Another Chance
Chapter 36

Four days ago, Nio's family was in Singapore. Today is their last day before tomorrow the three return to the Fatherland. Since last night Nio has told Zoya that they will take a trip to Santosa Island. Since morning they have been ready. After breakfast, they head to the small island by cable car at Vivocity station.

It only took them fifteen minutes to get to Vivocity station. Nio takes his wife and son out of the car walking towards the cable car that will take them to Santosa Island.

At the station it looked so crowded. Nio had deliberately brought Zoya and Rasya to a public place to feel a different excitement. But a surprise came for Zoya. Suddenly many approached him with sparkling faces.

"Oh my God! Are you Zoya Lavani?" ask the one who approached him.

Zoya looked in wonder at her husband.

"A-ah, yeah. It's me," Zoya replied smiling awkwardly.

"Oh God! Very lucky to meet you. I'm your fan!" he cried with happiness. "I have watched your movie and you're amazing. Can we take a selfie?" ask with enthusiasm.

"Sure."

They finally took a picture together. And what surprised Zoya and Nio was that so many asked the former actress for a photo. They did not think that abroad a lot of people recognize Zoya.

Indeed there are how many films Zoya aired in neighboring countries. But that was two years ago. But so many still recognize him. Some people also asked why he did not play the film anymore even though they were waiting for the work given by the young woman. They also ask why Zoya disappeared on social media.

Zoya can only answer that she enjoys her life as a wife and mother so she does not spend much time on social media.

After the impromptu meet & greet event, finally the Nio group cable car came. Zoya paid a respects to her fans. In the train Zoya still did not expect that so many people still love him, even from several countries.

"I didn't think they knew me" Zoya told her husband with a glowing look.

"See? Not everyone hates you, Cherie. Look, there are still so many waiting for you to come back," said Nio rubbed his wife's beautiful hair. "You are a talented actress. So, there must be many who like your talent."

Zoya smiles. "Am I still hoping for another career?" tanyakanya.

"There is something if you want to start. Don't listen to the haters who always drop you. Look at those who are still faithful to idolize you. Because basically if we hear what people say, our lives will never be happy. Do what you want to do while it's good and doesn't hurt others" replied Nio as usual who always cools Zoya's heart.

The beautiful woman rested her head on the husband's shoulder. He held the man's hand tightly. "Thank you for always being there for me."

"Sure, Cherie. Be with you as if I had the world and its content. Then I have to take good care of it." Nio gently kissed the back of his wife's hand and they enjoyed the beautiful scenery from a height.

It didn't take long, they reached Sentosa beach. This time both are guarded really because there are very crowded. Their first destination was a visit to the Madam Tussauds Museum. The two did not decide to go to Universal Studio because it must be very crowded and the game has not changed. So, they prefer to go to places they have not visited.

The small family saw statues of famous artists with several photos. Zoya himself took pictures with the first president of Indonesia Sukarno. Then take pictures with Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Christian Ronaldo, Shah Rukh Khan and many more. Only one hour they are there, then go to another destination, Trick Eye Museum.

They enjoyed the activities that day. Not only to Trick Eye Museum, they also visit Sea Aqua until the afternoon. And then the twilight, they sat by the beach enjoying the sunset.

"Look, our son is asleep" said Zoya, who was resting her head on her husband's shoulder, looking at the child asleep in Nio's arms.

"Yes, he's very happy today. Even from the moment we got to he wasn't sleeping. Only now he sleeps" said Nio, peeping the tip of his wife's head.

"Cherie, are you happy?" ask Nio.

Zoya smilingly grabbed her husband's hand and the two hands were interlocked. "Very happy. I haven't been this happy for a long time. Thank you, Mommy."

"I'll keep your smile ever. So, be prepared to go through the day with a smile." Nio further tightened his hand link.

They sat leaning against each other enjoying the sunset with a burning feeling. Zoya herself felt so happy that her chest wanted to explode. He did not expect that the man he considered the unlucky bearer turned out to be very gentle and very considerate.

Zoya closed her eyes, smiling at the shadow of the smiling father. Nio's figure was reminiscent of his first love. The man who was willing to give anything to see the smile on his lips.

Papa, I found you again from the figure of my husband, Zoya's inner self with a smile on her lips.

**

An hour for them to have dinner. After that, everyone went to Wings of Time, a tourist spot that presents a world-class fountain show with a duration of approximately 30 minutes. Wings Of Time also includes the refinement of Snow Songs Of The Sea.

Nio took his wife and son sitting in the middle. Intentionally to see more clearly and comfortably. The show began. They are presented by several fountain games that have been combined with led lights, laser beams, fireballs and beautiful fireworks.

Everyone enjoyed a beautiful show at night that looked bright. So's Zoya. He was so happy to see the fireworks he hadn't seen in a long time. The show's almost done. Until suddenly Zoya's eyes rounded to see some dancers carrying a writing that so touched the woman.

There are five dancers who are now giving a show with a large enough paper they hold.

The words are written ....

I love you more than any word can say. I love you more than every action I take. I’ll be right here loving you till the end. (I love you more than I can say. I love you more than I can do. I'll be here loving you till the end)

Every love story in this universe is beautiful. Our love story is my favorite. (Every love story in this world is beautiful. But our love story is my favorite.)

Loving you never was an option. Because it's necessity. (Loving you is never an option. Because it is a need.)

You are the one that made me risk everything for a future worth having. (you are the only one that made me risk everything for a more valuable future.)

Hey, I just wanna say something. I love you so much. Yes, that is all, My Zoya Maharani Lavani. (Hi, I just wanted to say something. I love you so much. Yeah, that's all. Zoya Maharani Lavani - ku)

Everyone boisterously clapped at the end of the written sentence indicated. Zoya herself looked at her husband with a surprised look. Even her tears were dripping without her noticing.

"Maas ...."

Nio smiled holding his wife's hand. The floodlights highlight both. Everyone there stared at the pair of human children who were in love.

"Are you happy?" ask Nio.

Zoya nodded with tears falling like a waterfall.

"That's enough for me. Always happy, Cherie. Seeing you happy is my greatest happiness. Let go of all your sadness. Divide me so that all is truly lost. I promise you, I will make your lips continue to smile every time. So, stay the happy Zoya."

Zoya cries with her husband and everyone claps boisterously at how Nio loves his wife.

"I love you Mas Nio's. I really love you."

Nio's heart was pounding so violently hearing it. He even suddenly blank momentarily in disbelief with what he heard.

Zoya declares her love? Did he not hear wrong?

Nio took off his embrace. He looked at Zoya with a surprised look. "W-what did you say?" tanyanya still can't believe it.

"I love you. I love you. Saranghae. Wo ai ni, Arsenio Bagaskara," Zoya replied smilingly.

Nio's heart almost escaped hearing it. Even his hands were trembling. He really did not think that Zoya finally returned his love.

"Repeat once again."

Zoya chuckles amusedly. "I love you Arsenio Bagaskara. I—love—you." Gently Zoya kissed her husband's lips. "I love you."

"Me too! I love you, love you so much."

On that night, a pair of human children were given such great happiness. However, will that happiness continue, or will it be the first and last happiness they feel?
