It's past dinner, but Chandra hasn't come home yet. Nadia became worried that Chandra might faint in the forest or be attacked by a herd of monkeys, because the day was getting darker. There may be a boar blocking Chandra on the way home. Yes, Nadia's mind has probably always been parno since she went to Flores but it feels like it's a natural thing. In this faraway place from the city, Nadia had no one but Chandra.
Nadia quickly put on a sweater and turned on the lights from her phone, she would catch up with Chandra anyway, she would ask Johnny for help to accompany her to the forest.
Just as Nadia had reached the boundary of the fence, a tall man had already walked towards her with a small smile while pointing a flashlight at the street in front of her. Nadia turned off her cell phone flashlight and waited on the fence with a relieved smile.
"Where are you going?" chandra asked as she reached Nadia. Seeing Nadia carrying a cell phone and wearing clothes covered this makes Chandra astonished.
Nadia scratched her nape. "I .. want to call grandma," replied Nadia origin, and of course a lie because the original intention is not so.
"Ah, then let me take you. Come on, go together," Chandra asks while pulling his wife's arm, Nadia's therapy rejects his lie, can make Chandra tired.
"Not so, hehe. No, we'll just go inside."
"Why?" ask Chandra wonder. Nadia pushed her husband's back to enter the fence while chuckling.
"No, not the point. Hehe, I lied anyway, I'm actually waiting for you."
Chandra laughs and obeys Nadia to enter the house which certainly presents simplicity as well as a sense of comfort for the residents.
"Oiya, I have a gift for you."
Chandra pulled something out of her suitcase, and Nadia who was reading a book seemed curious about what Chandra said was a gift.
"Well, what, that?" nadia asked as she loosened her head towards the object Chandra had taken out of a box.
"Hm, it looks like this will be useful to you."
It turns out that an HT or walkie talkie that looks very new. Nadia smiled very widely and her face looked happy to receive the communication object before her. Chandra has two HTs and hands them one to Nadia.
"Because in this place it's difficult to signal, you can use this HT to communicate with me."
"Well, this is the first time I have my own walkie talkie" exclaimed Nadia as a child getting her coveted gift, making Chandra smile warmly at her.
"How do I wear it?" nadia asked in astonishment, she had turned on her HT but did not know how to use the thing.
"This thing works the same as a radio. It is channeled through electromagnetic waves, and the connection can be two-way or more, depending on the distance of the user. Hm, this model can be fifteen kilometers maximum."
"Oh, try. We're talking about this. I went to the room, yes" cried Nadia as she ran into the room and closed the door. Chandra is left sitting on the terrace with his walkie talkie.
Chandra contacted Nadia first, she pressed the red button and immediately sent a voice message.
"Chandra to Nadia, can you hear?"
Nadia chuckled, the girl looked like she saw a magical object that could make Chandra's voice clear. The girl came out of her room and loosened her head at Chandra who was also staring at her.

"I've told you about a new friend whose profession is the same doctor as yours?"
Chandra nodded, but the look on her face changed drastically when Nadia went back to talking about Nellie to him. Chandra last night was eager to talk honestly about Nellie, but it turns out Nadia and Nellie's relationship is far enough, where can Chandra explain her past to Nadia if the situation is like this.
"It turns out, Nellie had met her boyfriend who had proposed to her. But they failed to marry because Nellie refused her proposal. Nellie's so hot right now, she also looks so moody when I come along for grandma's phone."
Chandra did not respond to Nadia's remarks, because in fact the man Nadia meant was herself.
"Emmm. What better, you don't have to think of others too far like that?" Nadia looked up at Chandra, who was smiling at her.
"I mean, you?"
"Hm. I mean, you don't think too much about other people's problems."
Nadia smiled wryly. "I feel sorry for Nellie. He probably still loves his girlfriend. Also, Nellie's with her boyfriend isn't breaking up yet. They just failed to get married, right? Meaning their relationship isn't over yet."
Nadia let out a huffed breath, Chandra grabbed her shoulder and rubbed it gently. "It's a good idea that Nellie is married to her boyfriend. Nellie's a doctor, and her high-ranking officer boyfriend, meet them in Iran, too" Nadia complained again as Nellie told Chandra.
Chandra is silent, should Chandra tell Nadia of her past with Nellie? But ... will Nadia think of Chandra as a bad man for ignoring a woman as good as Nellie?
Nadia tells him before they decide to get married, that Nadia does not want to cry anymore, does not want to lose again, and does not want to be disappointed again. Also, Chandra has promised not to do those three things to Nadia.
"Hm, Chandra. Do you mind if we go to Jakarta for another month to attend the music awards?"
Chandra rounded his eyes, his stiff face looking cute due to his shocked expression so.
Nadia tried several times to say this but she only dared to talk this morning when she and Chandra became a teacher help at a remote school.
"One more month, huh?" reiterate Chandra's kinda thinking.
"Yes, one more month. Actually, I didn't want to go there, but my admonition asked me to come. Also, I can't leave without your permission either."
"Why don't you want to go there?" chandra asked Nadia as she played a long strand of her wife's hair in the wind.
"I don't want to look at the camera or face the reporters" said Nadia desperate and lowered her head.
"We're leaving" Chandra said with a warm smile on her face. "I'll protect you in that place. As your husband, as well as your bodyguard during our time there."
Gently, Chandra stroked the right side of Nadia's face, and the smile of her face accompanied by deep dimples made Nadia drift away with an unusual feeling. A feeling that not even Vidi or her father ever gave her. This was very different, making Nadia almost collapse if only she did not hold her husband's arm.
