After hearing Widya's words, Nathan became more enthusiastic to accompany the father in Singapore, to help solve all the problems of Lesmana's large family company that was quite unsettling. He wanted this matter to be completely resolved soon.

After a struggle that was quite heavy and the threat that Nathan gave to his om, finally today the problems in the company was closed case. Exactly a week after Nathan and Widya last called. Nathan can return to Jakarta tomorrow.

His uncle must indeed be threatened so as not to make more trouble. Fortunately, after a long investigation and stalking, Nathan who had held a big secret of his uncle was finally able to gather accurate evidence until his uncle gave up.

A happy face can never be hidden. He always smiled when he remembered all Widya's words about longing and affection addressed to him, immediately he packed all his clothes and items into his small suitcase.

"It could be crazy of me, if not hurry to meet Widya!" As if Widya had already taken control of his mind, Nathan muttered to himself.

His hands are still busy entering all the souvenirs ordered by his twin sister and her friends. Not to miss for the heart. For a while, Nathan recalled taking the time to hunt for souvenirs in China Town, Bugis Street and Mustafa Center. There sell various souvenirs at affordable prices in the bag, but the quality is good.

After everything is neat and arranged perfectly. Nathan approached Daniel Hardi Lesmana, who had been waiting for him since then in the living room of their home in Singapore. "Yep, Dad!" take Nathan.

Daniel looked over and smiled, then kept the newspaper he was reading on the table. He stood up and walked ahead of Nathan to the outside.

With a steady step they enter a luxury car that will take Nathan to Changi International Airport. When passing the Merlion statue, which became the mascot of the Lion country. Nathan so remembered the request of his best friend—Zakir. The man asked Nathan to take a selfie with the statue as a souvenir. It's strange to ask his best friend, maybe just to prank Nathan, but Nathan still does it. He took a moment to stop by the place, to fulfill Zakir's wishes.

The Merlion statue stands 8.5 meters tall and weighs 70 tons with water coming out of its mouth, with the shape of half a fish and half a lion. It looks special in Nathan's eyes. He asked his father to take a picture of him there with the statue. After getting the photos he wanted, they rushed to the car, continuing their intention to Changi airport.

"There's a friend of yours!" daniel protested, when they were already in the car. Of course, Nathan had explained before, what the shooting session was for. Nathan can only smile wryly in response to his papa's protest.

Changi Airport departure gate, this is where Nathan and his papa are now. While waiting for boarding passes, the two men of different ages also chatted with each other. This time is no longer a serious chat about office problems. However, small talk between the child and the father.

"Papa see, Brother's been happy lately. His work spirit had also suddenly increased greatly. Until papa does not expect, you can beat your om in a short time. Then, now hurry home, there must be someone who makes papa's child so kayak gini, huh?” checar Daniel, Nathan was a little surprised by his sudden question.

"What, anyway, Pa? Usually, ‘kan also brother is always happy and energetic,” elak Nathan.

Daniel smiled, "Papa, tuh, happy to see the firstborn in the family papa happy, energetic, and pinter. It's like it's supposed to be young people, but this sudden change of yours must have been the reason, right?” seductive the papa again, while patting his son's shoulder gently sign give support. A passionate smile was still faithfully slanted on his lips.

Nathan thought for a moment, he was too embarrassed to say about his feelings to Widya. More he dodged it. "Nathan was just eager to help Papa, and felt anxious about Judah. That's why Nathan was happy when he beat him," he said with a grim smile, then said again, "Doain aja, may Nathan always be happy, yes, Pa!” Nathan stared fixedly at the middle-aged man who still looked handsome and handsome, although in his hair there were already a few strands of white. He was proud of that figure.

"Amale ...." Daniel nodded for sure, “Oh, yes, one more thing. For a while papa tipped both your twin sister and mama to you, yes, son! Papa still can't get together with you like before. There's still a lot to do here. Papa really misses those times,” he said in a sad tone.

The two are silent, until the sound of notification if the plane that Nathan will be riding will soon take-off make them stand up.

Will be separated within 894 km, certainly will make the longing more felt. Although the papa can visit Jakarta once a week, but it still feels reluctant to separate. With a definite step he headed to the boarding pass to check all the completeness of his flight.

“Until we meet again Singapore. I will definitely be back again in the near future by bringing the person I love, Nathan's inner” circulates his gaze around the airport, before he completely leaves his past there.

Singapore—Indonesia journey takes one hour thirty minutes flight time. Nathan has arrived at Soeta airport. Nathan has been waiting for his family driver. The twin sister and mother did not come to pick up. During the trip Nathan closed his eyes to let go of his drowsiness. Lately he has been sleep-deprived, in addition to work because he misses Widya. Nathan fell asleep for about forty minutes. He woke up when the car he was riding in was parked neatly in the yard of the house that he had long missed. In front of his house, his twin sisters—Evan and Ellen and Liana were already preparing to welcome him.

"Abang ...," cried the twins as they ran to hug their beloved brother who just got out of the car. Liana only smiled happily seeing Nathan enthusiastically stretching out her hands welcoming her two younger siblings.

"Woy .. beloved brothers. Miss, yes, same handsome brother of yours?" nathan exclaimed as he rolled one eye and smiled nosily.

"That's a big bang, Bang," exclaimed Evan and Ellen almost simultaneously. Nathan rattled his two younger siblings' hair in a fit of rage, then broke free from the younger brother's embrace. He walked towards Liana.

"Sound mom? I miss you very much with Mama." Nathan grabbed Liana's hand, then kissed her reverently, after which hugged her tightly.

"Mama misses you too, son. Uh, but you suddenly came home real kangen same mom is the same ...." Liana smiled wryly, the news of Nathan's return was only announced last night.

"Opaan, hell, Mah." Nathan's a little groggy, he knows where his mom's talking is going. "But it's right, anyway," I Nathan then, scratching his chin, misbehaving.

"Have you told me not to be with him yet, if you came today?" Liana asked.

"Yet, Ma. His intention was to give a surprise to the future mother-in-law, Mama," replied Nathan confidently.

"Don't be nosy, Bang! Kasian is a child of people, already heavy like it is," said Liana as she rubbed her eldest child's arm gently.

"Oh, Mama knows, huh." Nathan chuckles, though he believes it to be true. "Please calm down, Ma! It's still safe, though. We called last night" Nathan added.

Liana shook her head at the behavior of her son who was already infatuated with Widya. "Yes, already. Go, in! Mama has cooked your favorite food," Liana asked. They also entered the house.

A clear day has replaced the darkness of a quiet and tranquil night. Nathan accidentally did not meet Widya directly, he wanted to prepare his heart and mental to be more steady to meet the idol of his heart. Tonight Nathan let his longing settle in his dreams.
