Devano can't sleep and he shouldn't sleep. Now he's trying to find a digital trace of what happened to William five years ago in London. But there's not much Devano can find. But Devano did not give up, he tried to open all the articles that contain news in London five years ago. Result nil.
And then he thought of something, maybe the article did not exist or not in the news in Indonesia but certainly in the news in London.
Devano also told someone he knew in London to look for articles or anything that contained about Indonesian men found on the London subway. And the guy says it took him another five years' news and there were a lot of accidents on the subway.
"Dev..." Devano gasped at Sarah's muttering. Sarah rubbed her eyes while yawning "Why don't you sleep? Still work?" sarah asked when she saw the laptop on Devano's lap.
Devano smiled stiffly, recalling Sarah's story that made his heart in a blanket of guilt.
"Yes" replied Devano who even he himself barely heard his voice.
Sarah sat down and then peeked into Devano's laptop, Devano immediately closed his laptop and it made Sarah look suspiciously at Devano.
"Content... What's more work watching 21+?" ask Sarah who immediately makes Devano laugh because honestly Devano never watch the 18+ what else is 21+.
"The other you are watching" exclaimed Devano then put his laptop on the nightstand. Sarah plucked her lips getting such an accusation from Devano.
"That's it" he answered and then went back to sleep on Devano's back.
Devano fell silent again and his guilt really took his composure. He also lay behind Sarah and hugged Sarah who suddenly made Sarah rebelled but Devano still hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry." whispered Devano who made Sarah instantly speechless, then he turned his body and his gaze met with the gaze of Devano who looked at Sarah with such sadness. And that apology sounds so sincere and deep.
"Sorry for what?" sarah asked while frowning confused but instead of answering, Devano closed his eyes while his hands were still faithfully hugging Sarah.
"Devs... Devano..." Devano did not budge and Sarah also tried to fool very much with it. Because actually Sarah is also still sleepy, she tried to sleep again and enjoy the warmth of the husband's embrace.

Five years ago, London.
William snorted in annoyance as he had to take his little sister to London without his parents. William is not unwilling to take care of Sarah, but William was afraid he could not take good care of what else William came to London for a reunion event and for sure he would spend time with his friends. But seeing Sarah who really really wants to go to London makes William not have the heart and he also brought her.
Sarah was not at all troublesome to William, and William was not ashamed to always take Sarah with him even when meeting his friends. Even friends William many friends who feel like and anxious about Sarah who at that time had cheeks like a bakpao.
But when he went to the campus, Sarah did not come at that time because he was exhausted after playing on the playground, he slept in a hotel room alone. At first William was very worried about leaving Sarah but Sarah promised nowhere.
And William went to his college to meet his friends there. And at that time, he saw a girl who was busy listening to music while reading a book alone.
Feeling attracted to the aloof girl, William tried to approach her and invite her to get acquainted. The girl only glanced at William at a glance then refocused on her book.
William did not give up, he sat down next to the girl and took her earphones.
"Hey, what the fuck!" the girl shouted annoyed.
"Oh, Indo.." exclaimed William with a smile "I'm William..."William reached out his hand but the girl ignored him.
"Caitlin, the class is about to start." shouted another girl and the girl immediately went to her friend.
"Hey, Caitlin.." cried William loudly and attracted the attention of people there, Caitlin turned to look annoyed expression "You look so beautiful even if you don't smile. Can you imagine how beautiful you are if you smile? So please, smile for me?" Not happy, Caitlin seemed fed up with William's seduction and he immediately left.
It was William's first meeting with Caitlin and William must admit, Caitlin has a tremendous appeal even though she looks jutek and her appearance was not fashionable like her friends. And from the meeting even though it was only once William could have guessed that Caitlin was a quiet and simple girl.
After meeting with a friend of his. William immediately returned to the hotel because he was already very worried about Sarah. And don't let her Mama know if Sarah's staying alone in the hotel or William will be in the omelette run out.
After arriving at the hotel room, William found Sarah watching a cartoon and laughing loosely, Sarah also seemed to have spent a box of fries and a box of chocolate milk.
