After I received the money from Mr. Joko, I rushed to run for a taxi.
Waiting for a while, the taxi did not come either.
Finally I decided to run towards the road pointed by Mr. Joko earlier, hoping for a taxi passing by.
Up to a few meters running, at the end I saw the light from the car lights that were walking towards me.
Grateful that I saw it was a taxi, I immediately stopped the taxi.
After the taxi stopped, I went up and called my destination.
During the trip, I was always worried about Vania.
'Vania, why did you just leave me?
Did Vania hear my quarrel with Papa and Mama earlier, making her hurt?' muttered.
After traveling for thirty minutes, I finally arrived in front of my apartment building.
"This is sir, the fare" I handed him a red note I asked from Mr. Joko earlier and then rushed out of the taxi.
"This is the change, sir." said the taxi driver, but I ignored him and just left.
I ran quickly to my apartment, hoping that Vania would be there.
Until the end I was in front of my apartment door, without hitting the bell first, I just went in.
After I went inside, I searched into Vania's room, but did not find her whereabouts there.
I also checked the toilet in her room, but it was empty.
I checked Vania's wardrobe, but it still contained Vania's clothes.
But even so, it still made my worry disappear.
"Vania... Where are you? Are you here?" I shouted, but there was nothing in return.
My mind was getting messed up, but I still decided to look for Vania to all corners of the room.
"Vania.." I said again, and still no reply.
After all the places I've been looking, until there's no missed spot in this corner of the house, but still there's no Vania.
I was sitting limp on the floor crying, feeling like my head was about to break at the thought of all this.
Just felt happiness, in just an instant happiness was gone.
I was confused to find Vania where else, especially now that it was night and Vania also brought Elmira who was a baby.
"Vania, where are you? Where should I look for you?" say me.
Before long, I heard like the sound of an open door, I hurried to my feet to check. I wish it was Vania.
Instantly my heart was relieved when I saw the woman I hoped would have been standing on the doorstep with a concerned condition right.
Her puffy eyes, could not cover up if she had been crying for too long.
Without warning, I immediately approached Vania and hugged her.
I deliberately hugged her not tightly because of her position that was holding Elmira.
"Vania, where have you been? I've been looking for you since, why did you just leave me?" I said as I stroked her hair gently.
Vania didn't answer, but I could hear her holding back tears.
Vania remained silent, so I took off my arms and looked at Vania.
I saw the face of Vania who was already so wet by her tears.
Immediately I gently rubbed his face which was already in a flood of tears.
It felt like his face was so cold when I touched it, I also touched Elmira's face which was just as cold as Vania's.
"Vania, you should enter first. You must be cold after the outside especially these nights" said I while bringing Vania to step inside.
Even though Vania didn't answer, she still wanted to follow me to get inside.
"Sit down on Vania" I said, and Vania sat on the sofa.
I saw Elmira sleeping in Vania's arms.
"Here, Elmira must be tired because you have been carrying her ever since. Let me just lay in the baby box" I also untied the pull sling used by Vania and took Elmira from her sling.
I immediately took Elmira to the room and put her in the baby box, enveloping her tiny body that was still cold because it was exposed to the night wind.
Even after Elmira had already slept in the baby box, she still remained asleep and did not wake up.
After making sure Elmira was safe and asleep, I followed her to the living room where Vania was sitting.
"Vania.." I said as I knelt before Vania and clasped her hands.
"Why are you here? You should have stayed at your house accompanying your parents" Vania said.
"No Vania, from now on I will always accompany you" I replied so as to make Vania look at me in astonishment.
"Why? I do not want to make you a child who is a dissident to parents, especially just because of me" replied Vania.
"Did you hear everything my parents said?" ask me, and Vania nodded.
I got up right away, and sat down next to Vania and embraced her.
"You don't have to think about everything my parents Vania said. For me, the most important thing is to stay with you for as long as you. Didn't we promise to keep fighting for our love no matter how big of a problem we face?" say me.
"But for me it's too much, I also feel guilty because you got into a fight with your parents" Vania said.
I also let go of my embrace.
"You take it easy, maybe my Mom and Dad are angry right now. But I believe someday my parents will definitely accept you" I reply.
"But what about you?" ask Vania again.
"You don't have to worry about that, Vania. With or without my parents' blessing, I will still marry you, and I will fight for you no matter what. So, please stick with me Vania, we both fight for our love, you want to?" I said while holding his hand.
Somewhat long Vania thought before answering my question.
I know that right now he just feels guilty and unhappy about hearing my debate with Mama and Papa.
"All right, I want to. I'll stay with you, and we fight for our love together.
I also really hope that your Mama and Papa will accept me someday.
I'm sorry, because I've made a lot of trouble in your life.
And make you fight with your parents.
I was so scared that you would leave me.
But I also do not want to be a selfish woman because I only think about my feelings" said Vania with teary eyes.
