Reyhan and Sandy invited their five sons to attend an event held by the Indonesian Embassy in England. They had just arrived at the location, where the event was held.
As usual this is an event where the gathering of Indonesians and descendants to get acquainted, greet and let go of longing. They feel as if they are in Indonesia when they meet and gather like this, moreover they can enjoy a menu of various Indonesian dishes that are deliberately served in this way. This is able to remove their longing for the beloved country of Indonesia.
"You must make your time when this event is held" Reyhan advised the five handsome and dashing young men.
"Yes pa" the five answered simultaneously.
Their presence was welcomed by Niko, a staff member who was a friend of Reyhan and Sandy while still studying in the UK.
"It's unexpected that you're on the staff here, Nik" Sandy patted Niko on the shoulder.
"Yes this way, from the apprenticeship here continue to move from one company to another and finally return here as a permanent employee" Niko replied while chuckling in memory of her life journey.
"Are you guys gonna stay here again?" niko asked Reyhan and Sandy, two people who used to help her a lot. He who is studying here because of getting a scholarship must look for additional living costs by himself even though he has received a monthly fee from the scholarship provider. Sandy and Reyhan were the ones who often helped her out at the time, giving her a loan of money but never accepting it when it was returned.
"Our time is past, now is the time for our sons to be educated here" Reyhan replied.
Reyhan and Sandy introduce their five sons to Niko, and explain to the man about the five.
"Titip them Nik, please help if they need anything" Sandy told Niko.
"Of course with pleasure. Maybe this is the time for me to repay all your kindness" Niko replied.
"Mike" Reyhan called Mike who was present with his family. The man just passed them.
Sandy greets her best friend Mike and Mike's current wife Monica, as well as Brian and Mike's son and daughter Monela.
After introducing their five sons to Niko, as well as Monica, Reyhan and Sandy allowed their five sons to travel around to meet many people and get acquainted with them. Both of Mike's children participated with Ilham and others, both of whom have known since the first day of the arrival of the five handsome young people in England. Even Mike's daughter Monela is already pretty familiar with all five.
"Raka" someone called Raka, a soft voice that Raka was very familiar with from the owner of the voice.
"Uncle Bob" Raka immediately hugged the man she called Uncle Bob. It was not his Uncle Bob who called his name earlier, but the girl who was beside Mommy Naylanya's good friend, Jihan.
"Hai Jihan" Raka scolded the girl as she stretched out her arms to hug the girl. There is no awkwardness from the two, although separated by two countries Indonesia and Korea, they still communicate with each other and visit each other.
Ilham, Zola, Revan and Awan follow what Raka does, they hug Bob and greet Jihan, but unlike Raka who hugs Jihan, the four of them only shook hands because they were not so close to Jihan.
"Uncle's Brian and Monela's son and daughter uncle Mike" Raka introduces Brian and Monela to Bob.
"Brian, Monela. I'm Bob your daddy's friend and this is my daughter Jihan" Bob explained to the two.
"Let's go around with us" Ilham invites Jihan to join them and lets Bob meet their father and daddy. Jihan gladly agreed to the invitation of Inspiration.
"Come" Raka embraces Jihan and invites her best friend's daughter to walk with them.
"Bang Rey, Brother Sandy" Bob greeted the two who were still busy talking to Niko and Mike.
"Bob" Mike still recognizes Bob who helped him when his first wife Laura made trouble in Sandy's office.
"Oh... Mike, it's you?" reply Bob greeting Mike.
"Yes it's me" they chuckle while hugging.
"We're like a reunion" Sandy interjected amid their weirdness.
"I never thought I'd see you again Mike" Bob said.
While the adult men reminisce and talk about their busy lives, the children are busy looking around for the food menu they want and watching Indonesian art performances.
"Sophia, are you here too?" Revan who saw Sophia greeting first.
"You came alone?" ask Raka. Sophia nodded her head at her brother.
"Let's join us Sophia" Awan offered the invitation to Sophia.
Sophia eventually joined Ilham and the others, before she was introduced to Jihan, Monela and Brian.
"Sophia introduced this to Jihan, Monela and this is Brian" Zola said as she reached for Sophia's hand to be extended to Jihan and Monela first.
"I can do it myself sister" replied Sophia. Zola chuckled, she was happy to judge the sister of Raka.
"Sir Zola you always tell me when you meet" Sophia said.
"Come Brother Ilham, the only sister who accompanied Phia" Ilham was quite surprised when Sophia who suddenly embraced his arm.
From a distance Reyhan and Sandy see what their sons are doing.
"It looks like you'll soon find Rey's son-in-law" Sandy said, whispering slightly.
"Look at my niece, she shamelessly began to approach Inspiration" he continued, pointing to Sophia who was not shy in embracing the arm of Inspiration. Reyhan who saw it only smiled while shaking his head.
Ilham is different from his sister Ihsan in dealing with the opposite sex. He was the type of man who would judge the opposite sex first before deciding, therefore until now he had not had a lover. While Ihsan though close to Maura, but he still in a relationship with other girls.
"You and Nayla are also Ndy" Reyhan said.
"Look at your son who has nothing is possessive of Jihan" this time Reyhan pointed at Raka with her chin that was embracing Jihan.
"They were close since Rey's childhood" said Sandy who felt ordinary.
"Hey did you forget, you yourself have had a taste for Nayla since childhood" Reyhan tried to remind Sandy. This time Sandy chuckled, she confirmed what Reyhan said.
"What joke are you talking about until you chuckle" Mike who was talking to Bob interrupted Sandy's weirdness.
"Bob, it looks like you and Nayla will be different" Reyhan explained, pointing at Raka and Jihan.
"Isn't that good Bob" Mike patted Bob on the shoulder, he also knew of Bob and Nayla's previous relationship.
"Yes, I don't mind" Bob said.
"How about you, brother?" ask Bob to Sandy. Nayla's husband smiled at Bob.
"Boy boy, I'm handing him the decision" Sandy replied.
"Yes let them make their own choices as long as their choices are good people" Mike mediates a conversation about their daughter's marriage.
Bugh, someone hit Ilham who was standing alone, he was separated from the others. Not separate but intentionally wanting to be alone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" said someone who hit Ilham who turned out to be a girl .
"Are you okay?" ilham asked as he saw the girl's face was as pale as a frightened person.
"It's okay. Sorry I have to run again" replied the girl. But had not been able to run, Ilham held the girl's arm so as not to run.
"Why should I run? Is anyone chasing you?" ask a little curious. He could not bear that the girl had to run again while her face was pale and looked exhausted.
Without waiting for the girl's answer, Ilham invited her away from the place, she took the mineral water that was prepared not far from where she now stood. Ilham told the girl to sit down and handed the mineral water to the girl.
"Drink" he orders the girl. Without waiting for long, the girl immediately spent the grandest of the contents of the water bottle. She does need water, besides being thirsty she also needs a cold one to refresh her body temperature.
