Lie

Langit was still in the last place he was with Green, not yet intending to go back to his house, all Langit had to do was stare at the passenger seat next to him and imagine Green was there. Besides, Green was very different from most women out there, Green's face and behavior reminded him of someone in the past, someone who once filled his heart. Langit smiled at the thought of Green's face, but that smile immediately faded away with a flat expression.

The phone alarm of Langit was ringing, so it was time for him to come home because he had to do something. Langit drove and left the place, the next day or anytime he intended to return there to simply apologize to Green for making the woman uncomfortable and frightened.

 "Green.., a beautiful name, as beautiful as its owner." Langit talked to himself with a smile at the thought of Green's face.

His imagination of Green's face suddenly disappeared as his phone vibrated, the call came in from Kalila—his mother. Langit breathed annoyed, Kalila would be talking about marriage, and it was very upsetting to him.

 "Lang, where are you?" Kalila asked after the call went through.

 "On the way, Mom," Langit answered curtly.

 "Which way? Kenangan way?"

 "On the way back home, Langit just drove Cherry's friend home."

 "You lined her up till home, right? You didn't take her down in the alley, did you?" Kalila spoke in a raucous voice.

"Cherry's friend wanted to get in front of the alley, Mom, my car couldn't get in, the alley's too narrow."

 There was a commotion over the phone, as though Jerry — the father had taken over Kalila's phone, the man said something that made Langit shaking his head. "Only the handsome face, drive  the girl in the alley. Lang, you know, the narrow one is the nicest?"

 After saying that, Langit could hear Jerry's moaning because it looked like Kalila pinched the man's waist, the normal thing Kalila did when she was upset with jerry.

"Why did you call me?" asked Langit. If it was not his mom, it was certainly Langit would have ended up the call long ago.

 "Lang, I've had a daughter of my friend who wants to get married. Do you know, all my friends are showing off for her daughter-in-law, when will you give me a daughter-in-law too?"

 Exactly true, Langit would have to discuss it at the end. Actually, he had made it clear and asked Kalila not to discuss it over and over again.

 "Later, Mom."

"You always says later and later again and again. Mom also want as my friends , go to salon, shopping, cooking with my daughter-in-law."

 "You can do with father, Mom," said the Langit, still trying to relax even though it was a huge desire to shut his father's wife mouth.

"Those uncles are hard to get away with, Lang, everytime is meeting although they're rich enough."

The next voice Langit heard was Jerry's. "If I am not rich, Mom can't bring her daughter-in-law go to salon and go shopping with her either."

 "Oke Mom, i'm done, the sky is closed, the sky is driving," the sky finally got tired of overdoing dad and his stump.

 "You always be like this if talking about marriage then avoid it," Kalila snorted annoyed, and Langit heard it. Langit was well aware of her mom act, and at this moment she was very upset that he always gave no definite answer when his mom spoke about t.

“Mom…”

"All right, take care of yourself. Next week your dad and I will be in Jakarta, I miss all of you, my children."

"Yes Mom, take care of your health, I love you.”

 "Yes son, I love you too."

After ending up the call, Langit gave his focus back on the streets. Don't know how many times Kalila asked him the same question and Langit has always avoided it. Langit do not know for how long he denied the needs of his heart. His heart needed a

occupant, yet Langit still did not want it, perhaps to an indefinite time.

Alta panicked when Green asked him about the beach, he looked at his phone and saw w******p's status being shared a few hours ago. Alta was sure he has secured his status update so Green could not see it, but why did she suddenly ask that question? Who told Green? He would figure it out, all that matters now is that Green trusted him.

 Alta left the room and found the woman he had been with for less than a year cooking. Alta hugged the woman's waist tightly. "Honey, what are you making?"Alta asked with so much love.

 "I make your favorite soup vegetable." the woman replied softly while hugged him.

"Honey, thank you so much," Alta gave her a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.

 "You're welcome, I love you more. Al, I need to talk to you about something." Suddenly the woman's tone became very serious, Alta took her around her waist and carried her on the sofa.

It had been a month they had decided to live together in Reina's house, Alta and Reina had been married sicretly without Green knowing that.

 Reina looked Alta right in the man's eye beads. "How's Green? As soon as possible she should know about us, Al, I don't want to keep this up. My heart aches every time I hear you and Green's calls, not to mention your chat. I can't stand it, Al." Reina cried and Alta hugged her tightly.

"Would you mind to be patient? I'm trying to find the right time to tell Green."

 "You love me, Al?"

 "I love you so much, Rei." Alta answered, gazing Reina in the eye.

 "You love Green?"

 Alta stayed silent, before this time Reina always asked the same question and Alta never answered it. Today, Reina had to hear everything from Alta's mouth, she wanted to hear the man's honesty feelings about Green and herself.

 "Al...," Reina called in when Alta did not respond at all.

“Please answered it”

"Honey, you should get some rest, it's getting late."

 Alta was about to leave Reina but she grabbed the man's arm. "You should break up with Green immediately."

 Alta turned away from Reina, she could see Alta's unwanted gaze on his face as if he had not be ready to take Green off. "Rei, I promise I'll break up with Green, but it is not as simple as it seems, you have to be patient," Alta said with his tired voice, he explained things to Reina many times, but she still did not understand.

"How long do I need to be patient, Al? What are you waiting for?"

 "Reina, darling, I wait for the right time, give me at least a little time till Green's birthday, next month."

 "Don't tell me you're going to Jakarta next month to meet Green?"

 "Reina. . . " Alta touched the back of Reina's hand while gazing at the woman with a begging look.

 "No, don't expect me to let you go."

Afterward Reina brushed Alta's hand against the back of her hand, she looked into the man's eyes with a faint gaze. "If you don't break up with Green soon, I'll go after her, I'll tell her everything. I'm sure once she knows the whole truth, Green will leave you ending up the relationship."

 "Don't Rei, I'll tell Green everything."

 After saying that, Reina left Alta. Alta ruffled his hair roughly, and pretty soon he had to break up with Green.
