Cinta Tanpa Dosa

Seorang ibu sedang berang. Sudah 1 jam anak bayinya merengek tidak karuan, mengantuk tapi ingin main. Sebotol susu sudah habis.

"Maaaaa!!" Anak itu memeluk kaki ibunya.

We choose the seat next to the salad mixing station downstairs. Soft instrumental music accompanies the busy mumbling kitchen. Our salads come in no time.  Her salad consisted of lettuce, carrot, crouton, some parmesan shreds, roasted chicken, an...

Happy
