The girl dancers on stage hypnotize everyone. They move in harmony following the music that comes from the friction of the violin on one side of the stage. Their bodies are limber as if they do not have bones, it is thanks to hard training for a full month in order to display the best ballet dance for all spectators.
Their performance was titled White Goose Dance, their small legs move agile to and fro master the stage.
Faralyn was in the middle, she really looked like a little goose dancing on top of the lake. Kelana and Renjani stared proudly at Faralyn who could master the difficult movement well. It was the fruit of Faralyn's hard work all along.
To the right of Kelana, Wira and Ratih also could not take their eyes off the stage reluctant to miss Faralyn's movement even if it was only one second. Wira was very proud to see the appearance of the grandson, he did not need to force Faralyn to learn music or dance, the child was born with the blood of art flowing in his body.
The audience exclaimed boisterously as Faralyn raised her feet high touching her hands. They were stunned by the movement of the four-year-old.
The five little dancers held each other and bowed at the same time sign that their performance had succeeded. A standing ovation ended their incredible performance. Finally the violinist also walks to the center of the stage and does the same movements with the dancer as the cover. At that time, the audience realized that the violinist was Elara. They could see it clearly as the lights panned right at Elara's figure.
Renjani was stunned, so the violinist from abroad that the mothers talked about during the training time was Elara. Why Renjani didn't know about this, he really didn't think it was Elara.
Elara's gaze led to Kelana, a faint smile on her tiny lips. He knew that one of the ballet dancers was Kelana's son because they had met when the rehearsal was clean yesterday. Elara was able to recognize him immediately because Faralyn was very similar to Renjani.
The audience also applauded for the Elara violin game which was no less spectacular.
Kelana looked towards Renjani avoiding Elara's gaze.
"Why?" Renjani realizes that Kelana is avoiding Elara's gaze. "You scared?"
"What do you mean, Re?" Kelana clasped Renjani's hand.
"Are you afraid to fall in love again if you see her?"
As she shook her head, "nothing can change my feelings for you, I just want to keep your feelings." He does not want Renjani to misunderstand. Not the most hobbyist woman makes her own conclusions in her head and Kelana does not want Renjani guessing at something that he does not do. Don't want to ruin this happy day with a fight.
"I've proven my love."
"With?"
"With this." Kelana felt the stomach of Renjani, this morning Renjani tried to use a test pack and it turned out to be positive. Their one-night honeymoon in Bandung was a success. They have also done checks in the hospital to confirm Renjani's pregnancy.
"I can't wait to see Fara's reaction when we tell her later."
"He must be very excited."
"I went back to her samperin." Renjani heads backstage to meet Faralyn. While Kelana stayed in her place to see the appearance of the others.
"Mother's son is great!" Renjani lifts Faralyn's body and kisses her. "You are amazing, dear."
Faralyn sumringah praised Renjani, she hugged her mother's neck affectionately.
"This is your son?" The voice of a woman appearing from behind distracts Renjani and Faralyn. Elara approached them with a faint smile.
"Yes." Yeah." Renjani replied in a slightly choked up voice, it has been several years since they met last time.
"How are you?" Elara extended a hand.
"As you can see, you?" Renjani lowers Fara to welcome Elara's hand. Once down, Faralyn immediately ran towards her other friends. A child of Faralyn's age can never be silent.
"I just got married last month."
"Oh yeah?" Renjani widened surprised by the happy news, he was happy if finally Elara found her moorings. "Congratulations."
Elara chuckled, "I don't think I'll be able to marry anyone for life."
"There's no reason to be alone for a lifetime, you're the perfect woman."
"I can't say forgetting Kelana is easy, it's much harder than playing The Last Rose Of Summer." Elara smiled bitterly, even the tip of her finger was injured while playing the song Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst. But forgetting Kelana was like the impossible thing Elara did until she finally met with Grant last year.
Renjani does not understand what Elara said, it seems that musicians do like to use the term songs while chatting which of course Renjani does not know. But it seems that the song Elara mentioned is quite difficult but forgetting Kelana is much more difficult. At least Renjani knew the meaning of their conversation. Renjani goes awry, she doesn't know what to say to Elara right now.
Elara breathed a sigh of relief, "but now that I've met my life partner, she can make me comfortable and slowly take Kelana's place in my life."
"May you always be happy." Renjani touches the back of Elara's hand, "I don't mean to be presumptuous but you deserve to be happy El."
"I'm not here to see Kelana."
"No, I never thought so." Renjani flicked her hand, knowing that Elara had come here purely because of work. Moreover, the existence of Elara will not affect the Kelana and Renjani households. Currently Renjani is fully confident of Kelana. They have been married for over 6 years.
"I think the world's over since I knew Kelana was married to you but the truth is the world keeps spinning no matter what I'm going through at the time."
"I'm sorry about that."
"It's not your fault, it's all gone, I shouldn't be talking to you."
