Thomas stared blankly at the street through the taxi window. All night he was in a state of shock, having heard from Arumi. Her mother was gone, her sister was a victim of violence, and her father was nowhere.
Two years ago he came back when Arumi's parents died, everything looks fine. Her mother drove to the airport, gave her advice to be diligent in studying, can not date first, stay focused, do not be late to eat, diligently take vitamins, and hug her tightly. That was the best memory he always remembered.
Thomas, close his eyes. Trying to convince me it's not all a dream. However, when he opened his eyes all remained the same.
Shortly after the taxi stopped, after paying, he walked into the airport, cold air gushed through his bones. The leaves begin to turn red and fall off.
While carrying a small organizer, containing his documents and tickets. After that, Thomas began to queue for immigration.
After an hour and a half in line, he was finally able to enter the departure lounge. Thomas sat on the bench, checking his phone.
Arumi deliberately did not tell that Gisel was forced in addition to being tortured, so that Thomas was not too worried. He only said that even his mother died, Gisel became a victim of torture, and his father disappeared.
About an hour waiting, Thomas was finally able to sit in the plane that would take him to the homeland. He felt relieved, and prayed everything would be smooth. He told Arumi, if he was on a plane and would leave soon. He then switched off his phone during the flight.
****
After more than twenty-four hours of travel, the plane finally landed safely. Thomas waited in line for his luggage, after getting it, he immediately rushed to get out of the airport.
Arrive arrive.
BRUKK.....
Someone ran up to Thomas and hit him, and the contents of his bag scattered.
"Oh...!" He grimaced and grimaced, and picked up the contents of the scattered bag.
Thomas helped him collect small items from his scattered bag. Then he handed it to the beautiful girl who had hit him.
They stood up, and Thomas smiled at him.
"Eh, thank you. Sorry for bumping. I really didn't mean it." The words are not good.
"It's okay." Answer Thomas.
"Thank you again, if you'll excuse me." His words hurriedly, while dragging his suitcase.
Thomas sighed deeply, then took his suitcase. When he lifted his suitcase, it turned out that there was a cell phone tucked underneath.
"God.. Oi... Your phone!" Shouted Thomas as he hurriedly tried to chase after the girl who hit him just now.
However, late. The girl got into a car and left. Thomas gasped for air, and set his breath back. Then stared for a moment at the gold-colored phone in his hand. He sighed, then kept it in his backpack.
A black car stopped right in front of him. Thomas was silent, and he retreated to get away. Car door open.
"Thomas!!" Arumi exclaimed as she got out of the car.
Thomas stunned. He returned his cousin's embrace and was still shocked by what he saw.
"You Arumi? Really!"
"Yes, I'm Arumi. Your cousin."
"God Rumi... I'm really surprised, how could...?" Ask.
"Of course, let's go in. Long story. Let's go home first." Take Arumi.
Thomas and Arumi get into the car, and Bejo takes them home to Mr. Haris's residence.
Thomas who was still not lost was shocked, still staring at Arumi in disbelief.
"Why Thomas?" Asked Arumi who was feeling uneasy with Thomas's gaze.
"How can you?" Ask Thomas curiously.
"I'm married to Mr. Haris." Arumi replied while showing the ring on her ring finger.
Thomas glared in disbelief.
"really? How could? What's going on?"
Arumi patted the back of her cousin's hand yet.
"Om Dipo handed me over to Mr. Haris with his collapsed company to pay his debt." Arumi told Thomas.
"Gosh, Rumi. I really don't believe in any of this." He said while shaking his head.
"We go home first, so you can clean your body. After that we go to the hospital. Aunt Anne was buried there. Tomorrow's the funeral."
Thomas nodded. "good. I just follow you. Thanks for everything." Her speech.
"The same." Answer Arumi.
They arrived at Mr. Haris's residence.
"Thomas, I'm so glad for your loss." Greet Mr. Haris when he sees Thomas and Arumi arrive.
"Thank you Mr. Haris." Answer Thomas politely.
"I've arranged for the funeral tomorrow. Arumi takes care of everything." Said Mr. Haris.
Thomas nodding.
"Let him clean himself first." Arumi said to Mr. Haris.
"Yes. I leave everything to you." Mr. Haris said to Arumi.
"alright. Thank you for the trust you have given me."
Mr. Haris nodded at Arumi's words.
He looked at Arumi's back who was driving his cousin to the room next to the house, which is usually used for guest guests who come to stay. Mr. Haris feels Arumi has been able to run some home affairs.
She has also heard reports about Arumi's work at her dancing school. Classes are always crowded and fans are growing. Many events that have been attended by students dance classes there, ranging from championships, as well as other entertainment events. There was also a demand from some singers to use choreography from the dancing class students there. Since Arumi worked there, a lot has happened.
Ciara, the manager of the dancing school always gave Mr. Haris a report on the development there. This includes some changes made by Arumi. Mr. Haris planned to give the responsibility of the school to Arumi, so, he deliberately gave some small assignments for his trials. Because he saw Leon wasn't ready for it.

"Thomas, when it's done, we'll go to the dining room, we'll eat first, we'll go to the hospital." Arumi.
"All right." Thomas answered, and he shut the door of the room.
Thomas immediately headed for the bathroom and flushed his body under the shower.
He still does not believe everything he has experienced.
He had seen his father do business with people he had never known or seen. He also overheard his father talking on the phone about guns and drugs. Thomas didn't want to think that his father was doing that dirty business. He denied. He didn't want to think that his father was involved in that bad thing.
But apparently, this is all a result of his Papa's dirty business. Although Arumi hasn't told the story yet, Thomas begins to guess the cause of everything.
Thomas took a towel and dried his body. Then he changed clothes. There was the sound of the phone ringing and the vibrations from inside his backpack.
He remembered the girl at the airport, who dropped her phone. Then he took the phone and pressed the answer button on the phone.
"Oh.. Ha-helo.. Who's there? Hi, please give me that phone back!" The girl's voice at the airport was heard, but this time it sounded fierce.
"Yes. Sorry who is this?" Thomas asked in confusion.
"Heh, listen! The phone you're holding is mine! Please return it immediately!" His impact.
"How do I know if it's yours or not?"
"Huh, that's really mine! The limited-edition, gold-colored phone with the phone number 012345678888, and I don't know where to drop it because it's hunting!" Says fierce.
Thomas just smiled an amused smile hearing the girl grumble, sounding funny. He imagined the expression on the face of the beautiful girl while being a manyun.
"Heh, isn't that my phone? So please return it to me immediately, otherwise I will report to the police!" Threatened words.
Thomas let out a long breath before speaking.
"Miss, I'll give it back to you, but I can't right away. I'm preparing for my mother's funeral." Thomas replied in a serious tone.
"Ohh... So where are you? Let me take it to your place." The girl's words softened after Thomas said he was in mourning.
"Well, tomorrow's funeral, you can meet me at the city hospital." Answer Thomas.
"I'm sorry, if I may know, what's your Mama's name?"
"Anne." Answer Thomas.
Both were silent for a moment.
"Mrs Anne, Arumi's aunt? Holy hooch! Then who are you?" The girl across the street was surprised.
"I'm Anne's son, Arumi's cousin." Thomas insists.
"Yes God! I'm so sorry for your loss. Tomorrow I'll get my phone. Please take good care of it, because for me it works. Sorry for misunderstanding this."
" Thank you."
" All right, see you tomorrow."
"Yes." Yeah."
The girl turned off her cell phone call after Thomas answered her.
Thomas smiled after that. It looks like the picture of the beautiful girl into the background filled the screen. He stared at the gold phone still in his hand. Then put it back in his backpack.
