Call Me Rain
I'm Gone

Alula felt that one by one her affairs had ended, now she could leave with a calm heart. He had already finished his business in the Boutique, and stopped in a fine manner.

Ms. Nuning also appreciated her decision, unwilling to force Alula to continue working for her. Marsha who though often persuaded her not to go, finally wanted to understand.

He also felt calm, because he had met the Beautiful Bu who he had long wanted to meet. But who would have thought, if the person he had been respecting turned out to be his own brother.

Ms. Indah also continued to persuade Alula and father to stay with them, she said

"I will continue to feel guilty if you leave" said Ms. Beautiful when they returned from Rutan to the halfway house.

"As a redeemer for my past mistakes, I want Alula to help me take care of this home" he continued expectantly.

"This is all Alula's desire, I can not refuse his will" said the father who sat opposite Bu Indah.

It was nice to see the look on the face of the father who now looks friendly, no longer cold and stiff as when he first met Bu Indah this morning.

"I will still move Mom," his tongue is certainly not accustomed to the call 'tante', although Bu Indah often corrects his call.

"There is Risma who will continue the management of the orphanage, as well as the management of other mother's businesses" said Alula sincerely.he is grateful in his heart, because he is surrounded by good people.

And what made him feel calm the most was Risma's attitude that suddenly turned warm. He always smiled at Alula when she accidentally threw eyes at each other, never again showing her face ketus and judes.

"I can't believe you're my brother" Risma said as Alula looked at the children playing ball in the yard.

Alula turned to Risma who was standing next to her, then she smiled kindly.

"La, I'm sorry. My attitude has never been good with you." Risma's face looks regretful.

"In fact, I also contributed to your kidnapping at that time" said Risma with a trembling mouth.

Alula frowned, not understanding what Risma meant.

Risma recounts her encounter with a man at a bus stop, telling the man where Alula often waits to be picked up. Risma thought that she was also involved in the kidnapping, and she did not think that the man who approached her was Leon, her own father.

"I'm sorry for everything La, especially for my father." said Risma with a gloomy face.

Like Leon in the past, the man was still his real father, and he respected and loved him very much, even though their first meeting was fairly short.

"Everything has happened, Ris, I've forgotten everything" Alula said with a smile. Although there was still a fear in him to just hear Leon's name.

"So, are we now brothers' friends?" Alula reached out her hand, and hoped that Risma would welcome her.

But Risma looked at him with full force, and then grabbed him into the embrace.

"Thank you La." she looked down with teary eyes.

"Thank you for forgiving me, thank you for making friends with me" Risma said sincerely.

Alula smiles behind Risma's back, knowing that Risma is actually a good person. He was just a child disappointed in the situation.

The absence of a father in his life, makes him lack of affection.and the busyness of Bu Indah in taking care of children in the halfway house makes the attention of Bu Indah become divided.

Risma just needs company and understanding, he is actually just a spoiled child who thirsts for affection. If Risma could blend in with the other children of the orphanage, of course she would not feel lonely. Alula smiled, she felt lucky because since childhood Alula had lived with a complete family.

...****************...

The sun began to crawl up, as Alula came out of the pavilion. Today she was really going to leave, leaving the house that had been giving a sense of comfort. A kind family home that gives her affection like their own child.

Some of his goods have been sent first through the delivery service, only a few clothes and a few small items are left.

"Are you ready ?" dad looked at her as he walked out the door, like he saw the doubt in Alula.

Alula nodded confidently, "Come on yah." asked Alula as she led father to walk to the front yard where Pa Sanjaya and Mama Indri were waiting for them.

"Why do I have to go anyway ?" moo Mama Indri.

"Mama will definitely miss you." said Mama Indri with a gloomy face when Alula say goodbye.

"Healthy there well." he added while hugging Alula's body. Alula nodded, then hugged Mama Indri back.

"I'm sure, you're capable of standing on your own Abhi. don't be afraid of failing again !" Pa Sanjaya pats dad on the shoulder, gives encouragement.

Dad often tells about his failure in the business world to Pa Sanjaya.that's why he survived as a driver and personal assistant Pa Sanjaya.

Because I was always hesitant to start something new, he knew, Leon would always ruin and thwart every plan that I had made.

"Thank you for all the experiences that you have taught Pa. in the future I will start a new business." Abhi's father is so optimistic.the article people who always prevent him now can no longer do anything.

"Aren't you waiting for Emir to come home first ? she must be sad there's no you." Mama Indri's question made Alula nervous.

Since Mirza and Gweny's engagement, she hasn't even met the man until now. Alula who always chose to avoid, also Mirza who was too preoccupied with her new job made them more and more distant from each other.

"He knows, right, if you want to move today ?" Mama Indri reassured again because Alula was just silent.

"Our taxi has come to Ma." said Alula turned her attention.he pointed to the taxi that had just entered the courtyard of the house, after the security guard opened the gate.

"We say Ma, may Mama and Pa Sanjaya always be healthy" said Alula with a choked voice.

"Doing would be best for me and dad." he added.

Mama Indri's face looked gloomy, feeling sad because she lost her daughter again. Mama Indri looks up, as Pa Sanjaya embraces her shoulder, giving her strength.

"I'm sorry Pa, Mom. Thank you for all the kindness you could never have

I reply one by one." Even with my father, it was hard to leave good people like them. But he could not force Alula to stay there.

With heavy steps, Alula walked along with the father to the taxi he had ordered.Their belongings had been put in the trunk by the taxi driver.

Sometimes he looked at Mama Indri who was still looking at him with a sad face.

Alula got into the taxi, she waved at Mama Indri who was still standing in her place. He smiled as Mama Indri and Pa Sanjaya returned a wave of his hand.

The car drove slowly leaving the multi-storey luxury house with the white paint. Alula looked at the house in front of her which was now getting away from her sight.

"Thank you for being a part of my life."

"May one day, we will be reunited with different feelings."

"I go bang, may you always be happy."

inner Alula, accompanied by the shedding of tears that had been jostling to get out immediately.

Dad rubbed his hand when he realized he was crying and then pulled his body into the deck. Dad seemed to understand with his current anxiety.

I'm leaving, I'm leaving,

Leaving memories I will never forget.

You will always be kept in the heart,

Distance and time are in the way.

Good bye, bye,

Thank you for a time that will never happen again.

Be happy with him, though,

Even though my heart was broken to see it.
