Asking You In Every Bow
28. Awaiting you

Two months later, Naura returned to visit with her Father and Mother to the boarding house. Ramdan, who was waiting, immediately welcomed the presence of Naura and her family. It turned out that Baron was also coming, he was only thirteen years old. Naura's sister Maura is two years old.

"Hi, Bima. I came back to play with you" Naura said with a faint smile.

Ramdan returned that smile. "I've been waiting for you. Let's play, I want to show you something." Ramdan told Naura to walk.

Their laughter sounded so cheerful and sweet. Now they are in the backyard.

"Wait here" Ramdan walked over to the mango tree. Want to take something under the mango tree, but undo his intention when he heard the arrival of two people.

"Hey Bima's. What are you doing?"

"Hi, Naura. What are you doing here? Since then, I've been looking for you,"

They were the Baron and Fatimah. Now Ramdan has been near them all after he chose to approach. After greeting each other, Baron invited to play together.

"Let's play. I really don't want to miss our time together. Because Dad is always busy with his work so there may be no time for us to meet. But lucky, we can still meet."

"really. But where is it?"

"In the park, it seems more interesting" said Fatimah. Then everything started to go.

While Ramdan turned his head and looked at a dark blue box. The momentary gaze was shifted to both his friends and one brother who walked further and further away. Ramdan ran to catch up with them. Leaving the blue box that was still under the mango tree.

It was late afternoon and play time was over. Now they wave each other's hands, giving the expression ' See you'.

With a heavy heart, Ramdan stared at the departure of the car driven by the Naura family. Ramdan ran towards the back, and now he is in the backyard. His hands were moved to pick up the dark blue box that was still under the mango tree. Ramdan was silent as he stared at the box.

Ramdan sighed then chose to leave the backyard.

Some time, day after day, one month has passed, two months and three months have now passed in a short time. But there was no sign of Naura and the others.

One year passed. After a long wait Ramdan, finally a car belonging to the Naura family back to visit the boarding school. Ramdan was very excited to welcome the arrival of the Naura family at that time, especially her who had been waiting for Naura's long arrival.

But strangely, no figure Naura down the car. Only his relatives were visible to Ramdan's eyes. With a little courage, Ramdan ventured to approach Herman, the father of Naura and began to inquire about Naura.

"Excuse me, Uncle. Where is Naura? Why did Naura get out of the car for so long?" ask Ramdan plain. Because, his age is still early.

Herman turned his head and looked at the child who was with one of his daughters, Naura. Herman smiled faintly and said, "Naura is not coming here, Ram. Naura seemed to be very busy doing her schoolwork. Maybe next time you'll see each other again, okay?" herman said in a soft tone.

While Ramdan who felt a little disappointed by his friend's absence, only smiled faintly and nodded in response to Herman.

"Look over there. There were Baron, Fatimah, Maura and other friends who were playing. Hurry up and join them in playing together. It must be very exciting" entertained Herman when he realized Ramdan who seemed disappointed to hear Naura did not come with his family.

Ramdan gave a small nod and Herman began to move away toward his wife, Yuni.

Ramdan was only silent with a gust of wind hitting his body. Now he is in the backyard, alone and without anyone accompanying him.

"When are you coming back? I will wait for you." Ramdan said to the wind in the air.
