"When your beautiful dreams never materialize, that's it.
When you run after your dreams and never get to ya."
"Albar," Alea called out to Albar. He looked at Albar from the rearview mirror and that meant their eyes met.
"Yes" replied Albar. He shifted his gaze for a while then looked back at Alea from the rearview mirror again.
"Are you still on your way to work right now?" Ask Alea lowly.
"No" answered Albar. Then he continued, "Actually my working hours are over when young Master Leo returns but if there are some things it doesn't apply. The end of the current working time is after dropping you back, "he explained.
Alea nodded, "Since you're not in time for work, what if we just muttered? Mmm, surround the Capital at night," asked Alea. "Do you mind?" Ask.
"Ah, of course not. That's a great idea. Go around the capital at night" replied Albar.
Alea smiled at Albar's reply.
"Thank you Albar," he said, to which Albar answered a nod.
The car drove moderately, passing the streets of the Capital City which was still a little congested. Music is still playing through audio. Great songs and motivation.
Albar had no idea what had happened to Alea, he only caught a sad expression on Alea's face. About a broken heart? Maybe, thought.
Alea lowered the glass half. Then, he slightly tilted his head out. Feel the cold night breeze, feel the scent of the streets of the Capital City. His eyes watched the towering buildings. But sometimes, he closed his eyes. Imagine how much his love never boils down well to his life. How the god Amor never sided with him.
"Life is just a fragment isolated in the ocean, forcing us to soak in pain" The old song by Tere ft Pass Band recalls from the audio, accompanying those currently preoccupied with their own thoughts. A song that seems to encourage.
Alea pulled her head back inside and she re-raised the car window.
He looked at Albar from the rearview mirror. Then she sang with passion.
"Life is just a fragment isolated in the ocean forcing us, soaking in pain," Alea's voice slightly hoarsely sang the song. He invites Albar to sing along and the two of them sing to each other and shout in the car. Then, laugh together.
The car is still driving. Right now, the car was passing through a skyscraper that was so majestic.
"This is the office of the young master" Albar said. He reduced the speed of his vehicle.
Alea nodded and watched the building.
"Is young master Lee fierce to his employees?" Ask Alea.
"Hahaha, if it is, I don't know. I'm a private driver Young master but since the young Madam was pregnant, I was assigned to always escort the young Madam" Albar explained.
"Young Master Lee loves young Madam so much, I can see how much young Master Lee loves her so much" Alea said, greeted by a nod of her head by Albar. He's agreed.
"About that, no doubt. Young Master Leo's world, it seems only to the young Madam," Albar replied. "If later, I have a wife, then I will learn the nature of young Master Leo. He's handsome and a billionaire but so loyal" Albar continued.
"You're not married?" Ask Alea.
Albar was a little annoyed at hearing the question.
"Does my face look married?" He asked with a grim expression on his face.
"Hahaha, no. I'm just making sure" Alea replied. "You still look young" Alea comforted him.
Albar chuckled at Alea's reply.
While there. At the home of Young Master Lee. In the garden beside the swimming pool.
Leo invites Yuna to go inside as the day gets nightier and colder.
"Sister Lee, I say goodbye" Neva said. He kisses Leo and Yuna's cheeks in turn, then kisses Yuna's stomach gently and lovingly. "Good night baby, I love you" she said.
Then, he again stood beside Vano.
"I say goodbye to Leo, Yuna," Vano told the host, "Good night" he bowed a little.
"Good night, Vano," Yuna replied.
Leo looked at Vano, then turned to look at Neva, noticed his sister's radiant and happy face, then he looked back at Vano again.
"I hope you take good care of my sister" he told Vano. He wants Neva to be happy, as happy as he wants. Passing days filled with love and smiles.
Vano nodded with certainty, "Surely," he replied. He turned towards Neva and grabbed her hand. Grasping fingers. "I will take good care of him, very well. Once again thank you for your blessing Leo," continued Vano. Leo nodded with a smile. His hand was raised and rubbed Neva's hair slowly.
"It's late, come back soon" he said.
Then, Vano and Neva get in the car.
"Bye, bye," Neva waves as Vano's car starts to turn on. Slowly, the car moved away from Leo's house.
Vano looked at the clock on his wrist. 23:16 was really late.
"Is this curfew like Om and Aunt still awake?" Ask Vano.
"Emm? Not sure. Sometimes Papa can be workaholic and will sleep very late" Neva replied.
"I hope tonight I can meet him" said Vano in hope.
"It's late. Better Mr. Van .... "
"Honey this is no longer them, you know," Vano cut off Neva's speech. "Why still call me Brother?" Further. The sister? It was like a call to Leo.
Neva's face turned red with that call. It turns out like this beautiful fall in love, it turns out like this when a relationship begins. When the lips call it with the word dear then the flowers in his heart will bloom, then the beautiful face is more blushing. Just a loving call from those lips, was able to make his heart wriggle.
"It's not because there are them or there are none of them, it's because I'm not used to them yet" he replied softly in shame.
"OK, I'll get you used to it" said Vano. He will not force anymore. "So why are you turning your face away" asked Vano. He turned towards Neva for a moment before returning to focus on the streets.
"Nothing, it's just that I'm afraid that my face is dull" Neva replied. In fact, he turned away because he was too blushed by the call, because his heart was pounding.
Vano chuckled, "What if your face is dull?" Ask.
"Hmm, if my face is dull, I'm afraid you're you're changing your mind to make me a girlfriend" Neva replied lowly. He bit his lower lip. His answer made Vano laugh lightly. He released his next hand and then grabbed Neva's hand. Grip it gently.
