Three Years Later,
"Pa, Ma, I went to school first yes," said a beautiful girl after drinking milk in her glass.
"Yes, honey. Do you want to get a driver?" ask the middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful.
"No, Ma. I'll take the public bus. Does Mama know? The city bus is the best. Not inferior to cities abroad. Mama had to try it. I'm already late. I'll go first."
The girl kissed the cheeks of her parents alternately.
After the death of their only child, the two parents who were half a century older seemed to review his smile.
"No feeling yes he's grown. He is 17 years old and he is in college soon. Then after that he found a mooring of hearts and married," said the wife.
"Don't talk like that. She'll still be our little daughter, Tika."
"Yes, Jul. Oh yeah, don't you have a job? Or did you leave it to Leon?"
"No, I have to keep an eye on everything. I hope that Shelo gets a soul mate who can inherit my company later."
"Ish, Shelo's too young to get married, Jul. The future is long."
"If he gets the best, why not? Aye, right?"
Kartika only sighed hearing Julian's words.

Arriving at his school, Shelo gets a call from Nathan.
"Hello, Sis..."
"Hello, my dear sister. Did you get to school?"
"Hmm, yes."
"Sorry I can't take you. You know I'm very busy in the office."
"Yes, yeah, I know. After all, taking a public bus is more fun than riding your fancy car."
"Ish, you! When did my sister become an adult? I don't feel willing."
"Sister, I'm 17 and I'm no longer your little sister, okay? Yes, I have to go to class first. Hye!"
Shelo ends his call with Nathan.
Across the call, Nathan shook his head slowly to get a pretty good answer. He saw a photo of Shelo when he was a teenager and now the girl has grown up.
"Sir, you've been waiting in the meeting room" said David, Nathan's assistant.
"Ah yes, has their representative arrived yet?"
"Here you go, sir."
"Alright, come! Prepare all the cooperation files."
"Good, Sir."
Nathan stepped up, followed by David behind him. The man who used to still look innocent is now transformed into a mature man who is admired by many women. Although known to be cold and not much to say, but Nathan was able to make the Avicenna Group to be the leader in this city and began to explore abroad.
"Good morning, thank you for coming" Nathan said as he entered the meeting room.
He saw a woman behind him while looking at the view of the multi-storey buildings parallel to where he stood.
Nathan didn't get an answer from the woman. He wanted to go back to reprimand but it turned out that the woman turned her back and met Nathan's eyes.
"You!" Nathan couldn't believe what he saw.
"Yes, it's me" replied the woman.
"I don't think the Aerospace Corp representative is you. I didn't expect you. .. to continue Uncle Irfan's company."
The woman rolled her eyes lazily. "I continued my father's company while continuing my business studies at the Avicenna campus. Didn't Aunt Lian tell you?"
"Why did Mom tell you about you? Doesn't matter!" Nathan pulled up the chair and sat on it.
"You! You're still as annoying as you used to be!" the long haired girl.
"Sit, Ivanna. We'll talk about cooperation, not debate."
A little annoyed, Ivanna pulled up the chair and landed her ass there.
"This is a contract of cooperation from us. Please read it first!" Nathan handed over the file that David brought.
Ivanna read the file carefully as the mangosteen.
"You're pretty good too" muttered Ivanna.
"What did you say?!" Nathan heard Ivanna mutter though the girl said softly.
"Say you're good too!" exciting Ivanna.
"I am not as smart and genius as my brother. But I studied hard. Isn't there no result that betrays effort?"
"You're right. Then, congratulations on the cooperation that will be established." Ivanna stretched out her hand.

After school, Shelo walks to a bus stop near his school. While waiting for the bus to come, Shelo used to put on a headset to listen to his favorite song. While drumming, he enjoyed the hot sun of the city which began to rise in the afternoon.
While being engrossed in a kick, Shelo was suddenly startled by a loud bang that seemed to be the sound of a car crashing. Shelo got up from his seat and looked around.
He saw a car hit a roadblock and a motorcycle crashed with a young man who was thrown from his motorcycle. Shelo approached the driver of the car which turned out to be a middle-aged married couple.
Shelo called an ambulance to come to the scene. Shelo also helps the motorcyclist to get up.
"You all right? Can your legs still walk?" shelo asked the young man.
The young man did not reply and just nodded his head. For a moment the young man was hypnotized with Shelo's beauty and kindness.
When the ambulance arrived, Shelo took the victims to the hospital. At first glance, the injured motorist is quite serious.
Arriving at the hospital, Shelo helped explain his case to medics. Luckily there were no casualties. Only the wife of the driver of the car whose injuries could be considered serious and require further treatment in the hospital.
Shelo waited in the waiting room until all the victims were treated by doctors.
"Thank you, son. Thanks to you, my wife can be helped soon" said the husband.
"It's okay, Uncle. It's my job to help others" Shelo replied.
Shelo stared intently at the young motorcyclist.
"You! I'm sure you're riding your big bike at high speed. Do you know, you can hurt someone else. Next time be smart in driving. Which streets belong to your ancestors?" sulk Shelo. The young man just silently heard Shelo's words. What Shelo said was indeed true if he rode his motorcycle recklessly earlier.
"Sorry.." said the young man.
"I apologize to your Uncle and Aunt! You almost hurt them."
"Already, Son. What matters is that my wife survived."
"Yes, Uncle. Oh yeah, how's aunt? Can I go see him?" ask Shelo.
"could. Come, Son!"
Shelo knocked on the door before entering the room.
"Honey, this is the person who has helped us" said the husband.
"Oh, thank you so much, son. What's yourname?"
"My name is Shelo, Bi. How's Auntie doing?"
"Auntie is better" replied Marinka.
"Dad! Mama!" Suddenly a voice entered the room.
"Dion?" said the husband who is none other than Maliq.
"Sir Dion?" Shelo is shocked because the two people he helped were Dion's parents.
"Eh? You're Shelo, right?" ask Dion.
"Yes, Brother."
"He is the one who helped us" said Maliq.
"Ah, thank goodness. Thank you, Shelo." Dion breathing relieved. "How's mom doing?" Dion approached his mother's gurney.
"Mom's fine, son."
"So you're Julian and Kartika's daughter?" ask Maliq.
"Yes, Uncle."
"Well, you're a big boy apparently. Last time I saw you was on Dion and Zetta's wedding day. Now that you've grown up and become a beautiful girl" said Marinka.
Shelo smiled awkwardly with Marinka's praise.
"Have you contacted your family? Shouldn't you be going home?"
"Heh?! Oh my, I forgot, Uncle. Just a minute!" Shelo patted his head slowly and grabbed his phone to call his mother.
Maliq and Marinka throw one another a glance. It seems like there is something they will plan.
"I'll call Zetta first to come here" Dion said.
"No need, son. Your father accompanied you. Pity your wife is pregnant," refused Marinka.
"It's okay, Mom. Dad also had injuries. I need to rest at home. Oh yeah, the police officer said he evacuated Dad's car."
Maliq only nodded his head in response to Dion's words.
