"OKAY. Later brother pick up. You ready. About seven o'clock at night brother came."
"OK on, brother. I'm waiting for."
"Miss..."
"Yes, brother."
"You are beautiful."
"Huh?"
"not huh. But yeah. You are beautiful. Wear the clothes you like. If it's blue because it's sister's favorite color."
"Yes but, what's it for, brother? Where are we going?"
"There's. Brother wants a surprise for you. And I'm sure you'll like it."
"Where are you going, brother?"
"Later you will know. If you say it now, it's no longer a surprise. But notice."
"Yes yes. It's really onion. Yes, yes, brother. Nantha still has class."
"Yes, baby."
Deg
With her hands still clutching her smartphone, still calling Ardan, Nantha was shocked to hear the affectionate words coming out of Ardan's lips.
Just this time he was called dear by a man other than his papa, opa and older cousin.
His heart raced very fast. Thankfully, it was just over the phone. Try to meet face to face, somehow Nantha faced the man who was eight years away from her.
Almost resembles Alister of Ardan's age. It's just that Ardan is older, two years apart.
"Nan.." call Ardan softly.
Suddenly he realized that Nantha had no voice. He realized that Nantha did not respond to his words.
"Nan ..." call Ardan again.
But Nantha was still busy with her silence.
"Agnesrani Anantha Pradina." Someone called his name in full.
"Yes, brother. Why?" the screech was mixed with shock.
The entire class automatically focused his attention on Nantha who suddenly screeched to who. While the teacher is busy explaining the problem in front of the class.
"Sister? Since when did you call me brother?"
"P-p-pak Paul?"
Yes, the person who called Nantha's name in full was Paul's father. Physics teacher at Nantha school.
"Who are you talking to?" ask Paul again. His eyes looked at the hand of Nantha who was still holding a cell phone, on the phone.
"A-a-anu, sir. Nanthas... Nanthas..." Nantha was confused as to what to answer. There was not a word in his mind that he wanted to convey to his physics teacher.
Ardan, who was behind the phone, could only smile at hearing everything. He remembers his old school days.
"Here's your phone!" tell Mr. Paul.
"What's it made, sir?" Nantha asked innocently.
"Your phone, I'll hold it. Here!"
"Ja-don't dong, sir. Later if you hold, how do I want to meet my boyfriend? I made a deal with him, sir," whined Nantha.
"Huuu." So cheers protested from Nantha's friends one class.
"I don't accept any excuses. Now choose, give hp to me or I will report you to the principal to hold your cellphone while in school. That is, you can't hold a cell phone while at school."
"Don't dong, sir. Pity me dong, sir. We're not made yet. Later if the headmaster is tense, which I have a broken heart, sir. I'm sad, sir. Later can not video call with ayang beb."
Receded
Ardan decided on the call in the end. Because the end later that phone will be held by Mr. Paul, the physics teacher Nantha.

"Ardan."
"Yes, pa."
Ardan stopped his activity in front of the laptop. He found control + s, then focus on the papa.
"What's up, pa?"
"Branch companies in Kalimantan are having problems. Need us to handle to return to exercise as usual. Are you ready to handle it?"
Papa Sande immediately asked to the point.
"There will be Mr. Denri, pa who takes care of the company all this time. Can't he, pa?"
"No way, son. Mr. Denri has tried, but the shareholders want one of us there. If not, they will cancel their investment with the company. You want the employees there to get all their PHKs if the company closes?"
"No, pa. Poor them."
"Eat it, papa wants you to go. If papa is not possible. You know papa's condition now. It's not strong anymore for long trips."
"Yes already then. Just make Ardan go. When, uh, about?"
"Night at 7. Papa has arranged everything. Including the person who will pick you up at the airport. Have they prepared a place for you to stay there?" bright papa Sande long.
"Staying?" ask Ardan then. "When, pa? And how long?"
"Lho, I told you at 7. Why is it again?"
Papa Sande patted his son's shoulder.
"You stay according to the condition of the company only. If everything is stable and normal again, you can go home. Later on, papa will arrange everything."
"And if there you will find difficulties, you can ask papa. Papa's phone was on for twenty-four hours."
"Good, pa." Finally Ardan assented the word of the father.
"Then, Ardan get ready first huh, pa."
"Yes, son." Papa Sande nodded at his son.
Papa Sande smiled meaningfully at his son. He knows, Ardan is a good and obedient boy. As long as he lives, Ardan has never fought against him. Never had he defied Papa Sande's orders.
"Ardan, what you're doing is what's best for you. You will thank your father later after you return from Kalimantan," muttered Papa Sande in his heart.
"Yes already. Papa's out. You ready. Bring all the clothes and materials you need. So that later there will be no hassles. You don't have an assistant. Or need an assistant?"
"No, pa. Ardan can be alone." Reject Ardan quickly. "Ardan can handle himself, pa."
"After that. You be careful on the road, son. Papa wishes everything was good."
Papa Sande patted her son's back. Then, he passed leaving Ardan who was still loyal at his desk.
Since the departure of Nia and her aunt Sepharina, Ardan prefers to dwell on his desk. Seeking to avoid feeling lonely. He often takes office work to his home.
Back he stared at the screen of his rectangular object.
"May you be pleased with this name. And hopefully, papa changes his heart for the two of you, my sisters. In my eyes, you two are the same. The one that big brother loved very much," muttered Ardan.
Now change, the focus of the net at this time is to look at the frame on the table. There's a picture of Copy, Nia and Ardan inside that frame.
"Sister wishes we could regroup like we used to. There's aunt, papa, Salin and Nia" he said.
Ardan is hopeful that his family's condition will improve soon. Reunited as before.
So busy he was with his thoughts, he did not remember his promise tonight to meet with Nantha. A surprise for the girl.
