Flashbacks
About 6 years ago. Kevin visits his parents' house, he always spends his free time meeting with his family abroad.
His return was welcomed by his family. Kevin Blasteran, his father is an Indonesian citizen and his mother is a foreign citizen. They have settled abroad. Custom is not a problem there. Even eastern customs have been lost there, because the majority abroad are mostly foreigners, so the custom just disappeared.
" Welcome, dear." Said Paula's mother while hugging her firstborn.
His mother Kevin is fluent in Indonesian fluently he is easy to pronounce the language.
Kevin rested his body in the room, after evening he went down and came out of his room. At that time the atmosphere in his house was very many people. He's feeling confused.
" Let's come, baby." Said Paula as she invited Kevin to sit down and join their family.
" What is this Ma?" kevin was confused.
" It's a party to welcome your return." Said her mother slowly.
" Why should you welcome me like this." Say Kevin again.
" It's okay, baby." Say mother.
All the extended family came and enjoyed the dishes that Kevin's family had prepared. His father Kevin stood in the middle to say a word.
His father spoke it in a foreign language, because the family of his mother could not speak Indonesian. Only Kevin's family knows Indonesian.
" Welcome my boy, we are very happy with your presence here. And papa will surprise you. (Welcome my son, we are very pleased with your presence here. And papa will surprise you)." Everyone in the room clapped their hands, Kevin just kept quiet and enjoyed the show.
His father called someone with his finger. A bule girl approached her papa and stood beside her.
" This is Jasmin, she is your future wife (This is jasmin, she is your future wife)." Papa.
Kevin was shocked, he spontaneously stood up and left the room. The family who were there were also confused, because they did not expect Kevin's reaction to be very contrary to what his father said.
Kevin went back to his room and directly packed the clothes into a suitcase. He came out of the room with his suitcase.
" Kein, where are you going?" ask papa.
" I'm going back to my homeland." Kevin Ketus.
" Your Kevin just arrived this afternoon, why do you have to come back today." Said his mother with tears.
" I'm sorry Ma, I don't like being paired." Kevin said in front of the crowd.
All the families who were there were confused and could not decipher the conversation. The Jasmin family was also confused by the language they spoke. Only they concluded that Kevin did not accept the match.
Kevin put his foot out of the house.
" Keep stop." Her father said firmly.
" I'm sorry, Pa, I have to go back. Please don't think of me as a child. I can find a partner of my own. I can make my own move." Kevin said firmly.
Plaque, his papa slapped Kevin in the face.
" Dare you fight!" His face looked angry, his jaw hardened his eyes red.
All the families are silent. Lady Paula tried to calm her husband while she broke into tears.
" Go away from here, never step foot in this house again." Shouted papa.

Kevin's daydreams are crumbling. When a message comes in. He looked at his cell phone screen. There was a message from Menik, which was.
Father how are you.
Kevin replied to the chat.
I'm kind. You how are you.
Not long Menik sent a reply.
I'm good sir.
Why don't you sleep. Reply from Kevin.
I can't sleep yet sir. Replies from Menik
You can't sleep because you think of me. Kevin replied again.
Kevin waited for an answer from Menik.
Ja.
Kevin immediately soared in excitement to get that answer from Menik. According to him, Menik's love signal is already green. He sent another message.
May I call you.
Menik.
Be able.
Calls connected but not regular calls, Kevin made a video call. Menik answered the call.
" Day Night." Kevin said quickly.
" Mister's Night." Answer Menik.
" Where are you again." Ask Kevin.
" It's sir at home, it's 2 in the morning, where I might be outside." Answer Quickly.
Kevin looked at the clock on the wall of the hotel room. Medium time indicates eight o'clock at night, and overseas differences equal homeland 6 hours.
Menik received the call by lying on his bed. Kevin, too, was leaning his body on the back of the bed.
They had a proper conversation, from conversations about Menik's activities and Kevin's activities abroad.
" Sir, what season is it?" ask Menik.
" Summer." Answer Kevin.
" O stews. It's rambutan season." Answer Menik slowly.
" Not nik stew. But summer." Kevin repeated the word summer.
" O summer, I'm kirain chicken stew." Menik Say.
It did not feel like the time of their conversation had reached half an hour, Menik could not open his eyes anymore.
" Sir I'm sleepy." Say Menik with eyes closed.
" Yes asleep, I want to see your face while sleeping." Answer Kevin.
Menik did not answer anymore, the video call remained connected, only Kevin saw Menik's face sleeping. There was a sense of longing when he saw the innocent face of Menik sleeping soundly. I want him to come and embrace that body. But he could only hug Menik in his wishful thinking.
