Chapter 35
The next morning, Geffen was hired by Naira. He was very ready at that time to go to the hometown where Naira lived. Naira was very ready at that time, he threw a smile when he saw Geffen sitting waiting for him.
"Mas, let's go now," asked Naira who was very ready.
"Come, I'm ready too" replied Geffen.
Their departure from the city to the village was already known by mama Lita and papa Danu, and they did not go alone, either, but there are some bodyguards who will accompany the trip Geffen and Naira by using another car. On the way Naira begins to sense that there is a car following her journey and thinks that it is a criminal's car.
"Mas, why the car behind it has been following us since, yes, my feelings are not good Mas," said Naira frightened.
"The car will always be behind us Naira, coming with us to the village, because it is a car that carries bodyguards for both of us" Geffen said, throwing a smile.
"So we use bodyguards to go to the village? Why, why do you have to wear bodyguards?" ask Naira wonder.
"In case, who knows your parents did something bad, I don't want my future wife to get hurt back in time, I want to be safe and secure beside me. And you need to know, they're not my man, but papa's mama's man." Geffen threw a faint smile.
Naira really did not expect at that time, because she was in the queen by Geffen, there was no sentence that he said at that time except a handful of happy smiles that he showed. While Geffen himself replied with a smile anyway.
"You don't fear anything, don't worry and don't think nothing, because I'm there for you" Geffen said.
"Thank you very much, I am very moved to see your sincerity and also your papa mama," exclaimed Naira could not say many things.
"Our papa mama Naira, not just my papa mama, I'm sure that they'll be very angry if she finds out you call her that." Geffen made a sullen face.
Naira throws a smile, inevitably she has to be someone Geffen wants her to be, following whatever Geffen says.
Before they arrived at the village where Naira was born, Geffen decided to stop at a roadside that served a variety of fresh fruits. He wanted to bring his hands to Naira's parents, and Naira did not refuse when Geffen did so, he seemed pleased to see Geffen's excellent response to the family he would meet, and after purchasing various pieces Geffen decided to continue their journey.

Almost half a day's journey, they finally arrive at a village where Naira was born, Geffen feels alien to the place, but not to Naira. Naira seemed to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the scenery presented there, then a few minutes later they arrived at the residence of both Naira's parents.
At that time Hanum and Burhan were sitting together at a dining table, they looked very shabby and unkempt, their faces were so wrinkled because there was no treatment, not right to do the treatment, in order to eat everyday they must beg their right and left neighbors.
"Naira, is this your house?" geffen asked, looking at Naira's residence.
"Don't be afraid Naira, we're here to visit your step-parents, and invite them to witness at our wedding, nothing more, so you don't worry. Moreover, you're not both, there's me and some of my bodyguards behind you, so you don't worry about everything." Geffen threw a smile, then touched Naira's shoulder.
Naira breathed a long breath, and then she stepped her legs in. The old door was not closed, so Naira and Geffen could freely enter without knocking. At that time Naira and Geffen stopped stepping when they heard the conversation at the dinner table.
"Sir, let's try if we didn't sell Naira, maybe in our old age she was the one who would take care of us and find us to eat, unlike today, we have no support in old age, we live all shortcomings like this, very sad," said Hanum, who at that time regretted having made a big mistake in Naira's youth.
"You're right, ma'am, maybe if we weren't crazy about the luxury promised by mommy Chan, maybe our lives were so much better than this, maybe now Naira would be our helper. But now, the truth is that only those who feel sorry for us will help us." Burhan replied, feeling the same regret.
Burhan and Hanum cried together, regretting having committed the crime as parents, and all of that was heard by Geffen as well as Naira who was still standing in the same place, Naira swept away the tears that spilled on her cheeks, and tried to toughen up when she heard a regret that was spoken from the lips of her parents.
"Mom, Dad,"
A call from Naira was heard, Hanum and Burhan were shocked when they heard someone calling their name. They looked behind them and saw a woman and a man standing before her.
"Whose father are they?" ask Hanum who doesn't recognize Naira anymore.
"So, you don't know either, Mom, we should go there now" replied Burhan, who also didn't recognize Naira.
As Burhan and Hanum's footsteps drew nearer, the more intense Naira's tears fell before them, he could not lie that he was currently very sad to see the situation of his parents.
"Son, did we know you two before?" burhan asked, looking at Naira and Geffen in turn.
"Greetings sir, I'm Geffen, and this...." Geffen stopped when he turned towards Naira.
"Naira, sir," said Naira.
At once Burhan and Hanum looked at each other again, they seemed to not believe when they heard the name of the girl in front of him calling the name Naira.
"Naira, are you our daughter Naira?" hanum asked with trembling lips when mentioning a princess.
"Yes ma'am, it's Naira your daughter." Naira replied softly, she couldn't linger to acknowledge who she was.
Hanum and Burhan could not believe that their daughter was now so different from before, Naira's current state was so perfect. Beautiful, white, well groomed, and also classy. It felt like Hanum and Burhan were in a dream, but in reality they were in the real world.
