Dewa and Alyra were dating for about three years. They have been in a close relationship since Alyra was in High School while Dewa was just starting college.
Their relationship is quite harmonious. Alyra was not only a girlfriend, but also like a sister to God. Until the time has come to an end because of an incident.
Alyra kissed another man right in front of the God who accidentally caught them. It was not once that the Gods felt Alyra was lying about their relationship. Previously God had also seen Alyra among the men. The man who kissed Alyra's lips in the presence of God.
"God. If you would have listened to my explanation. That's not real at all. I'm not cheating, I just love you." Lyra cried while staring at the photo of herself and the ancient God. Alyra still and will always keep that memorable photo.
"You've got a girlfriend, Wa." Alyra spoke softly while rubbing the wet end of her eyes. "Your boyfriend's mala?" ask her on the photo of the God she was looking at right now.
Alyra was eager to explain everything to the Gods. But at that moment the God was very angry with him. The god was not even willing to pick up the call from her, nor blocked her phone number.
Regrets always come too late. Lyra regretted not preventing her boyfriend from kissing her forcibly. The man loved Lyra very much, but Lyra only loved God.
Mistakes made by Alyra made God turned into a man who likes to change courtship, he was never serious again against other women. That's what Alyra knows about the gods.

The god had just helped Mala clear her belongings from the hospital. This afternoon Mala was able to return home. Of course Mala is very happy because the Gods will also stay in her house until Mala is completely healed.
"Sister. I missed kayaking first. When we were neighbors." Mala picked up the God-given bunny doll and put it in a suitcase.
The god only smiled as he rubbed Mala's hair.
Since then, the gods have been quieter as if they were thinking about something. It made Mala curious, what exactly is God thinking right now?
"Sister. How did you get me, I was talking. You're fucking me!"
The gods immediately focused on Mala. His mind had split because of Alyra's figure which made him shocked.
"Sorry Honey. My sister was just thinking about something. Don't squander dong. Or do you want to kiss my sister like that?"
Huh considering that honestly made Mala upset. Both of them were forced to stop their intimacy earlier because of the sound of knocking on the door. Apparently the one who came was a hospital nurse.
"No. It's not safe here." Mala shakes.
"Keep, who's safe where's dong?" asked the God while raising his two eyebrows while moving it.
Mala chuckles. "At home" he whispered.
"Times?" whispered God right in Mala's ear.
"That's my ticklish sister!"
God laughed as he pinched Mala's cheek. "You are brave now. Ngajakin Brother intimate. You still have pain."
Mala throws lips. "It's healed."
"Oh. Yes, if so, my brother went back to Indo."
"What is that?"
"And Mala said it was healed. Brother's here only until Mala's healed."
Mala fell silent and closed her eyes to God. "If Mala does not need to heal. Let Brother keep here."
The gods laughed again. "Honey. Deh gemes. Brother stays here, until Mala feels strong enough for Brother to stay."
"What's? Really Brother?" Mala was surprised but also very happy.
"Yes. Brother's on college leave for Mala. Promise me yes, Mala don't get sick anymore. Brother felt a lot more pain, when Mala was sick."
Mala suddenly sad. He certainly did not want his God brother to feel pain. "I'm sorry, Mala was wrong."
God shakes. "No Honey. Mala is not wrong. The point is Mala has to promise to take care of her health, okay, sweetie?"
Mala immediately rushed into the arms of the Gods while nodding her head repeatedly. "Yes, Mala promised, Brother."
"Good girl's. Love you, Sweety."
"Love you too, My Lovely."
Their smiles continue to expand. God hopes his decision is not wrong. He also hopes that after this Mala will become stronger and ready.
At least they have to wait for the next three years.

The gods have arrived at Mala's house. It feels different, this is not Mala's house in Bandung. The design of the house, the atmosphere is certainly not the same as their adjacent homes in Indonesia.
As neighbors. Both are very harmonious to this day. Even if there is a problem, they will certainly soon overcome by realizing each other's mistakes.
As lover. The gods always try to keep up with Mala who is very young. His decision to make Mala the person he loved so much he never once regretted.
But suddenly the shadow of the Gods past came again. Alyra, why did she appear in the life of God by becoming a new friend of her lover. Right now God only hopes Alyra has forgotten all the events of the past.