Papa was still awake when they arrived. Papa already knows everything about Neva and Vano. Mom told him that. Papa noticed the small screen in his study.
"Thank you for driving me, brother," Neva said. He took off his seat belt.
"Do you have no intention of offering me entry?" ask Vano.
"Not intending but it's late, Brother Vano must rest immediately," replied Neva he turned towards Vano.
"Hm, okay" replied Vano. "You also need to get some rest" Vano said. Neva nodded. Vano's hand stalled and rubbed Neva's cheek gently, "Good night dear," said Vano.
Neva blushed again but at this moment she did not turn away, they stared at each other. I don't think today wants to go away quickly. I feel like being together all the time.
"Good night" Neva replied quietly. Then, he opened the car door and got out. "Be careful on the road" he said to Vano.
"Ready," Vano replied with a smile. "Come in" said Vano.
"No, I'm waiting for Vano's brother to return" Neva replied.
"I'm waiting for you to come in" Vano said.
"I'll be in later after Kak Vano returns" Neva replied.
"Okey, let me get you inside" said Vano, and it made Neva lose. Towards inside? Meet papa this late? Then when will Papa and Vano rest? Better not now to meet.
"Well, I went inside" Neva said. With weight he flipped his body and stepped up to open the door. He opened it but did not go inside. He stood on the doorstep and then turned his back. She smiles. "Go home, I'm already here" he said with a slight increase in his voice. Vano smiled and waved his hand.
Then he turned his car around.
"Bye," Neva responded to Vano's waving as the car slowly drifted away. After Vano's car exits the gate, Neva steps in and closes the door again.
Papa watched it with a smile. Her little daughter is now a teenager, a spoiled little princess. Maybe it won't be long, the little princess will be brought from this house. Hmm, Papa became thinking about many things. He thought that all this time he was too busy so that the time for his children was too little. Neva, it feels like just yesterday the girl was spoiled in her lap and now maybe she will soon leave this house. Leo, it also feels like just yesterday his handsome son complained and protested because on the holiday Papa is always abroad, and now his son is waiting for the birth of his love fruit. Dimas, it feels like it was just yesterday, Dimas told me about how annoying the traffic jam in the Capital City is. And at this time, he had been self-sufficient on the opposite island. Papa felt he had missed so much about children, he felt he had missed so much time to work and work.
From now on, he will fix everything. He will be at home more often with his wife and children.
__ Elsewhere in Young Master Lee's house.
Leo just made milk. He took her to the room. No, there's Yuna, she's putting that chocolate milk on the table.
"Darling, are you inside?" He asked after knocking on the bathroom door. She could already guess if Yuna was in the bathroom, but she just wanted to make sure.
"Yes" Yuna replied and she opened the door and stepped out.
"Your favorite chocolate milk is ready" said Leo. Yuna nodded with a smile. Then, Leo took her to the sofa.
After Yuna finished one glass of chocolate milk, Leo picked up a book and read her a fairy tale. New books he just bought. After finishing with his fairy tale, Leo had a friendly dialogue with his baby, whispering words of love and a thread of prayer for the baby who was still in the womb of his wife. Sometimes, her cheeks received a gentle kick and it made her heart extremely happy.
"Honey, he's getting more agile" said Leo with a happy light laugh. Yuna nodded, her hands raised and rubbed Leo's hair.
"Darling," called him.
"Yes?" answer Leo.
"I became very guilty of Alea," Yuna said.
"Why?" Ask Leo. To be honest he didn't discuss it but he couldn't possibly not listen to Yuna.
Leo lifted Yuna up to move to the bed, she laid Yuna's body carefully. Then, he followed. Yuna slept on top of her arms, her right hand hugging Leo.
"I was jealous of her for looking at you in the eye, but it was just my feeling, right? Hhaaa ridiculous, why am I being jealous now?" said Yuna. Leo listened silently. His hand rubbed Yuna's hair gently. "It turns out he already has a girlfriend" he continued.
Yuna recalled the name Alea mentioned, the name of the person she was in her heart. "Januar," Yuna recited the name in her lips. He hugged Leo. "Good name" he said. "What do you think?" Ask Leo.
"What?" Leo answered, asking.
"Januar" Yuna replied. "Strength, wisdom, influence and power" he continued reciting the meaning of where it is.
"Do you like that name?" Ask Leo. He rubbed Yuna's arm that was on her stomach.
"It's normal" Yuna replied. He looked up to look at Leo. "I prefer the name Leo" he said with loving eyes. "Leo J Nugraha" he continued. Both corners of Leo's lips lifted. He lowered his head and kissed Yuna gently on the forehead.
"Have you ever asked me what J is in my name?" Ask Leo. He returned Yuna's eyes to her.
Yuna shook her head, "No," she replied. "I just thought that the name of the Nugraha family was unique. Dimas A Nugraha, Leo J Nugraha and Neva D Nugraha. Your middle name is unique" Yuna said.
"There's a meaning to that abbreviation" Leo said. Yuna slightly raised her body to level with Leo.
"Oh yeah? Any meaning? So, your middle name is an abbreviation?" The question is full of curiosity. Unique and it turns out he knows something unique again.
Leo nodded, "Yes, that's an abbreviation" Leo replied.
"Hmm, what does J mean in your name?" Yuna asked curiously. His eyes stared at Leo lovingly.
"Januar" replied Leo. Yuna froze for a moment. January? What the hell does this mean? Is January Leo's middle name? It was January that made Alea fall in love, January that was currently in Alea's heart. Is that Leo January her husband?? Really really?
"Darling don't joke around" said Yuna looking at him. His eyes were teary, he knew Leo was telling the truth, he knew Leo wasn't kidding but right now, he was hoping Leo was joking.
