Missed working for three days, but the work atmosphere already felt familiar. Two of his colleagues were also very helpful in communicating. Understand Miss can only speak English, while there is not everyone who understands. Steven, a man of American descent who is four years older than him. Belinda, a girl of German descent who is a year old on it.
"Oo .. Miss, you are so beautiful today." (O.o... Miss, you are so beautiful today)
"Thank you Steven, you look very handsome too." (Thank you Steven, you look really good)
Steven who just came, greeted Miss. For people there it is common, praise and give kisses have become a habit. It could be judged as courtesy between them. Slowly I began to learn about this. But for physical touch, he still strongly refused, it was already the principle of his life.
"Rin, Steven's here. Auntie go home first. Later you come home escorted Steven yes, the danger of coming home alone," said Aunt Maya.
"Yes, Auntie also carefully went home."
"Yes, honey." Aunt Maya turned her gaze to Steven, she spoke from a distance. "Steven, ich gehe nach Hause. Bitte passen Sie auf meinen Neffen auf." (Steven, I'm going home. Please take care of my nephew)
"Naturlich, Madam, Maya." (Sure, Mrs Maya)
"Dankeschon." (Thank you)
Misses who are still in the learning stage, paying attention to their conversation. Although he did not understand, but he knew the meaning of the conversation. After saying goodbye Maya rushed home. For while Miss was only assigned to the cashier section, she still had a lot to learn about everything. Although Missing often makes mistakes, Steven will help improve with patience.

Two years later.
Frankfurt am Main University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK). The University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt am trains approximately 900 students to become professional and socially responsible artists, educators, and scientists. The university has 63 professors and 350 lecturers.
This is where Miss is now in college. The leading music university in Frankfurt, Germany. I miss fighting so hard to get into this university. Now Miss has entered the third semester in the 'Composition Bachelor' major'. Longing to choose this major to realize his dream of becoming an independent composer.
In the past two years, Miss has been able to adjust to the environment she lives in now. Daytime is his schedule for college. And from evening until night he will work. Aunt Maya never limit the association of Miss there. For him as long as Miss can take care of themselves and know the boundaries are not a problem. Now adults can sort out what is good and what is bad.
That afternoon I miss seeing Anton, Aunt Maya's husband. I miss feeling the strange gurgle of the man. During her stay at her tant house, Miss only a few times looks familiar to the man. It was because he was too busy with his current college and work schedules. Usually Anton only comes during the day when Aunt Maya is in the Bar. Why did he show up there now?
Time passed, and this year has entered the beginning of December. Winter has come, the season where everyone is dressed very thickly and in layers. He was busy with his routine as usual. That night visitors were not so crowded. Maybe because of the cold weather, many people choose to stay at home.
Steven and Belinda wanted to drink beer to keep their bodies warm. It has become a habit there, to use alcoholic beverages as a body warming drink. Despite that, Miss never allowed herself to get drunk. The drink was only made as a warmer of his body. Winter in Germany is very harsh. Sometimes temperatures can reach minus 15 degrees or more. And longs to avoid cold attacks that can take lives.
"Wahh ..The weather today was very cold" Steven said.
"Yes .. I can freeze to death if you keep this up," replied Miss sipping a beer at the table.
"You're still not used to winter here, Miss?" ask Steven later.
"It's much better than the year before. You guys remember how I snuggled up in bed for a week. God, I feel like I'm gonna be a block of ice at that time."
They were all laughing out loud. Then pitting their glasses together and toast. They're laughing.
"Yes, and I gave you a beer. You refused at first, but I insisted. If it wasn't for the beer, you might have finished" Belinda stuck out her tongue.
And they burst out laughing again. Their free time is used to chat familiarize themselves. Steven who turned out to secretly admire personally misses, looking meaningfully.
"Rindu .. tell me more about your first love. Are you still thinking about it?" ask Belinda.
"Hm .. Ardian? of course, she's the only love I have. But my love claps one hand. I'll just keep it in my heart."
Missing answers made Steven feel hopeful. All this time he was always hesitant to start, Missing was too unapproachable. Evidently from the way he responded to the seduction from men around.
"Then can I try it?" ask Steven later.
Homesickness pucker. "try what?" tanyangabing.
"Make you my lover."
"What ... Steven, are you serious?" sahut Belinda later.
"Of course," Steven replied reassuring the two of them.
When Miss was about to hammer Steven's confession just now. Suddenly Anton came, he looked very panicked. They were all shocked by Anton's arrival.
"My nephew ... Miss, you must go to the hospital immediately!"
"What's going on, Uncle?"
"Your daughter, had a heart attack. Now it's in the ER!"
"Oh my God .. How did this happen, Uncle? I'll be there soon!"
Steven saw Anton's behavior a little suspicious. Anton is known to be very devious, and sometimes able to lie to his own wife.
"Let me come along" said Steven.
Before they started the debate, a swarm of customers came over. The burly men wanted to drink beer to warm their bodies.
"Steven, it looks like you won't be able to leave. I can't handle it alone." Belinda's speech is allowed by Miss.
Anton convinces Steven that Miss will be fine with him. Steven really wasn't willing to let Miss go with that sneaky guy. But it was also impossible for him to leave Belinda alone with this many male customers. Steven eventually relented and had to stay at the bar.
Miss rushed to get her things. With a little running they went to the hospital. Anton calls a taxi, Miss looking anxious thinking about Aunt Maya's situation.
In the middle of Anton's journey without saying anything more. The panic that just now seemed so real, had changed at this moment. Miss raised her eyebrows next to Anton's sudden change in face. Without him realizing the taxi that was aimed at the hospital had changed its route.
"Uncle, where's this going? Why is the road so different?" Missed asking because she had been to the hospital before.
