Clarissa focused on seeing Vanetha playing the piano. With a very flexible finger - his fingers touch the piano keys. Vanetha trained her skills using the Piano Instruction Guidebook titled ‘Bagatelle No.25 (Fur Elise) — Ludwig Van Beethoven’
Although Vanetha is only 14 years old, Vanetha is able to rival the Professional Pianists with her abilities.
Clarissa joined Vanetha. He sat next to Vanetha. They also touched the piano keys simultaneously.
“Kak Clarissa, how about sister Clarissa sing the song ‘A Thousand Years — Christina Perri ’ ?” said Vanetha who proposed the idea while touching just any piano keys
“I'll sing?” say
“Yes, sister Clarissa will sing, and I will play her piano.” Vanetha said with a beaming face
“Ehm alright..” my word resigned.
“Siap sis. One... Two... Three...” said Vanetha who started pressing the piano keys.
Songs written by Clarissa
Heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer...

On the other hand, Jonathan is like a ‘Stalker’ who is watching Clarissa and Vanetha. He opened the door to Vanetha's room.
He was swept away by Clarissa's beautiful sweet voice.
Jonathan recalls his past with Clarissa.
8 Years ago
Jonathan and Clarissa play piano together. With a cheerful Clarissa and Jonathan pressed the piano keys simultaneously and rhythmically.
Jonathan was 10, and Clarissa was 8.
It was the last time Clarissa remembered the happy moment with Jonathan. Before the accident claimed Clarissa's memory. Clarissa suffered from amnesia after a violent impact hit her head during an accident. Clarissa and Jonathan have never met again. After the tragedy of Clarissa's accident, Jonathan moves to London for following his parents.

Jonathan came back from his daydream
“Haish, what am I marrying? if I want to make Clarissa come back to me, I have to approach her slowly - land and make her memory return even if only ‘sikit’.” Jonathan said by exposing her hair back
Vanetha who noticed her brother was peeping at her.
He turned to Jonathan and quickly refocused his piano keys again.
“What's wrong with brother Joe?” murmured Vanetha
Because of not focusing, Vanethapun wrong pressing the piano keys.
“What's Vanetha?” I said with surprise because Vanetha wrongly pressed the piano keys. And Clariss stopped singing.
“Ah no brother. I just wasn't focused. Let's repeat the last lyrics” said Vanetha covering up her unrest.
“Siap sis. One... Two... Three...”
And all along I belive I would find you
Time has brought you heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years...
I’ll loved you for a thousand more —
Clarissa stopped singing, and then Vanetha stopped.
“Wow sister Clarisa! big brother's voice is so good! why not become a singer?” vanetha was amazed
“No, I will continue my education” said I
Clarissa took her phone and looked at the clock on her phone.
The clock shows at 19:27 p.m.
“Ehm... Vanetha, it's night. Looks like alu should go home” said me
“It's time for dinner, sister Clarissa doesn't want to have dinner together first?”
Clarissa and Vanetha walked out of the room.
They walked to the dining room.
At the large dining table, Sean, Jonathan, and Viollet were already preparing - ready for dinner.
“Oh Vanetha, Clarissa, I was just about to call you guys for dinner together” Jonathan said by pulling up a chair for me and Vanetha.
Vanetha and Clarissa sat on their benches.
The dining table includes Beef Burguignon, Cassoulet, Ratatouille, Foie Gras, Coq au Vin, Soupe a l’ oignon, Confit de Canard, and Creme Brulee desserts.
The food comes from France, and the chef is also a native of France.
Jonathan, Clarissa, Sean, Viollet, and Vanetha eat quietly.
In the middle - the silence of dinner...
Because of Clarissa's curiosity, Clarissa finally ventured to ask...
“Em... Where are your parents? why hasn't it been seen?” ask me while wiping my mouth with a tissue
Jonathan hunchbacked
“That problem... Our parents live in London, and they will come visit every 3 months once” Vanetha replied
“Only you two in Jakarta?” Viollet
“Yes... I followed brother Joe living in Jakarta because our parents did not have time for us” said Vanetha sounding soft
“Sorry to have asked you something that makes you uncomfortable Vanetha..” I said by holding Vanetha's hand.
“It's okay - what brother. We are used to living independently.”
“Sorry Joe”
“It's okay - what Clarisaa. Actually my goal in Jakarta is to find someone, and ‘Orang’ I've met. Actually Jonathan was stunned because for the first time he heard Clarissa call it ‘Joe’ after a long time.
Dinner is over.
“Joe, we go home first. Thank you for today” Sean said
“No, thanks to you guys who have taken the time for today” Jonathan said
“Thank you for today Vanetha”
“I also thank you sister Clarissa, sister Viollet, and sister Sean”
Jonathan and Vanetha deliver Sean, Viollet, and Clarissa to the front of the mansion.
“Clarissa, can I give you?” said Jonathan
“Iya Cla, after all our directions are different. Aren't Sean?” viollet said, nudging Sean's arm and smiling, which Clarissa did not understand
“Ya Rissa, it's already night.” said Sean who scratched his neck that does not itch
“Bye Cla, Brother Joe, and Vanetha”
Sean and Viollet rush to leave Jonathan's mansion.
“Come Clarissa”
Jonathan clasped Clarissa's hand to walk towards her car.
During the trip there was no talk of a word. Confidence returns between Jonathan and Clarissa.
In front of Clarissa's mansion
Clarissa got off Jonathan's car.
“Thank you for today and thank you for driving me”
“No, no, no. I'm the one who's grateful for you. Because I've been with my sister Vanetha all day this”
“I go in first”
Jonathan looked at Clarissa's back away until she disappeared behind the door.
