...Birth Place...

After a long journey for 12 hours, Rizal finally reached the city of Jakarta where he was born. He clakkson in front of the gate of his father's magnificent house like the Palace. Sounded by the guard of the yard, Mr. Mamat who is approximately 50 years old, he who is still faithfully working serve at the home of his father Rizal.

"Yes for a moment." he shouted, running hastily to open the big and high gate, then he glanced at the window of Rizal's car that was still closed, Rizal quickly lowered his car's glass window slowly and greeted him.

"For Mamat sir, it's Rizal, how are you, sir?" sahut Rizal threw his smile at the guard of the house, for a moment he remembered the look on the face of the car, which they had not met for a very long time.

"Ri-zal?" he said while remembering again, with a look of the eyes that came down while scratching his head, understand because his age is not young anymore his memory is also not as sharp as before.

"Oohs..Den Rizal tooh!" just remembered after a few seconds, he smiled widely to make his unique mustache also widened to the side, his facial expression was very funny at that time. Rizal chuckles at the behavior of Mr. Mamat.

Mr. Mamat was very surprised almost he did not recognize Rizal, because his employer's son had not returned to his house for almost 7 years. Rizal went to a city of people after graduating high school, he only brought his motorcycle first, and now he has returned home with his new car.

Mr. Mamat was amazed to see the figure of his master's son was now turned into a handsome and well-established adult man. Mr. Mamat immediately opened the gate wide, and let Rizal go inside.

Rizal immediately entered his car into the courtyard of the house where he used to live. Still as usual, a cold atmosphere appeared on the outer walls of his house walls, 'there was absolutely no warmth in it' his inner being and he just looked at him with a sour face.

Then Rizal got out and got out of his car, and Mr. Mamat helped take out Rizal's luggage in the trunk of his car, when Rizal was about to enter his house.

His assistant, Mbok Darmin who had not finished sweeping the porch of the house was also surprised when he saw Rizal his master's son was already standing upright in front of the porch, with a large suitcase that he carried.

"Is this Den Rizal really?" he was shocked with his mouth wide open. Still do not believe in the arrival of his employer's second child.

"Hallo mbok, what's the news?" rizal replied, throwing a smile.

"Waaah...Den Rizal is getting handsome, it has been almost 7 years not met, already like Korean artists on TV den, well his body is also getting taller and dashing..." babble mbok Darmin while walking around Rizal, like a fan who was admiring his idol. Mbok Darmin is a maid in her 50s who has worked for 15 years at Rizal's house. So he has memorized the figure of Rizal first.

"This can be.." sipu Rizal. Then Rizal asked about the others.

"Dad, mother and grandmother where is mbok?" tanyakanya.

"Master is still in the workspace, while grandma den Rizal is now still in her bed again accompanied by Madam. has been almost a week this Grandma den sickly. " complained mbok Darmin kalut. Rizal lowered his head in sadness.

"I'll be there soon to see it" he said.

"Yes Den, mbok said to Mister first yes.if den Rizal has returned home" continued the housekeeper.

Rizal assented to Darmin and he immediately walked to his grandmother's room first, but his step was stopped because in front of him there was a middle-aged woman standing up and calling him, that's none other than Tania Rizal's mother.

"Rizal" he said briefly his eyes aimed at Rizal in front of him. "Are you that?" his eyes began to glaze over at him for a long time. Rizal gasped and returned his mother's gaze.

"Rizal, mother misses you.." he said immediately approached Rizal who was still standing and immediately embraced the young man. Rizal was silenced who could not say a word to his mother. After Rizal knew his mother first, always distinguish between himself and Raffi. Rizal was hugged tightly by Tania, but Rizal was still cold to face him just like he used to be. Though Tania's attitude this time seemed very different from her attitude first.

'What's with mom? why is his attitude now gentle to me?' ask in his own heart.

"Mother how are you?" tanya Rizal started to make a sound.

Tania held onto Rizal's face with both hands. "Mother's good, son, but your grandmother's condition is really not good now.she's still lying on her bed" she lamented.

Tania stops Rizal from seeing his grandmother first. "Yes but your grandmother just went to bed and finished breakfast just now, you should meet her later after waking up again" prevent Tania. Rizal let out his breath.

"Alright mom. "follow her mother's advice.

"You better get into the room first and rest for a while, out of the long journey..certainly still tired right?" refer Tania while holding Rizal's left hand.

Suddenly his father Hendra, came to Rizal his second son with the push mbok Darmin using his wheelchair. After the father and son looked at each other for a long time, the father was about to get up from his chair slowly.

"You've gone home, Rizal? thank goodness" he stammered.

"Dad..how are you?" he helped his father stand up and embrace him. His father patted Rizal on the back.

"Well, you see for yourself, still as usual." replied his father in tears, so moved happy with the return of his second son.

The three of them gathered at the dinner table. Hendra began to tell about his company which is now starting to decline drastically after being managed by Raffi. Hendra and Tania begin to regret their actions first, which have offended Rizal a lot. Raffi is not confident in his work.

A year after Hendra's company was fully handed over to Raffi, Raffi planned to propose to his lover but his lover Raffi even betrayed and cheated on Raffi to go crazy. The woman in addition to cheating she has also used Raffi to drain and spend a lot of company money, all exhausted in his jokes. Already found guilty and having an affair now the woman even fled abroad.

While Raffi himself rarely returned home after the incident betrayed his own lover. Sometimes if he comes home late and while intoxicated. Hendra and Tania are very concerned about Raffi's recent attitude, which made their grandmother very sick. Naturally because grandma felt that the most grandchild in unfortunately only Raffi.

In addition, Hendra and Tania also already know that Rizal has set up a Cafe in the city of Yogyakarta, because told by Mira, his aunt. And now Rizal luxury cafe is growing rapidly and getting famous in the city there. Rizal was surprised and did not realize that Aunt Mira had secretly stalked him in Yogyakarta. But Hendra gave her another reason that Aunt Mira went to Yogyakarta just to meet her stepdaughter.

'Had you been nice to me, it turned out that this was the reason, they had known from the beginning that I had opened a business there' he thought

The room is still painted green tosca, and the poster of the famous world football player is still faithfully plastered on the wall of his room, he said, at the learning table his favorite toy is also still neatly stored no less loyal to the poster of the footballer.

After dinner he put his mind to sleep for a while, he remembered and forgot that he had not contacted Tasia. But it's already 23:00 in the evening, maybe her lover's asleep. He just left a whatsapp message and said good-bye to her. Wait until tomorrow to call him again.
