Bara looked at Yumna who was sound asleep next to the passenger seat, after spilling her grief. They do not know where to go, because when Yumna took him to go Bara immediately agreed, and they just went around the city of Jakarta.
"Kok kok boy cry anyway," Yumna nagged on Bara.
"They are evil as I am" said Bara.
Yumna looked up at Bara.
"Why do you want to protect me, if you are a gini crybaby" Yumna said. "Let's get up, you have to be strong" he continued, helping Bara wake up.
"Let's go home, later Aunt Amira same grandma looking again,"
Yumna led Bara, whose knee was injured by a fall. Whether it is the weak Bara or the Bara who will never fight, Yumna does not know.
"Auntie... Aunt Amira," yumna cried.
"What's wrong, miss?" sahut Amira, in haste.
"Liat Bara fell, and was wounded" he said.
"Oh my God, baby, so be careful."
"He was bullied by a sixth-grader, tan," Yumna fought again.
"Why not fight?" asked Amira softly.
"I'm afraid ma'am" Bara's great-grandson.
"Yes, tomorrow I'll see them. And reprimanding them is okay,"
Bara nodded, while Yumna shook her head.
Bara's daydreams about her childhood with Yumna were scattered, as Yumna muttered indistinctly in her sleep. I don't know when that feeling grew in Bara's heart for Yumna, which she must have felt good about when the girl who was only three years away from her was nearby.
It used to be when Bara went to fourth grade, and Yumna returned to Jakarta. She cries and sulks at her father and mother, making Jakie and Amira find it difficult to calm the child.
"Bara, later Yumna will definitely come back again if the school holidays," said Antiah gave understanding.
"But Grandma, why doesn't Yumna just go to school here? All the children were afraid of Yumna," soed Bara.
"The people of time are protected by Yumna! You have to be brave Bara, if someday Yumna has a problem, you have to help her. You have to be a strong child ok" said Antiah, encouraging Bara.
"Okay grandma, from now on I promise to be a tough kid," said Bara earnestly.
"It's good that it's a great and clever boy" praised Antiah, rubbing Bara's head.

Days, months, and years passed now Bara has grown into a teenager. Yumna is reunited, and Bara is instantly fascinated by Yumna's beauty who is about to graduate High School.
"Bara," yelled Yumna.
"Miss Yumna," Bara smiled as Yumna hugged herself.
"Kok, so you're taller than me anyway?" yumna protests.
Bara chuckles at Yumna's protest, then she pinches Yumna's chuby cheek.
"Because I've grown up, miss," she replied smiling sweetly.
"I'm a big boy too, but why are you taller than me?" protesting back Yumna, pursing her lips made Bara anxious.
"Already miss, just accept I am higher than you," Bara nos.
"Tau ahh," angered Yumna, then left Bara alone.
Bara continues to remember his friendship with Yumna, since graduating from Yumna High School rarely come to Bandung, especially Anjani who was sick to keep Yumna busy working.
While Bara can only resist longing, lucky Yumna has social media that can be seen by him.
Bara decided to turn to an inn, he would book a room first, because the night was getting late and he also needed rest. After ordering a room, Bara carried Yumna, because Yumna was asleep in her sleep, so that tomorrow morning she would think about her next plan.
****
In the morning, Yumna opened her eyes and looked around.
"Where is this?" Where's Bara?"
Yumna spread her gaze, and found Bara sleeping on the sofa in the room.
"Bara," said Yumna.
Yumna went into the bathroom she wanted to wash her face, and changed clothes. Before deciding to go, Yumna had prepared the clothes that she had stored in Bara's car, since yesterday she had not changed clothes and had not taken a shower.
"But I am still beautiful, though I haven't bathed," chuckled Yumna, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
Then do a cleansing on her makeup, a few minutes later. Yumna was done with her morning ritual and was tidy.
"Good morning, Bara." Yumna smiled at Bara
The newly awakened embers get a sweet smile Yumna, seeming to get water in the desert. Cooled his eyes and heart. "Good morning, miss."
"Can you please not call me miss?"
"Why?"
"But you're Antiah's granddaughter, she's rich just like your father,",
Yumna smiled at her smile. "The rich my father and grandmother, I'm not I'm just a poor Bara's son."
"Ou yeah, where are we going today, miss?"
"Bara," whine Yumna.
"alright... All right Yumna," break up Bara.
"I don't know Bara," Yumna went out to the balcony, and breathed in the morning air.
Long thought Bara decided to take Yumna to his mother's hometown, to the Pacitan area of East Java. Close to the beach Banyutibo, and Bara will rent a house around the beach, or a house close to the beach.
They returned to travel overland, to the city of East Java. Approximately eight hours their car has arrived in downtown Pacitan. Then Bara launched his car towards the beach, after resting at the restaurant for an hour, their destination was Banyutibo beach.
The beach with this waterfall is administratively located in Widoro Village, Donorojo Subdistrict, Pacitan Regency, East Java Province. The distance from Pacitan City Center is about 32.5 kilometers with a travel time of about one hour.
After they arrived, Bara searched the nearest inn first, before searching for a house for them. Bara admitted that he was a brother so that the officers would give his room to them.
"Why did you say that?" yumna whispers.
"If we say not sister, we will automatically order two rooms. And you know my money isn't enough" Bara chuckled.
Yumna also turned a lazy eyeball, to be honest he also did not have much money. Just enough to eat everyday maybe.
"Corn," asked Bara, when he got the key.
Bara intends to express his heart to Yumna tonight. Bara glanced at Yumna at a glance, and smiled.
"May it work," Inner Bara.
After arriving at the inn, they immediately lay down first, lucky for their mattress to separate. I booked a room that had two beds.
"You didn't tell your mother?"
"No need, I want to know. How important I am to mother," Yumna exhaled her breath violently.
Then open the balcony of the room, which is located on the third floor. Balcony facing directly to the ocean.
"It must be nice to stay here,"
"We will find a house around here" Bara said.
"Then I will also try to find work," Bara continued.
Yumna smiled at Bara, making Bara's heart flutter.
"Please Yumna don't smile, or I'll drown in your sweet smile," Inner Bara, closed her eyes normalizing the pounding in her heart.
"Why?" yumna asked, when she saw Bara closing her eyes.
"Nothing," the pretext is a lie.
They also enjoy the twilight, which will soon change into a thick night.

Meanwhile in Jakarta, Laura was feeling anxious. Since Yumna hasn't come home from yesterday, Laura keeps calling her son's no but is off.
"He hasn't come home yet?" ask Anjani.
"Not ma'am, yesterday he said only permission to go to the toilet, right at Keano's wedding. But it's gone, I think she's coming home but I'm waiting until midnight not to come back, and until now Yumna hasn't come home and hasn't told you anything, ma'am" Laura said, feel anxious.
"I know that she's not okay Mom. And I let him, I thought he'd tell me the same story if he calmed down but he chose to leave" Laura said.
"That's it, tomorrow we'll tell Mrs Antiah or Mario. So they can find Yumna."
Anjani tries to calm Laura down, though she is worried about her broken-hearted granddaughter.
"Is Mario gonna help us mom? He looks happy with Dania,"
"Mother is sure Mario will help you, no matter how Yumna and Laura are. Now let's go inside, you waited too long outside. We haven't eaten either, have we?"
Laura shook her head weakly, in response. How could he eat, when he did not know the state of Yumna.
"I'm sorry, baby. All wrong mother, who is too late in mother's grief, because of your sister Yusra," inner Laura.
Then Laura tried to send a message back, even though all the messages had not been read. Laura hoped Yumna would give her news soon.
"Hopefully, you're fine, son.",
tbc....
