that she is being tricked by Bhishma. He became unsure that Vilia would want to meet him. When negative thoughts appear in his mind. His phone rang, indicating that he had a message. "You can go home alone, can't you? Villa and I are still traveling." Message from Bhishma.

The message irritated Kanaya Bisma had the heart to leave Kanaya alone in the Malang city square.

"Who does he think he is? He just likes to do whatever he wants. Even though I'm not the wife he wants, he should respect me! Why is he like that anyway?" Kanaya grumbled annoyed.

Kanaya immediately finished the food she ordered, the woman intended to leave and return to her house. When he wanted to pay for the food he ordered, it turned out that he had left his wallet behind. Kanaya confused about what to do, she tried to calm down first. He had to think of a way to pay for what he had eaten. The food seller asked Kanaya to pay immediately because she had finished her food. The woman looked around, there was no one she recognized. He took a deep breath, intending to tell the truth if he forgot to bring his wallet. However, Kanaya was surprised when a man came to help her.

"The woman's food, let me pay for it," said the man whose voice was familiar to Kanaya's ear. The woman could only see his back without knowing his face. Kanaya also chased the man who helped her.

"Master, thank you!?" Kanaya shouted.

The man's footsteps were getting faster, even though Kanaya had not yet thanked him more politely.

'Who is that man? Why does his voice sound familiar to my ears?' thought Kanaya.

Her mind flashed back to her husband who didn't have those feelings. Kanaya's shopping money was not given. He decided to go home with disappointment still in his soul. In his heart, there was already something he wanted to tell Bhishma when he got home.
