About three hours drive from Jakarta to Bandung, finally Nathan's car has arrived in front of the house with a towering gate to the top.
A security guard opened the gate for Nathan, when Nathan opened the windshield of his car and the security guard opened the fence of the house, which belonged to Alex.
Nathan parked his car in the garage and got out of the car. Two years he had not visited Alex, because of his work and was also lazy to meet the figure of Reta, his own stepmother who where his age is not surgical far with him.
Nathan gets out of his car to get into the house to see Alex, and of course to see his sister, Farel.
The main door was opened by one of the art works in Alex's house, the art was lowered his head when Nathan came.
He only saw Nathan again after two years of not coming to see Alex.
"Bang, Nathan!"
The screams of the boys crumpled, as Nathan's figure entered Alex's house.
Nathan of course looked to the side, sure enough he had seen the figure of a 9-year-old boy with a basketball in his hand, seen if the boy had run out of sports.
Nathan stretched out his arms, to greet the boy who called out to him.
Well, that kid is Farel himself.
Farel threw his basketball so that it rolled on the floor, only to hug Nathan's figure who had not met for two years.
"Farel kangen the same, bang Nathan!" farel said after landing in Nathan's arms.
Nathan pinched both cheeks of his sister, two years did not meet with Farel make the child grow into a handsome boy.
"Abang Nathan is also kangen with this handsome brother," Nathan said.
The 9-year-old hugged Nathan tightly.
"Where is Eza," asked Farel, releasing his arms to Nathan, and wailing in search of Frezan.
"Bang Eza' will have come to see you before he goes to Bandung," Nathan said.
Because Frezan said goodbye to Alex and Farel of course.
"But Farel still misses Bang Eza, Mama Rara and Hasya and Tegar" Farel said slightly pouting to Nathan.
Honestly, Farel will not leave the house one day just to play if there is Hasya and also Tegar visit Alex's house, because Farel will play with Hasya and Tegar.
"Farel kangen playing with Hasya's sister and also Tegar," he continued with a sullen tone.
Nathan let out his mysterious smile.
"Farel wants to play with Hasya and Hardcore again, right?" nathan asked and was nodding his head in spirit by Farel.
Nathan pinched Farel's nose in a fit of rage."Farel want to come with Nathan to Bandung? Meet with Dedek Hasya and Tegar," said Nathan.
The boy seemed to think for a moment, even though he was 9 years old, not denied if the child was thinking, like an adult.
"Maybe?" farel asked, and was nodding his head back by Nathan.
"Farel wants to, but mommy will definitely not go ngizinin Farel," said Farel a little faint, visible from the tone of his speech.
"If mami Reta ngizinin, Farel would follow Nathan's brother to Bandung to meet with Dedek Hasya and Tegar," Nathan said to make sure, if his sister wanted to.
"Farel."
Nathan and Farel look to the origin of the sound. The figure of a woman with brown dres and wearing high heels in front of the doorway.
"Mammy!" Farel immediately ran to hug the figure of the woman standing in the doorway.
Well, she is a figure of Reta who married Alex when she was still sitting in high school, because the relationship was created figure Farel.
"Mamih, Farel kangen," said Farel softly in Reta's arms.
Looks like she's still pretty, like when she was in High School.
Nathan scrunched his brows, as Farel said the word kangen? Where has Reta been all this time?
Reta and Nathan's eyes stared at each other. Reta kisses her son's cheek..
"Mommy's child takes a bath first well, it's out take his souvenirs in the room, under the same aunt," said Reta, quickly Farel ran to immediately take a shower.
Reta walks and passes Nathan, who is her own stepson.
"Where are you."
Reta's footsteps stopped, hearing Nathan's words.
Reta turned her back, "it's none of your business." Reta replied to Nathan.
"Lo's husband is sick again you should take care of it. Not going on vacation!" nathan said, after seeing the art was carrying a suitcase and of course the suitcase belonged to Reta. What else did Farel say if he missed Reta. It's definitely not, if Reta doesn't go.
Reta revealed a dismissive smile to Nathan, "lo his son, I'm just a wife who was forced to marry bokap lo" explained Reta by suppressing her every word.
"You should be aware of that. If I don't take care of a man I never expected to be my husband" Reta said, leaving Nathan.
Looks like Farel's been taking a bath, because now the boy's in Alex's room, where he's being cared for. Well, Alex prefers to be treated at home rather than in the hospital.
Farel feeds Alex the porridge.
"Fast to heal well, pah," said Farel in a soft word.
It has been almost a year Alex lay sick, and one year that Alex was not spoiled again by the figure of Alex, who always spoil Farel all this time.
The affection is always obtained by Farel, both Reta and Alex.
Alex smiled at his son, he could not reply to Farel's words, because he knew this disease was a disease suffered by men who were aged like him.
"Mommy are you home?" alex asked weakly, because of the pain he spoke became weak.
Farel nodded in agreement with Alex, "just got home recently, and brought Farel a lot of basketball gifts, and other toys," Farel told Alex.
Alex smiled to see his son tell a story, but not with his heart. This year Reta always went out of the country. I don't know what he's up to. Alex can't act like he used to because he's a sick man.
Reta should have been his wife, looking after him because he was sick. From here Alex can reap the wisdom behind all this. In marriage, we must love each other, not just one party.
Nathan massages his dizzy temple, he walks upstairs, which is where Alex is being treated at home.
Nathan doesn't know where Reta's been. Nathan is convinced that his papa was never taken care of by Reta during her illness.
