Just take him for you
I found you

Slowly the line of people standing before him, calling out to give way to someone of stout stature who was carrying a large black jacket.

"Sir Asa?" Street lights that have begun to light up the face of Angkasa who is standing upright in front of Salma.

"Why is it still here?"

"Tu-wait for the bus," said Salma confused. He should have asked this sharp-looking man, why was Pak Asa at the bus stop with him?

"I deliver," said Angkasa while attaching the leather jacket he brought to Salma's shoulder.

"Don't bother, sir, the bus is coming soon" Salma said, taking off the jacket that was on his shoulder.

"What time do you want to be here? Look, your clothes are almost completely wet, your trip to your house can be more than an hour. You want to meet your kids with a cold and cough virus?" Angkasa insists on putting the jacket back on Salma's shoulders. She even covered Salma's head with a hoodie attached to her jacket.

Salma could only resign and complied when Angkasa led her out of the stop and walked through the rain and into the car. He simply avoided the curious gazes of the person taking shelter.

He was also embarrassed to be the center of attention, as he argued with Angkasa at the stop. Some people seem to know Angkasa, they whisper to each other and some even take out a cell phone to aim at Salma and Angkasa. Before everything happened, Salma chose to follow Space's request.

"I go down at the front intersection only, sir I will continue the journey to ride the angkot," Salma said after the two were in the car.

"For what? Very awkward." The sky looked at Salma in wonder.

"My house is far away, sir in the far corner."

"Yes I know, so I'm going to take you in so it's not too late."

"Don't you have a meeting tonight? Later late, I don't want to bother you."

"Ow if that's what my assistant has asked me to represent. The meeting is not how important really," said Angkasa relaxed.

Meanwhile, in the office of Mr. Regi, one of the producers who often work with the production house owned by Angkasa, looks Jane who is careless because she did not find the man she expected to be with her in the meeting tonight.

When going to separate in the car park, Jane repeatedly confirmed that Angkasa would attend the meeting to discuss some new projects that would come. But not far away from the Mall, he no longer found the Angkasa car behind his car.

His guess is getting stronger when Space does not arrive and the emergence of Raihan, Space's assistant trust into the meeting room.

"Where is the Space Force?" jane whispered in Raihan's ear.

"Ga know, I was suddenly told to change the meeting," said Raihan indifferently.

Feeling dissatisfied with Raihan's answer, Jane leaves the room and tries to contact Space's phone.

"Night, Mr. Asa. Why haven't you been to Mr Regi's office? I was waiting for you." Jane immediately expressed her heart as soon as Angkasa answered her call.

"I'm sorry, Jane I can't attend tonight, but there's Raihan representing me there. Has he arrived?" Space asked back.

"Already" said Jane disappointed.

"Thank God he's on time, thank you for giving me Jane's news."

"I'm on the way to get Salma home, Jane. It was raining heavily and all the buses were full, so it was better and safer for me to drive Salma home. After all it was just the first meeting, it would have no effect if I wasn't present."

"Good, sir." Jane clasped her hands on her cell phone. He felt cheated and stabbed by people he considered not a rival to attract the attention of Space.

Asa's taking Salma home? She's just a woman from the village, a widow with two children. There's no way Pak Asa is interested in him, maybe just pity.

In the car, Salma notices how Space is talking to Jane. Looks so patient, Jane also seems very attentive.

"I feel bad for Jane" Salma said.

"Why?"

Salma just shook her head slowly and smiled. He was reluctant to explain because he was worried that there was a jealous streak from his tone.

Salma's phone rang, a video call came in from her sister-in-law. As he answered it, two flushed twin faces held back tears.

"Maaa ... go home," said Cakra with still as much as he pleased.

"Yes, this is Mama's way home. Patience, honey, don't cry."

"Try if you were still insistent on waiting for the bus to pass, you can reach home in the middle of the night" said Angkasa.

"Yes, thank you sir."

"We stopped by to buy doughnuts first for the twins, so that seneng even though his mother came home at night." Angkasa pulled his car over at a famous donut shop.

"It's necessary, sir." Spontaneous Salma held onto Space's arm as the man was about to get out of the car.

"Why? Just for a second. Can twins eat too sweet?" angkasa asked after a moment of silence looking at the soft and cold hand of Salma who was still holding his hand. He tried to hold back his happy smile by focusing Salma on his question about the twins.

"Bu-not. I mean don't bother too much" said Salma stammered.

"I don't bother. It's still raining outside you just wait in the car, let me get down." The sky got off the car and ran into the donut shop.

While the waiter prepared his order, Angkasa rubbed his arm that Salma had been holding. Although only briefly, but the smooth and soft taste is still clearly felt. His lips held a big smile.

After his wife left him for good, no woman had been able to fill his heart. So many beautiful women and tares in his life every day, none of them can shake his heart.

Until one day he heard the voice of Salma filling the radio broadcast. The voice that accompanied him while on the road split the capital. The stars often order the same song. The old song is titled 'Setangkai Orchid Bulan', a song that reminds him of his late mother.

Unfortunately after Salma got married, the voice that made the opium was no longer heard. Angkasa, too, lost the appetite to order his favorite song because each song was played Salma continued to hum a little during the broadcast. His fans, too, called him by the name of Salma 'moon orchid'.

Not lost his mind, he contacted the radio station where Salma worked and asked the whereabouts of the woman who had disturbed his mind. Space finally got information on Salma's social media account.

There he first saw Salma's face clearly. But he had to swallow disappointment when he found out if the woman he was looking for, was married and even had two young twins. From there he also knew, the reason why Salma gave up his job.
