1 Childhood
“Ma why did papa leave? Papa's coming back, isn't he, Ma? Papa promised me. Papa said, he'll take me to play and buy Rara a big doll.”
The little boy kept asking his mother about his father. While his mother only looked blankly without answering a single question from her child.
Rara hugged Mirna's body, her silent mother did not budge. While Mirna gently rubbed Rara's head lovingly. From now on they will only live together, passing day by day together.
The little girl's face looks cute and adorable. Her eyelashes are flat and her lips are tiny. Her skin is white and her hair is black. There are dimples on both cheeks. If she smiled, those dimples would add to the beauty of her face.
17 Years later
“Happy birthday Ra,” said Mirna, Mama Rara. The woman kissed Rara on the forehead and hugged her. Such an atmosphere made Karina, Rara's best friend, to immediately comment.
“Are we not given a chance to congratulate Rara?” All were silent, as if not listening to her chatter.
“Alright, I let you congratulate me. Come!” Rara opened her arms wide to invite Karina to embrace. After that, other Rara friends took turns congratulating their friend who is now 22 years old. They include Rivan, Tony, and Tia.
Rara's birthday is not celebrated in a big way. Only his close friends came. No one felt anything less. Maybe!
Rara opened a gift from her friends. Watches of Rivan. Shoes of Karina. Tony's bag and Tia's necklace. Don't forget the dress from her mother, though her mother isn't sure Rara will wear it. Understandably, the child only wayangnya it does prefer to wear casual clothes than dress let alone dress.
“Wow ... not in vain I have friends who tajir!”
They laughed at Rara's words. They enjoy a cake made by Mirna herself. Mirna Cuisine is always their favorite, because it is so delicious. Not infrequently they often come to Rara's house just to ride a meal.

“Hallo, really? Yeah, yeah, of course. Soon, definitely. Thank you!” Rara was so happy to get that call. He felt there was nothing more pleasant than this, for today of course.
“Ahh ... Mama! Rara is happy, Mama knows no, Rara can finally go.” Her mother was silent, not understanding what the child was talking about.
“Mama don't understand what you mean, what?” his mother said later, after a long time Rara, her beautiful child laughed, jumped up and down, even accidentally stepped on the tail of a neighbor cat.
“Aduuhh ... Mama how it is, anyway. Time has forgotten. Three days to go to London.”
Mirna immediately smiled at her son, also felt the happiness felt by her favorite child. Mirna understood her son's dream. He immediately helped Rara prepare all her needs.
“Mama, Mama let me go, right?”
“Of course, Honey!”
“Hai Van, you happened to come. In three days I'm going to London!” Rivan's reaction was the same as his mother, smiling and also feeling happy about the achievements of his best friend.
“So three more days, you go straight away? Good riddance! So during your departure, I can live quietly.” There was a punch in Rivan's arm.

“Ra, don't forget to call upon arrival in London,” said Karina while hugging Rara.
“If there is time, I will visit you.”
Rivan patted Rara on the back. It was hard to let her best friend go alone to a country of people. What if something happens to her? Pain, like. But Rivan must be sure that Rara will be fine and can take care of herself. Bag too, this is Rara's dream, so Rivan has to support her.
“If there is anything, let me know mama yes, Ra!”
Tony and Tia also did not forget to say goodbye to Rara.
Geez, they act like that as if I'm going to be gone for decades, only! Inner Rara. But he realized, it was because they all loved him so much, and he was so moved.
They all talk until Rara has to leave.
“All right, see you. Take care of my mama, yes!” Rara waved her hands excitedly, even though she was actually very sad. So far Rara has never separated from her mother, especially in a long time. He was always surrounded by his friends. But this is also one of his dreams. He will also be back.
Come on Khaira Nayara, you can do it! I will make my mom proud.
Rara started to enter the plane. He got a seat next to the window, his favorite spot, and there was a man sitting next to him. Flight attendants began giving directions before the plane took off. Rara looked out the window. There is still a view of Jakarta from above.
He started to miss his mom and friends. How could he live life in London without them? But Rara didn't want to give up.
The city of Jakarta is no longer visible. Rara began to feel sleepy. Slowly his eyes closed and he went to dreamland.
Rara's head fell on the shoulders of the man sitting next to her. The man looked at Rara's tired-looking face. Her eyes looked at Rara's beautiful looking face. Then the man confirmed his sitting position, so that he and Rara felt comfortable.
He can smell the fragrance of the fragrance oil used by Rara, but he can also smell the scent of telon oil, making him smile and look handsome.
He closed his eyes, but did not sleep. As the man began to sleep, their heads clutched together. Provide comfort that is not realized by each other.

...
The man woke up first, while Rara was still comfortable with her sleep, whose head was still leaning on the shoulder of the man in the suit.
Ten minutes later, Rara woke up. He was shocked to find his head on the shoulders of the man sitting next to him. He saw that the man was sleeping. Luckily, Rara thought. The man held a smile, actually he did not sleep, just pretended not to cause awkwardness from the girl sitting next to him.
