Ryu stands on the edge of the balcony. His eyes looked far away somewhere. Occasionally his face implied pain from wounds that had yet to heal. Ryu, completely unaware of Edward's presence. His mind was really traveling far away.
"Ryu.." said Edward.
His hand slapped the boy's shoulder. Getting the treatment, then Ryu refocused his attention on Edward, his father.
"Pa.." said Ryu.
"How are you doing, Ryu...?"
"Much better, Pa.." said Ryu as he sat on a chair in the corner of the balcony.
"Thank God. Papa was worried to see your condition, son.." said Edward as he followed Ryu sitting on the chair next to him.
"Papa need not worry. Now Ryu can run with papa..."
"Haha"
"Yes, Pa. How's Arumi doing?'
"So far it's improved. Moreover, there is a husband who always takes care and pours affection towards her"
"Thank God.." Ryu said in relief as he sighed.
Ryu eyes stared far away. I don't know what was his attention at the time.
"What are you thinking about? Papa noticed you often fell silent. Daydreaming..."
"Pa.." said Ryu lethargic without seeing Edward.
"Yes." said Edward.
His face was slightly serious in response to Ryu's words. Edward was convinced that something was bothering the boy.
"It's not better we go back to Japan. I'm more comfortable there. My efforts are there too..."
Deg.

Edward looked at the face of the boy. Apparently he looked at the cause of Ryu's current discomfort.
"Pa...?"
Edward breathed. He leaned his head against the chair and looked at the white ceiling.
"Papa's trying to understand what you mean. But.. isn't it impressed that you ran away?"
"Y...! that's not what I meant. I just feel more comfortable there. Moreover, my efforts are also there, Pa.." Ryu said a little emphasis.
"What about papa? What about your sister?"
"Papa should be with me. We'll be together like before. We're going to this country, to find Mama Yuki and Arumi. And that was done, even though the results were a little disappointing. About Arumi, I'm not worried. There is Mirza Adyatma, her husband who will be her guardian angel. Papa's willing to be with me back to Japan?"
"certain. Papa would love to be with you..."
"Really...? Papa doesn't mind being separated from the other papa's daughter?'
"Of course not. Our distance is only limited to a few hours of time. So if the miss hit, papa just fly to meet your sister." said Edward with a smile.
"But I do mind...!"
The voice of a woman filled the air at that moment. And of course, it immediately became the center of attention.
Just a few steps away, the sweet girl had stood before father and son. He turned, grabbed Edward's hand and kissed him reverently.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Om." said Vanya.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, New... Where, honey?"
"From home, Om. This is Vanya's favorite food Om and Ryu's brother." said Vanya.
His hand raised the paper bag he was carrying. Smile also decomposed from the thin lips that were daubed the nude color. Then Vanya put the paper bag on the table. The tail of his eyes glimpsed Ryu's face which had been cold since.
"Well.. bother this Vanya loh"
"No bother, Om...Vanya serve ya, Om"
"Ah, Vanya here let Om who will ask bi Par who presents it" said Edward while reaching for the paper bag.
"Ah, yes..Om" said Vanya rikuh.
"No need to be confused. We're family. Talk to Ryu. If there's a problem talk about it.."
"Y-yes...Om" said Vanya increasingly clumsy.
"Stop doing good to me, Him. Because I don't deserve it" Ryu said.
"No need to bother giving an assessment of every single thing I do. Because I do it happily for the people who deserve it"
"But I can't get back"
"I don't need a reply, brother..."
"I know, but.." Ryu said.
He said he stopped when his bead met the shade of Vanya's eyes that were staring at him.
Deg.

"Sister.if what you mean is to repay my love, then I want to ask you one thing. What does it mean that you want to go back to Japan to avoid my love?"
"His.you're good. There must be many men who are suitable and will love you wholeheartedly. I originally intended to ask you for a chance to reverse all this. But after I thought, how evil I was. After I fell, I used you to treat my wounds. I can't stand it, Him. You're a good girl. You're my sister's best friend..."
Vanya.
.
.
.
"That's right brother went to escape..."
"No, His...I just don't want to hurt the people I love"
"If so don't go. Prove it..."
"Sorry, Yes. I can't. I gotta go. My efforts are there too. It's just my stopover here..."
"What about your sister, Arumi"
"Arumis. I'm sure he'll understand..."
"Aren't you sure?"
"Yes.." said Ryu briefly.
His head nods even though it looks not steady alias impressed gamang.
"Is there no place in my heart for me...?" vanya said with a trembling voice.
Vanya herself was a little surprised, where did the courage to reveal the question come from. His face was also felt in the cherubuti ants hundreds in number.
Meanwhile, Ryu looks deep into Vanya's beautiful eyes. Heart's throbbing. Not because of his love, but especially his guilt is more controlling all the feelings that exist.
"Sister.." said Vanya.
There were a lot of clear feathers that poked both of his eyes. Overview of the disappointment that was ravaging the beautiful garden in his heart.
Ryu looked far away. Where not. His mind wandered back.
"I've tried, My. But I can't." Ryu said later.
"Did you love that bad girl too much?"
"No...! But this pain is hard to cure. And I don't want you to be the cure. It's evil if I do it to you..."
"Then heal your brother's wounds. Then give me a decision..."
"Come, New....It could take a long time"
"I'll wait. I am also young. Heheh.." said Vanya ended the laughter even though there was a little gamang there.
"If so. Let me go back to Japan first..."
Vanya.

Meanwhile, a pair of middle ears listen to every word study that fills the air at that time. He stands right behind the wall where Ryu and Vanya are.
"Hopefully Vanya managed to prevent Ryu's departure. I really prefer to be here in this city. Because in the city I can meet Yuki Hirata, even in the cemetery. And there's my daughter I just found" Edward's inner.
