Because of you and the Warm Sweet Tea
Splitting Does Not Mean Forgetting

After the administrative affairs at the Ambassador's office were over, the time had already indicated the lunch hour. Then the woman and the man went to an empty park bench to enjoy the provisions that had been made.

In a state of silence, the woman opened the provisions that had been prepared this morning. The woman's eyes continued to stare at the stock she was preparing without daring to look at the man before her. While the man just silently looked at his bowed woman.

The lunch went quite awkwardly. Since leaving for the Ambassador, the woman in front of him did not invite the man in front of him to chat. Surely the man was eager to invite him to a chat, but he was still a bit hesitant. So, until they had lunch it was still just quiet. The man did not even hear his lady's voice as he thrust out a small glass from the flask containing his warm sweet tea. Even so, the woman received the drink of her gift.

"So, there's only two weeks left, huh?" Ask the woman who was cleaning the place to eat and the flask.

"Yes. Two more weeks. And I'm going home." The man replied, the man showed a happy expression on his face. He was happy because finally the lady in front of him invited him to talk. Even though the woman still lowered her head.

"You'll definitely miss this food, after two weeks. Later in your country there is no longer me who prepares your favorite food."

"You sure? I don't feel like I'm gonna miss your cooking. I actually feel that you will routinely nyiapin food for me." Hearing the optimistic answer from the man, the woman did not show any expression at all. The woman still ignored the smile of the man in front of her who continued to sing.

"Lantas, why did you refuse the offer to stay for two weeks from the Ambassador? Isn't that your right?"

"I still want to spend two weeks here with you. Like the days usually. Besides, I already have a temporary residence here, which is your house."

Seeing his woman still did not want to look at his face, the man was now holding the soft chin of the woman who had already put the tableware in the bag, but the bag was still held.

Then, the woman inevitably had to look at the man's face in front of her. While the man saw the face of his woman who looked at him with sadness.

"Miss, even if I'm coming back to my country soon, that doesn't mean that our relationship will end. Trust me, we'll meet again." Said the man with his sweet smile.

"You don't dream. Who knows, you will be too busy with your own world. I'm the most temporary in your life. There you will forget about me too. Believe it."

"Because you'll be just like that little family. Those who are so sweet accept me, but in the end they leave me too. It was precisely that kind of farewell that felt extremely painful." Then the woman's eyes let out tears.

"Miss, you're crying again. You promised that you would never cry again. After all, are you really sure that the little family that welcomed your presence so sweetly can just forget about you?" Getting the question, the woman just kept quiet. He himself was not sure whether the answer was true or not.

"Miss, those who come into your life are temporary, some are forever. Some come to forget you immediately when separated, but there are also those who, although ended up separated, sweet memories remain, so they will always remember. So, it's not that a breakup means that the relationship will just end." Now the man's gaze became soft.

"Like Delon and Mara's problem. Even if you have been separated for years, even to the point of breaking up contact, have they forgotten about you? No madam. Even if you part in a vile way, they still remember you. You have not met for years. In fact, they are also very curious, how are you currently doing. That means they don't forget."

"In addition, after the excellent effect that you gave to the little family, you can even sell your paintings to the exhibition, does that mean the father of that little family forgot about you? No way, miss. The organizers are also definitely closely related to the father of the businessman. And the mother of that family, she will always remember you through the paintings you have given her. As for the little boy who was getting some valuable lessons about the painting world for free from you, are you sure that he can forget about the greatest painting teacher like you? I don't think it's possible. And maybe even your name will continue to be imprinted in his heart when he proudly admits that he has become a famous painter, as he once aspired."

"So, miss. Don't you assume we're separated because living in a different country means that our relationship is over." Then the man immediately wiped away the tears that were currently flowing on the woman's cheeks. "If we are meant to be together, there will be a way when we are destined to meet again. Just trust me."

"Lantas, if we weren't meant to be together, would you be sure that we would still meet? After all these not-so-important things in your life you've spent a year with me."

"Miss, why is your thinking so pessimistic? Try to think positively. Even though now you finally know who I am, which in fact you still do not understand my world, does that mean that one year I spent with you was a waste to me? No, madam. Not at all."

"But I don't understand at all.  It must be in your heart, I am just an idiot who understands nothing. Besides, the economy in your home country needs you far more than I do. So you should have just come home to your country and saved the fate of many people there."now the tears of the woman came back.

"Miss, does not understanding the economy and business mean you are an idiot?" The woman also nodded. He remembered how he could only be stunned when the man before him could speak so fluently about the world to Mara, Delon, and the administrator.

Seeing the answer from the woman, the man smiled lightly. Then the man immediately hugged the woman in front of him.

"Miss, your answer is wrong. You don't understand the economy and business doesn't mean you're an idiot. Your extraordinary works are proof that you are smart, but in the art world. I don't care if you don't understand my world. All I care about is how comfortable I am and how comfortable you feel when we both have our day together."
