Max drove his car to where he had been for four years.
Yes, the man chose to stay in the large house owned by his family after Micah's departure.
PIP
Max opened the door of his apartment unit, a room that is still very clean because there is always one of the services that always routinely clean it, just it feels very cold and empty.
He walked towards the kitchen, where he usually found his wife cooking and smiling at him. Now that his feet were taking him to his room, the man slowly touched the things that were still in order as Micah had last left him.
He took his wife's coat hanging neatly, and hugged her tightly. His heart felt so tight that it held all longings that had long been buried.
Max moved up and opened the door of the room that was connected to his room. Instantly tears flowed, looking at the room for her twin babies.
"Why did you leave me alone? I'm heartless without you.
Did you know that I miss you so bad and our little twin too.
I really wanna hug all of you. Please come back, I beg you." Max said softly, and rested shed all sorrow and tightness in his heart.
*Why did you leave me alone? I'm empty without you.
If you knew how much I miss you and our twins.
I really want to hug you guys. Please come back, I beg of you.
For quite a while he rested, slowly the blonde man got up and walked towards the living room. Max placed a photo of his twin in a large frame and displayed it in the room.
He looked at the photos on the wall and touched them slowly.
"From now on, papa will stay here again, so you don't get lonely." His words were smoothed with the two neutrals that looked glazed.

POV Micah ON
I've spent four years without you, to be honest it all feels so hard to me. Sometimes I have to be overwhelmed to answer the questions of our children who are quite critical at the age of 4 years.
They're always asking about you, and I'm honestly always confused as to what.
Every time I miss you, I always see you through the screen at least a little treat my longing that so fills my heart.
But every time I always feel claustrophobic, when you always send a message to me before or after you perform.
"Oh my God, is this my mistake?" I always ask in my heart about my actions that choose to leave it, but immediately the bad memories reappear that are enough to make my head feel throbbing and even able to make me nauseous.
To be honest, already 2 times a man expressed his feelings to me. The guy who started out as a customer in my shop and ended up making friends with me, Dimas.
But for 2 times I refused it, because there is no more space in my heart. My heart has been sealed by 1 name, Maxim Andreas Larry.
"Mama, what is papa really like? Does he not love us? Why did you never come?"
The question of the tiny lips of the pair of twins managed to break my daydream, which was busy staring pushyly at the glass screen.
"Die, Sunny? Have you gone home from school to say hello?" I try to distract them.
"Ma, I was taunted by my friends. They said I don't have a papa."
Sunny cried and hugged me tightly, while the quiet-tending Shine just stood next to her twin sister.
I'm silent, honestly my heart hurts every time they cry like this. I feel guilty for separating them from their papa.
"Darling, look at Mama. Papa's work and his work is far away. I'll be home, but Sunny and Shine have to be patient." I said with a heavy weight, I felt tight to trick them, my heart felt so painful as to be pierced by thousands of invisible knives.
"Oh yeah, mama has something for you guys." My words that immediately went to the room, took out an object that I had kept for so long.
"It's a gift from papa to both of you, a sign of love from papa. So you don't have to be sad." I opened the red velvet box with Max's necklace and watch while I was pregnant.
"Mikha and Max, so papa's name is Max? So it's true that Daddy Dimas wasn't our papa?" Said Sunny innocently while spelling the inscription engraved on the necklace's pendant.
I scrunched my forehead, for some reason Sunny always thought of Dimas as her father even though many times I have explained, probably because from a young age he was so close to the man. Unlike Shine who seems to dislike Dimas.
"Sunny, listen to me! Uncle Dimas is not your father, got it? So, please don't call him Daddy." My words gave Sunny the understanding to stop thinking of Dimas as his father.
*Sunny, listen to me! Uncle Dimas isn't your papa, okay? Please don't call him Daddy.
Sunny looked down and said softly, "Yes ma, I'm sorry."
I immediately hugged my two little angels, my eyes were heating up, I was already unable to hold back my increasingly forced tears to flow.
Suddenly Shine let go of my embrace and rubbed the tears running down my cheek, "Mommy don't cry, we promise we won't be naughty anymore."
Collapse is my defense, "Mama's sorry baby." I said back to hug them.
PoV Micah Off

Hoek...Hoek...
Dilla was seen repeatedly spewing out her entrails, her face was so pale with cold sweat pouring down her forehead
"Why you, baby? We're going to doctor yuk!" Asked Jerry who seemed worried about his wife, the man slowly approached his wife.
"Stop! Don't come near, that smelly armpit makes me nauseous!" Cebik Dilla who looks limp.
Jerry seemed confused and sniffed the scent of his own armpits, "Scent yank!" Confused speech.
Tong Ting
The sound of the bell rang, Jerry immediately opened the door.
"Eh Ryan, come on in." Jerry said, let Ryan in.
Not long after, Dilla who was feeling better immediately approached Ryan and her husband with two glasses of orange juice and snacks.
"Have a drink, Ryan." Say Dilla and sit next to Ryan.
Jerry looked at his reluctant wife sitting next to him.
"Hey, is your husband me or Ryan?" jerry asked, annoyed.
"Huh, you're smelly armpit! I don't want to get close to you before you smell back." Dilla's protest won't lose.
Ryan only chuckles at the behavior of a married couple who are already like the character of the Tom and Jerry animated film.
"So, I actually want it to Dilla. Dil, you seriously don't know where Micah is or Beautiful? I beg you to be honest, I can't bear to see Max. He may look fine but not with his heart." Ryan stared at Dilla intensely.
For a moment Dilla seemed silent, slowly he exhaled violently.
"Honestly, I don't know Micah or Beautiful. But..."
"What?" Ask Ryan curiously.
"Before Micah left, Indah had once contacted us and he said to go back to his hometown in Kalimantan but after that he had no news anymore even his number was not active." Dilla lirih.
Ryan seemed to think for a moment and stared
Jerry and Dilla.
"I have an idea!"