"Okay Tan's. The gods will take care of Mala," nods the Gods.
Delia smiled knot. "If there's anything you call Auntie. Maybe Aunty came home late at night," she replied.
"Every Aunt, don't worry. It's safe with God."
"definitely. That's why I believe in you, Wa. Then Auntie goes first. I'm waiting in the car" said Delia.
"Be careful Tan,"
After Delia left. The god entered Mala's room. The girl was standing in front of the mirror. The god approached Mala while watching what Mala was doing in front of the mirror.
"Again what?" ask God.
Mala. "Let's see my face. Am I ugly now?"
The god frowned. "Who said that? Where ever Mala's an ugly sister."
Mala chuckles. "It's just fear. Mala doesn't want to turn her back on Mala."
Where the gods might turn. It is precisely the God who is afraid if at any time the two will separate. Maybe, in Korea, there will be many who like Mala later.
The god walked towards Mala then hugged Mala from behind until the reflection of the two was seen in the mirror.
Mala looked up, then the two stared at each other with a glare.
This alone makes the gods do not want to be separated, do not want to be far apart. Then how the two will be far apart, and indeed they have to go through later.
"I'm scared, Brother." Mala was still staring deep into the eyes of the Gods.
"Fear what?" The god rubbed Mala's cheeks while continuing to look at her.
"Fear Brother is gone, afraid we are separated and do not know each other. Feeling awkward for each other. Like a stranger."
"Why do you think that? Until anytime you will not treat you as a stranger, Mala."
I don't know why. Strange indeed, but Mala felt different things. Like something is going to happen in the near future, between him and the Gods.
Mala turned around and immediately embraced the God.
"I don't want that to happen either. I'm afraid I don't want to be a stranger to you. I don't want to stay away, change. I just want to be Mala to God."
The god rubbed Mala's hair slowly while sighing deeply. God hates to admit it, but he feels the same way. There was no doubt in his heart to Mala. But the Gods felt that the two would undergo a lot of trials going forward in their relationship.
"Whatever happens. Mala enough to believe that no matter how big brother behaves. If even Brother turns awkward. It won't change my feelings for Mala."
Mala hesitated. But how? If both are awkward it will still be sad. Don't let that happen, her heart.
"That can't happen, brother. Mala is happy with sister. Only Big Brother can make Mala happy,"
The god flanked Mala's cheeks and then kissed Mala's forehead until the two noses stuck together and lasted a while in such a state. Gods feel such deep affection, but in a relationship it takes mutual trust.
"Sister believes Mala. Mala also has to trust Big Brother, okay?"
"Yes, Brother." Mala simply nodded while closing her eyes.
"Mala must take care of her health, take care of herself as long as you are away from her brother. Don't cover anything from Big Brother, because Big Brother wants to always know whatever happens to Mala even if we're far apart."
Again, Mala just nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
Slowly the God's palm touched Mala's cheek while rubbing it gently. The other hand pulled Mala's body until the two were not spaced apart. Another kiss landed on Mala's lips from the Gods. Mala's legs moved backwards, as did the God who slowly advanced a few steps following Mala's footwork.
Mala's body slammed slowly onto her bed. Then the kiss was released by the gods.
I don't know when else the two could feel the warmth of chatting like that again. Which is clear in a long time, in the future, not necessarily they will be able to feel it.
Mala smiled, then grabbed the two cheeks of the God and re-magined them. The gods were on top of Mala's body, still pressing their kisses deeper and deeper. Presumably this was what his parents feared, if they continued to be close together.
The kiss of God stopped, ending with a small kiss on Mala's forehead and Mala's nose. "You sleep, rest. Your older brother is here," he said he did not want the activity to develop further.
Mala nodded with flushed cheeks. "Yes, Brother. But don't go anywhere, promise?"
"Nobody's not going anywhere. You're sleeping, honey."
"The embrace of Mala."
The god immediately hugged Mala and lay down next to the girl. "Sleep yeah,"
Mala looked at the two eyes of the God in her arms. "If it could be like this all the time."
God smiled. "How can you, just be patient."
"Mala is always patient for Brother, for us."
