Today is Ali's last day in Jakarta. Tomorrow morning Ali will be back abroad. Continuing her long education is two years away. Ali took three years of college.
"Ai'll play out, yuk?" Ali looked at her little brother who was now joining her sitting with her.
"Where's Brother?" Aileen looked at Ali with her bright round eyes. Several times the eyes flickered funny.
"Emm, where do I want to go?" ask Ali.
"I don't know Brother. Mommy rarely makes Ai play out," he said honestly.
Ali nodded. "Emmm how if we just go around. Then we'll stop by satay's place,"
"Yes brother, I want to" he replied.
"Yes already, Brother get ready first. Ai wait here,"
"Yes Brother,"
It didn't take long, Ali had finally returned to where he was. "Yuk Ai, we say goodbye first to Mother," he invited her to hold Aileen's small hand.
"Mother, can al come in?" Currently Ali and Aileen are in front of the room very mother.
"Come on, son,"
The two sisters and brother walked towards the very mother's bed. Yumna laid her body on the bed. Very lazy to move. Moreover, the age of the womb has entered old age.
"What's up, honey?" Yumna stared at the face of her firstborn, alternating with her little daughter who was very close to her brother.
"Today Al same Ai permission ya Bun, play out. Today is the last day here. Tomorrow morning I am back abroad. Did Mother Ngizinin Al same Ai go?" The young man looked at his mother's face expectantly. "not until the afternoon Bun, can ya Bun?"
Yumna looked at the face of her eldest son. Sometimes the woman nodded her head. "Dear, go. Careful streets. Oh yeah what are you wearing, honey?"
"Really Mother?" Ali looked at her beloved woman with sparkling eyes. "i used Abi's car, Bun," he continued.
"Yes, son, go. Jagan drove his car. Remember your safety" replied Yumna.
"Yes Bun, thank you Bun. We say goodbye first" Ali and Aileen kissed Yumna's hand with reverence.
Ali drove the car slowly. Look around the situation that has begun to change from last year. Many skyscrapers are being built. Seen from the building that just finished its foundation.
"Where are we going?" Aileen looked at Ali who was focusing on driving her car.
"We'll take a look at Ai. Later if there is a good place we stop there," replied Ali glanced at the face of his little brother.
"Good Brother,"
Finally the journey took half an hour. Now the car driven by Ali has arrived in front of the satay seller not far from the residence he used to live with very Mother. Of course also with Andi who also lived there before occupying the house now.
"Why do we stop here, brother?" Aileen stared intently at Ali.
"We ate satay first yes Ai. You see, it's been a long time since you ate that satay. It feels good, because Ai never came here with Mommy or Abi?" tanya Ali looked at her little sister.
Aileen shakes. "No Bang, Abi and Mommy never made Ai come here" he replied honestly.
"Emm, yeah it's okay Ai. What is clear now is that brother has made Ai here," he entertained.
"Yes, thank you, brother,"
"Yes let's go down,"
Ali and Aileen were eating their order satay. Ali with yellow sauce satay, while Aileen with peanut sauce added with a little soy sauce.

Reyhan invites Lani to buy satay where she used to go with her small family. The meeting place with the only one he had broken his blood rope.
The longing for satay made Reyhan invite Lani back. Not with his daughter. Coincidentally his daughter was willing to wait for his wife in their small shop.
"We've reached Mas" Lani rubbed the back of her husband's hand gently.
"Oh yes dear," Reyhan replied with a snap.
Coincidentally in the satay stall there are quite a lot of endings. Because of the taste of the delicious satellite, so many who come there.
"Thank you Ma'am" Lani said after their order arrived.
Lani and Reyhan are very focused on their satay. There was no desire to look the other way.
"Abang, we buy also yes for Mother,"
"Yes Ai, later before we go home we buy for Mother also for Abi," replied Ali.
Degs...
That voice, that voice that hasn't changed in years. Reyhan was well acquainted with that voice. The voice of his son, yes Reyhan must not have mistakenly recognized the voice. Spontaneously Reyhan flipped his body backwards.
"A-ali, my son," Reyhan's eyes ran down the river as he looked at his son's face which happened to be facing towards his back and was now clearly visible as he faced back.
Hearing her husband's words, Lani also turned her body. Right, what her husband said. His son is here. Right where they are. But is he really still a son, considering Reyhan has broken the blood cord between them.
"Yes Mas, that's your son" Lani added.
"We have to meet him Lan," Reyhan said eating the satellite a little quickly. Afraid that his son would leave this place first. Which means he won't be able to see his son.
"Son, wait for Ayahh!!" Reyhan called Ali who was walking towards his car while carrying a crackle containing satay, and his sister's hand on his left side.
Ali ignored the speech, because there were many people. So he kept moving closer to his car.
"Son Aki wait for Mom," Lani yelled to call Ali.
Aki's footsteps stopped if there was a woman calling her.
"Alhamdulillah, you stop son. We called you, but you didn't mind" and now Lani and Reyhan are near Ali.
"Who are they, brother?" Aileen looked up at her brother. It was a funny flickering because the weather today was very hot.
"Ai wait in the car first yes, you want to bica same them for a while," Ali opened the car door to put his sister into the driver's seat.
"Okay, brother," replied Aileen.
After that Ali closed the car door, when his sister was sitting relaxed in the car. Turn to look at the two people. One father who willingly incised the deepest wound for himself. And that woman, the good woman according to Ali. Because during their stay with them, the woman was very good at treating herself.
"I'm sorry, son. Forgive all the mistakes you've made. I'm sorry, son," Reyhan looked at his son.
"I'm sorry? Regretted?" Ali repeated the word.
"Yes, please forgive me my mistake, son. I'm really sorry, son" she asked again.
"Before doing all that to me, once you thought first. Have you digest every word you put out. Never did you think how I felt when you slandered me three years ago. Have you ever thought so. Even easily you break the blood cord between us. Even if you find out what really happened. Do you remember?!!" Ali stared intently at Reyhan. It was the man who gave the wound too deep.
Ali will never forget what he did to her. Even until his death he will never forget.
Reyhan. Reyhan admitted his mistake. Not thinking before acting. And now that regret again gnawed at his heart.
"I'm sorry this flippant father, son. Forgive my past mistakes. I'm really very sorry, son," Reyhan's tears just couldn't be stopped down by themselves.
"It's not that easy to get rid of the pain you're inflicting. Even to this day I still remember. It's possible that to the death will never be lost what you've done to me." Ali looked at Reyhan.
"Sorry son, forgive me,"
"I have to go home. My sister has waited too long. I've forgiven you far from before you apologized but, remember what you've inscribed will never be lost. Even with the relationship you've decided with Me. And yes, we have nothing to do with what you said a few years ago. Our relationship has broken. Have a nice day. Excuse me." said Ali.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I don't want our relationship to break up, son. I'm sorry!" Reyhan pleaded with tears to his son.
"Is there no point in apologizing. There's no point in you persuading me to put together a relationship that you've broken up yourself. Sorry it was your decision from the beginning! " answered Ali before closing the door.
Ali drove away from Reyhan and his wife, who looked at Ali, who had started to move away.
