Did You Know?

Wildan was shocked to hear the broadcast. He then opened his eyes and saw Galuh already standing in front of him. It seems that the girl just came home from work. He glanced at the watch on his right wrist, one o'clock less.

"What are you doing here, Mom?" Galuh repeated his unanswered question.

Wildan smiled wryly, ignoring Galuh's question. He closed his eyes again, thinking that he was the only one there.

"Are you ignoring me?" ask Galuh, upset because the question is not answered.

The atmosphere was quiet, there was no sound, because Wildan still remained unmoved. Galuh sighed, deeply. He then sat on the bench opposite Wildan. He seemed to feel guilty.

"I'm sorry...."Galuh said, bowing his head. "It's not that I ... I didn't mean to...." Galuh spoke irregularly, because he was confused what to say. "Tomorrow I receive a salary, I will repay my debt to you."

Wildan still did not react to Galuh's words. He really enjoyed the night in that position as well. What he felt was peace.

"I'm really sorry. I'll work even harder to pay for everything. So ... give me a minute. I promise not to run away."

The night is getting colder, the sound of crickets chirping behind the grass. Wildan enjoyed the rhythm, which made him feel peace.

"I ...."

"Can't let me listen to the rhythm of the night wind?" Wildan finally spoke up after being silent for a while. His eyes glared at Galuh. "you are so noisy." Wildan glanced at Galuh who gape at him.

"Oh ... sorry ... I thought—"

"Don't always think before proving directly, okay?"

"All right. I'm sorry."

Quiet atmosphere again. Wildan closed his eyes again while looking up at the Dark Sky. The wind blows on the skin, the cold begins to be felt.

"You know what? I never felt the sound of crickets in my apartment. I want to enjoy it tonight. So ... give me a minute."

Galuh nodded understandingly. He then fixed his seat position, with eyes that did not turn away from the figure of the rescue man who was sitting in front of him. A man who does not talk much, but is kind. At least that was the judgment that stuck in Galuh's heart after this very short meeting.

"Not that I—"

"Shhh ...."

Galuh clenched his jaw again, when Wildan reminded not to make a sound. Let the man enjoy the night. He wanted to enjoy the beautiful view in front of him.

Wildan's tall body silhouette was struck by the moonlight. The man's face shone like a marble struck by light. His high nose, strict lines on the jaw and the curvature of his lips make Galuh spread an admiring smile.

Galuh then remembered when Wildan smiled, which showed dimples. In three meetings he saw the dimple only twice. That means, the man in front of him is very difficult to smile.

"Sorry, I just heard about your father's condition."

"Hmm ...."

"I really don't know."

"Hmm ...."

"Is it that bad?"

"He hem."

"What ... I mean what can make him heal?"

"Married."

"What?"Galuh who actually knew the answer still felt surprised by Wildan's blatant answer.

"You know what?"Wildan opened his eyes, and positioned his seat opposite Galuh. His eyes stared at the girl.

"What?"ask Galuh, doubting.

"The only thing I'm afraid of in this world is one thing."

"What is it?"

"Lost the most precious person in my life, for the umpteenth time."Wildan then smiled, wide. And for the first time, Galuh can see two dimples on Wildan's face.

"I think everyone is like that too," Galuh avoided, feeling bad about the situation.

"Therefore, I will do anything so that the precious person in my life can last longer."

Galuh increasingly silent, not daring to look at Wildan's face. He was uncomfortable with the situation. Wildan then got up from his seat.

"Come in. It's getting late."Wildan ruled. "You shouldn't be home so late. Dangerous. Don't worry about your father."

Wildan walked two steps, when Galuh called him. "Where Are you going?"

"Go home. Thank you for letting me spend the night here. It seems that I started much better."Wildan smiled again. "Come in, it's cold."

"Be careful on the road," whispered Galuh, softly.

Wildan waved his hand at Galuh. Then his figure disappeared into the car. Galuh walked closer to the roadside, watching the departure of a black sports car that passed leaving a thin smoke.

"Why daydreaming? Thinking what?" Wenni broke Galuh's Daydream. He stammered.

"Uh, no, really. Don't think about anything. What the hell were you thinking." Galuh dodged.

"Hmm ... don't lie. Your mouth can lie, but not your eyes, Galuh."Wenni frowned. "Story, dong. I'm happy, cook you hard I pretended not to know?"

Galuh giggled amused. He grabbed his friend's shoulder as the door opened. Wistara appeared from behind the door with a tired face.

"Good afternoon ...." Galuh held back his greeting looking at Wistara's gloomy face. "What do you want, Ma'am? Cah kangkung hotplate again, or ...."ra

"Iced Americano double shot." Wistara ordered a drink in a deadpan tone.

"Okay, thirty-two thousand five hundred rupiah."

Wistara took out a fifty thousand bill, with a blank look. Galuh observed Wistara's expression. The young doctor was usually very cheerful and invited him to chat, but this time he was more silent.

"Here's the change, man."

"Thank you."

Wistara immediately took a sitting position in one corner of the store. His eyes looked out at the shop which showed a very crowded road.

"Why, tuh, our customers?" Wenni suddenly surprised Galuh.

"I don't know, not as usual."

"Don't want to know?"

Galuh then took a creamer that was forgotten to be handed over to Wistara. While the shop was still quiet, he walked slowly closer to the man.

"Doctor, This is the cream." Galuh put the creamer on the table, then was about to turn to his place when Wistara suddenly muttered something.

"Alas Mas Wildan." Wistara speaks as if to himself, but clearly audible in the ears of Galuh. "He has to give up his position as president director if he has not been able to find a wife."

Galuh was silent, not moving from where he stood from the beginning. He was just thinking about what Wistara had just said.

"Such is the fate of being the successor of the family. Unfortunately, I don't have the same skills as Willy."Wildan sipped his Americano without looking at Galuh. "Can't someone he expects fulfill his wish?" The man with the glasses spoke again. "Can't you help him?"

This time Galuh just realized that Wistara had just talked to him. He thought the young doctor was muttering to himself. When Wistara looked at him with pitiful eyes, Galuh just realized it.

"What did the doctor say, anyway?"

"I know, so ... please, help my brother."

"Don't talk about things I don't know, Mom."

"I will be grateful if you are willing to help him." Wistara's face is so friendly now looks grim. There was sadness in his eyes. "Can't you marry him?"