"I'm sorry, old brother. Have you eaten?" asked William and Sarah just nodded without turning her head at all because she was really focused with her spectacle made William shake his head.
"Sister, dinner's out." cried Sarah sat William went to the bathroom.
"Where are you going to eat dinner?" William shouted back.
And the night, William brought Sarah to one of the restaurants are luxurious and certainly the menu menu is also expensive. Sarah ordered some food and after that she went to the toilet.
"You want an older brother?" william asks because he's afraid Sarah doesn't know where the toilet is and ends up lost.
"The present age of origin can read you will be lost, Sister" replied Sarah with her smartness and that's what William liked the most from his sister.
And accidentally William again saw Caitlin who like her cooking food but not in eating there. Before Caitlin leaves, William quickly chases her and calls her.
"Hey beautiful.." said William. Caitlin who saw William immediately put on his jutek face and he tried to avoid William but William blocked his path.
"So move away." Caitlin said, and she looked very upset.
"First acquaintance, we haven't been officially acquainted..." William reached out his hand but Caitlin ignored his "Come dong, not knowing then not dear" tempt William. Caitlin stared intently at William and then she encouraged William not to block his path. After that he continued to walk away no matter William who kept calling and teasing him.
"Sweety Catty." exclaimed William once again "Later when we graduate college, we marry yuk" said the word was able to stop Caitlin's steps and he turned to William.
"Based on a crocodile" exclaimed Caitlin who made William immediately chuckle. Caitlin immediately left and when William turned around, he was shocked by Sarah who was behind him.
"Who, Brother?" ask Sarah while peeking at the girl who keeps walking away.
"Your sister-in-law's candidate" William said with a smile. Sarah frowned confused and asked what he meant but William was reluctant to answer her. He brought Sarah back in and their food came.
After finishing his dinner, William immediately brought Sarah back to the hotel to rest.
And the next day, William took Sarah shopping and after shopping William stopped by the campus because he wanted to see Caitlin once again. William had asked Sarah but Sarah refused, saying she was tired and would wait in the car.
William returns to meet Caitlin and as usual, the girl is aloof while listening to music while reading a book in her hand.
"Hey, Sweety Catty..." Caitlin looked up and like her now she was really fed up with William's behavior.
"Don't bother me and go far away from me" Caitlin said, looking furious.
"I just want to be friends, like you don't have friends" William pleaded.
"I don't need friends" said Caitlin.
"Hem, does that mean you need a partner?" it was William's God who made Caitlin seem to want to claw her. Because he did not want to serve William, he immediately went from the presence of William but William soon pursued him.
"Dinner yuk tonight? You see, soon I have to go home to Indo" said William while trying to keep pace with Caitlin's very fast pace.
"Go back there and don't come back again." stressed Caitlin and she went into a class. William just laughed and he stopped chasing.
"I'll be back for you." cried William who attracted the attention of people in the class. Then William left with a flowering feeling of flowers.
The more expensive Caitlin sells, the more William wants to get close to her.
William and Sarah return to the hotel. There, William called his mother and said he would be home in two days. He also said that William had fulfilled everything Sarah wanted, even Sarah's groceries were countless. Sarah heard it was just a crybaby. Then William also told about the girl he met and made William really interested in the girl.
"Later to take her home as Mama's daughter-in-law" William said, Sarah just glanced at her sister when saying that.
Then William and his mother heard him talking about a few things before the end of their conversation.
"Is the girl beautiful, brother?" ask Sarah later.
"Emm she's sweet and adorable" William said as he pinched the tip of Sarah's nose and then William took a bath.
And in the afternoon, William brought Sarah to watch a circus show not far from the hotel where they were staying. So they do not need to take a taxi because walking can.
Sarah enjoyed the show until it was over.
Then they went back to the hotel because it was night. And when it was near the hotel, there was a car that was going so fast that it caught Sarah and William so much that they noticed the car. And suddenly a girl was seen from the back glass and she banged on the glass and seemed to be screaming too. Under the streetlights, William faintly saw the girl who was none other than Caitlin and William looked very surprised. When Sarah asks who the girl is, William just says she's the girl he talked to his mom about. Then he orders Sarah to return to the hotel while he tries to chase the car.