"I'm glad you've found a man who can finally fill up all the space in your heart."
Elara laughs discordantly, Renjani is right, Grant has made Elara forget her heartache and regret leaving Kelana first.
Elara reached out hugging Renjani, she had to do that to really make peace with herself.
"I can't be friends with you." Elara muttered after breaking down the embrace.
"I know." Renjani understands Elara's feelings, although now Elara seems to be fine but it is quite difficult for them to make friends. "I don't want to be friends with you either."
Elara laughed again, when she first met, Renjani was not this brave. Renjani is just an innocent girl who is easily bullied. But now Renjani has developed a lot. His appearance also looks classy until Elara admits, Renjani deserves a match with Kelana.
"Although not friends but we can greet each other if we meet outside."
"See you later, by the way, your son is beautiful, his dance is good."
"Thank you for the compliment, you were amazing." Renjani admitted that the violin Elara game is indeed extraordinary equivalent to Kelana.
"Mother!" Faralyn approached Renjani, "want to change."
"Come on." Renjani clasped Faralyn's hand, "i go first." The answer to Elara.
Elara sees Renjani leaving with Faralyn, both disappearing behind the curtain towards the dressing room.

"You know the song The Last Rose of Summer?" Renjani moved to Kelana who was watching the score on top of her piano.
"Know honey, everyone knows the song." Kelana answered without seeing Renjani, he was serious with a paper in his hand.
"I mean I'm not a person." Renjani frowned, after 6 years of marriage with Kelana why Renjani did not know anything about music. Renjani also wants to understand the things that Kelana knows in the field of music as simple as the title of a popular song in music circles.
Kelana finally put down the paper and turned her attention to Renjani realizing something was wrong with her wife.
"Is the song difficult?"
"The Last Rose of Summer includes a difficult but not as difficult song as Caprice in D major'Il labirinto armonico."
Renjani twisting his eyeballs, he no longer cares what Kelana mentioned he still does not understand.
"If you want that Caprice song." Renjani raises her chin with a fierce face, she has no reason to be upset at Kelana but because Elara and Kelana both know the song then Renjani feel alienated.
"Caprice in D major' Il labirinto armonico?" Kelana turns to disbelief.
"Yes." Yeah." Renjani nodded confidently.
"Now?" Kelana asked once again, she was confused because Renjani suddenly wanted to hear the song.
"Next year's time?"
"But Fara's sleeping again Mom, she'll wake up." Kelana tried to find a reason for Renjani to stop asking him to play the song.
"This study is soundproof, not a lot of excuses." Renjani takes one of the violins and gives it to Kelana.
"The song is very difficult." Rengek Kelana is like a child who asks his mother for toys.
"But you've been playing violin for years."
"I'll try." As he took a deep breath, he forgot the last time he played the song. Maybe while studying at Melody and that was a dozen years ago. Renjani is so cruel.
Through swiping the violin perched on his shoulder with a fast tempo, he still remembered every note on the song. His fingers are good at pressing the violin strings alternately.
Renjani who initially put on an annoyed expression turned amazed until her mouth was half open. The violin's groove sounded deafeningly leaping, the longer it got faster.
Not only amazed Renjani was also surprised at the song whose title alone he could not pronounce correctly. Renjani was brought to the European kingdom in the 1700s where he wore a long satin dress featuring curves and lace stacked on the neck. The song Kelana performed had hypnotized Renjani, she felt her body drift into the past.
"Aah!"
Renjani blinked at Kelana's screeches and the song that originally hypnotized her suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Renjani suddenly panics when Kelana suddenly puts down her violin. "Your hand is wounded." He examined two of Kelana's fingers that were peeling and slightly bleeding.
"Maybe because I haven't played that song in a long time."
"I'm sorry." Renjani immediately went to take the plaster for Kelana. "I should have believed you that songs are hard."
"You should praise me."
"You're so great, I've seen you play that song just now." Renjani blew Kelana's wound and wrapped it in plaster.
"I think you crave those tough songs."
"You know I never crave." Renjani clasped Kelana's hand, feeling very guilty for forcing Kelana to play a very difficult song.
"You gotta crav, there's me." Kelana doesn't want Renjani to feel alone like when Faralyn was pregnant, "I'll fulfill all your wishes."
"I actually sprained earlier."
"Because what?" Kelana stretched out Renjani's hand and took the wife into his arms.
"Elara said it's harder than the Last Rose of Summer."
"Then you're jealous?"
Renjani nodded despite initially being embarrassed to admit it.
"Then forgetting Elara to me is like playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
"It's hard too." Renjani looked up at Kelana sharply.
"I mean it's so easy, even Faralyn's good at playing it, let's not care about anyone else, I'll just see you watching you and loving you for the rest of my life."
Secretly Renjani smiled, she hid her already reddened face in the chest of Kelana field.
